Haggai 2
1 In the seventh month, on the twenty-first of the month, came the word of Yahweh, by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying:
In septimo mense, vigesima et prima mensis, factum est verbum Domini in manu Aggæi prophetæ, dicens:
2 Speak, I pray thee, unto Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, pasha of Judah, and unto Jehoshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, —and unto the remnant of the people, saying: —
Loquere ad Zorobabel filium Salathiel, ducem Iuda, et ad Iesum filium Iosedec sacerdotem magnum, et ad reliquos populi, dicens:
3 Who is there among you that is left, that saw this house, in its former glory? And how do ye see it now? Is it not, in comparison with that, as nothing, in your eyes?
Quis in vobis est derelictus, qui vidit domum istam in gloria sua prima? et quid vos videtis hanc nunc? numquid non ita est, quasi non sit in oculis vestris?
4 Now, therefore—Be strong, O Zerubbabel, urgeth Yahweh, and be strong, O Jehoshua son of Jehozadak the high priest, and be strong, all ye people of the land, urgeth Yahweh, and work; For, I, am with you, Declareth Yahweh of hosts.
Et nunc confortare Zorobabel, dicit Dominus: et confortare Iesu fili Iosedec sacerdos magne, et confortare omnis populus terræ, dicit Dominus exercituum: et facite (quoniam ego vobiscum sum, dicit Dominus exercituum)
5 The very thing that I solemnized with you, when ye came forth out of the land of Egypt, That, my spirit abiding in your midst, ye should not fear.
verbum quod pepigi vobiscum cum egrederemini de Terra Ægypti: et spiritus meus erit in medio vestrum, nolite timere.
6 For, thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Yet once, a little, it is, —and I am shaking the heavens and the earth, and the sea and the dry land;
Quia hæc dicit Dominus exercituum: Adhuc unum modicum est, et ego commovebo cælum, et terram, et mare, et aridam.
7 And I will shake all the nations, and the delight of all the nations, shall come in, —and I will fill this house with glory, saith Yahweh of hosts.
Et movebo omnes Gentes: ET VENIET DESIDERATUS cunctis Gentibus: et implebo domum istam gloria, dicit Dominus exercituum.
8 Mine is the silver and Mine the gold, Declareth Yahweh of hosts:
Meum est argentum, et meum est aurum, dicit Dominus exercituum.
9 Greater shall be the last glory of this house than the first, saith Yahweh of hosts, —and, in this place, will I give prosperity, Declareth Yahweh of hosts.
Magna erit gloria domus istius novissimæ plus quam primæ, dicit Dominus exercituum: et in loco isto dabo pacem, dicit Dominus exercituum.
10 On the twenty-fourth of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of Yahweh unto Haggai the prophet, saying:
In vigesima et quarta noni mensis, in anno secundo Darii regis, factum est verbum Domini ad Aggæum prophetam, dicens:
11 Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, —I pray you, ask the priests a direction, saying:
Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum: Interroga sacerdotes legem, dicens:
12 If a man carry holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and then toucheth with his skirt bread or a cooked dish or wine or oil or any food, shall it be holy? And the priests answered and said, No.
Si tulerit homo carnem sanctificatam in ora vestimenti sui, et tetigerit de summitate eius panem, aut pulmentum, aut vinum, aut oleum, aut omnem cibum: numquid sanctificabitur? Respondentes autem sacerdotes, dixerunt: Non.
13 Then said Haggai, If one who is defiled for a dead person touch any of these, shall it be defiled? And the priests answered and said, It shall be defiled.
Et dixit Aggæus: Si tetigerit pollutus in anima ex omnibus his, numquid contaminabitur? Et responderunt sacerdotes, et dixerunt: Contaminabitur.
14 Then answered Haggai and said, So, is this people and, so, is this nation before me, Declareth Yahweh, and, so, is every work of their hands, —therefore, whatsoever they offer there, is, defiled.
Et respondit Aggæus, et dixit: Sic populus iste, et sic gens ista ante faciem meam, dicit Dominus, et sic omne opus manuum eorum: et omnia quæ obtulerunt ibi, contaminata erunt.
15 Now, therefore, I pray you apply your heart, from this day and upwards, —So long as there had not been laid one stone upon another in the temple of Yahweh,
Et nunc ponite corda vestra a die hac et supra, antequam poneretur lapis super lapidem in templo Domini.
16 So long were things thus, that, on coming unto a heap of twenty, then was it found to be ten, —on coming unto the vat to draw off fifty measures, then were there found to be twenty.
Cum accederetis ad acervum viginti modiorum, et fierent decem: et intraretis ad torcular, ut exprimeretis quinquaginta lagenas, et fiebant viginti.
17 I smote you with blight and with mildew and with hail, in all the work of your hands, —Yet ye did not return unto me, Declareth Yahweh.
Percussi vos vento urente, et aurugine, et grandine omnia opera manuum vestrarum: et non fuit in vobis, qui reverteretur ad me, dicit Dominus.
18 Apply your heart, I pray you, from this day and upwards, —from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, even from the day when was founded the temple of Yahweh, apply your heart:
Ponite corda vestra ex die ista, et in futurum, a die vigesima et quarta noni mensis: a die, qua fundamenta iacta sunt templi Domini, ponite super cor vestrum.
19 Is the seed yet in the store-house? Howbeit, though at present neither, the vine nor the fig-tree nor the pomegranate nor the olive tree, hath brought forth, from this very day, will I bless you.
Numquid iam semen in germine est: et adhuc vinea, et ficus, et malogranatum, et lignum olivæ non floruit? ex die ista benedicam.
20 Then came the word of Yahweh, the second time unto Haggai, on the twenty-fourth of the month, saying:
Et factum est verbum Domini secundo ad Aggæum in vigesima et quarta mensis, dicens:
21 Speak thou unto Zerubbabel, pasha of Judah, saying, —I am shaking, the heavens and the earth;
Loquere ad Zorobabel ducem Iuda, dicens: Ego movebo cælum pariter et terram.
22 And I will overturn the throne of kingdoms, and will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations, —and I will overturn the chariots and them who ride therein, and horses and their riders, shall come down, every man by the sword of his brother.
Et subvertam solium regnorum, et conteram fortitudinem regni Gentium: et subvertam quadrigam, et ascensorem eius: et descendent equi, et ascensores eorum: vir in gladio fratris sui.
23 On that day, declareth Yahweh of hosts, will I take thee, O Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel—my servant, declareth Yahweh, and will set thee as a signet-ring; For, thee, have I chosen, Declareth Yahweh of hosts.
In die illa, dicit Dominus exercituum, assumam te Zorobabel fili Salathiel serve meus, dicit Dominus: et ponam te quasi signaculum, quia te elegi, dicit Dominus exercituum.
