< Haggai 1 >

1 In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, on the first day of the month, the word of Yahweh came by the hand of Haggai the prophet to the governor of Judah, Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and to the high priest Joshua son of Jehozadak, saying,
In anno secundo Darii regis, in mense sexto, in die una mensis, factum est verbum Domini in manu Aggaei prophetae ad Zorobabel filium Salathiel, ducem Iuda, et ad Iesum, filium Iosadec, sacerdotem magnum, dicens:
2 “Yahweh of hosts says this: These people say, 'It is not time for us to come or to build Yahweh's house.'”
Haec ait Dominus exercituum, dicens: Populus iste dicit: Nondum venit tempus domus Domini aedificandae.
3 Then the word of Yahweh came by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying,
Et factum est verbum Domini in manu Aggaei prophetae, dicens:
4 “Is it a time for you yourselves to live in your finished houses, while this house lies ruined?
Numquid tempus vobis est ut habitetis in domibus laqueatis, et domus ista deserta?
5 So now Yahweh of hosts says this: Consider your ways!
Et nunc haec dicit Dominus exercituum: Ponite corda vestra super vias vestras.
6 You have sown much seed, but bring in little harvest; you eat but do not have enough; you drink but cannot get drunk. You wear clothes but cannot warm yourselves, and the wage earner earns money only to put it into a bag full of holes!
Seminastis multum, et intulistis parum: comedistis, et non estis satiati: bibistis, et non estis inebriati: operuistis vos, et non estis calefacti: et qui mercedes congregavit, misit eas in sacculum pertusum.
7 Yahweh of hosts says this: “Consider your ways!
Haec dicit Dominus exercituum: Ponite corda vestra super vias vestras:
8 Go up to the mountain, bring timber, and build my house; then I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified!—says Yahweh.”
ascendite in montem, portate ligna, et aedificate domum: et acceptabilis mihi erit, et glorificabor, dicit Dominus.
9 “You looked for much, but behold! you have brought little home, for I blew it away! Why?” declares Yahweh of hosts. “Because my house lies in ruins, while every one of you is working on his own house.
Respexistis ad amplius, et ecce factum est minus: et intulistis in domum, et exufflavi illud: quam ob causam, dicit Dominus exercituum? quia domus mea deserta est, et vos festinatis unusquisque in domum suam.
10 Because of this the heavens withhold the dew from you, and the earth withholds its produce.
Propter hoc super vos prohibiti sunt caeli ne darent rorem, et terra prohibita est ne daret germen suum:
11 I have summoned a drought upon the land and upon the mountains, upon the grain and upon the new wine, upon the oil and upon the harvest of the earth, upon men and upon beasts, and upon all the labor of your hands!”
et vocavi siccitatem super terram, et super montes, et super triticum, et super vinum, et super oleum, et quaecumque profert humus, et super homines, et super iumenta, et super omnem laborem manuum.
12 Then Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and the high priest Joshua son of Jehozadak, along with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of Yahweh their God and the words of Haggai the prophet, because Yahweh their God had sent him and the people feared the face of Yahweh.
Et audivit Zorobabel filius Salathiel, et Iesus filius Iosedech sacerdos magnus, et omnes reliquiae populi vocem Dei sui, et verba Aggaei prophetae, sicut misit eum Dominus Deus eorum ad eos: et timuit populus a facie Domini.
13 Then Haggai, the messenger of Yahweh, spoke Yahweh's message to the people and said, “I am with you!—this is Yahweh's declaration!”
Et dixit Aggaeus nuncius Domini de nunciis Domini, populo dicens: Ego vobiscum sum, dicit Dominus.
14 So Yahweh stirred up the spirit of the governor of Judah, Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and the spirit of the high priest Joshua son of Jehozadak, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people, so that they went and worked on the house of Yahweh of hosts, their God
Et suscitavit Dominus spiritum Zorobabel filii Salathiel, ducis Iuda, et spiritum Iesu filii Iosedec sacerdotis magni, et spiritum reliquorum de omni populo: et ingressi sunt, et faciebant opus in domo Domini exercituum Dei sui.
15 in the twenty-fourth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.
In die vigesima et quarta mensis, in sexto mense, in anno secundo Darii regis.
