Aggæi Prophetæ 2
1 In septimo mense, vigesima et prima mensis, factum est verbum Domini in manu Aggaei prophetae, dicens:
In the seventh [month], in the twenty and first of the month, hath a word of Jehovah been by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying:
2 Loquere ad Zorobabel filium Salathiel, ducem Iuda, et ad Iesum filium Iosedec sacerdotem magnum, et ad reliquos populi, dicens:
'Speak, I pray thee, unto Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and unto Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest, and unto the remnant of the people, saying:
3 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?
Who among you hath been left that saw this house in its former honour? And what are ye seeing it now? Is it not, compared with it, as nothing in your eyes?
4 Et nunc confortare Zorobabel, dicit Dominus: et confortare Iesu fili Iosedec sacerdos magne, et confortare omnis populus terrae, dicit Dominus exercituum: et facite (quoniam ego vobiscum sum, dicit Dominus exercituum)
And now, be strong, O Zerubbabel, An affirmation of Jehovah, And be strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest, And be strong, all ye people of the land, An affirmation of Jehovah, And do ye — (for I [am] with you, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts) —
5 verbum quod pepigi vobiscum cum egrederemini de Terra Aegypti: et spiritus meus erit in medio vestrum, nolite timere.
The thing that I covenanted with you, In your coming forth from Egypt, And My Spirit is remaining in your midst, fear not.
6 Quia haec dicit Dominus exercituum: Adhuc unum modicum est, et ego commovebo caelum, et terram, et mare, et aridam.
For thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Yet once more — it [is] a little, And I am shaking the heavens and the earth, And the sea, and the dry land,
7 Et movebo omnes Gentes: ET VENIET DESIDERATUS cunctis Gentibus: et implebo domum istam gloria, dicit Dominus exercituum.
And I have shaken all the nations, And they have come [to] the desire of all the nations, And I have filled this house [with] honour, Said Jehovah of Hosts.
8 Meum est argentum, et meum est aurum, dicit Dominus exercituum.
Mine [is] the silver, and Mine the gold, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts.
9 Magna erit gloria domus istius novissimae plus quam primae, dicit Dominus exercituum: et in loco isto dabo pacem, dicit Dominus exercituum.
Greater is the honour of this latter house, Than of the former, said Jehovah of Hosts, And in this place do I give peace, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts.'
10 In vigesima et quarta noni mensis, in anno secundo Darii regis, factum est verbum Domini ad Aggaeum prophetam, dicens:
On the twenty and fourth of the ninth [month], in the second year of Darius, hath a word of Jehovah been by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying:
11 Haec dicit Dominus exercituum: Interroga sacerdotes legem, dicens:
Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: 'Ask, I pray thee, the priests [of] the law, saying:
12 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.
Lo, one doth carry holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and he hath come with his skirt against the bread, or against the pottage, or against the wine, or against the oil, or against any food — is it holy?' And the priests answer and say, 'No.'
13 Et dixit Aggaeus: Si tetigerit pollutus in anima ex omnibus his, numquid contaminabitur? Et responderunt sacerdotes, et dixerunt: Contaminabitur.
And Haggai saith, 'If the unclean of body doth come against any of these, is it unclean?' And the priests answer and say, 'It is unclean.'
14 Et respondit Aggaeus, et dixit: Sic populus iste, et sic gens ista ante faciem meam, dicit Dominus, et sic omne opus manuum eorum: et omnia quae obtulerunt ibi, contaminata erunt.
And Haggai answereth and saith, 'So [is] this people, and so [is] this nation before Me — an affirmation of Jehovah — and so [is] every work of their hands, and that which they bring near there — it is unclean.
15 Et nunc ponite corda vestra a die hac et supra, antequam poneretur lapis super lapidem in templo Domini.
And now, lay [it], I pray you, to your heart, From this day, and onwards, Before the laying of stone to stone in the temple of Jehovah.
16 Cum accederetis ad acervum viginti modiorum, et fierent decem: et intraretis ad torcular, ut exprimeretis quinquaginta lagenas, et fiebant viginti.
From that time [one] hath come to a heap of twenty, And it hath been ten, He hath come unto the wine-fat to draw out fifty purahs, And it hath been twenty.
17 Percussi vos vento urente, et aurugine, et grandine omnia opera manuum vestrarum: et non fuit in vobis, qui reverteretur ad me, dicit Dominus.
I have smitten you with blasting, And with mildew, and with hail — All the work of your hands, And there is none of you with Me, An affirmation of Jehovah.
18 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.
Set [it], I pray you, to your heart, from this day and onwards, from the twenty and fourth day of the ninth [month], even from the day that the temple of Jehovah hath been founded, set [it] to your heart.
19 Numquid iam semen in germine est: et adhuc vinea, et ficus, et malogranatum, et lignum olivae non floruit? ex die ista benedicam.
Is the seed yet in the barn? And hitherto the vine and the fig, And the pomegranate, and the olive-tree, Have not borne — from this day I bless.'
20 Et factum est verbum Domini secundo ad Aggaeum in vigesima et quarta mensis, dicens:
And there is a word of Jehovah a second time unto Haggai, on the twenty and fourth of the month, saying:
21 Loquere ad Zorobabel ducem Iuda, dicens: Ego movebo caelum pariter et terram.
'Speak unto Zerubbabel governor of Judah, saying: I am shaking the heavens and the earth,
22 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.
And have overturned the throne of kingdoms, And I have destroyed the strength of kingdoms of the nations, And overturned chariot and its charioteers, And come down have horses and their riders, Each by the sword of his brother.
23 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.
In that day — an affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, I take thee, Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, My servant — an affirmation of Jehovah, And have set thee as a signet, for on thee I have fixed, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts!
