Aggæi Prophetæ 1
1 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:
In the second year of the reign of Darius, on the first day of the sixth month, the word of the LORD came through Haggai the prophet to Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, stating
2 Haec ait Dominus exercituum, dicens: Populus iste dicit: Nondum venit tempus domus Domini aedificandae.
that this is what the LORD of Hosts says: “These people say, ‘The time has not yet come to rebuild the house of the LORD.’”
3 Et factum est verbum Domini in manu Aggaei prophetae, dicens:
Then the word of the LORD came through Haggai the prophet, saying:
4 Numquid tempus vobis est ut habitetis in domibus laqueatis, et domus ista deserta?
“Is it a time for you yourselves to live in your paneled houses, while this house lies in ruins?”
5 Et nunc haec dicit Dominus exercituum: Ponite corda vestra super vias vestras.
Now this is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Consider carefully your ways.
6 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.
You have planted much but harvested little. You eat but never have enough. You drink but never have your fill. You put on clothes but never get warm. You earn wages to put into a bag pierced through.”
7 Haec dicit Dominus exercituum: Ponite corda vestra super vias vestras:
This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Consider carefully your ways.
8 ascendite in montem, portate ligna, et aedificate domum: et acceptabilis mihi erit, et glorificabor, dicit Dominus.
Go up into the hills, bring down lumber, and build the house, so that I may take pleasure in it and be glorified, says the LORD.
9 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.
You expected much, but behold, it amounted to little. And what you brought home, I blew away. Why? declares the LORD of Hosts. Because My house still lies in ruins, while each of you is busy with his own house.
10 Propter hoc super vos prohibiti sunt caeli ne darent rorem, et terra prohibita est ne daret germen suum:
Therefore, on account of you the heavens have withheld their dew and the earth has withheld its crops.
11 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.
I have summoned a drought on the fields and on the mountains, on the grain, new wine, and oil, and on whatever the ground yields, on man and beast, and on all the labor of your hands.”
12 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.
Then Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel and Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, as well as all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of the LORD their God and the words of the prophet Haggai, because the LORD their God had sent him. So the people feared the LORD.
13 Et dixit Aggaeus nuncius Domini de nunciis Domini, populo dicens: Ego vobiscum sum, dicit Dominus.
Haggai, the messenger of the LORD, delivered the message of the LORD to the people: “I am with you,” declares the LORD.
14 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.
So the LORD stirred the spirit of Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, as well as the spirit of all the remnant of the people. And they came and began the work on the house of the LORD of Hosts, their God,
15 In die vigesima et quarta mensis, in sexto mense, in anno secundo Darii regis.
on the twenty-fourth day of the sixth month, in the second year of King Darius.
