Aggæi Prophetæ 1
1 in anno secundo Darii regis in mense sexto in die una mensis factum est verbum Domini in manu Aggei prophetae ad Zorobabel filium Salathihel ducem Iuda et ad Iesum filium Iosedech sacerdotem magnum dicens
In the second year of king Darius, in the sixth month, on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came, by the hand of Haggai the prophet, to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Jesus the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, saying:
2 haec ait Dominus exercituum dicens populus iste dicit nondum venit tempus domus Domini aedificandae
Thus says the Lord of hosts, saying: This people claims that the time has not yet arrived for building the house of the Lord.
3 et factum est verbum Domini in manu Aggei prophetae dicens
But the word of the Lord came by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying:
4 numquid tempus vobis est ut habitetis in domibus laqueatis et domus ista deserta
Is it time for you to dwell in paneled houses, while this house is deserted?
5 et nunc haec dicit Dominus exercituum ponite corda vestra super vias vestras
And now, thus says the Lord of hosts: Set your hearts upon 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 sowed much and have brought in little. You consumed and have not been satisfied. You drank and have not been inebriated. You covered yourselves and have not been warmed. And whoever gathered wages, has put them in a bag with holes.
7 haec dicit Dominus exercituum ponite corda vestra super vias vestras
Thus says the Lord of hosts: Set your hearts upon your ways.
8 ascendite in montem portate lignum et aedificate domum et acceptabilis mihi erit et glorificabor dicit Dominus
Ascend to the mountain, bring wood and build the house, and it shall be acceptable to me, and I shall be glorified, says the Lord.
9 respexistis ad amplius et ecce factum est minus et intulistis in domum et exsuflavi illud quam ob causam dicit Dominus exercituum quia domus mea deserta est et vos festinatis unusquisque in domum suam
You have looked for more, and behold, it became less, and you brought it home, and I blew it away. What is the cause of this, says the Lord of hosts? It is because my house is desolate, yet you have hurried, each one to his own house.
10 propter hoc super vos prohibiti sunt caeli ne darent rorem et terra prohibita est ne daret germen suum
Because of this, the heavens over you have been prohibited from giving dew, and the earth has been prohibited from giving her sprouts.
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
And I called a drought over the land, and over the mountains, and over the wheat, and over the wine, and over the oil, and whatever the soil would bring forth, and over men, and over beasts of burden, and over all the labor of hands.
12 et audivit Zorobabel filius Salathihel et Iesus filius Iosedech sacerdos magnus et omnes reliquiae populi vocem Dei sui et verba Aggei prophetae sicut misit eum Dominus Deus eorum ad ipsos et timuit populus a facie Domini
And Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jesus the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and all the remnant of the people heeded the voice of the Lord their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet, just as the Lord their God sent him to them. And the people were fearful before the face of the Lord.
13 et dixit Aggeus nuntius Domini de nuntiis Domini populo dicens ego vobiscum dicit Dominus
And Haggai, a messenger of the Lord among messengers of the Lord, spoke to the people, saying: the Lord says, “I am with you.”
14 et suscitavit Dominus spiritum Zorobabel filii Salathihel ducis Iuda et spiritum Iesu filii Iosedech sacerdotis magni et spiritum reliquorum de omni populo et ingressi sunt et faciebant opus in domo Domini exercituum Dei sui
And the Lord stirred the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Jesus the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of the remainder of all the people. And they entered and performed work in the house of the Lord of hosts their God.
15 in die vicesima et quarta mensis in sexto mense in anno secundo Darii regis
On the twenty-fourth day of the month, in the sixth month, in the second year of king Darius, they began.
