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 Daryavesh the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, the word of Jehovah came by Haggai, the prophet, to Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, saying,
2 haec ait Dominus exercituum dicens populus iste dicit nondum venit tempus domus Domini aedificandae
"This is what Jehovah of hosts says: These people say, 'The time hasn't yet come, the time for Jehovah's house to be built.'"
3 et factum est verbum Domini in manu Aggei prophetae dicens
Then the word of Jehovah came by 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 dwell in your paneled houses, while this house lies waste?
5 et nunc haec dicit Dominus exercituum ponite corda vestra super vias vestras
Now therefore this is what Jehovah of hosts says: Consider 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 sown much, and bring in little. You eat, but you do not have enough. You drink, but you aren't filled with drink. You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm, and he who earns wages earns wages to put them into a bag with holes in it."
7 haec dicit Dominus exercituum ponite corda vestra super vias vestras
This is what Jehovah of hosts says: "Consider your ways.
8 ascendite in montem portate lignum et aedificate domum et acceptabilis mihi erit et glorificabor dicit Dominus
Go up to the mountain, bring wood, and build the house. I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified," says Jehovah.
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 looked for much, and, look, it came to little; and when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why?" says Jehovah of hosts, "Because of my house that lies waste, 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 for your sake the heavens withhold the dew, and the earth withholds its fruit.
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 called for a drought on the land, and on the mountains, and on the grain, and on the new wine, on the oil, and on all what the ground produces, and on men, and on livestock, and on all the labor of the 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
Then Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of Jehovah, their God, and the words of Haggai, the prophet, as Jehovah, their God, had sent him; and the people feared Jehovah.
13 et dixit Aggeus nuntius Domini de nuntiis Domini populo dicens ego vobiscum dicit Dominus
Then Haggai, Jehovah's messenger, spoke Jehovah's message to the people, saying, "I am with you," says Jehovah.
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
Jehovah stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and worked on the house of Jehovah of hosts, their God,
15 in die vicesima et quarta mensis in sexto mense in anno secundo Darii regis
in the twenty-fourth day of the month, in the sixth month, in the second year of Daryavesh the king.
