Aggæi Prophetæ 2
1 in septimo mense vicesima et prima mensis factum est verbum Domini in manu Aggei prophetae dicens
In the seventh month, in the twenty-first day of the month, the LORD’s word came by Haggai the prophet, saying,
2 loquere ad Zorobabel filium Salathihel ducem Iuda et ad Iesum filium Iosedech sacerdotem magnum et ad reliquos populi dicens
“Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to 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 is left among you who saw this house in its former glory? How do you see it now? Is not it in your eyes as nothing?
4 et nunc confortare Zorobabel dicit Dominus et confortare Iesu fili Iosedech sacerdos magne et confortare omnis popule terrae dicit Dominus exercituum et facite quoniam ego vobiscum sum dicit Dominus exercituum
Yet now be strong, Zerubbabel,’ says the LORD. ‘Be strong, Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest. Be strong, all you people of the land,’ says the LORD, ‘and work, for I am with you,’ says the LORD of Armies.
5 verbum quod placui vobiscum cum egrederemini de terra Aegypti et spiritus meus erit in medio vestrum nolite timere
This is the word that I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt, and my Spirit lived among you. ‘Do not be afraid.’
6 quia haec dicit Dominus exercituum adhuc unum modicum est et ego commovebo caelum et terram et mare et aridam
For this is what the LORD of Armies says: ‘Yet once more, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, the earth, 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 will shake all nations. The treasure of all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory, says the LORD of Armies.
8 meum est argentum et meum est aurum dicit Dominus exercituum
The silver is mine, and the gold is mine,’ says the LORD of Armies.
9 magna erit gloria domus istius novissimae plus quam primae dicit Dominus exercituum et in loco isto dabo pacem dicit Dominus exercituum
‘The latter glory of this house will be greater than the former,’ says the LORD of Armies; ‘and in this place I will give peace,’ says the LORD of Armies.”
10 in vicesima et quarta noni mensis in anno secundo Darii factum est verbum Domini ad Aggeum prophetam dicens
In the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, the LORD’s word came by Haggai the prophet, saying,
11 haec dicit Dominus exercituum interroga sacerdotes legem dicens
“The LORD of Armies says: Ask now the priests concerning 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
‘If someone carries holy meat in the fold of his garment, and with his fold touches bread, stew, wine, oil, or any food, will it become holy?’” The priests answered, “No.”
13 et dixit Aggeus si tetigerit pollutus in anima ex omnibus his numquid contaminabitur et responderunt sacerdotes et dixerunt contaminabitur
Then Haggai said, “If one who is unclean by reason of a dead body touches any of these, will it be unclean?” The priests answered, “It will be unclean.”
14 et respondit Aggeus et dixit sic populus iste et sic gens ista ante faciem meam dicit Dominus et sic omne opus manuum eorum et omnia quae obtulerint ibi contaminata erunt
Then Haggai answered, “‘So is this people, and so is this nation before me,’ says the LORD; ‘and so is every work of their hands. That which they offer there is unclean.
15 et nunc ponite corda vestra a die hac et supra antequam poneretur lapis super lapidem in templo Domini
Now, please consider from this day and backward, before a stone was laid on a stone in the LORD’s temple.
16 cum accederetis ad acervum viginti modiorum et fierent decem intraretis ad torcular ut exprimeretis quinquaginta lagoenas et fiebant viginti
Through all that time, when one came to a heap of twenty measures, there were only ten. When one came to the wine vat to draw out fifty, there were only 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 struck you with blight, mildew, and hail in all the work of your hands; yet you did not turn to me,’ says the LORD.
18 ponite corda vestra ex die ista et in futurum a die vicesima et quarta noni mensis a die qua fundamenta iacta sunt templi Domini ponite super cor vestrum
‘Consider, please, from this day and backward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, since the day that the foundation of the LORD’s temple was laid, consider it.
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? Yes, the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree have not produced. From today I will bless you.’”
20 et factum est verbum Domini secundo ad Aggeum in vicesima et quarta mensis dicens
The LORD’s word came the second time to Haggai in the twenty-fourth day of the month, saying,
21 loquere ad Zorobabel ducem Iuda dicens ego movebo caelum pariter et terram
“Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, ‘I will shake 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
I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms. I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations. I will overthrow the chariots and those who ride in them. The horses and their riders will come down, everyone by the sword of his brother.
23 in die illo dicit Dominus exercituum adsumam te Zorobabel fili Salathihel serve meus dicit Dominus et ponam te quasi signaculum quia te elegi dicit Dominus exercituum
In that day, says the LORD of Armies, I will take you, Zerubbabel my servant, the son of Shealtiel,’ says the LORD, ‘and will make you like a signet ring, for I have chosen you,’ says the LORD of Armies.”
