Aggæi Prophetæ 2
1 in septimo mense vicesima et prima mensis factum est verbum Domini in manu Aggei prophetae dicens
On the twenty-first day of the seventh month, the word of the LORD came through 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 to Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and also to the remnant of the people. Ask them,
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 does it look to you now? Does it not appear to you like nothing in comparison?’
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
But now be strong, O Zerubbabel, declares the LORD. Be strong, O Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest. And be strong, all you people of the land, declares the LORD. Work! For I am with you, declares the LORD of Hosts.
5 verbum quod placui vobiscum cum egrederemini de terra Aegypti et spiritus meus erit in medio vestrum nolite timere
This is the promise I made to you when you came out of Egypt. And My Spirit remains 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 Hosts says: “Once more, in a little while, I will shake the heavens and 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
I will shake all the nations, and they will come with all their treasures, and I will fill this house with glory, says the LORD of Hosts.
8 meum est argentum et meum est aurum dicit Dominus exercituum
The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine, declares the LORD of Hosts.
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 Hosts. And in this place I will provide peace, declares the LORD of Hosts.”
10 in vicesima et quarta noni mensis in anno secundo Darii factum est verbum Domini ad Aggeum prophetam dicens
On the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of the LORD came to Haggai the prophet, saying,
11 haec dicit Dominus exercituum interroga sacerdotes legem dicens
“This is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘Ask the priests for a ruling.
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 a man carries consecrated meat in the fold of his garment, and it touches bread, stew, wine, oil, or any other food, does that item become holy?’” “No,” replied the priests.
13 et dixit Aggeus si tetigerit pollutus in anima ex omnibus his numquid contaminabitur et responderunt sacerdotes et dixerunt contaminabitur
So Haggai asked, “If one who is defiled by contact with a corpse touches any of these, does it become defiled?” “Yes, it becomes defiled,” the priests answered.
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 replied, “So it is with this people and this nation before Me, declares the LORD, and so it is with every work of their hands; whatever they offer there is defiled.
15 et nunc ponite corda vestra a die hac et supra antequam poneretur lapis super lapidem in templo Domini
Now consider carefully from this day forward: Before one stone was placed on another in the temple of the LORD,
16 cum accederetis ad acervum viginti modiorum et fierent decem intraretis ad torcular ut exprimeretis quinquaginta lagoenas et fiebant viginti
from that time, when one came expecting a heap of twenty ephahs of grain, there were but ten. When one came to the winepress to draw out fifty baths, there were but 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—all the work of your hands—with blight, mildew, and hail, but you did not turn to Me, declares 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 carefully from this day forward—from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, the day the foundation of the LORD’s temple was laid—consider carefully:
19 numquid iam semen in germine est et adhuc vinea et ficus et malogranatum et lignum olivae non floruit ex die ista benedicam
Is there still seed in the barn? The vine, the fig, the pomegranate, and the olive tree have not yet yielded fruit. But from this day on, I will bless you.”
20 et factum est verbum Domini secundo ad Aggeum in vicesima et quarta mensis dicens
For the second time that day, the twenty-fourth day of the month, the word of the LORD came to Haggai, saying,
21 loquere ad Zorobabel ducem Iuda dicens ego movebo caelum pariter et terram
“Tell Zerubbabel governor of Judah that I am about to 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 overturn royal thrones and destroy the power of the kingdoms of the nations. I will overturn chariots and their riders; horses and their riders will fall, each 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
On that day, declares the LORD of Hosts, I will take you, My servant, Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, declares the LORD, and I will make you like My signet ring, for I have chosen you, declares the LORD of Hosts.”
