Haggai 1
1 In the second year of Darius the king, on the first day of the sixth month, this message from the Lord came through Haggai the prophet to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest:
In anno secundo Darii regis, in mense sexto, in die una mensis, factum est verbum Domini in manu Aggæi prophetæ ad Zorobabel filium Salathiel, ducem Iuda, et ad Iesum, filium Iosedec, sacerdotem magnum, dicens:
2 The Lord of hosts says: The people say that the time has not yet come to rebuild the temple of the Lord.
Hæc ait Dominus exercituum, dicens: Populus iste dicit: Nondum venit tempus domus Domini ædificandæ.
3 Then this message from the Lord came to Haggai the prophet:
Et factum est verbum Domini in manu Aggæi prophetæ, dicens:
4 Is it a time for you yourselves to live in your own well-roofed houses, while this temple lies in ruins?
Numquid tempus vobis est ut habitetis in domibus laqueatis, et domus ista deserta?
5 The Lord of hosts says: Consider your past experiences.
Et nunc hæc dicit Dominus exercituum: Ponite corda vestra super vias vestras.
6 You sow much, but bring in little; you eat, but you do not have enough; you drink, but are not filled; you clothe yourselves, but not enough to be warm; and those who earn wages, put those wages in a bag with holes.
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.
7 The Lord of hosts says: Consider your experiences.
Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum: Ponite corda vestra super vias vestras:
8 Go up to the mountains, and bring wood and rebuild the temple; then I will be pleased with it, and I will reveal my glory. The Lord says:
ascendite in montem, portate ligna, et ædificate domum: et acceptabilis mihi erit, et glorificabor, dicit Dominus.
9 You looked for much, and it came to little; and when you brought the harvest home, I blew it away. Why? The Lord of hosts says: Because my temple lies in ruins, while you shelter in your own houses.
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.
10 The heavens withhold the dew, and the earth withholds its fruit,
Propter hoc super vos prohibiti sunt cæli ne darent rorem, et terra prohibita est ne daret germen suum:
11 and I have called forth a drought upon the land and upon the mountains, and upon the grain and the new wine and the oil and upon that which the ground brings forth, and upon people and animals, and upon all the labor of your hands.
et vocavi siccitatem super terram, et super montes, et super triticum, et super vinum, et super oleum, et quæcumque profert humus, et super homines, et super iumenta, et super omnem laborem manuum.
12 Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and Joshua the son of Jehozadak the high priest, with all the rest of the people, obeyed the command of the Lord their God and the words of Haggai the prophet, as the Lord their God had sent him to them. They showed proper respect for the Lord.
Et audivit Zorobabel filius Salathiel, et Iesus filius Iosedec sacerdos magnus, et omnes reliquiæ populi vocem Domini Dei sui, et verba Aggæi prophetæ, sicut misit eum Dominus Deus eorum ad eos: et timuit populus a facie Domini.
13 Haggai, the prophet of the Lord, as the Lord commanded him, told the people: ‘The Lord says: I am with you.’
Et dixit Aggæus nuncius Domini de nuntiis Domini, populo dicens: Ego vobiscum sum, dicit Dominus.
14 And the Lord 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 rest of the people, so that they came and worked on the temple of the Lord of hosts, their God,
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:
15 in the twenty-fourth day of the sixth month. In the second year of Darius the king,
in die vigesima et quarta mensis, in sexto mense, in anno secundo Darii regis.
