Aggæi Prophetæ 2
1 In septimo mense, vigesima et prima mensis, factum est verbum Domini in manu Aggæi prophetæ, dicens:
IN the seventh month, in the one and twentieth day of the month, came the word of the Lord by the prophet Haggai, saying,
2 Loquere ad Zorobabel filium Salathiel, ducem Iuda, et ad Iesum filium Iosedec sacerdotem magnum, et ad reliquos populi, dicens:
Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and to the residue 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 that saw this house in her first glory? and how do ye see it now? is it not in your eyes in comparison of it as nothing?
4 Et nunc confortare Zorobabel, dicit Dominus: et confortare Iesu fili Iosedec sacerdos magne, et confortare omnis populus terræ, dicit Dominus exercituum: et facite (quoniam ego vobiscum sum, dicit Dominus exercituum)
Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith the Lord; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest; and be strong, all ye people of the land, saith the Lord, and work: for I am with you, saith the Lord of hosts:
5 verbum quod pepigi vobiscum cum egrederemini de Terra Ægypti: et spiritus meus erit in medio vestrum, nolite timere.
According to the word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt, so my spirit remaineth among you: fear ye not.
6 Quia hæc dicit Dominus exercituum: Adhuc unum modicum est, et ego commovebo cælum, et terram, et mare, et aridam.
For thus saith the Lord of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and 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, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the Lord of hosts.
8 Meum est argentum, et meum est aurum, dicit Dominus exercituum.
The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the Lord of hosts.
9 Magna erit gloria domus istius novissimæ plus quam primæ, dicit Dominus exercituum: et in loco isto dabo pacem, dicit Dominus exercituum.
The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the Lord of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the Lord of hosts.
10 In vigesima et quarta noni mensis, in anno secundo Darii regis, factum est verbum Domini ad Aggæum prophetam, dicens:
In the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the Lord by Haggai the prophet, saying,
11 Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum: Interroga sacerdotes legem, dicens:
Thus saith the Lord of hosts; 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 one bear holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and with his skirt do touch bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any meat, shall it be holy? And the priests answered and said, No.
13 Et dixit Aggæus: Si tetigerit pollutus in anima ex omnibus his, numquid contaminabitur? Et responderunt sacerdotes, et dixerunt: Contaminabitur.
Then said Haggai, If one that is unclean by a dead body touch any of these, shall it be unclean? And the priests answered and said, It shall be unclean.
14 Et respondit Aggæus, et dixit: Sic populus iste, et sic gens ista ante faciem meam, dicit Dominus, et sic omne opus manuum eorum: et omnia quæ obtulerunt ibi, contaminata erunt.
Then answered Haggai, and said, So is this people, and so is this nation before me, saith the Lord; and so is every work of their hands; and 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.
And now, I pray you, consider from this day and upward, from before a stone was laid upon a stone in the temple of the Lord:
16 Cum accederetis ad acervum viginti modiorum, et fierent decem: et intraretis ad torcular, ut exprimeretis quinquaginta lagenas, et fiebant viginti.
Since those days were, when one came to an heap of twenty measures, there were but ten: when one came to the pressfat for to draw out fifty vessels out of the press, 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 smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in all the labours of your hands; yet ye turned not to me, saith the Lord.
18 Ponite corda vestra ex die ista, et in futurum, a die vigesima et quarta noni mensis: a die, qua fundamenta iacta sunt templi Domini, ponite super cor vestrum.
Consider now from this day and upward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, even from 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 olivæ non floruit? ex die ista benedicam.
Is the seed yet in the barn? yea, as yet the vine, and the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree, hath not brought forth: from this day will I bless you.
20 Et factum est verbum Domini secundo ad Aggæum in vigesima et quarta mensis, dicens:
And again the word of the Lord came unto Haggai in the four and twentieth day of the month, saying,
21 Loquere ad Zorobabel ducem Iuda, dicens: Ego movebo cælum 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.
And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the heathen; and I will overthrow the chariots, and those that ride in them; and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother.
23 In die illa, dicit Dominus exercituum, assumam te Zorobabel fili Salathiel serve meus, dicit Dominus: et ponam te quasi signaculum, quia te elegi, dicit Dominus exercituum.
In that day, saith the Lord of hosts, will I take thee, O Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, saith the Lord, and will make thee as a signet: for I have chosen thee, saith the Lord of hosts.
