Aggæi Prophetæ 2
1 in septimo mense vicesima et prima mensis factum est verbum Domini in manu Aggei prophetae dicens
In the seventh month, on the twenty-first day of the month, the word of the Lord 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
Say now to Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, ruler of Judah, and to Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the rest of the people,
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 there still among you who saw this house in its first glory? and how do you see it now? is it not 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
But now be strong, O Zerubbabel, says the Lord; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest; and be strong, all you people of the land, says the Lord, and get to 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
The agreement which I made with you when you came out of Egypt, and my spirit, are with you still; have no fear.
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 has said: In a short time I will make a shaking of 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 make a shaking of all the nations, and the desired things of all nations will come: and I will make this house full of my 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 second glory of this house will be greater than the first, 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
On the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came by Haggai the prophet, saying,
11 haec dicit Dominus exercituum interroga sacerdotes legem dicens
These are the words of the Lord of armies: Put now a point of law to the priests, 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 anyone has some holy flesh folded in the skirt of his robe, will bread or soup or wine or oil or any other food be made holy if touched by his skirt? And the priests answering said, No.
13 et dixit Aggeus si tetigerit pollutus in anima ex omnibus his numquid contaminabitur et responderunt sacerdotes et dixerunt contaminabitur
Then Haggai said, Will any of these be made unclean by the touch of one who is unclean through touching a dead body? And the priests answering said, It will be made 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 said, So is this people and so is this nation before me, says the Lord; and so is every work of their hands; and the offering they give there is unclean.
15 et nunc ponite corda vestra a die hac et supra antequam poneretur lapis super lapidem in templo Domini
And now, give thought, looking back from this day to the time before one stone was put 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
How, when anyone came to a store of twenty measures, there were only ten: when anyone went to the wine-store to get fifty vessels full, 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
And I sent burning and wasting and a rain of ice-drops on all the works of your hands; but still you were not turned 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
And now, give thought; looking on from this day, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, from the time when the base of the Lord's house was put in its place, give thought to 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 still in the store-house? have the vine and the fig-tree, the pomegranate and the olive-tree, still not given their fruit? from this day I will send my blessing on you.
20 et factum est verbum Domini secundo ad Aggeum in vicesima et quarta mensis dicens
And the word of the Lord came a second time to Haggai, on the twenty-fourth day of the month, saying,
21 loquere ad Zorobabel ducem Iuda dicens ego movebo caelum pariter et terram
Say to Zerubbabel, ruler of Judah, I will make a shaking of 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
Overturning the power of kingdoms; and I will send destruction on the strength of the kingdoms of the nations; by me war-carriages will be overturned with those who are in them; and the horses and the horsemen 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, O Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, says the Lord, and will make you as a jewelled ring: for I have taken you to be mine, says the Lord of armies.
