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 of the month, came the word of Yahweh, by the hand of 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, I pray thee, unto Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, pasha of Judah, and unto Jehoshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, —and unto 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 there among you that is left, that saw this house, in its former glory? And how do ye see it now? Is it not, in comparison with that, as nothing, in your eyes?
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
Now, therefore—Be strong, O Zerubbabel, urgeth Yahweh, and be strong, O Jehoshua son of Jehozadak the high priest, and be strong, all ye people of the land, urgeth Yahweh, and work; For, I, am with you, Declareth Yahweh of hosts.
5 verbum quod placui vobiscum cum egrederemini de terra Aegypti et spiritus meus erit in medio vestrum nolite timere
The very thing that I solemnized with you, when ye came forth out of the land of Egypt, That, my spirit abiding in your midst, ye should not fear.
6 quia haec dicit Dominus exercituum adhuc unum modicum est et ego commovebo caelum et terram et mare et aridam
For, thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Yet once, a little, it is, —and I am shaking 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 the nations, and the delight of all the nations, shall come in, —and I will fill this house with glory, saith Yahweh of hosts.
8 meum est argentum et meum est aurum dicit Dominus exercituum
Mine is the silver and Mine the gold, Declareth Yahweh of hosts:
9 magna erit gloria domus istius novissimae plus quam primae dicit Dominus exercituum et in loco isto dabo pacem dicit Dominus exercituum
Greater shall be the last glory of this house than the first, saith Yahweh of hosts, —and, in this place, will I give prosperity, Declareth Yahweh 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 of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of Yahweh unto Haggai the prophet, saying:
11 haec dicit Dominus exercituum interroga sacerdotes legem dicens
Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, —I pray you, ask the priests a direction, 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 a man carry holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and then toucheth with his skirt bread or a cooked dish or wine or oil or any food, shall it be holy? And the priests answered and said, No.
13 et dixit Aggeus si tetigerit pollutus in anima ex omnibus his numquid contaminabitur et responderunt sacerdotes et dixerunt contaminabitur
Then said Haggai, If one who is defiled for a dead person touch any of these, shall it be defiled? And the priests answered and said, It shall be defiled.
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 answered Haggai and said, So, is this people and, so, is this nation before me, Declareth Yahweh, and, so, is every work of their hands, —therefore, whatsoever 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, therefore, I pray you apply your heart, from this day and upwards, —So long as there had not been laid one stone upon another in the temple of Yahweh,
16 cum accederetis ad acervum viginti modiorum et fierent decem intraretis ad torcular ut exprimeretis quinquaginta lagoenas et fiebant viginti
So long were things thus, that, on coming unto a heap of twenty, then was it found to be ten, —on coming unto the vat to draw off fifty measures, then were there found to be 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 blight and with mildew and with hail, in all the work of your hands, —Yet ye did not return unto me, Declareth Yahweh.
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
Apply your heart, I pray you, from this day and upwards, —from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, even from the day when was founded the temple of Yahweh, apply your heart:
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 store-house? Howbeit, though at present neither, the vine nor the fig-tree nor the pomegranate nor the olive tree, hath brought forth, from this very day, will I bless you.
20 et factum est verbum Domini secundo ad Aggeum in vicesima et quarta mensis dicens
Then came the word of Yahweh, the second time unto Haggai, on the twenty-fourth of the month, saying:
21 loquere ad Zorobabel ducem Iuda dicens ego movebo caelum pariter et terram
Speak thou unto Zerubbabel, pasha of Judah, saying, —I am shaking, 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 overturn the throne of kingdoms, and will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations, —and I will overturn the chariots and them who ride therein, and horses and their riders, shall come down, every man 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, declareth Yahweh of hosts, will I take thee, O Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel—my servant, declareth Yahweh, and will set thee as a signet-ring; For, thee, have I chosen, Declareth Yahweh of hosts.
