Prophetia Aggaei, 2

1. In septimo mense, vicesima et prima mensis, factum est ver bum Domini in manu Aggaei prophetae dicens:

1. in the seventh month, on the twenty-first day of the month, the word of the LORD came by Haggai the prophet,

2. “Loquere ad Zorobabel filium Salathiel ducem Iudae et ad Iesua filium Iosedec sacerdotem magnum et ad reliquos populi dicens:

2. "Speak now to Zerub'babel the son of She-al'ti-el, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehoz'adak, the high priest, and to all the remnant of the people, and say,

3. Quis in vobis est derelictus, qui vidit domum istam in gloria sua prima? Et quid vos videtis eam nunc? Numquid non ita est quasi non sit in oculis vestris?

3. `Who is left among you that saw this house in its former glory? How do you see it now? Is it not in your sight as nothing?

4. Sed et nunc confortare, Zorobabel, dicit Dominus, et confortare, Iesua fili Iosedec sacerdos magne, et confortare, omnis popule terrae, dicit Dominus exercituum; et facite, quoniam ego vobiscum sum, dicit Dominus exercituum.

4. Yet now take courage, O Zerub'babel, says the LORD; take courage, O Joshua, son of Jehoz'adak, the high priest; take courage, all you people of the land, says the LORD; work, for I am with you, says the LORD of hosts,

5. Verbum quod pepigi vobiscum, cum egrederemini de terra Aegypti, et spiritus meus stat in medio vestrum; nolite timere.

5. according to the promise that I made you when you came out of Egypt. My Spirit abides among you; fear not.

6. Quia haec dicit Dominus exercituum: Adhuc unum modicum est, et ego commovebo caelum et terram et mare et aridam.

6. For thus says the LORD of hosts: Once again, in a little while, I will shake the heavens and the earth and the sea and the dry land;

7. Et movebo omnes gentes, et venient thesauri cunctarum gentium, et implebo domum istam gloria, dicit Dominus exercituum.

7. and I will shake all nations, so that the treasures of all nations shall come in, and I will fill this house with splendor, says the LORD of hosts.

8. Meum est argentum et meum est aurum, dicit Dominus exercituum.

8. The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, says the LORD of hosts.

9. Maior erit gloria domus istius novissima plus quam prima, dicit Dominus exercituum; et in loco isto dabo pacem, dicit Dominus exercituum”.

9. The latter splendor of this house shall be greater than the former, says the LORD of hosts; and in this place I will give prosperity, says the LORD of hosts.'"

10. In vicesima et quarta noni mensis, in anno secundo Darii, factum est verbum Domini ad Aggaeum prophetam dicens:

10. 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,

11. “Haec dicit Dominus exercituum: Interroga sacerdotes legem dicens:

11. "Thus says the LORD of hosts: Ask the priests to decide this question,

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”.

12. `If one carries holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and touches with his skirt bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any kind of food, does it become holy?'" The priests answered, "No."

13. Et dixit Aggaeus: “Si tetigerit pollutus cadavere omnia haec, numquid contaminabuntur?”. Et responderunt sacerdotes et dixerunt: “Contaminabuntur”.

13. Then said Haggai, "If one who is unclean by contact with a dead body touches any of these, does it become unclean?" The priests answered, "It does become unclean."

14. Et respondit Aggaeus et dixit: “Sic populus iste et sic gens ista ante faciem meam, dicit Dominus, et sic omne opus manuum eorum et omnia, quae offerunt ibi, contaminata sunt.

14. Then Haggai said, "So is it with this people, and with this nation before me, says the LORD; and so with every work of their hands; and what they offer there is unclean.

15. Et nunc ponite corda vestra a die hac et supra: Antequam poneretur lapis super lapidem in templo Domini,

15. Pray now, consider what will come to pass from this day onward. Before a stone was placed upon a stone in the temple of the LORD,

16. quid fuistis? Cum accederetis ad acervum viginti modiorum, erant decem; cum intraretis ad torcular, ut hauriretis quinquaginta lagenas, erant viginti.

16. how did you fare? When one came to a heap of twenty measures, there were but ten; when one came to the winevat to draw fifty measures, there were but twenty.

17. Percussi vos ariditate et rubigine et grandine omnia opera manuum vestrarum, et non fuit in vobis qui reverteretur ad me, dicit Dominus.

17. I smote you and all the products of your toil with blight and mildew and hail; yet you did not return 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.

18. Consider from this day onward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month. Since the day that the foundation of the LORD's temple was laid, consider:

19. Numquid adhuc semen in horreo est, et adhuc vinea et ficus et malogranatum et lignum olivae non portavit fructum? Ex die hac benedicam”.

19. Is the seed yet in the barn? Do the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree still yield nothing? From this day on I will bless you."

20. Et factum est verbum Domini secundo ad Aggaeum in vicesima et quarta mensis dicens:

20. The word of the LORD came a second time to Haggai on the twenty-fourth day of the month,

21. “Loquere ad Zorobabel ducem Iudae dicens: Ego movebo caelum pariter et terram

21. "Speak to Zerub'babel, governor of Judah, saying, I am about to shake the heavens and the earth,

22. et subvertam solium regnorum et conteram fortitudinem regnorum gentium et subvertam quadrigam et ascensores eius; et descendent equi et ascensores eorum, unusquisque percussus gladio fratris sui.

22. and to overthrow the throne of kingdoms; I am about to destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations, and overthrow the chariots and their riders; and the horses and their riders shall go down, every one by the sword of his fellow.

23. In die illo, dicit Dominus exercituum, assumam te, Zorobabel fili Salathiel, serve meus, dicit Dominus, et ponam te quasi signaculum, quia te elegi”, dicit Dominus exercituum.

23. On that day, says the LORD of hosts, I will take you, O Zerub'babel my servant, the son of She-al'ti-el, says the LORD, and make you like a signet ring; for I have chosen you, says the LORD of hosts."
