KING JAMES BIBLENOVA VULGATA
1 Then the prophets, Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah the son of Iddo, prophesied unto the Jews that were in Judah and Jerusalem in the name of the God of Israel, even unto them.1 Prophetae autem Aggaeus et Zacharias filius Addo propheta verunt adIudaeos, qui erant in Iudaea et Ierusalem, in nomine Dei Israel, quod erat supereos.
2 Then rose up Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and began to build the house of God which is at Jerusalem: and with them were the prophets of God helping them.2 Tunc surrexerunt Zorobabel filius Salathiel et Iesua filius Iosedec etcoeperunt aedificare templum Dei in Ierusalem; prophetae autem Dei adiuvabanteos.
3 At the same time came to them Tatnai, governor on this side the river, and Shethar-boznai, and their companions, and said thus unto them, Who hath commanded you to build this house, and to make up this wall?3 In ipso autem tempore venit ad eos Thathanai, qui erat dux trans flumen,et Stharbuzanai et consiliarii eorum, sicque dixerunt eis: “ Quis dedit vobispotestatem, ut domum hanc aedificaretis et materiam istam praepararetis?
4 Then said we unto them after this manner, What are the names of the men that make this building?4 Quaesunt nomina hominum auctorum aedificationis illius? ”.
5 But the eye of their God was upon the elders of the Jews, that they could not cause them to cease, till the matter came to Darius: and then they returned answer by letter concerning this matter.5 Oculus autem Deieorum factus est super senes Iudaeorum, et non obstiterunt eis, usque dum res adDarium referretur, et tunc sententia de hac re redderetur.
6 The copy of the letter that Tatnai, governor on this side the river, and Shethar-boznai, and his companions the Apharsachites, which were on this side the river, sent unto Darius the king:6 Exemplar epistulae, quam misit Thathanai dux regionis trans flumen etStharbuzanai et consiliatores eius et duces, qui erant trans flumen, ad Dariumregem.
7 They sent a letter unto him, wherein was written thus; Unto Darius the king, all peace.7 Sermo, quem miserant ei, sic scriptus erat:
“ Dario regi pax omnis.
8 Be it known unto the king, that we went into the province of Judea, to the house of the great God, which is builded with great stones, and timber is laid in the walls, and this work goeth fast on, and prospereth in their hands.8 Notum sit regi isse nos ad Iudaeam provinciam, addomum Dei magni, quae aedificatur lapide quadrato, et ligna ponuntur inparietibus; opusque illud diligenter exstruitur et crescit in manibus eorum.
9 Then asked we those elders, and said unto them thus, Who commanded you to build this house, and to make up these walls?9 Interrogavimus ergo senes illos et ita diximus eis: “Quis dedit vobispotestatem, ut domum hanc aedificaretis et materiam istam praepararetis?”.
10 We asked their names also, to certify thee, that we might write the names of the men that were the chief of them.10 Sed et nomina eorum quaesivimus ab eis, ut nuntiaremus tibi, scripsimusquenomina eorum virorum, qui sunt principes in eis.
11 And thus they returned us answer, saying, We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth, and build the house that was builded these many years ago, which a great king of Israel builded and set up.11 Huiuscemodi autem sermonem responderunt nobis dicentes: “Nos sumus serviDei caeli et terrae et aedificamus templum, quod erat exstructum ante hos annosmultos, quodque rex Israel magnus aedificaverat et exstruxerat.
12 But after that our fathers had provoked the God of heaven unto wrath, he gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, the Chaldean, who destroyed this house, and carried the people away into Babylon.12 Postquamautem ad iracundiam provocaverunt patres nostri Deum caeli, tradidit eos inmanus Nabuchodonosor regis Babylonis Chaldaei, qui domum hanc destruxit etpopulum eius transtulit in Babylonem.
13 But in the first year of Cyrus the king of Babylon the same king Cyrus made a decree to build this house of God.13 Anno autem primo Cyri regis Babylonis, Cyrus rex proposuit edictum, ut domusDei haec aedificaretur.
14 And the vessels also of gold and silver of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took out of the temple that was in Jerusalem, and brought them into the temple of Babylon, those did Cyrus the king take out of the temple of Babylon, and they were delivered unto one, whose name was Sheshbazzar, whom he had made governor;14 Nam et vasa templi Dei aurea et argentea, quaeNabuchodonosor tulerat de templo, quod erat in Ierusalem, et asportaverat ea intemplum Babylonis, protulit Cyrus rex de templo Babylonis, et data sunt virocuidam nomine Sasabassar, quem et principem constituit,
15 And said unto him, Take these vessels, go, carry them into the temple that is in Jerusalem, and let the house of God be builded in his place.15 dixitque ei: 'Haecvasa tolle et vade et pone ea in templo, quod est in Ierusalem, et domus Deiaedificetur in loco suo'.
16 Then came the same Sheshbazzar, and laid the foundation of the house of God which is in Jerusalem: and since that time even until now hath it been in building, and yet it is not finished.16 Tunc itaque Sasabassar ille venit et posuitfundamenta templi Dei in Ierusalem, et ex eo tempore usque nunc aedificatur etnecdum completum est”.
17 Now therefore, if it seem good to the king, let there be search made in the king's treasure house, which is there at Babylon, whether it be so, that a decree was made of Cyrus the king to build this house of God at Jerusalem, and let the king send his pleasure to us concerning this matter.17 Nunc ergo, si videtur regi bonum, recenseat in aerario regis, quod est inBabylone, utrumnam a Cyro rege potestas data fuerit, ut aedificaretur domus Deiin Ierusalem, et voluntatem regis super hac re mittat ad nos ”.
