VULGATANEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 In anno secundo Darii regis, in mense sexto, in die una mensis, factum est verbum Domini in manu Aggæi prophetæ, ad Zorobabel, filium Salathiel, ducem Juda, et ad Jesum, filium Josedec, sacerdotem magnum, dicens :1 On the first day of the sixth month in the second year of King Darius, the word of the LORD came through the prophet Haggai to the governor of Judah, Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, and to the high priest Joshua, son of Jehozadak:
2 Hæc ait Dominus exercituum, dicens : Populus iste dicit : Nondum venit tempus domus Domini ædificandæ.2 Thus says the LORD of hosts: This people says: "Not now has the time come to rebuild the house of the LORD."
3 Et factum est verbum Domini in manu Aggæi prophetæ, dicens :3 (Then this word of the LORD came through Haggai, the prophet:)
4 Numquid tempus vobis est ut habitetis in domibus laqueatis,
et domus ista deserta ?
4 Is it time for you to dwell in your own paneled houses, while this house lies in ruins?
5 Et nunc hæc dicit Dominus exercituum :
Ponite corda vestra super vias vestras.
5 Now thus says the LORD of hosts: Consider your ways!
6 Seminastis multum, et intulistis parum ;
comedistis, et non estis satiati ;
bibistis, et non estis inebriati ;
operuistis vos, et non estis calefacti ;
et qui mercedes congregavit, misit eas in sacculum pertusum.
6 You have sown much, but have brought in little; you have eaten, but have not been satisfied; You have drunk, but have not been exhilarated; have clothed yourselves, but not been warmed; And he who earned wages earned them for a bag with holes in it.
7 Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum :
Ponite corda vestra super vias vestras ;
7 Thus says the LORD of hosts: Consider your ways!
8 ascendite in montem, portate ligna, et ædificate domum :
et acceptabilis mihi erit, et glorificabor, dicit Dominus.
8 Go up into the hill country; bring timber, and build the house That I may take pleasure in it and receive my glory, says the LORD.
9 Respexistis ad amplius, et ecce factum est minus ;
et intulistis in domum, et exsufflavi illud :
quam ob causam ? dicit Dominus exercituum :
quia domus mea deserta est,
et vos festinatis unusquisque in domum suam.
9 You expected much, but it came to little; and what you brought home, I blew away. For what cause? says the LORD of hosts. Because my house lies in ruins, while each of you hurries to his own house.
10 Propter hoc super vos prohibiti sunt cæli ne darent rorem,
et terra prohibita est ne daret germen suum :
10 Therefore the heavens withheld from you their dew, and the earth her crops.
11 et vocavi siccitatem super terram, et super montes,
et super triticum, et super vinum, et super oleum,
et quæcumque profert humus,
et super homines, et super jumenta,
et super omnem laborem manuum.
11 And I called for a drought upon the land and upon the mountains; Upon the grain, and upon the wine, and upon the oil, and upon all that the ground brings forth; Upon men and upon beasts, and upon all that is produced by hand.
12 Et audivit Zorobabel, filius Salathiel, et Jesus, filius Josedec, sacerdos magnus, et omnes reliquiæ populi, vocem Domini Dei sui, et verba Aggæi prophetæ, sicut misit eum Dominus Deus eorum ad eos, et timuit populus a facie Domini.12 Then Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, and the high priest Joshua, son of Jehozadak, and all the remnant of the people listened to the voice of the LORD, their God, and to the words of the prophet Haggai, because the LORD, their God, had sent him, and the people feared because of the LORD.
13 Et dixit Aggæus, nuntius Domini de nuntiis Domini, populo dicens : Ego vobiscum sum, dicit Dominus.13 And the LORD'S messenger, Haggai, proclaimed to the people as the message of the LORD: I am with you, says the LORD.
14 Et suscitavit Dominus spiritum Zorobabel, filii Salathiel, ducis Juda, et spiritum Jesu, filii Josedec, sacerdotis magni, et spiritum reliquorum de omni populo : et ingressi sunt, et faciebant opus in domo Domini exercituum, Dei sui.14 Then the LORD stirred up the spirit of the governor of Judah, Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, and the spirit of the high priest Joshua, son of Jehozadak, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people, so that they came and set to work on the house of the LORD of hosts, their God,
15 on the twenty-fourth day of the sixth month. In the second year of King Darius,
