Aggeus 2

VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 In die vigesima et quarta mensis, in sexto mense, in anno secundo Darii regis.	1 In the four and twentieth day of the month, in the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king, they began.
2 In septimo mense, vigesima et prima mensis, factum est verbum Domini in manu Aggæi prophetæ, dicens :	2 And in the seventh month, the word of the Lord came by the hand of Aggeus the prophet, saying:
3 Loquere ad Zorobabel, filium Salathiel, ducem Juda, et ad Jesum, filium Josedec, sacerdotem magnum, et ad reliquos populi, dicens :	3 Speak to Zorobabel the son of Salathiel the governor of Juda, and to Jesus the son of Josedec the high priest, and to the rest of the people, saying:
4 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 ?	4 Who is left among you, that saw this house in its first glory? and how do you see it now? is it not in comparison to that as nothing in your eyes?
5 Et nunc confortare, Zorobabel, dicit Dominus ; et confortare, Jesu, fili Josedec, sacerdos magne ; et confortare, omnis populus terræ, dicit Dominus exercituum : et facite (quoniam ego vobiscum sum, dicit Dominus exercituum)	5 Yet now take courage, O Zorobabel, saith the Lord, and take courage, O Jesus the son of Josedec the high priest, and take courage, all ye people of the land, saith the Lord of hosts: and perform (for I am with you, saith the Lord of hosts)
6 verbum quod pepigi vobiscum cum egrederemini de terra Ægypti : et spiritus meus erit in medio vestrum : nolite timere.	6 The word that I covenanted with you when you came out of the land of Egypt: and my spirit shall be in the midst of you: fear not.
7 Quia hæc dicit Dominus exercituum : Adhuc unum modicum est, et ego commovebo cælum, et terram, et mare, et aridam.	7 For thus saith the Lord of hosts: Yet one little while, and I will move the heaven and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land.
8 Et movebo omnes gentes, et veniet desideratus cunctis gentibus : et implebo domum istam gloria, dicit Dominus exercituum.	8 And I will move all nations: AND THE DESIRED OF ALL NATIONS SHALL COME: and I will fill this house with glory: saith the Lord of hosts.
9 Meum est argentum, et meum est aurum, dicit Dominus exercituum.	9 The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the Lord of hosts.
10 Magna erit gloria domus istius novissimæ plus quam primæ, dicit Dominus exercituum : et in loco isto dabo pacem, dicit Dominus exercituum.	10 Great shall be the glory of this last house more than of the first, saith the Lord of hosts: and in this place I will give peace, saith the Lord of hosts.
11 In vigesima et quarta noni mensis, in anno secundo Darii regis, factum est verbum Domini ad Aggæum prophetam, dicens :	11 In the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius the king, the word of the Lord came to Aggeus the prophet, saying:
12 Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum : Interroga sacerdotes legem, dicens :	12 Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Ask the priests the law, saying:
13 Si tulerit homo carnem sanctificatam in ora vestimenti sui, et tetigerit de summitate ejus panem, aut pulmentum, aut vinum, aut oleum, aut omnem cibum, numquid sanctificabitur ? Respondentes autem sacerdotes, dixerunt : Non.	13 If a man carry sanctified flesh in the skirt of his garment, and touch with his skirt, bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any meat: shall it be sanctified? And the priests answered, and said: No.
14 Et dixit Aggæus : Si tetigerit pollutus in anima ex omnibus his, numquid contaminabitur ? Et responderunt sacerdotes, et dixerunt : Contaminabitur.	14 And Aggeus said: If one that is unclean by occasion of a soul touch any of all these things, shall it be defiled? And the priests answered, and said: It shall be defiled.
15 Et respondit Aggæus, et dixit : Sic populus iste, et sic gens ista ante faciem meam, dicit Dominus, et sic omne opus manuum eorum : et omnia quæ obtulerunt ibi, contaminata erunt.	15 And Aggeus answered, and said: So is this people, and so is this nation before my face, saith the Lord, and so is all the work of their hands: and all that they have offered there, shall be defiled.
16 Et nunc ponite corda vestra a die hac et supra, antequam poneretur lapis super lapidem in templo Domini.	16 And now consider in your hearts, from this day and upward, before there was a stone laid upon a stone in the temple of the Lord.
17 Cum accederetis ad acervum viginti modiorum, et fierent decem ; et intraretis ad torcular, ut exprimeretis quinquaginta lagenas, et fiebant viginti.	17 When you went to a heap of twenty bushels, and they became ten: and you went into the press, to press out fifty vessels, and they became twenty.
18 Percussi vos vento urente, et aurugine, et grandine omnia opera manuum vestrarum : et non fuit in vobis qui reverteretur ad me, dicit Dominus.	18 I struck you with a blasting wind, and all the works of your hand with the mildew and with hail, yet there was none among you that returned to me, saith the Lord.
19 Ponite corda vestra ex die ista, et in futurum, a die vigesima et quarta noni mensis : a die qua fundamenta jacta sunt templi Domini, ponite super cor vestrum.	19 Set your hearts from this day, and henceforward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month: from the day that the foundations of the temple of the Lord were laid, and lay it up in your hearts.
20 Numquid jam semen in germine est, et adhuc vinea, et ficus, et malogranatum, et lignum olivæ non floruit ? ex die ista benedicam.	20 Is the seed as yet sprung up? or hath the vine, and the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree as yet flourished? from this day I will bless you.
21 Et factum est verbum Domini secundo ad Aggæum in vigesima et quarta mensis, dicens :	21 And the word of the Lord came a second time to Aggeus in the four and twentieth day of the month, saying:
22 Loquere ad Zorobabel ducem Juda, dicens : Ego movebo cælum pariter et terram,	22 Speak to Zorobabel the governor of Juda, saying: I will move both heaven and earth.
23 et subvertam solium regnorum, et conteram fortitudinem regni gentium : et subvertam quadrigam et ascensorem ejus, et descendent equi, et ascensores eorum, vir in gladio fratris sui.	23 And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and will destroy the strength of the kingdom of the Gentiles: and I will overthrow the chariot, and him that rideth therein: and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother.
24 In die illa, dicit Dominus exercituum, assumam te, Zorobabel, fili Salathiel, serve meus, dicit Dominus : et ponam te quasi signaculum, quia te elegi, dicit Dominus exercituum.	24 In that day, saith the Lord of hosts, I will take thee, O Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, my servant, saith the Lord, and will make thee as a signet, for I have chosen thee, saith the Lord of hosts.
