1 In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet unto Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, saying, 2 Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, This people say, The time is not come, the time that the LORD’s house should be built. 3 Then came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying, 4 Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your cieled houses, and this house lie waste? 5 Now therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways. 6 Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe you, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages to put it into a bag with holes.
7 ¶ Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways. 8 Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith the LORD. 9 Ye looked for much, and, lo, it came to little; and when ye brought it home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith the LORD of hosts. Because of mine house that is waste, and ye run every man unto his own house. 10 Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the earth is stayed from her fruit. 11 And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the corn, and upon the new wine, and upon the oil, and upon that which the ground bringeth forth, and upon men, and upon cattle, and upon all the labour of the hands.
12 ¶ Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of the LORD their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet, as the LORD their God had sent him, and the people did fear before the LORD. 13 Then spake Haggai the LORD’s messenger in the LORD’s message unto the people, saying, I am with you, saith the LORD. 14 And the LORD stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and did work in the house of the LORD of hosts, their God, 15 In the four and twentieth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.
1 In anno secundo Darii regis in mense sexto in die una mensis
factum est verbum Domini in manu Aggei prophetae
ad Zorobabel filium Salathihel ducem Iuda
et ad Iesum filium Iosedech sacerdotem magnum dicens
2 haec ait Dominus exercituum dicens
populus iste dicit
nondum venit tempus domus Domini aedificandae
3 et factum est verbum Domini in manu Aggei prophetae dicens
4 numquid tempus vobis est ut habitetis in domibus laqueatis
et domus ista deserta
5 et nunc haec dicit Dominus exercituum
ponite corda vestra super vias vestras
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
7 haec dicit Dominus exercituum
ponite corda vestra super vias vestras
8 ascendite in montem portate lignum et aedificate domum
et acceptabilis mihi erit et glorificabor dicit Dominus
9 respexistis ad amplius et ecce factum est minus
et intulistis in domum et exsuflavi illud
quam ob causam dicit Dominus exercituum
quia domus mea deserta est
et vos festinatis unusquisque in domum suam
10 propter hoc super vos prohibiti sunt caeli ne darent rorem
et terra prohibita est ne daret germen suum
11 et vocavi siccitatem super terram et super montes et super triticum
et super vinum et super oleum et quaecumque profert humus
et super homines et super iumenta
et super omnem laborem manuum
12 et audivit Zorobabel filius Salathihel
et Iesus filius Iosedech sacerdos magnus
et omnes reliquiae populi vocem Dei sui
et verba Aggei prophetae
sicut misit eum Dominus Deus eorum ad ipsos
et timuit populus a facie Domini
13 et dixit Aggeus nuntius Domini de nuntiis Domini populo dicens
ego vobiscum dicit Dominus
14 et suscitavit Dominus spiritum Zorobabel filii Salathihel ducis Iuda
et spiritum Iesu filii Iosedech sacerdotis magni
et spiritum reliquorum de omni populo
et ingressi sunt et faciebant opus in domo Domini exercituum Dei sui
