§2.1Τῇ τετράδι καὶ εἰκάδι τοῦ μηνὸς τοῦ ἕκτου τῷ δευτέρῳ ἔτει ἐπὶ Δαρίου τοῦ βασιλέως (1)τῷ μηνὶ τῷ ἑβδόμῳ μιᾷ καὶ εἰκάδι τοῦ μηνὸς ἐλάλησεν Κύριος ἐν χειρὶ Ἀγγαίου τοῦ προφήτου λέγων §2.2Εἰπὸν δὴ πρὸς Ζοροβάβελ τὸν Σαλαθιὴλ ἐκ φυλῆς Ἰούδα καὶ πρὸς Ἰησοῦν τὸν τοῦ Ἰωσεδὲκ τὸν ἱερέα τὸν μέγαν καὶ πρὸς πάντας τοὺς καταλοίπους τοῦ λαοῦ λέγων §2.3Τίς ἐξ ὑμῶν ὃς εἶδεν τὸν οἶκον τοῦτον ἐν τῇ δόξῃ αὐτοῦ τῇ ἔμπροσθεν;
On the twenty-fourth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king, (1)on the twenty-first day of the seventh month, the word of the Lord came by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying: Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, of the tribe of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the chief priest, and to all the remnant of the people, saying: Who is left among you who saw this house in its former glory?
καὶ πῶς ὑμεῖς βλέπετε αὐτὸν νῦν καθὼς οὐχ ὑπάρχοντα ἐνώπιον ὑμῶν.
And how do you see it now?
§4καὶ νῦν κατίσχυε, Ζοροβαβέλ, λέγει Κύριος, καὶ κατίσχυε, Ἰησοῦ ὁ τοῦ Ἰωσεδὲκ ὁ ἱερεὺς ὁ μέγας, καὶ κατισχυέτω πᾶς ὁ λαὸς τῆς γῆς, λέγει Κύριος, καὶ ποιεῖτε· διότι μεθʼ ὑμῶν ἐγὼ εἰμι, λέγει Κύριος ὁ παντοκράτωρ, §2.5καὶ τὸ πνεῦμά μου ἐφέστηκεν ἐν μέσῳ ὑμῶν· θαρσεῖτε. §2.6διότι λέγει Κύριος ΙΙαντοκράτωρ Ἔτι ἅπαξ ἐγὼ σείσω τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ τὴν θάλασσαν καὶ τὴν ξηράν, §2.7καὶ συνσείσω πάντα τὰ ἔθνη, καὶ ἥξει τὰ ἐκλεκτὰ πάντων τῶν ἐθνῶν· καὶ πλήσω τὸν οἶκον τοῦτον δόξης, λέγει Κύριος Παντοκράτωρ. §2.8ἐμὸν τὸ ἀργύριον καὶ ἐμὸν τὸ χρυσίον, λέγει Κύριος αντοκράτωρ. §2.9διότι μεγάλη ἔσται ἡ δόξα τοῦ οἴκου τούτου ἡ ἐσχάτη ὑπέρ τὴν πρώτην, λέγει Κύριος Παντοκράτωρ· καὶ ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τούτῳ δώσω εἰρήνην, λέγει Κύριος Πfαντοκράτωρ, καὶ εἰρήνην ψυχῆς εἰς περιποίησιν παντὶ τῷ κτίζοντι τοῦ ἀναστῆσαι τὸυ ναὸν τοῦτον. §2.10Τετράδι καὶ εἰκάδι τοῦ ἐνάτου μηνὸς ἔτους δευτέρου ἐπὶ Δαρίου ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς Ἀγγαῖον τὸν προφήτην λέγων §2.11Τάδε λέγει Κύριος Παντοκράτωρ Ἐπερώτησον τοὺς ἱερεῖς νόμον λέγων §2.12Ἐὸν λάβῃ ἄνθρωπος κρέας ἅγιον ἐν τῷ ἄκρῳ τοῦ ἱματίου αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἄψηται τὸ ἄκρον τοῦ ἱματίου αὐτοῦ ἄρτου ἡ ἑψέματος ἢ οἴνου ἢ ἐλαίου ἢ παντὸς βρώματος, εἰ ἁγιασθήσεται;
Is it not in your eyes as nothing? now be strong, O Zerubbabel, says the Lord; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the chief priest; and let all the people of the land be strong, says the Lord, and work; for I am with you, says the Lord Almighty, and my Spirit remains in your midst; fear not. For thus says the Lord Almighty: Yet once more I will shake the heaven and the earth, the sea and the dry land; and I will shake all nations, and the choice things of all nations shall come; and I will fill this house with glory, says the Lord Almighty. The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, says the Lord Almighty. For the future glory of this house shall be greater than the former, says the Lord Almighty; and in this place I will give peace, says the Lord Almighty, even peace of soul for a possession to everyone who works to rebuild this temple. On the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came to Haggai the prophet, saying: Thus says the Lord Almighty: Ask the priests for a ruling, saying: If a man carries holy meat in the fold of his garment, and with the fold of his garment touches bread, or stew, or wine, or oil, or any food, will it become holy?
καὶ ἀπεκρίθησαν οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ εἶπαν Οὔ. §2.13καὶ εἶπεν Ἁγγαῖος Ἐὰν ἅψηται μεμιαμμένος ἀκάθαρτος ἐπὶ ψυχῇ ἐπὶ παντὸς τούτων, εἰ μιανθήσεται;
And the priests answered and said, No. Then Haggai said, If one who is unclean by reason of a dead body touches any of these, will it become unclean?
καὶ ἀπεκρίθησαν οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ εἶπαν Μιανθήσεται. §2.14καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Ἁγγαῖος καὶ εἶπεν Οὕτως ὁ λαὸς οὗτος, καὶ οὕτως τὸ ἔθνος τοῦτο ἐνώπιον ἐμοῦ, λέγει Κύριος, καὶ οὕτως πάντα τὰ ἔργα τῶν χειρῶν αὐτῶν, καὶ ὃς ἐὰν ἐγγίσῃ ἐκεῖ, μιανθήσεται ἕνεκεν τῶν λημμάτων αὐτῶν τῶν ὀρθρινῶν, ὀδυνηθήσονται ἀπὸ προσώπου πόνων αὐτῶν·
And the priests answered and said, It will be unclean. And Haggai answered and said, So is this people, and so is this nation before me, says the Lord; and so is every work of their hands; and whoever comes near there shall be defiled because of their early gains; they shall suffer pain because of their labors.
καὶ ἐμισεῖτε ἐν πύλαις ἐλέγχοντας. §2.15καὶ νῦν θέσθε δὴ εἰς τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν ἀπὸ τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης καὶ ὑπεράνω, πρὸ τοῦ θεῖναι λίθον ἐπὶ λίθου ἐν τῷ ναῷ Κυρίου, §2.16τίνες ἦτε, ὅτε ἐνεβάλλετε εἰς κυψέλην κριθῆς εἴκοσι σάτα, καὶ ἐγένετο κριθῆς δέκα σάτα, καὶ εἰσεπορεύεσθε εἰς τὸ ὑπολήνιον ἐξαντλῆσαι πεντήκοντα μετρητάς, καὶ ἐγένοντο εἴκοσι. §2.17ἐπάταξα ὑμᾶς ἐν ἀφορίᾳ καὶ ἐν ἀνεμοφθορίᾳ καὶ ἐν χαλάζῃ, πάντα τὰ ἔργα τῶν χειρῶν ὑμῶν, καὶ οὐκ ἐπεστρέψατε πρὸς μέ, λέγει Κύριος. §2.18ὑποτάξατε δὴ τὰς καρδίας¶ ὑμῶν ἀπὸ τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης καὶ ἐπέκεινα, ἀπὸ τῆς τετράδος καὶ εἰκάδος τοῦ ἐυάτου μηνός, καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς ἡμέρας ἧς τεθεμελίωται ὁ ναὸς Κυρίου· θέσθε ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις ὑμῶν, §2.19εἰ ἐπιγνωσθήσεται ἐπὶ τῆς ἃλω, καὶ εἰ ἔτι ἡ ἄμπελος καὶ ἡ συκῆ καὶ ἡ ῥοὰ καὶ τὰ ξύλα τῆς ἐλαίας τὰ οὐ φέροντα καρπόν·
And you hated those who reproved in the gates. And now, set your hearts from this day and onward, before a stone was laid upon a stone in the temple of the Lord, what state were you in, when you came to a heap of twenty sata of barley, and there were only ten; and when you came to the wine vat to draw out fifty metretes, and there were only twenty? I smote you with blight and with mildew and with hail in all the labors of your hands; yet you did not turn to me, says the Lord. Set your hearts now from this day and onward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, and from the day when the foundation of the temple of the Lord was laid; set it in your hearts, will it still be recognized on the threshing floor, and do the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive trees that did not bear fruit, still yield nothing?
ἀπὸ τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης εὐλογήσω. §2.20Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου ἐκ δευτέρου πρὸς Ἁγγαῖον τὸν πρὸφήτην τετράδι καὶ εἰκάδι τοῦ μηνὸς λέγων §2.21Εἰπὸν πρὸς Ζοροβάβελ τὸν τοῦ Σαλαθιὴλ ἐκ φυλῆς Ἰούδα λέγων Ἐγὼ σείω τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ τὴν θάλασσαν καὶ τὴν ξηράν, §2.22καὶ καταστρέψω θρόνους βασιλέων, καὶ ὀλεθρεύσω δύναμιν βασιλέων τῶν ἐθνῶν, καὶ καταστρέψω ἄρματα καὶ ἀναβάτας, καὶ καταβήσονται ἵπποι καὶ ἀναβάτοι αὐτῶν ἕκαστος ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ πρὸς τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ. §2.23ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, λέγει Κύριος Παντοκράτωρ, λήμψομαί σε Ζοροβάβελ τὸν τοῦ Σαλαθιὴλ τὸν δοῦλόν μου, λέγει Κύριος. καὶ θήσομαί σε ὡς σφραγῖδα, διότι σέ ᾑρέτισα, λέγει Κύριος Παντοκράτωρ.
From this day I will bless you. And the word of the Lord came a second time to Haggai the prophet on the twenty-fourth day of the month, saying: Speak to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, of the tribe of Judah, saying: I will shake the heaven and the earth, the sea and the dry land; and I will overthrow the thrones of kings, and I will destroy the power of the kings of the nations; and I will overthrow the chariots and those who ride in them; and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother. In that day, says the Lord Almighty, I will take you, O Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, says the Lord; and I will make you as a signet ring, for I have chosen you, says the Lord Almighty.
