1:1 In the second year of Darius the king,
in the sixth month, on the firs [day] of the month, the word of Yehovah
came by the hand of the prophet Aggaeus, saying, Speak to Zorobabel the son
of Salathiel, of the tribe of Judah, and to Jesus the son of Josedec, the
high priest, saying,
1:2 Thus saith Yehovah Almighty, saying, This people say, The time is not
come to build the house of Yehovah.
1:3 And the word of Yehovah came by the hand of the prophet Aggaeus,
saying,
1:4 Is it time for you to dwell in your ceiled houses, whereas our house is
desolate?
1:5 And now thus saith Yehovah Almighty; Consider your ways, I pray you.
1:6 Ye have sown much, but brought in little; ye have eaten, and are not
satisfied; ye have drunk, and are not satisfied with drink, ye have clothed
yourselves, and have not become warm thereby: and he that earns wages has
gathered [them] into a bag full of holes.
1:7 Thus saith Yehovah Almighty; Consider your ways.
1:8 Go up to the mountain, and cut timber; build the house, and I will take
pleasure in it, and be glorified, saith Yehovah.
1:9 Ye looked for much, and there came little; and it was brought into the
house, and I blew it away. Therefore thus saith Yehovah Almighty, Because
my house is desolate, and ye run everyone into his own house;
1:10 therefore shall the sky withhold dew, and the earth shall keep back her
produce.
1:11 And I will bring a sword upon the land, and upon the mountains, and
upon the corn, and upon the wine, and upon the oil, and all that the earth
produces, and upon the men, and upon the cattle, and upon all the labours of
their hands.
1:12 And Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, of the tribe of Judah, and Jesus the
son of Josedec, the high priest, and all the remnant of the people,
hearkened to the voice of Yehovah their Elohim, and the words of the prophet
Aggaeus, according as Yehovah their Elohim had sent him to them, and the
people feared before Yehovah.
1:13 And Aggaeus Yehovah's messenger spoke among the messengers of Yehovah
to the people, [saying], I am with you, saith Yehovah.
1:14 And Yehovah stirred up the spirit of Zorobabel the son of Salathiel,
of the tribe of Judah, and the spirit of Jesus the son of Josedec, the high
priest, and the spirit of the remnant of all the people; and they went in,
and wrought in the house of Yehovah Almighty their Elohim,
1:15 on the four and twentieth [day] of the sixth month, in the second year
of Darius the king. |
1:1 In the second year of Darius the king,
in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, came the word of Yehovah
by Haggai the prophet unto Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of
Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, saying,
1:2 Thus speaketh Yehovah of hosts, saying, This people say, The time is
not come, the time that Yehovah's house should be built.
1:3 Then came the word of Yehovah by Haggai the prophet, saying,
1:4 Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your cieled houses, and this house
lie waste?
1:5 Now therefore thus saith Yehovah of hosts; Consider your ways.
1:6 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.
1:7 Thus saith Yehovah of hosts; Consider your ways.
1:8 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 Yehovah.
1:9 Ye looked for much, and, lo it came to little; and when ye brought it
home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith Yehovah of hosts. Because of mine
house that is waste, and ye run every man unto his own house.
1:10 Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the earth is
stayed from her fruit.
1:11 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.
1:12 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
Yehovah their Elohim, and the words of Haggai the prophet, as Yehovah their Elohim
had sent him, and the people did fear before Yehovah.
1:13 Then spake Haggai Yehovah's messenger in Yehovah's message unto the
people, saying, I am with you, saith Yehovah.
1:14 And Yehovah 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 Yehovah of hosts, their Elohim,
1:15 In the four and twentieth day of the sixth month, in the second year of
Darius the king. |
