ΕΝ τῷ δευτέρῳ ἔτει ἐπὶ Δαρείου τοῦ βασιλέως, ἐν τῷ μηνὶ τῷ ἕκτῳ, μιᾷ τοῦ μηνός, ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου ἐν χειρὶ ᾿Αγγαίου τοῦ προφήτου λέγων· εἰπὸν πρὸς Ζοροβάβελ τὸν τοῦ Σαλαθιὴλ ἐκ φυλῆς ᾿Ιούδα καὶ πρὸς ᾿Ιησοῦν τὸν τοῦ ᾿Ιωσεδὲκ τὸν ἱερέα τὸν μέγαν λέγων·

2 τάδε λέγει Κύριος παντοκράτωρ λέγων· ὁ λαὸς οὗτος λέγουσιν· οὐχ ἥκει ὁ καιρὸς τοῦ οἰκοδομῆσαι τὸν οἶκον Κυρίου.

3 καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου ἐν χειρὶ ᾿Αγγαίου τοῦ προφήτου λέγων·

4 εἰ καιρὸς μὲν ὑμῖν ἐστι τοῦ οἰκεῖν ἐν οἴκοις ὑμῶν κοιλοστάθμοις, ὁ δὲ οἶκος οὗτος ἐξηρήμωται;

5 καὶ νῦν τάδε λέγει Κύριος παντοκράτωρ· τάξατε δὴ καρδίας ὑμῶν εἰς τὰς ὁδούς ὑμῶν.

6 ἐσπείρατε πολλὰ καὶ εἰσηνέγκατε ὀλίγα, ἐφάγετε καὶ οὐκ εἰς πλησμονήν, ἐπίετε καὶ οὐκ εἰς μέθην, περιεβάλεσθε καὶ οὐκ ἐθερμάνθητε ἐν αὐτοῖς, καὶ ὁ τοὺς μισθοὺς συνάγων συνήγαγεν εἰς δεσμὸν τετρυπημένον.

7 τάδε λέγει Κύριος παντοκράτωρ· θέσθε τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν εἰς τὰς ὁδοὺς ὑμῶν·

8 ἀνάβητε εἰς τὸ ὄρος καὶ κόψατε ξύλα καὶ οἰκοδομήσατε τὸν οἶκον, καὶ εὐδοκήσω ἐν αὐτῷ καὶ ἐνδοξασθήσομαι, εἶπε Κύριος.

9 ἐπεβλέψατε εἰς πολλά, καὶ ἐγένετο ὀλίγα· καὶ εἰσηνέχθη εἰς τὸν οἶκον, καὶ ἐξεφύσησα αὐτά. διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος παντοκράτωρ· ἀνθ᾿ ὧν ὁ οἶκός μού ἐστιν ἔρημος, ὑμεῖς δὲ διώκετε ἕκαστος εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ,

10 διὰ τοῦτο ἀνέξει ὁ οὐρανὸς ἀπὸ δρόσου, καὶ ἡ γῆ ὑποστελεῖται τὰ ἐκφόρια αὐτῆς·

11 καὶ ἐπάξω ρομφαίαν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ ὄρη καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν σῖτον καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν οἶνον καὶ ἐπὶ τὸ ἔλαιον καὶ ὅσα ἐκφέρει ἡ γῆ καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς ἀνθρώπους καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ κτήνη καὶ ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς πόνους τῶν χειρῶν αὐτῶν.

12 καὶ ἤκουσε Ζοροβάβελ ὁ τοῦ Σαλαθιὴλ ἐκ φυλῆς ᾿Ιούδα καὶ ᾿Ιησοῦς ὁ τοῦ ᾿Ιωσεδὲκ ὁ ἱερεὺς ὁ μέγας καὶ πάντες οἱ κατάλοιποι τοῦ λαοῦ τῆς φωνῆς Κυρίου τοῦ Θεοῦ αὐτῶν καὶ τῶν λόγων τοῦ ᾿Αγγαίου τοῦ προφήτου, καθότι ἐξαπέστειλεν αὐτὸν Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς αὐτῶν πρὸς αὐτούς, καὶ ἐφοβήθη ὁ λαὸς ἀπὸ προσώπου Κυρίου.

13 καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Αγγαῖος ἄγγελος Κυρίου ἐν ἀγγέλοις Κυρίου τῷ λαῷ· ἐγώ εἰμι μεθ᾿ ὑμῶν, λέγει Κύριος.

14 καὶ ἐξήγειρε Κύριος τὸ πνεῦμα Ζοροβάβελ τοῦ Σαλαθιὴλ ἐκ φυλῆς ᾿Ιούδα καὶ τὸ πνεῦμα ᾿Ιησοῦ τοῦ ᾿Ιωσεδὲκ τοῦ ἱερέως τοῦ μεγάλου καὶ τὸ πνεῦμα τῶν καταλοίπων παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ, καὶ εἰσῆλθον καὶ ἐποίουν ἔργα ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ Κυρίου παντοκράτορος Θεοῦ αὐτῶν

15 τῇ τετράδι καὶ εἰκάδι τοῦ μηνὸς τοῦ ἕκτου, τῷ δευτέρῳ ἔτει, ἐπὶ Δαρείου τοῦ βασιλέως.


2

ΤΩ μηνὶ τῷ ἑβδόμῳ, μιᾷ καὶ εἰκάδι τοῦ μηνός, ἐλάλησε Κύριος ἐν χειρὶ ᾿Αγγαίου τοῦ προφήτου λέγων·

2 εἰπὸν δὴ πρὸς Ζοροβάβελ τὸν τοῦ Σαλαθιὴλ ἐκ φυλῆς ᾿Ιούδα καὶ πρὸς ᾿Ιησοῦν τοῦ ᾿Ιωσεδὲκ τὸν ἱερέα τὸν μέγαν καὶ πρὸς πάντας τοὺς καταλοίπους τοῦ λαοῦ λέγων·

3 τίς ἐξ ὑμῶν, ὃς εἶδε τὸν οἶκον τοῦτον ἐν τῇ δόξῃ αὐτοῦ τῇ ἔμπροσθεν; καὶ πῶς ὑμεῖς βλέπετε αὐτὸν νῦν καθὼς οὐχ ὑπάρχοντα ἐνώπιον ὑμῶν;

4 καὶ νῦν κατίσχυε, Ζοροβάβελ, λέγει Κύριος, καὶ κατίσχυε, ᾿Ιησοῦ ὁ τοῦ ᾿Ιωσεδὲκ ὁ ἱερεὺς ὁ μέγας, καὶ κατισχυέτω πᾶς ὁ λαὸς τῆς γῆς, λέγει Κύριος, καὶ ποιεῖτε· διότι μεθ᾿ ὑμῶν ἐγώ εἰμι, λέγει Κύριος ὁ παντοκράτωρ,

5 καὶ τὸ πνεῦμά μου ἐφέστηκεν ἐν μέσῳ ὑμῶν· θαρσεῖτε,

6 διότι τάδε λέγει Κύριος παντοκράτωρ· ἔτι ἅπαξ ἐγὼ σείσω τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ τὴν θάλασσαν καὶ τὴν ξηράν·

7 καὶ συσσείσω πάντα τὰ ἔθνη, καὶ ἥξει τὰ ἐκλεκτὰ πάντων τῶν ἐθνῶν, καὶ πλήσω τὸν οἶκον τοῦτον δόξης, λέγει Κύριος παντοκράτωρ.

8 ἐμὸν τὸ ἀργύριον καὶ ἐμὸν τὸ χρυσίον, λέγει Κύριος παντοκράτωρ.

9 διότι μεγάλη ἔσται ἡ δόξα τοῦ οἴκου τούτου ἡ ἐσχάτη ὑπὲρ τὴν πρώτην, λέγει Κύριος παντοκράτωρ· καὶ ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τούτῳ δώσω εἰρήνην, λέγει Κύριος παντοκράτωρ, καὶ εἰρήνην ψυχῆς εἰς περιποίησιν παντὶ τῷ κτίζοντι τοῦ ἀναστῆσαι τὸν ναὸν τοῦτον.

10 Τετράδι καὶ εἰκάδι τοῦ ἐνάτου μηνός, ἔτους δευτέρου, ἐπὶ Δαρείου, ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς ᾿Αγγαῖον τὸν προφήτην λέγων·

11 τάδε λέγει Κύριος παντοκράτωρ· ἐπερώτησον δὴ τοὺς ἱερεῖς νόμον λέγων·

12 ἐὰν λάβῃ ἄνθρωπος κρέας ἅγιον ἐν τῷ ἄκρῳ τοῦ ἱματίου αὐτοῦ καὶ ἅψηται τὸ ἄκρον τοῦ ἱματίου αὐτοῦ ἄρτου ἢ ἑψήματος ἢ οἴνου ἢ ἐλαίου ἢ παντὸς βρώματος, εἰ ἁγιασθήσεται; καὶ ἀπεκρίθησαν οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ εἶπαν· οὔ.

13 καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Αγγαῖος· ἐὰν ἅψηται μεμιασμένος ἀκάθαρτος ἐπὶ ψυχῇ ἐπὶ παντὸς τούτων, εἰ μιανθήσεται; καὶ ἀπεκρίθησαν οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ εἶπαν· μιανθήσεται.

14 καὶ ἀπεκρίθη ᾿Αγγαῖος 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· καὶ ἐμισεῖτε ἐν πύλαις ἐλέγχοντας

15 καὶ νῦν θέσθε δὴ εἰς τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν ἀπὸ τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης καὶ ὑπεράνω πρὸ τοῦ θεῖναι λίθον ἐπὶ λίθον ἐν τῷ ναῷ Κυρίου,

16 τίνες ᾖτε, ὅτε ἐνεβάλλετε εἰς κυψέλην κριθῆς εἴκοσι σάτα, καὶ ἐγένοντο κριθῆς δέκα σάτα· καὶ εἰσεπορεύεσθε εἰς τὸ ὑπολήνιον ἐξαντλῆσαι πεντήκοντα μετρητάς, καὶ ἐγένοντο εἴκοσι.

 

17 ἐπάταξα ὑμᾶς ἐν ἀφορίᾳ καὶ ἐν ἀνεμοφθορίᾳ καὶ ἐν χαλάζῃ πάντα τὰ ἔργα τῶν χειρῶν ὑμῶν, καὶ οὐκ ἐπεστρέψατε πρός με, λέγει Κύριος.

18 ὑποτάξατε δὴ τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν ἀπὸ τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης καὶ ἐπέκεινα· ἀπὸ τῆς τετράδος καὶ εἰκάδος τοῦ ἐνάτου μηνὸς καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς ἡμέρας, ἧς τεθεμελίωται ὁ ναὸς Κυρίου· θέσθε ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις ὑμῶν,

19 εἰ ἔτι ἐπιγνωσθήσεται ἐπὶ τῆς ἅλω καὶ εἰ ἔτι ἡ ἄμπελος καὶ ἡ συκῆ καὶ ἡ ροὰ καὶ τὰ ξύλα τῆς ἐλαίας τὰ οὐ φέροντα καρπόν, ἀπὸ τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης εὐλογήσω.

20 Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου ἐκ δευτέρου πρὸς ᾿Αγγαῖον τὸν προφήτην τετράδι καὶ εἰκάδι τοῦ μηνὸς λέγων·

21 εἰπὸν πρὸς Ζοροβάβελ τὸν τοῦ Σαλαθιὴλ ἐκ φυλῆς ᾿Ιούδα λέγων· ἐγὼ σείω τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ τὴν θάλασσαν καὶ τὴν ξηρὰν

22 καὶ καταστρέψω θρόνους βασιλέων καὶ ὀλοθρεύσω δύναμιν βασιλέων τῶν ἐθνῶν καὶ καταστρέψω ἅρματα καὶ ἀναβάτας, καὶ καταβήσονται ἵπποι καὶ ἀναβάται αὐτῶν, ἕκαστος ἐν ρομφαίᾳ πρὸς τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ.

23 ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, λέγει Κύριος παντοκράτωρ, λήψομαί σε Ζοροβάβελ τὸν τοῦ Σαλαθιήλ, τὸν δοῦλόν μου, λέγει Κύριος, καὶ θήσομαί σε ὡς σφραγῖδα, διότι σὲ ᾑρέτισα, λέγει Κύριος παντοκράτωρ.


 

 

    

 

    

       

HAGGAI
 

1

In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came by the hand of the prophet Aggaeus, saying, Speak to Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, of the tribe of Juda, and to Jesus the son of Josedec, the high priest, saying,

2 Thus saith the Lord Almighty, saying, This people say, The time is not come to build the house of the Lord.

3 And the word of the Lord came by the hand of the prophet Aggaeus, saying,

4 Is it time for you to dwell in your ceiled houses, whereas our house is desolate?

5 And now thus saith the Lord Almighty; Focus now your hearts on your ways.

6 Ye have sown much, but brought in little; ye have eaten, and are not satisfied; ye have drunk, and not unto drunkenness; ye have clothed yourselves, and have not become warm thereby: and he that earns wages has gathered them into a bag full of holes.

7 Thus saith the Lord Almighty; Set your hearts on your ways

8 Go up to the mountain, and cut timber; build the house, and I will take pleasure in it, and be glorified, saith the Lord.

9 Ye looked for much, and there came little; and it was brought into the house, and I blew it away. Therefore thus saith the Lord Almighty, Because my house is desolate, and ye run everyone into his own house;

 

10 therefore shall the sky withhold dew, and the earth shall keep back her produce.

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.

12 And Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, of the tribe of Juda, and Jesus the son of Josedec, the high priest, and all the remnant of the people, hearkened to the voice of the Lord their God, and the words of the prophet Aggaeus, according as the Lord their God had sent him to them, and the people feared before the Lord.

 

13 And Aggaeus the Lord’s messenger spoke among the messengers of the Lord to the people, saying, I am with you, saith the Lord.

14 And the Lord stirred up the spirit of Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, of the tribe of Juda, 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 the Lord Almighty their God,

15 on the four and twentieth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.

 

 2

In the seventh month, on the twenty-first day of the month, the Lord spoke by Aggaeus the prophet, saying,

2 Speak now to Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, of the tribe of Juda, and to Jesus the son of Josedec, the high priest, and to all the remnant of the people, saying,

 

3 Who is there of you that saw this house in her former glory? and how do ye now look upon it, as it were nothing before your eyes?

4 Yet now be strong, O Zorobabel, saith the Lord; and strengthen thyself, O Jesus the high priest, the son of Josedec; and let all the people of the land strengthen themselves, saith the Lord, and work, for I am with you, saith the Lord Almighty;

5 and my Spirit remains in the midst of you; be of good courage.

6 For thus saith the Lord Almighty; Yet once I will shake the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;

7 and I will shake all nations, and the choice portions of all the nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the Lord Almighty.

8 Mine is the silver, and mine the gold, saith the Lord Almighty.

9 For the glory of this house shall be great, the latter more than the former, saith the Lord Almighty: and in this place will I give peace, saith the Lord Almighty, even peace of soul for a possession to every one that builds, to raise up this temple.

 

10 On the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came to Aggaeus the prophet, saying,

11 Thus saith the Lord Almighty; Inquire now of the priest concerning the law, saying,

12 If a man should take holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and the skirt of his garment should touch bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any meat, shall it be holy? And the priests answered and said, No.

 

13 And Aggaeus said, If a defiled person who is unclean by reason of a dead body, touch any of these, shall it be defiled? And the priests answered and said, It shall be defiled.

14 And Aggaeus answered and said, So is this people, and so is this nation before me, saith the Lord; and so are all the works of their hands: and whosoever shall approach them, shall be defiled because of their early burdens: they shall be pained because of their toils; and ye have hated him that reproved in the gates.

 

15 And now do place it in your hearts from this day and beyond, before they laid a stone on a stone in the temple of the Lord,

16 what manner of men ye were. When ye cast into the corn-bin twenty measures of barley, and there were only ten measures of barley: and ye went to the vat to draw out fifty measures, and there were but twenty.

17 I smote you with barrenness, and with blasting, and all the works of your hands with hail; yet ye returned not to me, saith the Lord.

18 Subject now your hearts from this day forward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, even from the day when the foundation of the temple of the Lord was laid; place it in your hearts,

 

19  whether any thing shall be known on the cornfloor, and whether yet the vine, and the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive trees that bear no fruit will be known: from this day will I bless you.

20 And the word of the Lord came the second time to Aggaeus the prophet, on the four and twentieth day of the month, saying,

21 Speak to Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, of the tribe of Juda, saying, I shake the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;

22 and I will overthrow the thrones of kings, and I will destroy the power of the kings of the nations; and I will overthrow chariots and riders; and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword striving against his brother.

23 In that day, saith the Lord Almighty, I will take thee, O Zorobabel, the son of Salathiel, my servant, saith the Lord, and will make thee as a seal: for I have chosen thee, saith the Lord Almighty.
