1In anno secundo Darii regis,In the second year of king Darius,in mense sexto,in the sixth month,in die una mensis,on the first day of the month,factum est verbum Domini in manu Aggæi prophetæ,the word of the Lord came, by the hand of Haggai the prophet,ad Zorobabel, filium Salathiel,to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel,ducem Juda,governor of Judah,et ad Jesum, filium Josedec,and to Jesus the son of Jehozadak,sacerdotem magnum,the high priest,dicens:saying:
2Hæc ait Dominus exercituum,Thus says the Lord of hosts, saying:dicens: Populus iste dicit: Nondum venit tempus domus Domini ædificandæ.This people claims that the time has not yet arrived for building the house of the Lord.

4Numquid tempus vobis est ut habitetis in domibus laqueatis,Is it time for you to dwell in paneled houses,et domus ista deserta?while this house is deserted?
5Et nunc hæc dicit Dominus exercituum:And now, thus says the Lord of hosts:Ponite corda vestra super vias vestras.Set your hearts upon your ways.
6Seminastis multum,You sowed muchet intulistis parum;and have brought in little.comedistis,You consumedet non estis satiati;and have not been satisfied.bibistis,You dranket non estis inebriati;and have not been inebriated.operuistis vos,You covered yourselveset non estis calefacti;and have not been warmed.et qui mercedes congregavit,And whoever gathered wages,misit eas in sacculum pertusum.has put them in a bag with holes.
7Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum:Thus says the Lord of hosts:Ponite corda vestra super vias vestras;Set your hearts upon your ways.
8ascendite in montem,Ascend to the mountain,portate ligna,bring woodet ædificate domum:and build the house,et acceptabilis mihi erit,and it shall be acceptable to me,et glorificabor,and I shall be glorified,dicit Dominus.says the Lord.
9Respexistis ad amplius,You have looked for more,et ecce factum est minus;and behold, it became less,et intulistis in domum,and you brought it home,et exsufflavi illud:and I blew it away.quam ob causam? dicit Dominus exercituum:What is the cause of this, says the Lord of hosts?quia domus mea deserta est,It is because my house is desolate,et vos festinatis unusquisque in domum suam.yet you have hurried, each one to his own house.
10Propter hoc super vos prohibiti sunt cæli ne darent rorem,Because of this, the heavens over you have been prohibited from giving dew,et terra prohibita est ne daret germen suum:and the earth has been prohibited from giving her sprouts.
11et vocavi siccitatem super terram,And I called a drought over the land,et super montes,and over the mountains,et super triticum,and over the wheat,et super vinum,and over the wine,et super oleum,and over the oil,et quæcumque profert humus,and whatever the soil would bring forth,et super homines,and over men,et super jumenta,and over beasts of burden,et super omnem laborem manuum.and over all the labor of hands.
12Et audivit Zorobabel,And Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel,filius Salathiel, et Jesus,and Jesus the son of Jehozadak,filius Josedec,the high priest,sacerdos magnus, et omnes reliquiæ populi, vocem Domini Dei sui,and all the remnant of the people heeded the voice of the Lord their God,et verba Aggæi prophetæ,and the words of Haggai the prophet,sicut misit eum Dominus Deus eorum ad eos, et timuit populus a facie Domini.just as the Lord their God sent him to them. And the people were fearful before the face of the Lord.
13Et dixit Aggæus, nuntius Domini de nuntiis Domini,And Haggai, a messenger of the Lord among messengers of the Lord,populo dicens:spoke to the people,Ego vobiscum sum,saying: the Lord says,dicit Dominus.“I am with you.”
14Et suscitavit Dominus spiritum Zorobabel, filii Salathiel,And the Lord stirred the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel,ducis Juda,governor of Judah,et spiritum Jesu, filii Josedec,and the spirit of Jesus the son of Jehozadak,sacerdotis magni,the high priest,et spiritum reliquorum de omni populo:and the spirit of the remainder of all the people.et ingressi sunt, et faciebant opus in domo Domini exercituum, Dei sui.And they entered and performed work in the house of the Lord of hosts their God.
