1. In the second H8147 year H8141 of Darius H1867 the king H4428 , in the sixth H8345 month H2320 , in the first H259 day H3117 of the month H2320 , came H1961 the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 by H3027 Haggai H2292 the prophet H5030 unto H413 Zerubbabel H2216 the son H1121 of Shealtiel H7597 , governor H6346 of Judah H3063 , and to H413 Joshua H3091 the son H1121 of Josedech H3087 , the high H1419 priest H3548 , saying H559 ,
|
|
2. Thus spake Jehovah of Hosts, saying: This people! -- they have said, `The time hath not come, The time the house of Jehovah is to be built.`
|
2. Thus H3541 speaketh H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 , saying H559 , This H2088 people H5971 say H559 , The time H6256 is not H3808 come H935 , the time H6256 that the LORD H3068 's house H1004 should be built H1129 .
|
|
3. And there is a word of Jehovah by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying:
|
3. Then came H1961 the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 by H3027 Haggai H2292 the prophet H5030 , saying H559 ,
|
|
4. Is it time for you -- you! To dwell in your covered houses, And this house to lie waste?
|
4. Is it time H6256 for you , O ye H859 , to dwell H3427 in your ceiled H5603 houses H1004 , and this H2088 house H1004 lie waste H2720 ?
|
|
5. And now, thus said Jehovah of Hosts, Set your heart to your ways.
|
5. Now H6258 therefore thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 ; Consider H7760 H3824 H5921 your ways H1870 .
|
|
6. Ye have sown much, and brought in little, To eat, and not to satiety, To drink, and not to drunkenness, To clothe, and none hath heat, And he who is hiring himself out, Is hiring himself for a bag pierced through.
|
6. Ye have sown H2232 much H7235 , and bring in H935 little H4592 ; ye eat H398 , but ye have not enough H369 H7646 ; ye drink H8354 , but ye are not filled with drink H369 H7937 ; ye clothe H3847 you , but there is none warm H369 H2552 ; and he that earneth wages H7936 earneth wages H7936 to put it into H413 a bag H6872 with holes H5344 .
|
|
7. Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Set your heart to your ways.
|
7. Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 ; Consider H7760 H3824 H5921 your ways H1870 .
|
|
8. Go up the mountain, and ye have brought in wood, And build the house, and I am pleased with it. And I am honoured, said Jehovah.
|
8. Go up H5927 to the mountain H2022 , and bring H935 wood H6086 , and build H1129 the house H1004 ; and I will take pleasure H7521 in it , and I will be glorified H3513 , saith H559 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
9. Looking for much, and lo, little, And ye brought it home, and I blew on it, Wherefore? -- an affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, Because of My house that is waste, And ye are running -- each to his house,
|
9. Ye looked H6437 for H413 much H7235 , and, lo H2009 , it came to little H4592 ; and when ye brought H935 it home H1004 , I did blow H5301 upon it. Why H3282 H4100 ? saith H5002 the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 . Because H3282 of mine house H1004 that H834 is waste H2720 , and ye H859 run H7323 every man H376 unto his own house H1004 .
|
|
10. Therefore, over you refrained have the heavens from dew, And the land hath refrained its increase.
|
10. Therefore H5921 H3651 the heaven H8064 over H5921 you is stayed H3607 from dew H4480 H2919 , and the earth H776 is stayed H3607 from her fruit H2981 .
|
|
11. And I proclaim draught on the land, And on the mountains, and on the corn, And on the new wine, and on the oil, And on what the ground doth bring forth, And on man, and on beast, And on all labour of the hands.`
|
11. And I called H7121 for a drought H2721 upon H5921 the land H776 , and upon H5921 the mountains H2022 , and upon H5921 the corn H1715 , and upon H5921 the new wine H8492 , and upon H5921 the oil H3323 , and upon H5921 that which H834 the ground H127 bringeth forth H3318 , and upon H5921 men H120 , and upon H5921 cattle H929 , and upon H5921 all H3605 the labor H3018 of the hands H3709 .
|
|
12. And Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and Joshua son of Josedech, the high priest, and all the remnant of the people, do hearken to the voice of Jehovah their God, and unto the words of Haggai the prophet, as Jehovah their God had sent him, and the people are afraid of the face of Jehovah.
|
12. Then Zerubbabel H2216 the son H1121 of Shealtiel H7597 , and Joshua H3091 the son H1121 of Josedech H3087 , the high H1419 priest H3548 , with all H3605 the remnant H7611 of the people H5971 , obeyed H8085 the voice H6963 of the LORD H3068 their God H430 , and the words H1697 of Haggai H2292 the prophet H5030 , as H834 the LORD H3068 their God H430 had sent H7971 him , and the people H5971 did fear H3372 before H4480 H6440 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
13. And Haggai, messenger of Jehovah, in messages of Jehovah, speaketh to the people, saying: `I am with you, an affirmation of Jehovah.`
|
13. Then spoke H559 Haggai H2292 the LORD H3068 's messenger H4397 in the LORD H3068 's message H4400 unto the people H5971 , saying H559 , I H589 am with H854 you, saith H5002 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
14. And Jehovah doth stir up the spirit of Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua son of Josedech, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people, and they come in, and do work in the house of Jehovah of Hosts their God,
|
14. And the LORD H3068 stirred up H5782 H853 the spirit H7307 of Zerubbabel H2216 the son H1121 of Shealtiel H7597 , governor H6346 of Judah H3063 , and the spirit H7307 of Joshua H3091 the son H1121 of Josedech H3087 , the high H1419 priest H3548 , and the spirit H7307 of all H3605 the remnant H7611 of the people H5971 ; and they came H935 and did H6213 work H4399 in the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 , their God H430 ,
|
|
15. in the twenty and fourth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.
|
15. In the four H702 and twentieth H6242 day H3117 of the sixth H8345 month H2320 , in the second H8147 year H8141 of Darius H1867 the king H4428 .
