Haggai 2
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1In the seventh month, in the one and twentieth day of the month, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying:
1Τ† μηνὶ τῷ ἑβδόμῳ, μιᾷ καὶ εἰκάδι τοῦ μηνός, ἐλάλησε Κύριος ἐν χειρὶ Ἀγγαίου τοῦ προφήτου λέγων·
2'Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the remnant of the people, saying:
2εἰπὸν δὴ πρὸς Ζοροβάβελ τὸν τοῦ Σαλαθιὴλ ἐκ φυλῆς Ἰούδα καὶ πρὸς Ἰησοῦν τοῦ Ἰωσεδὲκ τὸν ἱερέα τὸν μέγαν καὶ πρὸς πάντας τοὺς καταλοίπους τοῦ λαοῦ λέγων·
3Who is left among you that saw this house in its former glory? and how do ye see it now? is not such a one as nothing in your eyes?
3τίς ἐξ ὑμῶν, ὃς εἶδε τὸν οἶκον τοῦτον ἐν τῇ δόξῃ αὐτοῦ τῇ ἔμπροσθεν; καὶ πῶς ὑμεῖς βλέπετε αὐτὸν νῦν καθὼς οὐχ ὑπάρχοντα ἐνώπιον ὑμῶν;
4Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith the LORD; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest; and be strong, all ye people of the land, saith the LORD, and work; for I am with you, saith the LORD of hosts.
4καὶ νῦν κατίσχυε, Ζοροβάβελ, λέγει Κύριος, καὶ κατίσχυε, Ἰησοῦ ὁ τοῦ Ἰωσεδὲκ ὁ ἱερεὺς ὁ μέγας, καὶ κατισχυέτω πᾶς ὁ λαὸς τῆς γῆς, λέγει Κύριος, καὶ ποιεῖτε· διότι μεθ᾿ ὑμῶν ἐγώ εἰμι, λέγει Κύριος ὁ παντοκράτωρ,
5The word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt have I established, and My spirit abideth among you; fear ye not.
5καὶ τὸ πνεῦμά μου ἐφέστηκεν ἐν μέσῳ ὑμῶν· θαρσεῖτε,
6For thus saith the LORD of hosts: Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;
6διότι τάδε λέγει Κύριος παντοκράτωρ· ἔτι ἅπαξ ἐγὼ σείσω τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ τὴν θάλασσαν καὶ τὴν ξηράν·
7and I will shake all nations, and the choicest things of all nations shall come, and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts.
7καὶ συσσείσω πάντα τὰ ἔθνη, καὶ ἥξει τὰ ἐκλεκτὰ πάντων τῶν ἐθνῶν, καὶ πλήσω τὸν οἶκον τοῦτον δόξης, λέγει Κύριος παντοκράτωρ.
8Mine is the silver, and Mine the gold, saith the LORD of hosts.
8ἐμὸν τὸ ἀργύριον καὶ ἐμὸν τὸ χρυσίον, λέγει Κύριος παντοκράτωρ.
9The glory of this latter house shall be greater than that of the former, saith the LORD of hosts; and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts.'
9διότι 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.
10In the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying:
10Τετράδι καὶ εἰκάδι τοῦ ἐνάτου μηνός, ἔτους δευτέρου, ἐπὶ Δαρείου, ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς Ἀγγαῖον τὸν προφήτην λέγων·
11'Thus saith the LORD of hosts: Ask now the priests for instruction, saying:
11τάδε λέγει Κύριος παντοκράτωρ· ἐπερώτησον δὴ τοὺς ἱερεῖς νόμον λέγων·
12If one bear hallowed flesh in the skirt of his garment, and with his skirt do touch bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any food, shall it be holy?' And the priests answered and said: 'No.'
12ἐὰν 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.
13Then said Haggai: 'If one that is unclean by a dead body touch any of these, shall it be unclean?' And the priests answered and said: 'It shall be unclean.'
13καὶ εἶπεν Ἀγγαῖος· ἐὰν ἅψηται μεμιασμένος ἀκάθαρτος ἐπὶ ψυχῇ ἐπὶ παντὸς τούτων, εἰ μιανθήσεται; καὶ ἀπεκρίθησαν οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ εἶπαν· μιανθήσεται.
14Then answered Haggai, and said: 'So is this people, and so is this nation before me, saith the LORD; and so is every work of their hands; and that which they offer there is unclean.
14καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Ἀγγαῖος 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
15And now, I pray you, consider from this day and forward — before a stone was laid upon a stone in the temple of the LORD,
15καὶ νῦν θέσθε δὴ εἰς τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν ἀπὸ τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης καὶ ὑπεράνω πρὸ τοῦ θεῖναι λίθον ἐπὶ λίθον ἐν τῷ ναῷ Κυρίου,
16through all that time, when one came to a heap of twenty measures, there were but ten; when one came to the winevat to draw out fifty press-measures, there were but twenty;
16τίνες ᾖτε, ὅτε ἐνεβάλλετε εἰς κυψέλην κριθῆς εἴκοσι σάτα, καὶ ἐγένοντο κριθῆς δέκα σάτα· καὶ εἰσεπορεύεσθε εἰς τὸ ὑπολήνιον ἐξαντλῆσαι πεντήκοντα μετρητάς, καὶ ἐγένοντο εἴκοσι.
17I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in all the work of your hands; yet ye turned not to Me, saith the LORD —
17ἐπάταξα ὑμᾶς ἐν ἀφορίᾳ καὶ ἐν ἀνεμοφθορίᾳ καὶ ἐν χαλάζῃ πάντα τὰ ἔργα τῶν χειρῶν ὑμῶν, καὶ οὐκ ἐπεστρέψατε πρός με, λέγει Κύριος.
18consider, I pray you, from this day and forward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, even from the day that the foundation of the LORD'S temple was laid, consider it;
18ὑποτάξατε 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,
19is the seed yet in the barn? yea, the vine, and the fig-tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive-tree hath not brought forth — from this day will I bless you.'
19εἰ 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.
20And the word of the LORD came the second time unto Haggai in the four and twentieth day of the month, saying:
20Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου ἐκ δευτέρου πρὸς Ἀγγαῖον τὸν προφήτην τετράδι καὶ εἰκάδι τοῦ μηνὸς λέγων·
21'Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying: I will shake the heavens and the earth;
21εἰπὸν πρὸς Ζοροβάβελ τὸν τοῦ Σαλαθιὴλ ἐκ φυλῆς Ἰούδα λέγων· ἐγὼ σείω τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ τὴν θάλασσαν καὶ τὴν ξηρὰν
22and I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations; and I will overthrow the chariots, and those that ride in them; and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother.
22καὶ 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.
23In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, will I take thee, O Zerubbabel, My servant, the son of Shealtiel, saith the LORD, and will make thee as a signet; for I have chosen thee, saith the LORD of hosts.'
23ἐν 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.
