Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1In the seventh month, in the twenty-first day of the month, the LORD’s word came 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·
3‘Who is left among you who saw this house in its former glory? How do you see it now? Isn’t it in your eyes as nothing?
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, Zerubbabel,’ says the LORD. ‘Be strong, Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest. Be strong, all you people of the land,’ says the LORD, ‘and work, for I am with you,’ says the LORD of Armies.
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,
5This is the word that I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt, and my Spirit lived among you. ‘Don’t be afraid.’
5καὶ τὸ πνεῦμά μου ἐφέστηκεν ἐν μέσῳ ὑμῶν· θαρσεῖτε,
6For this is what the LORD of Armies says: ‘Yet once more, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, the earth, 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. The treasure of all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory, says the LORD of Armies.
7καὶ συσσείσω πάντα τὰ ἔθνη, καὶ ἥξει τὰ ἐκλεκτὰ πάντων τῶν ἐθνῶν, καὶ πλήσω τὸν οἶκον τοῦτον δόξης, λέγει Κύριος παντοκράτωρ.
8The silver is mine, and the gold is mine,’ says the LORD of Armies.
8ἐμὸν τὸ ἀργύριον καὶ ἐμὸν τὸ χρυσίον, λέγει Κύριος παντοκράτωρ.
9‘The latter glory of this house will be greater than the former,’ says the LORD of Armies; ‘and in this place I will give peace,’ says the LORD of Armies.”
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 twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, the LORD’s word came by Haggai the prophet, saying,
10Τετράδι καὶ εἰκάδι τοῦ ἐνάτου μηνός, ἔτους δευτέρου, ἐπὶ Δαρείου, ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς Ἀγγαῖον τὸν προφήτην λέγων·
11“The LORD of Armies says: Ask now the priests concerning the law, saying,
11τάδε λέγει Κύριος παντοκράτωρ· ἐπερώτησον δὴ τοὺς ἱερεῖς νόμον λέγων·
12‘If someone carries holy meat in the fold of his garment, and with his fold touches bread, stew, wine, oil, or any food, will it become holy?’” The priests answered, “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 Haggai said, “If one who is unclean by reason of a dead body touches any of these, will it be unclean?” The priests answered, “It will be unclean.”
13καὶ εἶπεν Ἀγγαῖος· ἐὰν ἅψηται μεμιασμένος ἀκάθαρτος ἐπὶ ψυχῇ ἐπὶ παντὸς τούτων, εἰ μιανθήσεται; καὶ ἀπεκρίθησαν οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ εἶπαν· μιανθήσεται.
14Then Haggai answered, “‘So is this people, and so is this nation before me,’ says the LORD; ‘and so is every work of their hands. 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
15Now, please consider from this day and backward, before a stone was laid on a stone in the LORD’s temple.
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 only ten. When one came to the wine vat to draw out fifty, there were only 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 struck you with blight, mildew, and hail in all the work of your hands; yet you didn’t turn to me,’ says 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.
18‘Consider, please, from this day and backward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, since 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? Yes, the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree haven’t produced. From today I will 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.
20The LORD’s word came the second time to Haggai in the twenty-fourth 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
22I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms. I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations. I will overthrow the chariots and those who ride in them. The horses and their riders will come down, everyone 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, says the LORD of Armies, I will take you, Zerubbabel my servant, the son of Shealtiel,’ says the LORD, ‘and will make you like a signet ring, for I have chosen you,’ says the LORD of Armies.”
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.
