Young's Literal Translation
On
the twenty -
first day
of the seventh
month, the
word of the LORD
came
through
Haggai the prophet, saying:
In
the seventh
`month',
in
the
twenty and
first of the month, hath
a
word of Jehovah
been
by
the hand
of
Haggai the prophet, saying:
“
Speak to
Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to
Joshua son of Jehozadak
, the high priest, and also
to
the remnant of the people .
Ask
them
,
`
Speak ,
I
pray
thee,
unto
Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and unto
Joshua ,
son of Josedech
, the high priest, and unto
the remnant of the people, saying:
‘
Who is
left
among you who
saw this house in its former glory
? How
does
it look
to
you
now? Does
it not appear
to
you
like
nothing in comparison
? ’
Who among you hath
been
left
that
saw this house in its former honour
? And
what
are
ye
seeing
it now? Is
it not ,
compared
with
it,
as
nothing in your
eyes
?
But
now be strong, O Zerubbabel, declares
the
LORD.
Be strong, O Joshua son of Jehozadak
, the high priest .
And be strong, all you
people of the land, declares
the
LORD.
Work!
For I am with you, declares
the
LORD
of Hosts .
And
now ,
be strong, O Zerubbabel, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah,
And
be strong, O Joshua ,
son of Josedech
, the high priest ,
And be strong, all ye
people of the land, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah,
And
do
ye
--
(
for I `
am '
with you, An
affirmation
of Jehovah
of
Hosts )
--
This
is
the promise
I made
to
you
when
you came
out
of
Egypt .
And My Spirit remains
among
you;
do
not be
afraid
. ”
The thing
that
I covenanted
with
you ,
In
your
coming
forth
from
Egypt ,
And My Spirit is
remaining
in
your
midst,
fear
not.
For this
is
what
the
LORD
of Hosts says
: “
Once more ,
in
a little while
, I will
shake
the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land .
For thus
said
Jehovah
of Hosts: Yet
once more --
it
`is'
a little, And
I am
shaking
the heavens and the earth, And
the sea ,
and the dry land ,
I will
shake
all the nations, and they will
come with
all their
treasures
, and I will
fill
this house with glory
, says
the
LORD
of Hosts.
And
I have
shaken
all the nations, And they have
come `to'
the
desire
of
all the
nations
, And I have
filled
this house `
with '
honour
, Said
Jehovah
of Hosts.
The silver is
Mine
, and the gold is
Mine
, declares
the
LORD
of Hosts.
Mine
`is'
the silver, and Mine
the gold, An
affirmation
of Jehovah
of
Hosts.
The latter
glory
of this house will
be
greater
than the former, says
the
LORD
of Hosts .
And in this place I will
provide
peace, declares
the
LORD
of Hosts. ”
Greater
is
the honour
of this latter
house ,
Than of
the former, said
Jehovah
of Hosts ,
And in this place do
I give
peace, An
affirmation
of Jehovah
of
Hosts. '
On the twenty -
fourth day
of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, the
word of the LORD
came
to
Haggai the prophet, saying ,
On the twenty and
fourth of the ninth `
month '
, in the second year of Darius, hath
a
word of Jehovah
been
by
the hand
of
Haggai the prophet, saying :
“This
is
what
the
LORD
of Hosts says
: ‘
Ask the priests for
a
ruling.
Thus
said
Jehovah
of Hosts: `
Ask ,
I
pray
thee,
the priests `of'
the
law,
saying:
If
a
man
carries
consecrated
meat
in the fold
of his garment, and it
touches
bread, stew
, wine, oil, or any other
food ,
does
that
item
become
holy? ’”
“No,”
replied
the priests.
Lo,
one
doth
carry
holy
flesh
in the skirt
of his garment, and he
hath
come
with
his
skirt
against
the
bread, or
against
the
pottage
, or
against
the
wine, or
against
the
oil, or against
any food --
is
it
holy? '
And
the priests answer
and
say,
`No
. '
So
Haggai asked
, “
If one
who
is
defiled
by
contact
with
a
corpse
touches
any of these, does
it become
defiled
? ”
“Yes,
it
becomes
defiled,”
the priests answered
.
And
Haggai saith
, `
If the
unclean
of
body
doth
come
against
any of these, is
it unclean
? '
And
the priests answer
and
say,
`It
is
unclean
. '
Then
Haggai replied
, “
So it
is with
this people and this nation before Me ,
declares
the
LORD,
and so it
is with
every work of their hands ;
whatever
they offer
there is defiled
.
And
Haggai answereth
and
saith
, `
So `
is '
this people ,
and so
`is'
this nation before Me --
an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
--
and so `
is '
every work of their hands ,
and
that
which
they bring
near
there --
it
is unclean
.
Now consider
carefully
from this day forward:
Before one
stone was
placed
on
another
in the temple of the
LORD,
And
now ,
lay
`it',
I
pray
you,
to
your
heart,
From this day ,
and
onwards,
Before the
laying
of
stone to
stone
in the temple of Jehovah.
from that time ,
when
one came
expecting
a heap of twenty ephahs
of
grain
, there
were
but
ten .
When
one
came
to
the winepress
to draw out fifty baths
, there
were
but
twenty.
From that time `
one '
hath
come
to
a heap of twenty, And
it
hath
been
ten ,
He
hath
come
unto
the wine-fat
to draw out fifty purahs
, And
it
hath
been
twenty.
I struck
you —
all the work of your hands —with
blight
, mildew,
and hail,
but
you did
not
turn
to
Me, declares
the
LORD
.
I have
smitten
you with
blasting,
And
with
mildew,
and
with
hail
--
All the work of your hands, And there
is
none
of
you with
Me, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah
.
Consider
carefully
from this day forward—
from the twenty -
fourth day of the ninth month, the day the
foundation
of
the LORD’s
temple was
laid—consider
carefully:
Set
`it',
I
pray
you,
to
your
heart,
from this day and
onwards,
from the twenty and
fourth day of the ninth `
month '
, even
from
the day that
the temple of
Jehovah
hath
been
founded,
set
`it'
to
your
heart.
Is there
still
seed in the barn? The vine ,
the fig, the pomegranate, and the olive tree have not yet
yielded
fruit.
But
from this day on,
I will
bless you
. ”
Is the
seed yet
in the barn? And
hitherto
the vine and
the fig, And
the pomegranate, and the olive -
tree ,
Have not borne
--
from this day I bless. '
For
the
second time that
day
, the twenty -
fourth day
of the month, the
word
of
the
LORD
came
to
Haggai,
saying ,
And
there
is
a
word
of
Jehovah
a
second time unto
Haggai
, on
the twenty and
fourth of the month, saying :
“Tell
Zerubbabel governor of Judah that
I am about
to
shake
the heavens and the earth :
`Speak
unto
Zerubbabel governor of Judah ,
saying:
I am shaking
the heavens and the earth ,
I
will
overturn
royal
thrones
and destroy
the power
of the kingdoms of the nations .
I
will
overturn
chariots
and their
riders;
horses and their riders will
fall
, each by the sword of his brother.
And have
overturned
the throne
of kingdoms,
And
I
have
destroyed
the strength
of
kingdoms of the nations ,
And overturned
chariot
and
its
charioteers,
And
come
down
have
horses and their riders, Each by the sword of his brother.
On
that day ,
declares
the
LORD
of Hosts, I will
take you,
My
servant
, Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, declares
the
LORD
, and I
will
make
you
like
My
signet ring
, for I have chosen
you
, declares
the
LORD
of Hosts .”
In
that day --
an
affirmation
of Jehovah
of
Hosts, I take thee
, Zerubbabel ,
son of Shealtiel, My
servant
--
an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
, And have
set
thee
as
a
signet, for on
thee
I have fixed
, An
affirmation
of Jehovah
of
Hosts !
