1 τῷ ἑβδόμῳ μηνὶ μιᾷ καὶ εἰκάδι τοῦ μηνὸς ἐλάλησεν κύριος ἐν χειρὶ Αγγαιου τοῦ προφήτου λέγων 2 εἰπὸν δὴ πρὸς Ζοροβαβελ τὸν τοῦ Σαλαθιηλ ἐκ φυλῆς Ιουδα καὶ πρὸς Ἰησοῦν τὸν τοῦ Ιωσεδεκ τὸν ἱερέα τὸν μέγαν καὶ πρὸς πάντας τοὺς καταλοίπους τοῦ λαοῦ λέγων 3 τίς ἐξ ὑμῶν ὃς εἶδεν τὸν οἶκον τοῦτον ἐν τῇ δόξῃ αὐτοῦ τῇ ἔμπροσθεν καὶ πῶς ὑμεῖς βλέπετε αὐτὸν νῦν καθὼς οὐχ ὑπάρχοντα ἐνώπιον ὑμῶν 4 καὶ νῦν κατίσχυε Ζοροβαβελ λέγει κύριος καὶ κατίσχυε Ἰησοῦ ὁ τοῦ Ιωσεδεκ ὁ ἱερεὺς ὁ μέγας καὶ κατισχυέτω πᾶς ὁ λαὸς τῆς γῆς λέγει κύριος καὶ ποιεῖτε διότι μεθ' ὑμῶν ἐγώ εἰμι λέγει κύριος παντοκράτωρ 5 καὶ τὸ πνεῦμά μου ἐφέστηκεν ἐν μέσῳ ὑμῶν θαρσεῖτε 6 διότι τάδε λέγει κύριος παντοκράτωρ ἔτι ἅπαξ ἐγὼ σείσω τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ τὴν θάλασσαν καὶ τὴν ξηράν 7 καὶ συσσείσω πάντα τὰ ἔθνη καὶ ἥξει τὰ ἐκλεκτὰ πάντων τῶν ἐθνῶν καὶ πλήσω τὸν οἶκον τοῦτον δόξης λέγει κύριος παντοκράτωρ 8 ἐμὸν τὸ ἀργύριον καὶ ἐμὸν τὸ χρυσίον λέγει κύριος παντοκράτωρ 9 διότι 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

1 And in the seventh month, the word of the Lord came by the hand of Aggeus the prophet, saying: 2 Speak to Zorobabel the son of Salathiel the governor of Juda, and to Jesus the son of Josedec the high priest, and to the rest of the people, saying: 3 Who is left among you, that saw this house in its first glory? And how do you see it now? Is it not in comparison to that as nothing in your eyes? 4 Yet now take courage, O Zorobabel, says the Lord, and take courage, Jesus the son of Josedec the high priest, and take courage, all you people of the land, says the Lord of hosts: and perform (for I am with you, says the Lord of hosts) 5 the word that I covenanted with you when you came out of the land of Egypt: and my spirit shall be in the midst of you: fear not. 6 For thus says the Lord of hosts: Yet one little while, and I will move the heaven and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land. 7 And I will move all nations, and the desired of all nations shall come, and I will fill this house with glory, says the Lord of hosts. 8 The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, says the Lord of hosts. 9 Great shall be the glory of this last house more than of the first, says the Lord of hosts: and in this place I will give peace, says the Lord of hosts.

1 In septimo mense, vigesima et prima mensis, factum est verbum Domini in manu Aggæi prophetæ, dicens: 2 Loquere ad Zorobabel, filium Salathiel, ducem Juda, et ad Jesum, filium Josedec, sacerdotem magnum, et ad reliquos populi, dicens: 3 Quis in vobis est derelictus, qui vidit domum istam in gloria sua prima? et quid vos videtis hanc nunc? numquid non ita est, quasi non sit in oculis vestris? 4 Et nunc confortare, Zorobabel, dicit Dominus; et confortare, Jesu, fili Josedec, sacerdos magne; et confortare, omnis populus terræ, dicit Dominus exercituum : et facite (quoniam ego vobiscum sum, dicit Dominus exercituum) 5 verbum quod pepigi vobiscum cum egrederemini de terra Ægypti : et spiritus meus erit in medio vestrum : nolite timere. 6 Quia hæc dicit Dominus exercituum : Adhuc unum modicum est, et ego commovebo cælum, et terram, et mare, et aridam. 7 Et movebo omnes gentes, et veniet desideratus cunctis gentibus : et implebo domum istam gloria, dicit Dominus exercituum. 8 Meum est argentum, et meum est aurum, dicit Dominus exercituum. 9 Magna erit gloria domus istius novissimæ plus quam primæ, dicit Dominus exercituum : et in loco isto dabo pacem, dicit Dominus exercituum.

10 τετράδι καὶ εἰκάδι τοῦ ἐνάτου μηνὸς ἔτους δευτέρου ἐπὶ Δαρείου ἐγένετο λόγος κυρίου πρὸς Αγγαιον τὸν προφήτην λέγων 11 τάδε λέγει κύριος παντοκράτωρ ἐπερώτησον τοὺς ἱερεῖς νόμον λέγων 12 ἐὰν λάβῃ ἄνθρωπος κρέας ἅγιον ἐν τῷ ἄκρῳ τοῦ ἱματίου αὐτοῦ καὶ ἅψηται τὸ ἄκρον τοῦ ἱματίου αὐτοῦ ἄρτου ἢ ἑψέματος ἢ οἴνου ἢ ἐλαίου ἢ παντὸς βρώματος εἰ ἁγιασθήσεται καὶ ἀπεκρίθησαν οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ εἶπαν οὔ 13 καὶ εἶπεν Αγγαιος ἐὰν ἅψηται μεμιαμμένος ἐπὶ ψυχῇ ἀπὸ παντὸς τούτων εἰ μιανθήσεται καὶ ἀπεκρίθησαν οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ εἶπαν μιανθήσεται 14 καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Αγγαιος 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 15 καὶ νῦν θέσθε δὴ εἰς τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν ἀπὸ τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης καὶ ὑπεράνω πρὸ τοῦ θεῖναι λίθον ἐπὶ λίθον ἐν τῷ ναῷ κυρίου 16 τίνες ἦτε ὅτε ἐνεβάλλετε εἰς κυψέλην κριθῆς εἴκοσι σάτα καὶ ἐγένετο κριθῆς δέκα σάτα καὶ εἰσεπορεύεσθε εἰς τὸ ὑπολήνιον ἐξαντλῆσαι πεντήκοντα μετρητάς καὶ ἐγένοντο εἴκοσι 17 ἐπάταξα ὑμᾶς ἐν ἀφορίᾳ καὶ ἐν ἀνεμοφθορίᾳ καὶ ἐν χαλάζῃ πάντα τὰ ἔργα τῶν χειρῶν ὑμῶν καὶ οὐκ ἐπεστρέψατε πρός με λέγει κύριος 18 ὑποτάξατε δὴ τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν ἀπὸ τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης καὶ ἐπέκεινα ἀπὸ τῆς τετράδος καὶ εἰκάδος τοῦ ἐνάτου μηνὸς καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς ἡμέρας ἧς ἐθεμελιώθη ὁ ναὸς κυρίου θέσθε ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις ὑμῶν 19 εἰ ἔτι ἐπιγνωσθήσεται ἐπὶ τῆς ἅλω καὶ εἰ ἔτι ἡ ἄμπελος καὶ ἡ συκῆ καὶ ἡ ῥόα καὶ τὰ ξύλα τῆς ἐλαίας τὰ οὐ φέροντα καρπόν ἀπὸ τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης εὐλογήσω

10 In the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius the king, the word of the Lord came to Aggeus the prophet, saying: 11 Thus says the Lord of hosts: Ask the priests the law, saying: 12 If a man carry sanctified flesh in the skirt of his garment, and touch with his skirt, bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any meat: shall it be sanctified? And the priests answered, and said: No. 13 And Aggeus said: If one that is unclean by occasion of a soul touch any of all these things, shall it be defiled? And the priests answered, and said: It shall be defiled. 14 And Aggeus answered, and said: So is this people, and so is this nation before my face, says the Lord, and so is all the work of their hands: and all that they have offered there, shall be defiled. 15 And now consider in your hearts, from this day and upward, before there was a stone laid upon a stone in the temple of the Lord. 16 When you went to a heap of twenty bushels, and they became ten: and you went into the press, to press out fifty vessels, and they became twenty. 17 I struck you with a blasting wind, and all the works of your hand with the mildew and with hail, yet there was none among you that returned to me, says the Lord. 18 Set your hearts from this day, and henceforward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month: from the day that the foundations of the temple of the Lord were laid, and lay it up in your hearts. 19 Is the seed as yet sprung up? Or has the vine, and the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree as yet flourished? From this day I will bless you.

10 In vigesima et quarta noni mensis, in anno secundo Darii regis, factum est verbum Domini ad Aggæum prophetam, dicens: 11 Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum : Interroga sacerdotes legem, dicens: 12 Si tulerit homo carnem sanctificatam in ora vestimenti sui, et tetigerit de summitate ejus panem, aut pulmentum, aut vinum, aut oleum, aut omnem cibum, numquid sanctificabitur? Respondentes autem sacerdotes, dixerunt : Non. 13 Et dixit Aggæus : Si tetigerit pollutus in anima ex omnibus his, numquid contaminabitur? Et responderunt sacerdotes, et dixerunt : Contaminabitur. 14 Et respondit Aggæus, et dixit : Sic populus iste, et sic gens ista ante faciem meam, dicit Dominus, et sic omne opus manuum eorum : et omnia quæ obtulerunt ibi, contaminata erunt. 15 Et nunc ponite corda vestra a die hac et supra, antequam poneretur lapis super lapidem in templo Domini. 16 Cum accederetis ad acervum viginti modiorum, et fierent decem; et intraretis ad torcular, ut exprimeretis quinquaginta lagenas, et fiebant viginti. 17 Percussi vos vento urente, et aurugine, et grandine omnia opera manuum vestrarum : et non fuit in vobis qui reverteretur ad me, dicit Dominus. 18 Ponite corda vestra ex die ista, et in futurum, a die vigesima et quarta noni mensis : a die qua fundamenta jacta sunt templi Domini, ponite super cor vestrum. 19 Numquid jam semen in germine est, et adhuc vinea, et ficus, et malogranatum, et lignum olivæ non floruit? ex die ista benedicam.

By occasion of a soul... That is, by having touched the dead; in which case, according to the prescription of the law (Numbers 19:13, 19:22), a person not only became unclean himself, but made every thing that he touched unclean. The prophet applies all this to the people, whose souls remained unclean by neglecting the temple of God; and therefore were not sanctified by the flesh they offered in sacrifice: but rather defiled their sacrifices by approaching to them in the state of uncleanness. Commentary on the Old Testament (1752)

20 καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος κυρίου ἐκ δευτέρου πρὸς Αγγαιον τὸν προφήτην τετράδι καὶ εἰκάδι τοῦ μηνὸς λέγων 21 εἰπὸν πρὸς Ζοροβαβελ τὸν τοῦ Σαλαθιηλ ἐκ φυλῆς Ιουδα λέγων ἐγὼ σείω τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ τὴν θάλασσαν καὶ τὴν ξηρὰν 22 καὶ καταστρέψω θρόνους βασιλέων καὶ ὀλεθρεύσω δύναμιν βασιλέων τῶν ἐθνῶν καὶ καταστρέψω ἅρματα καὶ ἀναβάτας καὶ καταβήσονται ἵπποι καὶ ἀναβάται αὐτῶν ἕκαστος ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ πρὸς τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ 23 ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ λέγει κύριος παντοκράτωρ λήμψομαί σε Ζοροβαβελ τὸν τοῦ Σαλαθιηλ τὸν δοῦλόν μου λέγει κύριος καὶ θήσομαί σε ὡς σφραγῖδα διότι σὲ ᾑρέτισα λέγει κύριος παντοκράτωρ

20 And the word of the Lord came a second time to Aggeus in the four and twentieth day of the month, saying: 21 Speak to Zorobabel the governor of Juda, saying: I will move both heaven and earth. 22 And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and will destroy the strength of the kingdom of the Gentiles: and I will overthrow the chariot, and him that rides therein: and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother. 23 In that day, says the Lord of hosts, I will take you, O Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, my servant, says the Lord, and will make you as a signet, for I have chosen you, says the Lord of hosts.

20 Et factum est verbum Domini secundo ad Aggæum in vigesima et quarta mensis, dicens: 21 Loquere ad Zorobabel ducem Juda, dicens : Ego movebo cælum pariter et terram, 22 et subvertam solium regnorum, et conteram fortitudinem regni gentium : et subvertam quadrigam et ascensorem ejus, et descendent equi, et ascensores eorum, vir in gladio fratris sui. 23 In die illa, dicit Dominus exercituum, assumam te, Zorobabel, fili Salathiel, serve meus, dicit Dominus : et ponam te quasi signaculum, quia te elegi, dicit Dominus exercituum.

O Zorobabel... This promise principally relates to Christ, who was of the race of Zorobabel. Commentary on the Old Testament (1752)
