Primer mensaje: Exhortación a reedificar el templo
1 El día primero del mes sexto del segundo año del rey Darío, vino palabra del Señor por medio del profeta Hageo a Zorobabel, hijo de Salatiel, gobernador de Judá, y al sumo sacerdote Josué, hijo de Josadac: 2 «Así dice el Señor de los Ejércitos: “Este pueblo afirma que todavía no ha llegado el tiempo para reconstruir el Templo del Señor”».
3 También vino esta palabra del Señor por medio del profeta Hageo: 4 «¿Acaso es el tiempo para vivir en casas lujosas, mientras esta casa está en ruinas?».
5 Así dice ahora el Señor de los Ejércitos: «¡Reflexionen sobre su proceder! 6 Ustedes siembran mucho, pero cosechan poco; comen, pero no quedan satisfechos; beben, pero no llegan a saciarse; se visten, pero no logran calentarse; y al jornalero se le va su salario como por saco roto».
7 Así dice el Señor de los Ejércitos: «¡Reflexionen sobre su proceder! 8 Vayan ustedes al monte, traigan madera y reconstruyan mi casa. Yo veré su reconstrucción con gusto, y manifestaré mi gloria —dice el Señor. 9 Ustedes esperan mucho, pero cosechan poco; lo que almacenan en su casa, yo lo disipo de un soplo. ¿Por qué? ¡Porque mi casa está en ruinas, mientras ustedes solo se ocupan de la suya!», afirma el Señor de los Ejércitos. 10 «Por eso, por culpa de ustedes, los cielos retuvieron el rocío y la tierra se negó a dar sus frutos. 11 Yo hice venir una sequía sobre los campos y las montañas, sobre el grano y el vino nuevo, sobre el aceite de oliva y el fruto de la tierra, sobre los animales, las personas y sobre toda la obra de sus manos».
12 Zorobabel, hijo de Salatiel, el sumo sacerdote Josué, hijo de Josadac, y todo el resto del pueblo obedecieron al Señor su Dios. Acataron las palabras del profeta Hageo, a quien el Señor su Dios había enviado. Y el pueblo sintió temor en la presencia del Señor. 13 Entonces Hageo, su mensajero, comunicó este mensaje del Señor al pueblo: «Yo estoy con ustedes. Yo, el Señor, lo afirmo». 14 Y el Señor inquietó el espíritu de Zorobabel, hijo de Salatiel, gobernador de Judá, y el del sumo sacerdote Josué, hijo de Josadac; también el espíritu del resto del pueblo. Así que vinieron y empezaron a trabajar en la casa de su Dios, el Señor de los Ejércitos. 15 Era el día veinticuatro del mes sexto del segundo año del rey Darío.

Haggai 1
World English Bible
1 In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, Yahweh’s[a] word came by Haggai the prophet, to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, saying, 2 “This is what Yahweh of Armies says: These people say, ‘The time hasn’t yet come, the time for Yahweh’s house to be built.’”
3 Then Yahweh’s word came by Haggai the prophet, saying, 4 “Is it a time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, while this house lies waste? 5 Now therefore this is what Yahweh of Armies says: ‘Consider your ways. 6 You have sown much, and bring in little. You eat, but you don’t have enough. You drink, but you aren’t filled with drink. You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm; and he who earns wages earns wages to put them into a bag with holes in it.’
7 “This is what Yahweh of Armies says: ‘Consider your ways. 8 Go up to the mountain, bring wood, and build the house. I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified,” says Yahweh. 9 “You looked for much, and, behold,[b] it came to little; and when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why?” says Yahweh of Armies, “Because of my house that lies waste, while each of you is busy with his own house. 10 Therefore for your sake the heavens withhold the dew, and the earth withholds its fruit. 11 I called for a drought on the land, on the mountains, on the grain, on the new wine, on the oil, on that which the ground produces, on men, on livestock, and on all the labor of the hands.”
12 Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed Yahweh their God’s[c] voice, and the words of Haggai the prophet, as Yahweh their God had sent him; and the people feared Yahweh.
13 Then Haggai, Yahweh’s messenger, spoke Yahweh’s message to the people, saying, “I am with you,” says Yahweh.
14 Yahweh stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and worked on the house of Yahweh of Armies, their God, 15 in the twenty-fourth day of the month, in the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.

Chapter 1
Prophetic Call to Work on the Temple. 1 On the first day of the sixth month in the second year[a] of Darius the king, the word of the Lord came through Haggai the prophet to the governor of Judah, Zerubbabel,(A) son of Shealtiel, and to the high priest Joshua, son of Jehozadak:(B) 2 Thus says the Lord of hosts: This people has said: “Now is not the time to rebuild the house of the Lord.”
3 Then the word of the Lord came through Haggai the prophet: 4 Is it time for you to dwell in your paneled houses while this house lies in ruins?[b](C)
5 Now thus says the Lord of hosts:
Reflect on your experience![c]
6 You have sown much, but have brought in little;
you have eaten, but have not been satisfied;(D)
You have drunk, but have not become intoxicated;
you have clothed yourselves, but have not been warmed;
And the hired worker labors for a bag full of holes.
7 Thus says the Lord of hosts:
Reflect on your experience!
8 Go up into the hill country;
bring timber, and build the house
that I may be pleased with it,
and that I may be glorified,[d] says the Lord.
9 You expected much, but it came to little;
and what you brought home, I blew away.
Why is this?—oracle of the Lord[e] of hosts—
Because my house is the one which lies in ruins,
while each of you runs to your own house.
10 Therefore, the heavens withheld the dew,
and the earth its yield.
11 And I have proclaimed a devastating heat[f]
upon the land and upon the mountains,
Upon the grain, the new wine, and the olive oil,
upon all that the ground brings forth;
Upon human being and beast alike,
and upon all they produce.
Response of Leaders and People. 12 Then Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, and the high priest Joshua, son of Jehozadak, and all the remnant of the people[g] obeyed the Lord their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet, since the Lord their God had sent him; thus the people feared the Lord. 13 Then Haggai, the messenger of the Lord, proclaimed to the people as the message of the Lord: I am with you!—oracle of the Lord.
14 And so the Lord stirred up the spirit of the governor of Judah, Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, and the spirit of the high priest Joshua, son of Jehozadak, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people,(E) so that they came to do the work in the house of the Lord of hosts, their God, 15 on the twenty-fourth day of the sixth month in the second year[h] of Darius the king.
Footnotes
- 1:1 First day of the sixth month in the second year: August 29, 520 B.C. This is the first of six chronological indicators in Haggai. Darius: Darius I, emperor of Persia from 522 to 486 B.C. Governor: term used for local rulers of provinces in the Persian imperial structure. Zerubbabel: grandson of King Jehoiachin (cf. 2 Kgs 24:8–17).
- 1:4 Your paneled houses…house lies in ruins: the contrast here is between the unfinished Temple and the completed houses of the Judeans.
- 1:5 Reflect on your experience: the prophet exhorts the people to consider the futility of their efforts as a result of their neglecting work on the Temple. The following verses call attention to harsh conditions in Judah after the return from exile and the preoccupation of the people with their personal concerns.
- 1:8 That I may be glorified: for the prophet, the rebuilding of the Temple restores the glory God had lost in the eyes of the nations by the Temple’s destruction.
- 1:9 Oracle of the Lord: a phrase used extensively in prophetic books to indicate divine speech.
- 1:11 Devastating heat: this pronouncement of natural disaster, which functions as a warning to the people for their failure to rebuild the Temple, concludes the opening oracular section of Haggai.
- 1:12 The remnant of the people: here the phrase appears to refer to the prophet’s audience, but the “remnant” theme, though often in different Hebrew terminology, suggesting especially those whom the Lord will call back from exile and re-establish as his people, is important in the prophets (cf. Is 4:3; 37:31–32; Jl 3:5; Mi 4:7; Ob 17) and in the New Testament (cf. Rom 11:1–10).
- 1:15 Twenty-fourth day of the sixth month in the second year: September 21, 520 B.C. The resumption of work on the Temple occurred twenty-three days from the beginning of Haggai’s prophecy. This date formula repeats in reverse order the formula of v. 1, thereby bringing to conclusion chap. 1; it also initiates the next unit in 2:1.
