Haggai 2
King James Version
2 In the seventh month, in the one and twentieth day of the month, came the word of the Lord by the prophet Haggai, saying,
2 Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and to the residue of the people, saying,
3 Who is left among you that saw this house in her first glory? and how do ye see it now? is it not in your eyes in comparison of it as nothing?
4 Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith the Lord; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, 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:
5 According to the word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt, so my spirit remaineth among you: fear ye not.
6 For 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;
7 And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the Lord of hosts.
8 The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the Lord of hosts.
9 The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the Lord of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the Lord of hosts.
10 In 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,
11 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Ask now the priests concerning the law, saying,
12 If one bear holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and with his skirt do touch bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any meat, shall it be holy? And the priests answered and said, No.
13 Then 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.
14 Then 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.
15 And now, I pray you, consider from this day and upward, from before a stone was laid upon a stone in the temple of the Lord:
16 Since those days were, when one came to an heap of twenty measures, there were but ten: when one came to the pressfat for to draw out fifty vessels out of the press, there were but twenty.
17 I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in all the labours of your hands; yet ye turned not to me, saith the Lord.
18 Consider now from this day and upward, 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.
19 Is the seed yet in the barn? yea, as yet the vine, and the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree, hath not brought forth: from this day will I bless you.
20 And again the word of the Lord came unto Haggai in the four and twentieth day of the month, saying,
21 Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will shake the heavens and the earth;
22 And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the heathen; 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.
23 In 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.
Hagai 2
Ang Biblia, 2001
Ang Kagandahan ng Templo
2 Nang ikadalawampu't isang araw ng ikapitong buwan, dumating ang salita ng Panginoon sa pamamagitan ni propeta Hagai, na sinasabi,
2 “Magsalita ka ngayon kay Zerubabel na anak ni Sealtiel, na gobernador ng Juda, at kay Josue na anak ni Jehozadak, na pinakapunong pari, at sa lahat ng nalabi sa bayan, at sabihin mo,
3 ‘Sino(A) ang naiwan sa inyo na nakakita sa bahay na ito sa kanyang dating kaluwalhatian? Ano ito ngayon sa tingin ninyo? Hindi ba walang kabuluhan sa inyong paningin?
4 Gayunma'y magpakalakas ka ngayon, O Zerubabel, sabi ng Panginoon; at magpakalakas ka, O Josue, na anak ni Jehozadak, na pinakapunong pari. Lakasan ninyo ang inyong loob, kayong sambayanan sa lupain, sabi ng Panginoon. Kayo'y magsigawa, sapagkat ako'y sumasainyo sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo,
5 ayon(B) sa pangako na aking sinabi sa inyo nang kayo'y lumabas sa Ehipto. Ang aking Espiritu ay naninirahan sa inyo. Huwag kayong matakot.
6 Sapagkat(C) ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo: Minsan pa, sa sandaling panahon, aking uugain ang langit at ang lupa, ang dagat at ang tuyong lupa.
7 Aking uugain ang lahat ng mga bansa upang ang kayamanan ng lahat ng mga bansa ay dumating, at aking pupunuin ang bahay na ito ng kaluwalhatian, sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo.
8 Akin ang pilak at akin ang ginto, sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo.
9 Ang susunod na kaluwalhatian ng bahay na ito ay magiging higit na dakila kaysa dati, sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo. Sa dakong ito ay magbibigay ako ng kapayapaan, sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo.’”
10 Nang ikadalawampu't apat na araw ng ikasiyam na buwan, nang ikalawang taon ni Dario, dumating ang salita ng Panginoon sa pamamagitan ni propeta Hagai, na sinasabi,
11 “Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo, Itanong ninyo ngayon sa mga pari upang pagpasiyahan ang katanungang ito:
12 ‘Kung ang isang tao ay may dalang itinalagang karne sa laylayan ng kanyang damit, ang kanyang laylayan ay makasagi ng tinapay, o nilaga, o alak, o langis, o anumang pagkain, nagiging banal ba ito?’” Sumagot ang mga pari, “Hindi.”
13 Nang(D) magkagayo'y sinabi ni Hagai, “Kung ang isang taong marumi dahil sa paghipo sa isang bangkay ay masagi ang alinman sa mga ito, nagiging marumi ba ito?” Sumagot ang mga pari, “Nagiging marumi iyon.”
14 Nang magkagayo'y sumagot si Hagai, at nagsabi, “Gayon ang bayang ito, at gayon ang bansang ito sa harap ko, sabi ng Panginoon. Gayon ang bawat gawa ng kanilang mga kamay, at ang kanilang inihahandog doon ay marumi.
15 Ngunit ngayon, inyong pakaisipin kung ano ang mangyayari mula sa araw na ito. Bago ipatong ang isang bato sa isa pang bato sa templo ng Panginoon,
16 mula sa panahong iyon, kapag ang isang tao ay lumalapit sa isang bunton ng dalawampung takal, magkakaroon ng sampu lamang; kapag ang isa ay lumalapit sa pigaan ng alak upang kumuha ng limampung sukat, may dalawampu lamang.
17 Sinalot ko kayo ng pagkalanta at ng amag at ng yelo sa lahat ng gawa ng inyong mga kamay; gayunma'y hindi kayo nanumbalik sa akin, sabi ng Panginoon.
18 Isaalang-alang mula sa araw na ito, mula sa ikadalawampu't apat na araw ng ikasiyam na buwan, mula nang araw na ilagay ang saligan ng templo ng Panginoon isaalang-alang ninyo.
19 Ang binhi ba'y nasa kamalig pa? O kahit ang puno ng ubas, ang puno ng igos, ang granada, at ang puno ng olibo ay wala pa ring bunga? Gayunman, mula sa araw na ito ay pagpapalain ko kayo.”
Ang Pangako ng Panginoon
20 At ang salita ng Panginoon ay dumating sa ikalawang pagkakataon kay Hagai nang ikadalawampu't apat na araw ng buwan, na sinasabi,
21 “Magsalita ka kay Zerubabel na gobernador ng Juda, at iyong sabihin, Aking uugain ang mga langit at ang lupa;
22 at aking ibabagsak ang trono ng mga kaharian, at aking sisirain ang lakas ng mga kaharian ng mga bansa; at ibubuwal ang mga karwahe at ang mga sumasakay sa mga iyon; at ang mga kabayo at ang mga sakay ng mga iyon ay mahuhulog, ang bawat isa sa pamamagitan ng tabak ng kanyang kasama.
23 Sa araw na iyon, sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo, kukunin kita, O Zerubabel, na aking lingkod, na anak ni Sealtiel, sabi ng Panginoon, at gagawin kitang gaya ng singsing na pantatak; sapagkat pinili kita, sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo.”
Haggai 2
English Standard Version
The Coming Glory of the Temple
2 (A)In the seventh month, on the twenty-first day of the month, the word of the Lord came by the hand of Haggai the prophet: 2 “Speak now to (B)Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to (C)Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to all the remnant of the people, and say, 3 (D)‘Who is left among you who saw this house (E)in its former glory? How do you see it now? (F)Is it not as nothing in your eyes? 4 Yet now (G)be strong, O (H)Zerubbabel, declares the Lord. (I)Be strong, O (J)Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest. (K)Be strong, all you people of the land, declares the Lord. (L)Work, for (M)I am with you, declares the Lord of hosts, 5 (N)according to the covenant that I made with you when you came out of Egypt. (O)My Spirit remains in your midst. (P)Fear not. 6 For thus says the Lord of hosts: (Q)Yet once more, in a little while, (R)I will shake the heavens and the earth and the sea and the dry land. 7 And I will shake all nations, so that the treasures of all nations shall come in, and (S)I will fill this house with glory, says the Lord of hosts. 8 (T)The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, declares the Lord of hosts. 9 (U)The latter glory of this house shall be greater than the former, says the Lord of hosts. And (V)in this place I will give peace, declares the Lord of hosts.’”
Blessings for a Defiled People
10 (W)On the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, (X)in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came by Haggai the prophet, 11 “Thus says the Lord of hosts: (Y)Ask the priests about the law: 12 ‘If someone carries (Z)holy meat in the fold of his garment and touches with his fold bread or stew or wine or oil or any kind of food, does it become holy?’” The priests answered and said, (AA)“No.” 13 Then Haggai said, (AB)“If someone who is unclean by contact with a dead body (AC)touches any of these, does it become unclean?” The priests answered and said, “It does become unclean.” 14 Then Haggai answered and said, (AD)“So is it with this people, and with this nation before me, declares the Lord, and so with every work of their hands. And what they offer there is unclean. 15 Now then, (AE)consider from this day onward.[a] Before stone was placed upon stone in the temple of the Lord, 16 how did you fare? (AF)When[b] one came to a heap of twenty measures, there were but ten. When one came to the wine vat to draw fifty measures, there were but twenty. 17 (AG)I struck you and all the products of your toil with blight and with mildew and with hail, (AH)yet you did not turn to me, declares the Lord. 18 (AI)Consider from this day onward, (AJ)from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month. Since (AK)the day that the foundation of the Lord's temple was laid, (AL)consider: 19 (AM)Is the seed yet in the barn? Indeed, the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree have yielded nothing. But from this day on (AN)I will bless you.”
Zerubbabel Chosen as a Signet
20 The word of the Lord came a second time to Haggai (AO)on the twenty-fourth day of the month, 21 “Speak to (AP)Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, (AQ)I am about to shake the heavens and the earth, 22 and (AR)to overthrow the throne of kingdoms. I am about to destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations, and (AS)overthrow the chariots and their riders. And the horses and their riders shall go down, (AT)every one by the sword of his brother. 23 On that day, declares the Lord of hosts, I will take you, O (AU)Zerubbabel (AV)my servant, the son of (AW)Shealtiel, declares the Lord, and make you (AX)like a[c] signet ring, (AY)for I have chosen you, declares the Lord of hosts.”
