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.”

The Builders Encouraged

2 On the twenty-first of the seventh month, the word of the Lord came by (A)Haggai the prophet, saying, 2 “Speak now to (B)Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, (C)governor of Judah, and to (D)Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the (E)remnant of the people, saying, 3 ‘Who is (F)left among you who saw this [a]temple in its (G)former glory? And how do you see it now? [b]Does it not seem to you like nothing [c]in comparison? 4 But now [d](H)take courage, Zerubbabel,’ declares the Lord, ‘take courage also, Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and all you people of the land take courage,’ declares the Lord, ‘and work; for (I)I am with you,’ declares the Lord of armies. 5 ‘As for the [e](J)promise which I [f]made you when you came out of Egypt, [g]My (K)Spirit remains in your midst; (L)do not fear!’ 6 For this is what the Lord of armies says: ‘(M)Once more [h]in a (N)little while, I am going to (O)shake the heavens and the earth, the sea also and the dry land. 7 I will shake (P)all the nations; and [i]they will come with the (Q)wealth of all nations, and I will (R)fill this house with glory,’ says the Lord of armies. 8 ‘The (S)silver is Mine and the gold is Mine,’ declares the Lord of armies. 9 ‘The latter (T)glory of this house will be greater than the (U)former,’ says the Lord of armies, ‘and in this place I will give (V)peace,’ declares the Lord of armies.”

10 On the (W)twenty-fourth of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came to Haggai the prophet, saying, 11 “The Lord of armies says this: ‘(X)Now ask the priests for a [j]ruling: 12 If someone carries (Y)holy meat in the [k]fold of his garment, and touches bread with [l]this fold, or touches cooked food, wine, oil, or any other food, will it become holy?’” And the priests answered, “No.” 13 Then Haggai said, “(Z)If one who is unclean from a [m]corpse touches any of these things, will the latter become unclean?” And the priests answered, “It will become unclean.” 14 Then Haggai responded and said, “‘(AA)So is this people. And so is this nation before Me,’ declares the Lord, ‘and so is every work of their hands; and what they offer there is unclean. 15 But now, do [n](AB)consider from this day [o]onward: before one (AC)stone was placed on another in the temple of the Lord, 16 [p]from that time when one came to a grain heap of twenty measures, there would be only ten; and when one came to the wine vat to draw fifty [q]measures, there would be only twenty. 17 I struck you and every work of your hands with (AD)scorching wind, mildew, and hail; [r]yet you did not come back to Me,’ declares the Lord. 18 ‘Do [s](AE)consider from this day [t]onward, from the (AF)twenty-fourth day of the ninth month; from the day when the temple of the Lord was (AG)founded, [u]consider: 19 Is the seed still in the barn? Even including the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree, it has not produced fruit. Yet from this day on I will (AH)bless you.’”

20 Then the word of the Lord came a second time to Haggai on the (AI)twenty-fourth day of the month, saying, 21 “Speak to (AJ)Zerubbabel governor of Judah, saying, ‘I am going to (AK)shake the heavens and the earth. 22 And I will (AL)overthrow the thrones of kingdoms and destroy the (AM)power of the kingdoms of the [v]nations; and I will (AN)overthrow the chariots and their riders, and the (AO)horses and their riders will go down, (AP)every one by the sword of another.’ 23 ‘On that day,’ declares the Lord of armies, ‘I will take you, Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, My servant,’ declares the Lord, ‘and I will make you like a [w](AQ)signet ring, for (AR)I have chosen you,’” declares the Lord of armies.

Ageu 2
Nova Versão Transformadora

O esplendor menor do novo templo

2 Então, em 17 de outubro desse mesmo ano,[a] o Senhor transmitiu outra mensagem por meio do profeta Ageu: 2 “Diga ao governador de Judá, Zorobabel, filho de Sealtiel, e ao sumo sacerdote Josué, filho de Jeozadaque, e ao remanescente do povo: 3 ‘Algum de vocês se lembra deste templo em sua antiga glória? Como ele lhes parece agora, em comparação com o anterior? Deve parecer insignificante! 4 Mas assim diz o Senhor: Seja forte, Zorobabel! Seja forte, sumo sacerdote Josué, filho de Jeozadaque! Sejam fortes, todos vocês que restam na terra! Mãos à obra, pois eu estou com vocês, diz o Senhor dos Exércitos. 5 Meu Espírito habita em seu meio, como prometi quando vocês saíram do Egito. Portanto, não tenham medo’.

6 “Pois assim diz o Senhor dos Exércitos: Em pouco tempo sacudirei novamente os céus e a terra, os mares e a terra seca. 7 Sacudirei todas as nações, e os tesouros das nações virão para este templo. Encherei este lugar de glória, diz o Senhor dos Exércitos. 8 A prata e o ouro me pertencem, diz o Senhor dos Exércitos. 9 A glória deste novo templo será maior que a glória do antigo, diz o Senhor dos Exércitos, e neste lugar estabelecerei a paz. Eu, o Senhor dos Exércitos, falei!”.

Bênçãos prometidas aos obedientes

10 Em 18 de dezembro[b] do segundo ano do reinado de Dario, o Senhor enviou esta mensagem ao profeta Ageu: 11 “Assim diz o Senhor dos Exércitos. Pergunte aos sacerdotes sobre a lei: 12 ‘Se alguém levar em sua roupa a carne consagrada de um sacrifício, e se, por acaso, a roupa tocar num pão, num ensopado, em vinho, em azeite ou em qualquer outro tipo de alimento, esse alimento também se tornará consagrado?’”.

“Não”, responderam os sacerdotes.

13 Em seguida, Ageu perguntou: “Se alguém se tornar cerimonialmente impuro ao tocar num cadáver e depois tocar num desses alimentos, o alimento ficará contaminado?”.

“Sim”, responderam os sacerdotes.

14 Então Ageu disse: “É o que acontece com este povo e com esta nação, diz o Senhor. Tudo que fazem e oferecem é contaminado por seu pecado. 15 Vejam o que estava acontecendo com vocês antes de começarem a lançar os alicerces do templo do Senhor. 16 Quando esperavam uma colheita de vinte medidas, colhiam apenas dez. Quando esperavam tirar cinquenta medidas da prensa de uvas, tiravam apenas vinte. 17 Enviei ferrugem, mofo e granizo para destruir tudo que vocês trabalharam para produzir. E, no entanto, vocês não voltaram para mim, diz o Senhor.

18 “Pensem neste 18 de dezembro, o dia[c] em que foram lançados os alicerces do templo do Senhor. Sim, pensem bem. 19 Eu lhes faço uma promessa agora, enquanto a semente ainda está no celeiro[d] e suas videiras, figueiras, romãzeiras e oliveiras ainda não deram frutos. Mas, de hoje em diante, eu os abençoarei”.

Promessas para Zorobabel

20 Naquele mesmo dia, 18 de dezembro,[e] o Senhor enviou mais uma mensagem a Ageu: 21 “Diga ao governador de Judá, Zorobabel, que estou prestes a sacudir os céus e a terra. 22 Derrubarei tronos e destruirei o poder de reinos estrangeiros. Derrubarei os carros de guerra e seus condutores; os cavalos cairão, e seus cavaleiros matarão uns aos outros.

23 “Naquele dia, diz o Senhor dos Exércitos, honrarei você, meu servo Zorobabel, filho de Sealtiel. Farei que você seja como um anel de selar em meu dedo, diz o Senhor, pois eu o escolhi. Eu, o Senhor dos Exércitos, falei!”.

Haggai 2
New International Version

2 1 on the twenty-first day of the seventh month,(A) the word of the Lord came through the prophet Haggai:(B) 2 “Speak to Zerubbabel(C) son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, to Joshua son of Jozadak,[a](D) the high priest, and to the remnant(E) of the people. Ask them, 3 ‘Who of you is left who saw this house(F) in its former glory? How does it look to you now? Does it not seem to you like nothing?(G) 4 But now be strong, Zerubbabel,’ declares the Lord. ‘Be strong,(H) Joshua son of Jozadak,(I) the high priest. Be strong, all you people of the land,’ declares the Lord, ‘and work. For I am with(J) you,’ declares the Lord Almighty. 5 ‘This is what I covenanted(K) with you when you came out of Egypt.(L) And my Spirit(M) remains among you. Do not fear.’(N)

6 “This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘In a little while(O) I will once more shake the heavens and the earth,(P) the sea and the dry land. 7 I will shake all nations, and what is desired(Q) by all nations will come, and I will fill this house(R) with glory,(S)’ says the Lord Almighty. 8 ‘The silver is mine and the gold(T) is mine,’ declares the Lord Almighty. 9 ‘The glory(U) of this present house(V) will be greater than the glory of the former house,’ says the Lord Almighty. ‘And in this place I will grant peace,(W)’ declares the Lord Almighty.”

Blessings for a Defiled People

10 On the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month,(X) in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came to the prophet Haggai: 11 “This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘Ask the priests(Y) what the law says: 12 If someone carries consecrated meat(Z) in the fold of their garment, and that fold touches some bread or stew, some wine, olive oil or other food, does it become consecrated?(AA)’”

The priests answered, “No.”

13 Then Haggai said, “If a person defiled by contact with a dead body touches one of these things, does it become defiled?”

“Yes,” the priests replied, “it becomes defiled.(AB)”

14 Then Haggai said, “‘So it is with this people(AC) and this nation in my sight,’ declares the Lord. ‘Whatever they do and whatever they offer(AD) there is defiled.

15 “‘Now give careful thought(AE) to this from this day on[b]—consider how things were before one stone was laid(AF) on another in the Lord’s temple.(AG) 16 When anyone came to a heap(AH) of twenty measures, there were only ten. When anyone went to a wine vat(AI) to draw fifty measures, there were only twenty.(AJ) 17 I struck all the work of your hands(AK) with blight,(AL) mildew and hail,(AM) yet you did not return(AN) to me,’ declares the Lord.(AO) 18 ‘From this day on, from this twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, give careful thought(AP) to the day when the foundation(AQ) of the Lord’s temple was laid. Give careful thought: 19 Is there yet any seed left in the barn? Until now, the vine and the fig tree, the pomegranate(AR) and the olive tree have not borne fruit.(AS)

“‘From this day on I will bless(AT) you.’”

Zerubbabel the Lord’s Signet Ring

20 The word of the Lord came to Haggai(AU) a second time on the twenty-fourth day of the month:(AV) 21 “Tell Zerubbabel(AW) governor of Judah that I am going to shake(AX) the heavens and the earth. 22 I will overturn(AY) royal thrones and shatter the power of the foreign kingdoms.(AZ) I will overthrow chariots(BA) and their drivers; horses and their riders(BB) will fall, each by the sword of his brother.(BC)

23 “‘On that day,(BD)’ declares the Lord Almighty, ‘I will take you, my servant(BE) Zerubbabel(BF) son of Shealtiel,’ declares the Lord, ‘and I will make you like my signet ring,(BG) for I have chosen you,’ declares the Lord Almighty.”

Aggée 2
Louis Segond

2 Le vingt et unième jour du septième mois, la parole de l'Éternel se révéla par Aggée, le prophète, en ces mots:

2 Parle à Zorobabel, fils de Schealthiel, gouverneur de Juda, à Josué, fils de Jotsadak, le souverain sacrificateur, et au reste du peuple, et dis-leur:

3 Quel est parmi vous le survivant Qui ait vu cette maison dans sa gloire première? Et comment la voyez-vous maintenant? Telle qu'elle est, ne paraît-elle pas comme rien à vos yeux?

4 Maintenant fortifie-toi, Zorobabel! dit l'Éternel. Fortifie-toi, Josué, fils de Jotsadak, souverain sacrificateur! Fortifie-toi, peuple entier du pays! dit l'Éternel. Et travaillez! Car je suis avec vous, Dit l'Éternel des armées.

5 Je reste fidèle à l'alliance que j'ai faite avec vous Quand vous sortîtes de l'Égypte, Et mon esprit est au milieu de vous; Ne craignez pas!

6 Car ainsi parle l'Éternel des armées: Encore un peu de temps, Et j'ébranlerai les cieux et la terre, La mer et le sec;

7 J'ébranlerai toutes les nations; Les trésors de toutes les nations viendront, Et je remplirai de gloire cette maison, Dit l'Éternel des armées.

8 L'argent est à moi, et l'or est à moi, Dit l'Éternel des armées.

9 La gloire de cette dernière maison sera plus grande Que celle de la première, Dit l'Éternel des armées; Et c'est dans ce lieu que je donnerai la paix, Dit l'Éternel des armées.

10 le vingt-quatrième jour du neuvième mois, la seconde année de Darius, la parole de l'Éternel se révéla par Aggée, le prophète, en ces mots:

11 Ainsi parle l'Éternel des armées: Propose aux sacrificateurs cette question sur la loi:

12 Si quelqu'un porte dans le pan de son vêtement de la chair consacrée, et qu'il touche avec son vêtement du pain, des mets, du vin, de l'huile, ou un aliment quelconque, ces choses seront-elles sanctifiées? Les sacrificateurs répondirent: Non!

13 Et Aggée dit: Si quelqu'un souillé par le contact d'un cadavre touche toutes ces choses, seront-elles souillées? Les sacrificateurs répondirent: Elles seront souillées.

14 Alors Aggée, reprenant la parole, dit: Tel est ce peuple, telle est cette nation devant moi, dit l'Éternel, Telles sont toutes les oeuvres de leurs mains; Ce qu'ils m'offrent là est souillé.

15 Considérez donc attentivement Ce qui s'est passé jusqu'à ce jour, Avant qu'on eût mis pierre sur pierre au temple de l'Éternel!

16 Alors, quand on venait à un tas de vingt mesures, Il n'y en avait que dix; Quand on venait à la cuve pour puiser cinquante mesures, Il n'y en avait que vingt.

17 Je vous ai frappés par la rouille et par la nielle, et par la grêle; J'ai frappé tout le travail de vos mains. Malgré cela, vous n'êtes pas revenus à moi, dit l'Éternel.

18 Considérez attentivement Ce qui s'est passé jusqu'à ce jour, Jusqu'au vingt-quatrième jour du neuvième mois, Depuis le jour où le temple de l'Éternel a été fondé, Considérez-le attentivement!

19 Y avait-il encore de la semence dans les greniers? Même la vigne, le figuier, le grenadier et l'olivier, N'ont rien rapporté. Mais dès ce jour je répandrai ma bénédiction.

20 La parole de l'Éternel fut adressée pour la seconde fois à Aggée, le vingt-quatrième jour du mois, en ces mots:

21 Parle à Zorobabel, gouverneur de Juda, et dis: J'ébranlerai les cieux et la terre;

22 Je renverserai le trône des royaumes, Je détruirai la force des royaumes des nations, Je renverserai les chars et ceux qui les montent; Les chevaux et leurs cavaliers seront abattus, L'un par l'épée de l'autre.

23 En ce jour-là, dit l'Éternel des armées, Je te prendrai, Zorobabel, fils de Schealthiel, Mon serviteur, dit l'Éternel, Et je te garderai comme un sceau; Car je t'ai choisi, dit l'Éternel des armées.
