Haggai 1



 1. In the second <8147 sh@nayim > year <8141 shaneh > of Darius 
<1867 Dar<yavesh > the king <4428 melek >, in the sixth <8345 
shishshiy > month <2320 chodesh >, in the first <0259 >echad > 
day <3117 yowm > of the month <2320 chodesh >, came <1961 hayah 
> the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > by Haggai 
<2292 Chaggay > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > unto Zerubbabel <2216 
Z@rubbabel > the son <1121 ben > of Shealtiel <7597 Sh@>altiy>el 
>, governor <6346 pechah > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and to 
Joshua <3091 Y@howshuwa< > the son <1121 ben > of Josedech <3087 
Y@howtsadaq >, the high <1419 gadowl > priest <3548 kohen >, 
saying <0559 >amar >,



 2 Thus <3541 koh > speaketh <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, saying <0559 >amar >, This 
<2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > say <0559 >amar >, The time <6256 
<eth > is not come <0935 bow> >, the time <6256 <eth > that the 
LORD'S <3068 Y@hovah > house <1004 bayith > should be built 
<1129 banah >.



 3 Then came <1961 hayah > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah > by Haggai <2292 Chaggay > the prophet <5030 
nabiy> >, saying <0559 >amar >,



 4 [Is it] time <6256 <eth > for you, O ye, to dwell <3427 
yashab > in your cieled <5603 caphan > houses <1004 bayith >, 
and this <2088 zeh > house <1004 bayith > [lie] waste <2720 
chareb >?



 5 Now <6258 <attah > therefore thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 
>amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >; 
Consider your ways <1870 derek >.



 6 Ye have sown <2232 zara< > much <7235 rabah >, and bring 
<0935 bow> > in little <4592 m@<at >; ye eat <0398 >akal >, but 
ye have not enough <7654 sob<ah >; ye drink <8354 shathah >, but 
ye are not filled with drink <7937 shakar >; ye clothe <3847 
labash > you, but there is none <0369 >ayin > warm <2527 chom >; 
and he that earneth <7936 sakar > wages <7936 sakar > earneth 
<7936 sakar > wages <7936 sakar > [to put it] into <0413 >el > a 
bag <6872 ts@rowr > with holes <5344 naqab >.



 7 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > 
of hosts <6635 tsaba> >; Consider your <5315 nephesh > ways 
<1870 derek >.



 8 Go <5927 <alah > up to the mountain <2022 har >, and bring 
<0935 bow> > wood <6086 <ets >, and build <1129 banah > the 
house <1004 bayith >; and I will take pleasure <7521 ratsah > in 
it, and I will be glorified <3513 kabad >, saith <0559 >amar > 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



 9 Ye looked <6437 panah > for much <7235 rabah >, and, lo <2009 
hinneh >, [it came] to little <4592 m@<at >; and when ye brought 
<0935 bow> > [it] home <1004 bayith >, I did blow <5301 naphach 
> upon it. Why? saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of 
hosts <6635 tsaba> >. Because <3282 ya<an > of mine house <1004 
bayith > that [is] waste <2720 chareb >, and ye run <7323 ruwts 
> every man <0376 >iysh > unto his own house <1004 bayith >.



 10 Therefore the heaven <8064 shamayim > over <5921 <al > you 
is stayed <3607 kala> > from dew <2919 tal >, and the earth 
<0776 >erets > is stayed <3607 kala> > [from] her fruit <2981 
y@buwl >.



 11 And I called <7121 qara> > for a drought <2721 choreb > upon 
the land <0776 >erets >, and upon the mountains <2022 har >, and 
upon the corn <1715 dagan >, and upon the new <8492 tiyrowsh > 
wine <8492 tiyrowsh >, and upon the oil <3323 yitshar >, and 
upon [that] which <0834 >aher > the ground <0127 >adamah > 
bringeth <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> >, and upon men <0120 
>adam >, and upon cattle <0929 b@hemah >, and upon all <3605 kol 
> the labour <3018 y@giya< > of the hands <3709 kaph >.



 12. Then Zerubbabel <2216 Z@rubbabel > the son <1121 ben > of 
Shealtiel <7597 Sh@>altiy>el >, and Joshua <3091 Y@howshuwa< > 
the son <1121 ben > of Josedech <3087 Y@howtsadaq >, the high 
<1419 gadowl > priest <3548 kohen >, with all <3605 kol > the 
remnant <7611 sh@>eriyth > of the people <5971 <am >, obeyed 
<8085 shama< > the voice <6963 qowl > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah 
> their God <0430 >elohiym >, and the words <1697 dabar > of 
Haggai <2292 Chaggay > the prophet <5030 nabiy> >, as the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah > their God <0430 >elohiym > had sent <7971 
shalach > him, and the people <5971 <am > did fear <3372 yare> > 
before <6440 paniym > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



 13 Then spake <0559 >amar > Haggai <2292 Chaggay > the LORD'S 
<3068 Y@hovah > messenger <4397 mal>ak > in the LORD'S <3068 
Y@hovah > message <4400 mal>akuwth > unto the people <5971 <am >,
 saying <0559 >amar >, I [am] with you, saith <5002 n@>um > the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



 14 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > stirred <5782 <uwr > up the 
spirit <7307 ruwach > of Zerubbabel <2216 Z@rubbabel > the son 
<1121 ben > of Shealtiel <7597 Sh@>altiy>el >, governor <6346 
pechah > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and the spirit <7307 ruwach 
> of Joshua <3091 Y@howshuwa< > the son <1121 ben > of Josedech 
<3087 Y@howtsadaq >, the high <1419 gadowl > priest <3548 kohen 
>, and the spirit <7307 ruwach > of all <3605 kol > the remnant 
<7611 sh@>eriyth > of the people <5971 <am >; and they came 
<0935 bow> > and did <6213 <asah > work <4399 m@la>kah > in the 
house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 
tsaba> >, their God <0430 >elohiym >,



 15 In the four <0702 >arba< > and twentieth <6242 <esriym > day 
<3117 yowm > of the sixth <8345 shishshiy > month <2320 chodesh 
>, in the second <8147 sh@nayim > year <8141 shaneh > of Darius 
<1867 Dar<yavesh > the king <4428 melek >.



Haggai 2



 1. In the seventh <7637 sh@biy<iy > [month], in the one <0259 
>echad > and twentieth <6242 <esriym > [day] of the month <2320 
chodesh >, came <1961 hayah > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah > by the prophet <5030 nabiy> > Haggai <2292 
Chaggay >, saying <0559 >amar >,



 2 Speak <0559 >amar > now <4994 na> > to Zerubbabel <2216 
Z@rubbabel > the son <1121 ben > of Shealtiel <7597 Sh@>altiy>el

Joshua <3091 Y@howshuwa< > the son <1121 ben > of Josedech <3087 
Y@howtsadaq >, the high <1419 gadowl > priest <3548 kohen >, and 
to the residue <7611 sh@>eriyth > of the people <5971 <am >, 
saying <0559 >amar >,



 3 Who <4310 miy > [is] left <7604 sha>ar > among you that saw 
<7200 ra>ah > this <2088 zeh > house <1004 bayith > in her first 
<7223 ri>shown > glory <3519 kabowd >? and how <4100 mah > do ye 
see <7200 ra>ah > it now <6258 <attah >? [is it] not in your 
eyes <5869 <ayin > in comparison <3644 k@mow > of it as nothing 
<0369 >ayin >?



 4 Yet now <6258 <attah > be strong <2388 chazaq >, O Zerubbabel 
<2216 Z@rubbabel >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >;
 and be strong <2388 chazaq >, O Joshua <3091 Y@howshuwa< >, son 
<1121 ben > of Josedech <3087 Y@howtsadaq >, the high <1419 
gadowl > priest <3548 kohen >; and be strong <2388 chazaq >, all 
<3605 kol > ye people <5971 <am > of the land <0776 >erets >, 
saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and work <6213 
<asah >: for I [am] with you, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >:



 5 [According to] the word <1697 dabar > that I covenanted <3772 
karath > with you when ye came <3318 yatsa> > out of Egypt <4714 
Mitsrayim >, so my spirit <7307 ruwach > remaineth <5975 <amad > 
among <8432 tavek > you: fear <3372 yare> > ye not.



 6 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >; Yet <5750 <owd > once <0259 
>echad >, it [is] a little <4592 m@<at > while, and I will shake 
<7493 ra<ash > the heavens <8064 shamayim >, and the earth <0776 
>erets >, and the sea <3220 yam >, and the dry <2724 charabah > 
[land];



 7 And I will shake <7493 ra<ash > all <3605 kol > nations <1471 
gowy >, and the desire <2532 chemdah > of all <3605 kol > 
nations <1471 gowy > shall come <0935 bow> >: and I will fill 
<4390 male> > this <2088 zeh > house <1004 bayith > with glory 
<3519 kabowd >, saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of 
hosts <6635 tsaba> >.



 8 The silver <3701 keceph > [is] mine, and the gold <2091 zahab

hosts <6635 tsaba> >.



 9 The glory <3519 kabowd > of this <2088 zeh > latter <0314 
>acharown > house <1004 bayith > shall be greater <1419 gadowl > 
than of the former <7223 ri>shown >, saith <5002 n@>um > the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >: and in this <2088 
zeh > place <4725 maqowm > will I give <5414 nathan > peace 
<7965 shalowm >, saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of 
hosts <6635 tsaba> >.



 10. In the four <0702 >arba< > and twentieth <6242 <esriym > 
[day] of the ninth <8671 t@shiy<iy > [month], in the second 
<8147 sh@nayim > year <8141 shaneh > of Darius <1867 Dar<yavesh 
>, came <1961 hayah > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > by Haggai <2292 Chaggay > the prophet <5030 nabiy> >, 
saying <0559 >amar >,



 11 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah 
> of hosts <6635 tsaba> >; Ask <7592 sha>al > now <4994 na> > 
the priests <3548 kohen > [concerning] the law <8451 towrah >, 
saying <0559 >amar >,



 12 If <2005 hen > one bear <5375 nasa> > holy <6944 qodesh > 
flesh <1320 basar > in the skirt <3671 kanaph > of his garment 
<0899 beged >, and with his skirt <3671 kanaph > do touch <5060 
naga< > bread <3899 lechem >, or pottage <5138 naziyd >, or wine 
<3196 yayin >, or oil <8081 shemen >, or any <3605 kol > meat 
<3978 ma>akal >, shall it be holy <6942 qadash >? And the 
priests <3548 kohen > answered <6030 <anah > and said <0559 
>amar >, No <3808 lo> >.



 13 Then said <0559 >amar > Haggai <2292 Chaggay >, If <0518 >im 
> [one that is] unclean <2931 tame> > by a dead body <5315 
nephesh > touch <5060 naga< > any <3605 kol > of these <0428 >el-

kohen > answered <6030 <anah > and said <0559 >amar >, It shall 
be unclean <2930 tame> >.



 14 Then answered <6030 <anah > Haggai <2292 Chaggay >, and said 
<0559 >amar >, So <3651 ken > [is] this <2088 zeh > people <5971 
<am >, and so <3651 ken > [is] this <2088 zeh > nation <1471 
gowy > before <6440 paniym > me, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah >; and so <3651 ken > [is] every <3605 kol > work 
<4639 ma<aseh > of their hands <3027 yad >; and that which <0834 
>aher > they offer <7126 qarab > there <8033 sham > [is] unclean 
<2931 tame> >.



 15 And now <4994 na> >, I pray <4994 na> > you, consider from 
this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm > and upward <4605 ma<al >, from 
before <2962 terem > a stone <68> was laid <7760 suwm > upon a 
stone <68> in the temple <1964 heykal > of the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah >:



 16 Since those [days] were, when [one] came <0935 bow> > to an 
heap <6194 <arem > of twenty <6242 <esriym > [measures], there 
were [but] ten <6235 <eser >: when [one] came <0935 bow> > to 
the pressfat <3342 yeqeb > for to draw <2834 chasaph > out fifty 
<2572 chamishshiym > [vessels] out of the press <6333 puwrah >, 
there were [but] twenty <6242 <esriym >.



 17 I smote <5221 nakah > you with blasting <7711 sh@dephah > 
and with mildew <3420 yeraqown > and with hail <1259 barad > in 
all <3605 kol > the labours <4639 ma<aseh > of your hands <3027 
yad >; yet ye [turned] not to me, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah >.



 18 Consider now <4994 na> > from this <2088 zeh > day <3117 
yowm > and upward <4605 ma<al >, from the four <0702 >arba< > 
and twentieth <6242 <esriym > day <3117 yowm > of the ninth 
<8671 t@shiy<iy > [month, even] from the day <3117 yowm > that 
the foundation <3245 yacad > of the LORD'S <3068 Y@hovah > 
temple <1964 heykal > was laid, consider [it].



 19 Is the seed <2233 zera< > yet <5750 <owd > in the barn <4035 
m@guwrah >? yea, as yet <5704 <ad > the vine <1612 gephen >, and 
the fig <8384 t@>en > tree, and the pomegranate <7416 rimmown >, 
and the olive <2132 zayith > tree <6086 <ets >, hath not brought 
<5375 nasa> > forth <5375 nasa> >: from this <2088 zeh > day 
<3117 yowm > will I bless <1288 barak > [you].



 20. And again <8145 sheniy > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > unto Haggai <2292 Chaggay > 
in the four <0702 >arba< > and twentieth <6242 <esriym > [day] 
of the month <2320 chodesh >, saying <0559 >amar >,



 21 Speak <0559 >amar > to Zerubbabel <2216 Z@rubbabel >, 
governor <6346 pechah > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, saying <0559 
>amar >, I will shake <7493 ra<ash > the heavens <8064 shamayim 
> and the earth <0776 >erets >;



 22 And I will overthrow <2015 haphak > the throne <3678 kicce> 
> of kingdoms <4467 mamlakah >, and I will destroy <8045 shamad 
> the strength <2392 chozeq > of the kingdoms <4467 mamlakah > 
of the heathen <1471 gowy >; and I will overthrow <2015 haphak > 
the chariots <4818 merkabah >, and those that ride <7392 rakab > 
in them; and the horses <5483 cuwc > and their riders <7392 
rakab > shall come <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad >, every <0376 
>iysh > one <0376 >iysh > by the sword <2719 chereb > of his 
brother <0251 >ach >.



 23 In that day <3117 yowm >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, will I take <3947 laqach > 
thee, O Zerubbabel <2216 Z@rubbabel >, my servant <5650 <ebed >, 
the son <1121 ben > of Shealtiel <7597 Sh@>altiy>el >, saith 
<5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and will make <7760 suwm 
> thee as a signet <2368 chowtham >: for I have chosen <0977 
bachar > thee, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of 
hosts <6635 tsaba> >.
