| [1]In the foure and twentithe dai of the monethe, in the sixte monethe, in the secunde yeer of kyng Darius. |
[1]In the four and twentieth day of the sixth month, in the second year of king Darius, |
| [2]In the seuenthe monethe, in the oon and twentith dai of the monethe, the word of the Lord was maad in the hond of Aggei, the profete, and seide, |
[2]In the seventh month, in the one and twentieth day of the month, came the word of the Lord by the ministry of the prophet Haggai, saying, |
| [3]Speke thou to Sorobabel, the sone of Salatiel, the duyk of Juda, and to Jhesu, the gret preest, the sone of Josedech, and to othere of the puple, and seie thou, |
[3]Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel prince of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak the high priest, and to the residue of the people, saying, |
| [4]Who in you is left, that sai this hous in his firste glorie? and what seen ye this now? whether it is not thus, as if it be not bifore youre iyen? |
[4]Who is left among you, that saw this house in her first glory, and how do you see it now? Is it not in your eyes, in comparison of it as nothing? |
| [5]And now, Sorobabel, be thou coumfortid, seith the Lord, and Jhesu, greet preest, sone of Josedech, be thou coumfortid, and al the puple of the lond, be thou coumfortid, seith the Lord of oostis; and do ye, for Y am with you, seith the Lord of oostis. |
[5]Yet now be of good courage, O Zerubbabel, saith the Lord, and be of good comfort, O Joshua, son of Jehozadak the high priest: and be strong, all ye people of the land, saith the Lord, and do it: for I am with you, saith the Lord of hosts, |
| [6]The word that Y couenauntide with you, whanne ye wenten out of the lond of Egipt, and my Spirit schal be in the myddil of you. |
[6]According to the word that I covenanted with you, when ye came out of Egypt: so my spirit shall remain among you, fear ye not. |
| [7]Nyle ye drede, for the Lord of oostis seith these thingis, Yit o litil thing is, and Y schal moue heuene, and erthe, and see, and drie lond; |
[7]For thus saith the Lord of hosts, Yet a little while, and I will shake the heavens and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land: |
| [8]and Y schal moue alle folkis, and the desirid to alle folkis schal come; and Y schal fille this hous with glorie, seith the Lord of oostis. |
[8]And I will move all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come, and I will fill this house with glory, saith the Lord of hosts. |
| [9]Myn is siluer, and myn is gold, seith the Lord of oostes. |
[9]The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the Lord of hosts. |
| [10]The glorie of this laste hous schal be greet, more than the firste, seith the Lord of oostis. And in this place Y schal yyue pees, seith the Lord of oostis. |
[10]The glory of this last house shall be greater than the first, saith the Lord of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the Lord of hosts. |
| [11]In the foure and twentithe dai of the nynthe monethe, in the secounde yeer of kyng Daryus, the word of the Lord was maad to Aggei, the profete, and seide, The Lord God of oostis seith these thingis, |
[11]In the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the Lord unto the prophet Haggai, saying, |
| [12]Axe thou preestis the lawe, and seie thou, |
[12]Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Ask now the priests concerning the law, and say, |
| [13]If a man takith halewyd fleisch in the hem of his clothing, and touchith of the hiynesse therof breed, ether potage, ether wyn, ether oile, ether ony mete, whether it schal be halewid? Sotheli preestis answeriden, and seiden, Nai. |
[13]If one bear holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and with his skirt do touch the bread, or the pottage, or the wine, or oil, or any meat, shall it be holy? And the priests answered and said, No. |
| [14]And Aggei seide, If a man defoulid in soule touchith of alle these thingis, whether it schal be defoulid? And prestis answeriden, and seiden, It schal be defoulid. |
[14]Then said Haggai, If a polluted person touch any of these, shall it be unclean? And the priests answered, and said, It shall be unclean. |
| [15]And Aggei answeride, and seide, So is this puple, and so is this folc bifor my face, seith the Lord, and so is al werk of her hondis; and alle thingis whiche thei offren there, schulen be defoulid. |
[15]Then answered Haggai, and said, So is this people, and so is this nation before me, saith the Lord: and so are all the works of their hands, and that which they offer here, is unclean. |
| [16]And nowe putte ye youre hertis, fro this dai and aboue, bifor that a stoon on a stoon was put in temple of the Lord, |
[16]And now, I pray you, consider in your minds: from this day, and afore, even afore a stone was laid upon a stone in the temple of the Lord: |
| [17]whanne ye wenten to an heep of twenti buischels, and there weren maad ten; ye entriden to the pressour, that ye schulden presse out fifti galouns, and there weren maad twenti. |
[17]Before these things were, when one came to an heap of twenty measures, there were but ten: when one came to the wine press for to draw out fifty vessels out of the press, there were but twenty. |
| [18]Y smoot you with brennynge wynd; and with myldew, and hail, alle the werkis of youre hondis; and ther was noon in you that turnede ayen to me, seith the Lord. |
[18]I smote you with blasting, and with mildew, and with hail, in all the labors of your hands: yet you turned not to me, saith the Lord. |
| [19]Putte ye youre hertis fro this dai, and in to comynge, fro the foure and twentithe dai of the nynthe monethe, fro the dai in whiche foundementis of the temple of the Lord ben castun, putte ye on youre herte. |
[19]Consider, I pray you, in your minds, from this day, and afore 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 in your minds. |
| [20]Whether now seed is in buriownyng? and yit vineyerd, and fige tre, and pomgarnade, and the tre of olyue flouride not. |
[20]Is the seed yet in the barn? 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. |
| [21]Fro this dai Y schal blesse. And the word of the Lord was maad the secounde tyme to Aggei, in the foure and twentithe dai of the monethe, |
[21]And again the word of the Lord came unto Haggai in the four and twentieth day of the month, saying, |
| [22]and seide, Spek thou to Sorobabel, duik of Juda, and seie thou, Y shal moue heuene and erthe togidere, and Y schal distrie the seet of rewmes, |
[22]Speak to Zerubbabel the prince of Judah, and say, I will shake the heavens and the earth, |
| [23]and Y schal al to-breke the strengthe of rewme of hethene men, and schal distrie a foure horsid carte, and the stiere therof; and horsis schulen go doun, and stieris of hem, a man bi swerd of his brother. |
[23]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 horse and the riders shall come down, everyone by the sword of his brother. |
| 24[No verse] |
[24]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. |
