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

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

<3087 Y@howtsadaq >, the high <1419 gadowl > priest <3548 kohen

<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

<1867 Dar<yavesh > the king <4428 melek >.

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

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

5 [According to] the word <1697 dabar > that I covenanted <3772

6 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068

[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

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

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

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

<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

13 Then said <0559 >amar > Haggai <2292 Chaggay >, If <0518 >im

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

<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

22 And I will overthrow <2015 haphak > the throne <3678 kicce>

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

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 >

the son <1121 ben > of Shealtiel <7597 Sh@>altiy>el >, saith
<5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and will make <7760 suwm

bachar > thee, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of
hosts <6635 tsaba> >.
