Notes on this text (2)
- The Old Testament is translated from the Hebrew, not from the Septuagint read in the Orthodox Church; there are no deuterocanonical books.
- Katharevousa (learned 19th-century Greek), as in the CrossWire module (text from theword.gr).
1 Εν τω εβδόμω μηνί, τη εικοστή πρώτη του μηνός, έγεινε λόγος Κυρίου δι' Αγγαίου του προφήτου, λέγων,
1 In the seventh month, in the twenty-first day of the month, Yahweh’s word came by Haggai the prophet, saying,
2 Λάλησον τώρα προς Ζοροβάβελ τον υιόν του Σαλαθιήλ, τον διοικητήν του Ιούδα, και προς Ιησούν τον υιόν του Ιωσεδέκ, τον ιερέα τον μέγαν, και προς το υπόλοιπον του λαού, λέγων,
2 “Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the remnant of the people, saying,
3 Τις μεταξύ σας έμεινεν, όστις είδε τον οίκον τούτον εν τη πρώτη αυτού δόξη; και οποίον τώρα σεις βλέπετε αυτόν; δεν είναι εις τους οφθαλμούς σας ως ουδέν, συγκρινόμενος προς εκείνον;
3 ‘Who is left among you who saw this house in its former glory? How do you see it now? Isn’t it in your eyes as nothing?
4 Πλην ενδυναμού τώρα, Ζοροβάβελ, λέγει Κύριος, και ενδυναμού, Ιησού, υιέ του Ιωσεδέκ, ο ιερεύς ο μέγας, και ενδυναμού, πας ο λαός του τόπου, λέγει Κύριος, και εργάζεσθε· διότι εγώ είμαι με σας, λέγει ο Κύριος των δυνάμεων.
4 Yet now be strong, Zerubbabel,’ says Yahweh. ‘Be strong, Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest. Be strong, all you people of the land,’ says Yahweh, ‘and work, for I am with you,’ says Yahweh of Armies.
5 Κατά τον λόγον της προς εσάς διαθήκης μου, ότε εξήλθετε εξ Αιγύπτου, το πνεύμά μου θέλει μένει μεταξύ σας· μη φοβείσθε.
5 This is the word that I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt, and my Spirit lived among you. ‘Don’t be afraid.’
6 Διότι ούτω λέγει ο Κύριος των δυνάμεων· Έτι άπαξ μετ' ολίγον εγώ θέλω σείσει τον ουρανόν και την γην και την θάλασσαν και την ξηράν.
6 For this is what Yahweh of Armies says: ‘Yet once more, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, the earth, the sea, and the dry land;
7 Και θέλω σείσει πάντα τα έθνη, και θέλει ελθεί ο εκλεκτός πάντων των εθνών, και θέλω εμπλήσει τον οίκον τούτον δόξης, λέγει ο Κύριος των δυνάμεων.
7 and I will shake all nations. The treasure of all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory, says Yahweh of Armies.
8 Εμού είναι το αργύριον και εμού το χρυσίον, λέγει ο Κύριος των δυνάμεων.
8 The silver is mine, and the gold is mine,’ says Yahweh of Armies.
9 Η δόξα του εσχάτου τούτου οίκου θέλει είσθαι μεγαλητέρα της του πρώτου, λέγει ο Κύριος των δυνάμεων· και εν τω τόπω τούτω θέλω δώσει ειρήνην, λέγει ο Κύριος των δυνάμεων.
9 ‘The latter glory of this house will be greater than the former,’ says Yahweh of Armies; ‘and in this place I will give peace,’ says Yahweh of Armies.”
10 Εν τη εικοστή τετάρτη του εννάτου μηνός, εν τω δευτέρω έτει του Δαρείου, έγεινε λόγος Κυρίου δι' Αγγαίου του προφήτου, λέγων,
10 In the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, Yahweh’s word came by Haggai the prophet, saying,
11 Ούτω λέγει ο Κύριος των δυνάμεων· Ερώτησον τώρα τους ιερείς περί του νόμου, λέγων,
11 “Yahweh of Armies says: Ask now the priests concerning the law, saying,
12 Εάν λάβη τις κρέας άγιον εν τω άκρω του ιματίου αυτού και διά του άκρου αυτού εγγίση άρτον ή μαγείρευμα ή οίνον ή έλαιον ή παν φαγητόν, θέλει αγιασθή; Και οι ιερείς απεκρίθησαν και είπον, Ουχί.
12 ‘If someone carries holy meat in the fold of his garment, and with his fold touches bread, stew, wine, oil, or any food, will it become holy?’” The priests answered, “No.”
13 Και είπεν ο Αγγαίος, Εάν ακάθαρτος από νεκρού σώματος εγγίση τι εξ αυτών, θέλει μιανθή; Και οι ιερείς απεκρίθησαν και είπον, Θέλει μιανθή.
13 Then Haggai said, “If one who is unclean by reason of a dead body touches any of these, will it be unclean?” The priests answered, “It will be unclean.”
14 Και απεκρίθη ο Αγγαίος και είπεν, Ούτως είναι ο λαός ούτος και ούτω το έθνος τούτο ενώπιόν μου, λέγει ο Κύριος, και ούτω παν έργον των χειρών αυτών· και ό,τι προσφέρουσιν εκεί, είναι μεμιασμένον.
14 Then Haggai answered, “‘So is this people, and so is this nation before me,’ says Yahweh; ‘and so is every work of their hands. That which they offer there is unclean.
15 Και τώρα λοιπόν συλλογίσθητε· από της ημέρας ταύτης και επέκεινα, πριν τεθή λίθος επί λίθον εν τω ναώ του Κυρίου,
15 Now, please consider from this day and backward, before a stone was laid on a stone in Yahweh’s temple.
16 πριν γείνωσι ταύτα, επορεύετό τις εις σωρόν είκοσι μέτρων και ήσαν δέκα· επορεύετο εις τον ληνόν διά να εξαντλήση πεντήκοντα μέτρα από του ληνού, και ήσαν είκοσι.
16 Through all that time, when one came to a heap of twenty measures, there were only ten. When one came to the wine vat to draw out fifty, there were only twenty.
17 Σας επάταξα με ανεμοφθορίαν και με ερυσίβην και με χάλαζαν εν πάσι τοις έργοις των χειρών σας· πλην σεις δεν επεστρέψατε προς εμέ, λέγει Κύριος.
17 I struck you with blight, mildew, and hail in all the work of your hands; yet you didn’t turn to me,’ says Yahweh.
18 Συλλογίσθητε τώρα· από της ημέρας ταύτης και επέκεινα, από της εικοστής τετάρτης ημέρας του εννάτου μηνός από της ημέρας καθ' ην εθεμελιώθη ο ναός του Κυρίου, συλλογίσθητε.
18 ‘Consider, please, from this day and backward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, since the day that the foundation of Yahweh’s temple was laid, consider it.
19 Είναι ο σπόρος έτι εν τη αποθήκη; έτι και η άμπελος και η συκή και η ροϊδία και η ελαία δεν εκαρποφόρησαν· από της ημέρας ταύτης θέλω ευλογήσει αυτά.
19 Is the seed yet in the barn? Yes, the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree haven’t produced. From today I will bless you.’”
20 Και έγεινε πάλιν λόγος Κυρίου προς τον Αγγαίον τη εικοστή τετάρτη του μηνός λέγων,
20 Yahweh’s word came the second time to Haggai in the twenty-fourth day of the month, saying,
21 Λάλησον προς Ζοροβάβελ, τον διοικητήν του Ιούδα, λέγων, Εγώ σείω τον ουρανόν και την γήν·
21 “Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, ‘I will shake the heavens and the earth.
22 και θέλω καταστρέψει τον θρόνον των βασιλείων και θέλω εξολοθρεύσει το κράτος των βασιλείων των εθνών· και θέλω καταστρέψει αμάξας και τους αναβάτας αυτών, και οι ίπποι και οι αναβάται αυτών θέλουσι πέσει, έκαστος διά της ρομφαίας του αδελφού αυτού.
22 I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms. I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations. I will overthrow the chariots and those who ride in them. The horses and their riders will come down, everyone by the sword of his brother.
23 Εν τη ημέρα εκείνη, λέγει ο Κύριος των δυνάμεων, θέλω λάβει σε, Ζοροβάβελ, τον δούλον μου, τον υιόν του Σαλαθιήλ, λέγει Κύριος, και θέλω σε θέσει ως σφραγίδα, διότι σε εξέλεξα, λέγει ο Κύριος των δυνάμεων.
23 In that day, says Yahweh of Armies, I will take you, Zerubbabel my servant, the son of Shealtiel,’ says Yahweh, ‘and will make you like a signet ring, for I have chosen you,’ says Yahweh of Armies.”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… and the Church thus briefly: "Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Yet one little while, and I will shake the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land; and I will move all nations, and the desired of all nations shall come." The fulfillment of this prophecy is in part already seen, and in part hoped for …

Now nothing is more faithless than the devil; and God says plainly by the Prophet, The gold is Mine, and the silver is Mine, and to whomsoever I will I give it.

For so, indeed, did that car nal people understand what was foretold by Haggai the prophet, saying, "The glory of this latter house shall be greater than that of the former." Now, that this is said of the new testament, he showed a little above, where he says, evidently promising Christ, "And I will move all nations, and the desired …

Chapter 48.--That Haggai's Prophecy, in Which He Said that the Glory of the House of God Would Be Greater Than that of the First Had Been, Was Really Fulfilled, Not in the Rebuilding of the Temple, But in the Church of Christ.
