Haggai 1 (WEBP)

[1] In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, Yahweh’s word came by Haggai the prophet, to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, saying,
[2] “This is what Yahweh of Armies says: These people say, ‘The time hasn’t yet come, the time for Yahweh’s house to be built.’ ”
[3] Then Yahweh’s word came by Haggai the prophet, saying,
[4] “Is it a time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, while this house lies waste?
[5] Now therefore this is what Yahweh of Armies says: ‘Consider your ways.
[6] You have sown much, and bring in little. You eat, but you don’t have enough. You drink, but you aren’t filled with drink. You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm; and he who earns wages earns wages to put them into a bag with holes in it.’
[7] “This is what Yahweh of Armies says: ‘Consider your ways.
[8] Go up to the mountain, bring wood, and build the house. I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified,” says Yahweh.
[9] “You looked for much, and, behold, it came to little; and when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why?” says Yahweh of Armies, “Because of my house that lies waste, while each of you is busy with his own house.
[10] Therefore for your sake the heavens withhold the dew, and the earth withholds its fruit.
[11] I called for a drought on the land, on the mountains, on the grain, on the new wine, on the oil, on that which the ground produces, on men, on livestock, and on all the labor of the hands.”
[12] Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed Yahweh their God’s voice, and the words of Haggai the prophet, as Yahweh their God had sent him; and the people feared Yahweh.
[13] Then Haggai, Yahweh’s messenger, spoke Yahweh’s message to the people, saying, “I am with you,” says Yahweh.
[14] Yahweh stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and worked on the house of Yahweh of Armies, their God,
[15] in the twenty-fourth day of the month, in the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.

Haggai 1:1 “Yahweh” is God’s proper Name, sometimes rendered “Lord” (all caps) in other translations.
Haggai 1:9 “Behold”, from “הִנֵּה”, means look at, take notice, observe, see, or gaze at. It is often used as an interjection.
Haggai 1:12 The Hebrew word rendered “God” is “אֱלֹהִ֑ים” (Elohim).

[1] εν τω δευτερω ετει επι δαρειου του βασιλεως εν τω μηνι τω εκτω μια του μηνος εγενετο λογος κυριου εν χειρι αγγαιου του προφητου λεγων ειπον δη προς ζοροβαβελ τον του σαλαθιηλ εκ φυλης ιουδα και προς ιησουν τον του ιωσεδεκ τον ιερεα τον μεγαν λεγων
[2] ταδε λεγει κυριος παντοκρατωρ λεγων ο λαος ουτος λεγουσιν ουχ ηκει ο καιρος του οικοδομησαι τον οικον κυριου
[3] και εγενετο λογος κυριου εν χειρι αγγαιου του προφητου λεγων
[4] ει καιρος υμιν μεν εστιν του οικειν εν οικοις υμων κοιλοσταθμοις ο δε οικος ουτος εξηρημωται
[5] και νυν ταδε λεγει κυριος παντοκρατωρ ταξατε δη τας καρδιας υμων εις τας οδους υμων
[6] εσπειρατε πολλα και εισηνεγκατε ολιγα εφαγετε και ουκ εις πλησμονην επιετε και ουκ εις μεθην περιεβαλεσθε και ουκ εθερμανθητε εν αυτοις και ο τους μισθους συναγων συνηγαγεν εις δεσμον τετρυπημενον
[7] ταδε λεγει κυριος παντοκρατωρ θεσθε τας καρδιας υμων εις τας οδους υμων
[8] αναβητε επι το ορος και κοψατε ξυλα και οικοδομησατε τον οικον και ευδοκησω εν αυτω και ενδοξασθησομαι ειπεν κυριος
[9] επεβλεψατε εις πολλα και εγενετο ολιγα και εισηνεχθη εις τον οικον και εξεφυσησα αυτα δια τουτο ταδε λεγει κυριος παντοκρατωρ ανθ ων ο οικος μου εστιν ερημος υμεις δε διωκετε εκαστος εις τον οικον αυτου
[10] δια τουτο ανεξει ο ουρανος απο δροσου και η γη υποστελειται τα εκφορια αυτης
[11] και επαξω ρομφαιαν επι την γην και επι τα ορη και επι τον σιτον και επι τον οινον και επι το ελαιον και οσα εκφερει η γη και επι τους ανθρωπους και επι τα κτηνη και επι παντας τους πονους των χειρων αυτων
[12] και ηκουσεν ζοροβαβελ ο του σαλαθιηλ εκ φυλης ιουδα και ιησους ο του ιωσεδεκ ο ιερευς ο μεγας και παντες οι καταλοιποι του λαου της φωνης κυριου του θεου αυτων και των λογων αγγαιου του προφητου καθοτι εξαπεστειλεν αυτον κυριος ο θεος αυτων προς αυτους και εφοβηθη ο λαος απο προσωπου κυριου
[13] και ειπεν αγγαιος ο αγγελος κυριου τω λαω εγω ειμι μεθ υμων λεγει κυριος
[14] και εξηγειρεν κυριος το πνευμα ζοροβαβελ του σαλαθιηλ εκ φυλης ιουδα και το πνευμα ιησου του ιωσεδεκ του ιερεως του μεγαλου και το πνευμα των καταλοιπων παντος του λαου και εισηλθον και εποιουν εργα εν τω οικω κυριου παντοκρατορος θεου αυτων
[15] τη τετραδι και εικαδι του μηνος του εκτου τω δευτερω ετει επι δαρειου του βασιλεως
