¶ The tyme of the Prophecye of Aggeus.
An exhortacyon to buylde the t&ebar;ple agayne.
A In the sec&obar;de yeare of kyng
note Darius, in the .vi. moneth
the fyrst daye of þe; moneth,
came the worde of the Lord
(by the Prophete Aggeus)
vnto note Zorobabel the sonne
of Salathiel þe; prynce of Iuda,
∧ to Iosua the sonne of Iosedech the hye
prest, sayinge. Thus speaketh the Lorde of
hostes,, and sayeth. This people doth saye.
The tyme is not yet come to buylde vp the
Lordes house. Then spake þe; Lord by þe; prophete
Aggeus, and sayde. noteYe your selues
can finde tyme to dwell in siled houses, and
shall thys house lye wast?
B Consyder nowe
youre awne wayes in youre hertes (sayeth
the Lorde of hostes) note ye sowe moch, but ye
bryng lytle in: ye eate, but ye haue not ynough,
ye drynck, but ye are not fylled: ye
decke youre selues, but ye are not warme:
and he that earneth eny wages, putteth it
in a broken purse.
Thus sayeth the Lorde of hoostes. Consydre
youre awne wayes in youre hertes,
get you vp to þe; mountayne, fetch wood, &abar;d
buylde vp the house note that it maye be acceptable
C
vnto me, ∧ that I may shewe myne
honours, sayeth þe; Lorde. Ye loked for moch
and lo it is come to lytle, ∧ though ye bringe
it home, yet do I blowe it awaye. And
why so sayeth the Lorde of hostes? noteEuen
because that my house lyeth so waste, and
ye ronne euery man vnto hys awne house.
Wherfore, the heau&ebar; is forbydden to geue
you eny dew, and the earth is forbydden to
geue you encrease. noteI haue called for a
drouth, both vpon the lande and vpon the
mountaynes, vpon corne, vpon wyne, and
vpon oyle, vpon euery thynge that þe; gro&ubar;de
bryngeth forth, vpon men ∧ vpon catell,
yee, and vpon all handy laboure.
Now when Zorobabel þe; sonne of Salathiel,
∧ Iesua the sonne of Iosedech the hye
preste &wt; the remnaunt of the people, herde
the voyce of the Lorde theyr God, and the
wordes of þe; Prophete Aggeus (lyke as the
D
Lorde theyr God had sent him) the people
dyd feare the Lorde. Then Aggeus the Lordes
angell sayde in þe; Lordes message vnto
the people, note I am with you, sayeth þe; Lorde.
noteSo the Lorde waked vp the sprete of
Zorobabel the Prynce of Iuda, and the sprete
of Iesua þe; sonne of Iosedech þe; hye prest,
and the sprete of the remnaunt of all the
-- --
people: that they came and laboured, in the
house of the Lorde of hoostes theyr God.
¶ The .ii. Chapter.
¶ He shewed that the goodlynes of the second temple
shall excede the fyrst, because of the commyng of Chryst.
A Upon the .xxiiii. daye of the ,vi. moneth,
in the sec&obar;de yeare of kynge
Darius, the .xxi. daye of þe; seueth
moneth, came þe; worde of þe; Lord
by the prophete Aggeus, say&ebar;ge: speake to
Zorobabel the sonne of Salathiel prince of
Iuda, ∧ to Iesua the sonne of Iosedech the
hye preste, ∧ to the resydue of þe; people, and
saye. noteWho is left am&obar;g you, þt; sawe thys
house in her fyrst bewtye? But what thyncke
ye now by it? Is it not in youre eyes, eu&ebar;
as though it were nothinge? Neuerthelesse,
be of good chere, O Zorobabel (sayeth the
Lord) note be of good c&obar;forte, O Iesua þu; sonne
of Iosedech hye preste: take good hertes vnto
you also all ye people of the l&abar;de, sayeth
the Lorde of hoostes, ∧ do accordynge to the
worde ( note for I am with you, sayth þe; Lord
of hostes) lyke as I agreed with you, when
ye came out of þe; lande of Egypt: ∧ my sprete
shalbe amonge you, feare, ye not.
B For thus sayeth the Lord of hostes: note yet
once more wil I shake heau&ebar; and earth, the
see, and þe; drye land, yee, note I wyll moue all
Heathen, ∧ the conforte of all Heathen shall
come, ∧ so wyll I fyll thys house wyth honoure,
sayeth þe; Lorde of hostes. noteThe syluer
is myne, ∧ the golde is myne, sayeth the
Lord of hoostes. Thus the glory of the last
house shalbe greater then þe; fyrst, sayth the
Lord of hostes: ∧ in thys place wyll I geue
peace, sayeth the Lorde of hostes.
C The .xxiiii. daye of the nynth moneth in
the sec&obar;de yeare of kynge Darius, came the
worde of þe; Lorde vnto þe; prophete Aggeus,
sayenge. Thus sayeth þe; Lorde God of hoostes.
Aske the prestes c&obar;cernynge the lawe,
and saye: note yf one beare holy flesh iu hys cote
lappe, ∧ with his lappe do touch the bred
potage, wyne, oyle, or eny other meate: shal
he be holy also? The prestes answered and
sayde: No. Then sayd Aggeus: Now yf one
beyng defyled &wt; a deed carcase, touch eny
of these: shall it also be vnclene? The prestes
gaue answere, ∧ sayde: note yee, it shalbe
vncleane. Then Aggeus answered ∧ sayde:
euen so is thys people ∧ thys nacyon before
me, sayeth þe; Lord: ∧ so are all the worckes
of theyr handes, yee, and all that they offre,
is vncleane.
And now (I praye you) consydre from
this daye forth, ∧ how it hath gone &wt; you
afore or euer there was layed one stone vp&obar;
another in þe; t&ebar;ple of þe; Lord: þt; when ye came
to a corne heape of .xx. bushels, there were
scarce ten: note ∧ that when ye came to the
wyne presse for to powre out .l. pottes of
wyne, there were scarce .xx. For I smote
you &wt; heate, blastyng ∧ hayle stones in all
the labours of youre handes: yet was there
none of you, þt; wolde turne vnto me, sayeth
þe; Lord. C&obar;sydre then from this daye forth
∧ afore:
D namely, from the .xxiiii. daye of the
nynth moneth, vnto the daye that the fo&ubar;dacyon
of the Lordes temple was layed:
marck it well, note is not þe; sede yet in the barne?
haue not the vynes, the fyggetrees, the
pomgranates, and olyue trees bene yet vnfrutefull?
but from thys daye forth, I shal
make them to prospere.
Moreouer, the .xxiiii. daye of the moneth
came the worde of the Lorde vnto Aggeus
agayne, say&ebar;ge: Speake to Zorobabell the
prynce of Iuda, ∧ saye: I wyll shake both
heauen ∧ earth, and ouerthrowe þe; seate of
the kyngdomes, yee, ∧ destroye the myghty
kyngdome of the Heathen. I wyll ouerthrowe
the charrettes, ∧ those that syt vp&obar;
them, so that both horse and man shall fall
downe, euery man thorow his neyghbours
swerde. And as for the, O Zorobabel (sayth
the Lorde of hoostes) thou sonne of Salathiel
my seruaunt: I wyll take the (sayeth
the Lorde) at the same tyme, and make the
as a seale, for I haue chosen the, sayeth the
Lorde of hostes.
