哈该书 1
1 大流士王第二年六月初一日，耶和华的话借先知哈该向犹大省长撒拉铁的儿子所罗巴伯和约撒答的儿子大祭司约书亚说：
In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, on the first of the month, came the word of Yahweh, by the hand of Haggai the prophet, unto Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, pasha of Judah, and unto Jehoshua son of Jehozadak the high priest, saying:
2 万军之耶和华如此说：“这百姓说，建造耶和华殿的时候尚未来到。”
Thus, speaketh Yahweh of hosts, saying, —This people, have said, Not yet hath come the time for the house of Yahweh to be built.
3 那时耶和华的话临到先知哈该说：
Therefore hath come the word of Yahweh by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying:
4 “这殿仍然荒凉，你们自己还住天花板的房屋吗？
Is it a time that, ye yourselves, should be dwelling in your own paneled houses? and, this house, be in ruins?
5 现在万军之耶和华如此说：你们要省察自己的行为。
Now, therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, —Apply your heart unto your own experience—
6 你们撒的种多，收的却少；你们吃，却不得饱；喝，却不得足；穿衣服，却不得暖；得工钱的，将工钱装在破漏的囊中。”
Ye have sown much, but have brought in little, have eaten, and not been filled, have drunk, and not been satisfied with drink, have clothed you, and none hath been warm, —and, he that hath hired himself out, hath put his wages into a bag with holes.
7 万军之耶和华如此说：“你们要省察自己的行为。
Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, —Apply your heart to your own experience:
8 你们要上山取木料，建造这殿，我就因此喜乐，且得荣耀。这是耶和华说的。
Ascend the mountain—and bring in wood and build the house, —that I may be pleased therewith and get myself glory, saith Yahweh.
9 你们盼望多得，所得的却少；你们收到家中，我就吹去。这是为什么呢？因为我的殿荒凉，你们各人却顾自己的房屋。这是万军之耶和华说的。
When ye looked for much, then lo! it came to little, when ye brought it home, then I did blow into it, — Because of what? Demandeth Yahweh of hosts, Because of my house, the which is in ruins, while ye keep running every man to his own house.
10 所以为你们的缘故，天就不降甘露，地也不出土产。
Wherefore—on your account, have the heavens, held back, dew, — and, the earth, held back her fruit;
11 我命干旱临到地土、山冈、五谷、新酒，和油，并地上的出产、人民、牲畜，以及人手一切劳碌得来的。”
And I have called for drought, upon the land and upon the mountains, and upon the corn and upon the new wine and upon the oil, and upon that which the ground, bringeth forth, —and upon man, and upon beast, and upon all the labour of the hands.
12 那时，撒拉铁的儿子所罗巴伯和约撒答的儿子大祭司约书亚，并剩下的百姓，都听从耶和华—他们 神的话和先知哈该奉耶和华—他们 神差来所说的话；百姓也在耶和华面前存敬畏的心。
Then hearkened Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and Jehoshua son of Jehozadak the high priest, and all the remnant of the people, unto the voice of Yahweh their God, and unto the words of Haggai the prophet, as Yahweh their God, had sent him, —and the people, stood in awe, before Yahweh.
13 耶和华的使者哈该奉耶和华差遣对百姓说：“耶和华说：我与你们同在。”
Then spake Haggai the messenger of Yahweh, in the message of Yahweh, to the people saying, —I, am with you, Declareth Yahweh.
14 耶和华激动犹大省长撒拉铁的儿子所罗巴伯和约撒答的儿子大祭司约书亚，并剩下之百姓的心，他们就来为万军之耶和华—他们 神的殿做工。
Thus did Yahweh, stir up—the spirit of Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, pasha of Judah, and the spirit of Jehoshua son of Jehozadak the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people, —and they came in and did service in the house of Yahweh of hosts their God:
15 这是在大流士王第二年六月二十四日。
on the twenty-fourth day of the month, in the sixth month, —in the second year of Darius the king.
