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, in the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came by the hand of Aggeus the prophet, to Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, governor of Juda, and to Jesus the son of Josedec 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 saith the Lord of hosts, saying: This people saith: The time is not yet come for building the house of the Lord.
3 那时耶和华的话临到先知哈该说：
And the word of the Lord came by the hand of Aggeus 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 time for you to dwell in ceiled houses, and this house lie desolate?
5 现在万军之耶和华如此说：你们要省察自己的行为。
And now thus saith the Lord of hosts: Set your hearts to consider your ways.
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。”
You have sowed much, and brought in little: you have eaten, but have not had enough: you have drunk, but have not been filled with drink: you have clothed yourselves, but have not been warmed: and he that hath earned wages, put them 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 the Lord of hosts: Set Your hearts upon your ways:
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。
Go up to the mountain, bring timber, and build the house: and it shall be acceptable to me, and I shall be glorified, saith the Lord.
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。
You have looked for more, and behold it became less, and you brought it home, and I blowed it away: why, saith the Lord of hosts? because my house is desolate, and you make haste 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。
Therefore the heavens over you were stayed from giving dew, and the earth was hindered from yielding her fruits:
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 called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the corn, and upon the wine, and upon the oil, and upon all that the ground bringeth forth, and upon men, and upon beasts, 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 Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, and Jesus the son of Josedec the high priest, and all the remnant of the people hearkened to the voice of the Lord their God, and to the words of Aggeus the prophet, as the Lord their God sent him to them: and the people feared before the Lord.
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。”
And Aggeus the messenger of the Lord, as one of the messengers of the Lord, spoke, saying to the people: I am with you, saith the Lord.
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。
And the Lord stirred up the spirit of Zorobabel the son of Salathiel governor of Juda, and the spirit of Jesus the son of Josedec the high priest, and the spirit of all the rest of the people: and they went in, and did the work in the house of the Lord of hosts their God.
15 这是在大流士王第二年六月二十四日。
In the four and twentieth day of the month, in the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king, they began.
