哈該書 1
1 大流士王第二年六月初一日，耶和華的話藉先知哈該向猶大省長撒拉鐵的兒子所羅巴伯和約撒答的兒子大祭司約書亞說：
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 萬軍之耶和華如此說：「這百姓說，建造耶和華殿的時候尚未來到。」
Thus saith the Lord of hosts, saying: This people saith: The time is not yet come for building the house of the Lord.
3 那時耶和華的話臨到先知哈該說：
And the word of the Lord came by the hand of Aggeus the prophet, saying:
4 「這殿仍然荒涼，你們自己還住天花板的房屋嗎？
Is it time for you to dwell in ceiled houses, and this house lie desolate?
5 現在萬軍之耶和華如此說：你們要省察自己的行為。
And now thus saith the Lord of hosts: Set your hearts to consider your ways.
6 你們撒的種多，收的卻少；你們吃，卻不得飽；喝，卻不得足；穿衣服，卻不得暖；得工錢的，將工錢裝在破漏的囊中。」
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 萬軍之耶和華如此說：「你們要省察自己的行為。
Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Set Your hearts upon your ways:
8 你們要上山取木料，建造這殿，我就因此喜樂，且得榮耀。這是耶和華說的。
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 你們盼望多得，所得的卻少；你們收到家中，我就吹去。這是為甚麼呢？因為我的殿荒涼，你們各人卻顧自己的房屋。這是萬軍之耶和華說的。
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 所以為你們的緣故，天就不降甘露，地也不出土產。
Therefore the heavens over you were stayed from giving dew, and the earth was hindered from yielding her fruits:
11 我命乾旱臨到地土、山岡、五穀、新酒，和油，並地上的出產、人民、牲畜，以及人手一切勞碌得來的。」
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 那時，撒拉鐵的兒子所羅巴伯和約撒答的兒子大祭司約書亞，並剩下的百姓，都聽從耶和華－他們上帝的話和先知哈該奉耶和華－他們上帝差來所說的話；百姓也在耶和華面前存敬畏的心。
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 耶和華的使者哈該奉耶和華差遣對百姓說：「耶和華說：我與你們同在。」
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 耶和華激動猶大省長撒拉鐵的兒子所羅巴伯和約撒答的兒子大祭司約書亞，並剩下之百姓的心，他們就來為萬軍之耶和華－他們上帝的殿做工。
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 這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.
