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, on the first day of the sixth month, this message from the Lord came through Haggai the prophet to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest:
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。」
The Lord of hosts says: The people say that the time has not yet come to rebuild the temple of the Lord.
3 那時耶和華的話臨到先知哈該說：
Then this message from the Lord came to Haggai the prophet:
4 「這殿仍然荒涼，你們自己還住天花板的房屋嗎？
Is it a time for you yourselves to live in your own well-roofed houses, while this temple lies in ruins?
5 現在萬軍之耶和華如此說：你們要省察自己的行為。
The Lord of hosts says: Consider your past experiences.
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 sow much, but bring in little; you eat, but you do not have enough; you drink, but are not filled; you clothe yourselves, but not enough to be warm; and those who earn wages, put those wages in a bag with holes.
7 萬軍之耶和華如此說：「你們要省察自己的行為。
The Lord of hosts says: Consider your experiences.
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 mountains, and bring wood and rebuild the temple; then I will be pleased with it, and I will reveal my glory. The Lord says:
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 looked for much, and it came to little; and when you brought the harvest home, I blew it away. Why? The Lord of hosts says: Because my temple lies in ruins, while you shelter in your own houses.
10 所以為你們的緣故，天就不降甘露，地也不出土產。
The heavens withhold the dew, and the earth withholds its fruit,
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 have called forth a drought upon the land and upon the mountains, and upon the grain and the new wine and the oil and upon that which the ground brings forth, and upon people and animals, and upon all the labor of your 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 Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and Joshua the son of Jehozadak the high priest, with all the rest of the people, obeyed the command of the Lord their God and the words of Haggai the prophet, as the Lord their God had sent him to them. They showed proper respect for 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。」
Haggai, the prophet of the Lord, as the Lord commanded him, told the people: “The Lord says: I am with you.”
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 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 rest of the people, so that they came and worked on the temple 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 twenty-fourth day of the sixth month. In the second year of Darius the king,
