< Haggai 1 >

1 In the second year of king Darius, in the sixth month, on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came, by the hand of Haggai the prophet, to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Jesus the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, saying:
ダリヨス王の二年六月其月の一日にヱホバの言預言者ハガイによりてシヤルテルの子ユダの方伯ゼルバベルおよびヨザダクの子 祭司の長ヨシユアに臨めりいはく
2 Thus says the Lord of hosts, saying: This people claims that the time has not yet arrived for building the house of the Lord.
萬軍のヱホバかくいひたまふ是民はヱホバの殿を建べき時期未だ來らずといへり
3 But the word of the Lord came by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying:
ヱホバの言また預言者ハガイによりて臨めり曰く
4 Is it time for you to dwell in paneled houses, while this house is deserted?
此殿かく毀壞をれば汝等板をもてはれる家に居るべき時ならんや
5 And now, thus says the Lord of hosts: Set your hearts upon your ways.
されば今萬軍のヱホバかく曰たまふ 汝等おのれの行爲を省察べし
6 You sowed much and have brought in little. You consumed and have not been satisfied. You drank and have not been inebriated. You covered yourselves and have not been warmed. And whoever gathered wages, has put them in a bag with holes.
汝らは多く播ども収入るるところは少く食へども飽ことを得ず 飮ども滿足ことを得ず 衣れども暖きことを得ず 又工價を得るものは之を破れたる袋に入る
7 Thus says the Lord of hosts: Set your hearts upon your ways.
萬軍のヱホバまた曰たまふ 汝等おのれの行爲を省察べし
8 Ascend to the mountain, bring wood and build the house, and it shall be acceptable to me, and I shall be glorified, says the Lord.
山に上り木を携へ來て殿を建てよ さすれば我これを悦び又榮光を受ん ヱホバこれを言ふ
9 You have looked for more, and behold, it became less, and you brought it home, and I blew it away. What is the cause of this, says the Lord of hosts? It is because my house is desolate, yet you have hurried, each one to his own house.
なんぢら多く得んと望みたりしに反て少かりき 又汝等これを家に携へ歸りしとき我これを吹はらへり 萬軍のヱホバいひたまふ 是何故ぞや 是は我が殿破壞をるに汝等おのおの己の室に走り至ればなり
10 Because of this, the heavens over you have been prohibited from giving dew, and the earth has been prohibited from giving her sprouts.
この故になんぢらの上の天は雨露を止め地はその産物を止めたり
11 And I called a drought over the land, and over the mountains, and over the wheat, and over the wine, and over the oil, and whatever the soil would bring forth, and over men, and over beasts of burden, and over all the labor of hands.
且われ地にも山にも穀物にも新酒にも油にも地の生ずる物にも人にも家畜にも手のもろもろの工にもすべて毀壞を召きかうむらしめたり
12 And Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jesus the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and all the remnant of the people heeded the voice of the Lord their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet, just as the Lord their God sent him to them. And the people were fearful before the face of the Lord.
シヤルテルの子ゼルバベルとヨザダクの子祭司の長ヨシユアおよびその殘れるすべての民ともに其神ヱホバの聲と預言者ハガイの言に聽したがへり 是は其神ヱホバかれを遣したまひしに因る 民みなヱホバの前に敬畏たり
13 And Haggai, a messenger of the Lord among messengers of the Lord, spoke to the people, saying: the Lord says, “I am with you.”
時にヱホバの使者ハガイ、エホバの命により民に告て曰けるは我なんぢらと偕に在りとヱホバ曰たまふと
14 And the Lord stirred the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Jesus the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of the remainder of all the people. And they entered and performed work in the house of the Lord of hosts their God.
エホバ、シヤルテルの子ユダの方伯ゼルバベルの心とヨザダクの子 祭司の長ヨシユアの心およびその殘れるすべての民の心をふりおこしたまひければ彼等來りて其神萬軍のヱホバの殿にて工作を爲り
15 On the twenty-fourth day of the month, in the sixth month, in the second year of king Darius, they began.
これダリヨス王の二年六月二十四日なりき
