Haggai 2
1 And in the seventh month, on the twenty-first of the month, the word of the Lord came, by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying:
[第二篇演詞]七月二十一日，上主有話藉哈蓋先知說：
2 Speak to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, the governor of Judah, and to Jesus the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the remainder of the people, saying:
「請你對沙耳提耳的兒子猶大省長則魯巴貝耳，和約匝達克的兒子大司祭耶叔亞以及遺民說：
3 Who is left among you, who saw this house in its first glory? And how do you see it now? Is it not, in comparison to that, as nothing in your eyes?
你們這些遺民中，凡見這座殿在昔日的光榮之中的，你們現在看它怎樣﹖在你們眼中，豈不是如沒有一樣﹖
4 And now be strengthened, Zerubbabel, says the Lord. And be strengthened, Jesus the son of Jehozadak, the high priest. And be strengthened, all people of the land, says the Lord of hosts. For I am with you, says the Lord of hosts.
但是如今，則魯巴貝耳，努力!──上主的斷語。約匝達克的兒子大司祭耶叔亞，努力! 境內全體民眾，努力! ──上主的斷語。努力工作吧! 因為我與你們同在──上主的斷語。
5 And act according to the word that I planted with you when you departed from the land of Egypt. And my Spirit will be in your midst. Do not be afraid.
[這是我在你們出離埃及時，與你們訂立的盟約：]我的神常存在你們中間，你們不要害怕。
6 For thus says the Lord of hosts: There is yet one brief time, and I will move heaven and earth, and the sea and the dry land.
因為上主的斷語這樣說：再過不久，我要震動天地海陸，
7 And I will move all nations. And the Desired of all nations will arrive. And I will fill this house with glory, says the Lord of hosts.
震勫萬民，使萬民的珍寶來；我必使這殿宇充滿榮耀──萬軍的上主說。
8 Mine is the silver, and mine is the gold, says the Lord of hosts.
銀子是我的，金子也是我的──萬軍上主的斷語。
9 Great shall be the glory of this house, the last more than the first, says the Lord of hosts. And in this place, I will bestow peace, says the Lord of hosts.
這座後起的殿的光榮，比以前那座有的還要大──萬軍的上主；在此地我要頒賜和平──萬軍上主的斷語。 [第三篇演詞]
10 On the twenty-fourth of the ninth month, in the second year of king Darius, the word of the Lord came to Haggai the prophet, saying:
達理阿王二年九月二十四日，上主的話傳給哈蓋先知說：
11 Thus says the Lord of hosts: the priests question the law, saying:
萬軍的上主這樣說：請你們去詢問司祭們有關法律的事說：「
12 If a man will have carried sanctified flesh in the pocket of his garment, and the top of it touches his bread, or appetizer, or wine, or oil, or any food, shall it be sanctified? But the priests responded by saying, “No.”
如果有人用自己的衣襟攜帶了聖肉，然後又用自己的衣襟接觸麵餅，或湯，或酒，或油，或其他的食物，這些東西是否也成了聖的﹖」司祭們答說：「不。」
13 And Haggai said, “If the polluted in soul will have touched any of all these things, shall it be contaminated?” And the priests responded and said, “It shall be contaminated.”
哈蓋又問說：「如果一個因接觸屍體而陷於不潔的人，撫摸了這些東西，是否這些東西也成了不潔的﹖」司祭們答說：「成了不潔的。」
14 And Haggai answered and he said: Such is this people, and such is this nation before my face, says the Lord, and such is all the work of their hands. And so all that they have offered there has been contaminated.
於是哈蓋答說：「這百姓就是這樣，這民族在我面前就是這樣，──上主的斷語；他們手中的一切工作都是這樣；凡他們在這裏所獻的，都是不潔的。
15 And now, consider in your hearts, from this day and beyond, before stone may be placed upon stone in the temple of the Lord:
但是現在，從今日起回頭想想：在上主的殿還沒有石上壘石以前，
16 when you approached a pile of twenty measures, and they became ten, and you entered to the press, to press out fifty bottles, and they became twenty,
那時時你們怎樣﹖有人來收二十個斗，卻只有十斗，有人來到榨酒池舀五十桶，卻只有二十桶。
17 how I struck you with a burning wind, and a mildew, and a hailstorm, all the works of your hand, yet there was no one among you who returned to me, says the Lord.
我以熱風，以霉爛，以冰雹打搫了你們1中的一切工作，而你們仍沒有歸向我──上主的斷語。
18 Set your hearts from this day and into the future, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, from the day that the foundations of the temple of the Lord have been uttered, and place it upon your heart.
請你們由今日起，留心住意，即由九月二十四日，上主的殿宇的奠基日起，請你們留心住意：
19 Has the seed been germinated yet? And has the vine, and the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree still not flourished? From this day on, I will bless you.
倉房裏不是還沒有種子嗎﹖葡萄樹、無花果樹、石榴樹和橄欖樹，不是還沒有結果子嗎﹖從今天起，我必要祝福你! 」 [第四篇演詞]
20 And the word of the Lord came a second time to Haggai, on the twenty-fourth of the month, saying:
同年二十四日，上主火話再傳給哈蓋說：
21 Speak to Zerubbabel the governor of Judah, saying: I will move both heaven and earth.
你要向猶大省長則魯巴貝耳說：我要震動天地，
22 And I will overturn the throne of kingdoms, and I will crush the strength of the kingdom of the Gentiles. And I will overturn the four-horse chariot, and its rider; and the horses and their riders shall be brought down, a man by the sword of his brother.
推翻列國的寶座；我要毀滅邦異邦列國的勢力，我要推翻戰車和駕車的人，戰馬與騎士個個必倒在自己兄弟的刀下。
23 In that day, says the Lord of hosts, I will take you, Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, my servant, says the Lord, and will set you like a seal, for I have chosen you, says the Lord of hosts.
在那一天──萬軍上主的斷語──沙耳提耳的兒子，我的僕人則魯巴貝耳! 我必提拔你──上主的斷語──我必以你作印璽，因為我揀選了你──萬軍上主的斷語。
