Haggai 1
1 In the second yeere of King Darius, in the sixt moneth, the first day of the moneth, came ye worde of the Lord (by the ministery of the Prophet Haggai) vnto Zerubbabel the sonne of Shealtiel, a prince of Iudah, and to Iehoshua the sonne of Iehozadak the hie Priest, saying,
[第一篇演詞]達理阿王二年六月初一，有上主的話藉哈蓋先知傳給沙耳提耳的兒子猶大省長則魯巴貝耳，和約匝達克火兒子大司祭耶叔亞說：
2 Thus speaketh the Lord of hostes, saying, This people say, The time is not yet come, that the Lords House should be builded.
萬軍的上主這樣說：這百姓說：「建築上主的殿字的時候還沒有到! 」
3 Then came the worde of the Lord by the ministerie of the Prophet Haggai, saying,
於是上主的話藉哈蓋先知說：「
4 Is it time for your selues to dwell in your sieled houses, and this House lie waste?
當這座殿還尸一堆廢墟時，難道為你們就到了住有天花皮的房屋的時候﹖
5 Now therefore thus saith ye Lord of hostes, Consider your owne wayes in your hearts.
如今萬軍的上主這樣說：你們應細心考慮一下你們的行逕!
6 Ye haue sowen much, and bring in litle: ye eate, but ye haue not ynough: ye drinke, but ye are not filled: ye clothe you, but ye be not warme: and he that earneth wages, putteth the wages into a broken bagge.
你們播種的多，卻收割的少；你們吃，卻總吃不飽；你們喝，卻總喝不夠；你們穿衣，卻總不覺溫暖；賺了工資，無異尸將工資投了破囊。
7 Thus sayth the Lord of hostes, Consider your owne wayes in your hearts.
萬軍的上主這樣說：你們應考慮一下你們的行逕!
8 Goe vp to the mountaine, and bring wood, and build this House, and I wil be fauourable in it, and I will be glorified, sayth the Lord.
你們應上山去，搬運木材，建造殿宇! 葷到家時裏，我必因此喜悅，並發顯光榮──上主說。
9 Ye looked for much, and lo, it came to litle: and when ye brought it home, I did blowe vpon it. And why, sayth the Lord of hostes? Because of mine House that is waste, and ye runne euery man vnto his owne house.
你們期望豐收，看，反而歉收；你們運到家裏，我反把它吃散；這是為了什麼﹖──萬軍上主的斷語──是為了我的殿宇尚在荒廢，而你們竟各自趕造自己的房屋。
10 Therefore the heauen ouer you stayed it selfe from dewe, and the earth stayed her fruite.
為此，上主對你們停降雨露，大地也停止了出產，
11 And I called for a drought vpon the land, and vpon the mountaines, and vpon the corne, and vpon the wine, and vpon the oyle, vpon all that the ground bringeth foorth: both vpon men and vpon cattell, and vpon all the labour of the hands.
因為我向大地、群山、五穀、新油、田地的出產、人畜和手中的一切工作招來了旱災。」
12 When Zerubbabel the sonne of Shealtiel, and Iehoshua the sonne of Iehozadak the hie Priest with all the remnant of the people, heard the voyce of the Lord their God, and the wordes of the Prophet Haggai (as the Lord their God had sent him) then the people did feare before the Lord.
於是沙耳提耳的兒子則魯巴貝耳的兒子，約匝達克的兒子大司祭耶叔亞，以及全體遺民都聽從了上主，他們天主的聲音，也聽從了上主，他們的天主給他們派遺來的哈蓋先知的話；因此百姓在上主面前都起了敬畏的心。
13 Then spake Haggai the Lords messenger in the Lords message vnto the people, saying, I am with you, sayth the Lord.
上主的使者哈蓋就以上主使者的名義向人民說：我與你們同在──上主的斷語。
14 And the Lord stirred vp the spirite of Zerubbabel, the sonne of Shealtiel a prince of Iudah, and the spirit of Iehoshua the sonne of Iehozadak the hie Priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people, and they came, and did the worke in the House of the Lord of hostes their God.
於是上主振興起了沙耳提耳的兒子猶大省長則魯巴貝耳的精神，以及約匝達克的兒子大司祭耶叔亞的，和全體遺民的精神，他們便都上前來興工建造萬軍的上主，他們的天主的聖殿。
15 In the foure and twentieth day of the sixt moneth, in the second yeere of King Darius,
時在達理阿王二年六月二十四日。
