Haggai 2
1 In the seventh [month], on the twenty-first of the month, a word of YHWH has been 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 “Now speak to Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua son of Josedech, the high priest, and to the remnant 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 among you has been left that saw this house in its former glory? And what are you seeing it now? Is it not, compared with it, 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 strong, O Zerubbabel,” A declaration of YHWH, “And be strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest, And be strong, all you people of the land,” A declaration of YHWH, “And do, for I [am] with you,” A declaration of YHWH 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 “The thing that I covenanted with you, In your coming forth from Egypt, And My Spirit is remaining in your midst, do not fear.”
[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 said YHWH of Hosts: “Yet once more—it [is] a little, And I am shaking the heavens and the 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 have shaken all the nations, And they have come [to] the desire of all the nations, And I have filled this house [with] glory,” said YHWH 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 “The silver [is] Mine, and the gold [is] Mine,” A declaration of YHWH of Hosts.
銀子是我的，金子也是我的──萬軍上主的斷語。
9 “Greater is the glory of this latter house, Than of the former,” said YHWH of Hosts, “And I give peace in this place,” A declaration of YHWH 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 Darius, a word of YHWH has been by the hand of 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 said YHWH of Hosts: “Now ask the priests of 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 Behold, [when] one carries holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and he has come with his skirt against the bread, or against the stew, or against the wine, or against the oil, or against any food—is it holy?” And the priests answer and say, “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 says, “If the unclean of body comes against any of these, is it unclean?” And the priests answer and say, “It is unclean.”
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 answers and says, “So [is] this people, and so [is] this nation before Me,” a declaration of YHWH, “and so [is] every work of their hands, and that which they bring near there—it is unclean.
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, please lay [it] to your heart, From this day and onward, Before the laying of stone to stone in the temple of YHWH.
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 From that time [one] has come to a heap of twenty, And it has been ten, He has come to the wine vat to draw out fifty measures, And it has been 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 I have struck you with blasting, And with mildew, and with hail—All the work of your hands, And there is none of you with Me,” A declaration of YHWH.
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 “Now set [it] to your heart, from this day and onward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth [month], even from the day that the temple of YHWH has been founded, set [it] to 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 Is the seed yet in the barn? And until now the vine and the fig, And the pomegranate, and the olive-tree, Have not borne—from this day I bless.”
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 there is a word of YHWH 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 governor of Judah, saying, I am shaking the heavens and the earth,
你要向猶大省長則魯巴貝耳說：我要震動天地，
22 And have overturned the throne of kingdoms, And I have destroyed the strength of kingdoms of the nations, And overturned chariot and its charioteers, And horses and their riders have come down, Each 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,” a declaration of YHWH of Hosts, “I take you, Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, My servant,” A declaration of YHWH, “And have set you as a signet, For I have fixed on you,” A declaration of YHWH 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。
