Haggai 1
1 In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, on the first day of the month, a word of YHWH has been by the hand of Haggai the prophet, to Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua son of Josedech, the high 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 spoke YHWH of Hosts, saying, This people—they have said, The time has not come, The time the house of YHWH [is] to be built.”
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 And there is a word of YHWH by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying,
於是上主的話藉哈蓋先知說：「
4 “Is it time for you to dwell in your covered houses, And this house to 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 And now, thus said YHWH of Hosts: “Set your heart to your ways.
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 You have sown much, and brought in little, To eat, and not to satiety, To drink, and not to drunkenness, To clothe, and none has heat, And he who is hiring himself out, Is hiring himself for a bag pierced through.”
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 said YHWH of Hosts: “Set your heart to your ways.
萬軍的上主這樣說：你們應考慮一下你們的行逕!
8 Go up the mountain, and you have brought in wood, And build the house, and I am pleased with it. And I am honored,” said YHWH.
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 “Looking for much, and behold, little, And you brought [it] home, and I blew on it—why?” A declaration of YHWH of Hosts, “Because of My house that is desolate, And you are running—each to his 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, over you the heavens have refrained from dew, And the land has refrained its increase.
為此，上主對你們停降雨露，大地也停止了出產，
11 And I proclaim drought on the land, And on the mountains, and on the grain, And on the new wine, and on the oil, And on what the ground brings forth, And on man, and on beast, And on all labor 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 And Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and Joshua son of Josedech, the high priest, and all the remnant of the people, listen to the voice of their God YHWH, and to the words of Haggai the prophet, as their God YHWH had sent him, and the people are afraid of the face of YHWH.
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 And Haggai, messenger of YHWH, in messages of YHWH, speaks to the people, saying, “I [am] with you, a declaration of YHWH.”
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 YHWH stirs up the spirit of Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua son of Josedech, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people, and they come in, and work in the house of YHWH of Hosts 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 twenty-fourth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.
時在達理阿王二年六月二十四日。
