Haggai 2
1 In the seventh month, on the twenty-first of the month, came the word of Yahweh, 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, I pray thee, unto Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, pasha of Judah, and unto Jehoshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, —and unto 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 is there among you that is left, that saw this house, in its former glory? And how do ye see it now? Is it not, in comparison with 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 Now, therefore—Be strong, O Zerubbabel, urgeth Yahweh, and be strong, O Jehoshua son of Jehozadak the high priest, and be strong, all ye people of the land, urgeth Yahweh, and work; For, I, am with you, Declareth Yahweh 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 very thing that I solemnized with you, when ye came forth out of the land of Egypt, That, my spirit abiding in your midst, ye should 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, saith Yahweh of hosts, Yet once, a little, it is, —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 will shake all the nations, and the delight of all the nations, shall come in, —and I will fill this house with glory, saith Yahweh 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 the gold, Declareth Yahweh of hosts:
銀子是我的，金子也是我的──萬軍上主的斷語。
9 Greater shall be the last glory of this house than the first, saith Yahweh of hosts, —and, in this place, will I give prosperity, Declareth Yahweh 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, came the word of Yahweh unto 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, saith Yahweh of hosts, —I pray you, ask the priests a direction, 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 carry holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and then toucheth with his skirt bread or a cooked dish or wine or oil or any food, shall it be holy? And the priests answered and said, 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 Then said Haggai, If one who is defiled for a dead person touch any of these, shall it be defiled? And the priests answered and said, It shall be defiled.
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 Then answered Haggai and said, So, is this people and, so, is this nation before me, Declareth Yahweh, and, so, is every work of their hands, —therefore, whatsoever they offer there, is, defiled.
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 Now, therefore, I pray you apply your heart, from this day and upwards, —So long as there had not been laid one stone upon another in the temple of Yahweh,
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 So long were things thus, that, on coming unto a heap of twenty, then was it found to be ten, —on coming unto the vat to draw off fifty measures, then were there found to be 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 smote you with blight and with mildew and with hail, in all the work of your hands, —Yet ye did not return unto me, Declareth Yahweh.
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 Apply your heart, I pray you, from this day and upwards, —from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, even from the day when was founded the temple of Yahweh, apply 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 store-house? Howbeit, though at present neither, the vine nor the fig-tree nor the pomegranate nor the olive tree, hath brought forth, from this very day, will I 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 Then came the word of Yahweh, the second time unto 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 thou unto Zerubbabel, pasha 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 I will overturn the throne of kingdoms, and will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations, —and I will overturn the chariots and them who ride therein, and horses and their riders, shall come down, every 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 On that day, declareth Yahweh of hosts, will I take thee, O Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel—my servant, declareth Yahweh, and will set thee as a signet-ring; For, thee, have I chosen, Declareth Yahweh 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。
