< Haggai 2 >

1 In the seventh [month] on [day] twenty and one of the month it 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 Say please to Zerubbabel [the] son of Shealtiel [the] governor of Judah and to Joshua [the] son of Jehozadak the priest great 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 [is] the [one who] remains who he saw the house this in splendor its former and what? [are] you seeing it now ¿ not [is] as it as nothing in view your.
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 - [the] utterance of Yahweh and be strong O Joshua [the] son of Jehozadak the priest great and be strong O all [the] people of the land [the] utterance of Yahweh and work that I [am] with you [the] utterance of 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 word which I cut with you when came out you from Egypt and spirit my [is] standing in midst of you may not you 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 he says Yahweh of hosts yet one [time] [is] a little it and I [am] about to shake the heavens and the earth and the sea and the dry ground.
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 they will come [the] precious thing of all the nations and I will fill the house this splendor he says 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 [belongs] to Me the silver and [belongs] to me the gold [the] utterance of Yahweh of hosts.
銀子是我的,金子也是我的──萬軍上主的斷語。
9 Great it will be [the] splendor of the house this latter more than the former he says Yahweh of hosts and in the place this I will give peace [the] utterance of 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 [day] twenty and four of the ninth [month] in year two of Darius it came [the] word of Yahweh 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 he says Yahweh of hosts ask please the priests instruction 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 There! - he will carry someone flesh of holiness in [the] skirt of garment his and he will touch with skirt his bread and cooked food and wine and oil and every food ¿ will it become holy and they answered the priests and they 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 And he said Haggai if he will touch a [person] unclean of a corpse all these [things] ¿ will it become unclean and they answered the priests and they said it will become 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 he answered Haggai and he said [is] thus the people this and [is] thus the nation this before me [the] utterance of Yahweh and [is] thus all [the] work of hands their and [that] which they will bring near there [is] unclean it.
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 therefore set please heart your from the day this and up-wards from before put a stone to a stone 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 From when were they someone came to a heap of twenty [measures] and it was ten someone came to the wine vat to draw fifty [measures] a winepress and it was 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 struck you with blight and with mildew and with hail all [the] work of hands your and not you to me [the] utterance of 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 Set please heart your from the day this and up-wards from day twenty and four of the ninth [month] from the day when it was founded [the] temple of Yahweh set heart your.
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 ¿ Still [is] the seed in the granary and to the vine and the fig tree and the pomegranate and [the] tree of the olive not it has borne [fruit] from the day this I will 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 it came [the] word of Yahweh - a second [time] to Haggai on [day] twenty and four of the month saying.
同年二十四日,上主火話再傳給哈蓋說:
21 Say to Zerubbabel [the] governor of Judah saying I [am] about to shake 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 overthrow [the] throne of kingdoms and I will destroy [the] strength of [the] kingdoms of the nations and I will overthrow chariotry and riders its and they will go down horses and riders their each by [the] sword of brother his.
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 the day that [the] utterance of Yahweh of hosts I will take you O Zerubbabel [the] son of Shealtiel servant my [the] utterance of Yahweh and I will make you like signet-ring for you I have chosen [the] utterance of 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。
