< Haggai 2 >
1 In the seuenthe monethe, in the oon and twentith dai of the monethe, the word of the Lord was maad in the hond of Aggei, the profete, and seide,
[第二篇演詞]七月二十一日,上主有話藉哈蓋先知說:
2 Speke thou to Sorobabel, the sone of Salatiel, the duyk of Juda, and to Jhesu, the gret preest, the sone of Josedech, and to othere of the puple, and seie thou,
「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 in you is left, that sai this hous in his firste glorie? and what seen ye this now? whether it is not thus, as if it be not bifore youre iyen?
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, Sorobabel, be thou coumfortid, seith the Lord, and Jhesu, greet preest, sone of Josedech, be thou coumfortid, and al the puple of the lond, be thou coumfortid, seith the Lord of oostis; and do ye, for Y am with you, seith the Lord of oostis.
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 that Y couenauntide with you, whanne ye wenten out of the lond of Egipt, and my Spirit schal be in the myddil of you.
[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 Nyle ye drede, for the Lord of oostis seith these thingis, Yit o litil thing is, and Y schal moue heuene, and erthe, and see, and drie lond;
因為上主的斷語這樣說:再過不久,我要震動天地海陸,
7 and Y schal moue alle folkis, and the desirid to alle folkis schal come; and Y schal fille this hous with glorie, seith the Lord of oostis.
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 Myn is siluer, and myn is gold, seith the Lord of oostes.
銀子是我的,金子也是我的──萬軍上主的斷語。
9 The glorie of this laste hous schal be greet, more than the firste, seith the Lord of oostis. And in this place Y schal yyue pees, seith the Lord of oostis.
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 In the foure and twentithe dai of the nynthe monethe, in the secounde yeer of kyng Daryus, the word of the Lord was maad to Aggei, the profete, and seide, The Lord God of oostis seith these thingis,
達理阿王二年九月二十四日,上主的話傳給哈蓋先知說:
11 Axe thou preestis the lawe, and seie thou,
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 takith halewyd fleisch in the hem of his clothing, and touchith of the hiynesse therof breed, ether potage, ether wyn, ether oile, ether ony mete, whether it schal be halewid? Sotheli preestis answeriden, and seiden, Nai.
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 Aggei seide, If a man defoulid in soule touchith of alle these thingis, whether it schal be defoulid? And prestis answeriden, and seiden, It schal be defoulid.
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 Aggei answeride, and seide, So is this puple, and so is this folc bifor my face, seith the Lord, and so is al werk of her hondis; and alle thingis whiche thei offren there, schulen be defoulid.
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 nowe putte ye youre hertis, fro this dai and aboue, bifor that a stoon on a stoon was put in temple of the Lord,
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 whanne ye wenten to an heep of twenti buischels, and there weren maad ten; ye entriden to the pressour, that ye schulden presse out fifti galouns, and there weren maad twenti.
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 Y smoot you with brennynge wynd; and with myldew, and hail, alle the werkis of youre hondis; and ther was noon in you that turnede ayen to me, seith the Lord.
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 Putte ye youre hertis fro this dai, and in to comynge, fro the foure and twentithe dai of the nynthe monethe, fro the dai in whiche foundementis of the temple of the Lord ben castun, putte ye on youre herte.
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 Whether now seed is in buriownyng? and yit vineyerd, and fige tre, and pomgarnade, and the tre of olyue flouride not.
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 Fro this dai Y schal blesse. And the word of the Lord was maad the secounde tyme to Aggei, in the foure and twentithe dai of the monethe,
同年二十四日,上主火話再傳給哈蓋說:
21 and seide, Spek thou to Sorobabel, duik of Juda, and seie thou, Y shal moue heuene and erthe togidere, and Y schal distrie the seet of rewmes,
你要向猶大省長則魯巴貝耳說:我要震動天地,
22 and Y schal al to-breke the strengthe of rewme of hethene men, and schal distrie a foure horsid carte, and the stiere therof; and horsis schulen go doun, and stieris of hem, a man bi swerd 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 dai, seith the Lord of oostis, thou Sorobabel, sone of Salatiel, my seruaunt, Y schal take thee, seith the Lord; and Y schal putte thee as a signet, for Y chees thee, seith the Lord of oostis.
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。
