Haggai 1
1 In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, hath a word of Jehovah been by the hand of Haggai the prophet, unto Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and unto Joshua son of Josedech, the high priest, saying:
大流士王第二年六月初一日，耶和華的話藉先知哈該向猶大省長撒拉鐵的兒子所羅巴伯和約撒答的兒子大祭司約書亞說：
2 Thus spake Jehovah of Hosts, saying: This people! — they have said, 'The time hath not come, The time the house of Jehovah [is] to be built.'
萬軍之耶和華如此說：「這百姓說，建造耶和華殿的時候尚未來到。」
3 And there is a word of Jehovah by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying:
那時耶和華的話臨到先知哈該說：
4 Is it time for you — you! To dwell in your covered houses, And this house to lie waste?
「這殿仍然荒涼，你們自己還住天花板的房屋嗎？
5 And now, thus said Jehovah of Hosts, Set your heart to your ways.
現在萬軍之耶和華如此說：你們要省察自己的行為。
6 Ye have sown much, and brought in little, To eat, and not to satiety, To drink, and not to drunkenness, To clothe, and none hath heat, And he who is hiring himself out, Is hiring himself for a bag pierced through.
你們撒的種多，收的卻少；你們吃，卻不得飽；喝，卻不得足；穿衣服，卻不得暖；得工錢的，將工錢裝在破漏的囊中。」
7 Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Set your heart to your ways.
萬軍之耶和華如此說：「你們要省察自己的行為。
8 Go up the mountain, and ye have brought in wood, And build the house, and I am pleased with it. And I am honoured, said Jehovah.
你們要上山取木料，建造這殿，我就因此喜樂，且得榮耀。這是耶和華說的。
9 Looking for much, and lo, little, And ye brought [it] home, and I blew on it, Wherefore? — an affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, Because of My house that is waste, And ye are running — each to his house,
你們盼望多得，所得的卻少；你們收到家中，我就吹去。這是為甚麼呢？因為我的殿荒涼，你們各人卻顧自己的房屋。這是萬軍之耶和華說的。
10 Therefore, over you refrained have the heavens from dew, And the land hath refrained its increase.
所以為你們的緣故，天就不降甘露，地也不出土產。
11 And I proclaim draught on the land, And on the mountains, and on the corn, And on the new wine, and on the oil, And on what the ground doth bring forth, And on man, and on beast, And on all labour of the hands.'
我命乾旱臨到地土、山岡、五穀、新酒，和油，並地上的出產、人民、牲畜，以及人手一切勞碌得來的。」
12 And Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and Joshua son of Josedech, the high priest, and all the remnant of the people, do hearken to the voice of Jehovah their God, and unto the words of Haggai the prophet, as Jehovah their God had sent him, and the people are afraid of the face of Jehovah.
那時，撒拉鐵的兒子所羅巴伯和約撒答的兒子大祭司約書亞，並剩下的百姓，都聽從耶和華－他們上帝的話和先知哈該奉耶和華－他們上帝差來所說的話；百姓也在耶和華面前存敬畏的心。
13 And Haggai, messenger of Jehovah, in messages of Jehovah, speaketh to the people, saying: 'I [am] with you, an affirmation of Jehovah.'
耶和華的使者哈該奉耶和華差遣對百姓說：「耶和華說：我與你們同在。」
14 And Jehovah doth stir 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 do work in the house of Jehovah of Hosts their God,
耶和華激動猶大省長撒拉鐵的兒子所羅巴伯和約撒答的兒子大祭司約書亞，並剩下之百姓的心，他們就來為萬軍之耶和華－他們上帝的殿做工。
15 in the twenty and fourth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.
這是在大流士王第二年六月二十四日。
