< ハガイ書 2 >
1 七月其月の二十一日ヱホバの言預言者ハガイによりて臨めり曰く
In the seventh month, in the one and twentieth day of the month, came the word of the LORD by the prophet Haggai, saying,
2 シヤルテルの子ユダの方伯ゼルバベルとヨザダクの子祭司の長ヨシユアおよびその殘れる一切の民に告よ
Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and to the residue of the people, saying,
3 なんぢら遺れる者の中この殿の從前の榮光を見しものは誰ぞや 今これを如何に見るや かの殿にくらぶれば是は汝らの目に何もなきが如く見ゆるにあらずや
Who is left among you that saw this house in her first glory? and how do you see it now? is it not in your eyes in comparison of it as nothing?
4 ヱホバ曰たまふゼルバベルよ自ら強くせよ ヨザダクの子祭司の長ヨシユアよ自ら強くせよ ヱホバ言たまふ この地の民よ自らつよくしてはたらけ 我なんぢらとともに在り 萬軍のヱホバこれを言ふ
Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, says the LORD; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest; and be strong, all you people of the land, says the LORD, and work: for I am with you, says the LORD of hosts:
5 汝らがエジプトよりいでし時わがなんぢらに約せし言およびわが靈なほなんぢらの中に留れり 懼るるなかれ
According to the word that I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt, so my spirit remains among you: fear you not.
6 萬軍のヱホバかくいひたまふ いま一度しばらくありてわれ天と地と海と陸とを震動はん
For thus says the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;
7 又われ萬國を震動はん また萬國の願ふところのもの來らん 又われ榮光をもてこの殿に充滿さん 萬軍のヱホバこれを言ふ
And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, says the LORD of hosts.
8 銀も我ものなり 金もわが物なりと萬軍のヱホバいひたまふ
The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, says the LORD of hosts.
9 この殿の後の榮光は從前の榮光より大ならんと萬軍のヱホバいひたまふ この處においてわれ平康をあたへんと萬軍のヱホバいひたまふ
The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, says the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, says the LORD of hosts.
10 ダリヨスの二年九月二十四日ヱホバのことば預言者ハガイによりて臨めり曰く
In the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying,
11 萬軍のヱホバかく曰たまふ 律法につきて祭司に問ふて曰ふべし
Thus says the LORD of hosts; Ask now the priests concerning the law, saying,
12 人衣の裾にて聖肉を携へたらんにその裾もしパン或は羮あるひは酒あるひは油あるひは他の食物に捫らばそれらは聖ものとなるや 祭司たち答へて曰けるはしからず
If one bear holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and with his skirt do touch bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any meat, shall it be holy? And the priests answered and said, No.
13 ハガイまたいひけるは屍體に捫りて汚れしもの若これらの物にさはらば其ものはけがるべきや 祭司等こたへて曰けるは汚れん
Then said Haggai, If one that is unclean by a dead body touch any of these, shall it be unclean? And the priests answered and said, It shall be unclean.
14 ここに於てハガイ答へて曰けるはヱホバ曰たまふ 我前此民もかくの如くまた此國もかくの如し 又其手の一切のわざもかくのごとく彼等がその處に獻ぐるものもけがれたるものなり
Then answered Haggai, and said, So is this people, and so is this nation before me, says the LORD; and so is every work of their hands; and that which they offer there is unclean.
15 また今われ汝らに乞 この日より以前すなはちヱホバの殿にて石の上に石の置れざりし時を憶念べし
And now, I pray you, consider from this day and upward, from before a stone was laid on a stone in the temple of the LORD:
16 かの時には二十舛もあるべき麥束につきてわづかに十を得 また酒榨につきて五十桶汲んとせしにただ二十を得たるのみ
Since those days were, when one came to an heap of twenty measures, there were but ten: when one came to the fat press for to draw out fifty vessels out of the press, there were but twenty.
17 汝が手をもて爲せる一切の事に於てわれ不實穗と朽腐穗と雹を以てなんぢらを撃り されど汝ら我にかへらざりき ヱホバこれを言ふ
I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in all the labors of your hands; yet you turned not to me, says the LORD.
18 なんぢらこの日より以前を憶念みよ 即ち九月二十四日よりヱホバの殿の基を置し日までをおもひ見よ
Consider now from this day and upward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, even from the day that the foundation of the LORD’s temple was laid, consider it.
19 種子なほ倉にあるや 葡萄の樹 無花果の樹 石榴の樹 橄欖の樹もいまだ實を結ばざりき 此日よりのちわれ汝らを惠まん
Is the seed yet in the barn? yes, as yet the vine, and the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree, has not brought forth: from this day will I bless you.
20 此月の二十四日にヱホバのことば再びハガイに臨めり曰く
And again the word of the LORD came to Haggai in the four and twentieth day of the month, saying,
21 ユダの方伯ゼルバベルに告よ われ天地を震動ん
Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will shake the heavens and the earth;
22 列國の位を倒さん また異邦の諸國の權勢を滅さん 又車および之に駕る者を倒さん 馬および之に騎る者もおのおの其伴侶の劍によりてたふれん
And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the heathen; and I will overthrow the chariots, and those that ride in them; and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother.
23 萬軍のヱホバ曰たまはくシヤルテルの子わが僕ゼルバベルよヱホバいふその日に我なんぢを取りなんぢを印の如くにせん そはわれ汝をえらびたればなり 萬軍のヱホバこれを言ふ
In that day, says the LORD of hosts, will I take you, O Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, said the LORD, and will make you as a signet: for I have chosen you, says the LORD of hosts.
