< 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, on the one and twentieth day of the month, came the word of Jehovah 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 remnant 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 there left among you, That saw this house In its former glory? And what do ye see it now? Is it not as nothing in your eyes?
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, saith Jehovah; And be strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high-priest; And be strong, O all ye people of the land, saith Jehovah, and work! For I am with you, saith Jehovah 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
This is the covenant which I made with you when ye came out of Egypt, And my spirit remaineth among you: Fear ye 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 saith Jehovah of hosts: Yet once more, in a short time, I will shake the heavens and the earth, 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
I will shake all the nations, And here shall come the precious things of all the nations; And I will fill this house with glory, Saith Jehovah 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
Mine is the silver and mine the gold, Saith Jehovah 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
Greater shall be the glory of this latter house than of the former, Saith Jehovah of hosts; And in this place will I give peace, Saith Jehovah 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
On the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of Jehovah 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 saith Jehovah of hosts: Ask now the law from the priests, 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 a man carry holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and with his skirt touch bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any food, 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 a man unclean by a dead body touch any of these things, 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, saith Jehovah; And so is all the 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 [[how it hath gone with you]] From that day and upward, From the time before one stone was laid upon another in the temple of Jehovah.
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 that time one hath come to a heap of twenty measures, And there were but ten; One hath come to a vat to draw out fifty vessels from the wine-press, And 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 have smitten you with blasting, with mildew, and with hail, Even all the works of your hands; Yet none among you hath turned to me, saith Jehovah.
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, I pray you, From that day and upward, From the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, From the day when the foundation of the temple of Jehovah was laid, Consider ye!
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 there yet seed in the barn? Yea, as yet the vine, and the fig-tree, and pomegranate, and the olive-tree have not borne. But 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 the word of Jehovah came the second time to Haggai, on 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, the governor of Judah, and say: — 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 thrones of kingdoms, And I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations, And I will overthrow the chariots, and those that ride in them, And the horses and their riders shall come down, One by the sword of the other.
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, saith Jehovah of hosts, I will take thee, O Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, my servant, saith Jehovah, And keep thee as a signet-ring; For thee have I chosen, saith Jehovah of hosts.
