< ハガイ書 1 >

1 ダリヨス王の二年六月其月の一日にヱホバの言預言者ハガイによりてシヤルテルの子ユダの方伯ゼルバベルおよびヨザダクの子 祭司の長ヨシユアに臨めりいはく
In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, on the first day of the month, came the word of Jehovah by the prophet Haggai unto Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, saying,
2 萬軍のヱホバかくいひたまふ是民はヱホバの殿を建べき時期未だ來らずといへり
Thus speaketh Jehovah of hosts, saying, This people say, The time is not come, the time that Jehovah's house should be built.
3 ヱホバの言また預言者ハガイによりて臨めり曰く
And the word of Jehovah came by Haggai the prophet, saying,
4 此殿かく毀壞をれば汝等板をもてはれる家に居るべき時ならんや
Is it time for you that ye should dwell in your wainscoted houses, while this house lieth waste?
5 されば今萬軍のヱホバかく曰たまふ 汝等おのれの行爲を省察べし
And now thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Consider your ways.
6 汝らは多く播ども収入るところは少く食へども飽ことを得ず 飮ども滿足ことを得ず 衣れども暖きことを得ず 又工價を得るものは之を破れたる袋に入る
Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but are not satisfied; ye drink, but are not filled with drink; ye clothe yourselves, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages for a bag with holes.
7 萬軍のヱホバまた曰たまふ 汝等おのれの行爲を省察べし
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Consider your ways.
8 山に上り木を携へ來て殿を建てよ さすれば我これを悦び又榮光を受ん ヱホバこれを言ふ
Go up to the mountain and bring wood, and build the house, and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith Jehovah.
9 なんぢら多く得んと望みたりしに反て少かりき 又汝等これを家に携へ歸りしとき我これを吹はらへり 萬軍のヱホバいひたまふ 是何故ぞや 是は我が殿破壞をるに汝等おのおの己の室に走り至ればなり
Ye looked for much, and behold it was little; and when ye brought it home, I blew upon it. Wherefore? saith Jehovah of hosts. Because of my house that lieth waste, whilst ye run every man to his own house.
10 この故になんぢらの上の天は雨露を止め地はその產物を止めたり
Therefore over you the heavens withhold their dew, and the earth withholdeth its fruit.
11 且われ地にも山にも穀物にも新酒にも油にも地の生ずる物にも人にも家畜にも手のもろもろの工にもすべて毀壞を召きかうむらしめたり
And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the corn, and upon the new wine, and upon the oil, and upon that which the ground bringeth forth, and upon man, and upon cattle, and upon all the labour of the hands.
12 シヤルテルの子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すべての民ともに其神ヱホバの聲と預言者ハガイの言に聽したがへり 是は其神ヱホバかれを遣したまひしに因る 民みなヱホバの前に敬畏たり
And Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and all the remnant of the people, hearkened to the voice of Jehovah their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet, according as Jehovah their God had sent him, and the people feared before Jehovah.
13 時にヱホバの使者ハガイ、ヱホバの命により民に告て曰けるは我なんぢらと偕に在りとヱホバ曰たまふと
Then spoke Haggai, Jehovah's messenger, in Jehovah's message unto the people, saying, I am with you, saith Jehovah.
14 ヱホバ、シヤルテルの子ユダの方伯ゼルバベルの心とヨザダクの子 祭司の長ヨシユアの心およびその殘れるすべての民の心をふりおこしたまひければ彼等來りて其神萬軍のヱホバの殿にて工作を爲り
And Jehovah stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and worked at the house of Jehovah of hosts, their God,
15 これダリヨス王の二年六月二十四日なりき
in the four and twentieth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.
