Haggai 2

1 on the twenty-first day of the seventh month, this message from the Lord came to Haggai the prophet,

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

2 telling him to speak to Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to all the rest of the people:

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

3 Who is left among you that saw this temple in its former glory? And how do you see it now? Doesn’t it seem as though there is nothing there?

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

4 The Lord says: Yet now be strong, Zerubbabel, be strong, Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest, be strong, all you people of the land. The Lord says: Begin the work, for I am with you. The Lord of hosts says:

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

5 When your ancestors left Egypt I made a promise to you, and I am still with you. Do not be afraid!

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

6 The Lord of hosts says: In a little while, I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the land.

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

7 And I will shake all nations, and the precious things of all nations shall come here; and I will fill this temple with glory. The Lord of hosts says:

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

8 The silver is mine, and the gold is mine,

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

9 The later glory of this temple shall be greater than the former. The Lord of hosts says: In this place I will grant prosperity. This is the message of the Lord of hosts.

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

10 In the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, this message from the Lord came to Haggai the prophet:

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

11 The Lord of hosts says: ‘Ask the priests for a ruling:

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

12 “If one carries consecrated meat in the fold of his garment, and with that garment touches bread, or stew, or wine, or oil, or any food, will it become holy?”’ And the priests answered: ‘No.’

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

13 Then said Haggai, ‘If one who is unclean by reason of a dead body touches any of these, will it be unclean?’ And the priests answered: ‘It would be unclean.’

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

14 Haggai replied: ‘So is this people and so is this nation before me, the Lord declares, and so is every work of their hands; and that which they offer there is unclean.

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

15 Think back from this day, before a stone was laid upon a stone in the temple of the Lord.

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

16 How were you? When you came to a heap of grain expecting twenty measures, there were only ten; when you came to the wine vat to draw out fifty vessels, there were only twenty.

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

17 “I struck all the work of your hands with blasting and blight, with mildew and with hail. Yet you didn’t turn to me,” says the Lord,

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

18 “Think back from this day, think! From the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, from the day when the foundations of the temple of the Lord were laid, and consider.

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

19 The seed is in the granary, but the vine and the fig tree and the pomegranate and the olive tree have not yet brought forth fruit. From this day will I bless you.”’

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

20 This message from the Lord came to Haggai a second time on the twenty-fourth day of the month:

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

21 Tell Zerubbabel, governor of Judah: I will shake the heavens and the earth;

ユダの方伯ゼルバベルに告よ われ天地を震動ん

22 and I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms; and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations; and I will overthrow the chariots, and those who ride in them; and the horses and their riders shall come down, each by the sword of his fellow.

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

23 In that day, the Lord of hosts says, I will take you, Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, the Lord says, and will make you like a signet ring, for I have chosen you, the Lord of hosts says.

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
