哈该书 1
1 大流士王第二年六月初一日，耶和华的话借先知哈该向犹大省长撒拉铁的儿子所罗巴伯和约撒答的儿子大祭司约书亚说：
In the second year of Daryavesh the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, the word of YHWH came by Haggai, the prophet, to Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, saying,
2 万军之耶和华如此说：“这百姓说，建造耶和华殿的时候尚未来到。”
"This is what YHWH of hosts says: These people say, 'The time hasn't yet come, the time for YHWH's house to be built.'"
3 那时耶和华的话临到先知哈该说：
Then the word of YHWH came by Haggai, the prophet, saying,
4 “这殿仍然荒凉，你们自己还住天花板的房屋吗？
"Is it a time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, while this house lies waste?
5 现在万军之耶和华如此说：你们要省察自己的行为。
Now therefore this is what YHWH of hosts says: Consider your ways.
6 你们撒的种多，收的却少；你们吃，却不得饱；喝，却不得足；穿衣服，却不得暖；得工钱的，将工钱装在破漏的囊中。”
You have sown much, and bring in little. You eat, but you do not have enough. You drink, but you aren't filled with drink. You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm, and he who earns wages earns wages to put them into a bag with holes in it."
7 万军之耶和华如此说：“你们要省察自己的行为。
This is what YHWH of hosts says: "Consider your ways.
8 你们要上山取木料，建造这殿，我就因此喜乐，且得荣耀。这是耶和华说的。
Go up to the mountain, bring wood, and build the house. I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified," says YHWH.
9 你们盼望多得，所得的却少；你们收到家中，我就吹去。这是为什么呢？因为我的殿荒凉，你们各人却顾自己的房屋。这是万军之耶和华说的。
"You looked for much, and, look, it came to little; and when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why?" says YHWH of hosts, "Because of my house that lies waste, while each of you is busy with his own house.
10 所以为你们的缘故，天就不降甘露，地也不出土产。
Therefore for your sake the heavens withhold the dew, and the earth withholds its fruit.
11 我命干旱临到地土、山冈、五谷、新酒，和油，并地上的出产、人民、牲畜，以及人手一切劳碌得来的。”
I called for a drought on the land, and on the mountains, and on the grain, and on the new wine, on the oil, and on all what the ground produces, and on men, and on livestock, and on all the labor of the hands."
12 那时，撒拉铁的儿子所罗巴伯和约撒答的儿子大祭司约书亚，并剩下的百姓，都听从耶和华—他们 神的话和先知哈该奉耶和华—他们 神差来所说的话；百姓也在耶和华面前存敬畏的心。
Then Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of YHWH, their God, and the words of Haggai, the prophet, as YHWH, their God, had sent him; and the people feared YHWH.
13 耶和华的使者哈该奉耶和华差遣对百姓说：“耶和华说：我与你们同在。”
Then Haggai, YHWH's messenger, spoke YHWH's message to the people, saying, "I am with you," says YHWH.
14 耶和华激动犹大省长撒拉铁的儿子所罗巴伯和约撒答的儿子大祭司约书亚，并剩下之百姓的心，他们就来为万军之耶和华—他们 神的殿做工。
YHWH 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 on the house of YHWH of hosts, their God,
15 这是在大流士王第二年六月二十四日。
in the twenty-fourth day of the month, in the sixth month, in the second year of Daryavesh the king.
