Haggai 2

1 In the seventh month, in the twenty-first day of the month, the LORD’s word came by Haggai the prophet, saying,

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 “Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the remnant of the people, saying,

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 who saw this house in its former glory? How do you see it now? Is not it in your eyes as nothing?

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 Yet now be strong, Zerubbabel,’ says the LORD. ‘Be strong, Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest. Be strong, all you people of the land,’ says the LORD, ‘and work, for I am with you,’ says the LORD of Armies.

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 This is the word that I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt, and my Spirit lived among 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 For this is what the LORD of Armies says: ‘Yet once more, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, the earth, the sea, and the dry 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. The treasure of all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory, says the LORD of Armies.

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,’ says the LORD of Armies.

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 latter glory of this house will be greater than the former,’ says the LORD of Armies; ‘and in this place I will give peace,’ says the LORD of Armies.”

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, the LORD’s word came by Haggai the prophet, saying,

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 Armies says: Ask now the priests concerning the law, saying,

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 someone carries holy meat in the fold of his garment, and with his fold touches bread, stew, wine, oil, or any food, will it become holy?’” 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 Haggai said, “If one who is unclean by reason of a dead body touches any of these, will it be unclean?” The priests answered, “It will 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 Then Haggai answered, “‘So is this people, and so is this nation before me,’ says the LORD; ‘and so is every work of their hands. 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 Now, please consider from this day and backward, before a stone was laid on a stone in the LORD’s temple.

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 Through all that time, when one came to a heap of twenty measures, there were only ten. When one came to the wine vat to draw out fifty, 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 you with blight, mildew, and hail in all the work of your hands; yet you did not 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 ‘Consider, please, from this day and backward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, since the day that the foundation of the LORD’s temple was laid, consider it.

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 Is the seed yet in the barn? Yes, the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree have not produced. From today I will 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 The LORD’s word came the second time to Haggai in the twenty-fourth day of the month, saying,

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 “Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, ‘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 I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms. I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations. I will overthrow the chariots and those who ride in them. The horses and their riders will come down, everyone by the sword of his brother.

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, says the LORD of Armies, I will take you, Zerubbabel my servant, the son of Shealtiel,’ says the LORD, ‘and will make you like a signet ring, for I have chosen you,’ says the LORD of Armies.”

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
