Haggai 1
1 [I am], Haggai, a prophet. I received a message from Yahweh on August 29th, during the second year that Darius was the king [of Persia]. I told this message to Shealtiel’s son Zerubbabel, the governor of Judah, and to Jehozadak’s son Jeshua, the Supreme Priest.
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
2 Yahweh, the Commander of the armies of heaven, told [me] that the people were saying that it was not yet time for them to rebuild Yahweh’s temple.
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
3 Then Yahweh gave me this message [to tell to the people of Jerusalem]:
ヱホバの言また預言者ハガイによりて臨めり曰く
4 “It is not right [RHQ] for you to be living in luxurious houses while my temple is only ruins!
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
5 [I, ] Yahweh, the Commander of the armies of heaven, say this: Think about what is happening to you.
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
6 You have planted a lot [of seeds], but you are not getting many [crops] to harvest. You eat [food], but you never get enough. You drink [wine], but you are still thirsty. You wear clothes, but you do not stay warm. You earn money, [but things are very expensive], with the result that [it is as though] [MET] [your money disappears because] you are putting it in purses/pockets that have [big] holes in them.”
汝らは多く播ども収入る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
7 [So] this is what Yahweh, the Commander of the armies of heaven, says: “Think about what is happening to you.
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
8 [Then] go up into the hills, [cut down trees, ] and bring timber [down here], and rebuild my temple. When you do that, I will be pleased, and I will be honored.
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
9 You expected [to harvest] plenty [of crops], but there were few [crops to harvest]. And when you brought the crops home, I caused them to spoil [IDM] quickly. The reason [that happened is that] my temple is a ruins, while each of you are busy building your own [beautiful] houses.
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
10 It is because of what you [are doing] that rain does not fall from the sky, and [as a result] there are no crops.
この故になんぢらの上の天は雨露を止め地はその産物を止めたり
11 I have caused a (drought/severe lack of rain) on the hills and on your fields. The result has been that your grain [has withered], and your grapevines [MTY] and olive trees [MTY] and all your [other] crops have dried up. [Because of that, ] you and your cattle [do not have enough food], and the hard work that you have done will be for nothing.”
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
12 Then Zerubbabel and Jeshua and all the others of God’s people who were still alive obeyed the message that Yahweh our God had said, and they heeded the message that I had given them, because [they knew that] Yahweh our God had sent/appointed me. And the people revered Yahweh.
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
13 Then [I], Haggai, who was Yahweh’s messenger, gave this message from Yahweh to the people: “I, Yahweh, declare that I am with you.”
時にヱホバの使者ハガイ、エ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
14 [So] Yahweh motivated Zerubbabel and Jeshua and the other people to want to rebuild the temple of our God, the Commander of the armies of angels. They gathered together and started to work to rebuild it.
エホバ、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
15 [They started work] on September 21st, during the second year that Darius was the king.
これダリヨス王の二年六月二十四日なりき
