1新殿的荣耀胜过前殿
1In the seventh [month], in the twenty and first of the month, hath a word of Jehovah been by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying:
2“你要对撒拉铁的儿子犹大省长所罗巴伯，和约撒答的儿子大祭司约书亚，以及所有余剩的子民，说：
2`Speak, I pray thee, unto Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and unto Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest, and unto the remnant of the people, saying:
3‘你们中间剩下的人，有谁见过这殿宇从前的荣耀呢？现在你们又看它怎样？岂不是视如无物一样吗？’”
3Who among you hath been left that saw this house in its former honour? And what are ye seeing it now? Is it not, compared with it, as nothing in your eyes?
4耶和华说：“所罗巴伯啊！现在你要刚强。”耶和华说：“约撒答的儿子大祭司约书亚啊！你要刚强；这地的一切子民啊！你们也要刚强，并且要作工。”万军之耶和华说：“因为我与你们同在。
4And now, be strong, O Zerubbabel, An affirmation of Jehovah, And be strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest, And be strong, all ye people of the land, An affirmation of Jehovah, And do ye — (for I [am] with you, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts) —
5这就是你们从埃及出来的时候，我与你们立约的话。现在我的灵住在你们中间；你们不要惧怕。”
5The thing that I covenanted with you, In your coming forth from Egypt, And My Spirit is remaining in your midst, fear not.
6因为万军之耶和华这样说：“再过不多的时候，我要震动天、地、海洋和旱地。”
6For thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Yet once more — it [is] a little, And I am shaking the heavens and the earth, And the sea, and the dry land,
7万军之耶和华说：“我要震动万国，万国的珍宝就必运来；我要使这殿宇充满荣耀。”
7And I have shaken all the nations, And they have come [to] the desire of all the nations, And I have filled this house [with] honour, Said Jehovah of Hosts.
8万军之耶和华说：“银子是我的，金子也是我的。”
8Mine [is] the silver, and Mine the gold, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts.
9万军之耶和华说：“这殿宇后来的荣耀，必大过先前的荣耀。”万军之耶和华说：“在这地方，我必赐下平安。”
9Greater is the honour of this latter house, Than of the former, said Jehovah of Hosts, And in this place do I give peace, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts.`
10指出人民的恶行大利乌王第二年九月二十四日，耶和华的话临到哈该先知说：
10On the twenty and fourth of the ninth [month], in the second year of Darius, hath a word of Jehovah been by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying:
11“万军之耶和华这样说：你要向祭司询问有关律法的事说：
11Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: `Ask, I pray thee, the priests [of] the law, saying:
12人若用自己的衣襟盛载圣肉，后来又使自己的衣襟触着饼、汤、酒、油或别的食物，这就算为圣吗？”祭司都回答说：“不算为圣。”
12Lo, one doth carry holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and he hath come with his skirt against the bread, or against the pottage, or against the wine, or against the oil, or against any food — is it holy?` And the priests answer and say, `No.`
13哈该又说：“人若因触着尸体而成为不洁，又触着这些东西的任何一样，这就算为不洁吗？”祭司都回答说：“要算为不洁净。”
13And Haggai saith, `If the unclean of body doth come against any of these, is it unclean?` And the priests answer and say, `It is unclean.`
14于是哈该回答，说：“耶和华说：‘这民也是这样，这国在我面前也是这样；他们手里的一切工作，都是这样；他们在那里所献的，都是不洁净的。’
14And Haggai answereth and saith, `So [is] this people, and so [is] this nation before Me — an affirmation of Jehovah — and so [is] every work of their hands, and that which they bring near there — it is unclean.
15耶和华应许赐福“现在你们要反省，从今日起回想过往，就是在耶和华的殿还没有一块石头叠在另一块石头上面以前，
15And now, lay [it], I pray you, to your heart, From this day, and onwards, Before the laying of stone to stone in the temple of Jehovah.
16那时你们怎样呢？有人到谷堆来，想得两百公斤谷，却只得一百公斤；有人到榨酒池去，想从酒槽得一百公升酒，却只得四十公升。
16From that time [one] hath come to a heap of twenty, And it hath been ten, He hath come unto the wine-fat to draw out fifty purahs, And it hath been twenty.
17耶和华说：‘我用旱风、霉烂和冰雹击打你们，和你们手里的一切工作，你们还是不归向我。
17I have smitten you with blasting, And with mildew, and with hail — All the work of your hands, And there is none of you with Me, An affirmation of Jehovah.
18你们要反省，从今日起回想过往，就是自九月二十四日起，从耶和华殿的奠基日开始，你们要反省：
18Set [it], I pray you, to your heart, from this day and onwards, from the twenty and fourth day of the ninth [month], even from the day that the temple of Jehovah hath been founded, set [it] to your heart.
19仓里还有种子吗？葡萄树、无花果树、石榴树和橄榄树，岂是还没有结果子吗？从今日起，我必赐福。’”
19Is the seed yet in the barn? And hitherto the vine and the fig, And the pomegranate, and the olive-tree, Have not borne — from this day I bless.`
20应许拣选所罗巴伯同月二十四日，耶和华的话再次临到哈该，说：
20And there is a word of Jehovah a second time unto Haggai, on the twenty and fourth of the month, saying:
21“你要向犹大省长所罗巴伯说：‘我要震动天地，
21`Speak unto Zerubbabel governor of Judah, saying: I am shaking the heavens and the earth,
22我必倾覆列国的宝座，消灭外族万国的势力，我必推翻战车和驾车的人；马匹和骑马的都必跌倒；各人必死在自己兄弟的刀下。’
22And have overturned the throne of kingdoms, And I have destroyed the strength of kingdoms of the nations, And overturned chariot and its charioteers, And come down have horses and their riders, Each by the sword of his brother.
23万军之耶和华说：‘撒拉铁的儿子，我的仆人所罗巴伯啊！到那日我必提拔你。’耶和华说：‘我必以你为印记。’万军之耶和华说：‘因为我拣选了你。’”
23In that day — an affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, I take thee, Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, My servant — an affirmation of Jehovah, And have set thee as a signet, for on thee I have fixed, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts!
