 蓋:1.(hg)   [哈蓋]    Haggai  [共 2 章]   [思高聖經]
  
           四篇演詞
 蓋:1.1      [第一篇演詞  勸以民重修聖殿]  達理阿王二年六月初一，有上主的話藉哈蓋先知傳給沙耳提耳的兒子猶大省長則魯巴貝耳，和約匝達克火兒子大司祭耶叔亞說：
 蓋:1.2      萬軍的上主這樣說：這百姓說：「建築上主的殿字的時候還沒有到! 」
 蓋:1.3      於是上主的話藉哈蓋先知說：「
 蓋:1.4      當這座殿還尸一堆廢墟時，難道為你們就到了住有天花皮的房屋的時候﹖
 蓋:1.5      如今萬軍的上主這樣說：你們應細心考慮一下你們的行逕!
 蓋:1.6      你們播種的多，卻收割的少；你們吃，卻總吃不飽；你們喝，卻總喝不夠；你們穿衣，卻總不覺溫暖；賺了工資，無異尸將工資投了破囊。
 蓋:1.7      萬軍的上主這樣說：你們應考慮一下你們的行逕!
 蓋:1.8      你們應上山去，搬運木材，建造殿宇! 我必因此喜悅，並發顯光榮──上主說。
 蓋:1.9      你們期望豐收，看，反而歉收；你們運到家裏，我反把它吃散；這是為了什麼﹖──萬軍上主的斷語──是為了我的殿宇尚在荒廢，而你們竟各自趕造自己的房屋。
 蓋:1.10     為此，上主對你們停降雨露，大地也停止了出產，
 蓋:1.11     因為我向大地、群山、五穀、新油、田地的出產、人畜和手中的一切工作招來了旱災。」
 蓋:1.12     [勸勉的效果]  於是沙耳提耳的兒子則魯巴貝耳，約匝達克的兒子大司祭耶叔亞，以及全體遺民都聽從了上主，他們天主的聲音，也聽從了上主，他們的天主給他們派遣來的哈蓋先知的話；因此百姓在上主面前都起了敬畏的心。
 蓋:1.13     上主的使者哈蓋就以上主使者的名義向人民說：我與你們同在──上主的斷語。
 蓋:1.14     於是上主振興起了沙耳提耳的兒子猶大省長則魯巴貝耳的精神，以及約匝達克的兒子大司祭耶叔亞的，和全體遺民的精神，他們便都上前來興工建造萬軍的上主，他們的天主的聖殿。
 蓋:1.15     時在達理阿王二年六月二十四日。
  
           第二篇演詞
 蓋:2.1      [新殿的光榮]  七月二十一日，上主有話藉哈蓋先知說：
 蓋:2.2      「請你對沙耳提耳的兒子猶大省長則魯巴貝耳，和約匝達克的兒子大司祭耶叔亞以及遺民說：
 蓋:2.3      你們這些遺民中，凡見這座殿在昔日的光榮之中的，你們現在看它怎樣﹖在你們眼中，豈不是如沒有一樣﹖
 蓋:2.4      但是如今，則魯巴貝耳，努力! ──上主的斷語。約匝達克的兒子大司祭耶叔亞，努力! 境內全體民眾，努力! ──上主的斷語。努力工作吧! 因為我與你們同在──上主的斷語。
 蓋:2.5      [這是我在你們出離埃及時，與你們訂立的盟約：]我的神常存在你們中間，你們不要害怕。
 蓋:2.6      因為上主的斷語這樣說：再過不久，我要震動天地海陸，
 蓋:2.7      震勫萬民，使萬民的珍寶來；我必使這殿宇充滿榮耀──萬軍的上主說。
 蓋:2.8      銀子是我的，金子也是我的──萬軍上主的斷語。
 蓋:2.9      這座後起的殿的光榮，比以前那座有的還要大──萬軍的上主；在此地我要頒賜和平──萬軍上主的斷語。」
 蓋:2.10     [第三篇演詞  上主的恩許]  達理阿王二年九月二十四日，上主的話傳給哈蓋先知說：
 蓋:2.11     萬軍的上主這樣說：請你去詢問司祭們有關法律的事說：「
 蓋:2.12     如果有人用自己的衣襟攜帶了聖肉，然後又用自己的衣襟接觸麵餅，或湯，或酒，或油，或其他的食物，這些東西是否也成了聖的﹖」司祭們答說：「不。」
 蓋:2.13     哈蓋又問說：「如果一個因接觸屍體而陷於不潔的人，觸摸了這些東西，是否這些東西也成了不潔的﹖」司祭們答說：「成了不潔的。」
 蓋:2.14     於是哈蓋答說：「這百姓就是這樣，這民族在我面前就是這樣，──上主的斷語；他們手中的一切工作都是這樣；凡他們在這裏所獻的，都是不潔的。
 蓋:2.15     但是現在，從今日起回頭想想：在上主的殿還沒有石上壘石以前，
 蓋:2.16     那時你們怎樣﹖有人來收二十斗，卻只有十斗；有人來到榨油池舀五十桶，卻只有二十桶。
 蓋:2.17     我以熱風，以霉爛，以冰雹打搫了你們手中的一切工作，而你們仍沒有歸向我──上主的斷語。
 蓋:2.18     請你們由今日起，留心注意，即由九月二十四日，上主的殿宇的奠基日起，請你們留心注意：
 蓋:2.19     倉房裏不是還沒有種子嗎﹖葡萄樹、無花果樹、石榴樹和橄欖樹，不是還沒有結果子嗎﹖從今天起，我必要祝福你! 」
 蓋:2.20     [第四篇演詞 選拔則魯巴貝耳] 同年二十四日，上主的話再傳給哈蓋說：
 蓋:2.21     你要向猶大省長則魯巴貝耳說：我要震動天地，
 蓋:2.22     推翻列國的寶座；我要毀滅異邦列國的勢力，我要推翻戰車和駕車的人，戰馬與騎士個個必倒在自己兄弟的刀下。
 蓋:2.23     在那一天──萬軍上主的斷語──沙耳提耳的兒子，我的僕人則魯巴貝耳! 我必提拔你──上主的斷語──我必以你作印璽，因為我揀選了你──萬軍上主的斷語。  [哈蓋完篇]
  
 hg:1.       [Haggai]  2 chapters   [哈蓋]   [英文版]
  
 hg:1.1.     On the first day of the sixth month in the second year of King Darius, the word of the LORD came through the prophet Haggai to the governor of Judah, Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, and to the high priest Joshua, son of Jehozadak:
 hg:1.2.     Thus says the LORD of hosts: This people says: "Not now has the time come to rebuild the house of the LORD."
 hg:1.3.     (Then this word of the LORD came through Haggai, the prophet:)
 hg:1.4.     Is it time for you to dwell in your own paneled houses, while this house lies in ruins?
 hg:1.5.     Now thus says the LORD of hosts: Consider your ways!
 hg:1.6.     You have sown much, but have brought in little; you have eaten, but have not been satisfied; You have drunk, but have not been exhilarated; have clothed yourselves, but not been warmed; And he who earned wages earned them for a bag with holes in it.
 hg:1.7.     Thus says the LORD of hosts: Consider your ways!
 hg:1.8.     Go up into the hill country; bring timber, and build the house That I may take pleasure in it and receive my glory, says the LORD.
 hg:1.9.     You expected much, but it came to little; and what you brought home, I blew away. For what cause? says the LORD of hosts. Because my house lies in ruins, while each of you hurries to his own house.
 hg:1.10.    Therefore the heavens withheld from you their dew, and the earth her crops.
 hg:1.11.    And I called for a drought upon the land and upon the mountains; Upon the grain, and upon the wine, and upon the oil, and upon all that the ground brings forth; Upon men and upon beasts, and upon all that is produced by hand.
 hg:1.12.    Then Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, and the high priest Joshua, son of Jehozadak, and all the remnant of the people listened to the voice of the LORD, their God, and to the words of the prophet Haggai, because the LORD, their God, had sent him, and the people feared because of the LORD.
 hg:1.13.    And the LORD'S messenger, Haggai, proclaimed to the people as the message of the LORD: I am with you, says the LORD.
 hg:1.14.    Then the LORD stirred up the spirit of the governor of Judah, Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, and the spirit of the high priest Joshua, son of Jehozadak, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people, so that they came and set to work on the house of the LORD of hosts, their God,
 hg:1.15.    on the twenty-fourth day of the sixth month. In the second year of King Darius,
  
 hg:2.1.     on the twenty-first day of the seventh month, the word of the LORD came through the prophet Haggai:
 hg:2.2.     Tell this to the governor of Judah, Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, and to the high priest Joshua, son of Jehozadak, and to the remnant of the people:
 hg:2.3.     Who is left among you that saw this house in its former glory? And how do you see it now? Does it not seem like nothing in your eyes?
 hg:2.4.     But now take courage, Zerubbabel, says the LORD, and take courage, Joshua, high priest, son of Jehozadak, And take courage, all you people of the land, says the LORD, and work! For I am with you, says the LORD of hosts.
 hg:2.5.     This is the pact that I made with you when you came out of Egypt, And my spirit continues in your midst; do not fear!
 hg:2.6.     For thus says the LORD of hosts: One moment yet, a little while, and I will shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land.
 hg:2.7.     I will shake all the nations, and the treasures of all the nations will come in, And I will fill this house with glory, says the LORD of hosts.
 hg:2.8.     Mine is the silver and mine the gold, says the LORD of hosts.
 hg:2.9.     Greater will be the future glory of this house than the former, says the LORD of hosts; And in this place I will give you peace, says the LORD of hosts.
 hg:2.10.    On the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the second year of King Darius, the word of the LORD came to the prophet Haggai:
 hg:2.11.    Thus says the LORD of hosts: Ask the priests for a decision:
 hg:2.12.    If a man carries sanctified flesh in the fold of his garment and the fold touches bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any other food, do they become sanctified? "No," the priests answered.
 hg:2.13.    Then Haggai said: If a person unclean from contact with a corpse touches any of these, do they become unclean? The priests answered, "They become unclean."
 hg:2.14.    Then Haggai continued: So is this people, and so is this nation in my sight, says the LORD: And so are all the works of their hands; and what they offer there is unclean.
 hg:2.15.    But now, consider from this day forward. Before there was a stone laid upon a stone in the temple of the LORD,
 hg:2.16.    how did you fare? When one went to a heap of grain for twenty measures, it would yield but ten; When another went to the vat to draw fifty measures, there would be but twenty.
 hg:2.17.    I struck you in all the works of your hands with blight, searing wind, and hail, yet you did not return to me, says the LORD.
 hg:2.18.    (Consider from this day forward: from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month. From the day on which the temple of the LORD was founded, consider!)
 hg:2.19.    Indeed, the seed has not sprouted, nor have the vine, the fig, the pomegranate and the olive tree yet borne. From this day, I will bless!
 hg:2.20.    The message of the LORD came a second time to Haggai on the twenty-fourth day of the month:
 hg:2.21.    Tell this to Zerubbabel, the governor of Judah: I will shake the heavens and the earth;
 hg:2.22.    I will overthrow the thrones of kingdoms, destroy the power of the kingdoms of the nations. I will overthrow the chariots and their riders, and the riders with their horses shall go down by one another's sword.
 hg:2.23.    On that day, says the LORD of hosts, I will take you, Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, my servant, says the LORD, And I will set you as a signet ring; for I have chosen you, says the LORD of hosts.  [end of Haggai]
