ハガイ書 2
Japanese Living Bible
新しい家に約束された神の栄光
2 同じ年の第七の月の二十一日に、主は次のようなことばをハガイを通して彼らに送りました。 2 「総督と大祭司、およびこの地に残っているすべての者に、こう尋ねよ。 3 『あなたがたの中に、前にあった神殿を思い出せる者がいるか。それは栄光に輝く神殿であった。それに比べると、今は無に等しいのではないか。 4 しかし勇気を出せ、ゼルバベル、ヨシュア、すべての民よ。元気を出して働け。わたしが共にいるのだからと、全能の主が言われる。 5 エジプトを出た時、わたしの霊がおまえたちにとどまる、と約束した。だから恐れるな。』
6 全能の主は語ります。『しばらくして、わたしは天と地を、また海も、そして乾いた地を揺り動かし始める。 7 すべての国を揺り動かす。すべての国の望みである者がこの神殿に来て、わたしはここをわたしの栄光で満たす。 8-9 この神殿の未来の輝きは、最初の神殿の輝きより大きくなる。それに必要な金銀を、わたしがたくさん持っているからだ。そしてわたしは、ここに平和をもたらす』と主は言われる。」
汚れた人への祝福
10 ダリヨス王の治世第二年の第九の月の二十四日に、次のようなことばが、主から預言者ハガイを通して示されました。「 11 祭司たちに、律法について次のように尋ねよ。 12 『あなたたちのうちだれかが、聖なるいけにえを衣のすそに入れて運んでいて、そのすそがパンかぶどう酒か肉に触れたなら、触れたものも聖なるものとなるか。』」祭司は答えました。「いや、そんなことできよさは他のものに移らない。」
13 ハガイは続けて尋ねました。「しかし、だれかが死人に触れるなら汚れる。では、その人が何かに触れると、それも汚れるか。」「そのとおり」と祭司たちは答えました。
14 ハガイは質問の真意をはっきりさせて、こう言いました。「あなたがた民は、身勝手な態度と良くない思いをもって過ごすことで、自分がささげるいけにえを汚していた。いけにえだけではなく、わたしに対する奉仕として行うことも汚していた。 15 それで、なすことすべてうまくいかなかったのだ。だが、今からは違う。神殿を建て始めたからだ。 16-17 前には二十束の収穫を期待しても、十束しかなかった。五十桶分のオリーブ油を絞ろうとしても、二十桶分しか絞れなかった。立ち枯れ病と黒穂病と雹で、あなたがたの労働に報いたからだ。それでもあなたがたは、わたしのもとに帰ろうとしなかった、と主は言われる。
18-19 さあ今、このことを心に留めよ。この月の二十四日、すなわち、主の神殿の土台が据えられたこの日から、そしてこの日から先、わたしはあなたがたを祝福しよう。心に留めよ。あなたがたが神殿の再建を始める前、穀物を刈り入れる前に、ぶどう、いちじく、ざくろ、オリーブが実を結ぶ前に約束しておこう。今日からのち、わたしはあなたがたを祝福する。」
主の指輪であるゼルバベル
20 同じ日に、主からもう一つのことばがハガイに示されました。 21 「ユダの総督ゼルバベルに告げよ。『わたしは天と地を揺り動かそうとしている。 22 王座をくつがえし、諸国民の王国の力を滅ぼそうとしている。わたしはその兵力を砕き、兄弟や仲間は互いに殺し合う。 23 しかし、そのことが起こったら、わたしのしもべゼルバベルよ、あなたを選んで、わたしの指にはめた印章のように誉れを授ける。わたしがあなたを選んだからだ。』このように、全能の主は言われる。」
Haggai 2
New King James Version
The Coming Glory of God’s House
2 In the seventh month, on the twenty-first of the month, the word of the Lord came [a]by Haggai the prophet, saying: 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: 3 (A)‘Who is left among you who saw this [b]temple in its former glory? And how do you see it now? In comparison with it, (B)is this not in your eyes as nothing? 4 Yet now (C)be strong, Zerubbabel,’ says the Lord; ‘and be strong, Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest; and be strong, all you people of the land,’ says the Lord, ‘and work; for I am with you,’ says the Lord of hosts. 5 (D)‘According to the word that I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt, so (E)My Spirit remains among you; do not fear!’
6 “For thus says the Lord of hosts: (F)‘Once more (it is a little while) (G)I will shake heaven and earth, the sea and dry land; 7 and I will shake all nations, and they shall come to (H)the [c]Desire of All Nations, and I will fill this [d]temple with (I)glory,’ says the Lord of hosts. 8 ‘The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine,’ says the Lord of hosts. 9 (J)‘The glory of this latter [e]temple shall be greater than the former,’ says the Lord of hosts. ‘And in this place I will give (K)peace,’ says the Lord of hosts.”
The People Are Defiled
10 On the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came by Haggai the prophet, saying, 11 “Thus says the Lord of hosts: ‘Now, (L)ask the priests concerning the law, saying, 12 “If one carries holy meat in the fold of his garment, and with the edge he touches bread or stew, wine or oil, or any food, will it become holy?” ’ ”
Then the priests answered and said, “No.”
13 And Haggai said, “If one who is (M)unclean because of a dead body touches any of these, will it be unclean?”
So the priests answered and said, “It shall be unclean.”
14 Then Haggai answered and said, (N)“ ‘So is this people, and so is this nation before Me,’ says the Lord, ‘and so is every work of their hands; and what they offer there is unclean.
Promised Blessing
15 ‘And now, carefully (O)consider from this day forward: from before stone was laid upon stone in the temple of the Lord— 16 since those days, (P)when one came to a heap of twenty ephahs, there were but ten; when one came to the wine vat to draw out fifty baths from the press, there were but twenty. 17 (Q)I struck you with blight and mildew and hail (R)in all the labors of your hands; (S)yet you did not turn to Me,’ says the Lord. 18 ‘Consider now from this day forward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, from (T)the day that the foundation of the Lord’s temple was laid—consider it: 19 (U)Is the seed still in the barn? As yet the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree have not yielded fruit. But from this day I will (V)bless you.’ ”
Zerubbabel Chosen as a Signet
20 And again the word of the Lord came to Haggai on the twenty-fourth day of the month, saying, 21 “Speak to Zerubbabel, (W)governor of Judah, saying:
(X)‘I will shake heaven and earth.
22 (Y)I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms;
I will destroy the strength of the Gentile kingdoms.
(Z)I will overthrow the chariots
And those who ride in them;
The horses and their riders shall come down,
Every one by the sword of his brother.
23 ‘In that day,’ says the Lord of hosts, ‘I will take you, Zerubbabel My servant, the son of Shealtiel,’ says the Lord, (AA)‘and will make you like a signet ring; for (AB)I have chosen you,’ says the Lord of hosts.”

English Standard Version
The Coming Glory of the Temple
2 (A)In the seventh month, on the twenty-first day of the month, the word of the Lord came by the hand of Haggai the prophet: 2 “Speak now to (B)Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to (C)Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to all the remnant of the people, and say, 3 (D)‘Who is left among you who saw this house (E)in its former glory? How do you see it now? (F)Is it not as nothing in your eyes? 4 Yet now (G)be strong, O (H)Zerubbabel, declares the Lord. (I)Be strong, O (J)Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest. (K)Be strong, all you people of the land, declares the Lord. (L)Work, for (M)I am with you, declares the Lord of hosts, 5 (N)according to the covenant that I made with you when you came out of Egypt. (O)My Spirit remains in your midst. (P)Fear not. 6 For thus says the Lord of hosts: (Q)Yet once more, in a little while, (R)I will shake the heavens and the earth and the sea and the dry land. 7 And I will shake all nations, so that the treasures of all nations shall come in, and (S)I will fill this house with glory, says the Lord of hosts. 8 (T)The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, declares the Lord of hosts. 9 (U)The latter glory of this house shall be greater than the former, says the Lord of hosts. And (V)in this place I will give peace, declares the Lord of hosts.’”
Blessings for a Defiled People
10 (W)On the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, (X)in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came by Haggai the prophet, 11 “Thus says the Lord of hosts: (Y)Ask the priests about the law: 12 ‘If someone carries (Z)holy meat in the fold of his garment and touches with his fold bread or stew or wine or oil or any kind of food, does it become holy?’” The priests answered and said, (AA)“No.” 13 Then Haggai said, (AB)“If someone who is unclean by contact with a dead body (AC)touches any of these, does it become unclean?” The priests answered and said, “It does become unclean.” 14 Then Haggai answered and said, (AD)“So is it with this people, and with this nation before me, declares the Lord, and so with every work of their hands. And what they offer there is unclean. 15 Now then, (AE)consider from this day onward.[a] Before stone was placed upon stone in the temple of the Lord, 16 how did you fare? (AF)When[b] one came to a heap of twenty measures, there were but ten. When one came to the wine vat to draw fifty measures, there were but twenty. 17 (AG)I struck you and all the products of your toil with blight and with mildew and with hail, (AH)yet you did not turn to me, declares the Lord. 18 (AI)Consider from this day onward, (AJ)from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month. Since (AK)the day that the foundation of the Lord's temple was laid, (AL)consider: 19 (AM)Is the seed yet in the barn? Indeed, the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree have yielded nothing. But from this day on (AN)I will bless you.”
Zerubbabel Chosen as a Signet
20 The word of the Lord came a second time to Haggai (AO)on the twenty-fourth day of the month, 21 “Speak to (AP)Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, (AQ)I am about to shake the heavens and the earth, 22 and (AR)to overthrow the throne of kingdoms. I am about to destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations, and (AS)overthrow the chariots and their riders. And the horses and their riders shall go down, (AT)every one by the sword of his brother. 23 On that day, declares the Lord of hosts, I will take you, O (AU)Zerubbabel (AV)my servant, the son of (AW)Shealtiel, declares the Lord, and make you (AX)like a[c] signet ring, (AY)for I have chosen you, declares the Lord of hosts.”
