Oproep tot herbouw van de tempel
1 Op de eerste dag van de zesde maand van het tweede regeringsjaar van koning Darius I, sprak de Here tot de profeet Haggai.
Haggai moest deze woorden doorgeven aan Zerubbabel, de zoon van Sealthiël, de gouverneur van Juda, en aan hogepriester Jozua, de zoon van Jozadak.
2 De Here van de hemelse legers vraagt u: ‘Waarom zegt dit volk dat het nog geen tijd is om mijn tempel te herbouwen?’ 3,4 En via de profeet Haggai stelde de Here dit volk dezelfde vraag: ‘Is het voor u dan wél tijd om in uw luxueuze huizen te wonen, terwijl mijn tempel in puin ligt? 5 Welnu,’ zegt de Here van de hemelse legers, ‘kijk eens naar het resultaat: 6 u zaait veel, maar oogst weinig. U eet en drinkt wel, maar u heeft nooit genoeg. U hebt wel kleren, maar onvoldoende om u warm te houden. Uw loon is in een mum van tijd verdwenen: het lijkt wel of er gaten in uw zakken zitten! 7 Denk toch eens goed na,’ zegt de Here van de hemelse legers. ‘Ga na wat u hebt gedaan en wat het gevolg ervan is geweest. 8 Trek dan de bergen in, haal hout en herbouw mijn tempel. Dan zal Ik werkelijk blij zijn en daar in macht en majesteit verschijnen,’ zegt de Here. 9 ‘U rekende op veel, maar kreeg weinig. En toen u het binnenhaalde, blies Ik het weg. Niets bleef over. En waarom? Omdat mijn tempel in puin ligt terwijl u allemaal voor uw eigen huis loopt te draven! 10 Daarom houd Ik de regen tegen en geef u slechte oogsten. 11 Ja, Ik liet zelfs een grote droogte over het land en de bergen komen. Zo verdorden het graan, de druiven, de olijven en al uw andere gewassen. Onder de droogte hadden mens en dier te lijden en spande men zich tevergeefs in.’
12 Zerubbabel, de zoon van Sealthiël, en hogepriester Jozua, de zoon van Jozadak en de weinige mensen die nog in het land waren overgebleven, luisterden met diep ontzag naar Haggaiʼs boodschap van de Here, hun God. 13 Toen stuurde de Here opnieuw een boodschap aan zijn volk via zijn profeet Haggai en zei: ‘Ik ben met u, Ik zal u zegenen.’ 14 En de Here van de hemelse legers gaf Zerubbabel, Jozua en de weinige mensen die nog in het land waren, het verlangen in het hart om zijn tempel te herbouwen. 15 Zij begonnen het werk op de vierentwintigste dag van die zesde maand, in het tweede regeringsjaar van koning Darius.

耶和華命令百姓重建聖殿
1 大流士王執政第二年六月一日，耶和華藉著先知哈該對撒拉鐵的兒子猶大省長所羅巴伯和約撒答的兒子大祭司約書亞說：
2 「萬軍之耶和華說，『這些百姓說，重建耶和華殿的時候還沒到。』」 3 因此，耶和華對先知哈該說： 4 「這殿還是一片廢墟，你們卻住在華麗的房子裡。 5 萬軍之耶和華說，你們要認真反省自己的行為。 6 你們種多收少，吃不飽，喝不足，穿不暖，掙來的工錢卻放在漏口袋中。」
7 萬軍之耶和華說：「你們要認真反省自己的行為。 8 你們要上山伐木，重建這殿，好讓我歡喜並得到尊崇。這是耶和華說的。 9 你們盼望豐收，結果收的很少；你們把收成帶回家，我卻把它們吹走。這是什麼緣故？萬軍之耶和華告訴你們，『因為你們都忙於建自家的房子，任由我的殿一片廢墟。 10 所以，天不降雨露，地無出產。 11 我讓旱災臨到大地、群山、五穀、葡萄、橄欖等地裡的出產以及人畜，使你們一切的勞碌付諸東流。』」
12 撒拉鐵的兒子猶大省長所羅巴伯、約撒答的兒子大祭司約書亞和所有的餘民[a]聽到他們的上帝耶和華藉先知哈該所講的話，都順服耶和華的話。百姓都敬畏耶和華。 13 耶和華的使者哈該向百姓傳達耶和華的話，說：「耶和華說，『我與你們同在。』」 14 耶和華感動撒拉鐵的兒子猶大省長所羅巴伯、約撒答的兒子大祭司約書亞和所有的餘民，他們就動工建造他們的上帝萬軍之耶和華的殿， 15 時值大流士王執政第二年六月二十四日。

A Call to Build the House of the Lord
1 In the second year of King Darius,(A) on the first day of the sixth month, the word of the Lord came through the prophet Haggai(B) to Zerubbabel(C) son of Shealtiel, governor(D) of Judah, and to Joshua(E) son of Jozadak,[a](F) the high priest:(G)
2 This is what the Lord Almighty(H) says: “These people(I) say, ‘The time has not yet come to rebuild the Lord’s house.(J)’”
3 Then the word of the Lord came through the prophet Haggai:(K) 4 “Is it a time for you yourselves to be living in your paneled houses,(L) while this house remains a ruin?(M)”
5 Now this is what the Lord Almighty says: “Give careful thought(N) to your ways. 6 You have planted much, but harvested little.(O) You eat, but never have enough.(P) You drink, but never have your fill.(Q) You put on clothes, but are not warm. You earn wages,(R) only to put them in a purse with holes in it.”
7 This is what the Lord Almighty says: “Give careful thought(S) to your ways. 8 Go up into the mountains and bring down timber(T) and build my house, so that I may take pleasure(U) in it and be honored,(V)” says the Lord. 9 “You expected much, but see, it turned out to be little.(W) What you brought home, I blew(X) away. Why?” declares the Lord Almighty. “Because of my house, which remains a ruin,(Y) while each of you is busy with your own house. 10 Therefore, because of you the heavens have withheld(Z) their dew(AA) and the earth its crops.(AB) 11 I called for a drought(AC) on the fields and the mountains,(AD) on the grain, the new wine,(AE) the olive oil(AF) and everything else the ground produces, on people and livestock, and on all the labor of your hands.(AG)”
12 Then Zerubbabel(AH) son of Shealtiel, Joshua son of Jozadak, the high priest, and the whole remnant(AI) of the people obeyed(AJ) the voice of the Lord their God and the message of the prophet Haggai, because the Lord their God had sent him. And the people feared(AK) the Lord.
13 Then Haggai,(AL) the Lord’s messenger,(AM) gave this message of the Lord to the people: “I am with(AN) you,” declares the Lord. 14 So the Lord stirred up(AO) the spirit of Zerubbabel(AP) son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua son of Jozadak,(AQ) the high priest, and the spirit of the whole remnant(AR) of the people. They came and began to work on the house of the Lord Almighty, their God, 15 on the twenty-fourth day of the sixth month.(AS)

In the second year of King Darius,(AT)

Rebuild the Temple
1 (A) On the first day of the sixth month of the second year that Darius was king of Persia,[a] the Lord told Haggai the prophet to speak his message to the governor of Judah and to the high priest.
So Haggai told Governor Zerubbabel and High Priest Joshua[b] 2-5 that the Lord All-Powerful had said to them and to the people:
You say this isn't the right time to build a temple for me. But is it right for you to live in expensive houses,[c] while my temple is a pile of ruins? Just look at what's happening. 6 You harvest less than you plant, you never have enough to eat or drink, your clothes don't keep you warm, and your wages are stored in bags full of holes.
7 Think about what I have said! 8 But first, go to the hills and get wood for my temple, so I can take pride in it and be worshiped there. 9 You expected much, but received only a little. And when you brought it home, I made that little disappear. Why have I done this? It's because you hurry off to build your own houses, while my temple is still in ruins. 10 That's also why the dew doesn't fall and your harvest fails. 11 And so, at my command everything will become barren—your farmland and pastures, your vineyards and olive trees, your animals and you yourselves. All your hard work will be for nothing.
12 Zerubbabel and Joshua, together with the others who had returned from exile in Babylonia, obeyed the Lord's message spoken by his prophet Haggai, and they started showing proper respect for the Lord. 13 Haggai then told them that the Lord had promised to be with them. 14 So the Lord God All-Powerful made everyone eager to work on his temple, especially Zerubbabel and Joshua. 15 And the work began on the twenty-fourth day of that same month.

King James Version
1 In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, came the word of the Lord by Haggai the prophet unto Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, saying,
2 Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, saying, This people say, The time is not come, the time that the Lord's house should be built.
3 Then came the word of the Lord by Haggai the prophet, saying,
4 Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your cieled houses, and this house lie waste?
5 Now therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts; Consider your ways.
6 Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe you, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages to put it into a bag with holes.
7 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Consider your ways.
8 Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith the Lord.
9 Ye looked for much, and, lo it came to little; and when ye brought it home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith the Lord of hosts. Because of mine house that is waste, and ye run every man unto his own house.
10 Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the earth is stayed from her fruit.
11 And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the corn, and upon the new wine, and upon the oil, and upon that which the ground bringeth forth, and upon men, and upon cattle, and upon all the labour of the hands.
12 Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of the Lord their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet, as the Lord their God had sent him, and the people did fear before the Lord.
13 Then spake Haggai the Lord's messenger in the Lord's message unto the people, saying, I am with you, saith the Lord.
14 And the Lord stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and did work in the house of the Lord of hosts, their God,
15 In the four and twentieth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.
