1Now Aggeus the prophet, and Zacharias the son of Addo, prophesied to the Jews that were in Judea and Jerusalem, in the name of the God of Israel.
1那时，先知 哈该 和 易多 的孙子 撒迦利亚 奉 以色列 神的名向 犹大 和 耶路撒冷 的 犹大 人说劝勉的话。
2Then rose up Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, and Josue the son of Josedec, and began to build the temple of God in Jerusalem, and with them were the prophets of God helping them.
2于是 撒拉铁 的儿子 所罗巴伯 和 约萨达 的儿子 耶书亚 都起来动手建造 耶路撒冷 神的殿，有 神的先知在那里帮助他们。
3And at the same time came to them Thathanai, who was governor beyond the river, and Stharbuzanai, and their counsellors: and said thus to them: Who hath given you counsel to build this house, and to repair the walls thereof?
3当时 河西 的总督 达乃 和 示他·波斯乃 ，并他们的同党来问说：「谁降旨让你们建造这殿，修成这墙呢？」
4In answer to which we gave them the names of the men who were the promoters of that building.
4我们便告诉他们建造这殿的人叫什么名字。
5But the eye of their God was upon the ancients of the Jews, and they could not hinder them. And it was agreed that the matter should be referred to Darius, and then they should give satisfaction concerning that accusation.
5神的眼目看顾 犹大 的长老，以致总督等没有叫他们停工，直到这事奏告 大流士 ，得着他的回谕。
6The copy of the letter that Thathanai governor of the country beyond the river, and Stharbuzanai, and his counsellors the Arphasachites, who dwelt beyond the river, sent to Darius the king.
6河西 的总督 达乃 和 示他·波斯乃 ，并他们的同党，就是住 河西 的 亚法萨迦 人，上本奏告 大流士 王。
7The letter which they sent him, was written thus: To Darius the king all peace.
7本上写着说：「愿 大流士 王诸事平安。
8Be it known to the king, that we went to the province of Judea, to the house of the great God, which they are building with unpolished stones, and timber is laid in the walls: and this work is carried on diligently, and advanceth in their hands.
8王该知道，我们往 犹大 省去，到了至大 神的殿，这殿是用大石建造的。梁木插入墙内，工作甚速，他们手下亨通。
9And we asked those ancients, and said to them thus: Who hath given you authority to build this house, and to repair these walls?
9我们就问那些长老说：『谁降旨让你们建造这殿，修成这墙呢？』
10We asked also of them their names, that we might give thee notice: and we have written the names of the men that are the chief among them.
10又问他们的名字，要记录他们首领的名字，奏告于王。
11And they answered us in these words, saying: We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth, and we are building a temple that was built these many years ago, and which a great king of Israel built and set up.
11他们回答说：『我们是天地之 神的仆人，重建前多年所建造的殿，就是 以色列 的一位大君王建造修成的。
12But after that our fathers had provoked the God of heaven to wrath, he delivered them into the hands of Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon the Chaldean: and he destroyed this house, and carried away the people to Babylon.
12只因我们列祖惹天上的 神发怒， 神把他们交在 迦勒底 人 巴比伦 王 尼布甲尼撒 的手中，他就拆毁这殿，又将百姓掳到 巴比伦 。
13But in the first year of Cyrus the king of Babylon, king Cyrus set forth a decree, that this house of God should be built.
13然而 巴比伦 王 塞鲁士 元年，他降旨允准建造 神的这殿。
14And the vessels also of gold and silver of the temple of God, which Nabuchodonosor had taken out of the temple, that was in Jerusalem, and had brought them to the temple of Babylon, king Cyrus brought out of the temple of Babylon, and they were delivered to one Sassabasar, whom also he appointed governor,
14神殿中的金、银器皿，就是 尼布甲尼撒 从 耶路撒冷 的殿中掠去带到 巴比伦 庙里的， 塞鲁士 王从 巴比伦 庙里取出来，交给派为省长的，名叫 设巴萨 ，
15And said to him: Take these vessels, and go, and put them in the temple that is in Jerusalem, and let the house of God be built in its place.
15对他说可以将这些器皿带去，放在 耶路撒冷 的殿中，在原处建造 神的殿。
16Then came this same Sassabasar, and laid the foundations of the temple of God in Jerusalem, and from that time until now it is in building, and is not yet finished.
16于是这 设巴萨 来建立 耶路撒冷 神殿的根基。这殿从那时直到如今尚未造成。』
17Now therefore if it seem good to the king, let him search in the king’s library, which is in Babylon, whether it hath been decreed by Cyrus the king, that the house of God in Jerusalem should be built, and let the king send his pleasure to us concerning this matter.
17现在王若以为美，请察 巴比伦 王的府库，看 塞鲁士 王降旨允准在 耶路撒冷 建造 神的殿没有，王的心意如何？请降旨晓谕我们。」
