    [kjv]  Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and to the residue¹ of the people, saying,
    [bbe]  Say now to Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, ruler of Judah, and to Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the rest of the people,
2:3 [hgb]  你 们 中 间 存 留 的 ， 有 谁 见 过 这 殿 从 前 的 荣 耀 呢 ？ 现 在 你 们 看 着 如 何 ？ 岂 不 在 眼 中 看 如 无 有 吗 ？  
    [kjv]  Who is left among you that saw this house in her first glory? and how do ye see it now? is it not in your eyes in comparison of it as nothing?
    [bbe]  Who is there still among you who saw this house in its first glory? and how do you see it now? is it not in your eyes as nothing?

    [bbe]  The agreement which I made with you when you came out of Egypt, and my spirit, are with you still; have no fear.
2:6 [hgb]  万 军 之 耶 和 华 如 此 说 ， 过 不 多 时 ， 我 必 再 一 次 震 动 天 地 ， 沧 海 ， 与 旱 地 。  
    [kjv]  For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;

    [bbe]  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,
2:11 [hgb]  万 军 之 耶 和 华 如 此 说 ， 你 要 向 祭 司 问 律 法 ，  
    [kjv]  Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Ask now the priests concerning the law, saying,
    [bbe]  These are the words of the Lord of armies: Put now a point of law to the priests, saying,
2:12 [hgb]  说 ， 若 有 人 用 衣 襟 兜 圣 肉 ， 这 衣 襟 挨 着 饼 ， 或 汤 ， 或 酒 ， 或 油 ， 或 别 的 食 物 ， 便 算 为 圣 吗 ？ 祭 司 说 ， 不 算 为 圣 。  
    [kjv]  If one bear holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and with his skirt do touch bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any meat, shall it be holy? And the priests answered and said, No.
    [bbe]  If anyone has some holy flesh folded in the skirt of his robe, will bread or soup or wine or oil or any other food be made holy if touched by his skirt? And the priests answering said, No.
2:13 [hgb]  哈 该 又 说 ， 若 有 人 因 摸 死 尸 染 了 污 秽 ， 然 后 挨 着 这 些 物 的 那 一 样 ， 这 物 算 污 秽 吗 ？ 祭 司 说 ， 必 算 污 秽 。  
    [kjv]  Then said Haggai, If one that is unclean by a dead body touch any of these, shall it be unclean? And the priests answered and said, It shall be unclean.
    [bbe]  Then Haggai said, Will any of these be made unclean by the touch of one who is unclean through touching³ a dead body? And the priests answering said, It will be made unclean.
2:14 [hgb]  于 是 哈 该 说 ， 耶 和 华 说 ， 这 民 这 国 ， 在 我 面 前 也 是 如 此 。 他 们 手 下 的 各 样 工 作 ， 都 是 如 此 。 他 们 在 坛 上 所 献 的 也 是 如 此 。  
    [kjv]  Then answered Haggai, and said, So is this people, and so is this nation before me, saith the LORD; and so is every work of their hands; and that which they offer there is unclean.
    [bbe]  Then Haggai said, So is this people and so is this nation before me, says the Lord; and so is every work of their hands; and the offering they give there is unclean.
2:15 [hgb]  现 在 你 们 要 追 想 ， 此 日 以 前 ， 耶 和 华 的 殿 ， 没 有 一 块 石 头 垒 在 石 头 上 的 光 景 。  
    [kjv]  And now, I pray you, consider from this day and upward, from before a stone was laid upon a stone in the temple of the LORD:
    [bbe]  And now, give thought, looking back from this day to the time before one stone was put on another in the Temple of the Lord:
2:16 [hgb]  在 那 一 切 日 子 ， 有 人 来 到 谷 堆 ， 想 得 二 十 斗 ， 只 得 了 十 斗 。 有 人 来 到 酒 池 ， 想 得 五 十 桶 ， 只 得 了 二 十 桶 。  
    [kjv]  Since those days were, when one came to an heap of twenty measures, there were but ten: when one came to the pressfat for to draw out fifty vessels⁴ out of the press, there were but twenty.
    [bbe]  How, when anyone came to a store of twenty measures, there were only ten: when anyone went to the wine-store to get fifty vessels full, there were only twenty.
2:17 [hgb]  在 你 们 手 下 的 各 样 工 作 上 ， 我 以 旱 风 ， 霉 烂 ， 冰 雹 ， 攻 击 你 们 。 你 们 仍 不 归 向 我 。 这 是 耶 和 华 说 的 。  
    [kjv]  I smote⁵ you with blasting and with mildew⁶ and with hail in all the labours of your hands; yet ye turned not to me, saith the LORD.
    [bbe]  And I sent burning and wasting and a rain of ice-drops on all the works of your hands; but still you were not turned to me, says the Lord.
2:18 [hgb]  你 们 要 追 想 此 日 以 前 ， 就 是 从 这 九 月 二 十 四 日 起 ， 追 想 到 立 耶 和 华 殿 根 基 的 日 子 。  
    [kjv]  Consider now from this day and upward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, even from the day that the foundation of the LORD's temple was laid, consider it.
    [bbe]  And now, give thought; looking on from this day, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, from the time when the base of the Lord's house was put in its place, give thought to it.
2:19 [hgb]  仓 里 有 谷 种 吗 ？ 葡 萄 树 ， 无 花 果 树 ， 石 榴 树 ， 橄 榄 树 都 没 有 结 果 子 。 从 今 日 起 ， 我 必 赐 福 与 你 们 。  
    [kjv]  Is the seed yet in the barn? yea, as yet the vine, and the fig⁷ tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree, hath not brought forth⁸: from this day will I bless you.
    [bbe]  Is the seed still in the store-house? have the vine and the fig-tree, the pomegranate and the olive-tree, still not given their fruit? from this day I will send my blessing⁹ on you.
2:20 [hgb]  这 月 二 十 四 日 ， 耶 和 华 的 话 二 次 临 到 哈 该 说 ，  
    [kjv]  And again the word of the LORD came unto Haggai in the four and twentieth day of the month, saying,
    [bbe]  And the word of the Lord came a second time to Haggai, on the twenty-fourth day of the month, saying,
2:21 [hgb]  你 要 告 诉 犹 大 省 长 所 罗 巴 伯 说 ， 我 必 震 动 天 地 。  
    [kjv]  Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will shake the heavens and the earth;
    [bbe]  Say to Zerubbabel, ruler of Judah, I will make a shaking of the heavens and the earth,
2:22 [hgb]  我 必 倾 覆 列 国 的 宝 座 ， 除 灭 列 邦 的 势 力 ， 并 倾 覆 战 车 ， 和 坐 在 其 上 的 。 马 必 跌 倒 ， 骑 马 的 败 落 ， 各 人 被 弟 兄 的 刀 所 杀 。  
    [kjv]  And I will overthrow¹⁰ the throne of kingdoms, and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the heathen; and I will overthrow the chariots, and those that ride in them; and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother.
    [bbe]  Overturning the power of kingdoms; and I will send destruction on the strength of the kingdoms of the nations; by me war-carriages will be overturned with those who are in them; and the horses and the horsemen will come down, everyone by the sword of his brother.
2:23 [hgb]  万 军 之 耶 和 华 说 ， 我 仆 人 撒 拉 铁 的 儿 子 所 罗 巴 伯 阿 ， 到 那 日 ， 我 必 以 你 为 印 ， 因 我 拣 选 了 你 。 这 是 万 军 之 耶 和 华 说 的 。  
    [kjv]  In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, will I take thee, O Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, saith the LORD, and will make thee as a signet: for I have chosen thee, saith the LORD of hosts.
    [bbe]  In that day, says the Lord of armies, I will take you, O Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, says the Lord, and will make you as a jewelled ring: for I have taken you to be mine, says the Lord of armies.
