於是哈該說：「耶和華說，在我面前這民如此，這國也是如此；他們手裏的各樣工作都是如此；他們在那裏所獻的都不潔淨。」

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。”

于是哈该说：“耶和华说，在我面前这民如此，这国也是如此；他们手里的各样工作都是如此；他们在那里所献的都不洁净。”

于是哈该说：“耶和华说，在我面前这民如此，这国也是如此；他们手里的各样工作都是如此；他们在那里所献的都不洁净。”

于是哈该说：“耶和华说，‘这百姓和这国家在我面前也是如此。他们手中的各样工作和他们在那里所献的都不洁净。’

于是哈该回答，说：“耶和华说：‘这民也是这样，这国在我面前也是这样；他们手里的一切工作，都是这样；他们在那里所献的，都是不洁净的。’

於是哈該說：「耶和華說：這民這國，在我面前也是如此；他們手下的各樣工作都是如此；他們在壇上所獻的也是如此。」

於是哈該說：「耶和華說，在我面前這民如此，這國也是如此；他們手裏的各樣工作都是如此；他們在那裏所獻的都不潔淨。」

於是哈該說：「耶和華說，『這百姓和這國家在我面前也是如此。他們手中的各樣工作和他們在那裡所獻的都不潔淨。』

於是哈該回答，說：“耶和華說：‘這民也是這樣，這國在我面前也是這樣；他們手裡的一切工作，都是這樣；他們在那裡所獻的，都是不潔淨的。’

於是哈該應聲地說：『永恆主發神諭說：在我面前這人民也是這樣，這國也是這樣；他們手下的各樣農作物都是這樣：他們在這裏所供獻的都是不潔淨。

哈該曰、耶和華云、斯民斯族於我前亦若是、其手所作之工、及所獻之物、皆為不潔、

哈基又曰、耶和華曰、此國之民、其身不潔、所行之事、所獻之物、亦蒙不潔、

哈該曰、主曰、斯民斯族於我前、亦若是不潔、其手所作者不潔、原文作哈該曰主曰斯民斯族於我前亦如是其手所作者亦如是在此此原文作彼所獻者不潔、

Then Haggai said,“‘ So it is with this people and this nation in my sight,’ declares the Lord.‘ Whatever they do and whatever they offer there is defiled.

Then here is what Haggai said.“ The Lord announces,‘ That is how I look at these people and this nation. Anything they do and anything they sacrifice on the altar is“ unclean.”

Then Haggai answered and said,“ 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.

Then Haggai responded,“ That is how it is with this people and this nation, says the Lord. Everything they do and everything they offer is defiled by their sin.

Then Haggai replied,“ So is this people, and so is this nation before me— this is the LORD’s declaration. And so is every work of their hands; even what they offer there is defiled.

Then Haggai responded and said,“ ‘ So is this people. And so is this nation before Me,’ declares the Lord,‘ and so is every work of their hands; and what they offer there is unclean.

Then Haggai answered and said,“‘ 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.

Then answered Haggai and said, So is this people, and so is this nation before me, saith Jehovah; and so is every work of their hands; and that which they offer there is unclean.

Then Haggai replied,“ So is this people, and so is this nation before Me”— this is the Lord’s declaration.“ And so is every work of their hands; even what they offer there is defiled.

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.

Then Haggai responded,“‘ The people of this nation are unclean in my sight,’ says the LORD.‘ And so is all their effort; everything they offer is also unclean.

Then Haggai answered,“‘ So is this people, and so is this nation before me,’ says Yahweh;‘ and so is every work of their hands. That which they offer there is unclean.

耶和華說：「你們許多的祭物於我何益呢？公綿羊的燔祭和肥畜的油脂，我已經膩煩了；公牛、羔羊、公山羊的血，我都不喜悅。「你們來朝見我，誰向你們的手要求這些，使你們踐踏我的院宇呢？不要再獻無謂的供物了，香是我所憎惡的。我不能容忍行惡又守嚴肅會：初一、安息日和召集的大會。你們的初一和節期，我心裏恨惡，它們成了我的重擔，擔當這些，令我厭煩。你們舉手禱告，我必遮眼不看，就算你們多多祈禱，我也不聽；你們的手沾滿了血。

轉耳不聽教誨的，他的祈禱也可憎。

在潔淨的人，凡物都潔淨；在污穢不信的人，甚麼都不潔淨，連心地和天良也都污穢了。

惡人獻祭，為耶和華所憎惡；正直人祈禱，為他所喜悅。

眼高心傲，就是惡人的燈，都是罪。

約薩達的兒子耶書亞和他的弟兄眾祭司，以及撒拉鐵的兒子所羅巴伯和他的弟兄，都起來建築以色列神的壇，要照神人摩西律法書上所寫的，在壇上獻燔祭。他們在原有的根基上築壇，因為他們懼怕鄰邦民族，又在其上向耶和華早晚獻燔祭，

有些人你們要從火中搶出來，搭救他們；有些人你們要存懼怕的心憐憫他們，連那被情慾污染的衣服也要厭惡。

惡人獻的祭是可憎的，何況他存惡意來獻呢？

「這殿荒涼，你們自己還住天花板的房屋嗎？現在，萬軍之耶和華如此說，你們要省察自己的行為。你們撒的種多，收的卻少；你們吃，卻不得飽；喝，卻不得足；穿衣服，卻不得暖；領工錢的，領了工錢卻裝入有破洞的袋中。「萬軍之耶和華如此說，你們要省察自己的行為。你們要上山取木料，建造這殿，我就因此喜樂，且得榮耀。這是耶和華說的。你們盼望多得，看哪，所得的卻少；你們收到家中，我就吹去。這是為甚麼呢？因為我的殿荒涼，你們各人卻只為自己的房屋奔走。這是萬軍之耶和華說的。所以，因你們的緣故，天不降甘露，地也不出土產。我命令乾旱臨到土地、山岡、五穀、新酒、新油和地上的出產，也臨到人和牲畜，以及一切人手勞碌得來的。」
