- 七月二十一日、耶和華的話臨到先知哈該說、
- 你要曉諭猶大省長撒拉鐵的兒子所羅巴伯和約撒答的兒子大祭司約書亞、並剩下的百姓、說、
- 你們中間存留的、有誰見過這殿從前的榮耀呢.現在你們看著如何.豈不在眼中看如無有麼。
- 耶和華說、所羅巴伯阿、雖然如此、你當剛強.約撒答的兒子大祭司約書亞阿、你也當剛強.這地的百姓、你們都當剛強作工、因為我與你們同在.這是萬軍之耶和華說的。
- 這是照著你們出埃及我與你們立約的話.那時、我的靈住在你們中間.你們不要懼怕。

- On the twenty-first of the seventh month, the word of the LORD came by Haggai the prophet saying,
- "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,
- 'Who is left among you who saw this temple in its former glory? And how do you see it now? Does it not seem to you like nothing in comparison?
- 'But now take courage, Zerubbabel,' declares the LORD, 'take courage also, Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and all you people of the land take courage,' declares the LORD, 'and work; for I am with you,' declares the LORD of hosts.
- 'As for the promise which I made you when you came out of Egypt, My Spirit is abiding in your midst; do not fear!'
