On the twenty-fourth of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came to Haggai the prophet, saying,

“The Lord of armies says this: ‘Now ask the priests for a ruling:

If someone carries holy meat in the fold of his garment, and touches bread with this fold, or touches cooked food, wine, oil, or any other food, will it become holy?’” And the priests answered, “No.”

Then Haggai said, “If one who is unclean from a corpse touches any of these things, will the latter become unclean?” And the priests answered, “It will become unclean.”

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.

But now, do consider from this day onward: before one stone was placed on another in the temple of the Lord,

from that time when one came to a grain heap of twenty measures, there would be only ten; and when one came to the wine vat to draw fifty measures, there would be only twenty.

I struck you and every work of your hands with scorching wind, mildew, and hail; yet you did not come back to Me,’ declares the Lord.

다리오 왕 제이년 아홉째 달 이십사일에 여호와의 말씀이 선지자 학개에게 임하니라 이르시되

On the twenty-fourth of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came to Haggai the prophet, saying,

만군의 여호와가 말하노니 너는 제사장에게 율법에 대하여 물어 이르기를

“The Lord of armies says this: ‘Now ask the priests for a ruling:

사람이 옷자락에 거룩한 고기를 쌌는데 그 옷자락이 만일 떡에나 국에나 포도주에나 기름에나 다른 음식물에 닿았으면 그것이 성물이 되겠느냐 하라 학개가 물으매 제사장들이 대답하여 이르되 아니니라 하는지라

If someone carries holy meat in the fold of his garment, and touches bread with this fold, or touches cooked food, wine, oil, or any other food, will it become holy?’” And the priests answered, “No.”

학개가 이르되 시체를 만져서 부정하여진 자가 만일 그것들 가운데 하나를 만지면 그것이 부정하겠느냐 하니 제사장들이 대답하여 이르되 부정하리라 하더라

Then Haggai said, “If one who is unclean from a corpse touches any of these things, will the latter become unclean?” And the priests answered, “It will become unclean.”

이에 학개가 대답하여 이르되 여호와의 말씀에 내 앞에서 이 백성이 그러하고 이 나라가 그러하고 그들의 손의 모든 일도 그러하고 그들이 거기에서 드리는 것도 부정하니라

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.

이제 원하건대 너희는 오늘부터 이전 곧 여호와의 전에 돌이 돌 위에 놓이지 아니하였던 때를 기억하라

But now, do consider from this day onward: before one stone was placed on another in the temple of the Lord,

그 때에는 이십 고르 곡식 더미에 이른즉 십 고르뿐이었고 포도즙 틀에 오십 고르를 길으러 이른즉 이십 고르뿐이었었느니라

from that time when one came to a grain heap of twenty measures, there would be only ten; and when one came to the wine vat to draw fifty measures, there would be only twenty.

만군의 여호와가 말하노라 내가 너희 손으로 지은 모든 일에 곡식을 마르게 하는 재앙과 깜부기 재앙과 우박으로 쳤으나 너희가 내게로 돌이키지 아니하였느니라

I struck you and every work of your hands with scorching wind, mildew, and hail; yet you did not come back to Me,’ declares the Lord.
