‘ From this day on, from this twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, give careful thought to the day when the foundation of the Lord’s temple was laid. Give careful thought:

It is the 24th day of the ninth month. From this day on, here is what you should think carefully about. Think about the day when the foundation of my temple was laid.

Consider from this day onward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month. Since the day that the foundation of the Lord’s temple was laid, consider:

“ Think about this eighteenth day of December, the day when the foundation of the Lord’s Temple was laid. Think carefully.

From this day on, think carefully; from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, from the day the foundation of the LORD’s temple was laid; think carefully.

‘ Do consider from this day onward, from the twenty fourth day of the ninth month; from the day when the temple of the Lord was founded, consider:

‘ Consider now from this day forward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, from the day that the foundation of the LORD’s temple was laid— consider it:

Consider, I pray you, from this day and backward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, since the day that the foundation of Jehovah’s temple was laid, consider it.

“ Consider carefully from this day forward; from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, from the day the foundation of the Lord’s temple was laid; consider it carefully.

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].

‘ Think carefully about the past: from today, the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, to the day work on the temple of the LORD was resumed, think about it.

‘ Consider, please, from this day and backward, from the twenty- fourth day of the ninth month, since the day that the foundation of Yahweh’s temple was laid, consider it.

“萬軍之耶和華這樣說：‘在萬軍之耶和華的殿奠立了根基，預備建造的日子，你們這些在當時聽過眾先知親口宣告這些話的人，現在你們的手務要剛強。

“現在你們要反省，從今日起回想過往，就是在耶和華的殿還沒有一塊石頭疊在另一塊石頭上面以前，

因為五穀必生長繁茂，葡萄樹必結果子，地土必出土產，天也必降下甘露，我要使這些餘剩的子民承受這一切。

那時，哈該先知和易多的兒子撒迦利亞先知奉以色列神的名，向在猶大地和耶路撒冷的猶大人傳講信息。於是，撒拉鐵的兒子所羅巴伯和約薩達的兒子耶書亞都起來，開始重建在耶路撒冷的神的殿，神的先知們和他們在一起，幫助他們。

如果你們有智慧，就可以明白這事，認清自己將來的結局了。

大利烏王第二年九月二十四日，耶和華的話臨到哈該先知說：

他醒悟過來，說：‘我父親有那麼多雇工，又有豐富的食物，我卻要在這裡餓死嗎？我要起來，到我父親那裡去，對他說：爸爸，我得罪了天，也得罪了你，不配再稱為你的兒子，把我當作一個雇工吧！’於是他起來往父親那裡去。他還在遠處時，他父親看見了他，就動了慈心，跑過去抱著他，連連與他親吻。

於是耶和華激發了撒拉鐵的兒子、猶大省長所羅巴伯的心，和約撒答的兒子大祭司約書亞的心，以及所有餘剩子民的心，他們就來興工建造萬軍之耶和華他們神的殿宇。那時是大利烏王第二年六月二十四日。
