以斯拉記 1
1 波斯王居魯士元年，為應驗上主藉耶肋米亞的口所說的話，上主感動波斯王居魯士的心，叫他出一道號令，並向全國頒發上諭說：
Nowe in the first yere of Cyrus King of Persia (that the worde of the Lord, spoken by the mouth of Ieremiah, might be accomplished) the Lord stirred vp the spirite of Cyrus King of Persia, and hee made a Proclamation thorowe all his Kingdome, and also by writing, saying,
2 「波斯王居魯士這樣說：上天的神「雅威」將地上萬國交給了我，囑咐我在猶大的耶路撒冷，為衪建築一座殿宇。
Thus saith Cyrus King of Persia, The Lord God of heauen hath giuen me all the kingdomes of the earth, and he hath commanded me to builde him an house in Ierusalem, which is in Iudah.
3 你們中間凡作衪子民的，願他的神與他同在，上赫特4的耶路撒冷，建築以色列的神「雅威」的──是在耶路撒冷的神。
Who is he among you of all his people with whome his God is? let him goe vp to Ierusalem which is in Iudah, and buylde the house of the Lord God of Israel: he is the God, which is in Ierusalem.
4 所有的遺民，無論僑居在地方，那地方的人都應捐獻金銀、貨財、牲畜，以及自願的獻儀，為那在耶路撒冷的神修建殿宇」。
And euery one that remayneth in any place (where he soiourneth) let the men of his place relieue him with siluer and with golde, and with substance, and with cattel, and with a willing offring, for the house of God that is in Ierusalem.
5 於是，猶大和本雅明的族長、司祭、肋未人，以及那些受天主感動了心的人，就起身上去，要建築耶路撒冷的上主的殿宇；
Then the chiefe fathers of Iudah and Beniamin, and the Priests and Leuites rose vp, with al them whose spirit God had raysed to goe vp, to builde the house of the Lord which is in Ierusalem.
6 四鄰八舍都拿出a的金銀、貨財、牲畜和珠實來協助他們，另外還有各種自願的獻儀。
And all they that were about them, strengthened their handes with vessels of siluer, with golde, with substance and with cattell, and with precious thinges, besides all that was willingly offred.
7 居魯士王也將上主殿內的器皿，即先前拿步高從耶路撒冷掠奪而放在他神殿裏的器皿，
Also the King Cyrus brought forth the vessels of the house of the Lord, which Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of Ierusalem, and had put them in the house of his god.
8 波斯王居魯士司庫官米特達特，將那些東西拿出，點交給猶太人的首領舍士巴匝，
Euen them did Cyrus King of Persia bring forth by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and counted them vnto Sheshbazzar the Prince of Iudah.
9 共計金盆三十，銀盆一千，刀子二十九，
And this is the nomber of them, thirtie basins of golde, a thousand basins of siluer, nine and twentie kniues,
10 金碗三十，次等銀碗四百一十，其他器皿一千：
Thirtie boules of gold, and of siluer boules of the second sort, foure hundreth and tenne, and of other vessels, a thousand.
11 一切金銀器皿，共五千四百件。舍市巴匝就帶著這一切與充軍的人，從巴比倫回了耶路撒冷。
All the vessels of golde and siluer were fiue thousand and foure hundreth. Sheshbazzar brought vp all with them of the captiuitie that came vp from Babel to Ierusalem.
