1 These are the family heads and genealogical records of those who returned with me from Babylon during the reign of King Artaxerxes:

14 and from the descendants of Bigvai, both Uthai and Zaccur, and with them 70 men.
彼革外的子孫，鍵盤匝雇爾的兒子烏泰，同他一起的，有男子七十名。
15 Now I assembled these exiles at the canal that flows to Ahava, and we camped there three days. And when I searched among the people and priests, I found no Levites there.
我將眾人召集在流往阿哈瓦的河邊，在那裏住了三天；當我視察眾人和司祭時，其中沒有發現一個肋未人。
16 Then I summoned the leaders: Eliezer, Ariel, Shemaiah, Elnathan, Jarib, Elnathan, Nathan, Zechariah, and Meshullam, as well as the teachers Joiarib and Elnathan.
我遂派首領厄里厄則爾、阿黎爾、舍瑪雅、厄耳納堂、雅黎布、厄耳納堂、納堂、則加黎雅和默叔藍通士約雅黎布和厄耳納堂，
17 And I sent them to Iddo, the leader at Casiphia, with a message for him and his kinsmen, the temple servants at Casiphia, that they should bring to us ministers for the house of our God.
命他們到加息非雅地方的首領依多那裏去，我並把他們應向那定居在加息非雅的依多和兄弟們，要說的話告訴了他們，好為我們天主的殿，給我們帶來侍役。
18 And since the gracious hand of our God was upon us, they brought us Sherebiah—a man of insight from the descendants of Mahli son of Levi, the son of Israel—along with his sons and brothers, 18 men;
賴我們天主慈悲的手對我們的扶助，他們由以色列的兒子肋未的後裔瑪赫里的子孫中，給我們帶來了一位明智人，就是舍勒彼雅，和兒子及兄弟，一共十八人；
19 also Hashabiah, together with Jeshaiah, from the descendants of Merari, and his brothers and their sons, 20 men.
還有哈沙彼雅，同他一起的，有默辣黎的子孫耶沙和雅及兒子，一共二 十人；
20 They also brought 220 of the temple servants, all designated by name. David and the officials had appointed them to assist the Levites.
還有達味和諸首長服事肋未人所立 獻身者，一共二百二十人；這些人全部都是登記了的。
21 And there by the Ahava Canal I proclaimed a fast, so that we might humble ourselves before our God and ask Him for a safe journey for us and our children, with all our possessions.
我遂在阿哈瓦河那裏禁食，在我們的天主前自謙自卑，祈求衪使我們和我們的子孫，並我們的一切財物，一路平安；
22 For I was ashamed to ask the king for an escort of soldiers and horsemen to protect us from our enemies on the road, since we had told him, “The hand of our God is gracious to all who seek Him, but His great anger is against all who forsake Him.”
因為我羞於請求君王派遺步隊和騎兵，協助我們防禦路上的仇敵，因為我們曾向君王說萵：「凡尋求天主的人，衪的手常加助佑；凡離棄衪的人，衪便施行強力和義怒」。
23 So we fasted and petitioned our God about this, and He granted our request.
我們為此禁食，祈求我們的天主，衪便俯聽了我們。
24 Then I set apart twelve of the leading priests, together with Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brothers,
我由司祭的首領選了十二人，又選了舍勒彼雅和哈沙彼雅，以及同他們在一起的十個兄弟，
25 and I weighed out to them the contribution of silver and gold and the articles that the king, his counselors, his leaders, and all the Israelites there had offered for the house of our God.
把金銀和器皿，即君王和他的謀、首長，以及在那裏所有的以色列人，奉獻給我們天主殿的禮品，一一衡量了交給了他們。
26 I weighed out into their hands 650 talents of silver, articles of silver weighing 100 talents, 100 talents of gold,
我衡量了交在他們手中的，有銀子六百五十「塔冷通」，銀器一百「塔冷通」，金子一百「塔冷通」；
27 20 gold bowls valued at 1,000 darics, and two articles of fine polished bronze, as precious as gold.
還有金碗二十個，值一千「達理克」；發亮的銅器二個，貴如黃金。
28 Then I told them, “You are holy to the LORD, and these articles are holy. The silver and gold are a freewill offering to the LORD, the God of your fathers.
我向他們說：「你們在上主前是聖的，器皿也是聖的，金銀是自願獻於上主你們祖先的天主，作禮品的。
29 Guard them carefully until you weigh them out in the chambers of the house of the LORD in Jerusalem before the leading priests, Levites, and heads of the Israelite families.”
你們要謹慎護守，直到在耶路撒冷，在上主殿宇的庫房內，當著司祭和肋未人的首領，以及以色列眾族長的面，衡量交清為止」。
30 So the priests and Levites took charge of the silver and gold and sacred articles that had been weighed out to be taken to the house of our God in Jerusalem.
司祭自己和肋未人，就把數點過的金銀和器皿收下，帶到耶路撒冷我們天主的殿內。
31 On the twelfth day of the first month we set out from the Ahava Canal to go to Jerusalem, and the hand of our God was upon us to protect us from the hands of the enemies and bandits along the way.
一月十二日，我們從阿哈瓦河起程赴耶路撒冷，賴我們天主的手扶助，我們一路脫免了仇人和暗害者的手，
32 So we arrived at Jerusalem and rested there for three days.
平安到了耶路撒冷，在那裏休息了三天o
33 On the fourth day, in the house of our God, we weighed out the silver and gold and sacred articles into the hand of Meremoth son of Uriah, the priest. Eleazar son of Phinehas was with him, along with the Levites Jozabad son of Jeshua and Noadiah son of Binnui.
第四日，在我們天主是殿內，衡量了金銀和器皿，交給了烏利雅的兒子默勒摩特司祭，同他在一起的，還有丕乃哈斯的兒子厄肋阿匝爾，以及肋未人耶叔亞的兒子約匝巴得，和彼奴依的兒子諾阿狄雅，
34 Everything was verified by number and weight, and the total weight was recorded at that time.
每件點過稱過，即將總數記錄下來。
35 Then the exiles who had returned from captivity sacrificed burnt offerings to the God of Israel: 12 bulls for all Israel, 96 rams, 77 lambs, and a sin offering of 12 male goats. All this was a burnt offering to the LORD.
當時被擄充軍回來的子民，向以色列的天主奉獻了全燔祭，為全以色列奉獻了牛犢十二頭，公綿羊九十六隻，羔羊七十二隻，作贖罪祭的公山羊十二隻：這一切都獻給上主作全燔祭。
36 They also delivered the king’s edicts to the royal satraps and governors of the region west of the Euphrates, who proceeded to assist the people and the house of God.
以後，他們向君王的州長和河西諸省長，呈上君王的諭令；他們便協助民眾，資助天主的殿宇。
