Ezra 8
1 Now these are the heads of families who were listed of those who went up with me from Babylon, when Artaxerxes was king.

屬非尼哈的子孫有革順；屬以他瑪的子孫有但以理；屬大衛的子孫有哈突；
3 Of the sons of Shecaniah; of the sons of Parosh, Zechariah; and with him were listed a hundred and fifty males.
屬巴錄的後裔，就是示迦尼的子孫有撒迦利亞，同着他，按家譜計算，男丁一百五十人；

屬比革瓦伊的子孫有烏太和撒布，同着他們有男丁七十。
15 And I made them come together by the river flowing to Ahava; and we were there in tents for three days: and after viewing the people and the priests I saw that no sons of Levi were there.
我招聚這些人在流入亞哈瓦的河邊，我們在那裏住了三日。我查看百姓和祭司，見沒有利未人在那裏，
16 Then I sent for Eliezer and Ariel and Shemaiah and Elnathan Jarib and Elnathan and Nathan and Zechariah and Meshullam, all responsible men; and for Joiarib and Elnathan, who were wise men.
就召首領以利以謝、亞列、示瑪雅、以利拿單、雅立、以利拿單、拿單、撒迦利亞、米書蘭，又召教習約雅立和以利拿單。
17 And I sent them to Iddo the chief at the place Casiphia, and gave them orders what to say to Iddo and his brothers the Nethinim at the place Casiphia, so that they might come back to us with men to do the work of the house of our God.
我打發他們往迦西斐雅地方去見那裏的首領易多，又告訴他們當向易多和他的弟兄尼提寧說甚麼話，叫他們為我們上帝的殿帶使用的人來。
18 And by the help of our God they got for us Ish-sechel, one of the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel; and Sherebiah with his sons and brothers, eighteen;
蒙我們上帝施恩的手幫助我們，他們在以色列的曾孫、利未的孫子、抹利的後裔中帶一個通達人來；還有示利比和他的眾子與弟兄共一十八人。
19 And Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah of the sons of Merari, his brothers and their sons, twenty;
又有哈沙比雅，同着他有米拉利的子孫耶篩亞，並他的眾子和弟兄共二十人。
20 And of the Nethinim, to whom David and the captains had given the work of helping the Levites, two hundred and twenty Nethinim, all of them specially named.
從前大衛和眾首領派尼提寧服事利未人，現在從這尼提寧中也帶了二百二十人來，都是按名指定的。
21 Then I gave orders for a time of going without food, there by the river Ahava, so that we might make ourselves low before our God in prayer, requesting from him a straight way for us and for our little ones and for all our substance.
那時，我在亞哈瓦河邊宣告禁食，為要在我們上帝面前克苦己心，求他使我們和婦人孩子，並一切所有的，都得平坦的道路。
22 For I would not, for shame, make request to the king for a band of armed men and horsemen to give us help against those who might make attacks on us on the way: for we had said to the king, The hand of our God is on his servants for good, but his power and his wrath are against all those who are turned away from him.
我求王撥步兵馬兵幫助我們抵擋路上的仇敵，本以為羞恥；因我曾對王說：「我們上帝施恩的手必幫助一切尋求他的；但他的能力和忿怒必攻擊一切離棄他的。」
23 So we went without food, requesting our God for this: and his ear was open to our prayer.
所以我們禁食祈求我們的上帝，他就應允了我們。
24 So I put on one side twelve of the chiefs of the priests, Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brothers with them,
我分派祭司長十二人，就是示利比、哈沙比雅，和他們的弟兄十人，
25 And gave to them by weight the silver and the gold and the vessels, all the offering for the house of our God which the king and his wise men and his captains and all Israel there present had given:
將王和謀士、軍長，並在那裏的以色列眾人為我們上帝殿所獻的金銀和器皿，都秤了交給他們。
26 Measuring into their hands six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and silver vessels, a hundred talents' weight, and a hundred talents of gold,
我秤了交在他們手中的銀子有六百五十他連得；銀器重一百他連得；金子一百他連得；
27 And twenty gold basins, of a thousand darics, and two vessels of the best bright brass, equal in value to gold.
金碗二十個，重一千達利克；上等光銅的器皿兩個，寶貴如金。
28 And I said to them, You are holy to the Lord and the vessels are holy: and the silver and the gold are an offering freely given to the Lord, the God of your fathers.
我對他們說：「你們歸耶和華為聖，器皿也為聖；金銀是甘心獻給耶和華－你們列祖之上帝的。
29 Take care of them and keep them, till you put them on the scales before the chiefs of the priests and the Levites and the chiefs of the families of Israel, in Jerusalem, in the rooms of the house of the Lord.
你們當警醒看守，直到你們在耶路撒冷耶和華殿的庫內，在祭司長和利未族長，並以色列的各族長面前過了秤。」
30 So the priests and the Levites took the weight of silver and gold and the vessels, to take them to Jerusalem into the house of our God.
於是，祭司、利未人按着分量接受金銀和器皿，要帶到耶路撒冷我們上帝的殿裏。
31 Then we went away from the river of Ahava on the twelfth day of the first month, to go to Jerusalem; and the hand of our God was on us, and he gave us salvation from our haters and those who were waiting to make an attack on us by the way.
正月十二日，我們從亞哈瓦河邊起行，要往耶路撒冷去。我們上帝的手保佑我們，救我們脫離仇敵和路上埋伏之人的手。
32 And we came to Jerusalem and were there for three days.
我們到了耶路撒冷，在那裏住了三日。
33 And on the fourth day, the silver and the gold and the vessels were measured out by weight in the house of our God into the hands of Meremoth, the son of Uriah, the priest; and with him was Eleazar, the son of Phinehas; and with them were Jozabad, the son of Jeshua, and Noadiah, the son of Binnui, the Levites;
第四日，在我們上帝的殿裏把金銀和器皿都秤了，交在祭司烏利亞的兒子米利末的手中。同着他有非尼哈的兒子以利亞撒，還有利未人耶書亞的兒子約撒拔和賓內的兒子挪亞底。
34 All was handed over by number and by weight: and the weight was put on record at that time.
當時都點了數目，按着分量寫在冊上。
35 And those who had been prisoners, who had come back from a strange land, made burned offerings to the God of Israel, twelve oxen for all Israel, ninety-six male sheep, seventy-seven lambs, twelve he-goats for a sin-offering: all this was a burned offering to the Lord.
從擄到之地歸回的人向以色列的上帝獻燔祭，就是為以色列眾人獻公牛十二隻，公綿羊九十六隻，綿羊羔七十七隻，又獻公山羊十二隻作贖罪祭，這都是向耶和華焚獻的。
36 And they gave the king's orders to the king's captains and the rulers across the river, and they gave the people and the house of God the help which was needed.
他們將王的諭旨交給王所派的總督與河西的省長，他們就幫助百姓，又供給上帝殿裏所需用的。
