< Ezra 1 >
1 In the first year of Cyrus, king of the Persians, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus, king of the Persians, so that the word of the Lord from the mouth of Jeremiah would be fulfilled. And he sent out a voice, throughout his entire kingdom, and also in writing, saying:
波斯王塞鲁士元年,耶和华为要应验借耶利米口所说的话,就激动波斯王塞鲁士的心,使他下诏通告全国说:
2 “Thus says Cyrus, the king of the Persians: The Lord, the God of heaven, has given all the kingdoms of the earth to me, and he himself has instructed me that I should build a house for him in Jerusalem, which is in Judea.
“波斯王塞鲁士如此说:‘耶和华天上的 神已将天下万国赐给我,又嘱咐我在犹大的耶路撒冷为他建造殿宇。
3 Who among you is from his entire people? May his God be with him. Let him ascend to Jerusalem, which is in Judea, and let him build the house of the Lord, the God of Israel. He is the God who is in Jerusalem.
在你们中间凡作他子民的,可以上犹大的耶路撒冷,在耶路撒冷重建耶和华—以色列 神的殿(只有他是 神)。愿 神与这人同在。
4 And let all who remain, in all the places wherever they may live, assist him, each man from his place, with silver and gold, and goods and cattle, in addition to whatever they may offer voluntarily to the temple of God, which is in Jerusalem.”
凡剩下的人,无论寄居何处,那地的人要用金银、财物、牲畜帮助他,另外也要为耶路撒冷 神的殿甘心献上礼物。’”
5 And the leaders of the fathers from Judah and from Benjamin, with the priests, and the Levites, and all those whose spirit was stirred by God, rose up, so that they might ascend to build the temple of the Lord, which was in Jerusalem.
于是,犹大和便雅悯的族长、祭司、利未人,就是一切被 神激动他心的人,都起来要上耶路撒冷去建造耶和华的殿。
6 And all those who were all around assisted their hands with vessels of silver and gold, with goods and cattle, with equipment, in addition to whatever they had offered freely.
他们四围的人就拿银器、金子、财物、牲畜、珍宝帮助他们,另外还有甘心献的礼物。
7 Likewise, king Cyrus offered the vessels of the temple of the Lord, which Nebuchadnezzar had taken from Jerusalem and had placed in the temple of his god.
塞鲁士王也将耶和华殿的器皿拿出来,这器皿是尼布甲尼撒从耶路撒冷掠来、放在自己神之庙中的。
8 Now Cyrus, king of Persia, offered these by the hand of Mithredath, the son of the treasurer, and he counted these out to Sheshbazzar, the leader of Judah.
波斯王塞鲁士派库官米提利达将这器皿拿出来,按数交给犹大的首领设巴萨。
9 And this is their number: thirty gold bowls, one thousand silver bowls, twenty-nine knives, thirty gold cups,
器皿的数目记在下面:金盘三十个,银盘一千个,刀二十九把,
10 four hundred ten of a second kind of silver cup, one thousand other vessels.
金碗三十个,银碗之次的四百一十个,别样的器皿一千件。
11 All the vessels of gold and silver were five thousand four hundred. Sheshbazzar brought all these, with those who ascended from the transmigration of Babylon, into Jerusalem.
金银器皿共有五千四百件。被掳的人从巴比伦上耶路撒冷的时候,设巴萨将这一切都带上来。
