< Ezra 1 >
1 And in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of Jehovah by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, Jehovah stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, and he made a proclamation throughout his 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 king of Persia: All the kingdoms of the earth has Jehovah the God of the heavens given to me, and he has charged me to build him a house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah.
“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 Whosoever there is among you of all his people, his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of Jehovah the God of Israel — he is God — which is at 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 whosoever remains in any place where he sojourns, let the men of his place help him with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts, besides the voluntary offering for the house of God which is at 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 chief fathers of Judah and Benjamin rose up, and the priests, and the Levites, even all those whose spirit God had stirred, to go up to build the house of Jehovah which is at 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 they that were about them strengthened their hands with articles of silver, with gold, with goods, and with beasts, and with precious things, besides all that was willingly offered.
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 And king Cyrus brought forth the vessels of the house of Jehovah, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought forth out of Jerusalem and had put in the house 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 And Cyrus king of Persia brought them forth by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, who counted them out to Sheshbazzar the prince 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 the number of them: thirty chargers of gold, a thousand chargers of silver, nine-and-twenty knives,
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 thirty basons of gold, silver basons of a second [sort] four hundred and ten, [and] other vessels a thousand.
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 of silver were five thousand four hundred. The whole did Sheshbazzar bring up, when they of the captivity were brought up from Babylon to 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。
