< Ezra 1 >

1 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,
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 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.
“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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 handes with vessels of siluer, with golde, with substance and with cattell, and with precious thinges, besides all that was willingly offred.
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 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.
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 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.
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 nomber of them, thirtie basins of golde, a thousand basins of siluer, nine and twentie kniues,
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 Thirtie boules of gold, and of siluer boules of the second sort, foure hundreth and tenne, and of 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 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.
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。
