Ezra 1
1 And in the first year of Cyrus the king of Persia, at the time the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah was accomplished, the Lord awakened the spirit of Cyrus the king of Persia; and he caused a proclamation to be made throughout all his kingdom, and also by means of writing, saying,
波斯王居魯士元年，為應驗上主藉耶肋米亞的口所說的話，上主感動波斯王居魯士的心，叫他出一道號令，並向全國頒發上諭說：
2 Thus hath said Cyrus the king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth hath the Lord the God of heaven given unto me; and he hath directed me to build for him a house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah.
「波斯王居魯士這樣說：上天的神「雅威」將地上萬國交給了我，囑咐我在猶大的耶路撒冷，為衪建築一座殿宇。
3 Whoever among you that is of all his people, may his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of the Lord the God of Israel, he is the God who is in Jerusalem.
你們中間凡作衪子民的，願他的神與他同在，上赫特4的耶路撒冷，建築以色列的神「雅威」的──是在耶路撒冷的神。
4 And whosoever remaineth out of any place where he hath sojourned, him shall the men of his place assist with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts, beside the freewill offering for the house of God which is in Jerusalem.
所有的遺民，無論僑居在地方，那地方的人都應捐獻金銀、貨財、牲畜，以及自願的獻儀，為那在耶路撒冷的神修建殿宇」。
5 Then rose up the chiefs of the divisions of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, with all those whose spirit God had awakened, to go up to build the house of the Lord which is in Jerusalem.
於是，猶大和本雅明的族長、司祭、肋未人，以及那些受天主感動了心的人，就起身上去，要建築耶路撒冷的上主的殿宇；
6 And all those that were round about them supplied them with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and with beasts, and with precious things, beside all that was willingly offered.
四鄰八舍都拿出a的金銀、貨財、牲畜和珠實來協助他們，另外還有各種自願的獻儀。
7 Also king Cyrus brought forth the vessels of the house of the Lord, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought away out of Jerusalem, and had placed in the house of his god:
居魯士王也將上主殿內的器皿，即先前拿步高從耶路撒冷掠奪而放在他神殿裏的器皿，
8 Even these did Cyrus the king of Persia bring forth through the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and counted them out unto Sheshbazzar the prince for Judah.
波斯王居魯士司庫官米特達特，將那些東西拿出，點交給猶太人的首領舍士巴匝，
9 And this is their number: Thirty chargers of gold, a thousand chargers of silver, nine and twenty knives,
共計金盆三十，銀盆一千，刀子二十九，
10 Thirty cups of gold, silver cups of a second degree four hundred and ten, other vessels a thousand.
金碗三十，次等銀碗四百一十，其他器皿一千：
11 All the vessels of gold and of silver were five thousand and four hundred. All these did Sheshbazzar bring up with the exiles that were brought up from Babylon unto Jerusalem.
一切金銀器皿，共五千四百件。舍市巴匝就帶著這一切與充軍的人，從巴比倫回了耶路撒冷。
