< 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 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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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:
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 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 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 cups of gold, silver cups of a second degree four hundred and ten, 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 and four hundred. All these did Sheshbazzar bring up with the exiles that were brought up from Babylon unto 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。
