Ezra 6
1 Then Darius the king made a decree, and they sought in the house of the scrolls of the treasuries placed there in Babylon,
于是大流士王降旨，要寻察典籍库内，就是在巴比伦藏宝物之处；
2 and there has been found at Achmetha, in a palace that [is] in the province of Media, a scroll, and a record thus written within it [is]:
在米底亚省亚马他城的宫内寻得一卷，其中记着说：
3 “In the first year of Cyrus the king, Cyrus the king has made a decree concerning the house of God in Jerusalem: let the house be built in the place where they are sacrificing sacrifices, and its foundations strongly laid; its height sixty cubits, its breadth sixty cubits;
“塞鲁士王元年，他降旨论到耶路撒冷 神的殿，要建造这殿为献祭之处，坚立殿的根基。殿高六十肘，宽六十肘，
4 three rows of rolled stones, and a row of new wood, and let the outlay be given out of the king’s house.
用三层大石头，一层新木头，经费要出于王库；
5 And also, the vessels of the house of God, of gold and silver, that Nebuchadnezzar took forth out of the temple that [is] in Jerusalem, and brought to Babylon, let be given back, and go to the temple that [is] in Jerusalem, [each] to its place, and put [them] down in the house of God.
并且 神殿的金银器皿，就是尼布甲尼撒从耶路撒冷的殿中掠到巴比伦的，要归还带到耶路撒冷的殿中，各按原处放在 神的殿里。”
6 Now Tatnai, governor beyond the river, Shethar-Boznai, and their companions, the Apharsachites, who [are] beyond the river, be far from here;
“现在河西的总督达乃和示他·波斯乃，并你们的同党，就是住河西的亚法萨迦人，你们当远离他们。
7 let alone the work of this house of God, let the governor of the Jews, and [the] elders of the Jews, build this house of God on its place.
不要拦阻 神殿的工作，任凭犹大人的省长和犹大人的长老在原处建造 神的这殿。
8 And a decree is made by me concerning that which you do with [the] elders of these Jews to build this house of God, that of [the] riches of [the] king, that [are] of [the] tribute beyond [the] river, let the outlay be given speedily to these men, that they do not cease;
我又降旨，吩咐你们向犹大人的长老为建造 神的殿当怎样行，就是从河西的款项中，急速拨取贡银作他们的经费，免得耽误工作。
9 and what they are needing—both young bullocks, and rams, and lambs for burnt-offerings to the God of the heavens, wheat, salt, wine, and oil according to the saying of the priests who [are] in Jerusalem—let be given to them day by day without fail,
他们与天上的 神献燔祭所需用的公牛犊、公绵羊、绵羊羔，并所用的麦子、盐、酒、油，都要照耶路撒冷祭司的话，每日供给他们，不得有误；
10 that they are bringing sweet savors near to the God of the heavens, and praying for the life of the king, and of his sons.
好叫他们献馨香的祭给天上的 神，又为王和王众子的寿命祈祷。
11 And a decree is made by me, that anyone who changes this thing, let wood be pulled down from his house, and being raised up, let him be struck on it, and let his house be made a dunghill for this.
我再降旨，无论谁更改这命令，必从他房屋中拆出一根梁来，把他举起，悬在其上，又使他的房屋成为粪堆。
12 And God, who caused His Name to dwell there, casts down any king and people that puts forth his hand to change, to destroy this house of God that [is] in Jerusalem; I Darius have made a decree; let it be done speedily.”
若有王和民伸手更改这命令，拆毁这殿，愿那使耶路撒冷的殿作为他名居所的 神将他们灭绝。我—大流士降这旨意，当速速遵行。”
13 Then Tatnai, governor beyond the river, Shethar-Boznai, and their companions, according to that which Darius the king has sent, so they have done speedily;
于是，河西总督达乃和示他·波斯乃，并他们的同党，因大流士王所发的命令，就急速遵行。
14 and [the] elders of [the] Jews are building and prospering through [the] prophecy of Haggai [the] prophet, and Zechariah son of Iddo, and they have built and finished by [the] decree of [the] God of Israel, and by [the] decree of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.
犹大长老因先知哈该和易多的孙子撒迦利亚所说劝勉的话就建造这殿，凡事亨通。他们遵着以色列 神的命令和波斯王塞鲁士、大流士、亚达薛西的旨意，建造完毕。
15 And this house has gone out until the third day of the month Adar, that is [in] the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.
大流士王第六年，亚达月初三日，这殿修成了。
16 And the sons of Israel have made, [and] the priests, and the Levites, and the rest of the sons of the captivity, a dedication of this house of God with joy,
以色列的祭司和利未人，并其余被掳归回的人都欢欢喜喜地行奉献 神殿的礼。
17 and have brought near for the dedication of this house of God: one hundred bullocks, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs; and twelve young male goats for a sin-offering for all Israel according to the number of the tribes of Israel;
行奉献 神殿的礼就献公牛一百只，公绵羊二百只，绵羊羔四百只，又照以色列支派的数目献公山羊十二只，为以色列众人作赎罪祭；
18 and they have established the priests in their divisions, and the Levites in their courses, over the service of God that [is] in Jerusalem, as it is written in the scroll of Moses.
且派祭司和利未人按着班次在耶路撒冷事奉 神，是照摩西律法书上所写的。
19 And the sons of the captivity make the Passover on the fourteenth of the first month,
正月十四日，被掳归回的人守逾越节。
20 for the priests and the Levites have been purified together—all of them [are] pure—and they slaughter the Passover for all the sons of the captivity, and for their brothers the priests, and for themselves.
原来，祭司和利未人一同自洁，无一人不洁净。利未人为被掳归回的众人和他们的弟兄众祭司，并为自己宰逾越节的羊羔。
21 And the sons of Israel, those returning from the captivity, and everyone who is separated from the uncleanness of the nations of the land to them, to seek to YHWH, God of Israel, eat,
从掳到之地归回的以色列人和一切除掉所染外邦人污秽、归附他们、要寻求耶和华—以色列 神的人都吃这羊羔，
22 and they make the Celebration of Unleavened Things seven days with joy, for YHWH made them to rejoice, and turned around the heart of the king of Asshur to them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.
欢欢喜喜地守除酵节七日；因为耶和华使他们欢喜，又使亚述王的心转向他们，坚固他们的手，作以色列 神殿的工程。
