Ezra 1
1 Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and [put it] also in 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 saith Cyrus king of Persia, The LORD God of heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he hath charged me to build 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 Who [is there] 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 the LORD 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 whoever remaineth in any place where he sojourneth, let the men of his place help him with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts, besides the free-will-offering for the house of God that [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 arose the chief of the fathers of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, with all [them] whose spirit God had raised, 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 they that [were] about them strengthened their hands with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and with beasts, and with precious things, besides 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 Cyrus the king brought forth the vessels of the house of the LORD, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought from Jerusalem, and had put them in the house of his gods;
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 those did Cyrus king of Persia bring forth by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and numbered them to Sheshbazzar, the prince of 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] the number of them: 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 basins of gold, silver basins of a second [sort] four hundred and ten, [and] 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 with [them of] the captivity that were brought from Babylon to 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。
