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 the kyng of Persis, seith these thingis, The Lord God of heuene yaf to me alle the rewmes of erthe, and he comaundide to me, that Y schulde bilde to hym an hows in Jerusalem, which is in Judee.
「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 among you of al his puple? his God be with hym; stie he in to Jerusalem, which is in Judee, and bilde he the hows of the Lord God of Israel; he is God, which 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。

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 alle men that weren `in cumpas helpiden the hondis of hem, in vesselis of siluer, and of gold, `in catel, in purtenaunce of houshold, and in alle werk beestis, outakun these thingis which thei offriden bi fre wille.

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 Sotheli Cyrus, the kyng of Persis, brouyte forth tho bi the hond of Mytridatis, sone of Gazabar; and noumbride tho to Sasabazar, the prince of Juda.
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 noumbre of tho vessels; goldun violis, thritti; siluerne viols, a thousynde; `grete knyues, nyne and twenti; goldun cuppis, thritti; siluerne cuppis,
