< Ezra 1 >
1 And in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, at the completion of the word of Jehovah from the mouth of Jeremiah, hath Jehovah waked up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, and he causeth an intimation to pass over into all his kingdom, and also in writing, saying,
波斯王塞魯士元年,耶和華為要應驗藉耶利米口所說的話,就激動波斯王塞魯士的心,使他下詔通告全國說:
2 'Thus said Cyrus king of Persia, All kingdoms of the earth hath Jehovah, God of the heavens, given to me, and He hath laid a charge on me to build to Him a house in Jerusalem, that [is] in Judah;
「波斯王塞魯士如此說:『耶和華天上的上帝已將天下萬國賜給我,又囑咐我在猶大的耶路撒冷為他建造殿宇。
3 who [is] among you of all His people? His God is with him, and he doth go up to Jerusalem, that [is] in Judah, and build the house of Jehovah, God of Israel — He [is] God — that [is] in Jerusalem.
在你們中間凡作他子民的,可以上猶大的耶路撒冷,在耶路撒冷重建耶和華-以色列上帝的殿(只有他是上帝)。願上帝與這人同在。
4 'And every one who is left, of any of the places where he [is] a sojourner, assist him do the men of his place with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts, along with a free-will offering for the house of God, that [is] in Jerusalem.'
凡剩下的人,無論寄居何處,那地的人要用金銀、財物、牲畜幫助他,另外也要為耶路撒冷上帝的殿甘心獻上禮物。』」
5 And heads of the fathers of Judah and Benjamin rise, and the priests and the Levites, even every one whose spirit God hath waked, to go up to build the house of Jehovah, that [is] in Jerusalem;
於是,猶大和便雅憫的族長、祭司、利未人,就是一切被上帝激動他心的人,都起來要上耶路撒冷去建造耶和華的殿。
6 and all those round about them have strengthened [them] with their hands, with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and with beasts, and with precious things, apart from all that hath been offered willingly.
他們四圍的人就拿銀器、金子、財物、牲畜、珍寶幫助他們,另外還有甘心獻的禮物。
7 And the king Cyrus hath brought out the vessels of the house of Jehovah that Nebuchadnezzar hath brought out of Jerusalem, and putteth them in the house of his gods;
塞魯士王也將耶和華殿的器皿拿出來,這器皿是尼布甲尼撒從耶路撒冷掠來、放在自己神之廟中的。
8 yea, Cyrus king of Persia bringeth them out by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and numbereth them to Sheshbazzar the prince of Judah.
波斯王塞魯士派庫官米提利達將這器皿拿出來,按數交給猶大的首領設巴薩。
9 And this [is] their number: dishes of gold thirty, dishes of silver a thousand, knives nine and twenty,
器皿的數目記在下面:金盤三十個,銀盤一千個,刀二十九把,
10 basins of gold thirty, basins of silver (seconds) four hundred and ten, other vessels a thousand.
金碗三十個,銀碗之次的四百一十個,別樣的器皿一千件。
11 All the vessels of gold and of silver [are] five thousand and four hundred; the whole hath Sheshbazzar brought up with the going up of the removal from Babylon to Jerusalem.
金銀器皿共有五千四百件。被擄的人從巴比倫上耶路撒冷的時候,設巴薩將這一切都帶上來。
