Ezra 1
1 In the first year of Cyrus, king of Persia, Yahweh fulfilled his word that came from the mouth of Jeremiah, and stirred Cyrus's spirit. Cyrus' voice went out over his entire kingdom. This is what was written and spoken:
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 “Cyrus, king of Persia, says: Yahweh, God of Heaven, gave me all the kingdoms of the earth, and he appointed me to build for him a house in Jerusalem in Judea.
「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 Whoever is from his people (may his God be with him) may go up to Jerusalem and build a house for Yahweh, the God of Israel, the God who 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 People of any part of the kingdom where survivors of that land are living should provide them with silver and gold, possessions and animals, as well as a freewill offering for God's house 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 Then the heads of the ancestors' clans of Judah and Benjamin, the priests and Levites, and everyone whose spirit God stirred to go and build his house arose.
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 Those around them supported their work with silver and gold objects, possessions, animals, valuables, and freewill offerings.
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 Cyrus king of Persia also released the objects belonging to Yahweh's house that Nebuchadnezzar had brought from Jerusalem and put in his own gods' houses.
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 Cyrus put them into the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, who counted them out for Sheshbazzar, Judea's leader.
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 This was their number: thirty gold basins, one thousand silver basins, twenty-nine other basins,
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 thirty gold bowls, 410 small silver bowls, and one thousand additional objects.
金碗三十個，銀碗之次的四百一十個，別樣的器皿一千件。
11 There were 5,400 gold and silver items in all. Sheshbazzar brought all of them when the exiles went 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。
