“诸王之王亚达薛西，达于祭司以斯拉通达天上 神律法大德的文士，云云。
13 It is demyd of me, that whom euer it plesith in my rewme of the puple of Israel, and of hise preestis, and dekenes, to go in to Jerusalem, go he with thee.
住在我国中的以色列人、祭司、利未人，凡甘心上耶路撒冷去的，我降旨准他们与你同去。
14 For thou art sent fro the face of the kyng and of hise seuene counseleris, that thou visite Judee and Jerusalem in the lawe of thi God, which is in thin hond;
王与七个谋士既然差你去，照你手中 神的律法书察问犹大和耶路撒冷的景况；
15 and that thou bere siluer and gold, which the kyng and hise counseleris han offrid bi fre wille to God of Israel, whos tabernacle is in Jerusalem.
又带金银，就是王和谋士甘心献给住耶路撒冷、以色列 神的，
16 And take thou freli al siluer and gold, which euer thou fyndist in al the prouynce of Babiloyne, and the puple wole offre, and of preestis that offriden bi fre wille to the hows of her God, which is in Jerusalem;
并带你在巴比伦全省所得的金银，和百姓、祭司乐意献给耶路撒冷—他们 神殿的礼物。
17 and bie thou bisili of this monei calues, rammes, lambren, and sacrifices, and moiste sacrifices of tho; and offre thou tho on the auter of the temple of youre God, which temple is in Jerusalem.
所以你当用这金银，急速买公牛、公绵羊、绵羊羔，和同献的素祭奠祭之物，献在耶路撒冷—你们 神殿的坛上。
18 But also if ony thing plesith to thee, and to thi britheren, for to do of the residue siluer and gold, do ye bi the wille of youre God;
剩下的金银，你和你的弟兄看着怎样好，就怎样用，总要遵着你们 神的旨意。

“我—亚达薛西王又降旨与河西的一切库官，说：‘通达天上 神律法的文士祭司以斯拉，无论向你们要什么，你们要速速地备办，
22 `til to an hundrid talentis of siluer, and to an hundrid `mesuris clepid chorus of wheete, and til an hundrid mesuris clepid bathus of wyn, and `til to an hundrid `mesuris clepid bathus of oile, salt forsothe without mesure.
就是银子直到一百他连得，麦子一百柯珥，酒一百罢特，油一百罢特，盐不计其数，也要给他。
23 Al thing that perteyneth to the custom, `ethir religioun, of God of heuene, be youun diligentli in the hows of God of heuene, lest perauenture he be wrooth ayens the rewme of the kyng and of hise sones.
凡天上之 神所吩咐的，当为天上 神的殿详细办理。为何使忿怒临到王和王众子的国呢？
24 Also we make knowun to you of alle the preestis, and dekenes, syngeris, and porteris, and Nathyneis, and mynystris of the hows of this God, `that ye han not power to put on hem tol, and tribute, and costis for keperis of the lond.
我又晓谕你们，至于祭司、利未人、歌唱的、守门的，和尼提宁，并在 神殿当差的人，不可叫他们进贡，交课，纳税。’
25 Forsothe thou, Esdras, bi the wisdom of thi God, which is in thin hond, ordeyne iugis and gouernouris, that thei deme to the puple, which is biyende the flood, that is, to hem that kunnen the lawe of thi God, and the lawe of the kyng; but also teche ye freli vnkunnynge men.
“以斯拉啊，要照着你 神赐你的智慧，将所有明白你 神律法的人立为士师、审判官，治理河西的百姓，使他们教训一切不明白 神律法的人。
26 And ech man, that doth not the lawe of thi God, and the lawe of the kyng diligentli, doom schal be of hym, ethir in to the deeth, ethir in to exilyng, ethir in to condempnyng of his catel, ethir certis in to prisoun. And Esdras, the writere, seide, Blissid be the Lord God of oure fadris,
凡不遵行你 神律法和王命令的人就当速速定他的罪，或治死，或充军，或抄家，或囚禁。”
27 that yaf this thing in the herte of the kyng, that he schulde glorifie the hows of the Lord,
以斯拉说：“耶和华—我们列祖的 神是应当称颂的！因他使王起这心意修饰耶路撒冷耶和华的殿，
28 which is in Jerusalem, and bowide his mercy in to me bifor the kyng, and hise counseleris, and bifore alle the myyti princes of the kyng. And Y was coumfortid bi the hond of `my Lord God, that was in me, and Y gederide of the sones of Israel princes, that stieden with me.
又在王和谋士，并大能的军长面前施恩于我。因耶和华—我 神的手帮助我，我就得以坚强，从以色列中招聚首领，与我一同上来。”
