< Ezra 1 >

1 Nowe in the first yere of Cyrus King of Persia (that the worde of the Lord, spoken by the mouth of Ieremiah, might be accomplished) the Lord stirred vp the spirite of Cyrus King of Persia, and hee made a Proclamation thorowe all his Kingdome, and also by 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 saith Cyrus King of Persia, The Lord God of heauen hath giuen me all the kingdomes of the earth, and he hath commanded me to builde him an house in Ierusalem, which is in Iudah.
「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 he among you of all his people with whome his God is? let him goe vp to Ierusalem which is in Iudah, and buylde the house of the Lord God of Israel: he is the God, which is in Ierusalem.
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 euery one that remayneth in any place (where he soiourneth) let the men of his place relieue him with siluer and with golde, and with substance, and with cattel, and with a willing offring, for the house of God that is in Ierusalem.
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 chiefe fathers of Iudah and Beniamin, and the Priests and Leuites rose vp, with al them whose spirit God had raysed to goe vp, to builde the house of the Lord which is in Ierusalem.
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 they that were about them, strengthened their handes with vessels of siluer, with golde, with substance and with cattell, and with precious thinges, besides all that was willingly offred.
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 Also the King Cyrus brought forth the vessels of the house of the Lord, which Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of Ierusalem, and had put them in the house of his god.
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 Euen them did Cyrus King of Persia bring forth by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and counted them vnto Sheshbazzar the Prince of Iudah.
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 the nomber of them, thirtie basins of golde, a thousand basins of siluer, nine and twentie kniues,
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 Thirtie boules of gold, and of siluer boules of the second sort, foure hundreth and tenne, and of 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 golde and siluer were fiue thousand and foure hundreth. Sheshbazzar brought vp all with them of the captiuitie that came vp from Babel to Ierusalem.
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。
