Ezra 1

1 In the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, to fulfill the word of the LORD spoken through Jeremiah, the LORD stirred the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia to send a proclamation throughout his kingdom and to put it in writing as follows:

1 波斯王塞鲁士元年，耶和华为应验祂借耶利米所说的话，就感动波斯王塞鲁士，使他下诏通告全国：

2 “This is what Cyrus king of Persia says: ‘The LORD, the God of heaven, who has given me all the kingdoms of the earth, has appointed me to build a house for Him at Jerusalem in Judah.

2 “波斯王塞鲁士如此说，‘天上的上帝耶和华已把天下万国都赐给我，祂委派我在犹大的耶路撒冷为祂建造殿宇。

3 Whoever among you belongs to His people, may his God be with him, and may he go to Jerusalem in Judah and build the house of the LORD, the God of Israel; He is the God who is in Jerusalem.

3 你们当中凡属耶和华的子民，都可以去犹大的耶路撒冷，为住在耶路撒冷的以色列的上帝耶和华建殿，愿上帝与他们同在！

4 And let every survivor, wherever he lives, be assisted by the men of that region with silver, gold, goods, and livestock, along with a freewill offering for the house of God in Jerusalem.’”

4 所有余民无论寄居在哪里，当地的人都要用金银、财物和牲畜帮助他们，还要为耶路撒冷的上帝之殿自愿献上礼物。’”

5 So the family heads of Judah and Benjamin, along with the priests and Levites—everyone whose spirit God had stirred—prepared to go up and rebuild the house of the LORD in Jerusalem.

5 于是，犹大和便雅悯的族长、祭司和利未人等所有被上帝感动的人，都准备上耶路撒冷重建耶和华的殿。

6 And all their neighbors supported them with articles of silver and gold, with goods and livestock, and with valuables, in addition to all their freewill offerings.

6 他们周围的人除了献上自愿献的礼物外，还拿出银器、金子、财物、牲畜和珍宝来支持他们。

7 King Cyrus also brought out the articles belonging to the house of the LORD that Nebuchadnezzar had carried away from Jerusalem and placed in the temple of his gods.

7 巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒曾从耶路撒冷耶和华的殿里带回器皿，放在自己的神庙里。波斯王塞鲁士将这些器皿取出来，

8 Cyrus king of Persia had them brought out by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, who counted them out to Sheshbazzar the prince of Judah.

8 派财政大臣米提利达如数交给犹大的首领设巴萨：

9 This was the inventory: 30 gold dishes, 1,000 silver dishes, 29 silver utensils,

9 三十个金盘、一千个银盘、二十九把刀、

10 30 gold bowls, 410 matching silver bowls, and 1,000 other articles.

10 三十个金碗、四百一十个次等银碗及一千件其他器皿，

11 In all, there were 5,400 gold and silver articles. Sheshbazzar brought all these along when the exiles went up from Babylon to Jerusalem.

11 共有五千四百件金银器皿。被掳者从巴比伦上耶路撒冷时，设巴萨把这些器皿一并带去。
