Ezra 8

1 These are the family heads and genealogical records of those who returned with me from Babylon during the reign of King Artaxerxes:

1 亚达薛西王年间，与我一起从巴比伦上到耶路撒冷之人的族长和家谱如下：

2 from the descendants of Phinehas, Gershom; from the descendants of Ithamar, Daniel; from the descendants of David, Hattush

2 非尼哈的子孙有革顺；以他玛的子孙有但以理；大卫的子孙有哈突；

3 of the descendants of Shecaniah; from the descendants of Parosh, Zechariah, and with him were registered 150 men;

3 巴录的后裔、示迦尼的子孙有撒迦利亚及一百五十名与他一同记入族谱的男子；

4 from the descendants of Pahath-Moab, Eliehoenai son of Zerahiah, and with him 200 men;

4 巴哈·摩押的子孙有西拉希雅的儿子以利约乃及二百名男子；

5 from the descendants of Zattu, Shecaniah son of Jahaziel, and with him 300 men;

5 萨土 的子孙有雅哈悉的儿子示迦尼及三百名男子；

6 from the descendants of Adin, Ebed son of Jonathan, and with him 50 men;

6 亚丁的子孙有约拿单的儿子以别及五十名男子；

7 from the descendants of Elam, Jeshaiah son of Athaliah, and with him 70 men;

7 以拦的子孙有亚他利雅的儿子耶筛亚及七十名男子；

8 from the descendants of Shephatiah, Zebadiah son of Michael, and with him 80 men;

8 示法提雅的子孙有米迦勒的儿子西巴第雅及八十名男子；

9 from the descendants of Joab, Obadiah son of Jehiel, and with him 218 men;

9 约押的子孙有耶歇的儿子俄巴底亚及二百一十八名男子；

10 from the descendants of Bani, Shelomith son of Josiphiah, and with him 160 men;

10 巴尼 的子孙有约细斐的儿子示罗密及一百六十名男子；

11 from the descendants of Bebai, Zechariah son of Bebai, and with him 28 men;

11 比拜的子孙有比拜的儿子撒迦利亚及二十八名男子；

12 from the descendants of Azgad, Johanan son of Hakkatan, and with him 110 men;

12 押甲的子孙有哈加坦的儿子约哈难及一百一十名男子；

13 from the later descendants of Adonikam, these were their names: Eliphelet, Jeiel, and Shemaiah, and with them 60 men;

13 稍后归回的亚多尼干的子孙有以利法列、耶利、示玛雅及六十名男子；

14 and from the descendants of Bigvai, both Uthai and Zaccur, and with them 70 men.

14 比革瓦伊的子孙有乌太、撒刻及七十名男子。

15 Now I assembled these exiles at the canal that flows to Ahava, and we camped there three days. And when I searched among the people and priests, I found no Levites there.

15 我把他们召集在流往亚哈瓦的河边，我们在那里扎营三天。我察看民众和祭司，发现他们当中没有利未人。

16 Then I summoned the leaders: Eliezer, Ariel, Shemaiah, Elnathan, Jarib, Elnathan, Nathan, Zechariah, and Meshullam, as well as the teachers Joiarib and Elnathan.

16 于是，我派人把首领以利以谢、亚列、示玛雅、以利拿单、雅立、以利拿单、拿单、撒迦利亚、米书兰及两位教师约雅立和以利拿单叫来。

17 And I sent them to Iddo, the leader at Casiphia, with a message for him and his kinsmen, the temple servants at Casiphia, that they should bring to us ministers for the house of our God.

17 我派他们去见迦西斐雅的首领易多，请他们告诉易多及其做殿役的亲族带一些人来我们上帝的殿里事奉。

18 And since the gracious hand of our God was upon us, they brought us Sherebiah—a man of insight from the descendants of Mahli son of Levi, the son of Israel—along with his sons and brothers, 18 men;

18 我们的上帝施恩帮助我们，他们给我们带来一位能干的人示利比及其弟兄和儿子共十八人。示利比是以色列的儿子利未的后裔抹利的子孙。

19 also Hashabiah, together with Jeshaiah, from the descendants of Merari, and his brothers and their sons, 20 men.

19 他们还带来哈沙比雅和米拉利的子孙耶筛亚，以及哈沙比雅的弟兄和儿子共二十人。

20 They also brought 220 of the temple servants, all designated by name. David and the officials had appointed them to assist the Levites.

20 此外还有二百二十名殿役，他们都是被点名指派的。从前大卫和众官员曾指派殿役服侍利未人。

21 And there by the Ahava Canal I proclaimed a fast, so that we might humble ourselves before our God and ask Him for a safe journey for us and our children, with all our possessions.

21 然后，我在亚哈瓦河边宣布禁食，为要在我们的上帝面前谦卑下来，祈求祂保护我们、我们的儿女及财物一路平安。

22 For I was ashamed to ask the king for an escort of soldiers and horsemen to protect us from our enemies on the road, since we had told him, “The hand of our God is gracious to all who seek Him, but His great anger is against all who forsake Him.”

22 我羞于求王派步兵和骑兵沿途帮助我们御敌，因为我们曾经告诉王：“我们的上帝会施恩帮助寻求祂的人，但会向背弃祂的人发烈怒。”

23 So we fasted and petitioned our God about this, and He granted our request.

23 因此，我们为这事禁食、寻求我们的上帝，祂应允了我们。

24 Then I set apart twelve of the leading priests, together with Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brothers,

24 我选出十二位祭司长：示利比、哈沙比雅和他们的十个弟兄。

25 and I weighed out to them the contribution of silver and gold and the articles that the king, his counselors, his leaders, and all the Israelites there had offered for the house of our God.

25 王及其谋士和将领，以及所有在场的以色列人献给我们上帝殿的金银和器皿，我都秤了交给他们。

26 I weighed out into their hands 650 talents of silver, articles of silver weighing 100 talents, 100 talents of gold,

26 我交给他们的有四十四万两银子、价值六万八千两银子的器皿、六万八千两金子、

27 20 gold bowls valued at 1,000 darics, and two articles of fine polished bronze, as precious as gold.

27 共重八公斤半的二十个金碗和两件贵重如金子的上等精铜器皿。

28 Then I told them, “You are holy to the LORD, and these articles are holy. The silver and gold are a freewill offering to the LORD, the God of your fathers.

28 我对他们说：“你们和这些器皿是献给耶和华的，金银是自愿献给你们祖先的上帝耶和华的礼物。

29 Guard them carefully until you weigh them out in the chambers of the house of the LORD in Jerusalem before the leading priests, Levites, and heads of the Israelite families.”

29 你们要好好保管，护送到耶路撒冷耶和华殿的库房里，要在祭司长、利未人和以色列的各族长面前过秤。”

30 So the priests and Levites took charge of the silver and gold and sacred articles that had been weighed out to be taken to the house of our God in Jerusalem.

30 于是，祭司和利未人接过这些称过的金、银和器皿，要带去耶路撒冷我们上帝的殿里。

31 On the twelfth day of the first month we set out from the Ahava Canal to go to Jerusalem, and the hand of our God was upon us to protect us from the hands of the enemies and bandits along the way.

31 一月十二日，我们从亚哈瓦河边出发上耶路撒冷。我们的上帝施恩帮助我们，救我们脱离仇敌和路上埋伏之人的攻击。

32 So we arrived at Jerusalem and rested there for three days.

32 到耶路撒冷后，我们休息了三天。

33 On the fourth day, in the house of our God, we weighed out the silver and gold and sacred articles into the hand of Meremoth son of Uriah, the priest. Eleazar son of Phinehas was with him, along with the Levites Jozabad son of Jeshua and Noadiah son of Binnui.

33 第四天，我们在上帝的殿里把金银和器皿过秤，交给乌利亚的儿子米利末祭司。在场的还有非尼哈的儿子以利亚撒，利未人耶书亚的儿子约撒拔和宾内的儿子挪亚底。

34 Everything was verified by number and weight, and the total weight was recorded at that time.

34 每样东西都被数过、称过，其重量都被记录下来。

35 Then the exiles who had returned from captivity sacrificed burnt offerings to the God of Israel: 12 bulls for all Israel, 96 rams, 77 lambs, and a sin offering of 12 male goats. All this was a burnt offering to the LORD.

35 从流亡之地归回的人又献燔祭给以色列的上帝，为全体以色列人献上十二头公牛、九十六只公绵羊和七十七只绵羊羔，并献上十二只公山羊作赎罪祭。这些都是献给耶和华的燔祭。

36 They also delivered the king’s edicts to the royal satraps and governors of the region west of the Euphrates, who proceeded to assist the people and the house of God.

36 他们将王的谕旨交给王的总督和幼发拉底河西的省长，众官员都为民众和上帝殿的工作提供帮助。
