拉1:1 波斯王古列元年，耶和华为要应验藉耶利米口所说的话，就激动波斯王古列的心，使他下诏通告全国说：
拉1:1 Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,
拉1:2 “波斯王古列如此说：‘耶和华天上的 神，已将天下万国赐给我，又嘱咐我在犹大的耶路撒冷为他建造殿宇。
拉1:2 Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, The LORD God of heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he hath charged me to build him an house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah.
拉1:3 在你们中间凡作他子民的，可以上犹大的耶路撒冷，在耶路撒冷重建耶和华以色列 神的殿（只有他是 神），愿 神与这人同在。
拉1:3 Who is there among you of all his people? his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of the LORD God of Israel, (he is the God,) which is in Jerusalem.
拉1:4 凡剩下的人，无论寄居何处，那地的人要用金银、财物、牲畜帮助他；另外也要为耶路撒冷 神的殿，甘心献上礼物。’”
拉1:4 And whosoever remaineth in any place where he sojourneth, let the men of his place help him with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts, beside the freewill offering for the house of God that is in Jerusalem.
拉1:5 于是，犹大和便雅悯的族长、祭司、利未人，就是一切被 神激动他心的人，都起来，要上耶路撒冷去建造耶和华的殿。
拉1:5 Then rose up the chief of the fathers of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, with all them whose spirit God had raised, to go up to build the house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem.
拉1:6 他们四围的人就拿银器、金子、财物、牲畜、珍宝帮助他们（原文作“坚固他们的手”），另外还有甘心献的礼物。
拉1:6 And all they that were about them strengthened their hands with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and with beasts, and with precious things, beside all that was willingly offered.
拉1:7 古列王也将耶和华殿的器皿拿出来，这器皿是尼布甲尼撒从耶路撒冷掠来，放在自己 神之庙中的。
拉1:7 Also Cyrus the king brought forth the vessels of the house of the LORD, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought forth out of Jerusalem, and had put them in the house of his gods;
拉1:8 波斯王古列派库官米提利达将这器皿拿出来，按数交给犹大的首领设巴萨。
拉1:8 Even those did Cyrus king of Persia bring forth by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and numbered them unto Sheshbazzar, the prince of Judah.
拉1:9 器皿的数目记在下面：金盘三十个，银盘一千个，刀二十九把，
拉1:9 And this is the number of them: thirty chargers of gold, a thousand chargers of silver, nine and twenty knives,
拉1:10 金碗三十个，银碗之次的四百一十个，别样的器皿一千件。
拉1:10 Thirty basons of gold, silver basons of a second sort four hundred and ten, and other vessels a thousand.
拉1:11 金银器皿共有五千四百件。被掳的人从巴比伦上耶路撒冷的时候，设巴萨将这一切都带上来。
拉1:11 All the vessels of gold and of silver were five thousand and four hundred. All these did Sheshbazzar bring up with them of the captivity that were brought up from Babylon unto Jerusalem.
