以斯拉記 1:1-11

塞魯士下令猶太人回國

1波斯塞魯士元年,耶和華為要應驗祂藉耶利米所說的話,就感動波斯塞魯士,使他下詔通告全國:

2波斯塞魯士如此說,『天上的上帝耶和華已把天下萬國都賜給我,祂吩咐我在猶大耶路撒冷為祂建造殿宇。 3你們當中凡是耶和華的子民,都可以去猶大耶路撒冷,為住在耶路撒冷以色列的上帝耶和華建殿,願上帝與他們同在! 4凡留下不回國的人,無論住在哪裡,都要用金銀、財物和牲畜幫助同區那些將要回國的人,此外還要為耶路撒冷的上帝的殿獻上自願獻的禮物。』」

5於是,猶大便雅憫的族長、祭司和利未人——所有被上帝感動的人都準備上耶路撒冷重建耶和華的殿。 6他們周圍的人除了獻上自願獻的禮物外,還拿出銀器、金子、財物、牲畜和珍寶來支持他們。 7巴比倫尼布甲尼撒曾從耶路撒冷耶和華的殿裡帶回珍貴的器皿,放在自己神明的廟裡。波斯塞魯士將這些器皿取出來, 8派財政大臣米提利達如數交給猶大的首領設巴薩9三十個金盤、一千個銀盤、二十九把刀、 10三十個金碗、四百一十個次等銀碗及一千件其他器皿, 11共有五千四百件金銀器皿。被擄者從巴比倫耶路撒冷時,設巴薩把這些器皿一併帶去。

King James Version

Ezra 1:1-11

1Now 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,1.1 made…: Heb. caused a voice to pass 2Thus 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. 3Who 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. 4And 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.1.4 help…: Heb. lift him up

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. 6And 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.1.6 strengthened…: that is, helped them

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; 8Even those did Cyrus king of Persia bring forth by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and numbered them unto Sheshbazzar, the prince of Judah. 9And this is the number of them: thirty chargers of gold, a thousand chargers of silver, nine and twenty knives, 10Thirty basons of gold, silver basons of a second sort four hundred and ten, and other vessels a thousand. 11All 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.1.11 the captivity: Heb. the transportation
