发现塞鲁士王的谕旨
6 于是,大流士王下令查阅保存在巴比伦库房里的典籍。 2 在玛代省亚马他城的宫内找到一卷书,书中记载如下:
3 “塞鲁士王元年,塞鲁士王就耶路撒冷的上帝之殿降下谕旨,要重建这殿作献祭之处,要奠立殿的地基。殿要高二十七米、宽二十七米, 4 每三层巨石加铺一层木料,经费由国库支付。 5 尼布甲尼撒从耶路撒冷上帝的殿里掳到巴比伦的金银器皿,都要归还到耶路撒冷上帝的殿里,放回原处。”
6 于是,大流士王降旨:
“河西总督达乃、示他·波斯乃,以及你们的同僚——河西的官员,要远离那殿! 7 不要干涉上帝殿的建造,要让犹太人的省长和长老在原址上重建这座上帝的殿。 8 另外,我降旨命你们帮助犹太人的长老建造上帝的殿,要立刻从河西的王室税收中拨出款项作建殿之用,以免耽误工程。 9 他们向天上的上帝献燔祭时所需的公牛犊、公绵羊、绵羊羔、小麦、盐、酒和油,都要照耶路撒冷祭司的话天天供给他们,不得有误, 10 好让他们向天上的上帝献上蒙悦纳的祭物,并为王和众王子求寿。 11 我再降旨,若有人更改这谕旨,必从他的房屋抽掉一根大梁,把他钉在梁上挂起来,他的房屋也要沦为粪堆。 12 无论君王还是百姓,若有人擅自更改这命令或毁坏耶路撒冷的这殿,愿拣选这殿作其居所的上帝毁灭他!我大流士降此谕旨,务要速速遵行。”
建殿工程竣工
13 于是,河西总督达乃、示他·波斯乃及其同僚都认真执行大流士王的谕旨。 14 在哈该先知和易多的子孙撒迦利亚的劝勉下,犹太人的长老建造这殿,进展顺利。他们遵照上帝的命令和波斯王塞鲁士、大流士和亚达薛西的谕旨,完成了建殿工程。 15 大流士王第六年亚达月[a]三日,建殿工程竣工。
举行献殿礼
16 以色列人、祭司、利未人,以及其余流亡归来的人都满心欢喜地为上帝的殿举行奉献礼。 17 他们为此献上一百头公牛犊,二百只公绵羊和四百只绵羊羔,又照以色列十二支派的数目献上十二只公山羊,作全体以色列人的赎罪祭。 18 他们依照摩西律法书的规定,派祭司和利未人按班次在耶路撒冷事奉上帝。
守逾越节
19 一月十四日,流亡归来的人守逾越节。 20 祭司和利未人一起自洁,成为洁净的人,并为所有流亡归来的人、其他祭司同胞以及他们自己宰杀逾越节的羔羊。 21 从流亡之地归回的以色列人,连同所有弃绝当地民族的污秽行为、寻求以色列的上帝耶和华的人,一起吃这羔羊。 22 他们欢欢喜喜地守除酵节七天,因为耶和华使亚述王对他们心存善意,帮助他们重建以色列上帝的殿。

Esdras 6
Reina-Valera 1995
6 Entonces el rey Darío dio la orden de buscar en la casa de los archivos, donde guardaban los tesoros allí en Babilonia. 2 Y fue hallado en Acmeta, en el palacio que está en la provincia de Media, un libro en el cual estaba escrito así:
«Memoria:
3 »En el año primero del rey Ciro, el mismo rey Ciro dio orden acerca de la casa de Dios, la cual estaba en Jerusalén, para que la Casa fuera reedificada como lugar para ofrecer sacrificios, y que fueran puestos sus cimientos; su altura, de sesenta codos, y de sesenta codos su anchura; 4 con tres hileras de piedras grandes y una de madera nueva. El gasto será pagado por el tesoro del rey. 5 Además, los utensilios de oro y de plata de la casa de Dios, que Nabucodonosor sacó del templo que estaba en Jerusalén y se llevó a Babilonia, serán devueltos, para que vayan a su lugar, al templo que está en Jerusalén, y sean puestos en la casa de Dios.»
6 «Ahora, pues, Tatnai, gobernador del otro lado del río, Setar-boznai y vuestros compañeros, los gobernadores que estáis al otro lado del río, alejaos de allí. 7 Dejad que se haga la obra de esa casa de Dios; que el gobernador de los judíos y sus ancianos reedifiquen esa casa de Dios en su lugar. 8 Éstas son mis órdenes sobre lo que habéis de hacer con esos ancianos de los judíos, para reedificar esa casa de Dios: que de la hacienda del rey, proveniente del tributo del otro lado del río, sean pagados puntualmente a esos hombres los gastos, para que no cese la obra. 9 Lo que sea necesario, becerros, carneros y corderos para holocaustos al Dios del cielo, trigo, sal, vino y aceite, conforme a lo que digan los sacerdotes que están en Jerusalén, les sea dado día por día sin obstáculo alguno, 10 a fin de que ofrezcan sacrificios agradables al Dios del cielo, y oren por la vida del rey y por sus hijos.
11 »También he dado orden de que a cualquiera que altere este decreto se le arranque una viga de su casa, y sea colgado en ella. Luego su casa sea convertida en un montón de escombros. 12 Que el Dios que hizo habitar allí su nombre destruya a todo rey y pueblo que intente cambiar o destruir esa casa de Dios, la cual está en Jerusalén. Yo, Darío, he dado este decreto; sea cumplido puntualmente.»
13 Entonces Tatnai, gobernador del otro lado del río, Setar-boznai y sus compañeros, hicieron puntualmente según el rey Darío había ordenado. 14 Así, los ancianos de los judíos edificaban y prosperaban, conforme a la profecía del profeta Hageo y de Zacarías hijo de Iddo. Edificaron, pues, y terminaron la obra, por orden del Dios de Israel, y por mandato de Ciro, de Darío y de Artajerjes, rey de Persia. 15 Esta casa fue terminada el tercer día del mes de Adar, que era el sexto año del reinado del rey Darío.
16 Los hijos de Israel, los sacerdotes, los levitas y los demás que habían regresado de la cautividad, hicieron la dedicación de esta casa de Dios con gozo. 17 Ofrecieron para la dedicación de esta casa de Dios cien becerros, doscientos carneros y cuatrocientos corderos; y como expiación por todo Israel, doce machos cabríos, conforme al número de las tribus de Israel. 18 Luego organizaron a los sacerdotes en sus turnos y a los levitas en sus clases, para el servicio de Dios en Jerusalén, conforme a lo escrito en el libro de Moisés.
19 Los que regresaron de la cautividad celebraron la Pascua a los catorce días del primer mes. 20 Sacerdotes y levitas se habían purificado como un solo hombre y todos estaban limpios. Así que sacrificaron la Pascua por todos los hijos de la cautividad, por sus hermanos los sacerdotes y por sí mismos. 21 Comieron los hijos de Israel que habían regresado del cautiverio con todos aquellos que se habían apartado de las inmundicias de las gentes de la tierra para buscar a Jehová, Dios de Israel. 22 Durante siete días celebraron con regocijo la fiesta solemne de los Panes sin levadura, por cuanto Jehová los había alegrado, y había dispuesto el corazón del rey de Asiria favorablemente hacia ellos, a fin de fortalecer sus manos en la obra de la casa de Dios, del Dios de Israel.

Darius’ Search for the Decree
6 Then King Darius issued forth a decree, and they searched the house of the treasury of scrolls being stored in Babylonia. 2 But it was in Ecbatana in the province of Media, in the citadel, that a certain scroll had written on it, “A record. 3 In the first year of King Cyrus, he issued forth a decree concerning the house of God in Jerusalem. Let the house be built, the place where sacrifices are offered and let its foundations be raised. Its height shall be sixty cubits and its width sixty cubits, 4 with three layers of great stones and a layer of timber. Let the new expenses be paid from the house of the king. 5 Also, let the gold and silver vessels of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took from the temple in Jerusalem and brought to Babylonia, be returned and brought to the temple in Jerusalem to its place. Put them in the house of God.”
The Decree of Darius
6 “Now then, Tattenai governor of the province Beyond the River, Shethar-bozenai, and your associates, the envoys who are in the province Beyond the River—keep far away from there. 7 Leave this work of the house of God alone. Let the governor of the Jews and the elders of the Jews build this house of God on its site. 8 And I issue forth a decree for what you should do for these elders of the Jews to build this house of God. The full expense will be paid to these men from the riches of the king from the taxes of the province Beyond the River, without delay. 9 Whatever may be needed—young bulls,[a] young rams, sheep for burnt offerings to the God of heaven, wheat, salt, wine, and oil for the priests in Jerusalem—let it be given to them day by day with no negligence, 10 that they may offer incense offerings to the God of heaven, and pray for the life of the king and his children. 11 Furthermore, I issue forth a decree that if any person violates this decree, let a beam be pulled out from his house and let him be impaled on it. And let his house be made a pile of rubble on account of this. 12 May the God who has set his name there overthrow any king or people who sets his hand to alter or to destroy this house of God in Jerusalem. I, Darius, issue forth a decree. Let it be done with diligence.”
Temple is Dedicated and Completed
13 Then Tattenai the governor of the province Beyond the River, Shethar-bozenai, and their associates consequently did with diligence what Darius the king ordered. 14 So the elders of the Jews were building and prospering, through the prophecy of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah son of Iddo. They finished building by the command of the God of Israel and by the decree of Cyrus, Darius, and King Artaxerxes of Persia. 15 This house was completed on the third day of the month of Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of King Darius.
16 And the Israelites,[b] the priests, the Levites, and the rest of the returned exiles[c] celebrated the dedication of this house of God with joy. 17 And they offered during the dedication of this house of God one hundred young bulls, two hundred young rams, four hundred lambs, and twelve male goats as a sin offering for Israel according to the number of the tribes of Israel. 18 Then they set the priests in their divisions and the Levites in their sections for the work of God in Jerusalem, as it is written in the book of Moses.
The Celebration of Passover
19 On the fourteenth day of the first month the returned exiles observed the Passover feast. 20 For the priests and Levites together had consecrated themselves; all of them were clean. And they slaughtered the Passover sacrifice for all of the returned exiles, for their brothers the priests, and for themselves. 21 The Israelites[d] who returned from the exile and all those who separated themselves from the uncleanness of the nations of the earth to seek Yahweh the God of Israel, ate. 22 With joy they celebrated the festival of unleavened bread for seven days, because Yahweh had made them joyful and had turned the heart of the king of Assyria toward them in order to help them with the work of their hands on the house of the God of Israel.

The Decree of Darius
6 King Darius then issued an order, and they searched in the archives(A) stored in the treasury at Babylon. 2 A scroll was found in the citadel of Ecbatana in the province of Media, and this was written on it:
Memorandum:
3 In the first year of King Cyrus, the king issued a decree concerning the temple of God in Jerusalem:
Let the temple be rebuilt as a place to present sacrifices, and let its foundations be laid.(B) It is to be sixty cubits[a] high and sixty cubits wide, 4 with three courses(C) of large stones and one of timbers. The costs are to be paid by the royal treasury.(D) 5 Also, the gold(E) and silver articles of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took from the temple in Jerusalem and brought to Babylon, are to be returned to their places in the temple in Jerusalem; they are to be deposited in the house of God.(F)
6 Now then, Tattenai,(G) governor of Trans-Euphrates, and Shethar-Bozenai(H) and you other officials of that province, stay away from there. 7 Do not interfere with the work on this temple of God. Let the governor of the Jews and the Jewish elders rebuild this house of God on its site.
8 Moreover, I hereby decree what you are to do for these elders of the Jews in the construction of this house of God:
Their expenses are to be fully paid out of the royal treasury,(I) from the revenues(J) of Trans-Euphrates, so that the work will not stop. 9 Whatever is needed—young bulls, rams, male lambs for burnt offerings(K) to the God of heaven, and wheat, salt, wine and olive oil, as requested by the priests in Jerusalem—must be given them daily without fail, 10 so that they may offer sacrifices pleasing to the God of heaven and pray for the well-being of the king and his sons.(L)
11 Furthermore, I decree that if anyone defies this edict, a beam is to be pulled from their house and they are to be impaled(M) on it. And for this crime their house is to be made a pile of rubble.(N) 12 May God, who has caused his Name to dwell there,(O) overthrow any king or people who lifts a hand to change this decree or to destroy this temple in Jerusalem.
I Darius(P) have decreed it. Let it be carried out with diligence.
Completion and Dedication of the Temple
13 Then, because of the decree King Darius had sent, Tattenai, governor of Trans-Euphrates, and Shethar-Bozenai and their associates(Q) carried it out with diligence. 14 So the elders of the Jews continued to build and prosper under the preaching(R) of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah, a descendant of Iddo. They finished building the temple according to the command of the God of Israel and the decrees of Cyrus,(S) Darius(T) and Artaxerxes,(U) kings of Persia. 15 The temple was completed on the third day of the month Adar, in the sixth year of the reign of King Darius.(V)
16 Then the people of Israel—the priests, the Levites and the rest of the exiles—celebrated the dedication(W) of the house of God with joy. 17 For the dedication of this house of God they offered(X) a hundred bulls, two hundred rams, four hundred male lambs and, as a sin offering[b] for all Israel, twelve male goats, one for each of the tribes of Israel. 18 And they installed the priests in their divisions(Y) and the Levites in their groups(Z) for the service of God at Jerusalem, according to what is written in the Book of Moses.(AA)
The Passover
19 On the fourteenth day of the first month, the exiles celebrated the Passover.(AB) 20 The priests and Levites had purified themselves and were all ceremonially clean. The Levites slaughtered(AC) the Passover lamb for all the exiles, for their relatives the priests and for themselves. 21 So the Israelites who had returned from the exile ate it, together with all who had separated themselves(AD) from the unclean practices(AE) of their Gentile neighbors in order to seek the Lord,(AF) the God of Israel. 22 For seven days they celebrated with joy the Festival of Unleavened Bread,(AG) because the Lord had filled them with joy by changing the attitude(AH) of the king of Assyria so that he assisted them in the work on the house of God, the God of Israel.
