波斯王居魯士為建聖殿下詔

波斯居魯士元年,耶和華為要應驗藉耶利米口所說的話,就激動波斯居魯士的心,使他下詔通告全國說: 波斯居魯士如此說:耶和華天上的神已將天下萬國賜給我,又囑咐我在猶大耶路撒冷為他建造殿宇。 在你們中間凡做他子民的,可以上猶大耶路撒冷,在耶路撒冷重建耶和華以色列神的殿,只有他是神。願神與這人同在! 凡剩下的人,無論寄居何處,那地的人要用金銀、財物、牲畜幫助他,另外也要為耶路撒冷神的殿甘心獻上禮物。」

盡返聖殿器物

於是,猶大便雅憫的族長、祭司、利未人,就是一切被神激動他心的人,都起來,要上耶路撒冷去建造耶和華的殿。 他們四圍的人就拿銀器、金子、財物、牲畜、珍寶幫助他們[a],另外還有甘心獻的禮物。 居魯士王也將耶和華殿的器皿拿出來,這器皿是尼布甲尼撒耶路撒冷掠來,放在自己神之廟中的。 波斯居魯士派庫官米提利達將這器皿拿出來,按數交給猶大的首領設巴薩 器皿的數目記在下面:金盤三十個,銀盤一千個,刀二十九把, 10 金碗三十個,銀碗之次的四百一十個,別樣的器皿一千件, 11 金銀器皿共有五千四百件。被擄的人從巴比倫耶路撒冷的時候,設巴薩將這一切都帶上來。

Cyrus Helps the Exiles to Return(A)

In the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, in order to fulfill the word of the Lord spoken by Jeremiah,(B) the Lord moved the heart(C) of Cyrus king of Persia to make a proclamation throughout his realm and also to put it in writing:

“This is what Cyrus king of Persia says:

“‘The Lord, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth and he has appointed(D) me to build(E) a temple for him at Jerusalem in Judah. Any of his people among you may go up to Jerusalem in Judah and build the temple of the Lord, the God of Israel, the God who is in Jerusalem, and may their God be with them. And in any locality where survivors(F) may now be living, the people are to provide them with silver and gold,(G) with goods and livestock, and with freewill offerings(H) for the temple of God(I) in Jerusalem.’”(J)

Then the family heads of Judah and Benjamin,(K) and the priests and Levites—everyone whose heart God had moved(L)—prepared to go up and build the house(M) of the Lord in Jerusalem. All their neighbors assisted them with articles of silver and gold,(N) with goods and livestock, and with valuable gifts, in addition to all the freewill offerings.

Moreover, King Cyrus brought out the articles belonging to the temple of the Lord, which Nebuchadnezzar had carried away from Jerusalem and had placed in the temple of his god.[a](O) Cyrus king of Persia had them brought by Mithredath the treasurer, who counted them out to Sheshbazzar(P) the prince of Judah.

This was the inventory:

gold dishes30
silver dishes1,000
silver pans[b]29
10 gold bowls30
matching silver bowls410
other articles1,000

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

Edit de Cyrus; retour de la captivité de Babylone

La première année de Cyrus, roi de Perse, afin que s’accomplisse la parole de l’Eternel prononcée par la bouche de Jérémie, l’Eternel réveilla l’esprit de Cyrus, roi de Perse, qui fit faire de vive voix et par écrit cette publication dans tout son royaume: Ainsi parle Cyrus, roi des Perses: L’Eternel, le Dieu des cieux, m’a donné tous les royaumes de la terre, et il m’a commandé de lui bâtir une maison à Jérusalem en Juda. Qui d’entre vous est de son peuple? Que son Dieu soit avec lui, et qu’il monte à Jérusalem en Juda et bâtisse la maison de l’Eternel, le Dieu d’Israël! C’est le Dieu qui est à Jérusalem. Dans tout lieu où séjournent des restes du peuple de l’Eternel, les gens du lieu leur donneront de l’argent, de l’or, des effets, et du bétail, avec des offrandes volontaires pour la maison de Dieu qui est à Jérusalem.

Les chefs de famille de Juda et de Benjamin, les sacrificateurs et les Lévites, tous ceux dont Dieu réveilla l’esprit, se levèrent pour aller bâtir la maison de l’Eternel à Jérusalem. Tous leurs voisins leur donnèrent des objets d’argent, de l’or, des effets, du bétail, et des choses précieuses, outre toutes les offrandes volontaires. Le roi Cyrus rendit les ustensiles de la maison de l’Eternel, que Nebucadnetsar avait emportés de Jérusalem et placés dans la maison de son dieu. Cyrus, roi de Perse, les fit sortir par Mithredath, le trésorier, qui les remit à Scheschbatsar[a], prince de Juda. En voici le nombre: trente bassins d’or, mille bassins d’argent, vingt-neuf couteaux, 10 trente coupes d’or, quatre cent dix coupes d’argent de second ordre, mille autres ustensiles. 11 Tous les objets d’or et d’argent étaient au nombre de cinq mille quatre cents. Scheschbatsar emporta le tout de Babylone à Jérusalem, au retour de la captivité.

  1. Esdras 1:8 Scheschbatsar, nom araméen de Zorobabel

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,

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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;

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.

And this is the number of them: thirty chargers of gold, a thousand chargers of silver, nine and twenty knives,

10 Thirty basons of gold, silver basons of a second sort four hundred and ten, and other vessels a thousand.

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.
