以斯拉記 5
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
5 那時，先知哈該和易多的子孫撒迦利亞奉以色列上帝的名，向猶大和耶路撒冷的猶大人宣講上帝的話。 2 於是，撒拉鐵的兒子所羅巴伯和約薩達的兒子耶書亞開始在耶路撒冷重建上帝的殿，上帝的先知在他們身邊幫助他們。
3 當時，河西總督達乃、示他·波斯乃及其同僚來問他們：「誰批准你們重建這殿、修復這牆的？」 4 又問道：「建造這殿的人們叫什麼名字。」 5 然而，上帝看顧猶太人的長老，工程沒有被叫停，直到事情呈報給大流士王、收到王的回諭後才停止。
6 河西的官員們——河西總督達乃、示他·波斯乃及其同僚上奏大流士王， 7 奏章如下：
「願大流士王一切平安！ 8 王該知道，我們去了猶大省，到了偉大上帝的殿。人們正在用大石建殿，木料已經安在牆裡，工程進展迅速、順利。 9 我們問那些長老，『誰批准你們重建這殿、修復這牆的？』 10 我們又問他們的名字，好記下他們首領的名字稟告王。
11 「他們回答說，『我們是天地之上帝的僕人，我們正在重建這座多年前由以色列的一位偉大君王建造的殿。 12 但因為我們的祖先觸怒了天上的上帝，上帝把他們交在迦勒底人——巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒的手中，他摧毀了這殿，把他們擄到巴比倫。 13 然而，巴比倫王塞魯士在其統治元年，降旨重建這座上帝的殿。 14 尼布甲尼撒王曾擄去耶路撒冷上帝殿裡的金銀器皿，放在巴比倫神廟裡，塞魯士王從巴比倫神廟取出這些器皿，交給他委派做省長的設巴薩， 15 吩咐他把這些器皿帶去，重新陳設在耶路撒冷的殿裡，在舊址上重建上帝的殿。 16 於是，這位設巴薩就在耶路撒冷為上帝的殿立了根基，從那時到如今，殿一直在重建中，還沒有竣工。』
17 「現在，王若願意，請查閱巴比倫的王室記錄，看看塞魯士王是否降旨重建耶路撒冷的上帝之殿。王對此事如何決斷，請告知我們。」

再次重建聖殿之工
5 那時，哈該先知和易多的兒子撒迦利亞先知奉以色列 神的名，向在猶大地和耶路撒冷的猶大人傳講信息。 2 於是，撒拉鐵的兒子所羅巴伯和約薩達的兒子耶書亞都起來，開始重建在耶路撒冷的 神的殿， 神的先知們和他們在一起，幫助他們。 3 當時，河西那邊的總督達乃和示他．波斯乃，以及他們的同僚來到他們那裡，這樣問他們說：“誰下令叫你們重建這殿，完成這工程呢？” 4 他們又這樣問：“負責這建築工程的人叫甚麼名字？” 5 但是 神的眼目看顧猶大人的長老，以致總督等人沒有阻止他們建造；直到這事奏告大利烏王，得著有關這事的回諭為止。
上奏大利烏王
6 這就是河西那邊的省長達乃和示他．波斯乃，以及他們的同僚，就是在河西那邊的亞法薩迦人，呈給大利烏王的奏文副本。 7 他們在呈給王的奏文中這樣寫：“願大利烏王萬事平安。 8 奏知大王：我們去過這猶大省，到了偉大 神的殿，見殿正用光滑石塊修建，梁木插入牆內；這工程在他們手裡進行得審慎而迅速。 9 於是，我們就這樣問那些長老，對他們說：‘誰下令叫你們重建這殿，完成這工程呢？’ 10 為了奏知大王，就問他們的名字，記錄他們首領的名。 11 他們這樣答覆我們，說：‘我們是天地之 神的僕人，正在重建這多年以前已經建好的殿，就是一位以色列偉大的君王所建成的。 12 但因為我們的祖先激怒了天上的 神， 神就把他們交在迦勒底人巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒的手中；尼布甲尼撒就拆毀這殿，把人民擄到巴比倫去。 13 然而在巴比倫王古列元年，古列王下令重建這 神的殿。 14 至於從前尼布甲尼撒從耶路撒冷的殿裡掠奪，帶到巴比倫廟裡的神殿中的金銀器皿，古列王也從巴比倫的廟中拿出來，把它們交給一位名叫設巴薩的人，委任他為總督。 15 又吩咐他說：把這些器皿帶去，存放在耶路撒冷的殿中；使 神的殿在原來的地方重建起來。 16 於是，這設巴薩回來，奠立了在耶路撒冷 神的殿的根基；從那時起，到現在一直在建造，還沒有完成。’ 17 現在王若是以為好，就請查考王在巴比倫的庫房，看看那裡有沒有古列王下令，重建這在耶路撒冷 神的殿的諭旨，並請指示我們王對這事的旨意。”

Tattenai’s Letter to Darius
5 Now Haggai(A) the prophet and Zechariah(B) the prophet, a descendant of Iddo, prophesied(C) to the Jews in Judah and Jerusalem in the name of the God of Israel, who was over them. 2 Then Zerubbabel(D) son of Shealtiel and Joshua(E) son of Jozadak set to work(F) to rebuild the house of God in Jerusalem. And the prophets of God were with them, supporting them.
3 At that time Tattenai,(G) governor of Trans-Euphrates, and Shethar-Bozenai(H) and their associates went to them and asked, “Who authorized you to rebuild this temple and to finish it?”(I) 4 They[a] also asked, “What are the names of those who are constructing this building?” 5 But the eye of their God(J) was watching over the elders of the Jews, and they were not stopped until a report could go to Darius and his written reply be received.
6 This is a copy of the letter that Tattenai, governor of Trans-Euphrates, and Shethar-Bozenai and their associates, the officials of Trans-Euphrates, sent to King Darius. 7 The report they sent him read as follows:
To King Darius:
Cordial greetings.
8 The king should know that we went to the district of Judah, to the temple of the great God. The people are building it with large stones and placing the timbers in the walls. The work(K) is being carried on with diligence and is making rapid progress under their direction.
9 We questioned the elders and asked them, “Who authorized you to rebuild this temple and to finish it?”(L) 10 We also asked them their names, so that we could write down the names of their leaders for your information.
11 This is the answer they gave us:
“We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth, and we are rebuilding the temple(M) that was built many years ago, one that a great king of Israel built and finished. 12 But because our ancestors angered(N) the God of heaven, he gave them into the hands of Nebuchadnezzar the Chaldean, king of Babylon, who destroyed this temple and deported the people to Babylon.(O)
13 “However, in the first year of Cyrus king of Babylon, King Cyrus issued a decree(P) to rebuild this house of God. 14 He even removed from the temple[b] of Babylon the gold and silver articles of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar had taken from the temple in Jerusalem and brought to the temple[c] in Babylon.(Q) Then King Cyrus gave them to a man named Sheshbazzar,(R) whom he had appointed governor, 15 and he told him, ‘Take these articles and go and deposit them in the temple in Jerusalem. And rebuild the house of God on its site.’
16 “So this Sheshbazzar came and laid the foundations of the house of God(S) in Jerusalem. From that day to the present it has been under construction but is not yet finished.”
17 Now if it pleases the king, let a search be made in the royal archives(T) of Babylon to see if King Cyrus did in fact issue a decree to rebuild this house of God in Jerusalem. Then let the king send us his decision in this matter.

King James Version
5 Then the prophets, Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah the son of Iddo, prophesied unto the Jews that were in Judah and Jerusalem in the name of the God of Israel, even unto them.
2 Then rose up Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and began to build the house of God which is at Jerusalem: and with them were the prophets of God helping them.
3 At the same time came to them Tatnai, governor on this side the river, and Shetharboznai and their companions, and said thus unto them, Who hath commanded you to build this house, and to make up this wall?
4 Then said we unto them after this manner, What are the names of the men that make this building?
5 But the eye of their God was upon the elders of the Jews, that they could not cause them to cease, till the matter came to Darius: and then they returned answer by letter concerning this matter.
6 The copy of the letter that Tatnai, governor on this side the river, and Shetharboznai and his companions the Apharsachites, which were on this side the river, sent unto Darius the king:
7 They sent a letter unto him, wherein was written thus; Unto Darius the king, all peace.
8 Be it known unto the king, that we went into the province of Judea, to the house of the great God, which is builded with great stones, and timber is laid in the walls, and this work goeth fast on, and prospereth in their hands.
9 Then asked we those elders, and said unto them thus, Who commanded you to build this house, and to make up these walls?
10 We asked their names also, to certify thee, that we might write the names of the men that were the chief of them.
11 And thus they returned us answer, saying, We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth, and build the house that was builded these many years ago, which a great king of Israel builded and set up.
12 But after that our fathers had provoked the God of heaven unto wrath, he gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, the Chaldean, who destroyed this house, and carried the people away into Babylon.
13 But in the first year of Cyrus the king of Babylon the same king Cyrus made a decree to build this house of God.
14 And the vessels also of gold and silver of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took out of the temple that was in Jerusalem, and brought them into the temple of Babylon, those did Cyrus the king take out of the temple of Babylon, and they were delivered unto one, whose name was Sheshbazzar, whom he had made governor;
15 And said unto him, Take these vessels, go, carry them into the temple that is in Jerusalem, and let the house of God be builded in his place.
16 Then came the same Sheshbazzar, and laid the foundation of the house of God which is in Jerusalem: and since that time even until now hath it been in building, and yet it is not finished.
17 Now therefore, if it seem good to the king, let there be search made in the king's treasure house, which is there at Babylon, whether it be so, that a decree was made of Cyrus the king to build this house of God at Jerusalem, and let the king send his pleasure to us concerning this matter.

Restoration of the Temple Resumed(A)
5 Then the prophet (B)Haggai and (C)Zechariah the son of Iddo, prophets, prophesied to the Jews who were in Judah and Jerusalem, in the name of the God of Israel, who was over them. 2 So (D)Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and Jeshua the son of [a]Jozadak rose up and began to build the house of God which is in Jerusalem; and (E)the prophets of God were with them, helping them.
3 At the same time (F)Tattenai the governor of the region beyond [b]the River and Shethar-Boznai and their companions came to them and spoke thus to them: (G)“Who has commanded you to build this [c]temple and finish this wall?” 4 (H)Then, accordingly, we told them the names of the men who were constructing this building. 5 But (I)the eye of their God was upon the elders of the Jews, so that they could not make them cease till a report could go to Darius. Then a (J)written answer was returned concerning this matter. 6 This is a copy of the letter that Tattenai sent:
The governor of the region beyond the River, and Shethar-Boznai, (K)and his companions, the Persians who were in the region beyond the River, to Darius the king.
7 (They sent a letter to him, in which was written thus.)
To Darius the king:
All peace.
8 Let it be known to the king that we went into the province of Judea, to the [d]temple of the great God, which is being built with [e]heavy stones, and timber is being laid in the walls; and this work goes on diligently and prospers in their hands.
9 Then we asked those elders, and spoke thus to them: (L)“Who commanded you to build this temple and to finish these walls?” 10 We also asked them their names to inform you, that we might write the names of the men who were chief among them.
11 And thus they returned us an answer, saying: “We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth, and we are rebuilding the [f]temple that was built many years ago, which a great king of Israel built (M)and completed. 12 But (N)because our fathers provoked the God of heaven to wrath, He gave them into the hand of (O)Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, the Chaldean, who destroyed this temple and (P)carried the people away to Babylon. 13 However, in the first year of (Q)Cyrus king of Babylon, King Cyrus issued a decree to build this [g]house of God. 14 Also, (R)the gold and silver articles of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar had taken from the temple that was in Jerusalem and carried into the temple of Babylon—those King Cyrus took from the temple of Babylon, and they were given to (S)one named Sheshbazzar, whom he had made governor. 15 And he said to him, ‘Take these articles; go, carry them to the temple site that is in Jerusalem, and let the house of God be rebuilt on its former site.’ 16 Then the same Sheshbazzar came and (T)laid the foundation of the house of God which is in Jerusalem; but from that time even until now it has been under construction, and (U)it is not finished.”
17 Now therefore, if it seems good to the king, (V)let a search be made in the king’s treasure house, which is there in Babylon, whether it is so that a decree was issued by King Cyrus to build this house of God at Jerusalem, and let the king send us his pleasure concerning this matter.
