發現塞魯士王的諭旨
6 於是,大流士王下令查閱保存在巴比倫庫房裡的典籍。 2 在瑪代省亞馬他城的宮內找到一卷書,書中記載如下:
3 「塞魯士王元年,塞魯士王就耶路撒冷的上帝之殿降下諭旨,要重建這殿作獻祭之處,要奠立殿的地基。殿要高二十七米、寬二十七米, 4 每三層巨石加鋪一層木料,經費由國庫支付。 5 尼布甲尼撒從耶路撒冷上帝的殿裡擄到巴比倫的金銀器皿,都要歸還到耶路撒冷上帝的殿裡,放回原處。」
6 於是,大流士王降旨:
「河西總督達乃、示他·波斯乃,以及你們的同僚——河西的官員,要遠離那殿! 7 不要干涉上帝殿的建造,要讓猶太人的省長和長老在原址上重建這座上帝的殿。 8 另外,我降旨命你們幫助猶太人的長老建造上帝的殿,要立刻從河西的王室稅收中撥出款項作建殿之用,以免耽誤工程。 9 他們向天上的上帝獻燔祭時所需的公牛犢、公綿羊、綿羊羔、小麥、鹽、酒和油,都要照耶路撒冷祭司的話天天供給他們,不得有誤, 10 好讓他們向天上的上帝獻上蒙悅納的祭物,並為王和眾王子求壽。 11 我再降旨,若有人更改這諭旨,必從他的房屋抽掉一根大樑,把他釘在樑上掛起來,他的房屋也要淪為糞堆。 12 無論君王還是百姓,若有人擅自更改這命令或毀壞耶路撒冷的這殿,願揀選這殿作其居所的上帝毀滅他!我大流士降此諭旨,務要速速遵行。」
建殿工程竣工
13 於是,河西總督達乃、示他·波斯乃及其同僚都認真執行大流士王的諭旨。 14 在哈該先知和易多的子孫撒迦利亞的勸勉下,猶太人的長老建造這殿,進展順利。他們遵照上帝的命令和波斯王塞魯士、大流士和亞達薛西的諭旨,完成了建殿工程。 15 大流士王第六年亞達月[a]三日,建殿工程竣工。
舉行獻殿禮
16 以色列人、祭司、利未人,以及其餘流亡歸來的人都滿心歡喜地為上帝的殿舉行奉獻禮。 17 他們為此獻上一百頭公牛犢,二百隻公綿羊和四百隻綿羊羔,又照以色列十二支派的數目獻上十二隻公山羊,作全體以色列人的贖罪祭。 18 他們依照摩西律法書的規定,派祭司和利未人按班次在耶路撒冷事奉上帝。
守逾越節
19 一月十四日,流亡歸來的人守逾越節。 20 祭司和利未人一起自潔,成為潔淨的人,並為所有流亡歸來的人、其他祭司同胞以及他們自己宰殺逾越節的羔羊。 21 從流亡之地歸回的以色列人,連同所有棄絕當地民族的污穢行為、尋求以色列的上帝耶和華的人,一起吃這羔羊。 22 他們歡歡喜喜地守除酵節七天,因為耶和華使亞述王對他們心存善意,幫助他們重建以色列上帝的殿。

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。

Chinese New Version (Simplified)
大利乌王发现先王谕旨
6 于是,大利乌王下令考查在巴比伦库房的档案, 2 在玛代省的亚马他宫中,发现了一卷书卷。其中写着这样的一段记录: 3 “古列王元年,古列王颁发有关在耶路撒冷 神的殿的命令,要把这殿重建起来,作献祭的地方;要奠立殿的根基。殿高二十七公尺,宽二十七公尺。 4 三层光滑石块,一层新木头,所有费用由王库支付。 5 至于从前尼布甲尼撒从耶路撒冷的殿里掠夺,带到巴比伦的神殿中的金银器皿,都要归还,送到耶路撒冷的殿,各按原来的地方放在 神的殿中。”
王下令继续重建圣殿
6 于是大利乌王下令说:“现在,河西那边的总督达乃和示他.波斯乃,以及你们的同僚,就是在河西那边的亚法萨迦人,你们要远离那里; 7 不要干涉这神殿的工程,让犹大人的总督和犹大人的长老在原来的地方重建 神的这殿。 8 我又下令你要协助这些犹大人的长老重建 神的殿,你要作这事:从河西那边交给王库的税收中,拨出充足的经费给他们,免得工程停顿。 9 他们需用的甚么东西,包括作燔祭献给天上 神的公牛犊、公绵羊和绵羊羔;还有麦子、盐、酒和油,都要照着在耶路撒冷的祭司们所说,天天供给他们,不可疏忽, 10 好让他们可以献馨香的祭给天上的 神,为王和王的子孙祈求长寿。 11 我又下令:无论甚么人更改这命令,就要从他的房屋中拆出一根梁木,把他挂起,钉在木上;又使他的房屋成为粪堆。 12 愿那使自己的名居住在那里的 神,毁灭所有伸手更改这命令,或要毁坏这在耶路撒冷 神的殿的君王和人民。我大利乌下令,必须彻底遵行。”
重建完工
13 于是河西那边的总督达乃、示他.波斯乃和他们的同僚,彻底遵照大利乌王的指示。 14 犹大人的长老因着哈该先知和易多的孙子撒迦利亚的信息,迅速重建。他们遵照以色列 神的命令,波斯王古列、大利乌和亚达薛西的命令,完成重建圣殿的工作。 15 这殿在大利乌王在位的第六年亚达月初三日,完成了。
举行献殿礼
16 以色列祭司和利未人,以及其余被掳归回的人都欢欢喜喜举行奉献这神殿的典礼。 17 在奉献这神殿的典礼中,他们献上公牛一百头、公绵羊二百只、绵羊羔四百只;又照着以色列支派的数目献上公山羊十二只,作全以色列的赎罪祭。 18 他们又照着摩西书上所写,委派祭司按着编制,利未人按着班次,在耶路撒冷 神的殿中事奉。
守逾越节
19 正月十四日,被掳归回的人守逾越节。 20 祭司和利未人一起行洁净仪式,他们就全都洁净了;于是利未人为所有被掳归回的人和他们作祭司的众亲族,以及他们自己,宰杀了逾越节的羊羔。 21 被掳归回的以色列人和所有脱离当地民族的污秽的人,一同吃这羊羔,寻求耶和华以色列的 神。 22 他们欢欢喜喜地守除酵节七天,因为耶和华使他们欢喜,又使亚述王的心转向他们,坚固他们的手作以色列 神殿的工程。
Ezra 6
King James Version
6 Then Darius the king made a decree, and search was made in the house of the rolls, where the treasures were laid up in Babylon.
2 And there was found at Achmetha, in the palace that is in the province of the Medes, a roll, and therein was a record thus written:
3 In the first year of Cyrus the king the same Cyrus the king made a decree concerning the house of God at Jerusalem, Let the house be builded, the place where they offered sacrifices, and let the foundations thereof be strongly laid; the height thereof threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof threescore cubits;
4 With three rows of great stones, and a row of new timber: and let the expenses be given out of the king's house:
5 And also let the golden and silver vessels of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took forth out of the temple which is at Jerusalem, and brought unto Babylon, be restored, and brought again unto the temple which is at Jerusalem, every one to his place, and place them in the house of God.
6 Now therefore, Tatnai, governor beyond the river, Shetharboznai, and your companions the Apharsachites, which are beyond the river, be ye far from thence:
7 Let the work of this house of God alone; let the governor of the Jews and the elders of the Jews build this house of God in his place.
8 Moreover I make a decree what ye shall do to the elders of these Jews for the building of this house of God: that of the king's goods, even of the tribute beyond the river, forthwith expenses be given unto these men, that they be not hindered.
9 And that which they have need of, both young bullocks, and rams, and lambs, for the burnt offerings of the God of heaven, wheat, salt, wine, and oil, according to the appointment of the priests which are at Jerusalem, let it be given them day by day without fail:
10 That they may offer sacrifices of sweet savours unto the God of heaven, and pray for the life of the king, and of his sons.
11 Also I have made a decree, that whosoever shall alter this word, let timber be pulled down from his house, and being set up, let him be hanged thereon; and let his house be made a dunghill for this.
12 And the God that hath caused his name to dwell there destroy all kings and people, that shall put to their hand to alter and to destroy this house of God which is at Jerusalem. I Darius have made a decree; let it be done with speed.
13 Then Tatnai, governor on this side the river, Shetharboznai, and their companions, according to that which Darius the king had sent, so they did speedily.
14 And the elders of the Jews builded, and they prospered through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. And they builded, and finished it, according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and according to the commandment of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.
15 And this house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.
16 And the children of Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the rest of the children of the captivity, kept the dedication of this house of God with joy.
17 And offered at the dedication of this house of God an hundred bullocks, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs; and for a sin offering for all Israel, twelve he goats, according to the number of the tribes of Israel.
18 And they set the priests in their divisions, and the Levites in their courses, for the service of God, which is at Jerusalem; as it is written in the book of Moses.
19 And the children of the captivity kept the passover upon the fourteenth day of the first month.
20 For the priests and the Levites were purified together, all of them were pure, and killed the passover for all the children of the captivity, and for their brethren the priests, and for themselves.
21 And the children of Israel, which were come again out of captivity, and all such as had separated themselves unto them from the filthiness of the heathen of the land, to seek the Lord God of Israel, did eat,
22 And kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy: for the Lord had made them joyful, and turned the heart of the king of Assyria unto them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.
