Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
塞鲁士下令犹太人回国
1 波斯王塞鲁士元年，耶和华为要应验祂借耶利米所说的话，就感动波斯王塞鲁士，使他下诏通告全国：
2 “波斯王塞鲁士如此说，‘天上的上帝耶和华已把天下万国都赐给我，祂吩咐我在犹大的耶路撒冷为祂建造殿宇。 3 你们当中凡是耶和华的子民，都可以去犹大的耶路撒冷，为住在耶路撒冷的以色列的上帝耶和华建殿，愿上帝与他们同在！ 4 凡留下不回国的人，无论住在哪里，都要用金银、财物和牲畜帮助同区那些将要回国的人，此外还要为耶路撒冷的上帝的殿献上自愿献的礼物。’”
5 于是，犹大和便雅悯的族长、祭司和利未人——所有被上帝感动的人都准备上耶路撒冷重建耶和华的殿。 6 他们周围的人除了献上自愿献的礼物外，还拿出银器、金子、财物、牲畜和珍宝来支持他们。 7 巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒曾从耶路撒冷耶和华的殿里带回珍贵的器皿，放在自己神明的庙里。波斯王塞鲁士将这些器皿取出来， 8 派财政大臣米提利达如数交给犹大的首领设巴萨： 9 三十个金盘、一千个银盘、二十九把刀、 10 三十个金碗、四百一十个次等银碗及一千件其他器皿， 11 共有五千四百件金银器皿。被掳者从巴比伦上耶路撒冷时，设巴萨把这些器皿一并带去。

古列王下旨建造圣殿
1 波斯王古列元年，耶和华为要应验他藉耶利米的口所说的话，就激动波斯王古列的心灵，使他通令全国，传达文告说： 2 “波斯王古列这样说：‘耶和华天上的 神已经把地上万国赐给我。他指派我在犹大的耶路撒冷为他建造殿宇。 3 你们中间凡是他的子民，愿 神与他同在的，都可以上犹大的耶路撒冷去，建造耶和华以色列的 神的殿，他是在耶路撒冷受敬拜的 神。 4 所有余民，无论寄居在甚么地方，那地方的人都要用金、银、财物、牲畜帮助他，也要为在耶路撒冷 神的殿献上甘心的礼物。’”
准备回归
5 于是，犹大和便雅悯的族长、祭司、利未人和所有被 神激动了心灵的人，都起来要上去，重建在耶路撒冷耶和华的殿。 6 他们四围的人都用银器、金子、财物、牲畜和珍贵的礼物协助他们，另外还有各种甘心奉献的礼物。 7 古列王把耶和华殿里的器皿拿出来，就是从前尼布甲尼撒从耶路撒冷拿来放在自己的神庙里的。 8 波斯王古列命令司库官米提利达把这些器皿拿出来，按数交给犹大的领袖设巴萨。 9 器皿的数目是：金盘三十个、银盘一千个、刀二十九把、 10 金碗三十个、次等银碗四百一十个（“次等银碗四百一十个”：本句意义难确定，或译：“银碗二千四百一十个”），其他的器皿一千件。 11 全部的金银器皿共有五千四百件。被掳的人从巴比伦上耶路撒冷去的时候，设巴萨把这一切器皿都带上去。
Ezra 1
New King James Version
End of the Babylonian Captivity(A)
1 Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the Lord (B)by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, (C)so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and also put it in writing, saying,
2 Thus says Cyrus king of Persia:
All the kingdoms of the earth the Lord God of heaven has given me. And He has (D)commanded me to build Him a [a]house at Jerusalem which is in Judah. 3 Who is among you of all His people? May 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 (E)(He is God), which is in Jerusalem. 4 And whoever is left in any place where he dwells, let the men of his place help him with silver and gold, with goods and livestock, besides the freewill offerings for the house of God which is in Jerusalem.
5 Then the heads of the fathers’ houses of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests and the Levites, with all whose spirits (F)God [b]had moved, arose to go up and build the house of the Lord which is in Jerusalem. 6 And all those who were around them [c]encouraged them with articles of silver and gold, with goods and livestock, and with precious things, besides all that was (G)willingly offered.
7 (H)King Cyrus also brought out the articles of the house of the Lord, (I)which Nebuchadnezzar had taken from Jerusalem and put in the [d]temple of his gods; 8 and Cyrus king of Persia brought them out by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and counted them out to (J)Sheshbazzar the prince of Judah. 9 This is the number of them: thirty gold platters, one thousand silver platters, twenty-nine knives, 10 thirty gold basins, four hundred and ten silver basins of a similar kind, and one thousand other articles. 11 All the articles of gold and silver were five thousand four hundred. All these Sheshbazzar took with the captives who were brought from Babylon to Jerusalem.

The Decree of Cyrus
1 In the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, to fulfill the word of the Lord given through the mouth of Jeremiah, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia. Cyrus circulated a proclamation throughout his kingdom and recorded it in a written document.
2 This is what Cyrus king of Persia says:
The Lord, the God of Heaven, has given all the kingdoms of the earth to me. He has appointed me to build a house[a] for him in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. 3 From all his people, whoever among you is willing (may the Lord his God be with him) is permitted to go up to Jerusalem in Judah. He may build the House of the Lord, the God of Israel—he is the God who is in Jerusalem. 4 Any of the exiles who have survived, in any place where they are living as resident aliens, may receive support from the people of that place: silver, gold, goods, and livestock, along with their voluntary contributions for the House of the God who is in Jerusalem.
Preparations for the Return
5 Then the heads of the families[b] of Judah and Benjamin, the priests, and the Levites arose—everyone whose spirit God had stirred to go up to build the House of the Lord, which is in Jerusalem. 6 All of their neighbors supported them with articles of silver, with gold, with goods, with livestock, and with valuables, in addition to all kinds of voluntary contributions.
7 King Cyrus also brought out the vessels of the House of the Lord which Nebuchadnezzar had carried away from Jerusalem and put into the house of his gods. 8 Now Cyrus king of Persia entrusted them to the treasurer Mithredath, and he counted them out to Sheshbazzar, the leader[c] of Judah.
9 This is a tally of several different kinds of vessels:
| gold dishes | 30 |
| silver dishes | 1,000 |
| pans[d] | 29 |
| 10 gold bowls | 30 |
| silver bowls of other kinds | 410 |
| other articles | 1,000 |
11 The total number of all of the gold and silver vessels was 5,400.
Sheshbazzar brought these things up to Jerusalem along with the exiles who went up to Jerusalem.
Footnotes
- Ezra 1:2 In the historical books the temple in Jerusalem is frequently called a house (bayit) rather than a temple (hekal).
- Ezra 1:5 Literally the heads of the fathers or the leading fathers
- Ezra 1:8 The title leader (nasi) does not necessarily refer to a prince, the son of a king. Sheshbazzar is, however, traditionally called a prince because the line of the Messiah is traced through him.
- Ezra 1:9 The precise identification of some of these objects is uncertain. For example, the term translated pans may mean knives.
