以斯拉记 5
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
5 那时，先知哈该和易多的子孙撒迦利亚奉以色列上帝的名，向犹大和耶路撒冷的犹大人宣讲上帝的话。 2 于是，撒拉铁的儿子所罗巴伯和约萨达的儿子耶书亚开始在耶路撒冷重建上帝的殿，上帝的先知在他们身边帮助他们。
3 当时，河西总督达乃、示他·波斯乃及其同僚来问他们：“谁批准你们重建这殿、修复这墙的？” 4 又问道：“建造这殿的人们叫什么名字。” 5 然而，上帝看顾犹太人的长老，工程没有被叫停，直到事情呈报给大流士王、收到王的回谕后才停止。
6 河西的官员们——河西总督达乃、示他·波斯乃及其同僚上奏大流士王， 7 奏章如下：
“愿大流士王一切平安！ 8 王该知道，我们去了犹大省，到了伟大上帝的殿。人们正在用大石建殿，木料已经安在墙里，工程进展迅速、顺利。 9 我们问那些长老，‘谁批准你们重建这殿、修复这墙的？’ 10 我们又问他们的名字，好记下他们首领的名字禀告王。
11 “他们回答说，‘我们是天地之上帝的仆人，我们正在重建这座多年前由以色列的一位伟大君王建造的殿。 12 但因为我们的祖先触怒了天上的上帝，上帝把他们交在迦勒底人——巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒的手中，他摧毁了这殿，把他们掳到巴比伦。 13 然而，巴比伦王塞鲁士在其统治元年，降旨重建这座上帝的殿。 14 尼布甲尼撒王曾掳去耶路撒冷上帝殿里的金银器皿，放在巴比伦神庙里，塞鲁士王从巴比伦神庙取出这些器皿，交给他委派做省长的设巴萨， 15 吩咐他把这些器皿带去，重新陈设在耶路撒冷的殿里，在旧址上重建上帝的殿。 16 于是，这位设巴萨就在耶路撒冷为上帝的殿立了根基，从那时到如今，殿一直在重建中，还没有竣工。’
17 “现在，王若愿意，请查阅巴比伦的王室记录，看看塞鲁士王是否降旨重建耶路撒冷的上帝之殿。王对此事如何决断，请告知我们。”

Chinese New Version (Traditional)
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。”
Ezra 5
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.

Tattenai’s Letter to Darius
5 Haggai and Zechariah son of Iddo were prophets. They prophesied to the Jews in Judah and Jerusalem. They prophesied in the name of the God of Israel. 2 Then Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel and Jeshua son of Jozadak started working again. They worked to rebuild the Temple of God in Jerusalem. The prophets of God were there, helping them.
3 At that time Tattenai was the governor west of the Euphrates. He and Shethar-Bozenai and others went to the Jews. They asked, “Who gave you permission to rebuild this Temple and fix these walls?” 4 They also asked, “What are the names of these men working on this building?” 5 But their God was watching over the elders of the Jews. The builders were not stopped until a report could go to King Darius. And then his written answer had to be received.
6 This is a copy of the letter that Tattenai, Shethar-Bozenai and the others sent to King Darius. Tattenai was governor west of the Euphrates River. The other people were important officers west of the Euphrates. 7 This is what the report they sent to him said:
To King Darius.
Greetings. May you have peace.
8 King Darius, you should know that we went to the district of Judah. That is where the Temple of the great God is. The people there are building that Temple with large stones. They are putting timbers in the walls. The people are working very hard. And they are building very fast.
9 We asked their elders, “Who gave you permission to rebuild this Temple and these walls?” 10 We also asked for their names. We wrote down the names of their leaders so you would know who they are.
11 This is the answer they gave to us: “We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth. We are rebuilding the Temple that a great king of Israel built. He finished it many years ago. 12 But our ancestors made the God of heaven angry. So God let them be defeated by Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. He destroyed this Temple. And he took the people to Babylon as captives.
13 “Later, Cyrus was in his first year as king of Babylon. He gave a special order for this Temple to be rebuilt. 14 And Cyrus brought out things from the temple in Babylon. They were the gold and silver bowls and pans that came from the Temple of God. Nebuchadnezzar had taken them from the Temple in Jerusalem. And he had put them in the temple in Babylon.
“Then King Cyrus gave them to Sheshbazzar. He had appointed Sheshbazzar as governor. 15 Cyrus said to him, ‘Take these gold and silver bowls and pans. Put them back in the Temple in Jerusalem. And rebuild the Temple of God where it was.’ 16 So Sheshbazzar came. He laid the foundations of the Temple of God in Jerusalem. From that day until now the work has been going on. But it is not yet finished.”
17 Now, if the king wishes, let a search be made. Search the royal records of Babylon to see if King Cyrus gave such an order. See if he gave an order to rebuild this Temple in Jerusalem. Then let the king write us and tell us what he has decided.
