以斯拉记 5
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
再次重建圣殿之工
5 那时,哈该先知和易多的儿子撒迦利亚先知奉以色列 神的名,向在犹大地和耶路撒冷的犹大人传讲信息。 2 于是,撒拉铁的儿子所罗巴伯和约萨达的儿子耶书亚都起来,开始重建在耶路撒冷的 神的殿, 神的先知们和他们在一起,帮助他们。 3 当时,河西那边的总督达乃和示他.波斯乃,以及他们的同僚来到他们那里,这样问他们说:“谁下令叫你们重建这殿,完成这工程呢?” 4 他们又这样问:“负责这建筑工程的人叫甚么名字?” 5 但是 神的眼目看顾犹大人的长老,以致总督等人没有阻止他们建造;直到这事奏告大利乌王,得着有关这事的回谕为止。
上奏大利乌王
6 这就是河西那边的省长达乃和示他.波斯乃,以及他们的同僚,就是在河西那边的亚法萨迦人,呈给大利乌王的奏文副本。 7 他们在呈给王的奏文中这样写:“愿大利乌王万事平安。 8 奏知大王:我们去过这犹大省,到了伟大 神的殿,见殿正用光滑石块修建,梁木插入墙内;这工程在他们手里进行得审慎而迅速。 9 于是,我们就这样问那些长老,对他们说:‘谁下令叫你们重建这殿,完成这工程呢?’ 10 为了奏知大王,就问他们的名字,记录他们首领的名。 11 他们这样答复我们,说:‘我们是天地之 神的仆人,正在重建这多年以前已经建好的殿,就是一位以色列伟大的君王所建成的。 12 但因为我们的祖先激怒了天上的 神, 神就把他们交在迦勒底人巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒的手中;尼布甲尼撒就拆毁这殿,把人民掳到巴比伦去。 13 然而在巴比伦王古列元年,古列王下令重建这 神的殿。 14 至于从前尼布甲尼撒从耶路撒冷的殿里掠夺,带到巴比伦庙里的神殿中的金银器皿,古列王也从巴比伦的庙中拿出来,把它们交给一位名叫设巴萨的人,委任他为总督。 15 又吩咐他说:把这些器皿带去,存放在耶路撒冷的殿中;使 神的殿在原来的地方重建起来。 16 于是,这设巴萨回来,奠立了在耶路撒冷 神的殿的根基;从那时起,到现在一直在建造,还没有完成。’ 17 现在王若是以为好,就请查考王在巴比伦的库房,看看那里有没有古列王下令,重建这在耶路撒冷 神的殿的谕旨,并请指示我们王对这事的旨意。”
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。」

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.
