bù jī shì yà bǐ shū de ér zi ， yà bǐ shū shì fēi ní hā de ér zi ， fēi ní hā shì yǐ lì yà sā de ér zi ， yǐ lì yà sā shì dà jì sī yà lún de ér zi 。

the son of Abishua, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the chief priest—

这以斯拉从巴比伦上来，他是敏捷的文士，通达耶和华—以色列 神所赐摩西的律法书。王允准他一切所求的，是因耶和华—他 神的手帮助他。

zhè yǐ sī lā cóng bā bǐ lún shàng lái ， tā shì mǐn jié de wén shì ， tōng dá yē hé huá — yǐ sè liè shén suǒ cì mó xī de lǜ fǎ shū 。 wáng yǔn zhǔn tā yí qiè suǒ qiú de ， shì yīn yē hé huá — tā shén de shǒu bāng zhù tā 。

this Ezra went up from Babylon. He was a skilled scribe in the law of Moses, which the LORD, the God of Israel, had given; and the king granted him all his request, according to the LORD his God’s hand on him.

亚达薛西王第七年，以色列人、祭司、利未人、歌唱的、守门的、尼提宁，有上耶路撒冷的。

yà dá xuē xī wáng dì qī nián ， yǐ sè liè rén 、 jì sī 、 lì wèi rén 、 gē chàng de 、 shǒu mén de 、 ní tí níng ， yǒu shàng yē lù sā lěng de 。

Some of the children of Israel, including some of the priests, the Levites, the singers, the gatekeepers, and the temple servants went up to Jerusalem in the seventh year of Artaxerxes the king.

王第七年五月，以斯拉到了耶路撒冷。

wáng dì qī nián wǔ yuè ， yǐ sī lā dào le yē lù sā lěng 。

He came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, which was in the seventh year of the king.

正月初一日，他从巴比伦起程；因他 神施恩的手帮助他，五月初一日就到了耶路撒冷。

zhēng yuè chū yī rì ， tā cóng bā bǐ lún qǐ chéng ； yīn tā shén shī ēn de shǒu bāng zhù tā ， wǔ yuè chū yī rì jiù dào le yē lù sā lěng 。

For on the first day of the first month he began to go up from Babylon; and on the first day of the fifth month he came to Jerusalem, according to the good hand of his God on him.

以斯拉定志考究遵行耶和华的律法，又将律例典章教训以色列人。

yǐ sī lā dìng zhì kǎo jiū zūn xíng yē hé huá de lǜ fǎ ， yòu jiāng lǜ lì diǎn zhāng jiào xùn yǐ sè liè rén 。

For Ezra had set his heart to seek the LORD’s law, and to do it, and to teach statutes and ordinances in Israel.

祭司以斯拉是通达耶和华诫命和赐以色列之律例的文士。亚达薛西王赐给他们谕旨，上面写着说：

jì sī yǐ sī lā shì tōng dá yē hé huá jiè mìng hé cì yǐ sè liè zhī lǜ lì de wén shì 。 yà dá xuē xī wáng cì gěi tā men yù zhǐ ， shàng miàn xiě zhe shuō ：

Now this is the copy of the letter that King Artaxerxes gave to Ezra the priest, the scribe, even the scribe of the words of the LORD’s commandments, and of his statutes to Israel:

「诸王之王亚达薛西，达于祭司以斯拉通达天上 神律法大德的文士，云云。

「 zhū wáng zhī wáng yà dá xuē xī ， dá yú jì sī yǐ sī lā tōng dá tiān shàng shén lǜ fǎ dà dé de wén shì ， yún yún 。

Artaxerxes, king of kings, To Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the perfect God of heaven. Now

住在我国中的以色列人、祭司、利未人，凡甘心上耶路撒冷去的，我降旨准他们与你同去。

zhù zài wǒ guó zhōng de yǐ sè liè rén 、 jì sī 、 lì wèi rén ， fán gān xīn shàng yē lù sā lěng qù de ， wǒ jiàng zhǐ zhǔn tā men yǔ nǐ tóng qù 。

I make a decree that all those of the people of Israel and their priests and the Levites in my realm, who intend of their own free will to go to Jerusalem, go with you.

王与七个谋士既然差你去，照你手中 神的律法书察问犹大和耶路撒冷的景况；

wáng yǔ qī gè móu shì jì rán chà nǐ qù ， zhào nǐ shǒu zhōng shén de lǜ fǎ shū chá wèn yóu dà hé yē lù sā lěng de jǐng kuàng ；

Because you are sent by the king and his seven counselors to inquire concerning Judah and Jerusalem, according to the law of your God which is in your hand,

又带金银，就是王和谋士甘心献给住耶路撒冷、以色列 神的，

yòu dài jīn yín ， jiù shì wáng hé móu shì gān xīn xiàn gěi zhù yē lù sā lěng 、 yǐ sè liè shén de ，

and to carry the silver and gold, which the king and his counselors have freely offered to the God of Israel, whose habitation is in Jerusalem,

并带你在巴比伦全省所得的金银，和百姓、祭司乐意献给耶路撒冷—他们 神殿的礼物。

bìng dài nǐ zài bā bǐ lún quán shěng suǒ dé de jīn yín ， hé bǎi xìng 、 jì sī lè yì xiàn gěi yē lù sā lěng — tā men shén diàn de lǐ wù 。

and all the silver and gold that you will find in all the province of Babylon, with the free will offering of the people and of the priests, offering willingly for the house of their God which is in Jerusalem.

所以你当用这金银，急速买公牛、公绵羊、绵羊羔，和同献的素祭奠祭之物，献在耶路撒冷—你们 神殿的坛上。

suǒ yǐ nǐ dāng yòng zhè jīn yín ， jí sù mǎi gōng niú 、 gōng mián yáng 、 mián yáng gāo ， hé tóng xiàn de sù jì diàn jì zhī wù ， xiàn zài yē lù sā lěng — nǐ men shén diàn de tán shàng 。

Therefore you shall with all diligence buy with this money bulls, rams, and lambs with their meal offerings and their drink offerings, and shall offer them on the altar of the house of your God which is in Jerusalem.

剩下的金银，你和你的弟兄看着怎样好，就怎样用，总要遵着你们 神的旨意。

shèng xià de jīn yín ， nǐ hé nǐ de dì xiōng kàn zhe zěn yàng hǎo ， jiù zěn yàng yòng ， zǒng yào zūn zhe nǐ men shén de zhǐ yì 。

Whatever seems good to you and to your brothers to do with the rest of the silver and the gold, do that according to the will of your God.

所交给你 神殿中使用的器皿，你要交在耶路撒冷 神面前。

suǒ jiāo gěi nǐ shén diàn zhōng shǐ yòng de qì mǐn ， nǐ yào jiāo zài yē lù sā lěng shén miàn qián 。

The vessels that are given to you for the service of the house of your God, deliver before the God of Jerusalem.

你 神殿里若再有需用的经费，你可以从王的府库里支取。

nǐ shén diàn lǐ ruò zài yǒu xū yòng de jīng fèi ， nǐ kě yǐ cóng wáng de fǔ kù lǐ zhī qǔ 。

Whatever more will be needed for the house of your God, which you may have occasion to give, give it out of the king’s treasure house.

「我—亚达薛西王又降旨与河西的一切库官，说：『通达天上 神律法的文士祭司以斯拉，无论向你们要什么，你们要速速地备办，

「 wǒ — yà dá xuē xī wáng yòu jiàng zhǐ yǔ hé xī de yí qiè kù guān ， shuō ：『 tōng dá tiān shàng shén lǜ fǎ de wén shì jì sī yǐ sī lā ， wú lùn xiàng nǐ men yào shén me ， nǐ men yào sù sù dì bèi bàn ，

I, even I, Artaxerxes the king, make a decree to all the treasurers who are beyond the River, that whatever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, requires of you, it shall be done with all diligence,

就是银子直到一百他连得，麦子一百柯珥，酒一百罢特，油一百罢特，盐不计其数，也要给他。

jiù shì yín zi zhí dào yì bǎi tā lián dé ， mài zi yì bǎi kē ěr ， jiǔ yì bǎi bà tè ， yóu yì bǎi bà tè ， yán bú jì qí shù ， yě yào gěi tā 。

up to one hundred talents of silver, and to one hundred cors of wheat, and to one hundred baths of wine, and to one hundred baths of oil, and salt without prescribing how much.

凡天上之 神所吩咐的，当为天上 神的殿详细办理。为何使忿怒临到王和王众子的国呢？

fán tiān shàng zhī shén suǒ fēn fù de ， dāng wèi tiān shàng shén de diàn xiáng xì bàn lǐ 。 wèi hé shǐ fèn nù lín dào wáng hé wáng zhòng zǐ de guó ne ？

Whatever is commanded by the God of heaven, let it be done exactly for the house of the God of heaven; for why should there be wrath against the realm of the king and his sons?

我又晓谕你们，至于祭司、利未人、歌唱的、守门的，和尼提宁，并在 神殿当差的人，不可叫他们进贡，交课，纳税。』

wǒ yòu xiǎo yù nǐ men ， zhì yú jì sī 、 lì wèi rén 、 gē chàng de 、 shǒu mén de ， hé ní tí níng ， bìng zài shén diàn dāng chāi de rén ， bù kě jiào tā men jìn gòng ， jiāo kè ， nà shuì 。』

Also we inform you that it shall not be lawful to impose tribute, custom, or toll on any of the priests, Levites, singers, gatekeepers, temple servants, or laborers of this house of God.

「以斯拉啊，要照着你 神赐你的智慧，将所有明白你 神律法的人立为士师、审判官，治理河西的百姓，使他们教训一切不明白 神律法的人。

「 yǐ sī lā a ， yào zhào zhe nǐ shén cì nǐ de zhì huì ， jiāng suǒ yǒu míng bái nǐ shén lǜ fǎ de rén lì wèi shì shī 、 shěn pàn guān ， zhì lǐ hé xī de bǎi xìng ， shǐ tā men jiào xùn yí qiè bù míng bái shén lǜ fǎ de rén 。

You, Ezra, according to the wisdom of your God that is in your hand, appoint magistrates and judges who may judge all the people who are beyond the River, who all know the laws of your God; and teach him who doesn’t know them.

凡不遵行你 神律法和王命令的人就当速速定他的罪，或治死，或充军，或抄家，或囚禁。」

fán bù zūn xíng nǐ shén lǜ fǎ hé wáng mìng lìng de rén jiù dāng sù sù dìng tā de zuì ， huò zhì sǐ ， huò chōng jūn ， huò chāo jiā ， huò qiú jìn 。」

Whoever will not do the law of your God and the law of the king, let judgment be executed on him with all diligence, whether it is to death, or to banishment, or to confiscation of goods, or to imprisonment.

以斯拉说：「耶和华—我们列祖的 神是应当称颂的！因他使王起这心意修饰耶路撒冷耶和华的殿，

yǐ sī lā shuō ：「 yē hé huá — wǒ men liè zǔ de shén shì yìng dāng chēng sòng de ！ yīn tā shǐ wáng qǐ zhè xīn yì xiū shì yē lù sā lěng yē hé huá de diàn ，

Blessed be the LORD, the God of our fathers, who has put such a thing as this in the king’s heart, to beautify the LORD’s house which is in Jerusalem;

又在王和谋士，并大能的军长面前施恩于我。因耶和华—我 神的手帮助我，我就得以坚强，从以色列中招聚首领，与我一同上来。」

yòu zài wáng hé móu shì ， bìng dà néng de jūn cháng miàn qián shī ēn yú wǒ 。 yīn yē hé huá — wǒ shén de shǒu bāng zhù wǒ ， wǒ jiù dé yǐ jiān qiáng ， cóng yǐ sè liè zhōng zhāo jù shǒu lǐng ， yǔ wǒ yì tóng shàng lái 。」

and has extended loving kindness to me before the king and his counselors, and before all the king’s mighty princes. I was strengthened according to the LORD my God’s hand on me, and I gathered together chief men out of Israel to go up with me.
