以斯拉記 8

當亞達薛西王年間，同我從巴比倫上來的人，他們的族長和他們的家譜記在下面：

dāng yà dá xuē xī wáng nián jiān ， tóng wǒ cóng bā bǐ lún shàng lái de rén ， tā men de zú zhǎng hé tā men de jiā pǔ jì zài xià miàn ：

屬約押的子孫有耶歇的兒子俄巴底亞，同着他有男丁二百一十八；

shǔ yuē yā de zǐ sūn yǒu yē xiē de ér zi é bā dǐ yà ， tóng zhe tā yǒu nán dīng èr bǎi yī shí bā ；

shǔ bǐ gé wǎ yī de zǐ sūn yǒu wū tài hé sǎ bù ， tóng zhe tā men yǒu nán dīng qī shí 。

Of the sons of Bigvai, Uthai and Zabbud; and with them seventy males.

我招聚這些人在流入亞哈瓦的河邊，我們在那裏住了三日。我查看百姓和祭司，見沒有利未人在那裏，

wǒ zhāo jù zhè xiē rén zài liú rù yà hā wǎ de hé biān ， wǒ men zài nà lǐ zhù le sān rì 。 wǒ chá kàn bǎi xìng hé jì sī ， jiàn méi yǒu lì wèi rén zài nà lǐ ，

I gathered them together to the river that runs to Ahava; and there we encamped three days. Then I looked around at the people and the priests, and found there were none of the sons of Levi.

就召首領以利以謝、亞列、示瑪雅、以利拿單、雅立、以利拿單、拿單、撒迦利亞、米書蘭，又召教習約雅立和以利拿單。

jiù zhào shǒu lǐng yǐ lì yǐ xiè 、 yà liè 、 shì mǎ yǎ 、 yǐ lì ná dān 、 yǎ lì 、 yǐ lì ná dān 、 ná dān 、 sā jiā lì yà 、 mǐ shū lán ， yòu zhào jiào xí yuē yǎ lì hé yǐ lì ná dān 。

Then I sent for Eliezer, for Ariel, for Shemaiah, for Elnathan, for Jarib, for Elnathan, for Nathan, for Zechariah, and for Meshullam, chief men; also for Joiarib and for Elnathan, who were teachers.

我打發他們往迦西斐雅地方去見那裏的首領易多，又告訴他們當向易多和他的弟兄尼提寧說甚麼話，叫他們為我們上帝的殿帶使用的人來。

wǒ dǎ fā tā men wǎng jiā xī fěi yǎ dì fāng qù jiàn nà lǐ de shǒu lǐng yì duō ， yòu gào sù tā men dāng xiàng yì duō hé tā de dì xiong ní tí níng shuō shén me huà ， jiào tā men wèi wǒ men shén de diàn dài shǐ yòng de rén lái 。

I sent them out to Iddo the chief at the place Casiphia; and I told them what they should tell Iddo and his brothers the temple servants at the place Casiphia, that they should bring to us ministers for the house of our God.

蒙我們上帝施恩的手幫助我們，他們在以色列的曾孫、利未的孫子、抹利的後裔中帶一個通達人來；還有示利比和他的眾子與弟兄共一十八人。

méng wǒ men shén shī ēn de shǒu bāng zhù wǒ men ， tā men zài yǐ sè liè de zēng sūn 、 lì wèi de sūn zi 、 mǒ lì de hòu yì zhōng dài yí gè tōng dá rén lái ； hái yǒu shì lì bǐ hé tā de zhòng zǐ yǔ dì xiong gòng yī shí bā rén 。

According to the good hand of our God on us they brought us a man of discretion, of the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel, namely Sherebiah, with his sons and his brothers, eighteen;

又有哈沙比雅，同着他有米拉利的子孫耶篩亞，並他的眾子和弟兄共二十人。

yòu yǒu hā shā bǐ yǎ ， tóng zhe tā yǒu mǐ lā lì de zǐ sūn yē shāi yà ， bìng tā de zhòng zǐ hé dì xiong gòng èr shí rén 。

and Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah of the sons of Merari, his brothers and their sons, twenty;

從前大衛和眾首領派尼提寧服事利未人，現在從這尼提寧中也帶了二百二十人來，都是按名指定的。

cóng qián dà wèi hé zhòng shǒu lǐng pài ní tí níng fú shì lì wèi rén ， xiàn zài cóng zhè ní tí níng zhōng yě dài le èr bǎi èr shí rén lái ， dōu shì àn míng zhǐ dìng de 。

and of the temple servants, whom David and the princes had given for the service of the Levites, two hundred twenty temple servants. All of them were mentioned by name.

那時，我在亞哈瓦河邊宣告禁食，為要在我們上帝面前克苦己心，求他使我們和婦人孩子，並一切所有的，都得平坦的道路。

nà shí ， wǒ zài yà hā wǎ hé biān xuān gào jìn shí ， wèi yào zài wǒ men shén miàn qián kè kǔ jǐ xīn ， qiú tā shǐ wǒ men hé fù rén hái zi ， bìng yí qiè suǒ yǒu de ， dōu dé píng tǎn de dào lù 。

Then I proclaimed a fast there at the river Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God, to seek from him a straight way for us, for our little ones, and for all our possessions.

我求王撥步兵馬兵幫助我們抵擋路上的仇敵，本以為羞恥；因我曾對王說：「我們上帝施恩的手必幫助一切尋求他的；但他的能力和忿怒必攻擊一切離棄他的。」

wǒ qiú wáng bō bù bīng mǎ bīng bāng zhù wǒ men dǐ dǎng lù shang de chóu dí ， běn yǐ wéi xiū chǐ ； yīn wǒ céng duì wáng shuō ：「 wǒ men shén shī ēn de shǒu bì bāng zhù yí qiè xún qiú tā de ； dàn tā de néng lì hé fèn nù bì gōng jī yí qiè lí qì tā de 。」

For I was ashamed to ask of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy on the way, because we had spoken to the king, saying, “The hand of our God is on all those who seek him, for good; but his power and his wrath is against all those who forsake him.”

所以我們禁食祈求我們的上帝，他就應允了我們。

suǒ yǐ wǒ men jìn shí qí qiú wǒ men de shén ， tā jiù yīng yǔn le wǒ men 。

So we fasted and begged our God for this, and he granted our request.

我分派祭司長十二人，就是示利比、哈沙比雅，和他們的弟兄十人，

wǒ fēn pài jì sī cháng shí èr rén ， jiù shì shì lì bǐ 、 hā shā bǐ yǎ ， hé tā men de dì xiong shí rén ，

Then I set apart twelve of the chiefs of the priests, even Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brothers with them,

將王和謀士、軍長，並在那裏的以色列眾人為我們上帝殿所獻的金銀和器皿，都秤了交給他們。

jiāng wáng hé móu shì 、 jūn zhǎng ， bìng zài nà lǐ de yǐ sè liè zhòng rén wéi wǒ men shén diàn suǒ xiàn de jīn yín hé qì mǐn ， dōu chèng le jiāo gěi tā men 。

and weighed to them the silver, the gold, and the vessels, even the offering for the house of our God, which the king, his counselors, his princes, and all Israel there present, had offered.

我秤了交在他們手中的銀子有六百五十他連得；銀器重一百他連得；金子一百他連得；

wǒ chèng le jiāo zài tā men shǒu zhōng de yín zi yǒu liù bǎi wǔ shí tā lián dé ； yín qì zhòng yì bǎi tā lián dé ； jīn zǐ yì bǎi tā lián dé ；

I weighed into their hand six hundred fifty talents of silver, one hundred talents of silver vessels, one hundred talents of gold,

金碗二十個，重一千達利克；上等光銅的器皿兩個，寶貴如金。

jīn wǎn èr shí gè ， zhòng yì qiān dá lì kè ； shàng děng guāng tóng de qì mǐn liǎng gè ， bǎo guì rú jīn 。

twenty bowls of gold weighing one thousand darics, and two vessels of fine bright bronze, precious as gold.

我對他們說：「你們歸耶和華為聖，器皿也為聖；金銀是甘心獻給耶和華－你們列祖之上帝的。

wǒ duì tā men shuō ：「 nǐ men guī yē hé huá wèi shèng ， qì mǐn yě wèi shèng ； jīn yín shì gān xīn xiàn gěi yē hé huá — nǐ men liè zǔ zhī shén de 。

I said to them, “You are holy to the LORD, and the vessels are holy. The silver and the gold are a free will offering to the LORD, the God of your fathers.

你們當警醒看守，直到你們在耶路撒冷耶和華殿的庫內，在祭司長和利未族長，並以色列的各族長面前過了秤。」

nǐ men dāng jǐng xǐng kān shǒu ， zhí dào nǐ men zài yē lù sā lěng yē hé huá diàn de kù nèi ， zài jì sī zhǎng hé lì wèi zú zhǎng ， bìng yǐ sè liè de gè zú zhǎng miàn qián guò le chèng 。」

Watch and keep them until you weigh them before the chiefs of the priests, the Levites, and the princes of the fathers’ households of Israel at Jerusalem, in the rooms of the LORD’s house.”

於是，祭司、利未人按着分量接受金銀和器皿，要帶到耶路撒冷我們上帝的殿裏。

yú shì ， jì sī 、 lì wèi rén àn zhe fēn liáng jiē shòu jīn yín hé qì mǐn ， yào dài dào yē lù sā lěng wǒ men shén de diàn lǐ 。

So the priests and the Levites received the weight of the silver, the gold, and the vessels, to bring them to Jerusalem to the house of our God.

正月十二日，我們從亞哈瓦河邊起行，要往耶路撒冷去。我們上帝的手保佑我們，救我們脫離仇敵和路上埋伏之人的手。

zhēng yuè shí èr rì ， wǒ men cóng yà hā wǎ hé biān qǐ xíng ， yào wǎng yē lù sā lěng qù 。 wǒ men shén de shǒu bǎo yòu wǒ men ， jiù wǒ men tuō lí chóu dí hé lù shang mái fú zhī rén de shǒu 。

Then we departed from the river Ahava on the twelfth day of the first month, to go to Jerusalem. The hand of our God was on us, and he delivered us from the hand of the enemy and the bandits by the way.

我們到了耶路撒冷，在那裏住了三日。

wǒ men dào le yē lù sā lěng ， zài nà lǐ zhù le sān rì 。

We came to Jerusalem, and stayed there three days.

第四日，在我們上帝的殿裏把金銀和器皿都秤了，交在祭司烏利亞的兒子米利末的手中。同着他有非尼哈的兒子以利亞撒，還有利未人耶書亞的兒子約撒拔和賓內的兒子挪亞底。

dì sì rì ， zài wǒ men shén de diàn lǐ bǎ jīn yín hé qì mǐn dōu chèng le ， jiāo zài jì sī wū lì yà de ér zi mǐ lì mò de shǒu zhōng 。 tóng zhe tā yǒu fēi ní hā de ér zi yǐ lì yà sā ， hái yǒu lì wèi rén yē shū yà de ér zi yuē sā bá hé bīn nèi de ér zi nuó yà dǐ 。

On the fourth day the silver and the gold and the vessels were weighed in the house of our God into the hand of Meremoth the son of Uriah the priest; and with him was Eleazar the son of Phinehas; and with them were Jozabad the son of Jeshua, and Noadiah the son of Binnui, the Levites.

當時都點了數目，按着分量寫在冊上。

dāng shí dōu diǎn le shù mù ， àn zhe fèn liàng xiě zài cè shàng 。

Everything was counted and weighed; and all the weight was written at that time.

從擄到之地歸回的人向以色列的上帝獻燔祭，就是為以色列眾人獻公牛十二隻，公綿羊九十六隻，綿羊羔七十七隻，又獻公山羊十二隻作贖罪祭，這都是向耶和華焚獻的。

cóng lǔ dào zhī dì guī huí de rén xiàng yǐ sè liè de shén xiàn fán jì ， jiù shì wèi yǐ sè liè zhòng rén xiàn gōng niú shí èr zhī ， gōng mián yáng jiǔ shí liù zhī ， mián yáng gāo qī shí qī zhī ， yòu xiàn gōng shān yáng shí èr zhī zuò shú zuì jì ， zhè dōu shì xiàng yē hé huá fén xiàn de 。

The children of the captivity, who had come out of exile, offered burnt offerings to the God of Israel: twelve bulls for all Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, and twelve male goats for a sin offering. All this was a burnt offering to the LORD.

他們將王的諭旨交給王所派的總督與河西的省長，他們就幫助百姓，又供給上帝殿裏所需用的。

tā men jiāng wáng de yù zhǐ jiāo gěi wáng suǒ pài de zǒng dū yǔ hé xī de shěng zhǎng ， tā men jiù bāng zhù bǎi xìng ， yòu gōng jǐ shén diàn lǐ suǒ xū yòng de 。

They delivered the king’s commissions to the king’s local governors and to the governors beyond the River. So they supported the people and God’s house.
