6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。
6this Ezra came up from Babylon. He was a scribe skilled in the Law of Moses, which the LORD, the God of Israel, had given. The king had granted Ezra all his requests, for the hand of the LORD his God was upon him.
7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。

8Ezra arrived in Jerusalem in the fifth month of the seventh year of the king.
9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 。
9He had begun the journey from Babylon on the first day of the first month, and he arrived in Jerusalem on the first day of the fifth month, for the gracious hand of his God was upon him.
10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。
10For Ezra had set his heart to study the Law of the LORD, to practice it, and to teach its statutes and ordinances in Israel.
11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：
11This is the text of the letter King Artaxerxes had given to Ezra the priest and scribe, an expert in the commandments and statutes of the LORD to Israel:
12「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。
12Artaxerxes, king of kings. To Ezra the priest, the scribe of the Law of the God of heaven: Greetings.
13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。
13I hereby decree that any volunteers among the Israelites in my kingdom, including the priests and Levites, may go up with you to Jerusalem.
14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；
14You are sent by the king and his seven counselors to evaluate Judah and Jerusalem according to the Law of your God, which is in your hand.
15又带金银，就是王和谋士甘心献给住 耶路撒冷 、 以色列 神的，
15Moreover, you are to take with you the silver and gold that the king and his counselors have freely offered to the God of Israel, whose dwelling is in Jerusalem,
16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。
16together with all the silver and gold you may find in all the province of Babylon, as well as the freewill offerings of the people and priests to the house of their God in Jerusalem.
17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。
17With this money, therefore, you are to buy as many bulls, rams, and lambs as needed, together with their grain offerings and drink offerings, and offer them on the altar at the house of your God in Jerusalem.
18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。
18You and your brothers may do whatever seems best with the rest of the silver and gold, according to the will of your God.
19所交给你 神殿中使用的器皿，你要交在 耶路撒冷 神面前。
19You must deliver to the God of Jerusalem all the articles given to you for the service of the house of your God.
20你 神殿里若再有需用的经费，你可以从王的府库里支取。
20And if anything else is needed for the house of your God that you may have occasion to supply, you may pay for it from the royal treasury.
21「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，
21I, King Artaxerxes, decree to all the treasurers west of the Euphrates: Whatever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the Law of the God of heaven, may require of you, it must be provided promptly,
22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。
22up to a hundred talents of silver, a hundred cors of wheat, a hundred baths of wine, a hundred baths of olive oil, and salt without limit.
23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？
23Whatever is commanded by the God of heaven must be done diligently for His house. For why should wrath fall on the realm of the king and his sons?
24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。』
24And be advised that you have no authority to impose tribute, duty, or toll on any of the priests, Levites, singers, doorkeepers, temple servants, or other servants of this house of God.
25「 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。
25And you, Ezra, according to the wisdom of your God which you possess, are to appoint magistrates and judges to judge all the people west of the Euphrates—all who know the laws of your God. And you are to teach these laws to anyone who does not know them.
26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。」
26If anyone does not keep the law of your God and the law of the king, let a strict judgment be executed against him, whether death, banishment, confiscation of property, or imprisonment.
27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，
27Blessed be the LORD, the God of our fathers, who has put into the heart of the king to so honor the house of the LORD in Jerusalem,
28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。」
28and who has shown me favor before the king, his counselors, and all his powerful officials. And because the hand of the LORD my God was upon me, I took courage and gathered the leaders of Israel to return with me.
