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 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.
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。
7Some 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.
8王第七年五月， 以斯拉 到了 耶路撒冷 。
8He came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, which was in 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 。
9For 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.
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 seek the LORD’s law, and to do it, and to teach 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：
11Now 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:
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 perfect God of heaven. Now
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 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.
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；
14Because 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,
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，
15and 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,
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。
16and 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.
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。
17Therefore 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.
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。
18Whatever 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.
19所交给你 神殿中使用的器皿，你要交在 耶路撒冷 神面前。
19The vessels that are given to you for the service of the house of your God, deliver before the God of Jerusalem.
20你 神殿里若再有需用的经费，你可以从王的府库里支取。
20Whatever 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.
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, 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,
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 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.
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, 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?
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。』
24Also 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.
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。
25You, 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.
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。」
26Whoever 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.
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 such a thing as this in the king’s heart, to beautify the LORD’s house which is 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 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.
