1這事以後， 波斯 王 亞達薛西 年間，有個 以斯拉 ，他是 西萊雅 的兒子， 西萊雅 是 亞撒利雅 的兒子， 亞撒利雅 是 希勒家 的兒子，
1Now after these things, in the reign of Artaxerxes king of Persia, Ezra the son of Seraiah, the son of Azariah, the son of Hilkiah,
2希勒家 是 沙龍 的兒子， 沙龍 是 撒督 的兒子， 撒督 是 亞希突 的兒子，
2The son of Shallum, the son of Zadok, the son of Ahitub,
3亞希突 是 亞瑪利雅 的兒子， 亞瑪利雅 是 亞撒利雅 的兒子， 亞撒利雅 是 米拉約 的兒子，
3The son of Amariah, the son of Azariah, the son of Meraioth,
4米拉約 是 西拉希雅 的兒子， 西拉希雅 是 烏西 的兒子， 烏西 是 布基 的兒子，
4The son of Zerahiah, the son of Uzzi, the son of Bukki,
5布基 是 亞比書 的兒子， 亞比書 是 非尼哈 的兒子， 非尼哈 是 以利亞撒 的兒子， 以利亞撒 是大祭司 亞倫 的兒子。
5The son of Abishua, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the chief priest:
6這 以斯拉 從 巴比倫 上來，他是敏捷的文士，通達耶和華－ 以色列 上帝所賜 摩西 的律法書。王允准他一切所求的，是因耶和華－他上帝的手幫助他。
6This Ezra went up from Babylon; and he was a ready scribe in the law of Moses, which the LORD God of Israel had given: and the king granted him all his request, according to the hand of the LORD his God upon him.
7亞達薛西 王第七年， 以色列 人、祭司、 利未 人、歌唱的、守門的、尼提寧，有上 耶路撒冷 的。
7And there went up some of the children of Israel, and of the priests, and the Levites, and the singers, and the porters, and the Nethinims, unto 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 。
8And he came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, which was in the seventh year of the king.
9正月初一日，他從 巴比倫 起程；因他上帝施恩的手幫助他，五月初一日就到了 耶路撒冷 。
9For upon the first day of the first month began he to go up from Babylon, and on the first day of the fifth month came he to Jerusalem, according to the good hand of his God upon him.
10以斯拉 定志考究遵行耶和華的律法，又將律例典章教訓 以色列 人。
10For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the law of the LORD , and to do it , and to teach in Israel statutes and judgments.
11祭司 以斯拉 是通達耶和華誡命和賜 以色列 之律例的文士。 亞達薛西 王賜給他們諭旨，上面寫着說：
11¶ Now this is the copy of the letter that the king Artaxerxes gave unto Ezra the priest, the scribe, even a scribe of the words of the commandments of the LORD , and of his statutes to Israel.
12「諸王之王 亞達薛西 ，達於祭司 以斯拉 通達天上上帝律法大德的文士，云云。
12Artaxerxes, king of kings, unto Ezra the priest, a scribe of the law of the God of heaven, perfect peace , and at such a time.
13住在我國中的 以色列 人、祭司、 利未 人，凡甘心上 耶路撒冷 去的，我降旨准他們與你同去。
13I make a decree, that all they of the people of Israel, and of his priests and Levites, in my realm, which are minded of their own freewill to go up to Jerusalem, go with thee.
14王與七個謀士既然差你去，照你手中上帝的律法書察問 猶大 和 耶路撒冷 的景況；
14Forasmuch as thou art sent of the king, and of his seven counsellors, to enquire concerning Judah and Jerusalem, according to the law of thy God which is in thine hand;
15又帶金銀，就是王和謀士甘心獻給住 耶路撒冷 、 以色列 上帝的，
15And to carry the silver and gold, which the king and his counsellors have freely offered unto the God of Israel, whose habitation is in Jerusalem,
16並帶你在 巴比倫 全省所得的金銀，和百姓、祭司樂意獻給 耶路撒冷 －他們上帝殿的禮物。
16And all the silver and gold that thou canst find in all the province of Babylon, with the freewill offering of the people, and of the priests, offering willingly for the house of their God which is in Jerusalem:
17所以你當用這金銀，急速買公牛、公綿羊、綿羊羔，和同獻的素祭奠祭之物，獻在 耶路撒冷 －你們上帝殿的壇上。
17That thou mayest buy speedily with this money bullocks, rams, lambs, with their meat offerings and their drink offerings, and offer them upon the altar of the house of your God which is in Jerusalem.
18剩下的金銀，你和你的弟兄看着怎樣好，就怎樣用，總要遵着你們上帝的旨意。
18And whatsoever shall seem good to thee, and to thy brethren, to do with the rest of the silver and the gold, that do after the will of your God.
19所交給你上帝殿中使用的器皿，你要交在 耶路撒冷 上帝面前。
19The vessels also that are given thee for the service of the house of thy God, those deliver thou before the God of Jerusalem.
20你上帝殿裏若再有需用的經費，你可以從王的府庫裏支取。
20And whatsoever more shall be needful for the house of thy God, which thou shalt have occasion to bestow, bestow it out of the king’s treasure house.
21「我－ 亞達薛西 王又降旨與 河西 的一切庫官，說：『通達天上上帝律法的文士祭司 以斯拉 ，無論向你們要甚麼，你們要速速地備辦，
21And I, even I Artaxerxes the king, do make a decree to all the treasurers which are beyond the river, that whatsoever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, shall require of you, it be done speedily,
22就是銀子直到一百他連得，麥子一百柯珥，酒一百罷特，油一百罷特，鹽不計其數，也要給他。
22Unto an hundred talents of silver, and to an hundred measures of wheat, and to an hundred baths of wine, and to an hundred baths of oil, and salt without prescribing how much .
23凡天上之上帝所吩咐的，當為天上上帝的殿詳細辦理。為何使忿怒臨到王和王眾子的國呢？
23Whatsoever is commanded by the God of heaven, let it be diligently done for the house of the God of heaven: for why should there be wrath against the realm of the king and his sons?
24我又曉諭你們，至於祭司、 利未 人、歌唱的、守門的，和尼提寧，並在上帝殿當差的人，不可叫他們進貢，交課，納稅。』
24Also we certify you, that touching any of the priests and Levites, singers, porters, Nethinims, or ministers of this house of God, it shall not be lawful to impose toll, tribute, or custom, upon them.
25「 以斯拉 啊，要照着你上帝賜你的智慧，將所有明白你上帝律法的人立為士師、審判官，治理 河西 的百姓，使他們教訓一切不明白 上帝 律法的人。
25And thou, Ezra, after the wisdom of thy God, that is in thine hand, set magistrates and judges, which may judge all the people that are beyond the river, all such as know the laws of thy God; and teach ye them that know them not.
26凡不遵行你上帝律法和王命令的人就當速速定他的罪，或治死，或充軍，或抄家，或囚禁。」
26And whosoever will not do the law of thy God, and the law of the king, let judgment be executed speedily upon him, whether it be unto death, or to banishment, or to confiscation of goods, or to imprisonment.
27以斯拉 說：「耶和華－我們列祖的上帝是應當稱頌的！因他使王起這心意修飾 耶路撒冷 耶和華的殿，
27¶ Blessed be the LORD God of our fathers, which hath put such a thing as this in the king’s heart, to beautify the house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem:
28又在王和謀士，並大能的軍長面前施恩於我。因耶和華－我上帝的手幫助我，我就得以堅強，從 以色列 中招聚首領，與我一同上來。」
28And hath extended mercy unto me before the king, and his counsellors, and before all the king’s mighty princes. And I was strengthened as the hand of the LORD my God was upon me, and I gathered together out of Israel chief men to go up with me.
