1And now the seventh month was come, and the children of Israel were in their cities: and the people gathered themselves together as one man to Jerusalem.
1到了七月， 以色列 人住在各城；那时他们如同一人，聚集在 耶路撒冷 。
2And Josue the son of Josedec rose up, and his brethren the priests, and Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, and his brethren, and they built the altar of the God of Israel that they might offer holocausts upon it, as it is written in the law of Moses the mall of God.
2约萨达 的儿子 耶书亚 和他的弟兄众祭司，并 撒拉铁 的儿子 所罗巴伯 与他的弟兄，都起来建筑 以色列 神的坛，要照神人 摩西 律法书上所写的，在坛上献燔祭。
3And they set the altar of God upon its bases, while the people of the lands round about put them in fear, and they offered upon it a holocaust to the Lord morning and evening.
3他们在原有的根基上筑坛，因惧怕邻国的民，又在其上向耶和华早晚献燔祭，
4And they kept the feast of tabernacles, as it is written, and offered the holocaust every day orderly according to the commandment, the duty of the day in its day.
4又照律法书上所写的守住棚节，按数照例 献 每日所当献的燔祭；
5And afterwards the continual holocaust, both on the new moons, and on all the solemnities of the Lord, that were consecrated, and on all in which a free-will offering was made to the Lord.
5其后献常献的燔祭，并在月朔与耶和华的一切圣节献祭，又向耶和华献各人的甘心祭。
6From the first day of the seventh month they began to offer holocausts to the Lord: but the temple of God was not yet founded.
6从七月初一日起，他们就向耶和华献燔祭。但耶和华殿的根基尚未立定。
7And they gave money to hewers of stones and to masons: and meat and drink, and oil to the Sidonians and Tyrians, to bring cedar trees from Libanus to the sea of Joppe, according to the orders which Cyrus king of the Persians had given them.
7他们又将银子给石匠、木匠，把粮食、酒、油给 西顿 人、 泰尔 人，使他们将香柏树从 黎巴嫩 运到海里，浮海运到 约帕 ，是照 波斯 王 塞鲁士 所允准的。
8And in the second year of their coming to the temple of God in Jerusalem, the second month, Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, and Josue the son of Josedec, and the rest of their brethren the priests, and the Levites, and all that were come from the captivity to Jerusalem began, and they appointed Levites from twenty years old and upward, to hasten forward the work of the Lord.
8百姓到了 耶路撒冷 神殿的地方。第二年二月， 撒拉铁 的儿子 所罗巴伯 ， 约萨达 的儿子 耶书亚 和其余的弟兄，就是祭司、 利未 人，并一切被掳归回 耶路撒冷 的人，都兴工建造；又派 利未 人，从二十岁以外的，督理建造耶和华殿的工作。
9Then Josue and his sons and his brethren, Cedmihel, and his sons, and the children of Juda, as one man, stood to hasten them that did the work in the temple of God: the sons of Henadad, and their sons, and their brethren the Levites.
9于是 犹大 的后裔，就是 耶书亚 和他的子孙与弟兄， 甲篾 和他的子孙， 利未 人 希拿达 的子孙与弟兄，都一同起来，督理那在 神殿做工的人。
10And when the masons laid the foundations of the temple of the Lord, the priests stood in their ornaments with trumpets: and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise God by the hands of David king of Israel.
10匠人立耶和华殿根基的时候，祭司皆穿礼服吹号， 亚萨 的子孙 利未 人敲钹，照 以色列 王 大卫 所定的例，都站着赞美耶和华。
11And they sung together hymns, and praise to the Lord: because he is good, for his mercy endureth for ever towards Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, praising the Lord, because the foundations of the temple of the Lord were laid.
11他们彼此唱和，赞美称谢耶和华 说 ： 他本为善， 他向 以色列 人永发慈爱。 他们赞美耶和华的时候，众民大声呼喊，因耶和华殿的根基已经立定。
12But many of the priests and the Levites, and the chief of the fathers and the ancients that had seen the former temple; when they had the foundation of this temple before their eyes, wept with a loud voice: and many shouting for joy, lifted up their voice.
12然而有许多祭司、 利未 人、族长，就是见过旧殿的老年人，现在亲眼看见立这殿的根基，便大声哭号，也有许多人大声欢呼，
13So that one could not distinguish the voice of the shout of joy, from the noise of the weeping of the people: for one with another the people shouted with a loud shout, and the voice was heard afar off.
13甚至百姓不能分辨欢呼的声音和哭号的声音；因为众人大声呼喊，声音听到远处。
