Ezra 3
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1And when the seventh month was come, and the children of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered themselves together as one man to Jerusalem.
1到了七月， 以色列 人住在各城；那時他們如同一人，聚集在 耶路撒冷 。
2Then stood up Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and his brethren, and builded the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt-offerings thereon, as it is written in the Law of Moses the man of God.
2約薩達 兒子 耶書亞 和他的弟兄眾祭司，並 撒拉鐵 的兒子 所羅巴伯 與他的弟兄，都起來建築 以色列 上帝的壇，要照神人 摩西 律法書上所寫的，在壇上獻燔祭。
3And they set the altar upon its bases; for fear was upon them because of the people of the countries, and they offered burnt-offerings thereon unto the LORD, even burnt-offerings morning and evening.
3他們在原有的根基上築壇，因懼怕鄰國的民，又在其上向耶和華早晚獻燔祭，
4And they kept the feast of tabernacles, as it is written, and offered the daily burnt-offerings by number, according to the ordinance, as the duty of every day required;
4又照律法書上所寫的守住棚節，按數照例 獻 每日所當獻的燔祭；
5and afterward the continual burnt-offering, and the offerings of the new moons, and of all the appointed seasons of the LORD that were hallowed, and of every one that willingly offered a freewill-offering unto the LORD.
5其後獻常獻的燔祭，並在月朔與耶和華的一切聖節獻祭，又向耶和華獻各人的甘心祭。
6From the first day of the seventh month began they to offer burnt-offerings unto the LORD; but the foundation of the temple of the LORD was not yet laid.
6從七月初一日起，他們就向耶和華獻燔祭。但耶和華殿的根基尚未立定。
7They gave money also unto the hewers, and to the carpenters; and food, and drink, and oil, unto them of Zidon, and to them of Tyre, to bring cedar-trees from Lebanon to the sea, unto Joppa, according to the grant that they had of Cyrus king of Persia.
7他們又將銀子給石匠、木匠，把糧食、酒、油給 西頓 人、 泰爾 人，使他們將香柏樹從 黎巴嫩 運到海裏，浮海運到 約帕 ，是照 波斯 王 塞魯士 所允准的。
8Now in the second year of their coming unto the house of God at Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the rest of their brethren the priests and the Levites, and all they that were come out of the captivity unto Jerusalem; and appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to have the oversight of the work of the house of the LORD.
8百姓到了 耶路撒冷 上帝殿的地方。第二年二月， 撒拉鐵 的兒子 所羅巴伯 ， 約薩達 的兒子 耶書亞 和其餘的弟兄，就是祭司、 利未 人，並一切被擄歸回 耶路撒冷 的人，都興工建造；又派 利未 人，從二十歲以外的，督理建造耶和華殿的工作。
9Then stood Jeshua with his sons and his brethren, and Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah, together, to have the oversight of the workmen in the house of God; the sons of Henadad also, with their sons and their brethren the Levites.
9於是 猶大 的後裔，就是 耶書亞 和他的子孫與弟兄， 甲篾 和他的子孫， 利未 人 希拿達 的子孫與弟兄，都一同起來，督理那在上帝殿做工的人。
10And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the LORD, they set the priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise the LORD, according to the direction of David king of Israel.
10匠人立耶和華殿根基的時候，祭司皆穿禮服吹號， 亞薩 的子孫 利未 人敲鈸，照 以色列 王 大衛 所定的例，都站着讚美耶和華。
11And they sang one to another in praising and giving thanks unto the LORD: 'for He is good, for His mercy endureth for ever toward Israel.' And all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the LORD, because the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid.
11他們彼此唱和，讚美稱謝耶和華 說 ： 他本為善， 他向 以色列 人永發慈愛。 他們讚美耶和華的時候，眾民大聲呼喊，因耶和華殿的根基已經立定。
12But many of the priests and Levites and heads of fathers' houses, the old men that had seen the first house standing on its foundation, wept with a loud voice, when this house was before their eyes; and many shouted aloud for joy;
12然而有許多祭司、 利未 人、族長，就是見過舊殿的老年人，現在親眼看見立這殿的根基，便大聲哭號，也有許多人大聲歡呼，
13so that the people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people; for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard afar off.
13甚至百姓不能分辨歡呼的聲音和哭號的聲音；因為眾人大聲呼喊，聲音聽到遠處。
