Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
1When the seventh month had 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；那时他们如同一人，聚集在 耶路撒冷 。
2Then Jeshua the son of Jozadak stood up with his brothers the priests and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and his relatives, and built the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings on it, as it is written in the law of Moses the man 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。
3In spite of their fear because of the peoples of the surrounding lands, they set the altar on its base; and they offered burnt offerings on it to the LORD, even burnt offerings 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，
4They kept the feast of booths, as it is written, and offered the daily burnt offerings by number, according to the ordinance, as the duty of every day required;
4又照律法书上所写的守住棚节，按数照例 献 每日所当献的燔祭；
5and afterward the continual burnt offering, the offerings of the new moons, of all the set feasts of the LORD that were consecrated, and of everyone who willingly offered a free will offering 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 burnt offerings to the LORD; but the foundation of the LORD’s temple was not yet laid.
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。
7They also gave money to the masons and to the carpenters. They also gave food, drink, and oil to the people of Sidon and Tyre to bring cedar trees from Lebanon to the sea, to Joppa, according to the grant that they had from Cyrus King of Persia.
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。
8Now in the second year of their coming to God’s house at Jerusalem, in the second month, Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the rest of their brothers the priests and the Levites, and all those who had come out of the captivity to Jerusalem, began the work and appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to have the oversight of the work of the LORD’s house.
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 Jeshua stood with his sons and his brothers, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah, together to have the oversight of the workmen in God’s house: the sons of Henadad, with their sons and their brothers 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。
10When the builders laid the foundation of the LORD’s temple, they set the priests in their vestments with trumpets, with the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise the LORD, according to the directions 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。
11They sang to one another in praising and giving thanks to the LORD, “For he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever toward Israel.” All the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the LORD, because the foundation of the LORD’s house had been 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 Levites and heads of fathers’ households, the old men who had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice. Many also shouted aloud for joy,
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 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 far away.
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。
