¹⁵And I gathered them together to the river that runneth to Ahava; and there abode we in tents three days: and I viewed the people, and the priests, and found there none of the sons of Levi.

¹⁵召集利未人和殿役“我召集他們到那條流往亞哈瓦的河邊；我們在那裡安營住了三天。當我視察民眾和祭司的時候，發現沒有利未人在那裡。

¹⁶Then sent I for Eliezer, for Ariel, for Shemaiah, and for Elnathan, and for Jarib, and for Elnathan, and for Nathan, and for Zechariah, and for Meshullam, chief men; also for Joiarib, and for Elnathan, men of understanding.

¹⁶於是我把首領以利以謝、亞列、示瑪雅、以利拿單、雅立、以利拿單、拿單、撒迦利亞和米書蘭召來，也把有學問的教師約雅立和以利拿單召來，

¹⁷And I sent them with commandment unto Iddo the chief at the place Casiphia, and I told them what they should say unto Iddo, and to his brethren the Nethinims, at the place Casiphia, that they should bring unto us ministers for the house of our God.

¹⁷差派他們到迦西斐雅的地方那裡去見首領易多，又把他們在迦西斐雅的地方，對易多和他作殿役的親族所當說的話都告訴他們，請他們為我們　神的殿打發僕人到我們這裡來。

¹⁸And by the good hand of our God upon us they brought us a man of understanding, of the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel; and Sherebiah, with his sons and his brethren, eighteen;

¹⁸因為我們　神施恩的手幫助我們，他們就從以色列的曾孫、利未的孫子、抹利的子孫中帶一個敏悟的人到我們這裡來；還有示利比和他的兒子，以及他們的兄弟，共十八人。

¹⁹And Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah of the sons of Merari, his brethren and their sons, twenty;

¹⁹又有哈沙比雅和與他在一起的米拉利的子孫耶篩亞，以及他的兄弟和他們的兒子共二十人。

²⁰Also of the Nethinims, whom David and the princes had appointed for the service of the Levites, two hundred and twenty Nethinims: all of them were expressed by name.

²⁰還有從前大衛和眾領袖分派去服事利未人的殿役中，帶來了二百二十人，全都是按名呼召的。

²¹Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river of Ahava, that we might afflict ourselves before our God, to seek of him a right way for us, and for our little ones, and for all our substance.

²¹準備回歸“那時，我在亞哈瓦河邊那裡宣告禁食，為要在我們的　神面前謙卑下來，為自己和我們的孩子，以及我們所有的財物尋求　神指示一條暢通的道路。

²²For I was ashamed to require of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way: because we had spoken unto the king, saying, The hand of our God is upon all them for good that seek him; but his power and his wrath is against all them that forsake him.

²²我羞於請求王派遣步兵和馬兵幫助我們抵禦路上的仇敵，因為我們曾告訴王說：‘我們　神的手必幫助所有尋求他的人，賜福給他們，但他的能力和忿怒必攻擊所有離棄他的人。’

²³So we fasted and besought our God for this: and he was intreated of us.

²³所以我們禁食，尋求我們的　神，他就應允我們。

²⁴Then I separated twelve of the chief of the priests, Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brethren with them,

²⁴為聖殿而獻的禮物“我從祭司首領中選派了十二人，以及示利比、哈沙比雅和與他們在一起的十位兄弟，

²⁵And weighed unto them the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, even the offering of the house of our God, which the king, and his counsellors, and his lords, and all Israel there present, had offered:

²⁵把金子、銀子和器皿，就是王和他的謀士、領袖，以及在那裡的以色列眾人獻給我們　神殿的禮物，都稱了交給他們。

²⁶I even weighed unto their hand six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and silver vessels an hundred talents, and of gold an hundred talents;

²⁶我稱了交在他們手中的銀子，有二十二公噸，銀器重三千四百公斤、金子三千四百公斤。

²⁷Also twenty basons of gold, of a thousand drams; and two vessels of fine copper, precious as gold.

²⁷金碗二十個，價值八公斤半；上好而發亮的銅器兩個，像黃金那樣寶貴。

²⁸And I said unto them, Ye are holy unto the LORD; the vessels are holy also; and the silver and the gold are a freewill offering unto the LORD God of your fathers.

²⁸“我對他們說：‘你們是歸耶和華為聖的，器皿也是神聖的，金銀是甘心獻給耶和華你們列祖的　神的禮物。

²⁹Watch ye, and keep them, until ye weigh them before the chief of the priests and the Levites, and chief of the fathers of Israel, at Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of the LORD.

²⁹你們要謹慎看守，直到你們在耶路撒冷耶和華殿的庫房裡，在祭司長和利未人的領袖，以及以色列人的族長面前，過了秤。’

³⁰So took the priests and the Levites the weight of the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, to bring them to Jerusalem unto the house of our God.

³⁰於是祭司和利未人把稱過了的金銀和器皿收下，帶到耶路撒冷我們　神的殿裡。

³¹Then we departed from the river of Ahava on the twelfth day of the first month, to go unto Jerusalem: and the hand of our God was upon us, and he delivered us from the hand of the enemy, and of such as lay in wait by the way.

³¹返抵耶路撒冷“正月十二日，我們從亞哈瓦河啟程，往耶路撒冷去。我們的　神的手保佑我們，拯救我們脫離仇敵和在路上埋伏的人的手。

³²And we came to Jerusalem, and abode there three days.

³²我們到了耶路撒冷，在那裡住了三天；

³³Now on the fourth day was the silver and the gold and the vessels weighed in the house of our God by the hand of Meremoth the son of Uriah the priest; and with him was Eleazar the son of Phinehas; and with them was Jozabad the son of Jeshua, and Noadiah the son of Binnui, Levites;

³³第四天，在我們　神的殿裡，金銀和器皿都過了秤，交在烏利亞祭司的兒子米利末的手中；與他在一起的有非尼哈的兒子以利亞撒；與他們在一起的還有利未人耶書亞的兒子約撒拔和賓內的兒子挪亞底。

³⁴By number and by weight of every one: and all the weight was written at that time.

³⁴一切物品按著數目稱過；同時每件的重量都記錄下來。

³⁵Also the children of those that had been carried away, which were come out of the captivity, offered burnt offerings unto the God of Israel, twelve bullocks for all Israel, ninety and six rams, seventy and seven lambs, twelve he goats for a sin offering: all this was a burnt offering unto the LORD.

³⁵“那時，從被擄歸回的人都向以色列的　神獻燔祭，就是為全以色列獻公牛十二頭、公綿羊九十六隻、綿羊羔七十七隻；又獻公山羊十二隻作贖罪祭；這一切都是獻給耶和華的燔祭。

³⁶And they delivered the king's commissions unto the king's lieutenants, and to the governors on this side the river: and they furthered the people, and the house of God.

³⁶他們把王的命令交給王的總督和河西那邊的省長，他們就幫助民眾和　神殿的需要。”
