¹古列王下旨建造圣殿

²“Thus says Cyrus king of Persia, ‘Yahweh, the God The Hebrew word rendered “God” is “Elohim.” of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he has commanded me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah.

²“波斯王古列这样说：‘耶和华天上的　神已经把地上万国赐给我。他指派我在犹大的耶路撒冷为他建造殿宇。

³Whoever there is among you of all his people, may his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of Yahweh, the God of Israel (he is God), which is in Jerusalem.

³你们中间凡是他的子民，愿　神与他同在的，都可以上犹大的耶路撒冷去，建造耶和华以色列的　神的殿，他是在耶路撒冷受敬拜的　神。

⁴Whoever is left, in any place where he lives, let the men of his place help him with silver, with gold, with goods, and with animals, besides the freewill offering for God’s house which is in Jerusalem.’”

⁴所有余民，无论寄居在什么地方，那地方的人都要用金、银、财物、牲畜帮助他，也要为在耶路撒冷　神的殿献上甘心的礼物。’”

⁵Then the heads of fathers’ households of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, even all whose spirit God had stirred to go up rose up to build the house of Yahweh which is in Jerusalem.

⁵准备回归于是，犹大和便雅悯的族长、祭司、利未人和所有被　神激动了心灵的人，都起来要上去，重建在耶路撒冷耶和华的殿。

⁶All those who were around them strengthened their hands with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and with animals, and with precious things, besides all that was willingly offered.

⁶他们四围的人都用银器、金子、财物、牲畜和珍贵的礼物协助他们，另外还有各种甘心奉献的礼物。
