Darius Finds Cyrus’ Decree
1於是大流士王降旨,要尋察典籍庫內,就是在巴比倫藏寶物之處;2在米底亞省亞馬他城的宮內尋得一卷,其中記著說:3「塞魯士王元年,他降旨論到耶路撒冷神的殿,要建造這殿為獻祭之處,堅立殿的根基。殿高六十肘,寬六十肘,4用三層大石頭,一層新木頭,經費要出於王庫;5並且神殿的金銀器皿,就是尼布甲尼撒從耶路撒冷的殿中掠到巴比倫的,要歸還帶到耶路撒冷的殿中,各按原處放在神的殿裏。」
1Then King Darius issued a decree, and a search was conducted in the archives, where the treasures were stored in Babylon. 2And in Ecbatana, in the fortress which is in the province of Media, a scroll was found; and the following was written in it: “Memorandum— 3“In the first year of King Cyrus, Cyrus the king issued a decree: ‘Concerning the house of God in Jerusalem, let the temple, the place where sacrifices are offered, be rebuilt, and let its foundations be repaired, its height being sixty cubits and its width sixty cubits, 4with three layers of large stones and one layer of timber. And the cost is to be paid from the royal treasury. 5‘Also the gold and silver utensils of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took from the temple in Jerusalem and brought to Babylon, are to be returned and brought to their places in the temple in Jerusalem; and you shall put them in the house of God.’
6「現在河西的總督達乃和示他‧波斯乃,並你們的同黨,就是住河西的亞法薩迦人,你們當遠離他們。7不要攔阻神殿的工作,任憑猶大人的省長和猶大人的長老在原處建造神的這殿。8我又降旨,吩咐你們向猶大人的長老為建造神的殿當怎樣行,就是從河西的款項中,急速撥取貢銀作他們的經費,免得耽誤工作。9他們與天上的神獻燔祭所需用的公牛犢、公綿羊、綿羊羔,並所用的麥子、鹽、酒、油,都要照耶路撒冷祭司的話,每日供給他們,不得有誤;10好叫他們獻馨香的祭給天上的神,又為王和王眾子的壽命祈禱。11我再降旨,無論誰更改這命令,必從他房屋中拆出一根樑來,把他舉起,懸在其上,又使他的房屋成為糞堆。12若有王和民伸手更改這命令,拆毀這殿,願那使耶路撒冷的殿作為他名居所的神將他們滅絕。我─大流士降這旨意,當速速遵行。」
6“Now as for you, Tattenai, governor of the province beyond the Euphrates River, Shethar-bozenai, and your colleagues, the officials of the provinces beyond the River, stay away from there. 7“Leave that work on the house of God alone; let the governor of the Jews and the elders of the Jews rebuild that house of God on its site. 8“Furthermore, I issue a decree concerning what you are to do for these elders of Judah in the rebuilding of that house of God: the full cost is to be paid to those people from the royal treasury out of the taxes of the provinces beyond the Euphrates River, and that without interruption. 9“And whatever is needed, bulls, rams, and lambs for burnt offerings to the God of heaven, and wheat, salt, wine, and anointing oil, as the priests in Jerusalem order, it is to be given to them daily without fail, 10so that they may offer acceptable sacrifices to the God of heaven and pray for the lives of the king and his sons. 11“And I issued a decree that any person who violates this decree, a timber shall be pulled out of his house and he shall be impaled on it; and his house shall be turned into a refuse heap on account of this. 12“May the God who has caused His name to dwell there overthrow any king or people who attempts to change it, so as to destroy that house of God in Jerusalem. I, Darius, have issued this decree; it is to be carried out with all diligence!”
The Temple Completed and Dedicated
13於是,河西總督達乃和示他‧波斯乃,並他們的同黨,因大流士王所發的命令,就急速遵行。14猶大長老因先知哈該和易多的孫子撒迦利亞所說勸勉的話就建造這殿,凡事亨通。他們遵著以色列神的命令和波斯王塞魯士、大流士、亞達薛西的旨意,建造完畢。15大流士王第六年,亞達月初三日,這殿修成了。
13Then Tattenai, the governor of the province beyond the Euphrates River, Shethar-bozenai, and their colleagues carried out the decree with all diligence, just as King Darius had ordered. 14And the elders of the Jews were successful in building through the prophecy of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. And they finished building following the command of the God of Israel and the decree of Cyrus, Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia. 15Now this temple was completed on the third day of the month Adar; it was the sixth year of the reign of King Darius.
16以色列的祭司和利未人,並其餘被擄歸回的人都歡歡喜喜地行奉獻神殿的禮。17行奉獻神殿的禮就獻公牛一百隻,公綿羊二百隻,綿羊羔四百隻,又照以色列支派的數目獻公山羊十二隻,為以色列眾人作贖罪祭;18且派祭司和利未人按著班次在耶路撒冷事奉神,是照摩西律法書上所寫的。
16And the sons of Israel, the priests, the Levites, and the rest of the exiles, celebrated the dedication of this house of God with joy. 17They offered for the dedication of this temple of God a hundred bulls, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs, and as a sin offering for all Israel twelve male goats, corresponding to the number of the tribes of Israel. 18Then they appointed the priests to their divisions and the Levites in their sections for the service of God in Jerusalem, as it is written in the Book of Moses.
The Passover Held
19正月十四日,被擄歸回的人守逾越節。20原來,祭司和利未人一同自潔,無一人不潔淨。利未人為被擄歸回的眾人和他們的弟兄眾祭司,並為自己宰逾越節的羊羔。21從擄到之地歸回的以色列人和一切除掉所染外邦人污穢、歸附他們、要尋求耶和華─以色列神的人都吃這羊羔,22歡歡喜喜地守除酵節七日;因為耶和華使他們歡喜,又使亞述王的心轉向他們,堅固他們的手,作以色列神殿的工程。
19The exiles held the Passover on the fourteenth of the first month. 20For the priests and the Levites had purified themselves together; all of them were pure. Then they slaughtered the Passover lambs for all the exiles, both for their brothers the priests and for themselves. 21And the sons of Israel who returned from exile and all those who had separated themselves from the impurity of the nations of the land to join them, to seek the LORD God of Israel, ate the Passover. 22And they held the Feast of Unleavened Bread for seven days with joy, because the LORD had made them happy, and had turned the heart of the king of Assyria toward them to encourage them in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.
