以斯拉记1：1～11
塞鲁士下令犹太人返国
1 波斯王塞鲁士元年，耶/和/华为要应验藉耶利米口所说的话，就激动波斯王塞鲁士的心，使他下诏通告全国说：
2「波斯王塞鲁士如此说：『耶/和/华天上的 SHEN 已将天下万国赐给我，又嘱咐我在犹大的耶路撒冷为他建造殿宇。

2「波斯王塞鲁士如此说：『耶/和/华天上的 SHEN 已将天下万国赐给我，又嘱咐我在犹大的耶路撒冷为他建造殿宇。
3 在你们中间凡作他子民的，可以上犹大的耶路撒冷，在耶路撒冷重建耶/和/华－以色列 SHEN 的殿（只有他是 SHEN ）。愿 SHEN 与这人同在。
4 凡剩下的人，无论寄居何处，那地的人要用金银、财物、牲畜帮助他，另外也要为耶路撒冷 SHEN 的殿甘心献上礼物。』」
5 于是，犹大和便雅悯的族长、祭司、利未人，就是一切被 SHEN 激动他心的人，都起来要上耶路撒冷去建造耶/和/华的殿。
5 于是，犹大和便雅悯的族长、祭司、利未人，就是一切被 SHEN 激动他心的人，都起来要上耶路撒冷去建造耶/和/华的殿。
6 他们四围的人就拿银器、金子、财物、牲畜、珍宝帮助他们，另外还有甘心献的礼物。
7 塞鲁士王也将耶/和/华殿的器皿拿出来，这器皿是尼布甲尼撒从耶路撒冷掠来、放在自己 SHEN 之庙中的。
8 波斯王塞鲁士派库官米提利达将这器皿拿出来，按数交给犹大的首领设巴萨。
9 器皿的数目记在下面：金盘三十个，银盘一千个，刀二十九把，
10 金碗三十个，银碗之次的四百一十个，别样的器皿一千件。
11 金银器皿共有五千四百件。被掳的人从巴比伦上耶路撒冷的时候，设巴萨将这一切都带上来。
Cyrus Helps the Exiles to Return
1 In the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, in order to fulfill the word of the Lord spoken by Jeremiah, the Lord moved the heart of Cyrus king of Persia to make a proclamation throughout his realm and also to put it in writing:
2 “This is what Cyrus king of Persia says:“ ‘The Lord, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth and he has appointed me to build a temple for him at Jerusalem in Judah. 3 Any of his people among you may go up to Jerusalem in Judah and build the temple of the Lord, the God of Israel, the God who is in Jerusalem, and may their God be with them.

4 And in any locality where survivors may now be living, the people are to provide them with silver and gold, with goods and livestock, and with freewill offerings for the temple of God in Jerusalem.’ ”
5 Then the family heads of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests and Levites—everyone whose heart God had moved—prepared to go up and build the house of the Lord in Jerusalem.
