2:1
Regnante Cyro rege Persarum in consummatione verbi Domini in ore Jeremiæ,
波斯王古列元年，為要應驗主藉耶利米口所說的話，主激動波斯王古列的靈，使他在全國通告，並以書面宣告說：
In the first year of Cyrus king of the Persians, that the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremy might be accomplished,
2:2
suscitavit Dominus spiritum Cyri regis Persarum, et prædicavit in toto regno suo simul per scripturam,
「波斯王古列如此說：以色列的主，至高的主，立我作普世的王，並指示我在猶大的耶路撒冷為祂建造殿宇。
the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of the Persians, and he made proclamation through all his kingdom, and also by writing,
2:3
dicens : Hæc dicit Cyrus rex Persarum : Me constituit regem orbi terrarum Dominus Israël, Dominus excelsus,
所以你們中間凡屬祂子民的人，願他的主與他同在；他可上到猶大的耶路撒冷，為以色列的主建造殿宇，這主就是住在耶路撒冷的那位。
saying, Thus says Cyrus king of the Persians; The Lord of Israel, the Most High Lord, has made me king of the whole world,
2:4
et significavit mihi ædificare domum sibi in Jerusalem quæ est in Judæa.
凡散居各處的人，當地的人都要用金銀、馬匹牲畜並其他為主在耶路撒冷的聖殿所許願奉獻的物資來幫助他。」
and commanded me to build him a house at Jerusalem that is in Judea.
2:5
Si quis est ex genere vestro, Dominus ipsius ascendat cum eo in Jerusalem.
於是猶大和便雅憫支派宗族的族長、祭司、利未人，並一切被主激動心靈、要上去為主在耶路撒冷建殿的人，都起來。
If therefore there be any of you that are of his people, let the Lord, even his Lord, be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem that is in Judea, and build the house of the Lord of Israel: he is the Lord that dwells in Jerusalem.
2:6
Quotquot ergo circa loca habitant, adiuvent eos qui sunt in loco ipso, in auro, et argento,
他們四圍的人也都用金銀、馬匹牲畜，並許多人甘心所許的大量願物來幫助他們。
Of such therefore as dwell in various places, let those who are in his own place help each one with gold, and with silver,
2:7
in dationibus cum equis et jumentis, cumque aliis quæ secundum vota apponuntur in ædem Domini, quæ est in Jerusalem.
古列王把主聖殿的器皿取出來，就是尼布甲尼撒從耶路撒冷掠去、安放在自己廟中的，
with gifts, with horses also and cattle, beside the other things which have been added by vow for the temple of the Lord which is in Jerusalem.
2:8
Et stantes principes tribuum pagorum, et Judææ ex tribu Benjamin, et Sacerdotes et Levitæ, quos excitavit Dominus ascendere et ædificare domum Domini quæ est in Jerusalem, et qui erant in circuitu eorum,
波斯王古列把這些器皿交給他的庫官米提利達，再由他交給猶大的省長設巴薩。
Then the chief of the families of Judah and of the tribe of Benjamin stood up; the priests also, and the Levites, and all they whose spirit the Lord had stirred to go up, to build the house for the Lord which is in Jerusalem.
2:9
adiuverunt in omni auro et argento ejus, et jumentis, et votis compluribus multi quorum sensus excitatus est.
這些器皿的數目是：金灑杯一千個，銀灑杯一千個，銀香爐二十九個，
And those who lived round about them helped them in all things with silver and gold, with horses and cattle, and with very many gifts that were vowed of a great number whose minds were stirred up thereto.
2:10
Et Cyrus rex protulit vasa sacra Domini, quæ transtulit Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis ex Jerusalem, et consecravit ea idolo suo,
金碗三十個，銀碗二千四百一十個，其他器皿一千件。
King Cyrus also brought forth the holy vessels of the Lord, which Nabuchodonosor had carried away from Jerusalem, and had set up in his temple of idols.
2:11
et proferens ea Cyrus rex Persarum, tradidit Mithridato, qui erat super thesauros ipsius.
金銀器皿共運送了五千四百六十九件，這些都由設巴薩連同那些從被擄之地回來的人，一同從巴比倫帶回耶路撒冷。
Now when Cyrus king of the Persians had brought them forth, he delivered them to Mithradates his treasurer,
2:12
Per hunc autem tradita sunt Salmanasaro præsidi Judææ.
到了波斯王亞達薛西的時候，比施蘭、米特利達、他別、利宏、比施提米，以及書記伸帥和其他與他們同夥、住在撒馬利亞和別處的人，寫了一封信控告住在猶大和耶路撒冷的人，信文如下：
and by him they were delivered to Sanabassar the governor of Judea.
2:13
Horum autem hic numerus. Libatoria argentea duo millia quadringenta, athiscæ argenteæ triginta : phialæ aureæ triginta, item argenteæ duo millia quadringentæ, et alia vasa mille ;
「上奏亞達薛西王我主：你的僕人利宏——上奏案情者，和書記伸帥，以及其餘在敘利亞和腓尼基作審判官的同僚，
And this was the number of them: A thousand golden cups, a thousand cups of silver, censers of silver twenty nine, vials of gold thirty, and of silver two thousand four hundred and ten, and other vessels a thousand.
2:14
omnia autem vasa aurea et argentea, quinque millia octingenta sexaginta.
如今要奏明我主我王：那些從你那裡上到我們這裡的猶大人，來到耶路撒冷這座叛逆兇惡的城，正在建造市集，修築城牆，並奠立殿基。
So all the vessels of gold and of silver were brought up, even five thousand four hundred threescore and nine,
2:15
Et enumerata sunt Salmanasaro simul cum his qui ex captivitate Babyloniæ venerant in Jerosolymam.
這城若建成，城牆若修完，他們就必不肯納貢，反要抗拒列王。
and were carried back by Sanabassar, together with them of the captivity, from Babylon to Jerusalem.
2:16
In Artaxerxis autem regis Persarum temporibus scripserunt ei de his qui habitabant in Judæa et Jerusalem, Balsamus, et Mithridatus, et Sabellius, et Rathimus, et Balthemus, Samelius scriba, et reliqui habitantes in Samaria, et ceteris locis subjectam epistolam regi Artaxerxi.
既然聖殿的工程正在進行，我們認為不可坐視此事，理當奏明我主我王，請你查考你列祖的典籍。
But in the time of Artaxerxes king of the Persians Belemus, and Mithradates, and Tabellius, and Rathumus, and Beeltethmus, and Samellius the scribe, with the others that were in commission with them, dwelling in Samaria and other places, wrote to him against those who lived in Judea and Jerusalem the letter following:
2:17
Domine, pueri tui Rathimus ab accidentibus, et Sabellius scriba, et reliqui curiæ tuæ judices in Cœlesyria et Phœnice.
你必在記錄中查出有關這些事的記載，便知道那城向來是叛逆的，常擾害列王和各城；其中的猶大人也是叛逆的，自古便在城中策動圍攻反叛，這城也因此緣故被毀為荒場。
To king Artaxerxes our Lord, Your servants, Rathumus the storywriter, and Samellius the scribe, and the rest of their council, and the judges that are in Coelesyria and Phoenicia.
2:18
Et nunc notum sit domino regi, quoniam Judæi qui ascenderunt a vobis ad nos, venientes in Jerusalem civitatem refugam et pessimam, ædificant furnos ejus, et statuunt muros, et templum suscitant.
如今我們奏明我主我王：這城若建成，城牆若再立起，你就再無路徑下到敘利亞和腓尼基去了。」
Be it now known to our lord the king, that the Jews that are come up from you to us, being come to Jerusalem, do build that rebellious and wicked city, and do repair the marketplaces and the walls of it, and do lay the foundation of a temple.
2:19
Quod si civitas ista, et muri consummati fuerint, non tantum tributa non sustinebunt pendere, sed etiam regibus resistent.
於是王回信給上奏案情的利宏、比施提米、書記伸帥，以及其餘住在撒馬利亞、敘利亞和腓尼基的同僚，信文如下：
Now if this city be built and the walls thereof be finished, they will not only refuse to give tribute, but will even stand up against kings.
2:20
Et quia id agitur circa templum, recte haberi arbitrati sumus non despicere hoc ipsum :
「你們所寄給我的信，我已讀過。
And forasmuch as the things pertaining to the temple are now in hand, we think it meet not to neglect such a matter,
2:21
sed notum facere domino regi, ut si videbitur, rex, quæratur in libris patrum tuorum,
我便下令查考，查出那城自古以來確是抗拒列王的，城中的人常策動叛亂和爭戰，
but to speak to our lord the king, to the intent that, if it be your pleasure, search may be made in the books of your fathers:
2:22
et invenies in admonitionibus scripta de his, et scies quoniam civitas ista fuit refuga, et reges, et civitates concutiens,
又有強盛兇悍的王曾在耶路撒冷掌權，統治並向敘利亞和腓尼基徵收貢稅。
and you shall find in the chronicles what is written concerning these things, and shall understand that that city was rebellious, troubling both kings and cities:
2:23
et Judæi refugæ, et prælia committentes in ea ab æterno, ob quam causam civitas ista deserta est.
如今我已下令禁止那些人建造這城，
and that the Jews were rebellious, and raised always wars therein of old time; for the which cause even this city was laid waste.
2:24
Nunc ergo notum facimus, domine rex, quoniam si civitas hæc ædificata fuerit, et hujus muri erecti fuerint, descensus tibi non erit in Cœlesyriam, et Phœnicen.
並要謹防此事，不容惡事再行擴大，以致擾害列王。」
Wherefore now we do declare to you, O lord the king, that if this city be built again, and the walls thereof set up anew, you shall from henceforth have no passage into Coelesyria and Phoenicia.
2:25
Tunc scripsit rex Rathimo, qui scribebat accidentia, et Balthemo, et Sabellio scribæ, et ceteris constitutis, et habitantibus in Syria et Phœnice, ea quæ subjecta sunt.
亞達薛西王所寫的文書宣讀之後，利宏、書記伸帥和他們的同僚便急忙起程，帶著馬隊和大批人馬到耶路撒冷去，開始阻止那些建造的人。
Then the king wrote back again to Rathumus the storywriter, and Beeltethmus, and Samellius the scribe, and to the rest that were in commission, and lived in Samaria and Syria and Phoenicia, after this manner:
2:26
Legi epistolam quam misistis mihi. Præcepi ergo inquiri, et inventum est, quoniam civitas illa est ab ævo regibus resistens,
於是耶路撒冷聖殿的工程便停頓了，直到波斯王大流士在位第二年。
I have read the epistle which you⌃ have sent to me: therefore I commanded to make search, and it has been found that that city of old time has made insurrection against kings;
2:27
et homines refugæ et prælia in ea efficientes, et reges fortissimi erant in Jerusalem dominantes, et tributa exigentes a Cœlesyria, et Phœnice.
那城中常有叛逆之人策動爭戰，又有極強盛的王曾在耶路撒冷掌權，統治並向敘利亞和腓尼基徵收貢稅。
and the men were given to rebellion and war therein: and that mighty kings and fierce were in Jerusalem, who reigned and exacted tribute in Coelesyria and Phoenicia.
2:28
Nunc ergo præcepi prohibere homines illos ædificare civitatem, et prohibere ne quid ultra hæc fiant :
如今我已下令禁止那些人建造這城，並禁止他們再行此事，
Now therefore I have commanded to hinder those men from building the city, and heed to be taken that there be nothing done contrary to this order;
2:29
sed nec procedant in plurimum, ex quo sunt malitiæ, ita ut regibus molestia importetur.
也不容那惡事再行擴大，以致擾害列王。
and that those wicked doings proceed no further to the annoyance of kings.
2:30
Tunc recitatis his quæ a rege Artaxerxe scripta fuerant, Rathimus, et Sabellius scriba, et qui cum his constituti erant jungentes festinanter venerunt in Jerusalem cum equitatu, et turba, et agmine :
亞達薛西王所寫的文書宣讀之後，利宏、書記薩貝利烏，以及與他們同列的人便急忙起程，帶著馬隊、羣眾和軍隊來到耶路撒冷。
Then king Artaxerxes his letters being read, Rathumus, and Samellius the scribe, and the rest that were in commission with them, removing in haste to Jerusalem with horsemen and a multitude of people in battle array, began to hinder the builders; and the building of the temple in Jerusalem ceased until the second year of the reign of Darius king of the Persians.
