성전재건
15 에스라 (Ezra 4~6장)  KJV성경
 
스4:1  성전 건축의 방해 
  
스4:1  사마리아인들의 방해 
라 4:1 When the enemies of Judah and Benjamin heard that the exiles were building a temple for the LORD, the God of Isr ael, 
라 4:2 they came to Zerubbabel and to the heads of the families and said, "Let us help you build because, like you , we seek your God and have been sacrificing to him since the time of Esarhaddon king of Assyria, who brought us here. " 
라 4:3 But Zerubbabel, Jeshua and the rest of the heads of the families of Israel answered, "You have no part with us in building a temple to our God. We alone will build it for the LORD, the God of Israel, as King Cyrus, the king of Persia, commanded us." 
라 4:4 Then the peoples around them set out to discourage the people of Judah and make them afraid to go on building. 
라 4:5 They hired counselors to work against them and frustrate their plans during the entire reign of Cyrus king of Pe rsia and down to the reign of Darius king of Persia. 
라 4:6 At the beginning of the reign of Xerxes, they lodged an accusation against the people of Judah and Jerusalem. 

스4:7  집요한 방해 공작 
라 4:7 And in the days of Artaxerxes king of Persia, Bishlam, Mithredath, Tabeel and the rest of his associates wrote a letter to Artaxerxes. The letter was written in Aramaic script and in the Aramaic language. 
라 4:8 Rehum the commanding officer and Shimshai the secretary wrote a letter against Jerusalem to Artaxerxes the king as follows: 
라 4:9 Rehum the commanding officer and Shimshai the secretary, together with the rest of their associates--the judges and officials over the men from Tripolis, Persia, Erech and Babylon, the Elamites of Susa, 
라 4:10 and the other people whom the great and honorable Ashurbanipal deported and settled in the city of Samaria and elsewhere in Trans-Euphrates. 
라 4:11 (This is a copy of the letter they sent him.) To King Artaxerxes, From your servants, the men of Trans-Euphrate s: 
라 4:12 The king should know that the Jews who came up to us from you have gone to Jerusalem and are rebuilding that re bellious and wicked city. They are restoring the walls and repairing the foundations. 
라 4:13 Furthermore, the king should know that if this city is built and its walls are restored, no more taxes, tribute or duty will be paid, and the royal revenues will suffer. 
라 4:14 Now since we are under obligation to the palace and it is not proper for us to see the king dishonored, we are sending this message to inform the king, 
라 4:15 so that a search may be made in the archives of your predecessors. In these records you will find that this cit y is a rebellious city, troublesome to kings and provinces, a place of rebellion from ancient times. That is why this ci ty was destroyed. 
라 4:16 We inform the king that if this city is built and its walls are restored, you will be left with nothing in Tran s-Euphrates. 

스4:17 아닥사스다의 조서 
라 4:17 The king sent this reply: To Rehum the commanding officer, Shimshai the secretary and the rest of their associa tes living in Samaria and elsewhere in Trans-Euphrates: Greetings. 
라 4:18 The letter you sent us has been read and translated in my presence. 
라 4:19 I issued an order and a search was made, and it was found that this city has a long history of revolt against k ings and has been a place of rebellion and sedition. 
라 4:20 Jerusalem has had powerful kings ruling over the whole of Trans-Euphrates, and taxes, tribute and duty were pai d to them. 
라 4:21 Now issue an order to these men to stop work, so that this city will not be rebuilt until I so order. 
라 4:22 Be careful not to neglect this matter. Why let this threat grow, to the detriment of the royal interests? 
라 4:23 As soon as the copy of the letter of King Artaxerxes was read to Rehum and Shimshai the secretary and their ass ociates, they went immediately to the Jews in Jerusalem and compelled them by force to stop. 
라 4:24 Thus the work on the house of God in Jerusalem came to a standstill until the second year of the reign of Dariu s king of Persia.
 
스5:1  성전 역사가 다시 시작 
라 5:1 Now Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the prophet, a descendant of Iddo, prophesied to the Jews in Judah and Jeru salem in the name of the God of Israel, who was over them. 
라 5:2 Then Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel and Jeshua son of Jozadak set to work to rebuild the house of God in Jerusalem. And the prophets of God were with them, helping them. 
라 5:3 At that time Tattenai, governor of Trans-Euphrates, and Shethar-Bozenai and their associates went to them and as ked, "Who authorized you to rebuild this temple and restore this structure?" 
라 5:4 They also asked, "What are the names of the men constructing this building?" 
라 5:5 But the eye of their God was watching over the elders of the Jews, and they were not stopped until a report coul d go to Darius and his written reply be received. 

스5:6  다리오에게 보낸 총독의 편지 
라 5:6 This is a copy of the letter that Tattenai, governor of Trans-Euphrates, and Shethar-Bozenai and their associate s, the officials of Trans-Euphrates, sent to King Darius. 
라 5:7 The report they sent him read as follows: To King Darius: Cordial greetings. 
라 5:8 The king should know that we went to the district of Judah, to the temple of the great God. The people are build ing it with large stones and placing the timbers in the walls. The work is being carried on with diligence and is making rapid progress under their direction. 
라 5:9 We questioned the elders and asked them, "Who authorized you to rebuild this temple and restore this struct ure?" 
라 5:10 We also asked them their names, so that we could write down the names of their leaders for your information. 
라 5:11 This is the answer they gave us: "We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth, and we are rebuildin g the temple that was built many years ago, one that a great king of Israel built and finished. 
라 5:12 But because our fathers angered the God of heaven, he handed them over to Nebuchadnezzar the Chaldean, king of Babylon, who destroyed this temple and deported the people to Babylon. 
라 5:13 "However, in the first year of Cyrus king of Babylon, King Cyrus issued a decree to rebuild this house of God. 
라 5:14 He even removed from the temple of Babylon the gold and silver articles of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezz ar had taken from the temple in Jerusalem and brought to the temple in Babylon. "Then King Cyrus gave them to a man named Sheshbazzar, whom he had appointed governor, 
라 5:15 and he told him, 'Take these articles and go and deposit them in the temple in Jerusalem. And rebuild the house of God on its site.' 
라 5:16 So this Sheshbazzar came and laid the foundations of the house of God in Jerusalem. From that day to the presen t it has been under construction but is not yet finished." 
라 5:17 Now if it pleases the king, let a search be made in the royal archives of Babylon to see if King Cyrus did in f act issue a decree to rebuild this house of God in Jerusalem. Then let the king send us his decision in this matter.

라 6:1 King Darius then issued an order, and they searched in the archives stored in the treasury at Babylon. 
라 6:2 A scroll was found in the citadel of Ecbatana in the province of Media, and this was written on it: Memorandum: 
라 6:3 In the first year of King Cyrus, the king issued a decree concerning the temple of God in Jerusalem: Let the tem ple be rebuilt as a place to present sacrifices, and let its foundations be laid. It is to be ninety feet high and ninet y feet wide, 
라 6:4 with three courses of large stones and one of timbers. The costs are to be paid by the royal treasury. 
라 6:5 Also, the gold and silver articles of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took from the temple in Jerusalem a nd brought to Babylon, are to be returned to their places in the temple in Jerusalem; they are to be deposited in the ho use of God. 
라 6:6 Now then, Tattenai, governor of Trans-Euphrates, and Shethar-Bozenai and you, their fellow officials of that pro vince, stay away from there. 
라 6:7 Do not interfere with the work on this temple of God. Let the governor of the Jews and the Jewish elders rebuild this house of God on its site. 
라 6:8 Moreover, I hereby decree what you are to do for these elders of the Jews in the construction of this house of G od: The expenses of these men are to be fully paid out of the royal treasury, from the revenues of Trans-Euphrates, so t hat the work will not stop. 
라 6:9 Whatever is needed--young bulls, rams, male lambs for burnt offerings to the God of heaven, and wheat, salt, win e and oil, as requested by the priests in Jerusalem--must be given them daily without fail, 
라 6:10 so that they may offer sacrifices pleasing to the God of heaven and pray for the well-being of the king and his sons. 
라 6:11 Furthermore, I decree that if anyone changes this edict, a beam is to be pulled from his house and he is to be lifted up and impaled on it. And for this crime his house is to be made a pile of rubble. 
라 6:12 May God, who has caused his Name to dwell there, overthrow any king or people who lifts a hand to change this d ecree or to destroy this temple in Jerusalem. I Darius have decreed it. Let it be carried out with diligence. 

스6:13 성전 건축 완공 
라 6:13 Then, because of the decree King Darius had sent, Tattenai, governor of Trans-Euphrates, and Shethar-Bozenai an d their associates carried it out with diligence. 
라 6:14 So the elders of the Jews continued to build and prosper under the preaching of Haggai the prophet and Zecharia h, a descendant of Iddo. They finished building the temple according to the command of the God of Israel and the decrees of Cyrus, Darius and Artaxerxes, kings of Persia. 
라 6:15 The temple was completed on the third day of the month Adar, in the sixth year of the reign of King Darius. 

스6:16 돌아온 사람들의 첫 유월절 
라 6:16 Then the people of Israel--the priests, the Levites and the rest of the exiles--celebrated the dedication of th e house of God with joy. 
라 6:17 For the dedication of this house of God they offered a hundred bulls, two hundred rams, four hundred male lambs and, as a sin offering for all Israel, twelve male goats, one for each of the tribes of Israel. 
라 6:18 And they installed the priests in their divisions and the Levites in their groups for the service of God at Jer usalem, according to what is written in the Book of Moses. 

스6:19 유월절 준수 
라 6:19 On the fourteenth day of the first month, the exiles celebrated the Passover. 
라 6:20 The priests and Levites had purified themselves and were all ceremonially clean. The Levites slaughtered the Pa ssover lamb for all the exiles, for their brothers the priests and for themselves. 
라 6:21 So the Israelites who had returned from the exile ate it, together with all who had separated themselves from t he unclean practices of their Gentile neighbors in order to seek the LORD, the God of Israel. 
라 6:22 For seven days they celebrated with joy the Feast of Unleavened Bread, because the LORD had filled them with jo y by changing the attitude of the king of Assyria, so that he assisted them in the work on the house of God, the God of Israel.
