عَزْرا 1
| فِي السَّنَةِ الأُولَى لِحُكْمِ كُورَشَ مَلِكِ فَارِسَ، وَإِتْمَاماً لِكَلامِ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي نَطَقَ بِهِ عَلَى لِسَانِ إِرْمِيَا، نَبَّهَ الرَّبُّ رُوحَ كُورَشَ فَأَصْدَرَ نِدَاءً مَكْتُوباً فِي كُلِّ أَرْجَاءِ مَمْلَكَتِهِ وَرَدَ فِيهِ: | ١ 1 |
In the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, to fulfill the word of the LORD spoken through Jeremiah, the LORD stirred the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia to send a proclamation throughout his kingdom and to put it in writing as follows:
| «هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ كُورَشُ مَلِكُ فَارِسَ: لَقَدْ وَهَبَنِي الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ السَّمَاءِ جَمِيعَ مَمَالِكِ الأَرْضِ، وَأَوْصَانِي أَنْ أُشَيِّدَ لَهُ هَيْكَلاً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ فِي مَمْلَكَةِ يَهُوذَا، | ٢ 2 |
“This is what Cyrus king of Persia says: ‘The LORD, the God of heaven, who has given me all the kingdoms of the earth, has appointed me to build a house for Him at Jerusalem in Judah.
| فَعَلَى كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ شَعْبِهِ، لِيَكُنِ الرَّبُّ مَعَهُ، أَنْ يَصْعَدَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ فِي أَرْضِ يَهُوذَا فَيَبْنِيَ هَيْكَلَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. إِنَّه اللهُ الَّذِي فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ٣ 3 |
Whoever among you belongs to His people, may his God be with him, and may he go to Jerusalem in Judah and build the house of the LORD, the God of Israel; He is the God who is in Jerusalem.
| وَعَلَى أَهْلِ الْمَوَاضِعِ الَّتِي يُقِيمُ فِيهَا الآنَ الْمَسْبِيُّونَ الْمُتَغَرِّبُونَ أَنْ يَمُدُّوهُمْ بِالذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ وَالدَّوَابِ، فَضْلاً عَمَّا يَتَبَرَّعُونَ بِهِ لِبِنَاءِ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ». | ٤ 4 |
And let every survivor, wherever he lives, be assisted by the men of that region with silver, gold, goods, and livestock, along with a freewill offering for the house of God in Jerusalem.’”
| فَهَبَّ رُؤَسَاءُ بُيُوتِ يَهُوذَا وَبَنْيَامِينَ، وَالْكَهَنَةُ وَاللّاوِيُّونَ، كُلُّ مَنْ نَبَّهَ الرَّبُّ قَلْبَهُ لِيَرْجِعَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ لِبِنَاءِ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ هُنَاكَ. | ٥ 5 |
So the family heads of Judah and Benjamin, along with the priests and Levites—everyone whose spirit God had stirred—prepared to go up and rebuild the house of the LORD in Jerusalem.
| وَأَمَدَّهُمْ جِيرَانُهُمْ بِآنِيَةِ فِضَّةٍ وَذَهَبٍ وَبِأَمْتِعَةٍ وَبَهَائِمَ وَتُحَفٍ، فَضْلاً عَمَّا تَبَرَّعُوا بِهِ. | ٦ 6 |
And all their neighbors supported them with articles of silver and gold, with goods and livestock, and with valuables, in addition to all their freewill offerings.
| وَأَخْرَجَ الْمَلِكُ كُورَشُ آنِيَةَ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ الَّتِي كَانَ الْمَلِكُ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ قَدْ غَنِمَهَا مِنْ هَيْكَلِ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَوَضَعَهَا فِي مَعْبَدِ آلِهَتِهِ. | ٧ 7 |
King Cyrus also brought out the articles belonging to the house of the LORD that Nebuchadnezzar had carried away from Jerusalem and placed in the temple of his gods.
| وَأَمَرَ مِثْرَدَاثَ الْخَازِنَ أَنْ يَعُدَّهَا لِشِيشْبَصَّرَ رَئِيسِ يَهُوذَا، | ٨ 8 |
Cyrus king of Persia had them brought out by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, who counted them out to Sheshbazzar the prince of Judah.
| فَكَانَتْ فِي جُمْلَتِهَا ثَلاثِينَ طَسْتاً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، وَأَلْفَ طَسْتٍ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ، وَتِسْعَةً وَعِشْرِينَ سِكِّيناً | ٩ 9 |
This was the inventory: 30 gold dishes, 1,000 silver dishes, 29 silver utensils,
| وَثَلاثِينَ قَدَحاً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، وَأَرْبَعَ مِئَةٍ وَعَشْرَةً مِنَ الأَقْدَاحِ الْفِضِّيَّةِ، وَأَلْفاً مِنَ الآنِيَةِ الأُخْرَى. | ١٠ 10 |
30 gold bowls, 410 matching silver bowls, and 1,000 other articles.
| فَكَانَ مَجْمُوعُ آنِيَةِ الذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ خَمْسَةَ آلافٍ وَأَرْبَعَ مِئَةٍ، حَمَلَهَا شِيشْبَصَّرُ كُلَّهَا مَعَهُ عِنْدَ إِطْلاقِ سَرَاحِ الْمَسْبِيِّينَ مِنْ بَابِلَ وَرُجُوعِهِمْ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ١١ 11 |
In all, there were 5,400 gold and silver articles. Sheshbazzar brought all these along when the exiles went up from Babylon to Jerusalem.
