Ezra 1
1 Men i Kyrus's, Kongen af Persiens, første Aar, da Herrens Ord, som var talt ved Jeremias's Mund, var fuldkommet, opvakte Herren Kyrus's, Kongen af Persiens, Aand, at han lod udraabe over sit ganske Rige og kundgøre ved Skrift og sige:
And in the first year of Cyrus the king of Persia, at the time the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah was accomplished, the Lord awakened the spirit of Cyrus the king of Persia; and he caused a proclamation to be made throughout all his kingdom, and also by means of writing, saying,
2 Saa siger Kyrus, Kongen i Persien: Herren, Himmelens Gud, har givet mig alle Riger paa Jorden, og han har befalet mig at bygge sig et Hus i Jerusalem, som er i Juda.
Thus hath said Cyrus the king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth hath the Lord the God of heaven given unto me; and he hath directed me to build for him a house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah.
3 Hvo der maatte være iblandt eder af alle hans Folk, med ham være Herren, hans Gud, og han drage op til Jerusalem, som er i Juda, og han bygge Herren Israels Guds Hus; han er den Gud, som er i Jerusalem.
Whoever among you that is of all his people, may his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of the Lord the God of Israel, he is the God who is in Jerusalem.
4 Og hver, som er bleven tilovers, skulle fra alle Steder, hvor han er fremmed, hans Steds Folk understøtte med Sølv og med Guld og med Gods og med Kvæg, med en frivillig Gave til Guds Hus, som er i Jerusalem.
And whosoever remaineth out of any place where he hath sojourned, him shall the men of his place assist with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts, beside the freewill offering for the house of God which is in Jerusalem.
5 Da gjorde Øversterne for Fædrenehusene i Juda og Benjamin tillige med Præsterne og Leviterne sig rede, ja alle, hvis Aand Gud opvakte, til at drage op for at bygge Herrens Hus, som er i Jerusalem.
Then rose up the chiefs of the divisions of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, with all those whose spirit God had awakened, to go up to build the house of the Lord which is in Jerusalem.
6 Og alle trindt omkring dem understøttede dem med Sølvkar, med Guld, med Gods og med Kvæg og med kostbare Skænk foruden alt det, som de gave frivilligt.
And all those that were round about them supplied them with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and with beasts, and with precious things, beside all that was willingly offered.
7 Og Kong Kyrus lod Herrens Hus's Kar, hvilke Nebukadnezar havde udført af Jerusalem og sat i sin Guds Hus, føre ud.
Also king Cyrus brought forth the vessels of the house of the Lord, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought away out of Jerusalem, and had placed in the house of his god:
8 Men Kyrus, Kongen i Persien, førte dem ud ved Mithridates's, Skatmesterens Haand, og han talte Sesbazar, Judas Fyrste, dem til.
Even these did Cyrus the king of Persia bring forth through the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and counted them out unto Sheshbazzar the prince for Judah.
9 Og dette er Tallet paa dem: Tredive Guldbækkener, tusinde Sølvbækkener, ni og tyve Offerknive,
And this is their number: Thirty chargers of gold, a thousand chargers of silver, nine and twenty knives,
10 tredive Guldbægere, fire Hundrede og ti andre Sølvbægere, tusinde andre Kar.
Thirty cups of gold, silver cups of a second degree four hundred and ten, other vessels a thousand.
11 Alle Kar af Guld og Sølv vare fem Tusinde og fire Hundrede; alt dette førte Sesbazar op, da de bortførte droge op fra Babel til Jerusalem.
All the vessels of gold and of silver were five thousand and four hundred. All these did Sheshbazzar bring up with the exiles that were brought up from Babylon unto Jerusalem.
