Ezra 1
1 Og i Perserkongen Kyros's første Regeringsaar vakte HERREN, for at hans Ord gennem Jeremias's Mund kunde opfyldes, Perserkongen Kyros's Aand, saa han lod følgende udraabe i hele sit Rige og desuden kundgøre ved en Skrivelse:
Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of Jehovah by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, Jehovah stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,
2 Perserkongen, Kyros gør vitterligt: Alle Jordens Riger har HERREN, Himmelens Gud, givet mig; og han har paalagt mig at bygge ham et Hus i Jerusalem i Juda.
Thus says Cyrus king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth has Jehovah, the God of heaven, given me, and he has charged me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah.
3 Hvem iblandt eder, der hører til hans Folk, med ham være hans Gud, og han drage op til Jerusalem i Juda og bygge HERRENS, Israels Guds, Hus; han er den Gud, som bor i Jerusalem;
Whoever there is among you of all his people, his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of Jehovah, the God of Israel (he is God), which is in Jerusalem.
4 og alle Steder, hvor de tiloversblevne bor som fremmede, skal Beboerne støtte dem med Sølv, Guld, Heste og Kvæg, bortset fra de frivillige Gaver til Guds Hus i Jerusalem.
And whoever is left, in any place where he sojourns, let the men of his place help him with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts, besides the freewill offering for the house of God which is in Jerusalem.
5 Da brød Overhovederne for Judas og Benjamins Fædrenehuse og Præsterne og Leviterne op, alle, hvis Aand Gud vakte, saa de drog op for at bygge HERRENS Hus i Jerusalem;
Then the heads of fathers of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, even all whose spirit God had stirred, rose up to go up to build the house of Jehovah which is in Jerusalem.
6 og bortset fra alle de frivillige Gaver kom alle deres Naboer dem til Hjælp med alt, baade Sølv, Guld, Heste og Kvæg og Kostbarheder i Mængde.
And all those who were round about them strengthened their hands with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and with beasts, and with precious things, besides all that was willingly offered.
7 Og Kong Kyros udleverede Karrene fra HERRENS Hus, som Nebukadnezar havde ført bort fra Jerusalem og ladet opstille i sin Guds Hus;
Also Cyrus the king brought forth the vessels of the house of Jehovah, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought forth out of Jerusalem, and had put in the house of his gods,
8 dem gav Perserkongen Kyros ny til Skatmesteren Mitredat, og han talte dem og overgav dem til Sjesjbazzar, Judas Fyrste.
even those Cyrus king of Persia brought forth by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and numbered them to Sheshbazzar, the ruler of Judah.
9 Og Tallet paa dem var følgende: 30 Guldbækkener, 1000 Sølvbakker, 29 Røgelseskaale,
And this is the number of them: thirty platters of gold, a thousand platters of silver, twenty-nine knives,
10 30 Guldbægre, 410 Sølvbægre af ringere Art og 1000 andre Kar,
thirty bowls of gold, four hundred and ten silver bowls of a second sort, and a thousand other vessels.
11 i alt 5400 Kar, dels af Guld og dels af Sølv. Alt dette bragte Sjesjbazzar med sig, da de landflygtige drog op fra Babel til Jerusalem.
All the vessels of gold and of silver were five thousand and four hundred. All these Sheshbazzar brought up when those of the captivity were brought up from Babylon to Jerusalem.
