Ezra 1
1 Og i Perserkongen Kyros's første Regeringsår vakte HERREN, for at hans Ord gennem Jeremias's Mund kunde opfyldes, Perserkongen Kyros's Ånd, så han lod følgende udråbe i hele sit Rige og desuden kundgøre ved en Skrivelse:
Now in the first year of Koresh king of Persia, that the word of Jehovah by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, Jehovah stirred up the spirit of Koresh 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 pålagt mig at bygge ham et Hus i Jerusalem i Juda.
"Thus says Koresh king of Persia, 'Jehovah, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he has commanded 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, may 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.
Whoever is left, in any place where he lives, let the men of his place help him with silver, with gold, with goods, and with animals, besides the freewill offering for God's house which is in Jerusalem.'"
5 Da brød Overhovederne for Judas og Benjamins Fædrenehuse og Præsterne og Leviterne op, alle, hvis Ånd Gud vakte, så de drog op for at bygge HERRENs Hus i Jerusalem;
Then the heads of ancestral houses of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, even all whose spirit God had stirred to go up rose 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, både Sølv, Guld, Heste og Kvæg og Kostbarheder i Mængde.
All those who were around them strengthened their hands with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and with animals, and with precious things, besides all that was willingly offered.
7 Og Kong Kyros udleverede Karrene fra HERRENs Hus, som Nebudkadnezar havde ført bort fra Jerusalem og ladet opstille i sin Guds Hus;
Also Koresh the king brought forth the vessels of the house of Jehovah, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought 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, Koresh king of Persia brought out by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and numbered them to Sheshbazzar, the prince of Judah.
9 Og Tallet på dem var følgende: 30 Guldbækkener, 1000 Sølvbakker, 29 Røgelsesskåle,
This is the number of them: thirty platters of gold, one thousand platters of silver, twenty-nine knives,
10 30 Guldbægre, 410 Sølvbægre af ringere Art og 1000 andre Kar,
thirty bowls of gold, silver bowls of a second sort four hundred and ten, and other vessels one thousand.
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. Sheshbazzar brought all these up, when the captives were brought up from Babylon to Jerusalem.
