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 Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of YHWH by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, YHWH stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, 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 saith Cyrus king of Persia, YHWH Elohim of heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he hath charged me to build him an house at 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;
Who is there among you of all his people? his Elohim be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of YHWH Elohim of Israel, (he is the Elohim, ) 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 whosoever remaineth in any place where he sojourneth, let the men of his place help him with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts, beside the freewill offering for the house of Elohim that 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 rose up the chief of the fathers of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, with all them whose spirit Elohim had raised, to go up to build the house of YHWH 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.
And all they that were about them strengthened their hands with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and with beasts, and with precious things, beside 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 Cyrus the king brought forth the vessels of the house of YHWH, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought forth out of Jerusalem, and had put them in the house of his master;
8 dem gav Perserkongen Kyros ny til Skatmesteren Mitredat, og han talte dem og overgav dem til Sjesjbazzar, Judas Fyrste.
Even those did Cyrus king of Persia bring forth by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and numbered them unto Sheshbazzar, the prince of Judah.
9 Og Tallet på dem var følgende: 30 Guldbækkener, 1000 Sølvbakker, 29 Røgelsesskåle,
And this is the number of them: thirty chargers of gold, a thousand chargers of silver, nine and twenty knives,
10 30 Guldbægre, 410 Sølvbægre af ringere Art og 1000 andre Kar,
Thirty basons of gold, silver basons of a second sort four hundred and ten, and other vessels a 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. All these did Sheshbazzar bring up with them of the captivity that were brought up from Babylon unto Jerusalem.
