Ezra 1
1 E higa mokwongo mar loch Sairas ruodh Pasia, mondo ochop singo mar wach Jehova Nyasaye mane Jeremia okoro, Jehova Nyasaye nowuoyo gi chuny Sairas ruodh Pasia mondo ogol lendo e pinye duto koketo e ndiko kama:
In order to fulfill the Lord's prophecy given through Jeremiah, the Lord encouraged Cyrus, king of Persia, to issue a proclamation throughout his kingdom and also to put it in writing, saying,
2 Ma e gima Sairas ruodh Pasia wacho: “‘Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach polo, osemiya pinjeruodhi duto manie piny kendo oseyiera mondo agerne hekalu e Jerusalem manie piny Juda.
“This is what Cyrus king of Persia says: ‘The Lord, the God of heaven, who has given to me all the kingdoms of the earth, has given me the responsibility to build a Temple for him at Jerusalem in Judah.
3 Ngʼato angʼata kuom joge manie dieru, mad Nyasache bed kode, mondo odhi Jerusalem man Juda mi oger hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel, Nyasaye man Jerusalem.
Anyone among you who belongs to his people can go to Jerusalem in Judah to rebuild this Temple of the Lord, the God of Israel, who lives in Jerusalem. May your God be with you.
4 To ji moa kamoro amora ma joma otony nyalo bet ni koro odakie mondo ochiwne fedha gi dhahabu, kod gik miuso gi kweth mag dhok, to gi chiwo mar hera ne hekalu mar Nyasaye e Jerusalem.’”
Wherever survivors are currently living, let them be helped by the people that region with silver, gold, goods, and livestock, together with a voluntary donation for God's Temple in Jerusalem.’”
5 Eka jotend anywola mar Juda kod Benjamin, gi jodolo kod jo-Lawi, ngʼato angʼata ma Nyasaye nomulo chunye, noikore dhi kendo gero od Jehova Nyasaye man Jerusalem.
Then God encouraged the family leaders of Judah and Benjamin, as well as the priests and Levites to go and rebuild the Lord's Temple in Jerusalem.
6 Jobathgi duto noyworogi gi gige fedha kod dhahabu, kod gik miuso gi kweth mag dhok, kod mich ma nengone tek, kaachiel gi chiwo mar hera.
All their neighbors supported them with gifts of silver and gold, with goods and livestock, and with other valuable items, in addition to all their voluntary donations.
7 Kata kamano, Ruoth Sairas nochiwo gigo mane mag hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye, mane Nebukadneza oyudo osegolo Jerusalem mi otero e hekalu mar nyasache.
King Cyrus also retrieved the items belonging to the Lord's Temple that Nebuchadnezzar had taken from Jerusalem and placed in the temple of his god.
8 Sairas ruodh Pasia nowacho ni okelgi gi jakeno, Mithredath, mane okwanogi ne Sheshbaza jatend Juda.
Cyrus had Mithredath the treasurer retrieve them, who counted them and gave them to Sheshbazzar, the leader of Judah.
9 Ma e kwan gik mane ochiw: Dise mag dhahabu piero adek, dise mag fedha alufu achiel, kareche mag fedha piero ariyo gochiko,
This was the list: 30 gold basins, 1,000 silver basins, 29 silver silverware,
10 bakunde mag dhahabu piero adek, bakunde machalre mag fedha mia angʼwen gapar, gik mamoko mitiyogo alufu achiel.
30 gold bowls, 410 matching silver bowls, and 1,000 other items.
11 Gigo duto mane itiyogo mane olosi gi dhahabu kod fedha noromo alufu abich kod mia angʼwen. Sheshbaza nobiro gi gigi duto e kinde mane joma ne otwe noa Babulon kadhi Jerusalem.
In total there were 5,400 gold and silver items. When the exiles left Babylon to go to Jerusalem Sheshbazzar took all these along with them.
