< 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:
Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that Yahweh’s word by Jeremiah’s mouth might be accomplished, Yahweh 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 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.
“Cyrus king of Persia says, ‘Yahweh, 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 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.
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 Yahweh, the God of Israel (he is God), which is in Jerusalem.
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.’”
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, in addition to the free will offering for God’s house which is 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 the heads of fathers’ households of Judah and Benjamin, the priests and the Levites, all whose spirit God had stirred to go up, rose up to build Yahweh’s house which is 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 those who were around them strengthened their hands with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, with animals, and with precious things, in addition to all that was willingly offered.
7 Kata kamano, Ruoth Sairas nochiwo gigo mane mag hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye, mane Nebukadneza oyudo osegolo Jerusalem mi otero e hekalu mar nyasache.
Also Cyrus the king brought out the vessels of Yahweh’s house, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought out of Jerusalem, and had put in the house of his gods;
8 Sairas ruodh Pasia nowacho ni okelgi gi jakeno, Mithredath, mane okwanogi ne Sheshbaza jatend Juda.
even those, Cyrus king of Persia brought out by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and counted them out to Sheshbazzar the prince 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 is the number of them: thirty platters of gold, one thousand platters of silver, twenty-nine knives,
10 bakunde mag dhahabu piero adek, bakunde machalre mag fedha mia angʼwen gapar, gik mamoko mitiyogo alufu achiel.
thirty bowls of gold, four hundred ten silver bowls of a second kind, and one thousand other vessels.
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.
All the vessels of gold and of silver were five thousand four hundred. Sheshbazzar brought all these up when the captives were brought up from Babylon to Jerusalem.
