< Ezra 1 >
1 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,
Para que se cumpliera la profecía del Señor dada a través de Jeremías, el Señor animó a Ciro, rey de Persia, a emitir una proclama en todo su reino y también a ponerla por escrito, diciendo:
2 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.
“Esto es lo que dice Ciro, rey de Persia: ‘El Señor, el Dios de los cielos, que me ha dado todos los reinos de la tierra, me ha dado la responsabilidad de construirle un Templo en Jerusalén, en Judá.
3 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.
Cualquiera de ustedes que pertenezca a su pueblo puede ir a Jerusalén, en Judá, para reconstruir este Templo del Señor, el Dios de Israel, que vive en Jerusalén. Que su Dios esté con ustedes.
4 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.
Donde quiera que los sobrevivientes vivan actualmente, que sean ayudados por la gente de esa región con plata, oro, bienes y ganado, junto con una donación voluntaria para el Templo de Dios en Jerusalén’”.
5 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.
Entonces Dios animó a los jefes de familia de Judá y Benjamín, así como a los sacerdotes y a los levitas, a ir y reconstruir el Templo del Señor en Jerusalén.
6 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.
Todos sus vecinos les apoyaron con regalos de plata y oro, con bienes y ganado, y con otros objetos de valor, además de todas sus donaciones voluntarias.
7 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,
El rey Ciro también recuperó los objetos pertenecientes al Templo del Señor que Nabucodonosor había tomado de Jerusalén y colocado en el templo de su dios.
8 even those Cyrus king of Persia brought forth by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and numbered them to Sheshbazzar, the ruler of Judah.
Ciro hizo que Mitrídates, el tesorero, los recuperara, los contara y se los diera a Sesbasar, que era el líder de Judá.
9 And this is the number of them: thirty platters of gold, a thousand platters of silver, twenty-nine knives,
Esta era la lista: 30 cuencas de oro, 1.000 cuencas de plata, 29 cubiertos de plata,
10 thirty bowls of gold, four hundred and ten silver bowls of a second sort, and a thousand other vessels.
30 cuencos de oro, 410 cuencos de plata a juego y otros 1.000 artículos.
11 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.
En total había 5.400 objetos de oro y plata. Cuando los exiliados salieron de Babilonia para ir a Jerusalén Sesbasar se llevó todo esto con ellos.
