< Ezra 1 >

1 Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the LORD’s word by Jeremiah’s mouth might be accomplished, the LORD 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,
فِي السَّنَةِ الأُولَى لِحُكْمِ كُورَشَ مَلِكِ فَارِسَ، وَإِتْمَاماً لِكَلامِ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي نَطَقَ بِهِ عَلَى لِسَانِ إِرْمِيَا، نَبَّهَ الرَّبُّ رُوحَ كُورَشَ فَأَصْدَرَ نِدَاءً مَكْتُوباً فِي كُلِّ أَرْجَاءِ مَمْلَكَتِهِ وَرَدَ فِيهِ:١
2 “Cyrus king of Persia says, ‘The LORD, 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.
«هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ كُورَشُ مَلِكُ فَارِسَ: لَقَدْ وَهَبَنِي الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ السَّمَاءِ جَمِيعَ مَمَالِكِ الأَرْضِ، وَأَوْصَانِي أَنْ أُشَيِّدَ لَهُ هَيْكَلاً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ فِي مَمْلَكَةِ يَهُوذَا،٢
3 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 the LORD, the God of Israel (he is God), which is in Jerusalem.
فَعَلَى كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ شَعْبِهِ، لِيَكُنِ الرَّبُّ مَعَهُ، أَنْ يَصْعَدَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ فِي أَرْضِ يَهُوذَا فَيَبْنِيَ هَيْكَلَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. إِنَّه اللهُ الَّذِي فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ.٣
4 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.’”
وَعَلَى أَهْلِ الْمَوَاضِعِ الَّتِي يُقِيمُ فِيهَا الآنَ الْمَسْبِيُّونَ الْمُتَغَرِّبُونَ أَنْ يَمُدُّوهُمْ بِالذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ وَالدَّوَابِ، فَضْلاً عَمَّا يَتَبَرَّعُونَ بِهِ لِبِنَاءِ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ».٤
5 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 the LORD’s house which is in Jerusalem.
فَهَبَّ رُؤَسَاءُ بُيُوتِ يَهُوذَا وَبَنْيَامِينَ، وَالْكَهَنَةُ وَاللّاوِيُّونَ، كُلُّ مَنْ نَبَّهَ الرَّبُّ قَلْبَهُ لِيَرْجِعَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ لِبِنَاءِ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ هُنَاكَ.٥
6 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.
وَأَمَدَّهُمْ جِيرَانُهُمْ بِآنِيَةِ فِضَّةٍ وَذَهَبٍ وَبِأَمْتِعَةٍ وَبَهَائِمَ وَتُحَفٍ، فَضْلاً عَمَّا تَبَرَّعُوا بِهِ.٦
7 Also Cyrus the king brought out the vessels of the LORD’s house, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought out of Jerusalem, and had put in the house of his gods;
وَأَخْرَجَ الْمَلِكُ كُورَشُ آنِيَةَ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ الَّتِي كَانَ الْمَلِكُ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ قَدْ غَنِمَهَا مِنْ هَيْكَلِ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَوَضَعَهَا فِي مَعْبَدِ آلِهَتِهِ.٧
8 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.
وَأَمَرَ مِثْرَدَاثَ الْخَازِنَ أَنْ يَعُدَّهَا لِشِيشْبَصَّرَ رَئِيسِ يَهُوذَا،٨
9 This is the number of them: thirty platters of gold, one thousand platters of silver, twenty-nine knives,
فَكَانَتْ فِي جُمْلَتِهَا ثَلاثِينَ طَسْتاً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، وَأَلْفَ طَسْتٍ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ، وَتِسْعَةً وَعِشْرِينَ سِكِّيناً٩
10 thirty bowls of gold, four hundred ten silver bowls of a second kind, and one thousand other vessels.
وَثَلاثِينَ قَدَحاً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، وَأَرْبَعَ مِئَةٍ وَعَشْرَةً مِنَ الأَقْدَاحِ الْفِضِّيَّةِ، وَأَلْفاً مِنَ الآنِيَةِ الأُخْرَى.١٠
11 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.
فَكَانَ مَجْمُوعُ آنِيَةِ الذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ خَمْسَةَ آلافٍ وَأَرْبَعَ مِئَةٍ، حَمَلَهَا شِيشْبَصَّرُ كُلَّهَا مَعَهُ عِنْدَ إِطْلاقِ سَرَاحِ الْمَسْبِيِّينَ مِنْ بَابِلَ وَرُجُوعِهِمْ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ.١١
