Ezra 1
1 Now in the first year of Cyrus, king of Persia, in order that the word of the Lord given by the mouth of Jeremiah might come true, the spirit of Cyrus, king of Persia, was moved by the Lord, so that he made a public statement through all his kingdom, and put it in writing, saying,
El año primero de Ciro, rey de Persia, para que se cumpliese la palabra de Yahvé, pronunciada por boca de Jeremías, Yahvé movió el espíritu de Ciro, rey de Persia, el cual mandó publicar de viva voz, y también por escrito, en todo su reino, el siguiente edicto:
2 These are the words of Cyrus, king of Persia: The Lord God of heaven has given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he has made me responsible for building a house for him in Jerusalem, which is in Judah.
“Así dice Ciro, rey de Persia: Yahvé, el Dios del cielo, me ha dado todos los reinos de la tierra, y me ha encargado de edificarle una Casa en Jerusalén, que está en Judá.
3 Whoever there is among you of his people, may his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and take in hand the building of the house of the Lord, the God of Israel; he is the God who is in Jerusalem.
Todos los de entre vosotros que formen parte del pueblo de Él, sea su Dios con ellos y suban a Jerusalén, que está en Judá, y edifiquen la Casa de Yahvé, el Dios de Israel; el cual es el Dios que está en Jerusalén.
4 And whoever there may be of the rest of Israel, living in any place, let the men of that place give him help with offerings of silver and gold and goods and beasts, in addition to the offering freely given for the house of God in Jerusalem.
Y en todo lugar donde habiten restos (de Judá) han de ser ayudados por los vecinos de su lugar con plata, oro, bienes, ganado y dones preciosos para la Casa de Dios, que está en Jerusalén.”
5 Then the heads of families of Judah and Benjamin, with the priests and the Levites, got ready, even all those whose spirits were moved by God to go up and take in hand the building of the Lord's house in Jerusalem.
Entonces se levantaron los jefes de las casas paternas de Judá y Benjamín, los sacerdotes y los levitas, con todos aquellos cuyo espíritu había movido Dios, y subieron para edificar la Casa de Yahvé, que está en Jerusalén.
6 And all their neighbours gave them help with offerings of vessels of silver and gold and goods and beasts and things of great value, in addition to what was freely offered.
Y todos sus vecinos les ayudaron con objetos de plata y oro, con bienes, ganado y dones preciosos, a más de todos los presentes voluntarios.
7 And Cyrus the king got out the vessels of the house of the Lord which Nebuchadnezzar had taken from Jerusalem and put in the house of his gods;
El rey Ciro hizo sacar los utensilios de la Casa de Yahvé que Nabucodonosor había llevado de Jerusalén y depositado en la casa de su dios.
8 Even these Cyrus made Mithredath, the keeper of his wealth, get out, and he gave them, after numbering them, to Sheshbazzar, the ruler of Judah.
Ciro, rey de Persia, los hizo sacar por mano de Mitridates, tesorero, y después de hacer inventario de ellos los dio a Sesbasar, príncipe de Judá.
9 And this is the number of them: there were thirty gold plates, a thousand silver plates, twenty-nine knives,
He aquí el inventario de ellos: Treinta fuentes de oro, mil fuentes de plata, veinte y nueve cuchillos,
10 Thirty gold basins, four hundred and ten silver basins, and a thousand other vessels.
treinta copas de oro, cuatrocientas diez copas de plata de segundo orden, y mil otros utensilios.
11 There were five thousand, four hundred gold and silver vessels. All these were taken back by Sheshbazzar, when those who had been taken prisoner went up from Babylon to Jerusalem.
Todos los objetos de oro y de plata eran cinco mil cuatrocientos. Sesbasar llevó todo esto consigo cuando los cautivos volvieron de Babilonia a Jerusalén.
