< Ezra 1 >

1 In the first year of Cyrus, king of the Persians, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus, king of the Persians, so that the word of the Lord from the mouth of Jeremiah would be fulfilled. And he sent out a voice, throughout his entire kingdom, and also in writing, saying:
In anno primo Cyri regis Persarum ut compleretur verbum Domini ex ore Ieremiae, suscitavit Dominus spiritum Cyri regis Persarum: et traduxit vocem in omni regno suo, etiam per scripturam, dicens:
2 “Thus says Cyrus, the king of the Persians: The Lord, the God of heaven, has given all the kingdoms of the earth to me, and he himself has instructed me that I should build a house for him in Jerusalem, which is in Judea.
Haec dicit Cyrus rex Persarum: Omnia regna terrae dedit mihi Dominus Deus caeli, et ipse praecepit mihi ut aedificarem ei domum in Ierusalem, quae est in Iudaea.
3 Who among you is from his entire people? May his God be with him. Let him ascend to Jerusalem, which is in Judea, and let him build the house of the Lord, the God of Israel. He is the God who is in Jerusalem.
Quis est in vobis de universo populo eius? Sit Deus illius cum ipso. Ascendat in Ierusalem, quae est in Iudaea, et aedificet domum Domini Dei Israel, ipse est Deus qui est in Ierusalem.
4 And let all who remain, in all the places wherever they may live, assist him, each man from his place, with silver and gold, and goods and cattle, in addition to whatever they may offer voluntarily to the temple of God, which is in Jerusalem.”
Et omnes reliqui in cunctis locis ubicumque habitant, adiuvent eum viri de loco suo argento et auro, et substantia, et pecoribus, excepto quod voluntarie offerunt templo Dei, quod est in Ierusalem.
5 And the leaders of the fathers from Judah and from Benjamin, with the priests, and the Levites, and all those whose spirit was stirred by God, rose up, so that they might ascend to build the temple of the Lord, which was in Jerusalem.
Et surrexerunt principes patrum de Iuda, et Beniamin, et Sacerdotes, et Levitae, et omnis, cuius Deus suscitavit spiritum, ut ascenderent ad aedificandum templum Domini, quod erat in Ierusalem.
6 And all those who were all around assisted their hands with vessels of silver and gold, with goods and cattle, with equipment, in addition to whatever they had offered freely.
Universique qui erant in circuitu, adiuverunt manus eorum in vasis argenteis et aureis, in substantia et iumentis, in supellectili, exceptis his, quae sponte obtulerant.
7 Likewise, king Cyrus offered the vessels of the temple of the Lord, which Nebuchadnezzar had taken from Jerusalem and had placed in the temple of his god.
Rex quoque Cyrus protulit vasa templi Domini, quae tulerat Nabuchodonosor de Ierusalem, et posuerat ea in templo Dei sui.
8 Now Cyrus, king of Persia, offered these by the hand of Mithredath, the son of the treasurer, and he counted these out to Sheshbazzar, the leader of Judah.
Protulit autem ea Cyrus rex Persarum per manum Mithridatis filii Gazabar, et annumeravit ea Sassabasar principi Iuda.
9 And this is their number: thirty gold bowls, one thousand silver bowls, twenty-nine knives, thirty gold cups,
Et hic est numerus eorum: Phialae aureae triginta, phialae argenteae mille, cultri vigintinovem, scyphi aurei triginta,
10 four hundred ten of a second kind of silver cup, one thousand other vessels.
scyphi argentei secundi quadringenti decem: vasa alia mille.
11 All the vessels of gold and silver were five thousand four hundred. Sheshbazzar brought all these, with those who ascended from the transmigration of Babylon, into Jerusalem.
Omnia vasa aurea et argentea quinque millia quadringenta: universa tulit Sassabasar cum his, qui ascendebant de transmigratione Babylonis in Ierusalem.
