< 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:
وَفِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلْأُولَى لِكُورَشَ مَلِكِ فَارِسَ عِنْدَ تَمَامِ كَلَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ بِفَمِ إِرْمِيَا، نَبَّهَ ٱلرَّبُّ رُوحَ كُورَشَ مَلِكِ فَارِسَ فَأَطْلَقَ نِدَاءً فِي كُلِّ مَمْلَكَتِهِ وَبِالْكِتَابَةِ أَيْضًا قَائِلًا:١
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.
«هَكَذَا قَالَ كُورَشُ مَلِكُ فَارِسَ: جَمِيعُ مَمَالِكِ ٱلْأَرْضِ دَفَعَهَا لِي ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، وَهُوَ أَوْصَانِي أَنْ أَبْنِيَ لَهُ بَيْتًا فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ ٱلَّتِي فِي يَهُوذَا.٢
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.
مَنْ مِنْكُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ شَعْبِهِ، لِيَكُنْ إِلَهُهُ مَعَهُ، وَيَصْعَدْ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ ٱلَّتِي فِي يَهُوذَا فَيَبْنِيَ بَيْتَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. هُوَ ٱلْإِلَهُ ٱلَّذِي فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ.٣
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.”
وَكُلُّ مَنْ بَقِيَ فِي أَحَدِ ٱلْأَمَاكِنِ حَيْثُ هُوَ مُتَغَرِّبٌ فَلْيُنْجِدْهُ أَهْلُ مَكَانِهِ بِفِضَّةٍ وَبِذَهَبٍ وَبِأَمْتِعَةٍ وَبِبَهَائِمَ مَعَ ٱلتَّبَرُّعِ لِبَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ».٤
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.
فَقَامَ رُؤُوسُ آبَاءِ يَهُوذَا وَبَنْيَامِينَ، وَٱلْكَهَنَةُ وَٱللَّاوِيُّونَ، مَعَ كُلِّ مَنْ نَبَّهَ ٱللهُ رُوحَهُ، لِيَصْعَدُوا لِيَبْنُوا بَيْتَ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ.٥
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.
وَكُلُّ ٱلَّذِينَ حَوْلَهُمْ أَعَانُوهُمْ بِآنِيَةِ فِضَّةٍ وَبِذَهَبٍ وَبِأَمْتِعَةٍ وَبِبَهَائِمَ وَبِتُحَفٍ، فَضْلًا عَنْ كُلِّ مَا تُبُرِّعَ بِهِ.٦
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.
وَٱلْمَلِكُ كُورَشُ أَخْرَجَ آنِيَةَ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّتِي أَخْرَجَهَا نَبُوخَذْنَاصَّرُ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَجَعَلَهَا فِي بَيْتِ آلِهَتِهِ.٧
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.
أَخْرَجَهَا كُورَشُ مَلِكُ فَارِسَ عَنْ يَدِ مِثْرَدَاثَ ٱلْخَازِنِ، وَعَدَّهَا لِشِيشْبَصَّرَ رَئِيسِ يَهُوذَا.٨
9 And this is their number: thirty gold bowls, one thousand silver bowls, twenty-nine knives, thirty gold cups,
وَهَذَا عَدَدُهَا: ثَلَاثُونَ طَسْتًا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، وَأَلْفُ طَسْتٍ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ، وَتِسْعَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ سِكِّينًا،٩
10 four hundred ten of a second kind of silver cup, one thousand other vessels.
وَثَلَاثُونَ قَدَحًا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، وَأَقْدَاحُ فِضَّةٍ مِنَ ٱلرُّتْبَةِ ٱلثَّانِيَةِ أَرْبَعُ مِئَةٍ وَعَشَرَةٌ، وَأَلْفٌ مِنْ آنِيَةٍ أُخْرَى.١٠
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.
جَمِيعُ ٱلْآنِيَةِ مِنَ ٱلذَّهَبِ وَٱلْفِضَّةِ خَمْسَةُ آلَافٍ وَأَرْبَعُ مِئَةٍ. ٱلْكُلُّ أَصْعَدَهُ شِيشْبَصَّرُ عِنْدَ إِصْعَادِ ٱلسَّبْيِ مِنْ بَابِلَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ.١١
