< Ezra 1 >

1 And 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, and he made a proclamation throughout his kingdom, and also 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 Thus says Cyrus king of Persia: All the kingdoms of the earth has Jehovah the God of the heavens given to me, and he has charged me to build him a house at 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 Whosoever 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 at 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 whosoever remains 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 voluntary offering for the house of God which is at 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 And the chief fathers of Judah and Benjamin rose up, and the priests, and the Levites, even all those whose spirit God had stirred, to go up to build the house of Jehovah which is at 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 they that were about them strengthened their hands with articles of silver, with gold, with goods, and with beasts, and with precious things, besides all that was willingly 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 king Cyrus 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 god.
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 And Cyrus king of Persia brought them forth by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, who counted them out to Sheshbazzar the prince 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: thirty chargers of gold, a thousand chargers of silver, nine-and-twenty knives,
He aquí el inventario de ellos: Treinta fuentes de oro, mil fuentes de plata, veinte y nueve cuchillos,
10 thirty basons of gold, silver basons of a second [sort] four hundred and ten, [and] other vessels a thousand.
treinta copas de oro, cuatrocientas diez copas de plata de segundo orden, y mil otros utensilios.
11 All the vessels of gold and of silver were five thousand four hundred. The whole did Sheshbazzar bring up, when they of the captivity were brought 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.
