Ezra 1
1 Nowe in the first yere of Cyrus King of Persia (that the worde of the Lord, spoken by the mouth of Ieremiah, might be accomplished) the Lord stirred vp the spirite of Cyrus King of Persia, and hee made a Proclamation thorowe all his Kingdome, and also by writing, saying,
Pada tahun pertama zaman Koresh, raja negeri Persia, TUHAN menggerakkan hati Koresh, raja Persia itu untuk menggenapkan firman yang diucapkan oleh Yeremia, sehingga disiarkan di seluruh kerajaan Koresh secara lisan dan tulisan pengumuman ini:
2 Thus saith Cyrus King of Persia, The Lord God of heauen hath giuen me all the kingdomes of the earth, and he hath commanded me to builde him an house in Ierusalem, which is in Iudah.
"Beginilah perintah Koresh, raja Persia: Segala kerajaan di bumi telah dikaruniakan kepadaku oleh TUHAN, Allah semesta langit. Ia menugaskan aku untuk mendirikan rumah bagi-Nya di Yerusalem, yang terletak di Yehuda.
3 Who is he among you of all his people with whome his God is? let him goe vp to Ierusalem which is in Iudah, and buylde the house of the Lord God of Israel: he is the God, which is in Ierusalem.
Siapa di antara kamu termasuk umat-Nya, Allahnya menyertainya! Biarlah ia berangkat pulang ke Yerusalem, yang terletak di Yehuda, dan mendirikan rumah TUHAN. Allah Israel, yakni Allah yang diam di Yerusalem.
4 And euery one that remayneth in any place (where he soiourneth) let the men of his place relieue him with siluer and with golde, and with substance, and with cattel, and with a willing offring, for the house of God that is in Ierusalem.
Dan setiap orang yang tertinggal, di manapun ia ada sebagai pendatang, harus disokong oleh penduduk setempat dengan perak dan emas, harta benda dan ternak, di samping persembahan sukarela bagi rumah Allah yang ada di Yerusalem."
5 Then the chiefe fathers of Iudah and Beniamin, and the Priests and Leuites rose vp, with al them whose spirit God had raysed to goe vp, to builde the house of the Lord which is in Ierusalem.
Maka berkemaslah kepala-kepala kaum keluarga orang Yehuda dan orang Benyamin, serta para imam dan orang-orang Lewi, yakni setiap orang yang hatinya digerakkan Allah untuk berangkat pulang dan mendirikan rumah TUHAN yang ada di Yerusalem.
6 And all they that were about them, strengthened their handes with vessels of siluer, with golde, with substance and with cattell, and with precious thinges, besides all that was willingly offred.
Dan segala orang di sekeliling mereka membantu mereka dengan barang-barang perak, dengan emas, harta benda dan ternak dan dengan pemberian yang indah-indah, selain dari segala sesuatu yang dipersembahkan dengan sukarela.
7 Also the King Cyrus brought forth the vessels of the house of the Lord, which Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of Ierusalem, and had put them in the house of his god.
Pula raja Koresh menyuruh mengeluarkan perlengkapan rumah TUHAN yang telah diangkut Nebukadnezar dari Yerusalem dan yang ditaruhnya di dalam kuil allahnya.
8 Euen them did Cyrus King of Persia bring forth by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and counted them vnto Sheshbazzar the Prince of Iudah.
Koresh, raja Persia itu, menyuruh mengeluarkan semuanya itu di bawah pengawasan Mitredat, bendahara raja, yang menghitung seluruhnya bagi Sesbazar, pembesar di Yehuda.
9 And this is the nomber of them, thirtie basins of golde, a thousand basins of siluer, nine and twentie kniues,
Inilah daftarnya: tiga puluh bokor emas, seribu bokor perak, dua puluh sembilan pisau,
10 Thirtie boules of gold, and of siluer boules of the second sort, foure hundreth and tenne, and of other vessels, a thousand.
tiga puluh piala emas, pula empat ratus sepuluh piala perak, seribu buah barang-barang lain.
11 All the vessels of golde and siluer were fiue thousand and foure hundreth. Sheshbazzar brought vp all with them of the captiuitie that came vp from Babel to Ierusalem.
Barang-barang emas dan perak itu seluruhnya berjumlah lima ribu empat ratus. Semuanya itu dibawa oleh Sesbazar sewaktu orang-orang buangan itu dibawa pulang dari negeri Babel ke Yerusalem.
