Ezra 1
1 NOW IN the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in 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: All the kingdoms of the earth hath the LORD, the God of heaven, given me; and He hath charged me to build Him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah.
"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 Whosoever there is among you of all His people — his God be with him — let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of the LORD, the God of Israel, He is the God who is in Jerusalem.
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 whosoever is left, in any place where he sojourneth, let the men of his place help him with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts, beside the freewill-offering for the house of God which is in Jerusalem.'
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 rose up the heads of fathers' houses of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, even all whose spirit God had stirred to go up to build the house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem.
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 round about them strengthened their hands with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and with beasts, and with precious things, beside all that was willingly offered.
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 Cyrus the king brought forth the vessels of the house of the LORD, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought forth out of Jerusalem, and had put them in the house of his gods;
Pula raja Koresh menyuruh mengeluarkan perlengkapan rumah TUHAN yang telah diangkut Nebukadnezar dari Yerusalem dan yang ditaruhnya di dalam kuil allahnya.
8 even those did Cyrus king of Persia bring forth by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and numbered them unto Sheshbazzar, the prince of Judah.
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 number of them: thirty basins of gold, a thousand basins of silver, nine and twenty knives;
Inilah daftarnya: tiga puluh bokor emas, seribu bokor perak, dua puluh sembilan pisau,
10 thirty bowls of gold, silver bowls of a second sort four hundred and ten, and other vessels a thousand.
tiga puluh piala emas, pula empat ratus sepuluh piala perak, seribu buah barang-barang lain.
11 All the vessels of gold and of silver were five thousand and four hundred. All these did Sheshbazzar bring up, when they of the captivity were brought up from Babylon unto Jerusalem.
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.
