< 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:
En el primer año de Ciro, rey de Persia, para que se cumpliera la palabra de Yahvé por boca de Jeremías, Yahvé despertó el espíritu de Ciro, rey de Persia, de modo que hizo un anuncio por todo su reino, y lo puso también por escrito, diciendo,
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.
“Ciro, rey de Persia, dice: “Yahvé, el Dios del cielo, me ha dado todos los reinos de la tierra; y me ha ordenado que le construya una casa en Jerusalén, que está en Judá.
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.
Quienquiera que haya entre ustedes de todo su pueblo, que su Dios esté con él, y que suba a Jerusalén, que está en Judá, y edifique la casa de Yahvé, el Dios de Israel (él es Dios), que está en Jerusalén.
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.'
El que quede, en cualquier lugar donde viva, que los hombres de su lugar lo ayuden con plata, con oro, con bienes y con animales, además de la ofrenda voluntaria para la casa de Dios que está en Jerusalén”.
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.
Entonces los jefes de familia de Judá y de Benjamín, los sacerdotes y los levitas, todos cuyos espíritus Dios había incitado a subir, se levantaron para edificar la casa de Yahvé que está en Jerusalén.
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.
Todos los que los rodeaban reforzaron sus manos con vasos de plata, con oro, con bienes, con animales y con cosas preciosas, además de todo lo que se ofrecía voluntariamente.
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;
También el rey Ciro sacó los utensilios de la casa de Yahvé, que Nabucodonosor había sacado de Jerusalén y había puesto en la casa de sus dioses;
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.
esos los sacó Ciro, rey de Persia, por mano del tesorero Mitrídates, y los contó a Sesbasar, príncipe de Judá.
9 And this is the number of them: thirty basins of gold, a thousand basins of silver, nine and twenty knives;
Este es el número de ellos: treinta fuentes de oro, mil fuentes de plata, veintinueve cuchillos,
10 thirty bowls of gold, silver bowls of a second sort four hundred and ten, and other vessels a thousand.
treinta tazones de oro, cuatrocientos diez tazones de plata de segunda clase, y otros mil recipientes.
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.
Todos los vasos de oro y de plata eran cinco mil cuatrocientos. Todo esto lo trajo Sesbasar cuando los cautivos fueron llevados de Babilonia a Jerusalén.
