< Ezra 1 >

1 And in the first year of Cyrus the king of Persia, at the time the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah was accomplished, the Lord awakened the spirit of Cyrus the king of Persia; and he caused a proclamation to be made throughout all his kingdom, and also by means of writing, saying,
Prve godine perzijskoga kralja Kira, da bi se ispunila riječ Jahvina objavljena na Jeremijina usta, nadahnu Jahve perzijskoga kralja Kira te on objavi po svemu svojem kraljevstvu, usmeno i pismeno:
2 Thus hath said Cyrus the king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth hath the Lord the God of heaven given unto me; and he hath directed me to build for him a house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah.
“Ovako veli perzijski kralj Kir: 'Sva zemaljska kraljevstva dade mi Jahve, Bog nebeski. On mi naloži da mu sagradim Dom u Jeruzalemu, u Judeji.
3 Whoever among you that is of all his people, may his God be with him, and 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.
Tko je god među vama od svega njegova naroda, Bog njegov bio s njim! Neka ide u Jeruzalem u Judeji i neka gradi Dom Jahvi, Bogu Izraelovu, Bogu koji stoluje u Jeruzalemu.
4 And whosoever remaineth out of any place where he hath sojourned, him shall the men of his place assist with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts, beside the freewill offering for the house of God which is in Jerusalem.
I gdje god se još zadržao ostatak toga naroda, neka ga stanovništvo mjesta u kojima boravi podupre srebrom i zlatom, imanjem i stokom i dragovoljnim prinosima za Dom Božji u Jeruzalemu.'”
5 Then rose up the chiefs of the divisions of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, with all those whose spirit God had awakened, to go up to build the house of the Lord which is in Jerusalem.
Tada ustadoše glavari obitelji Jude i Benjamina, svećenici i leviti, i svi kojima je Bog potaknuo duh i krenuše graditi Dom Jahvin u Jeruzalemu.
6 And all those that were round about them supplied them with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and with beasts, and with precious things, beside all that was willingly offered.
I svi su im susjedi pomagali: srebrom, zlatom, darovima u naravi, stokom, dragocjenostima mnogim, osim svega što su dragovoljno prilagali.
7 Also king Cyrus brought forth the vessels of the house of the Lord, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought away out of Jerusalem, and had placed in the house of his god:
Kralj Kir iznese posuđe Jahvina Doma koje Nabukodonozor bijaše odnio iz Jeruzalema i stavio u hram svoga boga.
8 Even these did Cyrus the king of Persia bring forth through the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and counted them out unto Sheshbazzar the prince for Judah.
Kir, kralj perzijski, uruči ga Mitredatu, rizničaru, koji ga izbroji judejskom knezu Šešbasaru.
9 And this is their number: Thirty chargers of gold, a thousand chargers of silver, nine and twenty knives,
Evo njegova popisa. Zlatnih zdjela: trideset; srebrnih zdjela: tisuću i dvadeset devet;
10 Thirty cups of gold, silver cups of a second degree four hundred and ten, other vessels a thousand.
zlatnih čaša: trideset; srebrnih čaša: četiri stotine i deset; ostalog posuđa: tisuću.
11 All the vessels of gold and of silver were five thousand and four hundred. All these did Sheshbazzar bring up with the exiles that were brought up from Babylon unto Jerusalem.
Svega zlatnog i srebrnog posuđa: pet tisuća i četiri stotine. Sve je to odnio Šešbasar kada se sužnji vraćahu iz Babilona u Jeruzalem.
