< 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,
Nʼafọ mbụ nke ọchịchị Sairọs, eze Peshịa, ime ka okwu Onyenwe anyị nke sitere nʼọnụ Jeremaya mezuo, Onyenwe anyị kpaliri mmụọ Sairọs, eze Peshịa ka o mee mkpọsa nʼalaeze ya niile, ma denyekwa ya nʼakwụkwọ iwu, sị,
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.
“Otu a ka Sairọs, eze Peshịa kwuru, “‘Onyenwe anyị Chineke nke eluigwe, e nyela m alaeze niile nke dị nʼụwa, o nyekwala m ọrụ iwuru ya ụlọnsọ na Jerusalem, nke dị na Juda.
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.
Ya mere, onye ya ọbụla nʼetiti ndị ya nwere ike ịga Jerusalem nke dị na Juda, gaa wuo ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị, Chineke Izrel, bụ Chineke nọ na Jerusalem. Ka Chineke ha nọnyekwara ha.
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.
Ma nʼobodo ọbụla ebe ndị fọdụrụ ndụ bi, ka ndị nọ nʼebe ahụ nye ha onyinye ọlaọcha na ọlaedo, na akụ na anụ ụlọ nʼụzọ enyemaka, tinyere onyinye afọ ofufu maka ụlọnsọ ukwu Chineke nke dị na Jerusalem.’”
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.
Mgbe ahụ, Chineke tinyere ọchịchọ ịlaghachi Jerusalem nʼobi ndịisi ezinaụlọ Juda na Benjamin na ndị nchụaja, na ndị Livayị. Ha kwadokwara ịlaghachi maka ịrụ ọrụ ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị ahụ na-atụfughị oge.
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.
Ndị Juu bi na gburugburu Peshịa nyere ndị nke na-alaghachi Jerusalem onyinye ihe ọlaọcha na ọlaedo, na anụ ụlọ na ihe ndị ọzọ, na onyinye dị oke ọnụahịa dị iche iche, tinyere onyinye afọ ofufu ha.
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:
Nke ka nke, eze Sairọs chịpụtara ọtụtụ ngwongwo nke ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị nke Nebukadneza sitere na Jerusalem bukọrọ gaa debe nʼụlọ chi ya.
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.
Sairọs bụ eze Peshịa, chịpụtara ha site nʼaka Mitredat, onye bụ odozi akụ, onye gụrụ ha ọnụ nye Sheshbaza, onye bụ onyeisi ndị Juu ahụ na-alaghachi Jerusalem na Juda.
9 And this is their number: Thirty chargers of gold, a thousand chargers of silver, nine and twenty knives,
Nke a bụ ọnụọgụgụ ngwongwo ndị ahụ: efere ọlaedo iri atọ, efere ọlaọcha otu puku, efere ọlaọcha iri abụọ na itoolu,
10 Thirty cups of gold, silver cups of a second degree four hundred and ten, other vessels a thousand.
efere nta ọlaedo iri atọ, efere ọlaọcha nta narị anọ na iri, ngwongwo ndị ọzọ otu puku.
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.
Nʼime ihe ndị a niile, ọnụọgụgụ ihe e ji ọlaọcha na ọlaedo kpụọ dị puku ise na narị anọ. Sheshbaza bulatara ihe ndị a mgbe ya na ndị ahụ a dọọrọ nʼagha hapụrụ Babilọn na-alọta Jerusalem.
