Ezra 1
1 And in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, at the completion of the word of YHWH from the mouth of Jeremiah, has YHWH awoken the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, and he causes an intimation to pass over into all his kingdom, and also in writing, saying,
Og i Perserkongen Kyros's første Regeringsaar vakte HERREN, for at hans Ord gennem Jeremias's Mund kunde opfyldes, Perserkongen Kyros's Aand, saa han lod følgende udraabe i hele sit Rige og desuden kundgøre ved en Skrivelse:
2 “Thus said Cyrus king of Persia: YHWH, God of the heavens, has given all kingdoms of the earth to me, and He has laid a charge on me to build a house for Him in Jerusalem, that [is] in Judah;
Perserkongen, Kyros gør vitterligt: Alle Jordens Riger har HERREN, Himmelens Gud, givet mig; og han har paalagt mig at bygge ham et Hus i Jerusalem i Juda.
3 who [is] among you of all His people? His God is with him, and he goes up to Jerusalem, that [is] in Judah, and builds the house of YHWH, God of Israel (He [alone is] God), that [is] in Jerusalem.
Hvem iblandt eder, der hører til hans Folk, med ham være hans Gud, og han drage op til Jerusalem i Juda og bygge HERRENS, Israels Guds, Hus; han er den Gud, som bor i Jerusalem;
4 And everyone who is left, of any of the places where he [is] a sojourner, the men of his place assist him with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts, along with a free-will offering for the house of God, that [is] in Jerusalem.”
og alle Steder, hvor de tiloversblevne bor som fremmede, skal Beboerne støtte dem med Sølv, Guld, Heste og Kvæg, bortset fra de frivillige Gaver til Guds Hus i Jerusalem.
5 And heads of the fathers of Judah and Benjamin rise, and the priests and the Levites, even everyone whose spirit God has awoken, to go up to build the house of YHWH, that [is] in Jerusalem;
Da brød Overhovederne for Judas og Benjamins Fædrenehuse og Præsterne og Leviterne op, alle, hvis Aand Gud vakte, saa de drog op for at bygge HERRENS Hus i Jerusalem;
6 and all those around them have strengthened [them] with their hands, with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and with beasts, and with precious things, apart from all that has been offered willingly.
og bortset fra alle de frivillige Gaver kom alle deres Naboer dem til Hjælp med alt, baade Sølv, Guld, Heste og Kvæg og Kostbarheder i Mængde.
7 And King Cyrus has brought out the vessels of the house of YHWH that Nebuchadnezzar has brought out of Jerusalem, and puts them in the house of his gods;
Og Kong Kyros udleverede Karrene fra HERRENS Hus, som Nebukadnezar havde ført bort fra Jerusalem og ladet opstille i sin Guds Hus;
8 indeed, Cyrus king of Persia brings them out by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and numbers them to Sheshbazzar the prince of Judah.
dem gav Perserkongen Kyros ny til Skatmesteren Mitredat, og han talte dem og overgav dem til Sjesjbazzar, Judas Fyrste.
9 And this [is] their number: dishes of gold thirty, dishes of silver one thousand, knives twenty-nine,
Og Tallet paa dem var følgende: 30 Guldbækkener, 1000 Sølvbakker, 29 Røgelseskaale,
10 basins of gold thirty, basins of silver (seconds) four hundred and ten, other vessels one thousand.
30 Guldbægre, 410 Sølvbægre af ringere Art og 1000 andre Kar,
11 All the vessels of gold and of silver [are] five thousand and four hundred; the whole has Sheshbazzar brought up with the going up of the expulsion from Babylon to Jerusalem.
i alt 5400 Kar, dels af Guld og dels af Sølv. Alt dette bragte Sjesjbazzar med sig, da de landflygtige drog op fra Babel til Jerusalem.
