Ezra 1
1 Now in the first year of Koresh king of Persia, that the word of YHWH by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, YHWH stirred up the spirit of Koresh king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,
Na Persiahene Kores afe a ɛdi ɛkan no mu no, Awurade kaa Kores akoma maa ɔtwerɛɛ saa dawurobɔ nsɛm yi de kɔɔ ahemman yi nyinaa mu, maa Yeremia nkɔmhyɛ no baa mu.
2 "Thus says Koresh king of Persia, 'YHWH, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he has commanded me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah.
Sɛdeɛ Persiahene Kores ka nie: Awurade, ɔsoro Onyankopɔn de ahemman a ɛwɔ asase so nyinaa ahyɛ me nsa. Wayi me sɛ, mensi asɔredan mma no wɔ Yerusalem wɔ Yuda asase so.
3 Whoever there is among you 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 YHWH, the God of Israel (he is God), which is in Jerusalem.
Mo a moyɛ ne nkurɔfoɔ nyinaa, monsane nkɔ Yerusalem wɔ Yuda, nsane nkɔsi saa Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn, a ɔte Yerusalem no asɔredan. Na mo Onyankopɔn bɛka mo ho.
4 Whoever is left, in any place where he lives, let the men of his place help him with silver, with gold, with goods, and with animals, besides the freewill offering for God's house which is in Jerusalem.'"
Wɔn a wɔtete baabiara a Yudafoɔ nkaeɛfoɔ no wɔ no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔma Yudafoɔ no dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ, akwantuo nneɛma, nyɛmmoa ne akoma pa mu afɔrebɔdeɛ a wɔde ma Onyankopɔn asɔredan a ɛwɔ Yerusalem no, de boa wɔn akwantuo no.
5 Then the heads of ancestral houses of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, even all whose spirit God had stirred to go up rose up to build the house of YHWH which is in Jerusalem.
Na Onyankopɔn kaa Lewifoɔ, Yuda ne Benyamin mmusuakuo ntuanofoɔ akoma sɛ, wɔnsane mmra Yerusalem mmɛsiesie Awurade asɔredan no.
6 All those who were around them strengthened their hands with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and with animals, and with precious things, besides all that was willingly offered.
Na wɔn afipamfoɔ boa maa wɔn dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ atam ne nyɛmmoa, ma wɔde tuu kwan no. Wɔmaa wɔn akyɛdeɛ pa bebree de kaa deɛ ɛfiri wɔn ankasa akoma mu no ho.
7 Also Koresh the king brought forth the vessels of the house of YHWH, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought out of Jerusalem, and had put in the house of his gods;
Ɔhene Kores no ankasa de aboɔdenneɛ a ɔhene Nebukadnessar tase firii Awurade asɔredan mu wɔ Yerusalem de kɔguu ɔno ankasa anyame asɔredan mu no baeɛ.
8 even those, Koresh king of Persia brought out by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and numbered them to Sheshbazzar, the prince of Judah.
Kores hyɛɛ Persia ɔsannaani Mitredat sɛ ɔnkenkan saa nneɛma no nyinaa, na ɔmfa nhyɛ wɔn a wɔtwaa wɔn asuo a wɔresane aba Yuda no panin Sesbasar nsa.
9 This is the number of them: thirty platters of gold, one thousand platters of silver, twenty-nine knives,
Yeinom ne nneɛma a Kores de bɛkyɛeɛ: sikakɔkɔɔ nsiaseɛ 30 dwetɛ nsiaseɛ 1,000 dwetɛ ɔhyeɛsɛn 29
10 thirty bowls of gold, silver bowls of a second sort four hundred and ten, and other vessels one thousand.
sikakɔkɔɔ atam 30 dwetɛ atam 410 nneɛma a ɛkeka ho 1,000
11 All the vessels of gold and of silver were five thousand and four hundred. Sheshbazzar brought all these up, when the captives were brought up from Babylon to Jerusalem.
Ne nyinaa mu no, sikakɔkɔɔ ne dwetɛ nneɛma a wɔde maa Sesbasar sɛ ɔmfa nkɔ Yerusalem wɔ ɛberɛ a wɔn a wɔtwaa wɔn asuo firi Babilonia baa hɔ no dodoɔ yɛ sikakɔkɔɔ ne dwetɛ mpem enum ne ahanan.
