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,
Persiahene Kores afe a edi kan no mu no, Awurade kaa Kores koma ma ɔkyerɛw saa dawubɔ nsɛm yi de kɔɔ ahemman no 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.
Sɛnea Persiahene Kores ka ni: Awurade, ɔsoro Nyankopɔn de ahemman a ɛwɔ asase so nyinaa ahyɛ me nsa. Wayi me sɛ minsi 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 nkurɔfo nyinaa, monsan nkɔ Yerusalem wɔ Yuda, nsan nkosi saa Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn, a ɔte Yerusalem no asɔredan. Na mo Nyankopɔn 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 Yudafo nkae no wɔ no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔma Yudafo no dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ, akwantu nneɛma, nyɛmmoa ne koma pa mu afɔrebɔde a wɔde ma Onyankopɔn asɔredan a ɛwɔ Yerusalem no, de boa wɔn akwantu 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 Lewifo, Yuda ne Benyamin mmusuakuw ntuanofo no koma sɛ, wɔnsan mmra Yerusalem mmesiesie 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 afipamfo boa maa wɔn dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ ne nyɛmmoa, ma wɔde tuu kwan no. Wɔmaa wɔn akyɛde pa bebree de kaa nea efi wɔn ankasa koma 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 aboɔdenne a ɔhene Nebukadnessar tase fii Awurade asɔredan mu wɔ Yerusalem de koguu ɔno ankasa anyame asɔredan mu no bae.
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 wotwaa wɔn asu a wɔresan aba Yuda no panyin Sesbasar nsa.
9 This is the number of them: thirty platters of gold, one thousand platters of silver, twenty-nine knives,
Eyinom ne nneɛma a Kores de bɛkyɛe: sikakɔkɔɔ nsiase 30 dwetɛ nsiase 1,000 dwetɛ ɔhyewsɛn 29
10 thirty bowls of gold, silver bowls of a second sort four hundred and ten, and other vessels one thousand.
sikakɔkɔɔ hweaseammɔ 30 dwetɛ hweaseammɔ 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 bere a wɔn a wotwaa wɔn asu fi Babilonia baa hɔ no dodow yɛ sikakɔkɔɔ ne dwetɛ mpem anum ne ahannan.
