Ezra 1
1 In the first year of Cyrus, king of Persia, to fulfil the word of Yahweh from the mouth of Jeremiah, Yahweh aroused the spirit of Cyrus, king of Persia, and he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, moreover also in 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, saith Cyrus, king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth, hath Yahweh God of the heavens, given to me, —and, he himself, hath laid charge upon me, to build for him a house, in 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 Who is there among you of all his people? His God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, —and build the house of Yahweh God of Israel, (he, is God!) which 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 is left, of all the places where he doth sojourn, let the men of his place uphold him, with silver and with gold, and with goods and with beasts, —along with a voluntary 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 arose the ancestral chiefs of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, —even every one whose spirit God had aroused, to go up to build the house of Yahweh, which was 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 they who were round about them, strengthened their hands, with utensils of silver, with gold with goods and with beasts, and with precious things, —besides any thing he had volunteered.
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 And, King Cyrus, brought forth the utensils of the house of Yahweh, —which Nebuchadnezzar had brought forth from Jerusalem, and put in the house of his gods: —
Nke ka nke, eze Sairọs chịpụtara ọtụtụ ngwongwo nke ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị nke Nebukadneza sitere na Jerusalem bukọrọ gaa debe nʼụlọ chi ya.
8 yea Cyrus king of Persia brought them forth, by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, —and numbered them unto Sheshbazzar, a leader of 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, these, were the numbers of them, —basins of gold, thirty, basins of silver, a thousand, knives, twenty-nine;
Nke a bụ ọnụọgụgụ ngwongwo ndị ahụ: efere ọlaedo iri atọ, efere ọlaọcha otu puku, efere ọlaọcha iri abụọ na itoolu,
10 bowls of gold, thirty, bowls of silver, of a secondary sort, four hundred and ten, —other utensils, a thousand.
efere nta ọlaedo iri atọ, efere ọlaọcha nta narị anọ na iri, ngwongwo ndị ọzọ otu puku.
11 All the utensils, in gold and silver, were five thousand and four hundred, —the whole, did Sheshbazzar bring up with the upbringing of the exile, out of 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.
