Ezra 1
1 During the first year that Cyrus ruled [the] Persian [Empire], he did something that fulfilled what Jeremiah had prophesied. Yahweh motivated Cyrus to write this message, and then Cyrus sent this message throughout his empire:
Ode bisili amoga Sailase da Besia soge ouligisu, Hina Gode Ea balofede (Gode Sia: Alofesu dunu) Yelemaiama musa: sia: i liligi da amo defele doaga: i dagoi ba: i. E da Sailase ea asigi dawa: su olelebeba: le, Sailase da ea fidisu dunuma ilia da sia: amo dedene, ea soge amo ganodini dunu huluane nabima: ne idili ima: ne sia: i. Ea sia: da agoane dedei,
2 “I, King Cyrus, who rule [the] Persian [Empire], declare this: 'Yahweh, the God [who is in/rules] from heaven, has caused me to become the ruler of all the kingdoms [that I know about] on the earth. And he has appointed me [to enable his people] to build a temple for him in Jerusalem, in Judah [land].
“Na, Sailase, Besia hina bagade da dilima sia: sa. Hina Gode, Hebene amoga Hina esala, amo da na osobo bagade fifi asi gala huluane ilima hina esaloma: ne hamoi dagoi. Amola E da na Yelusaleme moilai bai bagadega Ea Debolo diasu gaguma: ne sia: i.
3 All you people who belong to God may go up to Jerusalem to rebuild this temple for Yahweh, the God who lives in Jerusalem, the God [who is worshiped by you] Israeli people. I desire/hope that your God will be with you [and help those who go there].
Gode da dilia Ea hou lalegagui dunu huluane noga: le fidimu da defea. Dilia Yelusaleme moilai bai bagade amoga asili, Hina Gode Ea Debolo diasu mugului amo bu gaguma. Hina Gode da Isala: ili dunu ilia Gode amola ilia da Yelusaleme amo ganodini, Ema nodone sia: ne gadolala.
4 Those people who are in places where Israelis are living, whose ancestors were exiled here, should contribute silver and gold to those who go. They should also give them supplies [that they will need for the journey to Jerusalem]. They should also give them some livestock, and gifts of money to help build the temple of God in Jerusalem.'”
Gode Ea fi dunu ilia gadenene fi na: iyado dunu da mugululi asi dunu ilia masa: ne logo fidimu da defea. Ilia da silifa, gouli amola ohe fi ilia liligi gaguli masa: ne amola ilima imunu da defea. Amola Gode Ea Debolo diasu amo ganodini, Godema ima: ne liligi ilima imunu da defea.”
5 Then God motivated some of the priests and (Levites/men who did work in the temple) and some of the leaders of the tribes that were descended from Judah and Benjamin to return to Jerusalem. Those whom God motivated got ready to return to Jerusalem and build the temple for Yahweh there.
Amalalu, Yuda fi bisilua dunu, Bediamini fi bisilua dunu, gobele salasu dunu, Lifai fi dunu amola dunu eno huluane amo Gode da ilia dogoga sia: i dunu, ilia da Yelusalemega Hina Gode Ea Debolo diasu gagumusa: masa: ne, liligi momagei dagoi.
6 All of their neighbors helped them by giving them things made of silver and things made of gold, and supplies for the journey, and livestock. They also gave them other valuable gifts, and also gave them money [to buy things for building the temple].
Ilia na: iyado dunu da ili fidi. Ilia da ilima liligi bagohame iasu. Ilia da silifa yaeya, gouli, ha: i manu, ohe fi ilia liligi gaguli masa: ne amola noga: i liligi eno Debolo ganodini Godema ima: ne liligi, ilima iasu.
7 King Cyrus brought out the valuable things that King Nebuchadnezzar’s [soldiers] had taken from the temple of Yahweh in Jerusalem and put in the temple of Nebuchadnezzar’s gods [in Babylon].
Musa: , hina bagade Nebiuga: denese da amo gouli, silifa amola ofodo amo lale, hina: ogogosu ‘gode’ ilia debolo diasu ganodini salasu. Sailase da amo liligi lale, Yu dunuma bu i.
8 Cyrus commanded Mithredath, the treasurer of [the] Persian [Empire], to count all these items and then give them to Sheshbazzar, the leader of [the group that was going to return to] Judah.
Sailase da liligi huluane gaguli misini, Besia muni ouligisu dunu Midilida: de ema i. Midilida: de da amo liligi dedenanu, Yuda ouligisu dunu amo Sesebaisa ema i.
9 This is a list of the items that Cyrus donated: 30 large gold dishes 1,000 large silver dishes 29 silver (censers/incense burning pans)
Liligi idi da agoane gala, Gouliga hamoi ofodo (Godema iabe salasu) ...30 Silifaga hamoi ofodo (Godema iabe salasu) ...1,000 Ofodo eno...29 Gouli ofodo fonobahadi...30 Silifa ofodo fonobahadi...410 Eno sasali liligi...1,000
10 30 gold bowls 410 silver bowls 1,000 other items.
11 All together, there were 5,400 items made of silver or gold, that [were given to] Sheshbazzar [to] take with him when he and the others returned to Jerusalem.
Amo liligi huluane gilisili da gouli amola silifa ofodo, amola sasali liligi eno 5400 agoane. Sesebaisa amola mugululi asi dunu eno da Ba: bilone fisili, Yelusalemega asili, ilia da amo liligi gaguli asi.
