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:
Men i Kyrus's, Kongen af Persiens, første Aar, da Herrens Ord, som var talt ved Jeremias's Mund, var fuldkommet, opvakte Herren Kyrus's, Kongen af Persiens, Aand, at han lod udraabe over sit ganske Rige og kundgøre ved Skrift og sige:
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].
Saa siger Kyrus, Kongen i Persien: Herren, Himmelens Gud, har givet mig alle Riger paa Jorden, og han har befalet mig at bygge sig et Hus i Jerusalem, som er i Juda.
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].
Hvo der maatte være iblandt eder af alle hans Folk, med ham være Herren, hans Gud, og han drage op til Jerusalem, som er i Juda, og han bygge Herren Israels Guds Hus; han er den Gud, som er i Jerusalem.
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.'”
Og hver, som er bleven tilovers, skulle fra alle Steder, hvor han er fremmed, hans Steds Folk understøtte med Sølv og med Guld og med Gods og med Kvæg, med en frivillig Gave til Guds Hus, som er i Jerusalem.
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.
Da gjorde Øversterne for Fædrenehusene i Juda og Benjamin tillige med Præsterne og Leviterne sig rede, ja alle, hvis Aand Gud opvakte, til at drage op for at bygge Herrens Hus, som er i Jerusalem.
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].
Og alle trindt omkring dem understøttede dem med Sølvkar, med Guld, med Gods og med Kvæg og med kostbare Skænk foruden alt det, som de gave frivilligt.
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].
Og Kong Kyrus lod Herrens Hus's Kar, hvilke Nebukadnezar havde udført af Jerusalem og sat i sin Guds Hus, føre ud.
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.
Men Kyrus, Kongen i Persien, førte dem ud ved Mithridates's, Skatmesterens Haand, og han talte Sesbazar, Judas Fyrste, dem til.
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)
Og dette er Tallet paa dem: Tredive Guldbækkener, tusinde Sølvbækkener, ni og tyve Offerknive,
10 30 gold bowls 410 silver bowls 1,000 other items.
tredive Guldbægere, fire Hundrede og ti andre Sølvbægere, tusinde andre Kar.
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.
Alle Kar af Guld og Sølv vare fem Tusinde og fire Hundrede; alt dette førte Sesbazar op, da de bortførte droge op fra Babel til Jerusalem.
