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:
Para que se cumpliera la profecía del Señor dada a través de Jeremías, el Señor animó a Ciro, rey de Persia, a emitir una proclama en todo su reino y también a ponerla por escrito, diciendo:
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].
“Esto es lo que dice Ciro, rey de Persia: ‘El Señor, el Dios de los cielos, que me ha dado todos los reinos de la tierra, me ha dado la responsabilidad de construirle un Templo en Jerusalén, en Judá.
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].
Cualquiera de ustedes que pertenezca a su pueblo puede ir a Jerusalén, en Judá, para reconstruir este Templo del Señor, el Dios de Israel, que vive en Jerusalén. Que su Dios esté con ustedes.
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.'”
Donde quiera que los sobrevivientes vivan actualmente, que sean ayudados por la gente de esa región con plata, oro, bienes y ganado, junto con una donación voluntaria para el Templo de Dios en Jerusalén’”.
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.
Entonces Dios animó a los jefes de familia de Judá y Benjamín, así como a los sacerdotes y a los levitas, a ir y reconstruir el Templo del Señor en Jerusalén.
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].
Todos sus vecinos les apoyaron con regalos de plata y oro, con bienes y ganado, y con otros objetos de valor, además de todas sus donaciones voluntarias.
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].
El rey Ciro también recuperó los objetos pertenecientes al Templo del Señor que Nabucodonosor había tomado de Jerusalén y colocado en el templo de su dios.
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.
Ciro hizo que Mitrídates, el tesorero, los recuperara, los contara y se los diera a Sesbasar, que era el líder de Judá.
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)
Esta era la lista: 30 cuencas de oro, 1.000 cuencas de plata, 29 cubiertos de plata,
10 30 gold bowls 410 silver bowls 1,000 other items.
30 cuencos de oro, 410 cuencos de plata a juego y otros 1.000 artículos.
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.
En total había 5.400 objetos de oro y plata. Cuando los exiliados salieron de Babilonia para ir a Jerusalén Sesbasar se llevó todo esto con ellos.
