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:
Y en el primer año de Ciro rey de Persia, para que se cumpliese la palabra de Jehová dicha por la boca de Jeremías, despertó Jehová el espíritu de Ciro rey de Persia, el cual hizo pasar pregón por todo su reino, y también 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].
Así dijo Ciro rey de Persia: Jehová Dios de los cielos me ha dado todos los reinos de la tierra, y me ha mandado que le edifique casa en Jerusalem, que es 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].
¿Quién hay entre vosotros de todo su pueblo? Sea Dios con él, y suba a Jerusalem, que es en Judá, y edifique la casa a Jehová Dios de Israel, el cual es Dios: la cual casa está en 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.'”
Y a cualquiera que hubiere quedado de todos los lugares donde fuere extranjero, los varones de su lugar le ayuden con plata, y oro, y hacienda, y con bestias: con dones voluntarios para la casa de Dios, la cual está en 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.
Entonces se levantaron las cabezas de las familias de Judá y de Ben-jamín, y los sacerdotes y Levitas, de todos aquellos cuyo espíritu despertó Dios, para subir a edificar la casa de Jehová, que está en 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].
Y todos los que estaban en sus al derredores confortaron las manos de ellos con vasos de plata, y de oro, con hacienda, y bestias, y con cosas preciosas, además de lo que se ofreció voluntariamente.
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].
Y el rey Ciro sacó los vasos de la casa de Jehová, que Nabucodonosor había traspasado de Jerusalem, y puesto en la casa de sus dioses.
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.
Y sacólos Ciro rey de Persia por mano de Mitridates tesorero, el cual los dio por cuenta a Sasabasar príncipe 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)
De los cuales esta es la cuenta: Tazones de oro treinta, tazones de plata mil, cuchillos veinte y nueve,
10 30 gold bowls 410 silver bowls 1,000 other items.
Lebrillos de oro treinta, lebrillos de plata segundos cuatrocientos y diez; otros vasos mil.
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.
Todos los vasos de oro y de plata cinco mil y cuatrocientos. Todos los hizo traer Sasabasar con los que subieron del cautiverio de Babilonia a Jerusalem.
