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:
Ní ọdún kìn-ín-ní Kirusi, ọba Persia, kí a lè mú ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tí Jeremiah sọ ṣẹ, Olúwa ru ọkàn Kirusi ọba Persia sókè láti ṣe ìkéde jákèjádò gbogbo agbègbè ìjọba rẹ̀, kí ó sì ṣe àkọsílẹ̀ rẹ̀ pé,
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].
“Èyí ni ohun tí Kirusi ọba Persia wí pé: “‘Olúwa, Ọlọ́run ọ̀run, ti fún mi ní gbogbo ìjọba ayé. Ó sì ti yàn mí láti kọ́ tẹmpili Olúwa fún un ní Jerusalẹmu tí ó wà ní 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].
Ẹnikẹ́ni nínú àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ láàrín yín—kí Ọlọ́run rẹ̀ wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀, kí ó sì gòkè lọ sí Jerusalẹmu tí ó wà ní Juda, láti kọ́ tẹmpili Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli, Ọlọ́run tí ó wà ní Jerusalẹmu.
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.'”
Kí àwọn ènìyàn ní ibikíbi tí ẹni náà bá ń gbé kí ó fi fàdákà àti wúrà pẹ̀lú ohun tí ó dára àti ẹran ọ̀sìn, pẹ̀lú ọrẹ àtinúwá ràn án lọ́wọ́ fún tẹmpili Ọlọ́run ní Jerusalẹmu.’”
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.
Nígbà náà àwọn olórí ìdílé Juda àti Benjamini àti àwọn àlùfáà àti àwọn ará Lefi—olúkúlùkù ẹni tí Ọlọ́run ti fọwọ́ tọ́ ọkàn rẹ̀—múra láti gòkè lọ láti kọ ilé Olúwa ní Jerusalẹmu.
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].
Gbogbo àwọn aládùúgbò wọn ràn wọ́n lọ́wọ́ pẹ̀lú ohun èlò ti fàdákà àti wúrà, pẹ̀lú onírúurú ohun ìní àti ẹran ọ̀sìn àti pẹ̀lú àwọn ẹ̀bùn iyebíye, ní àfikún si gbogbo àwọn ọrẹ àtinúwá.
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].
Ní àfikún, ọba Kirusi mú àwọn ohun èlò tí ó jẹ́ ti ilé Olúwa jáde wá, tí Nebukadnessari ti kó lọ láti Jerusalẹmu tí ó sì ti kó sí ilé òrìṣà rẹ̀.
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.
Kirusi ọba Persia pàṣẹ fún Mitredati olùṣọ́ ilé ìṣúra láti kó wọn jáde, ó sì kà wọ́n fún Ṣeṣbassari ìjòyè Juda.
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)
Èyí ni iye wọn. Ọgbọ̀n àwo wúrà 30 Ẹgbẹ̀rún àwo fàdákà 1,000 Àwo ìrúbọ fàdákà mọ́kàndínlọ́gbọ̀n 29

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.
