< Ezra 1 >
1 In the first year of Cyrus, king of Persia, Yahweh fulfilled his word that came from the mouth of Jeremiah, and stirred Cyrus's spirit. Cyrus' voice went out over his entire kingdom. This is what was written and spoken:
Persia siangpahrang Sairas angraenghaih saning tangsuek naah, Jeremiah mah thuih ih Angraeng lok akoep hanah, Angraeng mah Persia siangpahrang Sairas ih palungthin to pahruek pae pongah, a prae thung boih ah hae tiah ca tariksak moe, taphong;
2 “Cyrus, king of Persia, says: Yahweh, God of Heaven, gave me all the kingdoms of the earth, and he appointed me to build for him a house in Jerusalem in Judea.
Persia siangpahrang Sairas mah hae tiah thuih; Van ih Angraeng Sithaw mah long nui ih prae boih loe kai hanah paek boeh moe, Judah prae Jerusalem ah, anih han im sak pae han ih tok doeh ang paek.
3 Whoever is from his people (may his God be with him) may go up to Jerusalem and build a house for Yahweh, the God of Israel, the God who is in Jerusalem.
Nangcae thungah Anih ih kami na oh o maw? Om nahaeloe angmah ih Sithaw anih khaeah om nasoe, to kami loe Judah prae Jerusalem ah caeh tahang nasoe loe, Israel Angraeng Sithaw ih im to Jerusalem ah sah nasoe, (Jerusalem ah kaom Sithaw loe Israel Sithaw ah oh.)
4 People of any part of the kingdom where survivors of that land are living should provide them with silver and gold, possessions and animals, as well as a freewill offering for God's house in Jerusalem.”
Ahmuen kruekah kaom kaminawk loe, Jerusalem ah kaom Sithaw ih im sak hanah, sui, phoisa, hmuenmaenawk, moinawk hoiah abomh o nasoe, tiah lokthuih.
5 Then the heads of the ancestors' clans of Judah and Benjamin, the priests and Levites, and everyone whose spirit God stirred to go and build his house arose.
Judah hoi Benjamin imthung takoh thung ih kacoehtanawk, qaima hoi Levi acaengnawk, Sithaw mah palung angthawksak ih kaminawk loe angthawk o moe, Jerusalem ah kaom Angraeng ih im sak hanah caeh o.
6 Those around them supported their work with silver and gold objects, possessions, animals, valuables, and freewill offerings.
Im taengah kaom kaminawk loe palunghuem o baktih toengah sui, phoisa, hmuenmae, pacah ih moi hoi atho kana hmuennawk to paqum o.
7 Cyrus king of Persia also released the objects belonging to Yahweh's house that Nebuchadnezzar had brought from Jerusalem and put in his own gods' houses.
Nebukhadnezzar siangpahrang mah Jerusalem hoiah sinh moe, angmah ih tempul thungah suek ih Sithaw im thung ih laom sabaenawk boih to Sairas siangpahrang mah paek pae let.
8 Cyrus put them into the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, who counted them out for Sheshbazzar, Judea's leader.
Persia siangpahrang Sairas mah to laom sabaenawk to angmah ih hmuenmae pakuemkung Mithredath khaeah sinsak moe, Judah siangpahrang capa Shesbazzar hanah kroeksak pacoengah paek let.
9 This was their number: thirty gold basins, one thousand silver basins, twenty-nine other basins,
To laom sabaenawk loe, sui sabae quithumto, sumkanglung sabae sangto, haita pumphae takawtto,
10 thirty gold bowls, 410 small silver bowls, and one thousand additional objects.
sui boengloeng quithumto, sumkanglung boengloeng cumvai pali, hato, kalah laom sabaenawk sangto,
11 There were 5,400 gold and silver items in all. Sheshbazzar brought all of them when the exiles went from Babylon to Jerusalem.
sui hoi sumkanglung laom sabae sungqum boih ah, sang panga, cumvai palito oh. Shesbazzar mah to hmuennawk to phawh moe, misong ah angtang kaminawk hoi nawnto Babylon hoiah Jerusalem ah amlaem o.
