< Ezra 1 >
1 And in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, at the completion of the word of Jehovah from the mouth of Jeremiah, hath Jehovah waked up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, and he causeth an intimation to pass over into all his kingdom, and also in writing, saying,
Persiahene Kores afe a edi kan no mu no, Awurade kaa Kores koma ma ɔkyerɛw saa dawubɔ nsɛm yi de kɔɔ ahemman no nyinaa mu, maa Yeremia nkɔmhyɛ no baa mu.
2 'Thus said Cyrus king of Persia, All kingdoms of the earth hath Jehovah, God of the heavens, given to me, and He hath laid a charge on me to build to Him a house in Jerusalem, that [is] in Judah;
Sɛnea Persiahene Kores ka ni: Awurade, ɔsoro Nyankopɔn de ahemman a ɛwɔ asase so nyinaa ahyɛ me nsa. Wayi me sɛ minsi asɔredan mma no wɔ Yerusalem wɔ Yuda asase so.
3 who [is] among you of all His people? His God is with him, and he doth go up to Jerusalem, that [is] in Judah, and build the house of Jehovah, God of Israel — He [is] God — that [is] in Jerusalem.
Mo a moyɛ ne nkurɔfo nyinaa, monsan nkɔ Yerusalem wɔ Yuda, nsan nkosi saa Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn, a ɔte Yerusalem no asɔredan. Na mo Nyankopɔn bɛka mo ho.
4 'And every one who is left, of any of the places where he [is] a sojourner, assist him do the men of his place with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts, along with a free-will offering for the house of God, that [is] in Jerusalem.'
Wɔn a wɔtete baabiara a Yudafo nkae no wɔ no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔma Yudafo no dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ, akwantu nneɛma, nyɛmmoa ne koma pa mu afɔrebɔde a wɔde ma Onyankopɔn asɔredan a ɛwɔ Yerusalem no, de boa wɔn akwantu no.
5 And heads of the fathers of Judah and Benjamin rise, and the priests and the Levites, even every one whose spirit God hath waked, to go up to build the house of Jehovah, that [is] in Jerusalem;
Na Onyankopɔn kaa Lewifo, Yuda ne Benyamin mmusuakuw ntuanofo no koma sɛ, wɔnsan mmra Yerusalem mmesiesie Awurade asɔredan no.
6 and all those round about them have strengthened [them] with their hands, with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and with beasts, and with precious things, apart from all that hath been offered willingly.
Na wɔn afipamfo boa maa wɔn dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ ne nyɛmmoa, ma wɔde tuu kwan no. Wɔmaa wɔn akyɛde pa bebree de kaa nea efi wɔn ankasa koma mu no ho.
7 And the king Cyrus hath brought out the vessels of the house of Jehovah that Nebuchadnezzar hath brought out of Jerusalem, and putteth them in the house of his gods;
Ɔhene Kores no ankasa de aboɔdenne a ɔhene Nebukadnessar tase fii Awurade asɔredan mu wɔ Yerusalem de koguu ɔno ankasa anyame asɔredan mu no bae.
8 yea, Cyrus king of Persia bringeth them out by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and numbereth them to Sheshbazzar the prince of Judah.
Kores hyɛɛ Persia ɔsannaani Mitredat sɛ ɔnkenkan saa nneɛma no nyinaa, na ɔmfa nhyɛ wɔn a wotwaa wɔn asu a wɔresan aba Yuda no panyin Sesbasar nsa.
9 And this [is] their number: dishes of gold thirty, dishes of silver a thousand, knives nine and twenty,
Eyinom ne nneɛma a Kores de bɛkyɛe: sikakɔkɔɔ nsiase 30 dwetɛ nsiase 1,000 dwetɛ ɔhyewsɛn 29
10 basins of gold thirty, basins of silver (seconds) four hundred and ten, other vessels a thousand.
sikakɔkɔɔ hweaseammɔ 30 dwetɛ hweaseammɔ 410 nneɛma a ɛkeka ho 1,000
11 All the vessels of gold and of silver [are] five thousand and four hundred; the whole hath Sheshbazzar brought up with the going up of the removal from Babylon to Jerusalem.
Ne nyinaa mu no, sikakɔkɔɔ ne dwetɛ nneɛma a wɔde maa Sesbasar sɛ ɔmfa nkɔ Yerusalem bere a wɔn a wotwaa wɔn asu fi Babilonia baa hɔ no dodow yɛ sikakɔkɔɔ ne dwetɛ mpem anum ne ahannan.
