21 afin que s’accomplît la parole de l’Éternel prononcée par la bouche de Jérémie; jusqu’à ce que le pays eût joui de ses sabbats, il se reposa tout le temps qu’il fut dévasté, jusqu’à l’accomplissement de soixante-dix ans.

In the first year of Cyrus king of the Persians, after the fulfillment of the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremias, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of the Persians, and told him to make proclamation in writing throughout all his kingdom, saying,
23 Ainsi parle Cyrus, roi de Perse: L’Éternel, le Dieu des cieux, m’a donné tous les royaumes de la terre, et il m’a commandé de lui bâtir une maison à Jérusalem en Juda. Qui d’entre vous est de son peuple? Que l’Éternel, son Dieu, soit avec lui, et qu’il monte!
Thus says Cyrus king of the Persians to all the kingdoms of the earth, The Lord God of heaven has given me [power], and he has commanded me to build a house to him in Jerusalem, in Judea. Who [is there] of you of all his people? His God shall be with him, and let him go up.
