Now in the first year of Koresh king of Persia, that the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Koresh king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,
2 “Kurusu, mũthamaki wa Perisia ekuuga ũũ: “‘Jehova, Ngai wa igũrũ, nĩaheete mothamaki mothe ma thĩ, na nĩanyamũrĩte ndĩmwakĩre hekarũ kũu Jerusalemu bũrũri wa Juda.
"Thus says Koresh king of Persia, 'The LORD, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he has commanded me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah.
3 Mũndũ wake o na ũrĩkũ ũrĩ thĩinĩ wanyu, Ngai wake aroikara hamwe nake, nĩambate athiĩ Jerusalemu kũu Juda, na aake hekarũ ya Jehova, Ngai wa Isiraeli, o we Ngai ũcio ũrĩ kũu Jerusalemu.
Whoever there is among you of all his people, may his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of the LORD, the God of Israel (he is God), which is in Jerusalem.
4 Na rĩrĩ, andũ a kũndũ o guothe kũrĩa matigari mangĩkorwo marĩ, nĩ mamũhe betha na thahabu, na indo na mahiũ, na mĩhothi ya kwĩyendera nĩ ũndũ wa hekarũ ya Ngai ĩrĩa ĩrĩ kũu Jerusalemu.’”
Whoever is left, in any place where he lives, let the men of his place help him with silver, with gold, with goods, and with animals, besides the freewill offering for God's house which is in Jerusalem.'"
5 Hĩndĩ ĩyo atongoria a nyũmba ya Juda na ya Benjamini, na athĩnjĩri-Ngai na Alawii, arĩa othe Ngai aarahũrire ngoro ciao, makĩĩhaarĩria gũthiĩ magaake nyũmba ya Jehova kũu Jerusalemu.
Then the heads of ancestral houses of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, even all whose spirit God had stirred to go up rose up to build the house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem.
6 Andũ othe a matũũra mao makĩmateithĩrĩria na indo cia betha na cia thahabu, na indo ingĩ na mahiũ, na iheo cia goro, makĩria ya mĩhothi ĩrĩa yarutĩtwo ya kwĩyendera.
All those who were around them strengthened their hands with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and with animals, and with precious things, besides all that was willingly offered.
7 Ningĩ Mũthamaki Kurusu akĩruta indo iria ciarĩ cia hekarũ ya Jehova, iria ciatahĩtwo nĩ Nebukadinezaru kuuma Jerusalemu ikaigwo thĩinĩ wa hekarũ ya ngai yake.
Also Koresh the king brought forth the vessels of the house of the LORD, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought out of Jerusalem, and had put in the house of his gods;
8 Kurusu mũthamaki wa Perisia nĩatũmire Mithiredathu ũrĩa mũigi wa kĩgĩĩna arehe indo icio, agĩcitarĩra Sheshibazaru mũnene wa Juda.
even those, Koresh king of Persia brought out by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and numbered them to Sheshbazzar, the prince of Judah.
9 Indo icio ciatariĩ ta ũũ: thaani nene cia thahabu ciarĩ 30 thaani nene cia betha ciarĩ 1,000 ngĩo cia betha ciarĩ 29
This is the number of them: thirty platters of gold, one thousand platters of silver, twenty-nine knives,
10 mbakũri cia thahabu ciarĩ 30 mbakũri ihaanaine cia betha ciarĩ 410 na indo ingĩ ciarĩ 1,000.
thirty bowls of gold, silver bowls of a second sort four hundred and ten, and other vessels one thousand.

All the vessels of gold and of silver were five thousand and four hundred. Sheshbazzar brought all these up, when the captives were brought up from Babylon to Jerusalem.
