1 Nʼafọ mbụ nke ọchịchị Sairọs, eze Peshịa, ime ka okwu Onyenwe anyị nke sitere nʼọnụ Jeremaya mezuo, Onyenwe anyị kpaliri mmụọ Sairọs, eze Peshịa ka o mee mkpọsa nʼalaeze ya niile, ma denyekwa ya nʼakwụkwọ iwu, sị,
And in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, at the completion of the word of YHWH from the mouth of Jeremiah, has YHWH awoken the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, and he causes an intimation to pass over into all his kingdom, and also in writing, saying,
2 “Otu a ka Sairọs, eze Peshịa kwuru, “‘Onyenwe anyị Chineke nke eluigwe, e nyela m alaeze niile nke dị nʼụwa, o nyekwala m ọrụ iwuru ya ụlọnsọ na Jerusalem, nke dị na Juda.
“Thus said Cyrus king of Persia: YHWH, God of the heavens, has given all kingdoms of the earth to me, and He has laid a charge on me to build a house for Him in Jerusalem, that [is] in Judah;
3 Ya mere, onye ya ọbụla nʼetiti ndị ya nwere ike ịga Jerusalem nke dị na Juda, gaa wuo ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị, Chineke Izrel, bụ Chineke nọ na Jerusalem. Ka Chineke ha nọnyekwara ha.
who [is] among you of all His people? His God is with him, and he goes up to Jerusalem, that [is] in Judah, and builds the house of YHWH, God of Israel (He [alone is] God), that [is] in Jerusalem.
4 Ma nʼobodo ọbụla ebe ndị fọdụrụ ndụ bi, ka ndị nọ nʼebe ahụ nye ha onyinye ọlaọcha na ọlaedo, na akụ na anụ ụlọ nʼụzọ enyemaka, tinyere onyinye afọ ofufu maka ụlọnsọ ukwu Chineke nke dị na Jerusalem.’”
And everyone who is left, of any of the places where he [is] a sojourner, the men of his place assist him 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.”
5 Mgbe ahụ, Chineke tinyere ọchịchọ ịlaghachi Jerusalem nʼobi ndịisi ezinaụlọ Juda na Benjamin na ndị nchụaja, na ndị Livayị. Ha kwadokwara ịlaghachi maka ịrụ ọrụ ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị ahụ na-atụfughị oge.
And heads of the fathers of Judah and Benjamin rise, and the priests and the Levites, even everyone whose spirit God has awoken, to go up to build the house of YHWH, that [is] in Jerusalem;
6 Ndị Juu bi na gburugburu Peshịa nyere ndị nke na-alaghachi Jerusalem onyinye ihe ọlaọcha na ọlaedo, na anụ ụlọ na ihe ndị ọzọ, na onyinye dị oke ọnụahịa dị iche iche, tinyere onyinye afọ ofufu ha.
and all those around 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 has been offered willingly.
7 Nke ka nke, eze Sairọs chịpụtara ọtụtụ ngwongwo nke ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị nke Nebukadneza sitere na Jerusalem bukọrọ gaa debe nʼụlọ chi ya.
And King Cyrus has brought out the vessels of the house of YHWH that Nebuchadnezzar has brought out of Jerusalem, and puts them in the house of his gods;
8 Sairọs bụ eze Peshịa, chịpụtara ha site nʼaka Mitredat, onye bụ odozi akụ, onye gụrụ ha ọnụ nye Sheshbaza, onye bụ onyeisi ndị Juu ahụ na-alaghachi Jerusalem na Juda.
indeed, Cyrus king of Persia brings them out by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and numbers them to Sheshbazzar the prince of Judah.
9 Nke a bụ ọnụọgụgụ ngwongwo ndị ahụ: efere ọlaedo iri atọ, efere ọlaọcha otu puku, efere ọlaọcha iri abụọ na itoolu,
And this [is] their number: dishes of gold thirty, dishes of silver one thousand, knives twenty-nine,
10 efere nta ọlaedo iri atọ, efere ọlaọcha nta narị anọ na iri, ngwongwo ndị ọzọ otu puku.
basins of gold thirty, basins of silver (seconds) four hundred and ten, other vessels one thousand.
11 Nʼime ihe ndị a niile, ọnụọgụgụ ihe e ji ọlaọcha na ọlaedo kpụọ dị puku ise na narị anọ. Sheshbaza bulatara ihe ndị a mgbe ya na ndị ahụ a dọọrọ nʼagha hapụrụ Babilọn na-alọta Jerusalem.
All the vessels of gold and of silver [are] five thousand and four hundred; the whole has Sheshbazzar brought up with the going up of the expulsion from Babylon to Jerusalem.
