< Ezra 1 >

1 Iti umuna a tawen a panagturay ni Cyrus a kas ari iti Persia, tinungpal ni Yahweh ti saona a nagtaud iti ngiwat ni Jeremias, ken tinignayna ti espiritu ni Cyrus. Naiwaragawag ti sao ni Cyrus iti entero a pagarianna. Kastoy ti naisurat ken naisao:
In the first year of Cyrus, king of Persia, to fulfil the word of Yahweh from the mouth of Jeremiah, Yahweh aroused the spirit of Cyrus, king of Persia, and he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, moreover also in writing, saying:
2 “Kinuna ni Cyrus nga ari ti Persia: Ni Yahweh a Dios ti Langit ti nangted kaniak kadagiti amin a pagarian iti daga ket dinutokannak a mangibangon iti balayna a maipaay kenkuana idiay Jerusalem iti Judea.
Thus, saith Cyrus, king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth, hath Yahweh God of the heavens, given to me, —and, he himself, hath laid charge upon me, to build for him a house, in Jerusalem, which is in Judah.
3 Siasinoman kadakayo ti nagtaud kadagiti tattaona, ti Diosna koma ti makikadua kenkuana tapno makaapan isuna idiay Jerusalem a mangbangon iti balay ni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel, nga isu ti Dios ti Jerusalem.
Who is there among you of all his people? His God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, —and build the house of Yahweh God of Israel, (he, is God!) which is in Jerusalem;
4 Dagiti tattao iti sadinoman a paset iti pagarian a pagnanaedan dagiti nakalasat iti dayta a daga ket masapul a mangipaayda kadakuada iti pirak ken balitok, sanikua ken ay-ayup, ken maysa a sagut a maidatag iti balay ti Dios idiay Jerusalem.”Kasapulan a mangipaay
And, whosoever is left, of all the places where he doth sojourn, let the men of his place uphold him, with silver and with gold, and with goods and with beasts, —along with a voluntary offering for the house of God, which is in Jerusalem.
5 Kalpasanna, nagrubuat dagiti pangulo kadagiti puli dagiti kapuonan ti Juda ken Benjamin, dagiti papadi ken dagiti Levita, ken dagiti amin a tinignay ti Dios ti espirituna a mapan mangbangon iti balayna.
Then arose the ancestral chiefs of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, —even every one whose spirit God had aroused, to go up to build the house of Yahweh, which was in Jerusalem;
6 Timmulong kadagiti trabahoda dagiti tattao iti aglawlawda babaen kadagiti pirak ken balitok a banbanag, sanikua, ay-ayup, ken napateg a banbanag ken naimpusoan a sagut.
and, all they who were round about them, strengthened their hands, with utensils of silver, with gold with goods and with beasts, and with precious things, —besides any thing he had volunteered.
7 Insubli pay ni Ari Cyrus dagiti banbanag nga innala idi ni Nebucadnesar a maus-usar iti balay ni Yahweh idiay Jerusalem ken inkabilna iti balay dagiti didiosna.
And, King Cyrus, brought forth the utensils of the house of Yahweh, —which Nebuchadnezzar had brought forth from Jerusalem, and put in the house of his gods: —
8 Inyawat dagitoy ni Cyrus kenni Mitredat a tesorero a nangbilang kadagitoy para kenni Sesbasar a pangulo ti Judea.
yea Cyrus king of Persia brought them forth, by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, —and numbered them unto Sheshbazzar, a leader of Judah.
9 Daytoy ti bilang dagitoy: Tallopulo a balitok a palanggana, sangaribo a pirak a palanggana, duapulo ket siam a sabali pay a palanggana,
And, these, were the numbers of them, —basins of gold, thirty, basins of silver, a thousand, knives, twenty-nine;
10 tallopulo a balitok a mallukong, 410 a babassit a mallukong a pirak ken sangaribo a dadduma pay a banbanag.
bowls of gold, thirty, bowls of silver, of a secondary sort, four hundred and ten, —other utensils, a thousand.
11 Agdagup amin iti 5, 400 a balitok ken pirak nga alikamen. Intugot amin dagitoy ni Sesbasar idi nagsubli idiay Jerusalem dagiti naipanaw a kas balud manipud Babilonia.
All the utensils, in gold and silver, were five thousand and four hundred, —the whole, did Sheshbazzar bring up with the upbringing of the exile, out of Babylon unto Jerusalem.
