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 fulfill the word of the LORD spoken through Jeremiah, the LORD stirred the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia to send a proclamation throughout his kingdom and to put it in writing as follows:
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.
“This is what Cyrus king of Persia says: ‘The LORD, the God of heaven, who has given me all the kingdoms of the earth, has appointed me to build a house for Him at Jerusalem 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.
Whoever among you belongs to His people, may his God be with him, and may he go to Jerusalem in Judah and build the house of the LORD, the God of Israel; He is the God who 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 let every survivor, wherever he lives, be assisted by the men of that region with silver, gold, goods, and livestock, along with a freewill offering for the house of God 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.
So the family heads of Judah and Benjamin, along with the priests and Levites—everyone whose spirit God had stirred—prepared to go up and rebuild the house of the LORD 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 their neighbors supported them with articles of silver and gold, with goods and livestock, and with valuables, in addition to all their freewill offerings.
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.
King Cyrus also brought out the articles belonging to the house of the LORD that Nebuchadnezzar had carried away from Jerusalem and placed in the temple of his gods.
8 Inyawat dagitoy ni Cyrus kenni Mitredat a tesorero a nangbilang kadagitoy para kenni Sesbasar a pangulo ti Judea.
Cyrus king of Persia had them brought out by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, who counted them out to Sheshbazzar the prince 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,
This was the inventory: 30 gold dishes, 1,000 silver dishes, 29 silver utensils,
10 tallopulo a balitok a mallukong, 410 a babassit a mallukong a pirak ken sangaribo a dadduma pay a banbanag.
30 gold bowls, 410 matching silver bowls, and 1,000 other articles.
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.
In all, there were 5,400 gold and silver articles. Sheshbazzar brought all these along when the exiles went up from Babylon to Jerusalem.
