< 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 the Persians, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus, king of the Persians, so that the word of the Lord from the mouth of Jeremiah would be fulfilled. And he sent out a voice, throughout his entire kingdom, and 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 says Cyrus, the king of the Persians: The Lord, the God of heaven, has given all the kingdoms of the earth to me, and he himself has instructed me that I should build a house for him in Jerusalem, which is in Judea.
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 among you is from his entire people? May his God be with him. Let him ascend to Jerusalem, which is in Judea, and let him 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 all who remain, in all the places wherever they may live, assist him, each man from his place, with silver and gold, and goods and cattle, in addition to whatever they may offer voluntarily to the temple 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.
And the leaders of the fathers from Judah and from Benjamin, with the priests, and the Levites, and all those whose spirit was stirred by God, rose up, so that they might ascend to build the temple of the Lord, 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 those who were all around assisted their hands with vessels of silver and gold, with goods and cattle, with equipment, in addition to whatever they had offered freely.
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.
Likewise, king Cyrus offered the vessels of the temple of the Lord, which Nebuchadnezzar had taken from Jerusalem and had placed in the temple of his god.
8 Inyawat dagitoy ni Cyrus kenni Mitredat a tesorero a nangbilang kadagitoy para kenni Sesbasar a pangulo ti Judea.
Now Cyrus, king of Persia, offered these by the hand of Mithredath, the son of the treasurer, and he counted these out to Sheshbazzar, the 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 this is their number: thirty gold bowls, one thousand silver bowls, twenty-nine knives, thirty gold cups,
10 tallopulo a balitok a mallukong, 410 a babassit a mallukong a pirak ken sangaribo a dadduma pay a banbanag.
four hundred ten of a second kind of silver cup, one thousand other vessels.
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 vessels of gold and silver were five thousand four hundred. Sheshbazzar brought all these, with those who ascended from the transmigration of Babylon, into Jerusalem.
