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 order to fulfill the Lord's prophecy given through Jeremiah, the Lord encouraged Cyrus, king of Persia, to issue a proclamation throughout his kingdom and also to put it 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.
“This is what Cyrus king of Persia says: ‘The Lord, the God of heaven, who has given to me all the kingdoms of the earth, has given me the responsibility to build a Temple 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.
Anyone among you who belongs to his people can go to Jerusalem in Judah to rebuild this Temple of the Lord, the God of Israel, who lives in Jerusalem. May your God be with you.
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
Wherever survivors are currently living, let them be helped by the people that region with silver, gold, goods, and livestock, together with a voluntary donation for God's Temple 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 God encouraged the family leaders of Judah and Benjamin, as well as the priests and Levites to go and rebuild the Lord's Temple 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.
All their neighbors supported them with gifts of silver and gold, with goods and livestock, and with other valuable items, in addition to all their voluntary donations.
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 retrieved the items belonging to the Lord's Temple that Nebuchadnezzar had taken from Jerusalem and 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.
Cyrus had Mithredath the treasurer retrieve them, who counted them and gave them 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,
This was the list: 30 gold basins, 1,000 silver basins, 29 silver silverware,
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 items.
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 total there were 5,400 gold and silver items. When the exiles left Babylon to go to Jerusalem Sheshbazzar took all these along with them.
