Ezra 1
1 Pada tahun pertama zaman Koresh, raja negeri Persia, TUHAN menggerakkan hati Koresh, raja Persia itu untuk menggenapkan firman yang diucapkan oleh Yeremia, sehingga disiarkan di seluruh kerajaan Koresh secara lisan dan tulisan pengumuman ini:
Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,
2 "Beginilah perintah Koresh, raja Persia: Segala kerajaan di bumi telah dikaruniakan kepadaku oleh TUHAN, Allah semesta langit. Ia menugaskan aku untuk mendirikan rumah bagi-Nya di Yerusalem, yang terletak di Yehuda.
Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, The LORD God of heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he hath charged me to build him an house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah.
3 Siapa di antara kamu termasuk umat-Nya, Allahnya menyertainya! Biarlah ia berangkat pulang ke Yerusalem, yang terletak di Yehuda, dan mendirikan rumah TUHAN. Allah Israel, yakni Allah yang diam di Yerusalem.
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 the LORD God of Israel, (he is the God, ) who is in Jerusalem.
4 Dan setiap orang yang tertinggal, di manapun ia ada sebagai pendatang, harus disokong oleh penduduk setempat dengan perak dan emas, harta benda dan ternak, di samping persembahan sukarela bagi rumah Allah yang ada di Yerusalem."
And whoever remaineth in any place where he sojourneth, let the men of his place help him with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts, besides the freewill offering for the house of God that is in Jerusalem.
5 Maka berkemaslah kepala-kepala kaum keluarga orang Yehuda dan orang Benyamin, serta para imam dan orang-orang Lewi, yakni setiap orang yang hatinya digerakkan Allah untuk berangkat pulang dan mendirikan rumah TUHAN yang ada di Yerusalem.
Then arose the heads of the fathers of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, with all them whose spirit God had raised, to go up to build the house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem.
6 Dan segala orang di sekeliling mereka membantu mereka dengan barang-barang perak, dengan emas, harta benda dan ternak dan dengan pemberian yang indah-indah, selain dari segala sesuatu yang dipersembahkan dengan sukarela.
And all they that were about them strengthened their hands with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and with beasts, and with precious things, besides all that was willingly offered.
7 Pula raja Koresh menyuruh mengeluarkan perlengkapan rumah TUHAN yang telah diangkut Nebukadnezar dari Yerusalem dan yang ditaruhnya di dalam kuil allahnya.
Also Cyrus the king brought forth the vessels of the house of the LORD, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought from Jerusalem, and had put them in the house of his gods;
8 Koresh, raja Persia itu, menyuruh mengeluarkan semuanya itu di bawah pengawasan Mitredat, bendahara raja, yang menghitung seluruhnya bagi Sesbazar, pembesar di Yehuda.
Even those did Cyrus king of Persia bring forth by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and numbered them to Sheshbazzar, the prince of Judah.
9 Inilah daftarnya: tiga puluh bokor emas, seribu bokor perak, dua puluh sembilan pisau,
And this is the number of them: thirty platters of gold, a thousand platters of silver, nine and twenty knives,
10 tiga puluh piala emas, pula empat ratus sepuluh piala perak, seribu buah barang-barang lain.
Thirty basins of gold, silver basins of a second sort four hundred and ten, and other vessels a thousand.
11 Barang-barang emas dan perak itu seluruhnya berjumlah lima ribu empat ratus. Semuanya itu dibawa oleh Sesbazar sewaktu orang-orang buangan itu dibawa pulang dari negeri Babel ke Yerusalem.
All the vessels of gold and of silver were five thousand and four hundred. All these did Sheshbazzar bring with them of the captivity that were brought from Babylon to Jerusalem.
