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 Jehovah by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, Jehovah stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so 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, All the kingdoms of the earth hath Jehovah, the God of heaven, given me; and he hath charged me to build him a house in 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.
Whosoever there is 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 Jehovah, the God of Israel (he is God), which 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 whosoever is left, 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 which 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 rose up the heads of fathers’ [houses] of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, even all whose spirit God had stirred to go up to build the house of Jehovah 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 round 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 Jehovah, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought forth out of Jerusalem, and had put 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 unto 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 bowls of gold, silver bowls 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 up, when they of the captivity were brought up from Babylon unto Jerusalem.
