1 In anno primo Cyri regis Persarum ut compleretur verbum Domini ex ore Ieremiæ, suscitavit Dominus spiritum Cyri regis Persarum: et traduxit vocem in omni regno suo, etiam per scripturam, dicens:
Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of Yhwh by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, Yhwh 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 Hæc dicit Cyrus rex Persarum: Omnia regna terræ dedit mihi Dominus Deus cæli, et ipse præcepit mihi ut ædificarem ei domum in Ierusalem, quæ est in Iudæa.
Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, Yhwh 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 Quis est in vobis de universo populo eius? Sit Deus illius cum ipso. Ascendat in Ierusalem, quæ est in Iudæa, et ædificet domum Domini Dei Israel, ipse est Deus qui est in Ierusalem.
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 Yhwh God of Israel, (he is the God, ) which is in Jerusalem.
4 Et omnes reliqui in cunctis locis ubicumque habitant, adiuvent eum viri de loco suo argento et auro, et substantia, et pecoribus, excepto quod voluntarie offerunt templo Dei, quod est in Ierusalem.
And whosoever 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, beside the freewill offering for the house of God that is in Jerusalem.
5 Et surrexerunt principes patrum de Iuda, et Beniamin, et Sacerdotes, et Levitæ, et omnis, cuius Deus suscitavit spiritum, ut ascenderent ad ædificandum templum Domini, quod erat in Ierusalem.
Then rose up the chief 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 Yhwh which is in Jerusalem.
6 Universique qui erant in circuitu, adiuverunt manus eorum in vasis argenteis et aureis, in substantia et iumentis, in supellectili, exceptis his, quæ sponte obtulerant.
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, beside all that was willingly offered.
7 Rex quoque Cyrus protulit vasa templi Domini, quæ tulerat Nabuchodonosor de Ierusalem, et posuerat ea in templo dei sui.
Also Cyrus the king brought forth the vessels of the house of Yhwh, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought forth out of Jerusalem, and had put them in the house of his gods;
8 Protulit autem ea Cyrus rex Persarum per manum Mithridatis filii gazabar, et annumeravit ea Sassabasar principi Iuda.
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 Et hic est numerus eorum: phialæ aureæ triginta, phialæ argenteæ mille, cultri viginti novem, scyphi aurei triginta,
And this is the number of them: thirty chargers of gold, a thousand chargers of silver, nine and twenty knives,
10 scyphi argentei secundi quadringenti decem: vasa alia mille.
Thirty basons of gold, silver basons of a second sort four hundred and ten, and other vessels a thousand.
11 Omnia vasa aurea et argentea quinque millia quadringenta: universa tulit Sassabasar cum his, qui ascendebant de transmigratione Babylonis in Ierusalem.
All the vessels of gold and of silver were five thousand and four hundred. All these did Sheshbazzar bring up with them of the captivity that were brought up from Babylon unto Jerusalem.
