Esdræ 1
1 in anno primo Cyri regis Persarum ut conpleretur verbum Domini ex ore Hieremiae suscitavit Dominus spiritum Cyri regis Persarum et transduxit vocem in universo regno suo etiam per scripturam dicens
In the first year of Cyrus, king of Persia, to fulfil the word of Yahweh from the mouth of Jeremiah, Yahweh aroused the spirit of Cyrus, king of Persia, and he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, moreover also in writing, saying:
2 haec dicit Cyrus rex Persarum omnia regna terrae dedit mihi Dominus Deus caeli et ipse praecepit mihi ut aedificarem ei domum in Hierusalem quae est in Iudaea
Thus, saith Cyrus, king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth, hath Yahweh God of the heavens, given to me, —and, he himself, hath laid charge upon me, to build for him a house, in Jerusalem, which is in Judah.
3 quis est in vobis de universo populo eius sit Deus illius cum ipso ascendat Hierusalem quae est in Iudaea et aedificet domum Domini Dei Israhel ipse est Deus qui est in Hierusalem
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 Yahweh God of Israel, (he, is 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 Hierusalem
And, whosoever is left, of all the places where he doth sojourn, let the men of his place uphold him, with silver and with gold, and with goods and with beasts, —along with a voluntary offering for the house of God, which is in Jerusalem.
5 et surrexerunt principes patrum de Iuda et Beniamin et sacerdotes et Levitae omnis cuius suscitavit Deus spiritum ut ascenderent ad aedificandum templum Domini quod erat in Hierusalem
Then arose the ancestral chiefs of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, —even every one whose spirit God had aroused, to go up to build the house of Yahweh, which was in Jerusalem;
6 universique qui erant in circuitu adiuverunt manus eorum in vasis argenteis et aureis in substantia in iumentis in supellectili exceptis his quae sponte obtulerunt
and, all they who were round about them, strengthened their hands, with utensils of silver, with gold with goods and with beasts, and with precious things, —besides any thing he had volunteered.
7 rex quoque Cyrus protulit vasa templi Domini quae tulerat Nabuchodonosor de Hierusalem et posuerat ea in templo dei sui
And, King Cyrus, brought forth the utensils of the house of Yahweh, —which Nebuchadnezzar had brought forth from Jerusalem, and put in the house of his gods: —
8 protulit autem ea Cyrus rex Persarum per manum Mitridatis filii Gazabar et adnumeravit ea Sasabassar principi Iudae
yea Cyrus king of Persia brought them forth, by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, —and numbered them unto Sheshbazzar, a leader of Judah.
9 et hic est numerus eorum fialae aureae triginta fialae argenteae mille cultri viginti novem scyphi aurei triginta
And, these, were the numbers of them, —basins of gold, thirty, basins of silver, a thousand, knives, twenty-nine;
10 scyphi argentei secundi quadringenti decem vasa alia mille
bowls of gold, thirty, bowls of silver, of a secondary sort, four hundred and ten, —other utensils, a thousand.
11 omnia vasa aurea et argentea quinque milia quadringenta universa tulit Sasabassar cum his qui ascendebant de transmigratione Babylonis in Hierusalem
All the utensils, in gold and silver, were five thousand and four hundred, —the whole, did Sheshbazzar bring up with the upbringing of the exile, out of Babylon unto Jerusalem.
