Ezras 1
1 Persiešu ķēniņa Kirus pirmā gadā, lai piepildītos Tā Kunga vārds caur Jeremijas muti, Tas Kungs pamodināja Persiešu ķēniņa Kirus garu, ka viņš ar vārdiem un arī ar grāmatām pa visu savu valsti lika izsludināt un sacīt:
During the first year that Cyrus ruled [the] Persian [Empire], he did something that fulfilled what Jeremiah had prophesied. Yahweh motivated Cyrus to write this message, and then Cyrus sent this message throughout his empire:
2 Tā saka Kirus, Persiešu ķēniņš: Tas Kungs, debesu Dievs, man devis visas pasaules valstis, un Tas man pavēlējis, Viņam namu uzcelt Jeruzālemē, Jūdu zemē.
“I, King Cyrus, who rule [the] Persian [Empire], declare this: 'Yahweh, the God [who is in/rules] from heaven, has caused me to become the ruler of all the kingdoms [that I know about] on the earth. And he has appointed me [to enable his people] to build a temple for him in Jerusalem, in Judah [land].
3 Kas nu jūsu starpā ir no Viņa ļaudīm, lai viņa Dievs ir ar to, un lai tas iet uz Jeruzālemi Jūdu zemē, un lai uzceļ Tā Kunga, Israēla Dieva, namu. Viņš ir tas Dievs, kas Jeruzālemē dzīvo.
All you people who belong to God may go up to Jerusalem to rebuild this temple for Yahweh, the God who lives in Jerusalem, the God [who is worshiped by you] Israeli people. I desire/hope that your God will be with you [and help those who go there].
4 Un kas vēl atlikuši visās vietās, kur tie piemīt, lai tās vietas ļaudis tiem palīdz ar sudrabu un zeltu un ar mantu un ar lopiem un arī ar laba prāta dāvanu priekš Jeruzālemes Dieva nama.
Those people who are in places where Israelis are living, whose ancestors were exiled here, should contribute silver and gold to those who go. They should also give them supplies [that they will need for the journey to Jerusalem]. They should also give them some livestock, and gifts of money to help build the temple of God in Jerusalem.'”
5 Tad Jūda un Benjamina cilts tēvi un priesteri un leviti cēlās ar visiem, kam Dievs garu pamodināja uz ceļu doties, uzcelt Tā Kunga namu Jeruzālemē.
Then God motivated some of the priests and (Levites/men who did work in the temple) and some of the leaders of the tribes that were descended from Judah and Benjamin to return to Jerusalem. Those whom God motivated got ready to return to Jerusalem and build the temple for Yahweh there.
6 Un visi viņu apkārtējie stiprināja viņu rokas ar sudraba traukiem, ar zeltu, ar mantu un lopiem un dārgiem zemes augļiem, bez tām labprātīgām upuru dāvanām.
All of their neighbors helped them by giving them things made of silver and things made of gold, and supplies for the journey, and livestock. They also gave them other valuable gifts, and also gave them money [to buy things for building the temple].
7 Un ķēniņš Kirus atdeva Tā Kunga nama traukus, ko NebukadNecars no Jeruzālemes bija aizvedis un nolicis sava dieva namā.
King Cyrus brought out the valuable things that King Nebuchadnezzar’s [soldiers] had taken from the temple of Yahweh in Jerusalem and put in the temple of Nebuchadnezzar’s gods [in Babylon].
8 Un Kirus, Persiešu ķēniņš, tos atdeva caur mantas sargu Mitredatu, un tas tos ieskaitīja Šešbacaram, Jūda virsniekam.
Cyrus commanded Mithredath, the treasurer of [the] Persian [Empire], to count all these items and then give them to Sheshbazzar, the leader of [the group that was going to return to] Judah.
9 Un šis ir viņu skaits: trīsdesmit zelta bļodas, tūkstoš sudraba bļodas, divdesmit deviņi naži,
This is a list of the items that Cyrus donated: 30 large gold dishes 1,000 large silver dishes 29 silver (censers/incense burning pans)
10 Trīsdesmit zelta biķeri, četrsimt desmit citi sudraba biķeri un tūkstoš citi trauki.
30 gold bowls 410 silver bowls 1,000 other items.
11 Visu zelta un sudraba trauku bija piectūkstoš četrsimt. Šos visus Šešbacars pārveda, kad tie aizvestie no Bābeles gāja atpakaļ uz Jeruzālemi.
All together, there were 5,400 items made of silver or gold, that [were given to] Sheshbazzar [to] take with him when he and the others returned to Jerusalem.
