Ezra 1
1 Ary tamin’ ny taona voalohany nanjakan’ i Kyrosy, mpanjakan’ i Persia, dia notairin’ i Jehovah ny fanahin’ i Kyrosy, mpanjakan’ i Persia, mba hanatanteraka ny tenin’ i Jehovah izay nampilazainy an’ i Jeremia, ka dia nandefa teny eran’ ny fanjakany rehetra izy, sady nataony an-tsoratra koa izany hoe:
And 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, and he made a proclamation throughout his kingdom, and also in writing, saying,
2 Izao no lazain’ i Kyrosy, mpanjakan’ i Persia: Ny fanjakana rehetra ambonin’ ny tany dia efa nomen’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny lanitra, ahy; ary Izy efa nandidy ahy hanao trano ho Azy any Jerosalema izay any Joda.
Thus says Cyrus king of Persia: All the kingdoms of the earth has Jehovah the God of the heavens given to me, and he has charged me to build him a house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah.
3 Koa iza avy moa aminareo rehetra no olony? Andriamaniny anie homba azy, fa aoka hiakatra any Jerosalema izay any Joda izy ka hanao ny tranon’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, Izy no Andriamanitra Izay any Jerosalema.
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 at Jerusalem.
4 Ary na iza na iza sisa tratra, dia aoka ny tompon-tany ao amin’ izay ivahiniany hanome azy volafotsy sy volamena sy fanaka ary biby fiompy mbamin’ ny fanati-tsitrapo ho an’ ny tranon’ Andriamanitra, izay any Jerosalema.
And whosoever remains in any place where he sojourns, let the men of his place help him with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts, besides the voluntary offering for the house of God which is at Jerusalem.
5 Dia niainga ny lohan’ ny firenen’ i Joda sy Benjamina sy ny mpisorona sy ny Levita, dia izay rehetra efa namporisihin’ Andriamanitra hiakatra hanao ny tranon’ i Jehovah any Jerosalema.
And the chief fathers of Judah and Benjamin rose up, and the priests, and the Levites, even all those whose spirit God had stirred, to go up to build the house of Jehovah which is at Jerusalem.
6 Ary izay rehetra manodidina dia nampahery ny tànan’ ireo tamin’ ny fanaka volafotsy sy volamena sy fanaka hafa sy biby fiompy ary zava-tsoa mbamin’ izay rehetra nateriny tamin’ ny sitrapo.
And all they that were about them strengthened their hands with articles of silver, with gold, with goods, and with beasts, and with precious things, besides all that was willingly offered.
7 Dia navoak’ i Kyrosy mpanjaka ny fanaky ny tranon’ i Jehovah, izay efa nalain’ i Nebokadnezara tany Jerosalema ka efa nataony tao an-tranon’ ireo andriamaniny.
And king Cyrus 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 god.
8 Ary Mitredata, mpitahiry ny haren’ ny fanjakana, dia nasain’ i Kyrosy, mpanjakan’ i Persia; namoaka ireny, ka nisainy sady natolony an’ i Sesbazara, lehiben’ ny firenen’ i Joda.
And Cyrus king of Persia brought them forth by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, who counted them out to Sheshbazzar the prince of Judah.
9 Ary izao no isany: Lovia volamena telo-polo, lovia volafotsy arivo, antsy sivy amby roa-polo,
And this is the number of them: thirty chargers of gold, a thousand chargers of silver, nine-and-twenty knives,
10 kapoaka volamena misarona telo-polo, lovia volafotsy manarakaraka folo amby efa-jato, ary lovia hafa koa arivo;
thirty basons of gold, silver basons of a second [sort] four hundred and ten, [and] other vessels a thousand.
11 efa-jato amby dimy arivo no isan’ ny fanaka volamena sy volafotsy rehetra. Ireo rehetra ireo dia nentin’ i Sesbazara niaraka nankany Jerosalema tamin’ ny babo izay niverina avy tany Babylona.
All the vessels of gold and of silver were five thousand four hundred. The whole did Sheshbazzar bring up, when they of the captivity were brought up from Babylon to Jerusalem.
