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:
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 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 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 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.
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 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 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 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.
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 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 vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and with beasts, and with precious things, beside 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.
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 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.
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 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 and four hundred. All these did Sheshbazzar bring up with them of the captivity that were brought up from Babylon unto Jerusalem.
