एज्रा 1
1 फारसका राजा कोरेसको पहिलो वर्षमा परमप्रभुले यर्मियाद्वारा बोल्नुभएको आफ्नो वचन पुरा गर्नुभयो, र कोरेसको आत्मालाई उत्तेजित पार्नुभयो । कोरेसको आदेश तिनका सारा राज्यभरि पुग्यो । लेखिएको र बोलिएको कुरो यही नै हो,
In the first year of Cyrus, king of the Persians, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus, king of the Persians, so that the word of the Lord from the mouth of Jeremiah would be fulfilled. And he sent out a voice, throughout his entire kingdom, and also in writing, saying:
2 “फारसका राजा कोरेस भन्नुहुन्छ, 'परमप्रभु स्वर्गका परमेश्वरले मलाई सारा पृथ्वीका राज्यहरू दिनुभयो, र उहाँले यहूदियाको यरूशलेममा एउटा मन्दिर निर्माण गर्नलाई मलाई नियुक्त गर्नुभयो ।
“Thus says Cyrus, the king of the Persians: The Lord, the God of heaven, has given all the kingdoms of the earth to me, and he himself has instructed me that I should build a house for him in Jerusalem, which is in Judea.
3 जो उहाँका मानिसहरू हुन् (तिनका परमेश्वर तिनीसित होऊन्) तिनीहरू यरूशलेममा जान र यरूशलेममा बास गर्नुहुने इस्राएलका परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको निम्ति एउटा मन्दिर बनाउन सक्छन् ।
Who among you is from his entire people? May his God be with him. Let him ascend to Jerusalem, which is in Judea, and let him build the house of the Lord, the God of Israel. He is the God who is in Jerusalem.
4 राज्यको कुनै पनि क्षेत्रमा भएका मानिसहरू जहाँ त्यस देशका बाँकी बचेकाहरू बसोबास गर्दैछन्, तिनीहरूले यरूशलेममा भएको परमेश्वरको मन्दिर बनाउनलाई चाँदी र सुन, धनदौलत र गाईवस्तु अनि स्वेच्छा भेटी दिनुपर्छ ।”
And let all who remain, in all the places wherever they may live, assist him, each man from his place, with silver and gold, and goods and cattle, in addition to whatever they may offer voluntarily to the temple of God, which is in Jerusalem.”
5 तब परमप्रभुको मन्दिर निर्माण गर्न परमेश्वरले उत्तेजित पार्नुभएका हरेक मानिस, यहूदा र बेन्यामीनका कुलाका प्रमुख अगुवाहरू र पुजारीहरू अनि लेवीहरू उठे ।
And the leaders of the fathers from Judah and from Benjamin, with the priests, and the Levites, and all those whose spirit was stirred by God, rose up, so that they might ascend to build the temple of the Lord, which was in Jerusalem.
6 तिनीहरूका वरिपरि भएकाहरूले तिनीहरूको कामलाई चाँदी, सुनका चिजहरू, धन-सम्पत्ति, गाईवस्तु, मुल्यवान चिजहरू र स्वेच्छा भेटीहरू दिएर सहयोग गरे ।
And all those who were all around assisted their hands with vessels of silver and gold, with goods and cattle, with equipment, in addition to whatever they had offered freely.
7 नबूकदनेसरले यरूशलेमबाट ल्याएका र आफ्ना देवताहरूको मन्दिरमा राखेका परमप्रभुको मन्दिरका चिजहरू पनि फारसका राजा कोरेस निकाले ।
Likewise, king Cyrus offered the vessels of the temple of the Lord, which Nebuchadnezzar had taken from Jerusalem and had placed in the temple of his god.
8 कोरेसले ती कोषाध्यक्ष मित्रेताको हातमा दिए जसले यहूदाका अगुवा शेशबस्सरको निम्ति ती चीजहरूको गणना गरे ।
Now Cyrus, king of Persia, offered these by the hand of Mithredath, the son of the treasurer, and he counted these out to Sheshbazzar, the leader of Judah.
9 ती वस्तुहरूको सङ्ख्या यस प्रकार थिए: सुनका भाँडा तिसवटा, चाँदीका भाँडा एक हजारवटा, उनन्तिसवटा बाटा,
And this is their number: thirty gold bowls, one thousand silver bowls, twenty-nine knives, thirty gold cups,
10 सुनका कचौरा तिसवटा, चार सय दसवटा चाँदीका स-साना कचौरा र एक हजारवटा अन्य भाँडाकुँडा ।
four hundred ten of a second kind of silver cup, one thousand other vessels.
11 सुन र चाँदीका सामानको जम्मा सङ्ख्या ५,४०० ओटा थियो । निर्वासितहरू बेबिलोनबाट यरूशलेममा फर्कंदा शेशबस्सरले ती सबै कुरा ल्याए ।
All the vessels of gold and silver were five thousand four hundred. Sheshbazzar brought all these, with those who ascended from the transmigration of Babylon, into Jerusalem.
