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,
Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that Yahweh’s word by Jeremiah’s mouth might be accomplished, Yahweh stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it 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 ।
“Cyrus king of Persia says, ‘Yahweh, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he has commanded me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah.
3 जो उहाँका मानिसहरू हुन् (तिनका परमेश्वर तिनीसित होऊन्) तिनीहरू यरूशलेममा जान र यरूशलेममा बास गर्नुहुने इस्राएलका परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको निम्ति एउटा मन्दिर बनाउन सक्छन् ।
Whoever there is among you of all his people, may his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of Yahweh, the God of Israel (he is God), which 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 ।”
Whoever is left, in any place where he lives, let the men of his place help him with silver, with gold, with goods, and with animals, in addition to the free will offering for God’s house 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 ।
Then the heads of fathers’ households of Judah and Benjamin, the priests and the Levites, all whose spirit God had stirred to go up, rose up to build Yahweh’s house which is in Jerusalem.
6 तिनीहरूका वरिपरि भएकाहरूले तिनीहरूको कामलाई चाँदी, सुनका चिजहरू, धन-सम्पत्ति, गाईवस्तु, मुल्यवान चिजहरू र स्वेच्छा भेटीहरू दिएर सहयोग गरे ।
All those who were around them strengthened their hands with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, with animals, and with precious things, in addition to all that was willingly offered.
7 नबूकदनेसरले यरूशलेमबाट ल्याएका र आफ्ना देवताहरूको मन्दिरमा राखेका परमप्रभुको मन्दिरका चिजहरू पनि फारसका राजा कोरेस निकाले ।
Also Cyrus the king brought out the vessels of Yahweh’s house, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought out of Jerusalem, and had put in the house of his gods;
8 कोरेसले ती कोषाध्यक्ष मित्रेताको हातमा दिए जसले यहूदाका अगुवा शेशबस्सरको निम्ति ती चीजहरूको गणना गरे ।
even those, Cyrus king of Persia brought out by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and counted them out to Sheshbazzar the prince of Judah.
9 ती वस्तुहरूको सङ्ख्या यस प्रकार थिए: सुनका भाँडा तिसवटा, चाँदीका भाँडा एक हजारवटा, उनन्तिसवटा बाटा,
This is the number of them: thirty platters of gold, one thousand platters of silver, twenty-nine knives,
10 सुनका कचौरा तिसवटा, चार सय दसवटा चाँदीका स-साना कचौरा र एक हजारवटा अन्य भाँडाकुँडा ।
thirty bowls of gold, four hundred ten silver bowls of a second kind, and 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 of silver were five thousand four hundred. Sheshbazzar brought all these up when the captives were brought up from Babylon to Jerusalem.
