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 the word of Jehovah by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, Jehovah 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 ।
Thus says Cyrus king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth has Jehovah, the God of heaven, given me, and he has charged 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, 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 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 whoever is left, 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 freewill offering for the house 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 ।
Then the heads of fathers of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, even all whose spirit God had stirred, rose up to go up to build the house of Jehovah which is 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 round about them strengthened their hands with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and with beasts, and with precious things, besides 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 forth the vessels of the house of Jehovah, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought forth 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 forth by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and numbered them to Sheshbazzar, the ruler of Judah.
9 ती वस्तुहरूको सङ्ख्या यस प्रकार थिए: सुनका भाँडा तिसवटा, चाँदीका भाँडा एक हजारवटा, उनन्तिसवटा बाटा,
And this is the number of them: thirty platters of gold, a 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 and ten silver bowls of a second sort, and a 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 and four hundred. All these Sheshbazzar brought up when those of the captivity were brought up from Babylon to Jerusalem.
