< Esdras 1 >

1 No primeiro anno de Cyro, rei da Persia (para que se cumprisse a palavra do Senhor, por bocca de Jeremias) despertou o Senhor o espirito de Cyro, rei da Persia o qual fez passar pregão por todo o seu reino, como tambem por escripto, dizendo:
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 Assim diz Cyro, rei da Persia: O Senhor Deus dos céus me deu todos os reinos da terra: e elle me encarregou de lhe edificar uma casa em Jerusalem, que está em Judah.
“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 Quem ha entre vós, de todo o seu povo, seja seu Deus com elle, e suba a Jerusalem, que está em Judah, e edifique a casa do Senhor, Deus d'Israel; elle é o Deus que habita em Jerusalem.
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 E todo aquelle que ficar atraz em alguns logares em que andar peregrinando, os homens do seu logar o ajudarão com prata, e com oiro, e com fazenda, e com gados, afóra das dadivas voluntarias para a casa do Senhor, que habita em Jerusalem.
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 Então se levantaram os chefes dos paes de Judah e Benjamin, e os sacerdotes e os levitas, com todos aquelles cujo espirito Deus despertou, para subirem a edificar a casa do Senhor, que está em Jerusalem.
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 E todos os que habitavam nos arredores lhes confortaram as mãos com vasos de prata, com oiro, com fazenda, e com gados, e com as coisas preciosas: afóra tudo o que voluntariamente se deu.
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 Tambem o rei Cyro tirou os vasos da casa do Senhor, que Nabucodonosor tinha trazido de Jerusalem, e que tinha posto na casa de seus deuses.
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 Estes tirou Cyro, rei da Persia, pela mão de Mithredath, o thesoureiro, que os deu por conta a Sesbazar, principe de Judah.
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 E este é o numero d'elles: trinta bacias d'oiro, mil bacias de prata, vinte e nove facas,
And this is their number: thirty gold bowls, one thousand silver bowls, twenty-nine knives, thirty gold cups,
10 Trinta taças d'oiro, mais outras quatrocentas e dez taças de prata, e mil outros vasos.
four hundred ten of a second kind of silver cup, one thousand other vessels.
11 Todos os vasos d'oiro e de prata foram cinco mil e quatrocentos: todos estes levou Sesbazar, quando os do captiveiro subiram de Babylonia para Jerusalem.
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.
