Ezira 1
1 Mugore rokutanga raSirasi mambo wePezhia, kuti shoko raJehovha rakataurwa nomuromo waJeremia rizadziswe, Jehovha akamutsa mwoyo waSirasi mambo wePezhia, kuti aite chiziviso munyika yake yose uye akaita kuti chinyorwe chichiti:
Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the LORD’s word by Jeremiah’s mouth might be accomplished, the LORD 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 Zvanzi naSirasi mambo wePezhia: Jehovha, Mwari wokudenga akandipa ushe hwose hwapanyika uye akandigadza kuti ndimuvakire temberi paJerusarema muJudha.
“Cyrus king of Persia says, ‘The LORD, 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 Ani naani wavanhu vake ari pakati penyu, Mwari wake ngaave naye, uye regai aende zvake kuJerusarema kuJudha andovaka temberi yaJehovha, Mwari waIsraeri, iye Mwari anogara muJerusarema.
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 the LORD, the God of Israel (he is God), which is in Jerusalem.
4 Zvino vanhu vagere panzvimbo ipi neipi zvayo pagere vakasara, vanofanira kumupa sirivha negoridhe, nenhumbi nezvipfuwo, uye vagomupa zvipo zvokupa nokuzvisarudzira zvetemberi yaMwari muJerusarema.
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 Ipapo vakuru vedzimba veJudha neveBhenjamini, navaprista uye navaRevhi, vose avo vakanga vamutswa mwoyo naMwari, vakagadzirira kuenda kundovaka imba yaJehovha muJerusarema.
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 the LORD’s house which is in Jerusalem.
6 Vavakidzani vavo vose vakavabatsira nemidziyo yesirivha negoridhe, nenhumbi nezvipfuwo, uye nezvipo zvinokosha, kuwedzera pamusoro pezvipo zvokuzvisarudzira.
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 Pamusoro pezvo, Mambo Sirasi akaburitsa midziyo yomutemberi yaJehovha, iyo yakanga yatorwa kubva kuJerusarema naNebhukadhinezari uye akanga aiisa mutemberi yamwari wake.
Also Cyrus the king brought out the vessels of the LORD’s house, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought out of Jerusalem, and had put in the house of his gods;
8 Sirasi mambo wePezhia akarayira kuti ibudiswe naMitiredhati muchengeti wepfuma, uyo akaiverenga achiipa kuna Sheshibhazari muchinda weJudha.
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 Uku ndiko kuwanda kwayakanga yakaita: ndiro dzegoridhe dzaiva makumi matatu; ndiro dzesirivha dzaiva chiuru;
This is the number of them: thirty platters of gold, one thousand platters of silver, twenty-nine knives,
10 pani dzesirivha dzaiva makumi maviri namapfumbamwe; mbiya dzegoridhe dzaiva makumi matatu; mbiya dzesirivha dzakafanana-fanana dzaiva mazana mana negumi; uye mimwewo midziyo yaiva chiuru.
thirty bowls of gold, four hundred ten silver bowls of a second kind, and one thousand other vessels.
11 Yose pamwe chete, midziyo yegoridhe neyesirivha yaiva zviuru zvishanu namazana mana. Sheshibhazari akaendesa izvi zvose panguva iyo vatapwa vakabva kuBhabhironi vachienda kuJerusarema.
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.
