< Ezra 1 >

1 Torej v prvem letu perzijskega kralja Kira, da se je lahko izpolnila Gospodova beseda po Jeremijevih ustih, je Gospod razvnel duha perzijskega kralja Kira, da je naredil razglas po vsem svojem kraljestvu in ga položil tudi v pisanje, rekoč:
In order to fulfill the Lord's prophecy given through Jeremiah, the Lord encouraged Cyrus, king of Persia, to issue a proclamation throughout his kingdom and also to put it in writing, saying,
2 »Tako govori perzijski kralj Kir: › Gospod, Bog nebes, mi je izročil vsa kraljestva zemlje in me zadolžil, da mu zgradim hišo v Jeruzalemu, ki je v Judeji.
“This is what Cyrus king of Persia says: ‘The Lord, the God of heaven, who has given to me all the kingdoms of the earth, has given me the responsibility to build a Temple for him at Jerusalem in Judah.
3 Kdo je tam med vami izmed vsega njegovega ljudstva? Njegov Bog bo z njim in ta naj gre gor v Jeruzalem, ki je v Judeji in zgradi hišo Gospodu, Izraelovemu Bogu (on je Bog), ki je v Jeruzalemu.
Anyone among you who belongs to his people can go to Jerusalem in Judah to rebuild this Temple of the Lord, the God of Israel, who lives in Jerusalem. May your God be with you.
4 Kdorkoli pa ostaja na kateremkoli kraju, kjer začasno biva, naj mu možje iz njegovega kraja pomagajo s srebrom, z zlatom, z dobrinami in z živalmi, poleg prostovoljnih daritev za Božjo hišo, ki je v Jeruzalemu.‹«
Wherever survivors are currently living, let them be helped by the people that region with silver, gold, goods, and livestock, together with a voluntary donation for God's Temple in Jerusalem.’”
5 Potem so vstali vodja očetov Juda in Benjamina, duhovniki in Lévijevci, z vsemi tistimi, ki jih je dvignil Božji duh, da gredo gor gradit Gospodovo hišo, ki je v Jeruzalemu.
Then God encouraged the family leaders of Judah and Benjamin, as well as the priests and Levites to go and rebuild the Lord's Temple in Jerusalem.
6 Vsi, ki so bili okoli njih, so svoje roke okrepili s posodami iz srebra, z zlatom, z dobrinami in z živalmi in z dragocenimi stvarmi, poleg vsega, kar so prostovoljno darovali.
All their neighbors supported them with gifts of silver and gold, with goods and livestock, and with other valuable items, in addition to all their voluntary donations.
7 Tudi kralj Kir je prinesel posode iz Gospodove hiše, ki jih je Nebukadnezar prinesel iz Jeruzalema in jih postavil v hišo svojih bogov,
King Cyrus also retrieved the items belonging to the Lord's Temple that Nebuchadnezzar had taken from Jerusalem and placed in the temple of his god.
8 celo tiste je perzijski kralj Kir prinesel naprej po roki zakladnika Mitridáta in jih odštel Judovemu princu Šešbacárju.
Cyrus had Mithredath the treasurer retrieve them, who counted them and gave them to Sheshbazzar, the leader of Judah.
9 To je njihovo število: trideset velikih pladnjev iz zlata, tisoč velikih pladnjev iz srebra, devetindvajset nožev,
This was the list: 30 gold basins, 1,000 silver basins, 29 silver silverware,
10 trideset umivalnikov iz zlata, srebrnih umivalnikov druge vrste štiristo deset in tisoč drugih posod.
30 gold bowls, 410 matching silver bowls, and 1,000 other items.
11 Vseh posod iz zlata in iz srebra je bilo pet tisoč štiristo. Vse te je Šešbacár prinesel gor s tistimi iz ujetništva, ki so bili iz Babilona privedeni gor v Jeruzalem.
In total there were 5,400 gold and silver items. When the exiles left Babylon to go to Jerusalem Sheshbazzar took all these along with them.
