< 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 the first year of Cyrus, king of Persia, Yahweh fulfilled his word that came from the mouth of Jeremiah, and stirred Cyrus's spirit. Cyrus' voice went out over his entire kingdom. This is what was written and spoken:
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.
“Cyrus, king of Persia, says: Yahweh, God of Heaven, gave me all the kingdoms of the earth, and he appointed me to build for him a house in Jerusalem in Judea.
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.
Whoever is from his people (may his God be with him) may go up to Jerusalem and build a house for Yahweh, the God of Israel, the God who is in Jerusalem.
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.‹«
People of any part of the kingdom where survivors of that land are living should provide them with silver and gold, possessions and animals, as well as a freewill offering for God's house 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 the heads of the ancestors' clans of Judah and Benjamin, the priests and Levites, and everyone whose spirit God stirred to go and build his house arose.
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.
Those around them supported their work with silver and gold objects, possessions, animals, valuables, and freewill offerings.
7 Tudi kralj Kir je prinesel posode iz Gospodove hiše, ki jih je Nebukadnezar prinesel iz Jeruzalema in jih postavil v hišo svojih bogov,
Cyrus king of Persia also released the objects belonging to Yahweh's house that Nebuchadnezzar had brought from Jerusalem and put in his own gods' houses.
8 celo tiste je perzijski kralj Kir prinesel naprej po roki zakladnika Mitridáta in jih odštel Judovemu princu Šešbacárju.
Cyrus put them into the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, who counted them out for Sheshbazzar, Judea's leader.
9 To je njihovo število: trideset velikih pladnjev iz zlata, tisoč velikih pladnjev iz srebra, devetindvajset nožev,
This was their number: thirty gold basins, one thousand silver basins, twenty-nine other basins,
10 trideset umivalnikov iz zlata, srebrnih umivalnikov druge vrste štiristo deset in tisoč drugih posod.
thirty gold bowls, 410 small silver bowls, and one thousand additional objects.
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.
There were 5,400 gold and silver items in all. Sheshbazzar brought all of them when the exiles went from Babylon to Jerusalem.
