Esdras 1
1 Para que se cumpliera la profecía del Señor dada a través de Jeremías, el Señor animó a Ciro, rey de Persia, a emitir una proclama en todo su reino y también a ponerla por escrito, diciendo:
Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,
2 “Esto es lo que dice Ciro, rey de Persia: ‘El Señor, el Dios de los cielos, que me ha dado todos los reinos de la tierra, me ha dado la responsabilidad de construirle un Templo en Jerusalén, en Judá.
Thus says Cyrus king of Persia, The LORD God of heaven has given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he has charged me to build him an house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah.
3 Cualquiera de ustedes que pertenezca a su pueblo puede ir a Jerusalén, en Judá, para reconstruir este Templo del Señor, el Dios de Israel, que vive en Jerusalén. Que su Dios esté con ustedes.
Who is there 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 the LORD God of Israel, (he is the God, ) which is in Jerusalem.
4 Donde quiera que los sobrevivientes vivan actualmente, que sean ayudados por la gente de esa región con plata, oro, bienes y ganado, junto con una donación voluntaria para el Templo de Dios en Jerusalén’”.
And whoever remains 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, beside the freewill offering for the house of God that is in Jerusalem.
5 Entonces Dios animó a los jefes de familia de Judá y Benjamín, así como a los sacerdotes y a los levitas, a ir y reconstruir el Templo del Señor en Jerusalén.
Then rose up the chief of the fathers of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, with all them whose spirit God had raised, to go up to build the house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem.
6 Todos sus vecinos les apoyaron con regalos de plata y oro, con bienes y ganado, y con otros objetos de valor, además de todas sus donaciones voluntarias.
And all they that were about them strengthened their hands with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and with beasts, and with precious things, beside all that was willingly offered.
7 El rey Ciro también recuperó los objetos pertenecientes al Templo del Señor que Nabucodonosor había tomado de Jerusalén y colocado en el templo de su dios.
Also Cyrus the king brought forth the vessels of the house of the LORD, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought forth out of Jerusalem, and had put them in the house of his gods;
8 Ciro hizo que Mitrídates, el tesorero, los recuperara, los contara y se los diera a Sesbasar, que era el líder de Judá.
Even those did Cyrus king of Persia bring forth by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and numbered them to Sheshbazzar, the prince of Judah.
9 Esta era la lista: 30 cuencas de oro, 1.000 cuencas de plata, 29 cubiertos de plata,
And this is the number of them: thirty chargers of gold, a thousand chargers of silver, nine and twenty knives,
10 30 cuencos de oro, 410 cuencos de plata a juego y otros 1.000 artículos.
Thirty basins of gold, silver basins of a second sort four hundred and ten, and other vessels a thousand.
11 En total había 5.400 objetos de oro y plata. Cuando los exiliados salieron de Babilonia para ir a Jerusalén Sesbasar se llevó todo esto con ellos.
All the vessels of gold and of silver were five thousand and four hundred. All these did Sheshbazzar bring up with them of the captivity that were brought up from Babylon to Jerusalem.
