Esdras 1
1 En el primer año de Ciro, rey de Persia, para que se cumpliera la palabra de Yahvé por boca de Jeremías, Yahvé despertó el espíritu de Ciro, rey de Persia, de modo que hizo un anuncio por todo su reino, y lo puso también por escrito, diciendo,
Now in the first year of Cyrus, king of Persia, in order that the word of the Lord given by the mouth of Jeremiah might come true, the spirit of Cyrus, king of Persia, was moved by the Lord, so that he made a public statement through all his kingdom, and put it in writing, saying,
2 “Ciro, rey de Persia, dice: “Yahvé, el Dios del cielo, me ha dado todos los reinos de la tierra; y me ha ordenado que le construya una casa en Jerusalén, que está en Judá.
These are the words of Cyrus, king of Persia: The Lord God of heaven has given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he has made me responsible for building a house for him in Jerusalem, which is in Judah.
3 Quienquiera que haya entre ustedes de todo su pueblo, que su Dios esté con él, y que suba a Jerusalén, que está en Judá, y edifique la casa de Yahvé, el Dios de Israel (él es Dios), que está en Jerusalén.
Whoever there is among you of his people, may his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and take in hand the building of the house of the Lord, the God of Israel; he is the God who is in Jerusalem.
4 El que quede, en cualquier lugar donde viva, que los hombres de su lugar lo ayuden con plata, con oro, con bienes y con animales, además de la ofrenda voluntaria para la casa de Dios que está en Jerusalén”.
And whoever there may be of the rest of Israel, living in any place, let the men of that place give him help with offerings of silver and gold and goods and beasts, in addition to the offering freely given for the house of God in Jerusalem.
5 Entonces los jefes de familia de Judá y de Benjamín, los sacerdotes y los levitas, todos cuyos espíritus Dios había incitado a subir, se levantaron para edificar la casa de Yahvé que está en Jerusalén.
Then the heads of families of Judah and Benjamin, with the priests and the Levites, got ready, even all those whose spirits were moved by God to go up and take in hand the building of the Lord's house in Jerusalem.
6 Todos los que los rodeaban reforzaron sus manos con vasos de plata, con oro, con bienes, con animales y con cosas preciosas, además de todo lo que se ofrecía voluntariamente.
And all their neighbours gave them help with offerings of vessels of silver and gold and goods and beasts and things of great value, in addition to what was freely offered.
7 También el rey Ciro sacó los utensilios de la casa de Yahvé, que Nabucodonosor había sacado de Jerusalén y había puesto en la casa de sus dioses;
And Cyrus the king got out the vessels of the house of the Lord which Nebuchadnezzar had taken from Jerusalem and put in the house of his gods;
8 esos los sacó Ciro, rey de Persia, por mano del tesorero Mitrídates, y los contó a Sesbasar, príncipe de Judá.
Even these Cyrus made Mithredath, the keeper of his wealth, get out, and he gave them, after numbering them, to Sheshbazzar, the ruler of Judah.
9 Este es el número de ellos: treinta fuentes de oro, mil fuentes de plata, veintinueve cuchillos,
And this is the number of them: there were thirty gold plates, a thousand silver plates, twenty-nine knives,
10 treinta tazones de oro, cuatrocientos diez tazones de plata de segunda clase, y otros mil recipientes.
Thirty gold basins, four hundred and ten silver basins, and a thousand other vessels.
11 Todos los vasos de oro y de plata eran cinco mil cuatrocientos. Todo esto lo trajo Sesbasar cuando los cautivos fueron llevados de Babilonia a Jerusalén.
There were five thousand, four hundred gold and silver vessels. All these were taken back by Sheshbazzar, when those who had been taken prisoner went up from Babylon to Jerusalem.
