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,
In the first year of Cyrus, king of the Persians, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus, king of the Persians, so that the word of the Lord from the mouth of Jeremiah would be fulfilled. And he sent out a voice, throughout his entire kingdom, and also 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.
“Thus says Cyrus, the king of the Persians: The Lord, the God of heaven, has given all the kingdoms of the earth to me, and he himself has instructed me that I should build a house for him in Jerusalem, which is in Judea.
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.
Who among you is from his entire people? May his God be with him. Let him ascend to Jerusalem, which is in Judea, and let him build 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 let all who remain, in all the places wherever they may live, assist him, each man from his place, with silver and gold, and goods and cattle, in addition to whatever they may offer voluntarily to the temple of God, which is 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.
And the leaders of the fathers from Judah and from Benjamin, with the priests, and the Levites, and all those whose spirit was stirred by God, rose up, so that they might ascend to build the temple of the Lord, which was 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 those who were all around assisted their hands with vessels of silver and gold, with goods and cattle, with equipment, in addition to whatever they had offered freely.
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;
Likewise, king Cyrus offered the vessels of the temple of the Lord, which Nebuchadnezzar had taken from Jerusalem and had placed in the temple of his god.
8 esos los sacó Ciro, rey de Persia, por mano del tesorero Mitrídates, y los contó a Sesbasar, príncipe de Judá.
Now Cyrus, king of Persia, offered these by the hand of Mithredath, the son of the treasurer, and he counted these out to Sheshbazzar, the leader of Judah.
9 Este es el número de ellos: treinta fuentes de oro, mil fuentes de plata, veintinueve cuchillos,
And this is their number: thirty gold bowls, one thousand silver bowls, twenty-nine knives, thirty gold cups,
10 treinta tazones de oro, cuatrocientos diez tazones de plata de segunda clase, y otros mil recipientes.
four hundred ten of a second kind of silver cup, one 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.
All the vessels of gold and silver were five thousand four hundred. Sheshbazzar brought all these, with those who ascended from the transmigration of Babylon, into Jerusalem.
