< Esdras 1 >

1 El año primero de Ciro, rey de Persia, para que se cumpliera la Palabra de Yavé por boca de Jeremías, Yavé despertó el espíritu de Ciro, rey de Persia, para que se proclamara en todo el reino por pregón y por escrito:
Nowe in the first yere of Cyrus King of Persia (that the worde of the Lord, spoken by the mouth of Ieremiah, might be accomplished) the Lord stirred vp the spirite of Cyrus King of Persia, and hee made a Proclamation thorowe all his Kingdome, and also by writing, saying,
2 Ciro, rey de Persia, dice: Todos los reinos de la tierra me fueron dados por Yavé, ʼElohim de los cielos. Él mismo me encomendó que le construya Casa en Jerusalén.
Thus saith Cyrus King of Persia, The Lord God of heauen hath giuen me all the kingdomes of the earth, and he hath commanded me to builde him an house in Ierusalem, which is in Iudah.
3 El que de entre ustedes pertenezca a su pueblo, sea su ʼElohim con él. Suba a Jerusalén y reconstruya la Casa de Yavé, el ʼElohim de Israel. Él es el ʼElohim que está en Jerusalén.
Who is he among you of all his people with whome his God is? let him goe vp to Ierusalem which is in Iudah, and buylde the house of the Lord God of Israel: he is the God, which is in Ierusalem.
4 Y a todo el que quedó, en cualquier lugar donde viva, que lo ayuden sus vecinos con plata, oro, bienes y ganado, junto con una ofrenda voluntaria para la Casa del ʼElohim que está en Jerusalén.
And euery one that remayneth in any place (where he soiourneth) let the men of his place relieue him with siluer and with golde, and with substance, and with cattel, and with a willing offring, for the house of God that is in Ierusalem.
5 Entonces se levantaron los jefes de familia de Judá y Benjamín, los sacerdotes y los levitas, todos aquellos cuyo espíritu ʼElohim despertó para que subieran a reconstruir la Casa de Yavé en Jerusalén.
Then the chiefe fathers of Iudah and Beniamin, and the Priests and Leuites rose vp, with al them whose spirit God had raysed to goe vp, to builde the house of the Lord which is in Ierusalem.
6 Todos los que estaban alrededor de ellos los animaron con objetos de plata, oro, bienes, ganado y cosas preciosas, además de lo que fue dado como una ofrenda voluntaria.
And all they that were about them, strengthened their handes with vessels of siluer, with golde, with substance and with cattell, and with precious thinges, besides all that was willingly offred.
7 También el rey Ciro sacó los utensilios de la Casa de Yavé que Nabucodonosor llevó de Jerusalén y puso en el templo de sus ʼelohim.
Also the King Cyrus brought forth the vessels of the house of the Lord, which Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of Ierusalem, and had put them in the house of his god.
8 Ciro, rey de Persia, los sacó por medio del tesorero Mitrídates, quien los entregó en mano de Sesbasar, el jefe de Judá.
Euen them did Cyrus King of Persia bring forth by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and counted them vnto Sheshbazzar the Prince of Iudah.
9 Esta fue su cuenta: 30 tazones de oro, 1.000 tazones de plata, 29 cuchillos,
And this is the nomber of them, thirtie basins of golde, a thousand basins of siluer, nine and twentie kniues,
10 30 tazas de oro, 410 tazas de plata de otra clase y otros 1.000 utensilios.

11 Todos los utensilios de oro y de plata fueron 5.400. Sesbasar lo transportó todo cuando los del cautiverio de Babilonia regresaron a Jerusalén.
All the vessels of golde and siluer were fiue thousand and foure hundreth. Sheshbazzar brought vp all with them of the captiuitie that came vp from Babel to Ierusalem.
