< 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:
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 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 heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he hath charged me to build him an house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah.
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 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, ) who is in Jerusalem.
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 whoever remaineth in any place where he sojourneth, let the men of his place help him with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts, besides the freewill offering for the house of God that is in Jerusalem.
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 arose the heads 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 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 hands with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and with beasts, and with precious things, besides all that was willingly offered.
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 Cyrus the king brought forth the vessels of the house of the LORD, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought from Jerusalem, and had put them in the house of his gods;
8 Ciro, rey de Persia, los sacó por medio del tesorero Mitrídates, quien los entregó en mano de Sesbasar, el jefe 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 fue su cuenta: 30 tazones de oro, 1.000 tazones de plata, 29 cuchillos,
And this is the number of them: thirty platters of gold, a thousand platters of silver, nine and twenty knives,
10 30 tazas de oro, 410 tazas de plata de otra clase y otros 1.000 utensilios.
Thirty basins of gold, silver basins of a second sort four hundred and ten, and other vessels a thousand.
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 gold and of silver were five thousand and four hundred. All these did Sheshbazzar bring with them of the captivity that were brought from Babylon to Jerusalem.
