< 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:
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: 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 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 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 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 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 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 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.
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 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 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 Yavé que Nabucodonosor llevó de Jerusalén y puso en el templo de sus ʼelohim.
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 Ciro, rey de Persia, los sacó por medio del tesorero Mitrídates, quien los entregó en mano de Sesbasar, el jefe 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 Esta fue su cuenta: 30 tazones de oro, 1.000 tazones de plata, 29 cuchillos,
And this is their number: thirty gold bowls, one thousand silver bowls, twenty-nine knives, thirty gold cups,
10 30 tazas de oro, 410 tazas de plata de otra clase y otros 1.000 utensilios.
four hundred ten of a second kind of silver cup, one thousand other vessels.
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 silver were five thousand four hundred. Sheshbazzar brought all these, with those who ascended from the transmigration of Babylon, into Jerusalem.
