< 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 Koresh king of Persia, that the word of Jehovah by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, Jehovah stirred up the spirit of Koresh king of Persia, so 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 says Koresh king of Persia, 'Jehovah, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he has commanded me to build him a house in 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.
Whoever there is among you of all his people, may his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of Jehovah, the God of Israel (he is God), which 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.
Whoever is left, in any place where he lives, let the men of his place help him with silver, with gold, with goods, and with animals, besides the freewill offering for God's house 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.
Then the heads of ancestral houses of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, even all whose spirit God had stirred to go up rose up to build the house of Jehovah 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.
All those who were around them strengthened their hands with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and with animals, 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 Koresh the king brought forth the vessels of the house of Jehovah, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought out of Jerusalem, and had put 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, Koresh king of Persia brought out 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,
This is the number of them: thirty platters of gold, one thousand platters of silver, twenty-nine knives,
10 30 tazas de oro, 410 tazas de plata de otra clase y otros 1.000 utensilios.
thirty bowls of gold, silver bowls of a second sort four hundred and ten, and other vessels one 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. Sheshbazzar brought all these up, when the captives were brought up from Babylon to Jerusalem.
