< Esdras 1 >

1 Y en el primer año de Ciro rey de Persia, para que se cumpliese la palabra de Jehová dicha por la boca de Jeremías, despertó Jehová el espíritu de Ciro rey de Persia, el cual hizo pasar pregón por todo su reino, y también por escrito, diciendo:
And in the first year of Cyrus the king of Persia, at the time the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah was accomplished, the Lord awakened the spirit of Cyrus the king of Persia; and he caused a proclamation to be made throughout all his kingdom, and also by means of writing, saying,
2 Así dijo Ciro rey de Persia: Jehová Dios de los cielos me ha dado todos los reinos de la tierra, y me ha mandado que le edifique casa en Jerusalem, que es en Judá.
Thus hath said Cyrus the king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth hath the Lord the God of heaven given unto me; and he hath directed me to build for him a house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah.
3 ¿Quién hay entre vosotros de todo su pueblo? Sea Dios con él, y suba a Jerusalem, que es en Judá, y edifique la casa a Jehová Dios de Israel, el cual es Dios: la cual casa está en Jerusalem.
Whoever among you that is 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 the Lord the God of Israel, he is the God who is in Jerusalem.
4 Y a cualquiera que hubiere quedado de todos los lugares donde fuere extranjero, los varones de su lugar le ayuden con plata, y oro, y hacienda, y con bestias: con dones voluntarios para la casa de Dios, la cual está en Jerusalem.
And whosoever remaineth out of any place where he hath sojourned, him shall the men of his place assist with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts, beside the freewill offering for the house of God which is in Jerusalem.
5 Entonces se levantaron las cabezas de las familias de Judá y de Ben-jamín, y los sacerdotes y Levitas, de todos aquellos cuyo espíritu despertó Dios, para subir a edificar la casa de Jehová, que está en Jerusalem.
Then rose up the chiefs of the divisions of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, with all those whose spirit God had awakened, to go up to build the house of the Lord which is in Jerusalem.
6 Y todos los que estaban en sus al derredores confortaron las manos de ellos con vasos de plata, y de oro, con hacienda, y bestias, y con cosas preciosas, además de lo que se ofreció voluntariamente.
And all those that were round about them supplied them with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and with beasts, and with precious things, beside all that was willingly offered.
7 Y el rey Ciro sacó los vasos de la casa de Jehová, que Nabucodonosor había traspasado de Jerusalem, y puesto en la casa de sus dioses.
Also king Cyrus brought forth the vessels of the house of the Lord, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought away out of Jerusalem, and had placed in the house of his god:
8 Y sacólos Ciro rey de Persia por mano de Mitridates tesorero, el cual los dio por cuenta a Sasabasar príncipe de Judá.
Even these did Cyrus the king of Persia bring forth through the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and counted them out unto Sheshbazzar the prince for Judah.
9 De los cuales esta es la cuenta: Tazones de oro treinta, tazones de plata mil, cuchillos veinte y nueve,
And this is their number: Thirty chargers of gold, a thousand chargers of silver, nine and twenty knives,
10 Lebrillos de oro treinta, lebrillos de plata segundos cuatrocientos y diez; otros vasos mil.
Thirty cups of gold, silver cups of a second degree four hundred and ten, other vessels a thousand.
11 Todos los vasos de oro y de plata cinco mil y cuatrocientos. Todos los hizo traer Sasabasar con los que subieron del cautiverio de Babilonia a Jerusalem.
All the vessels of gold and of silver were five thousand and four hundred. All these did Sheshbazzar bring up with the exiles that were brought up from Babylon unto Jerusalem.
