Esdras 1
1 Y en el primer año de Ciro rey de Persia, para que se cumpliese la palabra del SEÑOR dicha por boca de Jeremías, despertó el SEÑOR el espíritu de Ciro rey de Persia, el cual hizo pasar pregón por todo su reino, y también por escrito, diciendo:
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 Así dijo Ciro rey de Persia: El SEÑOR Dios de los cielos me ha dado todos los reinos de la tierra, y me ha mandado que le edifique Casa en Jerusalén, que está en Judá.
“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 ¿Quién hay entre vosotros de todo su pueblo? Sea Dios con él, y suba a Jerusalén que está en Judá, y edifique la Casa al SEÑOR Dios de Israel (él es Dios), la cual 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 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 cuál 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 cabezas de las familias de Judá y de Benjamín, y los sacerdotes y levitas; de todos aquellos cuyo espíritu despertó Dios para subir a edificar la Casa del SEÑOR, la cual está 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 Y todos los que estaban en sus alrededores confortaron las manos de ellos con vasos de plata y de oro, con hacienda y bestias, y con cosas preciosas, a más de lo que se ofreció voluntariamente.
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 Y el rey Ciro sacó los vasos de la Casa del SEÑOR, que Nabucodonosor había traspasado de Jerusalén, y puesto en la casa de su dios.
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 Los sacó, pues, Ciro rey de Persia, por mano de Mitrídates tesorero, el cual los dio por cuenta a Sesbasar príncipe 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 Y ésta es la cuenta de ellos: treinta tazones de oro, mil tazones de plata, veintinueve cuchillos,
And this is their number: thirty gold bowls, one thousand silver bowls, twenty-nine knives, thirty gold cups,
10 treinta tazas de oro, otras cuatrocientas diez tazas de plata, y otros mil vasos.
four hundred ten of a second kind of silver cup, one thousand other vessels.
11 Todos los vasos de oro y de plata, cinco mil cuatrocientos. Todos los hizo llevar Sesbasar con los que subieron del cautiverio de Babilonia 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.
