Ezra 1
1 Katika mwaka wa kwanza wa utawala wa Koreshi mfalme wa Uajemi, ili kulitimiza neno la Bwana lililosemwa na nabii Yeremia, Bwana aliusukuma moyo wa Koreshi mfalme wa Uajemi kutangaza katika himaya yake yote kwa maandishi:
and in/on/with year one to/for Cyrus king Persia to/for to end: destroy word LORD from lip Jeremiah to rouse LORD [obj] spirit Cyrus king Persia and to pass voice: message in/on/with all royalty his and also in/on/with writing to/for to say
2 “Hili ndilo asemalo Koreshi mfalme wa Uajemi: “‘Bwana, Mungu wa mbinguni, amenipa falme zote duniani, na ameniagiza kumjengea Hekalu huko Yerusalemu katika Yuda.
thus to say Cyrus king Persia all kingdom [the] land: country/planet to give: give to/for me LORD God [the] heaven and he/she/it to reckon: overseer upon me to/for to build to/for him house: home in/on/with Jerusalem which in/on/with Judah
3 Yeyote wa watu wake miongoni mwenu, Mungu wake na awe pamoja naye, wacha apande kwenda Yerusalemu katika Yuda na kujenga Hekalu la Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli, Mungu aliyeko huko Yerusalemu.

4 Nao watu wa mahali popote wale walionusurika wanapoishi sasa, watu hao wampe fedha na dhahabu, pamoja na vifaa na mifugo, mbali na sadaka za hiari kwa ajili ya Hekalu la Mungu huko Yerusalemu.’”

5 Kisha viongozi wa jamaa ya Yuda na Benyamini na makuhani na Walawi kila mmoja ambaye moyo wake ulisukumwa na Mungu, akajiandaa kupanda ili kuijenga nyumba ya Bwana huko Yerusalemu.
and to arise: rise head: leader [the] father to/for Judah and Benjamin and [the] priest and [the] Levi to/for all to rouse [the] God [obj] spirit his to/for to ascend: rise to/for to build [obj] house: temple LORD which in/on/with Jerusalem
6 Majirani zao wote wakawasaidia vyombo vya fedha na dhahabu, pamoja na vifaa na mifugo, pia na zawadi za thamani, pamoja na sadaka zote za hiari.

7 Zaidi ya hayo, Mfalme Koreshi akavitoa vyombo vilivyokuwa mali ya Hekalu la Bwana, ambavyo Nebukadneza alikuwa amevichukua kutoka Yerusalemu na kuviweka katika hekalu la mungu wake.

8 Koreshi mfalme wa Uajemi akavitoa kwa mkono wa Mithredathi mtunza hazina, aliyevihesabu mbele ya Sheshbaza mkuu wa Yuda.
and to come out: send them Cyrus king Persia upon hand: power Mithredath [the] treasurer and to recount them to/for Sheshbazzar [the] leader to/for Judah
9 Hii ilikuwa ndio orodha ya vifaa: masinia ya dhahabu yalikuwa 30 masinia ya fedha yalikuwa 1,000 vyetezo vya fedha vilikuwa 29
and these number their basin gold thirty basin silver: money thousand knife nine and twenty

11 Kwa ujumla, kulikuwa na vyombo 5,400 vya dhahabu na vya fedha. Sheshbaza akavileta hivi vyote wakati watu walipotoka uhamishoni Babeli kwenda Yerusalemu.
