1 Ní ọdún kìn-ín-ní Kirusi, ọba Persia, kí a lè mú ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tí Jeremiah sọ ṣẹ, Olúwa ru ọkàn Kirusi ọba Persia sókè láti ṣe ìkéde jákèjádò gbogbo agbègbè ìjọba rẹ̀, kí ó sì ṣe àkọsílẹ̀ rẹ̀ pé,
In the first year of Cyrus, king of Persia, to fulfil the word of Yahweh from the mouth of Jeremiah, Yahweh aroused the spirit of Cyrus, king of Persia, and he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, moreover also in writing, saying:
2 “Èyí ni ohun tí Kirusi ọba Persia wí pé: “‘Olúwa, Ọlọ́run ọ̀run, ti fún mi ní gbogbo ìjọba ayé. Ó sì ti yàn mí láti kọ́ tẹmpili Olúwa fún un ní Jerusalẹmu tí ó wà ní Juda.
Thus, saith Cyrus, king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth, hath Yahweh God of the heavens, given to me, —and, he himself, hath laid charge upon me, to build for him a house, in Jerusalem, which is in Judah.
3 Ẹnikẹ́ni nínú àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ láàrín yín—kí Ọlọ́run rẹ̀ wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀, kí ó sì gòkè lọ sí Jerusalẹmu tí ó wà ní Juda, láti kọ́ tẹmpili Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli, Ọlọ́run tí ó wà ní Jerusalẹmu.
Who is there among you of all his people? His God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, —and build the house of Yahweh God of Israel, (he, is God!) which is in Jerusalem;
4 Kí àwọn ènìyàn ní ibikíbi tí ẹni náà bá ń gbé kí ó fi fàdákà àti wúrà pẹ̀lú ohun tí ó dára àti ẹran ọ̀sìn, pẹ̀lú ọrẹ àtinúwá ràn án lọ́wọ́ fún tẹmpili Ọlọ́run ní Jerusalẹmu.’”
And, whosoever is left, of all the places where he doth sojourn, let the men of his place uphold him, with silver and with gold, and with goods and with beasts, —along with a voluntary offering for the house of God, which is in Jerusalem.
5 Nígbà náà àwọn olórí ìdílé Juda àti Benjamini àti àwọn àlùfáà àti àwọn ará Lefi—olúkúlùkù ẹni tí Ọlọ́run ti fọwọ́ tọ́ ọkàn rẹ̀—múra láti gòkè lọ láti kọ ilé Olúwa ní Jerusalẹmu.
Then arose the ancestral chiefs of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, —even every one whose spirit God had aroused, to go up to build the house of Yahweh, which was in Jerusalem;
6 Gbogbo àwọn aládùúgbò wọn ràn wọ́n lọ́wọ́ pẹ̀lú ohun èlò ti fàdákà àti wúrà, pẹ̀lú onírúurú ohun ìní àti ẹran ọ̀sìn àti pẹ̀lú àwọn ẹ̀bùn iyebíye, ní àfikún si gbogbo àwọn ọrẹ àtinúwá.
and, all they who were round about them, strengthened their hands, with utensils of silver, with gold with goods and with beasts, and with precious things, —besides any thing he had volunteered.
7 Ní àfikún, ọba Kirusi mú àwọn ohun èlò tí ó jẹ́ ti ilé Olúwa jáde wá, tí Nebukadnessari ti kó lọ láti Jerusalẹmu tí ó sì ti kó sí ilé òrìṣà rẹ̀.
And, King Cyrus, brought forth the utensils of the house of Yahweh, —which Nebuchadnezzar had brought forth from Jerusalem, and put in the house of his gods: —
8 Kirusi ọba Persia pàṣẹ fún Mitredati olùṣọ́ ilé ìṣúra láti kó wọn jáde, ó sì kà wọ́n fún Ṣeṣbassari ìjòyè Juda.
yea Cyrus king of Persia brought them forth, by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, —and numbered them unto Sheshbazzar, a leader of Judah.
9 Èyí ni iye wọn. Ọgbọ̀n àwo wúrà 30 Ẹgbẹ̀rún àwo fàdákà 1,000 Àwo ìrúbọ fàdákà mọ́kàndínlọ́gbọ̀n 29
And, these, were the numbers of them, —basins of gold, thirty, basins of silver, a thousand, knives, twenty-nine;
10 Ọgbọ̀n àdému wúrà 30 Irinwó ó lé mẹ́wàá oríṣìí àdému fàdákà mìíràn 410 Ẹgbẹ̀rún kan àwọn ohun èlò mìíràn 1,000
bowls of gold, thirty, bowls of silver, of a secondary sort, four hundred and ten, —other utensils, a thousand.
11 Gbogbo ohun èlò wúrà àti ti fàdákà ní àpapọ̀ jẹ́ ẹgbẹ̀rún márùn-ún ó lé irinwó. Ṣeṣbassari kó gbogbo àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí wá pẹ̀lú àwọn ìgbèkùn tí ó gòkè wá láti Babeli sí Jerusalẹmu.
All the utensils, in gold and silver, were five thousand and four hundred, —the whole, did Sheshbazzar bring up with the upbringing of the exile, out of Babylon unto Jerusalem.
