Esdras, 1
1. En el año primero de Ciro, rey de Persia, en cumplimiento de la palabra de Yahveh, por boca de Jeremías, movió Yahveh el espíritu de Ciro, rey de Persia, que mandó publicar de palabra y por escrito en todo su reino:
1. Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and [put it] also in writing, saying,
2. «Así habla Ciro, rey de Persia: Yahveh, el Dios de los cielos, me ha dado todos los reinos de la tierra. El me ha encargado que le edifique una Casa en Jerusalén, en Judá.
2. Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, The LORD God of heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he hath charged me to build him an house at Jerusalem, which [is] in Judah.
3. Quien de entre vosotros pertenezca a su pueblo, sea su Dios con él. Suba a Jerusalén, en Judá, a edificar la Casa de Yahveh, Dios de Israel, el Dios que está en Jerusalén.
3. 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 the LORD God of Israel, (he [is] the God,) which [is] in Jerusalem.
4. A todo el resto del pueblo, donde residan, que las gentes del lugar les ayuden proporcionándoles plata, oro, hacienda y ganado, así como ofrendas voluntarias para la Casa de Dios que está en Jerusalén.»
4. And whosoever remaineth in any place where he sojourneth, let the men of his place help him with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts, beside the freewill offering for the house of God that [is] in Jerusalem.
5. Entonces los cabezas de familia de Judá y Benjamín, los sacerdotes y los levitas, todos aquellos cuyo ánimo había movido Dios, se pusieron en marcha para subir a edificar la Casa de Yahveh en Jerusalén;
5. Then rose up the chief of the fathers of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, with all [them] whose spirit God had raised, to go up to build the house of the LORD which [is] in Jerusalem.
6. y todos sus vecinos les proporcionaron toda clase de ayuda: plata, oro, hacienda, ganado, objetos preciosos en cantidad, además de toda clase de ofrendas voluntarias.
6. And all they that [were] about them strengthened their hands with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and with beasts, and with precious things, beside all [that] was willingly offered.
7. El rey Ciro mandó tomar los utensilios de la Casa de Yahveh que Nabucodonosor se había llevado de Jerusalén y había depositado en el templo de su dios.
7. Also Cyrus the king brought forth the vessels of the house of the LORD, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought forth out of Jerusalem, and had put them in the house of his gods;
8. Ciro, rey de Persia, los puso en manos del tesorero Mitrídates, el cual los contó para entregárselos a Sesbassar, el príncipe de Judá.
8. Even those did Cyrus king of Persia bring forth by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and numbered them unto Sheshbazzar, the prince of Judah.
9. Este es el inventario: fuentes de oro: 30; fuentes de plata: 1.000; reparadas: 29;
9. And this [is] the number of them: thirty chargers of gold, a thousand chargers of silver, nine and twenty knives,
10. copas de oro: 30; copas de plata: 1.000; estropeadas: 410; otros utensilios: 1.000.
10. Thirty basons of gold, silver basons of a second [sort] four hundred and ten, [and] other vessels a thousand.
11. Total de los utensilios de oro y plata: 5.400. Todo esto se lo llevó Sesbassar cuando se permitió a los deportados volver de Babilonia a Jerusalén.
11. All the vessels of gold and of silver [were] five thousand and four hundred. All [these] did Sheshbazzar bring up with [them of] the captivity that were brought up from Babylon unto Jerusalem.
