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. In the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom and also put it in writing:
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 says Cyrus king of Persia: The LORD, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth, and he has charged me to build him a 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. Whoever is among you of all his people, may his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and rebuild the house of the LORD, the God of Israel -- he is the God who 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 let each survivor, in whatever place he sojourns, be assisted by the men of his place with silver and gold, with goods and with beasts, besides freewill offerings for the house of God which 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 heads of the fathers' houses of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests and the Levites, every one whose spirit God had stirred to go up to rebuild 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 who were about them aided them with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, with beasts, and with costly wares, besides all that was freely 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. Cyrus the king also brought out the vessels of the house of the LORD which Nebuchadnez'zar had carried away from Jerusalem and placed 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. Cyrus king of Persia brought these out in charge of Mith'redath the treasurer, who counted them out to Shesh-baz'zar the prince of Judah.
9. Este es el inventario: fuentes de oro: 30; fuentes de plata: 1.000; reparadas: 29;
