وَفِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلْأُولَى لِكُورَشَ مَلِكِ فَارِسَ عِنْدَ تَمَامِ كَلَامِ ٱلرَّبِّ بِفَمِ إِرْمِيَا، نَبَّهَ ٱلرَّبُّ رُوحَ كُورَشَ مَلِكِ فَارِسَ فَأَطْلَقَ نِدَاءً فِي كُلِّ مَمْلَكَتِهِ وَبِالْكِتَابَةِ أَيْضًا قَائِلًا: ١ 1
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:
«هَكَذَا قَالَ كُورَشُ مَلِكُ فَارِسَ: جَمِيعُ مَمَالِكِ ٱلْأَرْضِ دَفَعَهَا لِي ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، وَهُوَ أَوْصَانِي أَنْ أَبْنِيَ لَهُ بَيْتًا فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ ٱلَّتِي فِي يَهُوذَا. ٢ 2
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.
مَنْ مِنْكُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ شَعْبِهِ، لِيَكُنْ إِلَهُهُ مَعَهُ، وَيَصْعَدْ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ ٱلَّتِي فِي يَهُوذَا فَيَبْنِيَ بَيْتَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. هُوَ ٱلْإِلَهُ ٱلَّذِي فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ. ٣ 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 Yahweh God of Israel, (he, is God!) which is in Jerusalem;
وَكُلُّ مَنْ بَقِيَ فِي أَحَدِ ٱلْأَمَاكِنِ حَيْثُ هُوَ مُتَغَرِّبٌ فَلْيُنْجِدْهُ أَهْلُ مَكَانِهِ بِفِضَّةٍ وَبِذَهَبٍ وَبِأَمْتِعَةٍ وَبِبَهَائِمَ مَعَ ٱلتَّبَرُّعِ لِبَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ». ٤ 4
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.
فَقَامَ رُؤُوسُ آبَاءِ يَهُوذَا وَبَنْيَامِينَ، وَٱلْكَهَنَةُ وَٱللَّاوِيُّونَ، مَعَ كُلِّ مَنْ نَبَّهَ ٱللهُ رُوحَهُ، لِيَصْعَدُوا لِيَبْنُوا بَيْتَ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ. ٥ 5
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;
وَكُلُّ ٱلَّذِينَ حَوْلَهُمْ أَعَانُوهُمْ بِآنِيَةِ فِضَّةٍ وَبِذَهَبٍ وَبِأَمْتِعَةٍ وَبِبَهَائِمَ وَبِتُحَفٍ، فَضْلًا عَنْ كُلِّ مَا تُبُرِّعَ بِهِ. ٦ 6
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.
وَٱلْمَلِكُ كُورَشُ أَخْرَجَ آنِيَةَ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّتِي أَخْرَجَهَا نَبُوخَذْنَاصَّرُ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ وَجَعَلَهَا فِي بَيْتِ آلِهَتِهِ. ٧ 7
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: —
أَخْرَجَهَا كُورَشُ مَلِكُ فَارِسَ عَنْ يَدِ مِثْرَدَاثَ ٱلْخَازِنِ، وَعَدَّهَا لِشِيشْبَصَّرَ رَئِيسِ يَهُوذَا. ٨ 8
yea Cyrus king of Persia brought them forth, by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, —and numbered them unto Sheshbazzar, a leader of Judah.
وَهَذَا عَدَدُهَا: ثَلَاثُونَ طَسْتًا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، وَأَلْفُ طَسْتٍ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ، وَتِسْعَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ سِكِّينًا، ٩ 9
And, these, were the numbers of them, —basins of gold, thirty, basins of silver, a thousand, knives, twenty-nine;
وَثَلَاثُونَ قَدَحًا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، وَأَقْدَاحُ فِضَّةٍ مِنَ ٱلرُّتْبَةِ ٱلثَّانِيَةِ أَرْبَعُ مِئَةٍ وَعَشَرَةٌ، وَأَلْفٌ مِنْ آنِيَةٍ أُخْرَى. ١٠ 10
bowls of gold, thirty, bowls of silver, of a secondary sort, four hundred and ten, —other utensils, a thousand.
جَمِيعُ ٱلْآنِيَةِ مِنَ ٱلذَّهَبِ وَٱلْفِضَّةِ خَمْسَةُ آلَافٍ وَأَرْبَعُ مِئَةٍ. ٱلْكُلُّ أَصْعَدَهُ شِيشْبَصَّرُ عِنْدَ إِصْعَادِ ٱلسَّبْيِ مِنْ بَابِلَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ. ١١ 11
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.
