عَزْرا 1
| فِي السَّنَةِ الأُولَى لِحُكْمِ كُورُشَ مَلِكِ فَارِسَ، وَإِتْمَاماً لِكَلاَمِ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي نَطَقَ بِهِ عَلَى لِسَانِ إِرْمِيَا، نَبَّهَ الرَّبُّ رُوحَ كُورُشَ فَأَصْدَرَ نِدَاءً مَكْتُوباً فِي كُلِّ أَرْجَاءِ مَمْلَكَتِهِ وَرَدَ فِيهِ: | ١ 1 |
In the first year of Cyrus, king of Persia, Yahweh fulfilled his word that came from the mouth of Jeremiah, and stirred Cyrus's spirit. Cyrus' voice went out over his entire kingdom. This is what was written and spoken:
| «هَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ كُورُشُ مَلِكُ فَارِسَ: لَقَدْ وَهَبَنِي الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ السَّمَاءِ جَمِيعَ مَمَالِكِ الأَرْضِ، وَأَوْصَانِي أَنْ أُشَيِّدَ لَهُ هَيْكَلاً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ فِي مَمْلَكَةِ يَهُوذَا، | ٢ 2 |
“Cyrus, king of Persia, says: Yahweh, God of Heaven, gave me all the kingdoms of the earth, and he appointed me to build for him a house in Jerusalem in Judea.
| فَعَلَى كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ شَعْبِهِ، لِيَكُنِ الرَّبُّ مَعَهُ، أَنْ يَصْعَدَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ فِي أَرْضِ يَهُوذَا فَيَبْنِيَ هَيْكَلَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. إِنَّه اللهُ الَّذِي فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ٣ 3 |
Whoever is from his people (may his God be with him) may go up to Jerusalem and build a house for Yahweh, the God of Israel, the God who is in Jerusalem.
| وَعَلَى أَهْلِ الْمَوَاضِعِ الَّتِي يُقِيمُ فِيهَا الآنَ الْمَسْبِيُّونَ الْمُتَغَرِّبُونَ أَنْ يَمُدُّوهُمْ بِالذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ وَالدَّوَابِ، فَضْلاً عَمَّا يَتَبَرَّعُونَ بِهِ لِبِنَاءِ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ». | ٤ 4 |
People of any part of the kingdom where survivors of that land are living should provide them with silver and gold, possessions and animals, as well as a freewill offering for God's house in Jerusalem.”
| فَهَبَّ رُؤَسَاءُ بُيُوتِ يَهُوذَا وَبَنْيَامِينَ، وَالْكَهَنَةُ وَاللاَّوِيُّونَ، كُلُّ مَنْ نَبَّهَ الرَّبُّ قَلْبَهُ لِيَرْجِعَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ لِبِنَاءِ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ هُنَاكَ. | ٥ 5 |
Then the heads of the ancestors' clans of Judah and Benjamin, the priests and Levites, and everyone whose spirit God stirred to go and build his house arose.
| وَأَمَدَّهُمْ جِيرَانُهُمْ بِآنِيَةِ فِضَّةٍ وَذَهَبٍ وَبِأَمْتِعَةٍ وَبَهَائِمَ وَتُحَفٍ، فَضْلاً عَمَّا تَبَرَّعُوا بِهِ. | ٦ 6 |
Those around them supported their work with silver and gold objects, possessions, animals, valuables, and freewill offerings.
| وَأَخْرَجَ الْمَلِكُ كُورُشُ آنِيَةَ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ الَّتِي كَانَ الْمَلِكُ نَبُوخَذْنَاصَّرُ قَدْ غَنِمَهَا مِنْ هَيْكَلِ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَوَضَعَهَا فِي مَعْبَدِ آلِهَتِهِ. | ٧ 7 |
Cyrus king of Persia also released the objects belonging to Yahweh's house that Nebuchadnezzar had brought from Jerusalem and put in his own gods' houses.
| وَأَمَرَ مِثْرَدَاثَ الْخَازِنَ أَنْ يَعُدَّهَا لِشِيشْبَصَّرَ رَئِيسِ يَهُوذَا، | ٨ 8 |
Cyrus put them into the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, who counted them out for Sheshbazzar, Judea's leader.
| فَكَانَتْ فِي جُمْلَتِهَا ثَلاَثِينَ طَسْتاً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، وَأَلْفَ طَسْتٍ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ، وَتِسْعَةً وَعِشْرِينَ سِكِّيناً | ٩ 9 |
This was their number: thirty gold basins, one thousand silver basins, twenty-nine other basins,
| وَثَلاَثِينَ قَدَحاً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، وَأَرْبَعَ مِئَةٍ وَعَشْرَةً مِنَ الأَقْدَاحِ الْفِضِّيَّةِ، وَأَلْفاً مِنَ الآنِيَةِ الأُخْرَى. | ١٠ 10 |
thirty gold bowls, 410 small silver bowls, and one thousand additional objects.
| فَكَانَ مَجْمُوعُ آنِيَةِ الذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ خَمْسَةَ آلافٍ وَأَرْبَعَ مِئَةٍ، حَمَلَهَا شِيشْبَصَّرُ كُلَّهَا مَعَهُ عِنْدَ إِطْلاَقِ سَرَاحِ الْمَسْبِيِّينَ مِنْ بَابِلَ وَرُجُوعِهِمْ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ١١ 11 |
There were 5,400 gold and silver items in all. Sheshbazzar brought all of them when the exiles went from Babylon to Jerusalem.
