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:
2 “Pa inge sap soko lal Cyrus, Tokosra Fulat lun Persia. LEUM GOD lun Kusrao El orala tuh nga in leumi faclu nufon, ac El se nu sik in musai sie tempul nu sel in Jerusalem in acn Judah.
“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.
3 Lela God Elan wi kowos nukewa su mwet lal. Kowos som nu Jerusalem ac sifil musaela Tempul lun LEUM GOD, su God lun Israel, aok God su mwet uh alu nu se in Jerusalem.
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.
4 Kutena mwet lal su muta in sruoh fin enenu kasru nu ke folok, mwet tulan lalos in kasrelos ke silver, gold, mwe mongo ac nuknuk, kosro in utuk ma lalos, oayapa mwe lung tuh in mwe sang lalos in Tempul lun God in acn Jerusalem.”
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.”
5 Na sifen sou in sruf lun Judah ac sruf lun Benjamin, oayapa mwet tol ac mwet Levi, ac elos nukewa saya su God El purakak nunak lalos, elos akola in som ac sifil musaela Tempul lun LEUM GOD in Jerusalem.
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.
6 Mwet tulan lalos nukewa kasrelos ac sang ma puspis nu selos: ahlu silver, gold, mwe mongo ac nuknuk, kosro in utuk ma lalos, kutu pac ma saok, oayapa mwe sang nu ke Tempul.
Those around them supported their work with silver and gold objects, possessions, animals, valuables, and freewill offerings.
7 Tokosra Fulat Cyrus el folokonang nu selos ahlu ac cup ma Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar el tuh usla liki Tempul in Jerusalem ac likiya in tempul lun god lal.
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.
8 El sang ma inge nu sel Mithredath, mwet karingin mwe kasrup lun mwet Israel, na Mithredath el oakla ac simusla pisen kais sie ma, ac sang nu sel Sheshbazzar, governor lun Judah.
Cyrus put them into the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, who counted them out for Sheshbazzar, Judea's leader.
9 Pa inge koanon oaoa sac: ahlu gold mwe neinyuk mwe sang 30 ahlu silver mwe neinyuk mwe sang 1,000 ahlu saya 29
This was their number: thirty gold basins, one thousand silver basins, twenty-nine other basins,
10 ahlu gold srisrik 30 ahlu silver srisrik 410 ahlu saya 1,000
thirty gold bowls, 410 small silver bowls, and one thousand additional objects.
11 Ma inge nukewa toeni orala 5,400 ahlu gold ac silver ac kutu pac ma saya ma Sheshbazzar el us ke el ac mwet sruoh wial elos illa liki Babylon ac som nu Jerusalem.
There were 5,400 gold and silver items in all. Sheshbazzar brought all of them when the exiles went from Babylon to Jerusalem.
