< Esdras 1 >

1 No primeiro anno de Cyro, rei da Persia (para que se cumprisse a palavra do Senhor, por bocca de Jeremias) despertou o Senhor o espirito de Cyro, rei da Persia o qual fez passar pregão por todo o seu reino, como tambem por escripto, dizendo:
Now in the first year of Koresh king of Persia, that the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Koresh king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,
2 Assim diz Cyro, rei da Persia: O Senhor Deus dos céus me deu todos os reinos da terra: e elle me encarregou de lhe edificar uma casa em Jerusalem, que está em Judah.
"Thus says Koresh king of Persia, 'The LORD, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he has commanded me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah.
3 Quem ha entre vós, de todo o seu povo, seja seu Deus com elle, e suba a Jerusalem, que está em Judah, e edifique a casa do Senhor, Deus d'Israel; elle é o Deus que habita em Jerusalem.
Whoever there 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 build the house of the LORD, the God of Israel (he is God), which is in Jerusalem.
4 E todo aquelle que ficar atraz em alguns logares em que andar peregrinando, os homens do seu logar o ajudarão com prata, e com oiro, e com fazenda, e com gados, afóra das dadivas voluntarias para a casa do Senhor, que habita em Jerusalem.
Whoever is left, in any place where he lives, let the men of his place help him with silver, with gold, with goods, and with animals, besides the freewill offering for God's house which is in Jerusalem.'"
5 Então se levantaram os chefes dos paes de Judah e Benjamin, e os sacerdotes e os levitas, com todos aquelles cujo espirito Deus despertou, para subirem a edificar a casa do Senhor, que está em Jerusalem.
Then the heads of ancestral houses of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, even all whose spirit God had stirred to go up rose up to build the house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem.
6 E todos os que habitavam nos arredores lhes confortaram as mãos com vasos de prata, com oiro, com fazenda, e com gados, e com as coisas preciosas: afóra tudo o que voluntariamente se deu.
All those who were around them strengthened their hands with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and with animals, and with precious things, besides all that was willingly offered.
7 Tambem o rei Cyro tirou os vasos da casa do Senhor, que Nabucodonosor tinha trazido de Jerusalem, e que tinha posto na casa de seus deuses.
Also Koresh the king brought forth the vessels of the house of the LORD, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought out of Jerusalem, and had put in the house of his gods;
8 Estes tirou Cyro, rei da Persia, pela mão de Mithredath, o thesoureiro, que os deu por conta a Sesbazar, principe de Judah.
even those, Koresh king of Persia brought out by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and numbered them to Sheshbazzar, the prince of Judah.
9 E este é o numero d'elles: trinta bacias d'oiro, mil bacias de prata, vinte e nove facas,
This is the number of them: thirty platters of gold, one thousand platters of silver, twenty-nine knives,
10 Trinta taças d'oiro, mais outras quatrocentas e dez taças de prata, e mil outros vasos.
thirty bowls of gold, silver bowls of a second sort four hundred and ten, and other vessels one thousand.
11 Todos os vasos d'oiro e de prata foram cinco mil e quatrocentos: todos estes levou Sesbazar, quando os do captiveiro subiram de Babylonia para Jerusalem.
All the vessels of gold and of silver were five thousand and four hundred. Sheshbazzar brought all these up, when the captives were brought up from Babylon to Jerusalem.
