Ezra 1
1 In order to fulfill the Lord's prophecy given through Jeremiah, the Lord encouraged Cyrus, king of Persia, to issue a proclamation throughout his kingdom and also to put it in writing, saying,
ペルシヤ王クロスの元年に當りヱホバ曩にエレミヤの口によりて傳へたまひしその聖言を成んとてペルシヤ王クロスの心を感動したまひければ王すなはち宣命をつたへ詔書を出して徧く國中に告示して云く
2 “This is what Cyrus king of Persia says: ‘The Lord, the God of heaven, who has given to me all the kingdoms of the earth, has given me the responsibility to build a Temple for him at Jerusalem in Judah.
ペルシヤ王クロスかく言ふ 天の神ヱホバ地上の諸國を我に賜へり その家をユダのヱルサレムに建ることを我に命ず
3 Anyone among you who belongs to his people can go to Jerusalem in Judah to rebuild this Temple of the Lord, the God of Israel, who lives in Jerusalem. May your God be with you.
凡そ汝らの中もしその民たる者あらばその神の助を得てユダのヱルサレムに上りゆきヱルサレムなるイスラエルの神ヱホバの室を建ることをせよ 彼は神にましませり
4 Wherever survivors are currently living, let them be helped by the people that region with silver, gold, goods, and livestock, together with a voluntary donation for God's Temple in Jerusalem.’”
その民にして生存れる者等の寓りをる處の人々は之に金銀貨財家畜を予へて助くべし その外にまたヱルサレムなる神の室のために物を誠意よりささぐべしと
5 Then God encouraged the family leaders of Judah and Benjamin, as well as the priests and Levites to go and rebuild the Lord's Temple in Jerusalem.
是にユダとベニヤミンの宗家の長祭司レビ人など凡て神にその心を感動せられし者等ヱルサレムなるヱホバの室を建んとて起おこれり
6 All their neighbors supported them with gifts of silver and gold, with goods and livestock, and with other valuable items, in addition to all their voluntary donations.
その周圍の人々みな銀の器黄金貨財家畜および寳物を予へて之に力をそへこの外にまた各種の物を誠意より獻げたり
7 King Cyrus also retrieved the items belonging to the Lord's Temple that Nebuchadnezzar had taken from Jerusalem and placed in the temple of his god.
クロス王またネブカデネザルが前にヱルサレムより携へ出して己の神の室に納めたりしヱホバの室の器皿を取いだせり
8 Cyrus had Mithredath the treasurer retrieve them, who counted them and gave them to Sheshbazzar, the leader of Judah.
即ちペルシヤ王クロス庫官ミテレダテの手をもて之を取いだしてユダの牧伯セシバザルに數へ交付せり
9 This was the list: 30 gold basins, 1,000 silver basins, 29 silver silverware,
その數は是のごとし 金の盤三十 銀の盤一千 小刀二十九
10 30 gold bowls, 410 matching silver bowls, and 1,000 other items.
金の大斝三十、二等の銀の大斝四百十 その他の器具一千
11 In total there were 5,400 gold and silver items. When the exiles left Babylon to go to Jerusalem Sheshbazzar took all these along with them.
金銀の器皿は合せて五千四百ありしがセシバザル俘擄人等をバビロンよりヱルサレムに將て上りし時に之をことごとく携さへ上れり
