< 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,
In yac se meet ke Tokosra Cyrus lun Persia el mutawauk in tokosra fulat, LEUM GOD El oru tuh kas ma El tuh fahk nu sel mwet palu Jeremiah in akpwayeyuk. El aknunakyal Cyrus elan simusla sie ma sap ac supwalik tuh in ritiyuk akyokye yen nukewa in tokosrai lal:
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.
“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.
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.
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.
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.’”
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.”
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
8 Cyrus had Mithredath the treasurer retrieve them, who counted them and gave them to Sheshbazzar, the leader of Judah.
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.
9 This was the list: 30 gold basins, 1,000 silver basins, 29 silver silverware,
Pa inge koanon oaoa sac: ahlu gold mwe neinyuk mwe sang 30 ahlu silver mwe neinyuk mwe sang 1,000 ahlu saya 29
10 30 gold bowls, 410 matching silver bowls, and 1,000 other items.
ahlu gold srisrik 30 ahlu silver srisrik 410 ahlu saya 1,000
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.
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.
