< エズラ記 1 >

1 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
Now in the first year of Cyrus king of the Persians, that the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremias might be fulfilled, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of the Persians, and he issued a proclamation through all his kingdom, and that in writing, saying,
2 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
Thus said Cyrus king of the Persians, The Lord God of heaven has given me all the kingdoms of the earth, and he has given me a charge to build him a house in Jerusalem that is in Judea.
3 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
Who [is] there among you of all his people? for his God shall be with him, and he shall go up to Jerusalem that is in Judea, and let him build the house of the God of Israel: he [is] the God that is in Jerusalem.
4 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
And [let] every [Jew] that is left [go] from every place where he sojourns, and the men of his place shall help him with silver, and gold, and goods, and cattle, together with the voluntary offering for the house of God that is in Jerusalem.
5 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
Then the chiefs of the families of Juda and Benjamin arose, and the priests, and the Levites, all whose spirit the Lord stirred up to go up to build the house of the Lord that [is] in Jerusalem.
6 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
And all that were round about strengthened their hands with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and with cattle, and with presents, besides the voluntary offerings.
7 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
And king Cyrus brought out the vessels of the house of the Lord, which Nabuchodonosor had brought from Jerusalem, and put in the house of his god.
8 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
And Cyrus king of the Persians brought them out by the hand of Mithradates the treasurer, and he numbered them to Sasabasar, the chief man of Juda.
9 その數は是のごとし 金の盤三十 銀の盤一千 小刀二十九
And this [is] their number: thirty gold basons, and a thousand silver basons, nine and twenty changes, thirty golden goblets,
10 金の大斝三十、二等の銀の大斝四百十 その他の器具一千
and four hundred [and] ten double silver [vessels], and a thousand other vessels.
11 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
All the gold and silver vessels were five thousand four hundred, [even] all that went up with Sasabasar from the [place of] transportation, from Babylon to Jerusalem.
