Esdræ 1
1 In anno primo Cyri regis Persarum ut compleretur verbum Domini ex ore Ieremiæ, suscitavit Dominus spiritum Cyri regis Persarum: et traduxit vocem in omni regno suo, etiam per scripturam, dicens:
Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of Jehovah by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, Jehovah stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,
2 Hæc dicit Cyrus rex Persarum: Omnia regna terræ dedit mihi Dominus Deus cæli, et ipse præcepit mihi ut ædificarem ei domum in Ierusalem, quæ est in Iudæa.
Thus says Cyrus king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth has Jehovah, the God of heaven, given me, and he has charged me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah.
3 Quis est in vobis de universo populo eius? Sit Deus illius cum ipso. Ascendat in Ierusalem, quæ est in Iudæa, et ædificet domum Domini Dei Israel, ipse est Deus qui est in Ierusalem.
Whoever there is among you of all his people, his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of Jehovah, the God of Israel (he is God), which is in Jerusalem.
4 Et omnes reliqui in cunctis locis ubicumque habitant, adiuvent eum viri de loco suo argento et auro, et substantia, et pecoribus, excepto quod voluntarie offerunt templo Dei, quod est in Ierusalem.
And whoever is left, in any place where he sojourns, let the men of his place help him with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts, besides the freewill offering for the house of God which is in Jerusalem.
5 Et surrexerunt principes patrum de Iuda, et Beniamin, et Sacerdotes, et Levitæ, et omnis, cuius Deus suscitavit spiritum, ut ascenderent ad ædificandum templum Domini, quod erat in Ierusalem.
Then the heads of fathers of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, even all whose spirit God had stirred, rose up to go up to build the house of Jehovah which is in Jerusalem.
6 Universique qui erant in circuitu, adiuverunt manus eorum in vasis argenteis et aureis, in substantia et iumentis, in supellectili, exceptis his, quæ sponte obtulerant.
And all those who were round about them strengthened their hands with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and with beasts, and with precious things, besides all that was willingly offered.
7 Rex quoque Cyrus protulit vasa templi Domini, quæ tulerat Nabuchodonosor de Ierusalem, et posuerat ea in templo dei sui.
Also Cyrus the king brought forth the vessels of the house of Jehovah, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought forth out of Jerusalem, and had put in the house of his gods,
8 Protulit autem ea Cyrus rex Persarum per manum Mithridatis filii gazabar, et annumeravit ea Sassabasar principi Iuda.
even those Cyrus king of Persia brought forth by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and numbered them to Sheshbazzar, the ruler of Judah.
9 Et hic est numerus eorum: phialæ aureæ triginta, phialæ argenteæ mille, cultri viginti novem, scyphi aurei triginta,
And this is the number of them: thirty platters of gold, a thousand platters of silver, twenty-nine knives,
10 scyphi argentei secundi quadringenti decem: vasa alia mille.
thirty bowls of gold, four hundred and ten silver bowls of a second sort, and a thousand other vessels.
11 Omnia vasa aurea et argentea quinque millia quadringenta: universa tulit Sassabasar cum his, qui ascendebant de transmigratione Babylonis in Ierusalem.
All the vessels of gold and of silver were five thousand and four hundred. All these Sheshbazzar brought up when those of the captivity were brought up from Babylon to Jerusalem.
