< Esdras 1 >

1 Y en el primer año de Ciro rey de Persia, para que se cumpliese la palabra de Jehová dicha por la boca de Jeremías, despertó Jehová el espíritu de Ciro rey de Persia, el cual hizo pasar pregón por todo su reino, y también por escrito, diciendo:
Now in the first year of Cyrus, king of Persia, in order that the word of the Lord given by the mouth of Jeremiah might come true, the spirit of Cyrus, king of Persia, was moved by the Lord, so that he made a public statement through all his kingdom, and put it in writing, saying,
2 Así dijo Ciro rey de Persia: Jehová Dios de los cielos me ha dado todos los reinos de la tierra, y me ha mandado que le edifique casa en Jerusalem, que es en Judá.
These are the words of Cyrus, king of Persia: The Lord God of heaven has given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he has made me responsible for building a house for him in Jerusalem, which is in Judah.
3 ¿Quién hay entre vosotros de todo su pueblo? Sea Dios con él, y suba a Jerusalem, que es en Judá, y edifique la casa a Jehová Dios de Israel, el cual es Dios: la cual casa está en Jerusalem.
Whoever there is among you of his people, may his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and take in hand the building of the house of the Lord, the God of Israel; he is the God who is in Jerusalem.
4 Y a cualquiera que hubiere quedado de todos los lugares donde fuere extranjero, los varones de su lugar le ayuden con plata, y oro, y hacienda, y con bestias: con dones voluntarios para la casa de Dios, la cual está en Jerusalem.
And whoever there may be of the rest of Israel, living in any place, let the men of that place give him help with offerings of silver and gold and goods and beasts, in addition to the offering freely given for the house of God in Jerusalem.
5 Entonces se levantaron las cabezas de las familias de Judá y de Ben-jamín, y los sacerdotes y Levitas, de todos aquellos cuyo espíritu despertó Dios, para subir a edificar la casa de Jehová, que está en Jerusalem.
Then the heads of families of Judah and Benjamin, with the priests and the Levites, got ready, even all those whose spirits were moved by God to go up and take in hand the building of the Lord's house in Jerusalem.
6 Y todos los que estaban en sus al derredores confortaron las manos de ellos con vasos de plata, y de oro, con hacienda, y bestias, y con cosas preciosas, además de lo que se ofreció voluntariamente.
And all their neighbours gave them help with offerings of vessels of silver and gold and goods and beasts and things of great value, in addition to what was freely offered.
7 Y el rey Ciro sacó los vasos de la casa de Jehová, que Nabucodonosor había traspasado de Jerusalem, y puesto en la casa de sus dioses.
And Cyrus the king got out the vessels of the house of the Lord which Nebuchadnezzar had taken from Jerusalem and put in the house of his gods;
8 Y sacólos Ciro rey de Persia por mano de Mitridates tesorero, el cual los dio por cuenta a Sasabasar príncipe de Judá.
Even these Cyrus made Mithredath, the keeper of his wealth, get out, and he gave them, after numbering them, to Sheshbazzar, the ruler of Judah.
9 De los cuales esta es la cuenta: Tazones de oro treinta, tazones de plata mil, cuchillos veinte y nueve,
And this is the number of them: there were thirty gold plates, a thousand silver plates, twenty-nine knives,
10 Lebrillos de oro treinta, lebrillos de plata segundos cuatrocientos y diez; otros vasos mil.
Thirty gold basins, four hundred and ten silver basins, and a thousand other vessels.
11 Todos los vasos de oro y de plata cinco mil y cuatrocientos. Todos los hizo traer Sasabasar con los que subieron del cautiverio de Babilonia a Jerusalem.
There were five thousand, four hundred gold and silver vessels. All these were taken back by Sheshbazzar, when those who had been taken prisoner went up from Babylon to Jerusalem.
