Ezra 1

¹Pada tahun pertama zaman Koresh, raja negeri Persia, TUHAN menggerakkan hati Koresh, raja Persia itu untuk menggenapkan firman yang diucapkan oleh Yeremia, sehingga disiarkan di seluruh kerajaan Koresh secara lisan dan tulisan pengumuman ini:

¹In the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom and also put it in writing:

²"Beginilah perintah Koresh, raja Persia: Segala kerajaan di bumi telah dikaruniakan kepadaku oleh TUHAN, Allah semesta langit. Ia menugaskan aku untuk mendirikan rumah bagi-Nya di Yerusalem, yang terletak di Yehuda.

²"Thus says Cyrus king of Persia: The LORD, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth, and he has charged me to build him a house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah.

³Siapa di antara kamu termasuk umat-Nya, Allahnya menyertainya! Biarlah ia berangkat pulang ke Yerusalem, yang terletak di Yehuda, dan mendirikan rumah TUHAN. Allah Israel, yakni Allah yang diam di Yerusalem.

³Whoever is among you of all his people, may his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and rebuild the house of the LORD, the God of Israel--he is the God who is in Jerusalem.

⁴Dan setiap orang yang tertinggal, di manapun ia ada sebagai pendatang, harus disokong oleh penduduk setempat dengan perak dan emas, harta benda dan ternak, di samping persembahan sukarela bagi rumah Allah yang ada di Yerusalem."

⁴And let each survivor, in whatever place he sojourns, be assisted by the men of his place with silver and gold, with goods and with beasts, besides freewill offerings for the house of God that is in Jerusalem."

⁵Maka berkemaslah kepala-kepala kaum keluarga orang Yehuda dan orang Benyamin, serta para imam dan orang-orang Lewi, yakni setiap orang yang hatinya digerakkan Allah untuk berangkat pulang dan mendirikan rumah TUHAN yang ada di Yerusalem.

⁵Then rose up the heads of the fathers' houses of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests and the Levites, everyone whose spirit God had stirred to go up to rebuild the house of the LORD that is in Jerusalem.

⁶Dan segala orang di sekeliling mereka membantu mereka dengan barang-barang perak, dengan emas, harta benda dan ternak dan dengan pemberian yang indah-indah, selain dari segala sesuatu yang dipersembahkan dengan sukarela.

⁶And all who were about them aided them with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, with beasts, and with costly wares, besides all that was freely offered.

⁷Pula raja Koresh menyuruh mengeluarkan perlengkapan rumah TUHAN yang telah diangkut Nebukadnezar dari Yerusalem dan yang ditaruhnya di dalam kuil allahnya.

⁷Cyrus the king also brought out the vessels of the house of the LORD that Nebuchadnezzar had carried away from Jerusalem and placed in the house of his gods.

⁸Koresh, raja Persia itu, menyuruh mengeluarkan semuanya itu di bawah pengawasan Mitredat, bendahara raja, yang menghitung seluruhnya bagi Sesbazar, pembesar di Yehuda.

⁸Cyrus king of Persia brought these out in charge of Mithredath the treasurer, who counted them out to Sheshbazzar the prince of Judah.

⁹Inilah daftarnya: tiga puluh bokor emas, seribu bokor perak, dua puluh sembilan pisau,

⁹And this was the number of them: 30 basins of gold, 1,000 basins of silver, 29 censers,

¹⁰tiga puluh piala emas, pula empat ratus sepuluh piala perak, seribu buah barang-barang lain.

¹⁰30 bowls of gold, 410 bowls of silver, and 1,000 other vessels;

¹¹Barang-barang emas dan perak itu seluruhnya berjumlah lima ribu empat ratus. Semuanya itu dibawa oleh Sesbazar sewaktu orang-orang buangan itu dibawa pulang dari negeri Babel ke Yerusalem.

¹¹all the vessels of gold and of silver were 5,400. All these did Sheshbazzar bring up, when the exiles were brought up from Babylonia to Jerusalem.
