1In the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, to fulfill the word of the LORD spoken through Jeremiah, the LORD stirred the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia to send a proclamation throughout his kingdom and to put it in writing as follows:
1ΚΑΙ ἐν τῷ πρώτῳ ἔτει Κύρου τοῦ βασιλέως Περσῶν, τοῦ τελεσθῆναι λόγον Κυρίου ἀπὸ στόματος Ἱερεμίου, ἐξήγειρε Κύριος τὸ πνεῦμα Κύρου βασιλέως Περσῶν, καὶ παρήγγειλε φωνὴν ἐν πάσῃ βασιλείᾳ αὐτοῦ, καί γε ἐν γραπτῷ, λέγων,
2“This is what Cyrus king of Persia says: ‘The LORD, the God of heaven, who has given me all the kingdoms of the earth, has appointed me to build a house for Him at Jerusalem in Judah.
2Οὕτως εἶπε Κύρος βασιλεὺς Περσῶν, πάσας τὰς βασιλείας τῆς γῆς ἔδωκέ μοι Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐπεσκέψατο ἐπʼ ἐμὲ τοῦ οἰκοδομῆσαι οἶκον αὐτῷ ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ τῇ ἐν τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ.
3Whoever among you belongs to His people, may his God be with him, and may he go to Jerusalem in Judah and build the house of the LORD, the God of Israel; He is the God who is in Jerusalem.
3Τίς ἐν ὑμῖν ἀπὸ παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ; καὶ ἔσται ὁ Θεὸς αὐτοῦ μετʼ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀναβήσεται εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ τὴν ἐν τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ, καὶ οἰκοδομησάτω τὸν οἶκον Θεοῦ Ἰσραὴλ· αὐτὸς ὁ Θεὸς ὁ ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ.
4And let every survivor, wherever he lives, be assisted by the men of that region with silver, gold, goods, and livestock, along with a freewill offering for the house of God in Jerusalem.’”
4Καὶ πᾶς ὁ καταλιπόμενος ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν τόπων οὗ αὐτὸς παροικεῖ ἐκεῖ, καὶ λήψονται αὐτὸν ἄνδρες τοῦ τόπου αὐτοῦ ἐν ἀργυρίῳ, καὶ χρυσίῳ, καὶ ἀποσκευῇ, καὶ κτήνεσι μετὰ τοῦ ἑκουσίου εἰς οἶκον τοῦ Θεοῦ τὸν ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ.
5So the family heads of Judah and Benjamin, along with the priests and Levites—everyone whose spirit God had stirred—prepared to go up and rebuild the house of the LORD in Jerusalem.
5Καὶ ἀνέστησαν ἄρχοντες τῶν πατριῶν τῶν Ἰούδα καὶ Βενιαμεὶν, καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ οἱ Λευεῖται, πάντων ὧν ἐξήγειρεν ὁ Θεὸς τὸ πνεῦμα αὐτῶν τοῦ ἀναβῆναι οἰκοδομῆσαι τὸν οἶκον Κυρίου τὸν ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ.
6And all their neighbors supported them with articles of silver and gold, with goods and livestock, and with valuables, in addition to all their freewill offerings.
6Καὶ πάντες οἱ κυκλόθεν ἐνίσχυσαν ἐν χερσὶν αὐτῶν ἐν σκεύεσιν ἀργυρίου, ἐν χρυσῷ, ἐν ἀποσκευῇ, καὶ ἐν κτήνεσι, καὶ ἐν ξενίοις, πάρεξ τῶν ἑκουσίων.
7King Cyrus also brought out the articles belonging to the house of the LORD that Nebuchadnezzar had carried away from Jerusalem and placed in the temple of his gods.
7Καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς Κύρος ἐξήνεγκε τὰ σκεύη οἴκου Κυρίου, ἃ ἔλαβε Ναβουχοδονόσορ ἀπὸ Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτὰ ἐν οἴκῳ θεοῦ αὐτοῦ·
8Cyrus king of Persia had them brought out by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, who counted them out to Sheshbazzar the prince of Judah.
8Καὶ ἐξήνεγκεν αὐτὰ Κύρος ὁ βασιλεὺς Περσῶν ἐπὶ χεῖρα Μιθραδάτου γασβαρηνοῦ, καὶ ἠρίθμησεν αὐτὰ τῷ Σασαβασὰρ τῷ ἄρχοντι τοῦ Ἰούδα.
9This was the inventory: 30 gold dishes, 1,000 silver dishes, 29 silver utensils,
9Καὶ οὗτος ὁ ἀριθμὸς αὐτῶν· ψυκτῆρες χρυσοῖ τριάκοντα, καὶ ψυκτῆρες ἀργυροῖ χίλιοι, παρηλλαγμένα ἐννέα καὶ εἴκοσι, κεφουρῆς χρυσοῖ τριάκοντα, καὶ ἀργυροῖ διπλοῖ τετρακόσια δέκα,
1030 gold bowls, 410 matching silver bowls, and 1,000 other articles.
10καὶ σκεύη ἕτερα χίλια.
11In all, there were 5,400 gold and silver articles. Sheshbazzar brought all these along when the exiles went up from Babylon to Jerusalem.
11Πάντα τὰ σκεύη τῷ χρυσῷ καὶ τῷ ἀργυρῷ πεντακισχίλια τετρακόσια, τὰ πάντα ἀναβαίνοντα μετὰ Σασαβασὰρ ἀπὸ τῆς ἀποικίας ἐκ Βαβυλῶνος εἰς Ἱερουσαλήμ.
