In 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:
Now
in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that
the word of Yahweh
by
the mouth
of
Jeremiah might
be
accomplished
, Yahweh
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,
“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.
Thus
says
Cyrus king of Persia ,
All
the kingdoms
of
the
earth
has
Yahweh
, the God of heaven, given me ;
and
he
has charged
me to build him
a house in
Jerusalem ,
which
is
in Judah.
Whoever 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.
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 Yahweh
, the God of Israel (
he is God ),
which
is in Jerusalem.
And
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. ’”
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 animals,
besides
the
freewill -
offering for the house of God which
is
in Jerusalem.
So
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.
Then
rose
up
the heads of fathers'
[houses]
of
Judah and Benjamin, and
the priests ,
and the
Levites ,
even
all
whose spirit God had stirred to go up to
build
the house of Yahweh
which
is
in Jerusalem.
And
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
.
All those
who
were
round
about
them strengthened
their
hands
with vessels
of silver ,
with
gold, with goods ,
and with
animals
, and with precious
things
, besides
all that
was
willingly
offered
.
King
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 .
Also Cyrus
the
king
brought forth
the vessels
of
the house of Yahweh,
which
Nebuchadnezzar had brought
forth
out
of
Jerusalem ,
and had
put
in the house
of his gods ;
Cyrus king of Persia had
them
brought
out
by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, who
counted
them out
to Sheshbazzar the prince of Judah.
even
those
did
Cyrus king of Persia bring
forth
by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and
numbered
them to Sheshbazzar ,
the prince of Judah.
