¹Now in 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, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,

¹Potom prvého roku Cýra, perzského kráľa, aby sa naplnilo slovo Hospodinovo z úst Jeremiáša, zobudil Hospodin ducha Cýra, perzského kráľa, a tak dal vyhlásiť po celom svojom kráľovstve, a to i písmom týmito slovami:

²Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, The LORD God of heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he hath charged me to build him an house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah.

²Takto hovorí Cýrus, perzský kráľ: Hospodin, Bôh nebies, mi dal všetky kráľovstvá zeme a on mi naložil, aby som mu vystavil dom v Jeruzaleme, ktorý je v Judsku.

³Who is there 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 the LORD God of Israel, (he is the God,) which is in Jerusalem.

³Preto, kto je kde medzi vami zo všetkého jeho ľudu, nech je jeho Bôh s ním, a nech ide hore do Jeruzalema, ktorý je v Judsku, a nech stavia dom Hospodina, Boha Izraelovho; to je ten Bôh, ktorý je v Jeruzaleme.

⁴And whosoever remaineth in any place where he sojourneth, let the men of his place help him with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts, beside the freewill offering for the house of God that is in Jerusalem.

⁴A každému, kto pozostal, na ktoromkoľvek mieste, kde pohostíni, nech mu pomôžu ľudia jeho miesta striebrom a zlatom, majetkom a dobytkom popri dobrovoľnej obeti pre dom Boha, ktorý je v Jeruzaleme.

⁵Then rose up the chief of the fathers of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, with all them whose spirit God had raised, to go up to build the house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem.

⁵A tak povstaly hlavy otcov pokolenia Júdu a Benjamina a kňazi a Leviti, každý, ktorého ducha zobudil Bôh, aby išiel hore staväť dom Hospodinov, ktorý je v Jeruzaleme.

⁶And all they that were about them strengthened their hands with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and with beasts, and with precious things, beside all that was willingly offered.

⁶A všetci, ktorí bývali okolo nich, posilňovali ich ruky striebornými nádobami, zlatom, majetkom a dobytkom a drahocennými vecami krome všetkého toho, čo dali dobrovoľne.

⁷Also Cyrus the king brought forth the vessels of the house of the LORD, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought forth out of Jerusalem, and had put them in the house of his gods;

⁷A kráľ Cýrus vydal nádoby domu Hospodinovho, ktoré bol pobral Nabuchodonozor z Jeruzalema a bol ich dal do domu svojho boha.

⁸Even those did Cyrus king of Persia bring forth by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and numbered them unto Sheshbazzar, the prince of Judah.

⁸A Cýrus, perzský kráľ, ich vydal skrze Mitredata, správcu pokladu, ktorý ich odčítal Šešbacarovi, judskému kniežaťu.

⁹And this is the number of them: thirty chargers of gold, a thousand chargers of silver, nine and twenty knives,

⁹A toto bol ich počet: tridsať zlatých mís, tisíc strieborných mís, dvadsaťdeväť veľkých nožov,

¹⁰Thirty basins of gold, silver basins of a second sort four hundred and ten, and other vessels a thousand.

¹⁰tridsať zlatých pohárov, štyristo desať strieborných pohárov druhotriednych a iných nádob tisíc.

¹¹All the vessels of gold and of silver were five thousand and four hundred. All these did Sheshbazzar bring up with them of the captivity that were brought up from Babylon unto Jerusalem.

¹¹Všetkých nádob, zlatých a strieborných, bolo päť tisíc štyristo. Všetko to odniesol Šešbacar spolu vtedy, keď sa stehoval zajatý ľud z Babylona hore do Jeruzalema.
