¹Pärsia kuninga Koorese esimesel aastal - et läheks täide Issanda sõna Jeremija suust - äratas Issand Pärsia kuninga Koorese vaimu, nõnda et ta laskis kogu oma kuningriigis kuulutada ja ka kirjalikult öelda:

¹And in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of Jehovah by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, Jehovah stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, and he made a proclamation throughout his kingdom, and also in writing, saying,

²'Nõnda ütleb Koores, Pärsia kuningas: Issand, taevaste Jumal, on andnud mulle kõik kuningriigid maa peal ja ta on mind käskinud ehitada temale koja Juudamaal olevas Jeruusalemmas.

²Thus says Cyrus king of Persia: All the kingdoms of the earth has Jehovah the God of the heavens given to me, and he has charged me to build him a house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah.

³Kes teie hulgas on tema rahvast, sellega olgu tema Jumal ja see mingu Jeruusalemma, mis on Juudamaal, ja ehitagu üles Issanda, Iisraeli Jumala koda; tema on see Jumal, kes asub Jeruusalemmas.

³Whosoever 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 Jehovah the God of Israel -- he is God -- which is at Jerusalem.

⁴Ja igaühte, kes iganes on jäänud mõnesse paika, kus ta võõrana elab, aidaku selle paiga elanikud hõbeda ja kullaga, asjade ja kariloomadega ning vabatahtlike andidega Jumala koja heaks Jeruusalemmas!'

⁴And whosoever remains in any place where he sojourns, let the men of his place help him with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts, besides the voluntary offering for the house of God which is at Jerusalem.

⁵Siis tõusid Juuda ja Benjamini perekondade peamehed ning preestrid ja leviidid, kõik, kelle vaimu Jumal äratas, et minna üles ehitama Issanda koda Jeruusalemmas.

⁵And the chief fathers of Judah and Benjamin rose up, and the priests, and the Levites, even all those whose spirit God had stirred, to go up to build the house of Jehovah which is at Jerusalem.

⁶Ja kõik nende naabrid toetasid neid hõberiistade, kulla, vara, kariloomade ja kalliste asjadega lisaks kõigile vabatahtlikele andidele.

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

⁷Ja kuningas Koores laskis välja tuua Issanda koja riistad, mis Nebukadnetsar oli Jeruusalemmast ära toonud ja oli pannud oma jumalakotta.

⁷And king Cyrus brought forth the vessels of the house of Jehovah, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought forth out of Jerusalem and had put in the house of his god.

⁸Koores, Pärsia kuningas, laskis need tuua varahoidja Mitredati kätte, ja tema luges neid Sesbassarile, Juuda vürstile.

⁸And Cyrus king of Persia brought them forth by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, who counted them out to Sheshbazzar the prince of Judah.

⁹Ja nende arv oli järgmine: kolmkümmend kuldkaussi, tuhat hõbekaussi, kakskümmend üheksa nuga;

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

¹⁰kolmkümmend kuldpeekrit, nelisada kümme teisejärgulist hõbepeekrit, tuhat muud riista.

¹⁰thirty basons of gold, silver basons of a second [sort] four hundred and ten, [and] other vessels a thousand.

¹¹Kuld- ja hõberiistu oli kokku viis tuhat nelisada; kõik need võttis Sesbassar kaasa, kui vangid viidi Paabelist Jeruusalemma.

¹¹All the vessels of gold and of silver were five thousand four hundred. The whole did Sheshbazzar bring up, when they of the captivity were brought up from Babylon to Jerusalem.
