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:

¹Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of Yahweh “Yahweh” is God’s proper Name, sometimes rendered “LORD” (all caps) in other translations. 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,

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.

²“Thus says Cyrus king of Persia, ‘Yahweh, the God The Hebrew word rendered “God” is “Elohim.” of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he has commanded me to build him a house in 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.

³Whoever there 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 build the house of Yahweh, the God of Israel (he is God), which is in 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!'

⁴Whoever is left, in any place where he lives, let the men of his place help him with silver, with gold, with goods, and with animals, besides the freewill offering for God’s house which is in Jerusalem.’”

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

⁵Then the heads of fathers’ households of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, even all whose spirit God had stirred to go up rose up to build the house of Yahweh which is in Jerusalem.

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

⁶All those who were around 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.

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

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

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

⁸even those, Cyrus king of Persia brought out by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and numbered them to Sheshbazzar, the prince of Judah.

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

⁹This is the number of them: thirty platters of gold, one thousand platters of silver, twenty-nine knives,

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

¹⁰thirty bowls of gold, silver bowls of a second sort four hundred and ten, and other vessels one 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 and four hundred. Sheshbazzar brought all these up, when the captives were brought up from Babylon to Jerusalem.
