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,

¹Prve godine perzijskoga kralja Kira, da bi se ispunila riječ Jahvina objavljena na Jeremijina usta, nadahnu Jahve perzijskoga kralja Kira te on objavi po svemu svojem kraljevstvu, usmeno i pismeno:

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.

²"Ovako veli perzijski kralj Kir: 'Sva zemaljska kraljevstva dade mi Jahve, Bog nebeski. On mi naloži da mu sagradim Dom u Jeruzalemu, u Judeji.

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.

³Tko je god među vama od svega njegova naroda, Bog njegov bio s njim! Neka ide u Jeruzalem u Judeji i neka gradi Dom Jahvi, Bogu Izraelovu, Bogu koji stoluje u Jeruzalemu.

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.’”

⁴I gdje god se još zadržao ostatak toga naroda, neka ga stanovništvo mjesta u kojima boravi podupre srebrom i zlatom, imanjem i stokom i dragovoljnim prinosima za Dom Božji u Jeruzalemu.'"

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.

⁵Tada ustadoše glavari obitelji Jude i Benjamina, svećenici i leviti, i svi kojima je Bog potaknuo duh i krenuše graditi Dom Jahvin u Jeruzalemu.

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.

⁶I svi su im susjedi pomagali: srebrom, zlatom, darovima u naravi, stokom, dragocjenostima mnogim, osim svega što su dragovoljno prilagali.

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;

⁷Kralj Kir iznese posuđe Jahvina Doma koje Nabukodonozor bijaše odnio iz Jeruzalema i stavio u hram svoga boga.

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

⁸Kir, kralj perzijski, uruči ga Mitredatu, rizničaru, koji ga izbroji judejskom knezu Šešbasaru.

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

⁹Evo njegova popisa. Zlatnih zdjela: trideset; srebrnih zdjela: tisuću i dvadeset devet;

¹⁰thirty bowls of gold, silver bowls of a second sort four hundred and ten, and other vessels one thousand.

¹⁰zlatnih čaša: trideset; srebrnih čaša: četiri stotine i deset; ostalog posuđa: tisuću.

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.

¹¹Svega zlatnog i srebrnog posuđa: pet tisuća i četiri stotine. Sve je to odnio Šešbasar kada se sužnji vraćahu iz Babilona u Jeruzalem.
