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,

¹Yô xbên chihab roquic chokß rey aran Persia laj Ciro nak quicßulman li cßaßru quixye li profeta Jeremías joß quiyeheß re xban li Kâcuaß Dios.

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.

²Aßan aßin li resil li quixtakla: —Joßcaßin naxye laj Ciro lix reyeb laj Persia: Li Kâcuaß Dios li cuan saß choxa xqßue rubel incuanquil chixjunileb li tenamit li cuanqueb saß ruchichßochß. Ut xqßue ajcuiß saß inbên xyîbanquil li templo aran Jerusalén xcuênt Judá.

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.

³Joßcan nak cui lâex xcomonex lix tenamit li Dios, ayukex saß li tenamit Jerusalén xcuênt Judá ut aran têyîb li rochoch li Kâcuaß, lix Dioseb laj Israel. Aßan li tzßakal Dios li nequeßxlokßoni aran Jerusalén. Ut aß taxak li Kâcuaß chicuânk êriqßuin.

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.’”

⁴Ut li joß qßuial chic teßcanâk cheßxtenkßaheb li xiqueb re chi cablac riqßuin xqßuebal li plata, li oro, ut li cßaßak re ru tâcßanjelak chiruheb. Teßxqßue li quetômk ut teßxqßue lix mayejeb li joß qßuial tâalâk saß xchßôleb xqßuebal re lix templo li Kâcuaß Dios aran Jerusalén.—

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.

⁵Ut li Kâcuaß Dios quixtochß lix chßôleb li nequeßcßamoc be saß xyânkeb li ralal xcßajol laj Judá ut laj Benjamín joßqueb ajcuiß laj tij ut eb laj levita. Ut queßxcauresi ribeb chi xic Jerusalén re xyîbanquil lix templo li Kâcuaß.

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.

⁶Ut chixjunileb li cuanqueb chi nachß riqßuineb queßxtenkßaheb. Queßxqßue li plata, queßxqßue li oro ut li cßaßak re ru li tâcßanjelak chiruheb. Queßxqßue li xul li nequeßîkan ut nabal li cßaßak re ru terto xtzßak. Ut queßxqßue ajcuiß lix mayej aß yal joß nimal x-ala chak saß xchßôl li junjûnk.

⁷Ut li rey Ciro quirisi chak li secß li nacßanjelac saß li rochoch li Dios, li queßelkßâc ut queßqßueheß saß rochocheb lix dioseb laj Babilonia xban li rey Nabucodonosor.
