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,

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:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.’”

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 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.

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.

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.

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 Yahweh, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought out of Jerusalem, and had put 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, Cyrus king of Persia brought out by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and numbered them to Sheshbazzar, the prince of Judah.

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

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

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

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