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,
1 Persiya bonkoono Sirus koytara jiiri sintina, Rabbi na Persiya bonkoono Sirus biya feeri zama Rabbi sanno kaŋ a ci Irimiya do ma to se. Kala bonkoono ne i ma fe nga mayra laabo kulu ra, i ma hantum mo ka ne:
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 «Haŋ kaŋ Persiya bonkoono Sirus ci neeya: Rabbi Irikoy kaŋ go beene na ndunnya koytarayey kulu no ay se. A n'ay lordi* mo ka ne ay ma windi cina nga se Urusalima* kaŋ go Yahuda laabo ra.
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.
3 Boro kulu kaŋ a borey kuray haray wane no araŋ game ra, a Irikoyo ma goro a banda. Bora ma koy Urusalima, kaŋ go Yahuda ra, ka Rabbi, Israyla* Irikoyo fuwo cina (nga no ga ti Irikoy), wo kaŋ go Urusalima.
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.’”
4 Boro kulu kaŋ cindi, nangu kulu kaŋ ra no bora bara ga goro, kal a nango borey m'a gaa nda nzarfu nda wura, da jinayyaŋ, da almanyaŋ, hala nda bine yadda sargay* Irikoy windo kaŋ go Urusalima se.»
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.
5 Alwaato din Yahuda nda Benyamin kaayey windi arkusey, nda alfagey*, da Lawi borey tun, sanda borey kulu kaŋ Irikoy n'i biyey feeri i ma koy ka Rabbi windo kaŋ kaŋ din cina se, kaŋ go Urusalima ra.
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.
6 I gorokasiney kulu kaŋ go g'i windi n'i gaa da nzarfu taasayaŋ, da wura wane yaŋ, da jinayyaŋ, da almanyaŋ, da jinay caadanteyaŋ, hala nda bine yadda nooyaŋey kulu.
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;
7 Bonkoono Sirus mo na Rabbi fuwo jinayey kaa taray, wo kaŋ yaŋ Nebukadnezzar kande ka fun Urusalima ka daŋ nga toorey windo ra.
8even those, Cyrus king of Persia brought out by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and numbered them to Sheshbazzar, the prince of Judah.
8 Ngey mo Persiya bonkoono Sirus n'i kaa taray jinay jisikwa kaŋ se i ga ne Mitredat kambe ra, k'i lasaabu Sesbazzar se, kaŋ Yahuda jine boro no.
9This is the number of them: thirty platters of gold, one thousand platters of silver, twenty-nine knives,
9 Woone no ga ti i lasaabuyaŋ: wura taasa waranza, da nzarfu taasa zambar fo, da zaama waranka cindi yagga,
10thirty bowls of gold, silver bowls of a second sort four hundred and ten, and other vessels one thousand.
10 da wura tu waranza, da nzarfu tu dumi fo, ngey mo zangu taaci nda iway no, ngey nda jinay dumi waani fooyaŋ mo i banda, zambar fo no.
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.
11 Wura nda nzarfu jinayey kulu margante, zambar gu da zangu taaci no. Woodin yaŋ kulu no Sesbazzar kande waato kaŋ borey ye ka kaa Urusalima ka fun Babila tamtara ra.
