Kuuros Oo Ku Caawiyey Masaafurintii Dib U Noqosho

In Eraygii Rabbiga ee Yeremyaah afkiisa ka soo baxay uu ahaado aawadeed, sannaddii kowaad oo Kuuros oo ahaa boqorkii Faaris ayaa Rabbigu kiciyey ruuxii Kuuros oo ahaa boqorkii Faaris, oo isna boqortooyadiisii oo dhan ayuu ogeysiis ugu dhawaaqay oo weliba qoray, oo wuxuu yidhi, Kuuros oo ah boqorka Faaris wuxuu leeyahay, Boqortooyooyinka dhulka oo dhan waxaa i siiyey Rabbiga ah Ilaaha samada; oo wuxuu igu amray inaan isaga guri uga dhiso Yeruusaalem oo ku taal dalka Yahuudah. Haddaba ku alla kii idinku dhex jira oo dadkiisa ah Ilaahiisu ha la jiro, oo isna ha tago Yeruusaalem oo dalka Yahuudah ku taal, oo ha dhiso guriga Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil oo ku yaal Yeruusaalem. (Isagu waa Ilaah.) Oo ku alla kii ku hadha meesha uu deggan yahay, dadka ay isku degmada yihiin ha ku caawiyaan lacag iyo dahab, iyo xoolo mood iyo noolba ah, oo ayan ku jirin qurbaanka ay ikhtiyaarkooda ugu bixiyaan guriga Ilaah oo Yeruusaalem ku yaal.

Markaasaa waxaa kacay madaxdii qolooyinka reer Yahuudah iyo reer Benyaamiin, iyo wadaaddadii, iyo reer Laawi, iyo xataa dhammaan intii kale ee Ilaah ruuxooda kiciyey si ay u tagaan oo ay u dhisaan guriga Rabbiga oo Yeruusaalem ku yaal. Oo kulli intii hareerahooda ku wareegsanayd oo dhammu waxay gacmahooda ku xoogeeyeen weelal lacag ah iyo dahab, iyo xoolo mood iyo noolba ah, iyo waxyaalo qaali ah, oo wixii ikhtiyaarka loo bixiyey ayan ku jirin. Oo weliba Kuurosna wuxuu soo bixiyey weelashii guriga Rabbiga, oo Nebukadnesar uu Yeruusaalem ka soo bixiyey oo uu dhigay gurigii ilaahyadiisa. Oo Kuuros oo ahaa boqorkii Faaris ayaa alaabtaas soo bixiyey oo u dhiibay qasnajigii Mitredaad ahaa, oo isna wuxuu u tiriyey Sheeshbasar, oo reer Yahuudah amiir u ahaa. Oo tiradoodiina waa tan, soddon saxan oo dahab ah, iyo kun saxan oo lacag ah, iyo sagaal iyo labaatan mindiyood, 10 iyo soddon maddiibadood oo dahab ah, iyo afar boqol iyo toban maddiibadood oo ah lacagta caynka labaad ah, iyo kun weel oo kale. 11 Oo kulligood weelashii dahabka iyo lacagta ahaa waxay isku ahaayeen shan kun iyo afar boqol. Oo intaas oo dhan Sheeshbasar wuu wada keenay, markii Yeruusaalem la keenay maxaabiistii Baabuloon laga soo celiyey.

Cyrus Helps the Exiles to Return(A)

In the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, in order to fulfill the word of the Lord spoken by Jeremiah,(B) the Lord moved the heart(C) of Cyrus king of Persia to make a proclamation throughout his realm and also to put it in writing:

“This is what Cyrus king of Persia says:

“‘The Lord, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth and he has appointed(D) me to build(E) a temple for him at Jerusalem in Judah. Any of his people among you may go up to Jerusalem in Judah and build the temple of the Lord, the God of Israel, the God who is in Jerusalem, and may their God be with them. And in any locality where survivors(F) may now be living, the people are to provide them with silver and gold,(G) with goods and livestock, and with freewill offerings(H) for the temple of God(I) in Jerusalem.’”(J)

Then the family heads of Judah and Benjamin,(K) and the priests and Levites—everyone whose heart God had moved(L)—prepared to go up and build the house(M) of the Lord in Jerusalem. All their neighbors assisted them with articles of silver and gold,(N) with goods and livestock, and with valuable gifts, in addition to all the freewill offerings.

Moreover, King Cyrus brought out the articles belonging to the temple of the Lord, which Nebuchadnezzar had carried away from Jerusalem and had placed in the temple of his god.[a](O) Cyrus king of Persia had them brought by Mithredath the treasurer, who counted them out to Sheshbazzar(P) the prince of Judah.

This was the inventory:

gold dishes30
silver dishes1,000
silver pans[b]29
10 gold bowls30
matching silver bowls410
other articles1,000

11 In all, there were 5,400 articles of gold and of silver. Sheshbazzar brought all these along with the exiles when they came up from Babylon to Jerusalem.
