Esdras 1
Nueva Versión Internacional
Decreto de Ciro
1 En el primer año del reinado de Ciro, rey de Persia, el Señor movió el espíritu del rey para que promulgara un decreto en todo su reino y así se cumpliera la palabra del Señor por medio del profeta Jeremías. Tanto oralmente como por escrito, el rey decretó lo siguiente:
2 «Esto es lo que ordena Ciro, rey de Persia:
»El Señor, Dios del cielo, que me ha dado todos los reinos de la tierra, me ha encargado que le construya un templo en la ciudad de Jerusalén, que está en Judá. 3 Por tanto, cualquiera que pertenezca a Judá, suba a Jerusalén a construir el templo del Señor, Dios de Israel, el Dios que habita en Jerusalén; y que Dios lo acompañe. 4 También ordeno que los habitantes de cada lugar donde haya judíos sobrevivientes los ayuden dándoles plata y oro, bienes y ganado, y ofrendas voluntarias para el templo de Dios en Jerusalén».
El regreso de los judíos
5 Entonces los jefes de familia de Benjamín y de Judá, junto con los sacerdotes y levitas, es decir, con todos aquellos en cuyo espíritu Dios puso el deseo de construir el templo del Señor, se dispusieron a subir a Jerusalén. 6 Todos sus vecinos los ayudaron con plata y oro, bienes y ganado, objetos valiosos y todo tipo de ofrendas voluntarias.
7 Además, el rey Ciro hizo sacar los utensilios que Nabucodonosor se había llevado del Templo del Señor en Jerusalén y había depositado en el templo de su dios.[a] 8 Ciro, el rey de Persia, los entregó a su tesorero Mitrídates, el cual los contó y se los pasó a Sesbasar, gobernador de Judá.
9 El inventario de dichos utensilios fue el siguiente:
| tazones de oro | 30 |
| tazones de plata | 1,000 |
| cuchillos | 29 |
| 10 tazas de oro | 30 |
| tazas de plata | 410 |
| objetos diversos | 1,000 |
11 En total fueron cinco mil cuatrocientos los utensilios de oro y de plata.
Todos estos objetos los llevó Sesbasar a Jerusalén cuando a los deportados se les permitió regresar de Babilonia.

The Proclamation of Cyrus
1 (A)In the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, (B)that the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so (C)that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom and also put it in writing:
2 “Thus says Cyrus king of Persia: The Lord, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth, and (D)he has charged me to build him a house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah. 3 Whoever 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 rebuild the house of the Lord, the God of Israel—(E)he is the God who is in Jerusalem. 4 And let each survivor, in whatever place he sojourns, be assisted by the men of his place with silver and gold, with goods and with beasts, besides freewill offerings for the house of God that is in Jerusalem.”
5 Then rose up the heads of the fathers' houses of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests and the Levites, (F)everyone whose spirit (G)God had stirred to go up to rebuild the house of the Lord that is in Jerusalem. 6 And all who were about them (H)aided them with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, with beasts, and with costly wares, besides all that was freely offered. 7 (I)Cyrus the king also brought out the vessels of the house of the Lord that (J)Nebuchadnezzar had carried away from Jerusalem and placed in the house of his gods. 8 Cyrus king of Persia brought these out in the charge of (K)Mithredath the treasurer, who counted them out to (L)Sheshbazzar the prince of Judah. 9 And this was the number of them: (M)30 basins of gold, 1,000 basins of silver, 29 censers, 10 30 bowls of gold, 410 bowls of silver, and 1,000 other vessels; 11 all the vessels of gold and of silver were 5,400. All these did Sheshbazzar bring up, when the exiles were brought up from Babylonia to Jerusalem.

Cyrus Helps the Exiles to Return(A)
1 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:
2 “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. 3 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. 4 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)
5 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. 6 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.
7 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) 8 Cyrus king of Persia had them brought by Mithredath the treasurer, who counted them out to Sheshbazzar(P) the prince of Judah.
9 This was the inventory:
| gold dishes | 30 |
| silver dishes | 1,000 |
| silver pans[b] | 29 |
| 10 gold bowls | 30 |
| matching silver bowls | 410 |
| other articles | 1,000 |
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.
