Retour d’exil avec Zorobabel 1.1–6.22
Edit de Cyrus
1 La première année du règne de Cyrus sur la Perse, l'Eternel réveilla l'esprit de Cyrus, roi de Perse, afin que s'accomplisse la parole de l'Eternel prononcée par la bouche de Jérémie, et il fit faire de vive voix, et même par écrit, la proclamation que voici dans tout son royaume:
2 «Voici ce que dit Cyrus, roi de Perse: L'Eternel, le Dieu du ciel, m'a donné tous les royaumes de la terre et m'a désigné pour lui construire un temple à Jérusalem, en Juda. 3 Qui parmi vous fait partie de son peuple? Que son Dieu soit avec lui et qu'il monte[a] à Jérusalem, en Juda, pour reconstruire la maison de l'Eternel, le Dieu d'Israël! C'est lui, le Dieu qui réside à Jérusalem. 4 Partout où s’est installé le reste du peuple de l'Eternel, les habitants de l'endroit lui donneront de l'argent, de l'or, du matériel et du bétail, avec des offrandes volontaires pour la maison de Dieu à Jérusalem.»
5 Les chefs de famille de Juda et de Benjamin, les prêtres et les Lévites, tous ceux dont Dieu réveilla l'esprit, se levèrent pour aller reconstruire la maison de l'Eternel à Jérusalem. 6 Tous leurs voisins leur donnèrent des objets en argent, de l'or, du matériel, du bétail et des choses de valeur, en plus de toutes les offrandes volontaires. 7 Le roi Cyrus rendit les ustensiles de la maison de l'Eternel que Nebucadnetsar avait amenés de Jérusalem et placés dans le temple de son dieu. 8 Cyrus, roi de Perse, les rendit par l’intermédiaire de Mithredath, le trésorier, qui en fit le compte pour Sheshbatsar, le prince de Juda. 9 En voici la liste: 30 bassins en or, 1000 bassins en argent, 29 couteaux, 10 30 coupes en or, 410 coupes en argent de valeur secondaire et 1000 autres ustensiles. 11 Le nombre total d’objets en or et en argent était de 5400. Tout cela, Sheshbatsar le ramena de Babylone à Jérusalem avec ceux qui revenaient d’exil.

New King James Version
End of the Babylonian Captivity(A)
1 Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the Lord (B)by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, (C)so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and also put it in writing, saying,
2 Thus says Cyrus king of Persia:
All the kingdoms of the earth the Lord God of heaven has given me. And He has (D)commanded me to build Him a [a]house at Jerusalem which is in Judah. 3 Who 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 the Lord God of Israel (E)(He is God), which is in Jerusalem. 4 And whoever is left in any place where he dwells, let the men of his place help him with silver and gold, with goods and livestock, besides the freewill offerings for the house of God which is in Jerusalem.
5 Then the heads of the fathers’ houses of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests and the Levites, with all whose spirits (F)God [b]had moved, arose to go up and build the house of the Lord which is in Jerusalem. 6 And all those who were around them [c]encouraged them with articles of silver and gold, with goods and livestock, and with precious things, besides all that was (G)willingly offered.
7 (H)King Cyrus also brought out the articles of the house of the Lord, (I)which Nebuchadnezzar had taken from Jerusalem and put in the [d]temple of his gods; 8 and Cyrus king of Persia brought them out by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and counted them out to (J)Sheshbazzar the prince of Judah. 9 This is the number of them: thirty gold platters, one thousand silver platters, twenty-nine knives, 10 thirty gold basins, four hundred and ten silver basins of a similar kind, and one thousand other articles. 11 All the articles of gold and silver were five thousand four hundred. All these Sheshbazzar took with the captives who were brought from Babylon to Jerusalem.

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.
