| 1 | 1 | In the first year of Cyrus king of the Persians, that the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremias might be fulfilled, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of the Persians: and he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and in writing also, saying: | in anno primo Cyri regis Persarum ut conpleretur verbum Domini ex ore Hieremiae suscitavit Dominus spiritum Cyri regis Persarum et transduxit vocem in universo regno suo etiam per scripturam dicens |
| 1 | 2 | Thus saith Cyrus king of the Persians: The Lord the God of heaven hath given to me all the kingdoms of the earth, and he hath charged me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judea. | haec dicit Cyrus rex Persarum omnia regna terrae dedit mihi Dominus Deus caeli et ipse praecepit mihi ut aedificarem ei domum in Hierusalem quae est in Iudaea |
| 1 | 3 | Who is there among you of all his people? His God be with him. Let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judea, and build the house of the Lord the God of Israel: he is the God that is in Jerusalem. | quis est in vobis de universo populo eius sit Deus illius cum ipso ascendat Hierusalem quae est in Iudaea et aedificet domum Domini Dei Israhel ipse est Deus qui est in Hierusalem |
| 1 | 4 | And let all the rest in all places wheresoever they dwell, help him every man from his place, with silver and gold, and goods, and cattle, besides that which they offer freely to the temple of God, which is in Jerusalem. | et omnes reliqui in cunctis locis ubicumque habitant adiuvent eum viri de loco suo argento et auro et substantia et pecoribus excepto quod voluntarie offerunt templo Dei quod est in Hierusalem |
| 1 | 5 | Then rose up the chief of the fathers of Juda and Benjamin, and the priests, and Levites, and every one whose spirit God had raised up, to go up to build the temple of the Lord, which was in Jerusalem. | et surrexerunt principes patrum de Iuda et Beniamin et sacerdotes et Levitae omnis cuius suscitavit Deus spiritum ut ascenderent ad aedificandum templum Domini quod erat in Hierusalem |
| 1 | 6 | And all they that were round about, helped their hands with vessels of silver, and gold, with goods, and with beasts, and with furniture, besides what they had offered on their own accord. | universique qui erant in circuitu adiuverunt manus eorum in vasis argenteis et aureis in substantia in iumentis in supellectili exceptis his quae sponte obtulerunt |
| 1 | 7 | And king Cyrus brought forth vessels of the temple of the Lord, which Nabuchodonosor had taken from Jerusalem, and had put them in the temple of his god. | rex quoque Cyrus protulit vasa templi Domini quae tulerat Nabuchodonosor de Hierusalem et posuerat ea in templo dei sui |
| 1 | 8 | Now Cyrus king of Persia brought them forth by the hand of Mithridates the son of Gazabar, and numbered them to Sassabasar the prince of Juda. | protulit autem ea Cyrus rex Persarum per manum Mitridatis filii Gazabar et adnumeravit ea Sasabassar principi Iudae |
| 1 | 9 | And this is the number of them: thirty bowls of gold, a thousand bowls of silver, nine and twenty knives, thirty cups of gold, | et hic est numerus eorum fialae aureae triginta fialae argenteae mille cultri viginti novem scyphi aurei triginta |
| 1 | 10 | Silver cups of a second sort, four hundred and ten: other vessels a thousand. | scyphi argentei secundi quadringenti decem vasa alia mille |
| 1 | 11 | All the vessels of gold and silver, five thousand four hundred: all these Sassabasar brought with them that came up from the captivity of Babylon to Jerusalem. | omnia vasa aurea et argentea quinque milia quadringenta universa tulit Sasabassar cum his qui ascendebant de transmigratione Babylonis in Hierusalem |
