1 Και εν τω πρωτω ετει Κυρου του βασιλεως της Περσιας, δια να πληρωθη ο λογος του Κυριου ο δια στοματος του Ιερεμιου, διηγειρεν ο Κυριος το πνευμα του Κυρου βασιλεως της Περσιας, και διεκηρυξε δι' ολου του βασιλειου αυτου, και μαλιστα εγγραφως, λεγων,	1 In the first year of Cyrus, king of the Persians, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus, king of the Persians, so that the word of the Lord from the mouth of Jeremiah would be fulfilled. And he sent out a voice, throughout his entire kingdom, and also in writing, saying:
2 Ουτω λεγει Κυρος η βασιλευς της Περσιας? παντα τα βασιλεια της γης εδωκεν εις εμε Κυριος ο Θεος του ουρανου? και αυτος προσεταξεν εις εμε να οικοδομησω εις αυτον οικον εν Ιερουσαλημ, ητις ειναι εν τη Ιουδαια?	2 “Thus says Cyrus, the king of the Persians: The Lord, the God of heaven, has given all the kingdoms of the earth to me, and he himself has instructed me that I should build a house for him in Jerusalem, which is in Judea.
3 τις εξ υμων ειναι εκ παντος του λαου αυτου; ο Θεος αυτου εστω μετ' αυτου, και ας αναβη εις Ιερουσαλημ, ητις ειναι εν τη Ιουδαια, και ας οικοδομηση τον οικον Κυριου του Θεου του Ισραηλ? αυτος ειναι ο Θεος ο εν Ιερουσαλημ?	3 Who among you is from his entire people? May his God be with him. Let him ascend to Jerusalem, which is in Judea, and let him build the house of the Lord, the God of Israel. He is the God who is in Jerusalem.
4 παντα δε απολειπομενον, εκ παντων των τοπων, οπου παροικει, ας βοηθησωσιν αυτον οι ανδρες του τοπου αυτου με αργυριον και με χρυσιον και με αγαθα και με κτηνη, εκτος της προαιρετικης προσφορας δια τον οικον του Θεου, τον εν Ιερουσαλημ.	4 And let all who remain, in all the places wherever they may live, assist him, each man from his place, with silver and gold, and goods and cattle, in addition to whatever they may offer voluntarily to the temple of God, which is in Jerusalem.”
5 Τοτε εσηκωθησαν οι αρχηγοι των πατριων του Ιουδα και του Βενιαμιν και οι ιερεις και οι Λευιται, μετα παντων οσων το πνευμα διηγειρεν ο Θεος εις το να αναβωσι δια να οικοδομησωσι τον οικον του Κυριου, τον εν Ιερουσαλημ?	5 And the leaders of the fathers from Judah and from Benjamin, with the priests, and the Levites, and all those whose spirit was stirred by God, rose up, so that they might ascend to build the temple of the Lord, which was in Jerusalem.
6 και παντες οι περιξ αυτων εβοηθησαν αυτους με σκευη αργυρα, με χρυσιον, με αγαθα και με κτηνη και με πολυτιμα πραγματα, εκτος πασων των προαιρετικων προσφορων.	6 And all those who were all around assisted their hands with vessels of silver and gold, with goods and cattle, with equipment, in addition to whatever they had offered freely.
7 Και εξηγαγεν ο βασιλευς Κυρος τα σκευη του οικου του Κυριου, τα οποια ο Ναβουχοδονοσορ ειχε φερει απο Ιερουσαλημ και θεσει αυτα εν τω οικω του Θεου αυτου?	7 Likewise, king Cyrus offered the vessels of the temple of the Lord, which Nebuchadnezzar had taken from Jerusalem and had placed in the temple of his god.
8 και εξηγαγε ταυτα Κυρος ο βασιλευς της Περσιας δια χειρος του Μιθρεδαθ του θησαυροφυλακος, και ηριθμησεν αυτα εις τον Σασαβασσαρ τον αρχοντα της Ιουδαιας.	8 Now Cyrus, king of Persia, offered these by the hand of Mithredath, the son of the treasurer, and he counted these out to Sheshbazzar, the leader of Judah.
9 Και ουτος ειναι ο αριθμος αυτων? τριακοντα δισκοι χρυσοι, χιλιοι δισκοι αργυροι, εικοσιεννεα μαχαιραι,	9 And this is their number: thirty gold bowls, one thousand silver bowls, twenty-nine knives, thirty gold cups,
10 τριακοντα φιαλαι χρυσαι, τετρακοσιαι δεκα φιαλαι αργυραι δευτεραι, αλλα σκευη χιλια.	10 four hundred ten of a second kind of silver cup, one thousand other vessels.
11 Παντα τα σκευη τα χρυσα και αργυρα ησαν πεντακισχιλια και τετρακοσια? τα παντα ανεβιβασεν ο Σασαβασσαρ μετα των αιχμαλωτων των αναβιβασθεντων απο Βαβυλωνος εις Ιερουσαλημ.	11 All the vessels of gold and silver were five thousand four hundred. Sheshbazzar brought all these, with those who ascended from the transmigration of Babylon, into Jerusalem.
