17 igitur studiose eme dehac pecunia boves, arietes, agnos et oblationes et libamina eorum et offer easuper altare templi Dei vestri, quod est in Ierusalem.	17 That thou mayest buy speedily with this money bullocks, rams, lambs, with their meat offerings and their drink offerings, and offer them upon the altar of the house of your God which is in Jerusalem.

23 Omne, quod requirit Deus caeli, tribuatur diligenter indomo Dei caeli, ne forte irascatur contra regnum regis et filiorum eius.	23 Whatsoever is commanded by the God of heaven, let it be diligently done for the house of the God of heaven: for why should there be wrath against the realm of the king and his sons?
24 Vobis quoque notum facimus de universis sacerdotibus et Levitis et cantoribus etianitoribus, oblatis et ministris domus Dei huius, ut tributum et annonas etvectigal non habeatis potestatem imponendi super eos.	24 Also we certify you, that touching any of the priests and Levites, singers, porters, Nethinims, or ministers of this house of God, it shall not be lawful to impose toll, tribute, or custom, upon them.
25 Tu autem, Esdra, secundum sapientiam Dei tui, quae est in manu tua, constituepraesides et iudices, ut iudicent omni populo, qui est trans flumen, hisvidelicet, qui noverunt legem Dei tui; sed et imperitos docete.	25 And thou, Ezra, after the wisdom of thy God, that is in thine hand, set magistrates and judges, which may judge all the people that are beyond the river, all such as know the laws of thy God; and teach ye them that know them not.
26 Et omnis, quinon fecerit legem Dei tui et legem regis diligenter, iudicium erit de eo, sivein mortem sive in exsilium sive in damnum substantiae eius vel certe in carcerem”.	26 And whosoever will not do the law of thy God, and the law of the king, let judgment be executed speedily upon him, whether it be unto death, or to banishment, or to confiscation of goods, or to imprisonment.
27 Benedictus Dominus, Deus patrum nostrorum, qui dedit hoc in corde regis, utglorificaret domum Domini, quae est in Ierusalem,	27 Blessed be the LORD God of our fathers, which hath put such a thing as this in the king's heart, to beautify the house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem:
28 et in me inclinavitmisericordiam regis et consiliariorum eius et cunctorum principum eiuspotentium. Et ego confortatus manu Domini Dei mei, quae erat in me, congregavide Israel principes, qui ascenderent mecum.	28 And hath extended mercy unto me before the king, and his counsellers, and before all the king's mighty princes. And I was strengthened as the hand of the LORD my God was upon me, and I gathered together out of Israel chief men to go up with me.
