1 Después de estas cosas, durante el reinado de Artajerjes, rey de Persia, vivió Esdras, hijo de Seraías, hijo de Azarías, hijo de Hilcías,
1 Now after these things, in the reign of Artaxerxes king of Persia, Ezra the son of Seraiah, the son of Azariah, the son of Hilkiah,

5 hijo de Abisúa, hijo de Finees, hijo de Eleazar, hijo de Aarón, el sumo sacerdote.
5 the son of Abishua, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the chief priest—
6 Este Esdras subió de Babilonia. Era un escriba experto en la ley de Moisés, que el Señor, Dios de Israel, había dado. El rey le concedió todo lo que pidió, porque el Señor su Dios lo ayudaba.
6 this Ezra went up from Babylon. He was a skilled scribe in the law of Moses, which Yahweh, the God of Israel, had given; and the king granted him all his request, according to Yahweh his God’s hand on him.
7 En el séptimo año del rey Artajerjes también subieron a Jerusalén algunos israelitas, sacerdotes, levitas, cantores, porteros y servidores del templo.
7 Some of the children of Israel, including some of the priests, the Levites, the singers, the gatekeepers, and the temple servants went up to Jerusalem in the seventh year of Artaxerxes the king.
8 Esdras llegó a Jerusalén en el quinto mes del séptimo año del rey.
8 He came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, which was in the seventh year of the king.
9 Había salido de Babilonia el primer día del primer mes y llegó a Jerusalén el primer día del quinto mes, porque su Dios lo ayudó.
9 For on the first day of the first month he began to go up from Babylon; and on the first day of the fifth month he came to Jerusalem, according to the good hand of his God on him.
10 Esdras se había dedicado a estudiar la ley del Señor, a ponerla en práctica y a enseñar en Israel sus leyes y decisiones.
10 For Ezra had set his heart to seek Yahweh’s law, and to do it, and to teach statutes and ordinances in Israel.
11 Esta es una copia de la carta que el rey Artajerjes dio a Esdras, sacerdote y escriba, experto en los mandamientos del Señor y en sus leyes para Israel:
11 Now this is the copy of the letter that King Artaxerxes gave to Ezra the priest, the scribe, even the scribe of the words of Yahweh’s commandments, and of his statutes to Israel:
12 «Artajerjes, rey de reyes, a Esdras, sacerdote y escriba de la ley del Dios del cielo: paz.
12 Artaxerxes, king of kings, To Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the perfect God of heaven. Now
13 Ordeno que cualquier israelita de mi reino, incluidos sacerdotes y levitas, que desee ir voluntariamente a Jerusalén, pueda ir contigo.
13 I make a decree that all those of the people of Israel and their priests and the Levites in my realm, who intend of their own free will to go to Jerusalem, go with you.
14 El rey y sus siete consejeros te envían para investigar la situación de Judá y Jerusalén de acuerdo con la ley de tu Dios que tienes en tus manos.
14 Because you are sent by the king and his seven counselors to inquire concerning Judah and Jerusalem, according to the law of your God which is in your hand,
15 También debes llevar la plata y el oro que el rey y sus consejeros han ofrecido voluntariamente al Dios de Israel, cuyo templo está en Jerusalén,
15 and to carry the silver and gold, which the king and his counselors have freely offered to the God of Israel, whose habitation is in Jerusalem,
16 junto con toda la plata y el oro que recibas en la provincia de Babilonia, y las ofrendas voluntarias del pueblo y de los sacerdotes para el templo de su Dios en Jerusalén.
16 and all the silver and gold that you will find in all the province of Babylon, with the free will offering of the people and of the priests, offering willingly for the house of their God which is in Jerusalem.
17 Usa este dinero con cuidado para comprar toros, carneros y corderos, junto con sus ofrendas de harina y de vino, y preséntalos sobre el altar del templo de tu Dios en Jerusalén.
17 Therefore you shall with all diligence buy with this money bulls, rams, and lambs with their meal offerings and their drink offerings, and shall offer them on the altar of the house of your God which is in Jerusalem.
18 Con la plata y el oro que sobren, tú y tus hermanos podrán hacer lo que les parezca mejor, de acuerdo con la voluntad de su Dios.
18 Whatever seems good to you and to your brothers to do with the rest of the silver and the gold, do that according to the will of your God.
19 Entrega delante del Dios de Jerusalén los objetos que te han dado para el servicio del templo de tu Dios.
19 The vessels that are given to you for the service of the house of your God, deliver before the God of Jerusalem.
20 Cualquier otra cosa que necesites para el templo de tu Dios la podrás tomar del tesoro real.
20 Whatever more will be needed for the house of your God, which you may have occasion to give, give it out of the king’s treasure house.
21 Yo, el rey Artajerjes, ordeno a todos los tesoreros de la región al oeste del Éufrates que entreguen con todo cuidado cualquier cosa que Esdras, sacerdote y escriba de la ley del Dios del cielo, les pida,
21 I, even I, Artaxerxes the king, make a decree to all the treasurers who are beyond the River, that whatever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, requires of you, it shall be done with all diligence,
22 hasta cien talentos de plata, cien cor de trigo, cien batos de vino, cien batos de aceite y sal sin límite.
22 up to one hundred talents of silver, and to one hundred cors of wheat, and to one hundred baths of wine, and to one hundred baths of oil, and salt without prescribing how much.
23 Todo lo que ordene el Dios del cielo para su templo debe hacerse con exactitud, para que su ira no caiga sobre el reino del rey y de sus hijos.
23 Whatever is commanded by the God of heaven, let it be done exactly for the house of the God of heaven; for why should there be wrath against the realm of the king and his sons?
24 También les hacemos saber que está prohibido cobrar impuestos, tributos o peajes a los sacerdotes, levitas, cantores, porteros, servidores del templo o a cualquier otro servidor de este templo de Dios.
24 Also we inform you that it shall not be lawful to impose tribute, custom, or toll on any of the priests, Levites, singers, gatekeepers, temple servants, or laborers of this house of God.
25 Y tú, Esdras, de acuerdo con la sabiduría que tu Dios te ha dado, nombra magistrados y jueces que administren justicia a todo el pueblo de la región al oeste del Éufrates que conozca las leyes de tu Dios. También debes enseñar esas leyes a quienes no las conozcan.
25 You, Ezra, according to the wisdom of your God that is in your hand, appoint magistrates and judges who may judge all the people who are beyond the River, who all know the laws of your God; and teach him who doesn’t know them.
26 Todo el que no cumpla la ley de tu Dios y la ley del rey debe ser castigado con rigor, ya sea con la muerte, el destierro, la confiscación de sus bienes o la prisión».
26 Whoever will not do the law of your God and the law of the king, let judgment be executed on him with all diligence, whether it is to death, or to banishment, or to confiscation of goods, or to imprisonment.
27 Bendito sea el Señor, Dios de nuestros padres, que puso en el corazón del rey el deseo de embellecer el templo del Señor en Jerusalén.
27 Blessed be Yahweh, the God of our fathers, who has put such a thing as this in the king’s heart, to beautify Yahweh’s house which is in Jerusalem;
28 Él me mostró su misericordia delante del rey, de sus consejeros y de todos sus altos funcionarios. Así fui fortalecido porque el Señor mi Dios me ayudaba, y reuní a algunos jefes de Israel para que subieran conmigo.
28 and has extended loving kindness to me before the king and his counselors, and before all the king’s mighty princes. I was strengthened according to Yahweh my God’s hand on me, and I gathered together chief men out of Israel to go up with me.
