6 Esdras, que llegó de Babilonia, era un maestro muy versado en las leyes que el Señor había dado al pueblo de Israel por medio de Moisés. Pidió que se le permitiera regresar a Jerusalén, y el rey le concedió su petición, porque Esdras contaba con la ayuda del Señor.
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 Con Esdras regresaron muchos israelitas, entre los cuales había sacerdotes, levitas, cantores, porteros, y sirvientes del templo. Salieron de Babilonia el día primero del mes primero del séptimo año del reinado de Artajerjes, y llegaron a Jerusalén, sin ningún contratiempo, el día primero del mes quinto del mismo año, porque Esdras contaba con la bondadosa ayuda del Señor.
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 Not in this translation
8 He came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, which was in the seventh year of the king.
9 Not in this translation
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 Esto fue porque Esdras se había propuesto estudiar y obedecer las leyes del Señor, y ser un maestro de la Palabra de Dios y enseñar las leyes al pueblo de Israel.
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 El rey Artajerjes entregó esta carta al sacerdote Esdras, que era un maestro muy entendido en los mandamientos que el Señor les dio a los israelitas:
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, al sacerdote Esdras, maestro de las leyes del Dios del cielo:
12 Artaxerxes, king of kings, To Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the perfect God of heaven. Now
13 Decreto que todos los judíos de mi reino, incluyendo a sacerdotes y levitas, pueden regresar contigo a Jerusalén, si así lo desean.
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 Yo y mis siete consejeros ordenamos que vayas a Judá y Jerusalén, para ver si se está obedeciendo la ley de Dios, la cual llevas contigo.
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 te comisionamos para que lleves contigo a Jerusalén la plata y el oro que te hemos entregado como una ofrenda al Dios de Israel.
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 Igualmente, llevarás todo el oro y toda la plata que recojas en las provincias de Babilonia, junto con las ofrendas voluntarias que entreguen la gente y los sacerdotes para el templo de 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 Estos fondos serán usados, ante todo, para la compra de toros, carneros, corderos, cereales y vino, para que los ofrezcas sobre el altar del templo de su Dios cuando lleguen a 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 El dinero que sobre podrá ser usado en lo que tú y tus hermanos consideren que sea 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 Lleva contigo los utensilios de oro y las demás cosas que se te han entregado para la casa de tu Dios en Jerusalén.
19 The vessels that are given to you for the service of the house of your God, deliver before the God of Jerusalem.
20 Si te falta dinero para la construcción del templo o para cualquier otra necesidad similar, puedes pedirlo de los fondos de la tesorería 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, envío este decreto a todos los tesoreros de las provincias que están al occidente del río Éufrates y les ordeno que le entreguen a Esdras cuanto él les pida, porque él es sacerdote y maestro de la ley del Dios del cielo.
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 Le pueden dar hasta tres mil seiscientos kilos de plata, veinticuatro mil litros de trigo, dos mil cuatrocientos litros de vino, dos mil cuatrocientos litros de aceite, y sal sin medida.
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 Además, deberán darle cualquier otra cosa que el Dios del cielo pida para su templo. Después de todo, ¿por qué hemos de arriesgarnos a que la ira de Dios caiga sobre el rey y 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 Decreto asimismo que los sacerdotes, levitas, miembros del coro, porteros, y servidores del templo quedan exentos de todo tipo de impuestos.
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, debes usar la sabiduría que Dios te ha dado, para seleccionar y designar magistrados y jueces que impartan justicia al pueblo que está al occidente del río Éufrates. Si ellos no conocen las leyes de tu Dios, debes enseñárselas.
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 Cualquiera que se niegue a obedecer las leyes de tu Dios y las leyes del rey, será castigado inmediatamente 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 antepasados, que colocó 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 Y bendito sea Dios por la demostración de su misericordia hacia mí, al honrarme delante del rey, de sus consejeros y delante de todos sus poderosos príncipes. Mi Señor y Dios, te doy gracias por haberme fortalecido, por haber estado conmigo y por haberme permitido convencer a algunos de los jefes de Israel para que regresaran conmigo a Jerusalén».
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.
