1 So King Darius ordered an investigation in the house of archives in Babylon.
1 ENTONCES el rey Darío dió mandamiento, y buscaron en la casa de los libros, donde guardaban los tesoros allí en Babilonia.
1 Then Darius the king made a decree, and the house of the archives, where the treasures were laid up in Babylon, was searched.
2 In the fortified city of Ecbatana in Media a scroll was found; this was its record:
2 Y fué hallado en Achmetta, en el palacio que está en la provincia de Media, un libro, dentro del cual estaba escrito así: Memoria:
2 A scroll was found at Achmetha, in the palace that is in the province of Media, and in it this was written for a record:
3 “In the first year of King Cyrus, Cyrus issued a decree about the house of God in Jerusalem: 'Let the house be rebuilt as a place for sacrifice, let its foundations be laid, let its height be sixty cubits, and its width sixty cubits,
3 En el año primero del rey Ciro, el [mismo] rey Ciro dió mandamiento acerca de la casa de Dios que estaba en Jerusalem, que fuese la casa edificada para lugar en que sacrifiquen sacrificios, y que sus paredes fuesen cubiertas; su altura de sesenta codos, y de sesenta codos su anchura;
3 In the first year of Cyrus the king, Cyrus the king made a decree: Concerning God’s house at Jerusalem, let the house be built, the place where they offer sacrifices, and let its foundations be strongly laid, with its height sixty cubits and its width sixty cubits;
4 with three rows of large stones and a row of new timber, and let the cost be paid by the king's house.
4 Los órdenes, tres de piedra de mármol, y un orden de madera nueva: y que el gasto sea dado de la casa del rey.
4 with three courses of great stones and a course of new timber. Let the expenses be given out of the king’s house.
5 Now bring back the gold and silver objects belonging to the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar brought to Babylon from the temple in Jerusalem and send them back to the temple in Jerusalem. You are to put them in the house of God.'
5 Y también los vasos de oro y de plata de la casa de Dios, que Nabucodonosor sacó del templo que estaba en Jerusalem y los pasó á Babilonia, sean devueltos y vayan al templo que está en Jerusalem, á su lugar, y sean puestos en la casa de Dios.
5 Also let the gold and silver vessels of God’s house, which Nebuchadnezzar took out of the temple which is at Jerusalem and brought to Babylon, be restored and brought again to the temple which is at Jerusalem, everything to its place. You shall put them in God’s house.
6 Now Tattenai, the governor of the Province Beyond the River, Shethar-Bozenai, and associates who are in the Province Beyond the River, keep away!
6 Ahora pues, Tatnai, jefe del lado allá del río, Sethar-boznai, y sus compañeros los Apharsachêos que estáis á la otra parte del río, apartaos de ahí.
6 Now therefore, Tattenai, governor beyond the River, Shetharbozenai, and your companions the Apharsachites, who are beyond the River, you must stay far from there.
7 Leave the work of this house of God alone. The governor and Jewish elders will build this house of God at that place.
7 Dejad la obra de la casa de este Dios al principal de los Judíos, y á sus ancianos, para que edifiquen la casa de este Dios en su lugar.
7 Leave the work of this house of God alone; let the governor of the Jews and the elders of the Jews build this house of God in its place.
8 I am ordering that you must do this for these Jewish elders who build this house of God: Funds from the king's tribute beyond the River will be used to pay these men so they do not have to stop their work.
8 Y por mí es dado mandamiento de lo que habéis de hacer con los ancianos de estos Judíos, para edificar la casa de este Dios: que de la hacienda del rey, que tiene del tributo de la parte allá del río, los gastos sean dados luego á aquellos varones, para que no cesen.
8 Moreover I make a decree regarding what you shall do for these elders of the Jews for the building of this house of God: that of the king’s goods, even of the tribute beyond the River, expenses must be given with all diligence to these men, that they not be hindered.
9 Whatever is needed—young bulls, rams, or lambs for the burnt offerings to the God of Heaven, grain, salt, wine, or oil according to the command of the priests in Jerusalem—give these things to them every day without fail.
9 Y lo que fuere necesario, becerros y carneros y corderos, para holocaustos al Dios del cielo, trigo, sal, vino y aceite, conforme á lo que dijeren los sacerdotes que están en Jerusalem, déseles cada un día sin obstáculo alguno;
9 That which they have need of, including young bulls, rams, and lambs, for burnt offerings to the God of heaven; also wheat, salt, wine, and oil, according to the word of the priests who are at Jerusalem, let it be given them day by day without fail,
10 Do this so they will bring the offering in to the God of Heaven and pray for me, the king, and my sons.
10 Para que ofrezcan olores de holganza al Dios del cielo, y oren por la vida del rey y por sus hijos.
10 that they may offer sacrifices of pleasant aroma to the God of heaven, and pray for the life of the king and of his sons.
11 I am ordering that if anyone violates this decree, a beam must be pulled from his house and he must be impaled on it. His house must then be turned into a rubbish heap because of this.
11 También es dado por mí mandamiento, que cualquiera que mudare este decreto, sea derribado un madero de su casa, y enhiesto, sea colgado en él: y su casa sea hecha muladar por esto.
11 I have also made a decree that whoever alters this message, let a beam be pulled out from his house, and let him be lifted up and fastened on it; and let his house be made a dunghill for this.
12 May the God who has caused his name to dwell there overthrow any king or people who lifts a hand to change this decree, or to destroy this house of God in Jerusalem. I, Darius, am ordering this. Let it be done with diligence!”
12 Y el Dios que hizo habitar allí su nombre, destruya todo rey y pueblo que pusiere su mano para mudar ó destruir esta casa de Dios, la cual está en Jerusalem. Yo Darío puse el decreto: sea hecho prestamente.
12 May the God who has caused his name to dwell there overthrow all kings and peoples who stretch out their hand to alter this, to destroy this house of God which is at Jerusalem. I Darius have made a decree. Let it be done with all diligence.
13 Then because of the decree sent by Darius the king, Tattenai, the governor of the Province Beyond the River, and Shethar-Bozenai and his associates, did everything that King Darius had ordered.
13 Entonces Tatnai, gobernador del otro lado del río, y Sethar-boznai, y sus compañeros, hicieron prestamente según el rey Darío había enviado.
13 Then Tattenai, the governor beyond the River, Shetharbozenai, and their companions did accordingly with all diligence, because Darius the king had sent a decree.
14 So the Jewish elders built and prospered under the teaching of Haggaithe prophet and Zechariah son of Iddo. They completed their buildings according to the decree of the God of Israel and by the decree of Cyrus, Darius, and Artaxerxes the king of Persia.
14 Y los ancianos de los Judíos edificaban y prosperaban, conforme á la profecía de Haggeo profeta, y de Zacarías hijo de Iddo. Edificaron pues, y acabaron, por el mandamiento del Dios de Israel, y por el mandamiento de Ciro, y de Darío, y de Artajerjes rey de Persia.
14 The elders of the Jews built and prospered, through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. They built and finished it, according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and according to the decree of Cyrus, Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.

16 The children of Israel, the priests, the Levites, and the rest of the children of the captivity, kept the dedication of this house of God with joy.
17 They offered one hundred bulls, one hundred rams, and four hundred lambs for the dedication of God's house. Twelve male goats were also offered as a sin offering for all Israel, one for each tribe in Israel.

17 They offered at the dedication of this house of God one hundred bulls, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs; and for a sin offering for all Israel, twelve male goats, according to the number of the tribes of Israel.
18 They also assigned the priests and Levites to work divisions for the service of God in Jerusalem, as it was written in the Book of Moses.
18 Y pusieron á los sacerdotes en sus clases, y á los Levitas en sus divisiones, sobre la obra de Dios que está en Jerusalem, conforme á lo escrito en el libro de Moisés.

19 So those who had been in exile celebrated the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month.
19 Y los de la transmigración hicieron la pascua á los catorce del mes primero.
19 The children of the captivity kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month.
20 The priests and Levites all purified themselves and slaughtered the Passover sacrifices for all those who had been in exile, including themselves.
20 Porque los sacerdotes y los Levitas se habían purificado á una; todos fueron limpios: y sacrificaron la pascua por todos los de la transmigración, y por sus hermanos los sacerdotes, y por sí mismos.
20 Because the priests and the Levites had purified themselves together, all of them were pure. They killed the Passover for all the children of the captivity, for their brothers the priests, and for themselves.
21 The Israelite people who ate some of the Passover meat were those who had returned from exile and had separated themselves from the uncleanness of the people of the land and sought Yahweh, the God of Israel.
21 Y comieron los hijos de Israel que habían vuelto de la transmigración, y todos los que se habían apartado á ellos de la inmundicia de las gentes de la tierra, para buscar á Jehová Dios de Israel.
21 The children of Israel who had returned out of the captivity, and all who had separated themselves to them from the filthiness of the nations of the land to seek Yahweh, the God of Israel, ate,
22 They joyfully celebrated the Festival of Unleavened Bread for seven days, for Yahweh had brought them joy and turned the heart of Assyria's king to strengthen their hands in the work of his house, the house of the God of Israel.
22 Y celebraron la solemnidad de los panes ázimos siete días con regocijo, por cuanto Jehová los había alegrado, y convertido el corazón del rey de Asiria á ellos, para esforzar sus manos en la obra de la casa de Dios, del Dios de Israel.
