Ezra 6

tunc Darius rex praecepit et recensuerunt in bibliotheca librorum qui erant repositi in Babylone

Then Darius the king made a decree, and search was made in the house of the rolls, where the treasures were laid up in Babylon.

et inventum est in Ecbathanis quod est castrum in Madena provincia volumen unum talisque scriptus erat in eo commentarius

And there was found at Achmetha, in the palace that is in the province of the Medes, a roll, and therein was a record thus written:

anno primo Cyri regis Cyrus rex decrevit ut domus Dei quae est in Hierusalem aedificaretur in loco ubi immolent hostias et ut ponant fundamenta subportantia altitudinem cubitorum sexaginta et latitudinem cubitorum sexaginta

In the first year of Cyrus the king the same Cyrus the king made a decree concerning the house of God at Jerusalem, Let the house be builded, the place where they offered sacrifices, and let the foundations thereof be strongly laid; the height thereof threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof threescore cubits;

ordines de lapidibus inpolitis tres et sic ordines de lignis novis sumptus autem de domo regis dabuntur

With three rows of great stones, and a row of new timber: and let the expenses be given out of the king's house:

sed et vasa templi Dei aurea et argentea quae Nabuchodonosor tulerat de templo Hierusalem et adtulerat ea in Babylonem reddantur et referantur in templo Hierusalem in locum suum quae et posita sunt in templo Dei

And also let the golden and silver vessels of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took forth out of the temple which is at Jerusalem, and brought unto Babylon, be restored, and brought again unto the temple which is at Jerusalem, every one to his place, and place them in the house of God.

nunc ergo Tatannai dux regionis quae est trans Flumen Starbuzannai et consiliarii vestri Apharsacei qui estis trans Flumen procul recedite ab illis

Now therefore, Tatnai, governor beyond the river, Shethar–boznai, and your companions the Apharsachites, which are beyond the river, be ye far from thence:

et dimittite fieri templum Dei illud a duce Iudaeorum et a senioribus eorum domum Dei illam aedificent in loco suo

Let 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 his place.

sed et a me praeceptum est quid oporteat fieri a presbyteris Iudaeorum illis ut aedificetur domus Dei scilicet ut de arca regis id est de tributis quae dantur de regione trans Flumen studiose sumptus dentur viris illis ne inpediatur opus

Moreover I make a decree what ye shall do to the elders of these Jews for the building of this house of God: that of the king's goods, even of the tribute beyond the river, forthwith expenses be given unto these men, that they be not hindered.

quod si necesse fuerit et vitulos et agnos et hedos in holocaustum Deo caeli frumentum sal vinum et oleum secundum ritum sacerdotum qui sunt in Hierusalem detur eis per dies singulos ne sit in aliquo querimonia

And that which they have need of, both young bullocks, and rams, and lambs, for the burnt offerings of the God of heaven, wheat, salt, wine, and oil, according to the appointment of the priests which are at Jerusalem, let it be given them day by day without fail:

et offerant oblationes Deo caeli orentque pro vita regis et filiorum eius

That they may offer sacrifices of sweet savours unto the God of heaven, and pray for the life of the king, and of his sons.

a me ergo positum est decretum ut omnis homo qui hanc mutaverit iussionem tollatur lignum de domo ipsius et erigatur et configatur in eo domus autem eius publicetur

Also I have made a decree, that whosoever shall alter this word, let timber be pulled down from his house, and being set up, let him be hanged thereon; and let his house be made a dunghill for this.

Deus autem qui habitare fecit nomen suum ibi dissipet omnia regna et populum qui extenderit manum suam ut repugnet et dissipet domum Dei illam quae est in Hierusalem ego Darius statui decretum quod studiose impleri volo

And the God that hath caused his name to dwell there destroy all kings and people, that shall put to their hand to alter and to destroy this house of God which is at Jerusalem. I Darius have made a decree; let it be done with speed.

igitur Tatannai dux regionis trans Flumen et Starbuzannai et consiliarii eius secundum quod praeceperat Darius rex sic diligenter exsecuti sunt

Then Tatnai, governor on this side the river, Shethar–boznai, and their companions, according to that which Darius the king had sent, so they did speedily.

seniores autem Iudaeorum aedificabant et prosperabantur iuxta prophetiam Aggei prophetae et Zacchariae filii Addo et aedificaverunt et construxerunt iubente Deo Israhel et iubente Cyro et Dario et Artarxerse regibus Persarum

And the elders of the Jews builded, and they prospered through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. And they builded, and finished it, according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and according to the commandment of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.

et conpleverunt domum Dei istam usque ad diem tertium mensis adar qui est annus sextus regni Darii regis

And this house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.

fecerunt autem filii Israhel sacerdotes et Levitae et reliqui filiorum transmigrationis dedicationem domus Dei in gaudio

And the children of Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the rest of the children of the captivity, kept the dedication of this house of God with joy,

et obtulerunt in dedicationem domus Dei vitulos centum arietes ducentos agnos quadringentos hircos caprarum pro peccato totius Israhel duodecim iuxta numerum tribuum Israhel

And offered at the dedication of this house of God an hundred bullocks, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs; and for a sin offering for all Israel, twelve he goats, according to the number of the tribes of Israel.

et statuerunt sacerdotes in ordinibus suis et Levitas in vicibus suis super opera Dei in Hierusalem sicut scriptum est in libro Mosi

And they set the priests in their divisions, and the Levites in their courses, for the service of God, which is at Jerusalem; as it is written in the book of Moses.

fecerunt autem filii transmigrationis pascha quartadecima die mensis primi

And the children of the captivity kept the passover upon the fourteenth day of the first month.

purificati enim fuerant sacerdotes et Levitae quasi unus omnes mundi ad immolandum pascha universis filiis transmigrationis et fratribus suis sacerdotibus et sibi

For the priests and the Levites were purified together, all of them were pure, and killed the passover for all the children of the captivity, and for their brethren the priests, and for themselves.

et comederunt filii Israhel qui reversi fuerant de transmigratione et omnis qui se separaverat a coinquinatione gentium terrae ad eos ut quaererent Dominum Deum Israhel

And the children of Israel, which were come again out of captivity, and all such as had separated themselves unto them from the filthiness of the heathen of the land, to seek the LORD God of Israel, did eat,

et fecerunt sollemnitatem azymorum septem diebus in laetitia quoniam laetificaverat eos Dominus et converterat cor regis Assur ad eos ut adiuvaret manus eorum in opere domus Domini Dei Israhel

And kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy: for the LORD had made them joyful, and turned the heart of the king of Assyria unto them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.
