1 La première année de Cyrus, roi de Perse, afin que s’accomplît la parole de l’Éternel prononcée par la bouche de Jérémie, l’Éternel réveilla l’esprit de Cyrus, roi de Perse, qui fit faire de vive voix et par écrit cette publication dans tout son royaume:

2 Ainsi parle Cyrus, roi des Perses: L’Éternel, le Dieu des cieux, m’a donné tous les royaumes de la terre, et il m’a commandé de lui bâtir une maison à Jérusalem en Juda.

3 Qui d’entre vous est de son peuple? Que son Dieu soit avec lui, et qu’il monte à Jérusalem en Juda et bâtisse la maison de l’Éternel, le Dieu d’Israël! C’est le Dieu qui est à Jérusalem.

4 Dans tout lieu où séjournent des restes du peuple de l’Éternel, les gens du lieu leur donneront de l’argent, de l’or, des effets, et du bétail, avec des offrandes volontaires pour la maison de Dieu qui est à Jérusalem.
