1 No primeiro ano de Ciro rei da Pérsia, para que se cumprisse a palavra do SENHOR pela boca de Jeremias, o SENHOR despertou o espírito de Ciro rei da Pérsia, o qual mandou proclamar por todo o seu reino, e também por escrito, dizendo:

2 Assim diz Ciro, rei da Pérsia: O SENHOR, Deus dos céus, me deu todos os reinos da terra; e ele me mandou que lhe edificasse uma casa em Jerusalém, que está em Judá.

3 Quem há entre vós de todo seu povo, seu Deus seja com ele, e suba a Jerusalém que está em Judá, e edifique a casa ao SENHOR Deus de Israel; ele é o Deus que [habita] em Jerusalém.

4 E todo aquele que tiver restado em qualquer lugar onde estiver morando, os homens de seu lugar o ajudem com prata, ouro, bens, e animais; além das doações voluntárias para a casa de Deus, que está em Jerusalém.
