בָּרוּךְ יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵי אֲבֹתֵינוּ אֲשֶׁר נָתַן כָּזֹאת בְּלֵב הַמֶּלֶךְ לְפָאֵר אֶת־בֵּית יְהֹוָה אֲשֶׁר בִּירוּשָׁלָֽ͏ִם׃
Blessed is the L-rd, the G-d of our fathers, who placed it thus in the heart of the king to glorify the house of the L-rd in Jerusalem.

וְעָלַי הִטָּה־חֶסֶד לִפְנֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ וְיֽוֹעֲצָיו וּלְכׇל־שָׂרֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ הַגִּבֹּרִים וַאֲנִי הִתְחַזַּקְתִּי כְּיַד־יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהַי עָלַי וָאֶקְבְּצָה מִיִּשְׂרָאֵל רָאשִׁים לַעֲלוֹת עִמִּֽי׃ {פ}
Upon me did He incline lovingkindness before the king and his counselors, and before all the mighty chiefs of the king. And I have strengthened myself according to the hand of the L-rd my G-d upon me, and I gathered from Israel [(of those left in Bavel)] heads [of fathers' houses] to go up with me [(to Jerusalem)].

ויועציו. הם שבעה רואי פני המלך הן שבעה יעטוהי של מעלה:
and his advisers They are his seven advisers mentioned above (verse 14).
כיד ה' אלהי עלי. כאשר היתה עזרתו של הקב"ה עלי וקבצתי מישראל הנשארים בבבל ראשי אבות וגדולים לעלות עמי מבבל:
according to the hand of the Lord my God upon me as the help of the Holy One, blessed be He, was upon me; and I gathered from the Israelites remaining in Babylon the chiefs of the fathers’ houses and the great men to ascend with me from Babylon.
ברוך ה'. כך כתב עזרא בספרו כאשר נתן הודאה להקב"ה:
Blessed be the Lord Ezra wrote this in his Book when he gave thanks to the Holy One, blessed be He.
