OET-LV Thus he_says Kōresh the_king_of Pāraş all_of the_kingdoms_of the_earth/land he_has_given to_me YHWH the_god_of the_heavens and_he he_has_appointed (on)_me to_build to_him/it a_house in_Yərūshālaim/(Jerusalem) which is_in_Yəhūdāh/(Judah) who is_among_you(pl) from_all people_of_his YHWH his/its_god with_him/it and_let_him_go_up.
OET (OET-RV) “I, Paras’s King Koresh, declare that Yahweh, the god of the heavens, has given me all these earthly kingdoms, and he’s given me the job of building a house for him in Yerushalem (Jerusalem), which is in Yehudah (Judah). To help with that, anyone who’s from there is allowed to return, and may their god Yahweh be with them and help them.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
(Occurrence 0) all the kingdoms of the earth
(Some words not found in UHB: thus he/it_had_said Kōresh/(Cyrus/Kōresh/(Coresh/Cyrus)) king Pāraş all/each/any/every kingdoms_of the=earth/land he/it_gave to=me YHWH god_of the=heavens and=he appointed (on),me to,build to=him/it house in,Jerusalem which/who [is]_in,Judah who? [is]_among,you(pl) from=all people_of,his YHWH his/its=god with=him/it and,let_him_go_up )
This is an exaggeration, as there were kingdoms over which Cyrus did not rule.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
(Occurrence 0) to build a house for him
(Some words not found in UHB: thus he/it_had_said Kōresh/(Cyrus/Kōresh/(Coresh/Cyrus)) king Pāraş all/each/any/every kingdoms_of the=earth/land he/it_gave to=me YHWH god_of the=heavens and=he appointed (on),me to,build to=him/it house in,Jerusalem which/who [is]_in,Judah who? [is]_among,you(pl) from=all people_of,his YHWH his/its=god with=him/it and,let_him_go_up )
Here the word “house” represents a temple. Alternate translation: [to build a temple for him]
