Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
בְּנֵ֣י הַמְּדִינָ֗ה
sons_of the,province
The document speaks here of the province of Judah as if it were the ancestor of all the Jews who lived there. Alternate translation: “the people from the province of Judah”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
הַמְּדִינָ֗ה
the,province
The province means the province of Judah. The document is referring to Judah by something associated with it, its status as a province.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
הָעֹלִים֙
the,came_up
Went up means “traveled from Babylon back to Judah,” since that involves going from a river valley up into the mountains. Alternate translation: “returned to Judah from Babylon”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
מִשְּׁבִ֣י הַגּוֹלָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֣ר הֶגְלָ֔ה נְבוּכַדְנֶצַּ֖ר מֶ֣לֶךְ בָּבֶ֑ל
from,captivity the,exiles which/who carried_into_exile Nebuchadnezzar king Babel
Captivity and exile are abstract nouns. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate the idea behind them with verbs. Alternate translation: “Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, captured their ancestors and took them away”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
מִשְּׁבִ֣י הַגּוֹלָ֔ה
from,captivity the,exiles
Captivity and exile mean basically the same thing. You do not need to repeat both phrases in your translation if that would be confusing for your readers. Alternate translation: “after being taken away”
אִ֥ישׁ לְעִירֽוֹ
(a)_man to,town,his
Here, a man means “each one” or “each person” Alternate translation: “They went to live in the same towns where their families had lived before.”
The Temple of the Lord in Jerusalem, where all Israelite males were commanded to offer sacrifices to the Lord (Exodus 23:14-19; Deuteronomy 16:16-17), underwent several stages of reconstruction and development over hundreds of years. The first Temple was built by King Solomon to replace the aging Tabernacle, and it was constructed on a threshing floor on high ground on the north side of the city (2 Samuel 24; 1 Chronicles 21). Hundreds of years later King Hezekiah expanded the platform surrounding the Temple. When Jerusalem fell to the Babylonians in 586 B.C., the Temple was completely destroyed (2 Kings 25:1-21; 2 Chronicles 36:17-21; Jeremiah 39:1-10; 52:1-30). It was rebuilt in 515 B.C. after a group of Jews returned to Judea from exile in Babylon (Ezra 1:5-6:15; Nehemiah 7:5-65). Herod the Great completely rebuilt and expanded the Temple once again around 20 B.C., making it one of the largest temples in the Roman world. Jesus’ first believers often met together in Solomon’s Colonnade, a columned porch that encircled the Temple Mount, perhaps carrying on a tradition started by Jesus himself (John 10:23; Acts 3:11; 5:12). But Herod’s Temple did not last long: After many Jews revolted against Rome, the Romans eventually recaptured Jerusalem and destroyed the Temple in A.D. 70.
