وَهَؤُلَاءِ هُمْ بَنُو ٱلْكُورَةِ ٱلصَّاعِدُونَ مِنْ سَبْيِ ٱلْمَسْبِيِّينَ، ٱلَّذِينَ سَبَاهُمْ نَبُوخَذْنَاصَّرُ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ إِلَى بَابِلَ، وَرَجَعُوا إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَيَهُوذَا، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى مَدِينَتِهِ. | ١ 1 |
King Nebuchadnezzar’s [soldiers] had captured many [Israeli] people and taken them to Babylonia. [Many years later, ] some Israeli people returned to Judah. Some returned to Jerusalem, and some returned to [other places in] Judah. They went to the towns where their ancestors had lived. This is a list of the groups who returned.
ٱلَّذِينَ جَاءُوا مَعَ زَرُبَّابِلَ، يَشُوعُ، نَحَمْيَا، سَرَايَا، رَعْلَايَا، مُرْدَخَايُ، بِلْشَانُ، مِسْفَارُ، بِغْوَايُ، رَحُومُ، بَعْنَةَ. عَدَدُ رِجَالِ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: | ٢ 2 |

Altogether, there were 392 temple workers and descendants of Solomon’s servants who returned.
وَهَؤُلَاءِ هُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ صَعِدُوا مِنْ تَلِّ مِلْحٍ وَتَلِّ حَرْشَا، كَرُوبُ، أَدَّانُ، إِمِّيرُ، وَلَمْ يَسْتَطِيعُوا أَنْ يُبَيِّنُوا بُيُوتَ آبَائِهِمْ وَنَسْلَهُمْ هَلْ هُمْ مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ: | ٥٩ 59 |
There was another group who returned [to Judah] from Tel-Melah, Tel-Harsha, Kerub, Addan, and Immer [towns in Babylonia]. But they could not prove that they were descendants of [people who previously lived in] Israel.
بَنُو دَلَايَا، بَنُو طُوبِيَّا، بَنُو نَقُودَا، سِتُّ مِئَةٍ وَٱثْنَانِ وَخَمْسُونَ. | ٦٠ 60 |
This group included 652 people who were descendants of Delaiah, Tobiah, and Nekoda.
وَمِنْ بَنِي ٱلْكَهَنَةِ: بَنُو حَبَايَا، بَنُو هَقُّوصَ، بَنُو بَرْزِلَّايَ ٱلَّذِي أَخْذَ ٱمْرَأَةً مِنْ بَنَاتِ بَرْزِلَّايَ ٱلْجِلْعَادِيِّ وَتَسَمَّى بِٱسْمِهِمْ. | ٦١ 61 |
Hobaiah’s clan, Hakkoz’s clan, and Barzillai’s clan also returned. Barzillai had married a woman who was a descendant of Barzillai from [the] Gilead [region], and he had taken for himself the name of his father-in-law’s clan.
هَؤُلَاءِ فَتَّشُوا عَلَى كِتَابَةِ أَنْسَابِهِمْ فَلَمْ تُوجَدْ، فَرُذِلُوا مِنَ ٱلْكَهَنُوتِ. | ٦٢ 62 |
The people in that group searched in the documents that had the names of the ancestors of all the clans, but these men’s names were not found. So they were not permitted do the work that priests did.
وَقَالَ لَهُمُ ٱلتِّرْشَاثَا أَنْ لَا يَأْكُلُوا مِنْ قُدْسِ ٱلْأَقْدَاسِ حَتَّى يَقُومَ كَاهِنٌ لِلْأُورِيمِ وَٱلتُّمِّيمِ. | ٦٣ 63 |
The governor told them that they would need to ask a priest to consult Yahweh by [(casting/throwing] the sacred lots/stones [that had been marked]), to determine if those men were truly Israelis. When the priests did that, [if the stones showed that those men were Israelis], they would be permitted to eat the shares of the sacrifices that were given to the priests.
كُلُّ ٱلْجُمْهُورِ مَعًا ٱثْنَانِ وَأَرْبَعُونَ أَلْفًا وَثَلَاثُ مِئَةٍ وَسِتُّونَ، | ٦٤ 64 |
Altogether 42,360 Israeli people who returned to Judah.
فَضْلًا عَنْ عَبِيدِهِمْ وَإِمَائِهِمْ فَهَؤُلَاءِ كَانُوا سَبْعَةَ آلَافٍ وَثَلَاثَ مِئَةٍ وَسَبْعَةً وَثَلَاثِينَ، وَلَهُمْ مِنَ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ وَٱلْمُغَنِّيَاتِ مِئَتَانِ. | ٦٥ 65 |
There were also 7,337 servants and 200 musicians, both men and women, who returned.
خَيْلُهُمْ سَبْعُ مِئَةٍ وَسِتَّةٌ وَثَلَاثُونَ. بِغَالُهُمْ مِئَتَانِ وَخَمْسَةٌ وَأَرْبَعُونَ. | ٦٦ 66 |
The Israelis brought with them [from Babylonia] 736 horses, 245 mules,
جِمَالُهُمْ أَرْبَعُ مِئَةٍ وَخَمْسَةٌ وَثَلَاثُونَ. حَمِيرُهُمْ سِتَّةُ آلَافٍ وَسَبْعُ مِئَةٍ وَعِشْرُونَ. | ٦٧ 67 |
435 camels, and 6,720 donkeys.
وَٱلْبَعْضُ مِنْ رُؤُوسِ ٱلْآبَاءِ عِنْدَ مَجِيئِهِمْ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ تَبَرَّعُوا لِبَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ لِإِقَامَتِهِ فِي مَكَانِهِ. | ٦٨ 68 |
When they arrived at the temple of Yahweh in Jerusalem, some of the clan leaders gave money [for the supplies needed] to rebuild the temple at the place where the temple had been previously.
أَعْطَوْا حَسَبَ طَاقَتِهِمْ لِخِزَانَةِ ٱلْعَمَلِ وَاحِدًا وَسِتِّينَ أَلْفَ دِرْهَمٍ مِنَ ٱلذَّهَبِ، وَخَمْسَةَ آلَافِ مَنًا مِنَ ٱلْفِضَّةِ، وَمِئَةَ قَمِيصٍ لِلْكَهَنَةِ. | ٦٩ 69 |
They all gave as much money as they were able to give. Altogether they gave 61,000 gold coins, (6,250 pounds/3,000 kg.) of silver, and 100 robes for the priests.
فَأَقَامَ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ وَٱللَّاوِيُّونَ وَبَعْضُ ٱلشَّعْبِ وَٱلْمُغَنُّونَ وَٱلْبَوَّابُونَ وَٱلنَّثِينِيمُ فِي مُدُنِهِمْ وَكُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي مُدُنِهِمْ. | ٧٠ 70 |
Then the priests, the [other] descendants of Levi, the musicians, the temple guards, and some of the [other] people started to live in the towns and villages [near Jerusalem]. The rest of the people went to the other places in Israel where their ancestors had lived.
