15 Amih te Ahava la aka pawk tuiva ah ka tingtun sak tih hnin thum pahoi ka rhaeh uh. Te vaengah pilnam khui neh khosoih khuikah te ka yakming dae Levi koca rhoek lamkah ka hmu pawh.
And I gather them to the river that is going to Ahava, and we encamp there three days; and I consider about the people, and about the priests, and of the sons of Levi I have found none there;
16 Te phoeiah boeilu rhoek Eliezer ham, Ariel ham, Shemaiah ham neh, Elnathan ham neh Jarib ham khaw, Elnathan ham neh Nathan ham khaw, Zekhariah ham neh Meshullam ham khaw, aka yakming thai Joiarib neh Elnathan ham khaw ka tueih.
and I send for Eliezer, for Ariel, for Shemaiah, and for Elnathan, and for Jarib, and for Elnathan, and for Nathan, and for Zechariah, and for Meshullam, heads, and for Joiarib, and for Elnathan, men of understanding;
17 Te te ka khuen sak tih Kasiphia hmuen kah boeilu Iddo taengah ka uen. A manuca Iddo taengah thui ham ol te amih ka dongah ka khueh pah coeng. Mamih kah Pathen im ah aka thohtat te mamih taengla hang khuen ham te Kasiphia hmuen kah tamtaeng rhoek a khueh.
and I charge them for Iddo the head, in the place Casiphia, and put in their mouth words to speak to Iddo, [and] his brothers the Nethinim, in the place Casiphia, to bring to us servants for the house of our God.
18 Kaimih kah Pathen kah kut he kaimih soah a then dongah ni kaimih taengla lungming hlang ha pawk. Israel ca Mahli koca lamloh Levi capa khaw, Sherebiah neh anih koca rhoek khaw a boeinaphung hlai rhet lo.
And they bring to us, according to the good hand of our God on us, a man of understanding, of the sons of Mahli, son of Levi, son of Israel, and Sherebiah, and his sons, and his brothers, eighteen;
19 Hashabiah neh a taengkah a manuca Merari koca Isaiah. Te dongah amih koca te pakul lo.
and Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah, of the sons of Merari, his brothers, and their sons, twenty;
20 Tamtaeng rhoek te khaw David neh mangpa rhoek loh Levi kah thothuengnah dongkah ham a paek. Tamtaeng boeih a ming neh yahnih pakul la mingpha ngawn.
and from the Nethinim, whom David and the heads gave for the service of the Levites, two hundred and twenty Nethinim, all of them defined by name.
21 Kaimih kah Pathen mikhmuh ah yalh sak ham neh amah te toem hamla, kaimih ham neh ka ca rhoek ham khaw, kaimih kah khuehtawn boeih ham longpuei thuem sak ham khaw, Ahava tuiva ah yaehnah pahoi ka doek.
And I proclaim there a fast, by the river Ahava, to afflict ourselves before our God, to seek from Him a right way for us, and for our infants, and for all our substance,
22 Manghai taengah tah, 'Kaimih kah Pathen kut he amah aka tlap boeih soah then dae amah aka hnawt boeih soah a sarhi neh a thintoek om,” ka ti nah tih ka thui coeng dongah longpueng kah thunkha taeng lamloh kaimih aka bom la manghai taengah tatthai neh marhang caem bih ham ka yak.
for I was ashamed to ask from the king a force and horsemen to help us because of the enemy in the way, for we spoke to the king, saying, “The hand of our God [is] on all seeking Him for good, and His strength and His wrath [is] on all forsaking Him.”
23 He ham he ka yaeh uh tangloeng tih ka Pathen taengah aka toem uh daengah kaimih he n'rhoi.
And we fast, and seek from our God for this, and He accepts our plea.
24 Te vaengah khosoih mangpa rhoek lamkah te Sherebiah, Hashabiah neh hlai nit la ka hoep. Amih te a boeinaphung ah parha lo.
And I separate from the heads of the priests, twelve, even Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and with them of their brothers ten,
25 Amih ham te cak neh sui khaw mah Pathen im kah khosaa hnopai te ka khiing khaw ka khiing pah coeng. Te te manghai neh a olrhoep rhoek loh, a mangpa rhoek neh Israel aka pumphoe boeih loh a tloeng uh.
and I weigh to them the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, a raised-offering of the house of our God, that the king, and his counselors, and his heads, and all Israel—those present—lifted up;
26 Amih kut ah cak talent rhui ya rhuk sawmnga, cakben hnopai talent yakhat, sui talent yakhat ka khiing pah.
and I weigh to their hand six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and one hundred talents of vessels of silver, one hundred talents of gold,
27 Sui bael pakul, suitangka la thawngkhat lo. Rhohum hnopai cim khaw a rhaep la then tih sui bangla a naikap.
and twenty basins of gold, of one thousand drams, and two vessels of good shining bronze, desirable as gold.
28 Te vaengah amih te, “Nangmih tah BOEIPA taengah hlangcim neh hmuencim hnopai ni. Cak neh sui khaw na pa rhoek kah Pathen BOEIPA taengkah kothoh paek coeng ni.
And I say to them, “You [are] holy to YHWH, and the vessels [are] holy, and the silver and the gold [are] a willing-offering to YHWH, God of your fathers;
29 Jerusalem BOEIPA im, imkhan kah khosoih mangpa rhoek, Levi rhoek, Israel napa rhoek kah mangpa mikhmuh ah n'khiing hil hak uh lamtah ngaithuen uh,” ka ti nah.
watch, and keep, until you weigh before the heads of the priests, and of the Levites, and the heads of the fathers of Israel, in Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of YHWH.”
30 Te phoeiah tah khosoih rhoek neh Levi rhoek loh cak neh sui neh hnopai a khiing te Jerusalem ah kaimih kah PathenBOEIPA im la thak ham a doe uh.
And the priests and the Levites took the weight of the silver, and of the gold, and of the vessels, to bring to Jerusalem to the house of our God.
31 Jerusalem la caeh ham te hla khat hnin hlai nit vaengah Ahava tuiva lamloh hlah uh. Te vaengah kaimih kah Pathen kut tah kaimih soah om tih kaimih he longpueng kah thunkha neh rhongngol kut lamloh n'huul.
And we journey from the river Ahava, on the twelfth of the first month, to go to Jerusalem, and the hand of our God has been on us, and He delivers us from the hand of the enemy and the one lying in wait by the way;
32 Jerusalem ka pha uh van neh hnin thum pahoi ka duem uh.
and we come to Jerusalem, and dwell there three days.
33 A hnin li dongah tah ka Pathen im ah cak, sui neh hnopai te khosoih Uriah capa Meremoth kut dongla ka khiing pauh. Anih taengah Phinekha capa Eleazar, Jeshua capa Jozabad, Levi Binnui capa Noadiah khaw om.
And on the fourth day has been weighed the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, in the house of our God, to the hand of Meremoth son of Uriah the priest, and with him Eleazar son of Phinehas, and with them Jozabad son of Jeshua, and Noadiah son of Binnui, the Levites:
34 A khiing boeih kah a tarhing neh te vaeng tue kah a khiing te boeih a thum sak.
by number, by weight of everyone, and all the weight is written at that time.
35 Tamna lamkah aka mael vangsawn koca rhoek loh Israel Pathen taengah hmueihhlutnah a nawn uh. BOEIPA taengkah hmueihhlutnah boeih he Israel pum ham vaito hlai nit, tutal sawmko parhuk, tuca sawmrhih parhih, boirhaem maae tal hlai nit lo.
Those coming in of the captives—sons of the expulsion—have brought burnt-offerings near to the God of Israel: twelve bullocks for all Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, twelve young male goats for a sin-offering—the whole a burnt-offering to YHWH;
36 Manghai kah olkhan rhoek te manghai kah khoboei rhoek taeng neh tuiva rhalvangan kah rhalboei taengla a paek uh. Te dongah pilnam neh Pathen im te khaw a talong uh.
and they give the laws of the king to the lieutenants of the king and the governors beyond the river, and they have lifted up the people and the house of God.
