15 Keiman sohchanga konna hungdoh hochu Ahava canal munnah kakhomin hichea chun nithum kageh un, hichea chun keiman mipiho toh thempu hichelai mun hung lhung hochu kakhol in ahileh Levi te khatcha jong ahung pangpoi ti keiman kamudoh in ahi.
Now I gathered them together at the river that runs down to Ahava, and we stayed there for three days. And I sought among the people and among the priests for the sons of Levi, and I found none there.
16 Hijeh chun keiman alamkai hou Eliezer, Ariel, Shemiah, Elnathan, Jarib, Nathan, Elnathan, Zechariah leh Meshullam kaga koush in, chuleh Joiarib leh Elnathan jong kakousah in ahi, ajeh chu amani hi thumop them ahilhone.
And so I sent Eliezer, and Ariel, and Shemaiah, and Elnathan, and Jarib, and another Elnathan, and Nathan, and Zechariah, and Meshullam, who were leaders, and Joiarib and Elnathan, who were wise.
17 Chuleh keiman Casiphia mun aum Levite lamkai Iddo komma chun mi kasolin amite ainsung mite leh Houin lhachaho komma chu Jerusalem ma Pathen houin lhacha sunga lhacha a pang ding mi ahinsol diuvin, ngehna nei ding in kasoltai.
And I sent them to Iddo, who is first within the place of Casiphia. And I placed in their mouth the words that they should speak to Iddo and his brothers, the temple servants, in the place of Casiphia, so that they would lead to us ministers for the house of our God.
18 Ka Pathen u khotona khut chun eipuihoi jeh un, amahon Sherebiah kitipa achate le asopite somle get eihin solpeh un ahi. Amachu Israel chapa Levi chilhah ho lah a Mahli chilhah minasatah khat ahi.
And because the good hand of our God was over us, they led to us a very learned man from the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel, with Sherebiah, and his sons, and his eighteen brothers,
19 Amahon Merari chilhah holah a kon’in Hashabiah chule Jeshaiah toh ahinsol thauvin chuleh achate le asopite somni jong ahin sollun chuleh
and Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah, of the sons of Merari, and his brothers, and his sons, numbering twenty.
20 Houin lhacha jani le somni jong ahin sol thauvin ahi.
And from the temple servants, whom David, and the leaders had provided for the ministry of the Levites, there were two hundred twenty temple servants. All these were called by their names.
21 Hichun hichelai Ahava twilam mun’ah hin ka Pathen’u angsung’ah eyhole keiho kisunem tah a kabon chauva an-ngolla taoding in thupeh kaneijin ahi. Hiche kataonao chu ahileh, kakholjin naova hi keihole kachateo chuleh kathilkeo hotoh eipuihoi nadiuvin kataovun ahi.
And I proclaimed a fast in that place, beside the river Ahava, so that we might afflict ourselves in the sight of the Lord our God, and so that we might request of him the right way for us, and for our sons, and for all our substance.
22 Ajeh chu keiman lampi dung’a melmate a konna eihongbit diuva lengpa komma sepai leh sakol chungtou sepai thum ding chu jachat um kasan ahi. Ajeh chu keiman lengpa komma chun, “Ka Pathen’u hin ama houte chu abanthahat’in ahongbit nin, amavang ama donlouva koite vang alunghanna hoisetah chun asugim jin ahi,” tia kana seidoh tan ahi.
For I was ashamed to petition the king for assistance and for horsemen, who would defend us from the enemy along the way. For we had said to the king: “The hand of our God is over all those who seek him in goodness. And his authority, and his strength and fury, is over all those who forsake him.”
23 Hijeh chun keihon ka Pathen’un kataonao sana eihoi bitna diuvin an-ngol pummin lunggil tah in kataovun ahileh aman kataonao eisanpeh un ahi.
And so we fasted and begged our God for this; and as a result, we prospered.
24 Keiman thempu lah a kon’in lamkai somleni Sherebiah leh Hoshabiah chuleh thempu dang som chu kalhengdoh in mopohna panmun kanapen ahi.
And I separated twelve from among the leaders of the priests: Sherebiah, and Hashabiah, and with them ten of their brothers.
25 Ama hochun sana, dangka, sana khon holeh thilkeo dangho toh lengpa le a athumop them a vaihom hon Pathen houin na koiding’a ahin pehdoh uchu polut ding kapedoh tan ahi.
And I weighed out to them the silver and the gold, and the vessels consecrated to the house of our God, which had been offered by the king, and by his counselors and his leaders, and by all those of Israel who had been found.
26 Keiman hiche thillu hochu kapeh dohtoh kilhon’in, ka tetoh in ahileh hijat hi alhing in ahi: Dangka ton somni le li, Dangka a kisem thilkeo ho pound sangsagi le ja nga, sana pound sangsagi le ja nga,
And I weighed out to their hands six hundred fifty talents of silver, and one hundred vessels of silver, and one hundred talents of gold,
27 sana a kisem khon somni hichu Sana sum pum sangkhat toh aman kibang chuleh sana mantamtah toh kibang sum-eng kilha ngimsella kisem thil ni hicheng hi ahi.
and twenty gold bowls which had the weight of one thousand coins, and two vessels of the finest shining brass, as beautiful as gold.
28 Keiman hiche thempuho komma chun: “Nangho leh hiche thilmanlu hohi Pakaiya dinga athenga kipedoh a nahi taove, hiche dangka le sana hohi ipu ipateu Pakai Pathen a dinga hung kikatdoh ahitai.
And I said to them: “You are the holy ones of the Lord, and the vessels are holy, with the silver and the gold, which has been offered freely to the Lord, the God of our fathers.
29 Hiche thillu hohi thempu holeh Leviho chuleh Israel lamkaiho khut a napehlut tokah un, phatah in chingtup un, amahon Jerusalem’a Pakai houin'a akoina munna akoi tengu leh phatah a atetoh diu ahi,” ati peh in ahi.
Watch and guard them, until you weigh them out before the leaders of the priests and the Levites, and the rulers of the families of Israel in Jerusalem, into the treasury of the house of the Lord.”
30 Hiti chun thempuho leh Levite chun Jerusalem houin'a Pakai thilkoina munna hiche thillu sanale dangka hochu pohlut nadinga mopohna chu ladingin anom taovin ahi.
Then the priests and the Levites received the weight of the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, so that they might carry these to Jerusalem, into the house of our God.
31 Lha masapen, nisom le ni ni lhin nin, keihon Ahava twilam munchu kadalha taovin ahi. Chuleh Pathen mikhotona khut chun lamlhon lhungin melma holeh michomho khutna kon’in eihoidoh sah un ahi.
Therefore, we set out from the river Ahava, on the twelfth day of the first month, so that we might travel to Jerusalem. And the hand of our God was over us, and he freed us from the hand of the enemy and of those who lay in ambush along the way.
32 Hiti chun Jerusalem chu damsel le bit kei chan kaga lhungun hichea chun nithum kakicholdo uvin ahi.
And we arrived at Jerusalem, and we stayed there for three days.
33 Kagalhun jou’u ani li channa in sana le dangka chuleh adang thillu ho jouse ka Pathen’u Houin nah hoitah in katetoh un, Uriah thempupa chapa Meremoth leh Phinehas chapa Eleazer toh Levi mi Jeshua chapa Jozabad chule Binnui chapa Noadiah kom ah pehlut nale nganse na akinei tan ahi.
Then, on the fourth day, the silver and the gold and the vessels were weighed out in the house of our God, by the hand of Meremoth, the son of Uriah, the priest; and with him was Eleazar, the son of Phinehas, and with them were the Levites, Jozabad, the son of Jeshua, and Noadiah, the son of Binnui.
34 Thiljouse chu ajatle agih jatchu aki tetoh soh keijin hicheng chu agihna jat pumpin kivaipohna dungjui in hoitah in akijihlut in ahi.
This was done according to the number and weight of everything; and every weight was written down at that time.
35 Hijouchun sohchanna a konna hungpotdoh ho cheng chun Israel Pathen’ah pumgo thilto akibolin ahi. Hiti chun amahon Israel Pathen’ah Israel pumpi dingin bongchal somle ni, kelngoi chal somko le gup leh kelngoi ja sagi le som sagi akatdoh un ahi. Amahon chonset thoidamna dingin kelchal somle ni jong akatdoh un ahi. Hiche ho jousehi Pakai komma pumgo thilto kin bolnan aneiyun ahi.
Moreover, those who came from the captivity, the sons of the transmigration, offered holocausts to the God of Israel: twelve calves on behalf of all the people of Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, and twelve he-goats for sin. All these were a holocaust to the Lord.
36 Lengpa thupeh chu Euphrates vadung lhumlam gamkaija gamvaipo pa leh vaihom lenpen ho jouse kommah akithot lut sohkeijin, hijeh amaho chun akithopi soh keiyun ahi.
Then they gave the edicts of the king to the rulers who served in the sight of the king, and to the governors beyond the river, and they exalted the people and the house of God.
