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.

And I gathered them together to the river, which runneth down to Ahava, and we stayed there three days: and I sought among the people and among the priests for the sons of Levi, and 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.

So I sent Eliezer, and Ariel, and Semeias, and Elnathan, and Jarib, and another Elnathan, and Nathan, and Zacharias, and Mosollam, chief men: and Joiarib, and Elnathan, wise men.

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 Eddo, who is chief in the place of Chasphia, and I put in their mouth the words that they should speak to Eddo, and his brethren the Nathinites in the place of Chasphia, that they should bring us ministers of 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 by the good hand of our God upon us, they brought us a most learned man of the sons of Moholi the son of Levi the son of Israel, and Sarabias and his sons, and his brethren eighteen,

19 Amahon Merari chilhah holah a kon’in Hashabiah chule Jeshaiah toh ahinsol thauvin chuleh achate le asopite somni jong ahin sollun chuleh

And Hasabias, and with him Isaias of the sons of Merari, and his brethren, and his sons twenty.

20 Houin lhacha jani le somni jong ahin sol thauvin ahi.

And of the Nathinites, whom David, and the princes gave for the service of the Levites, Nathinites two hundred and twenty: 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 there a fast by the river Ahava, that we might afflict ourselves before the Lord our God, and might ask of him a right way for us and for our children, 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 ask the king for aid and for horsemen, to defend us from the enemy in the way: because we had said to the king: The hand of our God is upon all them that seek him in goodness: and his power and strength, and wrath upon all them that 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 we fasted, and besought our God for this: and it fell out prosperously unto us.

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 of the chief of the priests, Sarabias, and Hasabias, and with them ten of their brethren,

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 unto them the silver and gold, and the vessels consecrated for the house of our God, which the king and his counsellors, and his princes, and all Israel, that were found had offered.

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 to their hands six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and a hundred vessels of silver, and a 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 cups of gold, of a thousand solids, and two vessels of the best shining brass, 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, and the silver and gold, that is freely offered 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 ye and beep them, till you deliver them by weight before the chief of the priests, and of the Levites, and the heads of the families of Israel in Jerusalem, into the treasure 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.

And the priests and the Levites received the weight of the silver and gold, and the vessels, to carry them to Jerusalem to 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.

Then we set forward from the river Ahava on the twelfth day of the first month to go to Jerusalem: and the hand of our God was upon us, and delivered us from the hand of the enemy, and of such as lay in wait by the way.

32 Hiti chun Jerusalem chu damsel le bit kei chan kaga lhungun hichea chun nithum kakicholdo uvin ahi.

And we came to Jerusalem, and we stayed there 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.

And on the fourth day the silver and the gold, and the vessels were weighed in the house of our God by the hand of Meremoth the son of Urias the priest, and with him was Eleazar the son of Phinees, and with them Jozabad the son of Josue, and Noadaia the son of Benoi, Levites.

34 Thiljouse chu ajatle agih jatchu aki tetoh soh keijin hicheng chu agihna jat pumpin kivaipohna dungjui in hoitah in akijihlut in ahi.

According to the number and weight of every thing: and all the weight was written 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 the children of them that had been carried away that were come out of the captivity, offered holocausts to the God of Israel, twelve calves for all the people of Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, and twelve he goats for sin: all for 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.

And they gave the king’s edicts to the lords that were from the king’s court, and the governors beyond the river, and they furthered the people and the house of God.
