14 彼革外的子孫，鍵盤匝雇爾的兒子烏泰，同他一起的，有男子七十名。
of the sones of Beguy, Vtai, and Zaccur, and with hem weren seuenti men.
15 我將眾人召集在流往阿哈瓦的河邊，在那裏住了三天；當我視察眾人和司祭時，其中沒有發現一個肋未人。
Forsothe Y gaderide hem togidere at the flood, that renneth doun to Hanna; and we dwelliden there thre daies. And `Y souyte in the puple, and in the prestis of the sonus of Leuy, and Y fonde not there.
16 我遂派首領厄里厄則爾、阿黎爾、舍瑪雅、厄耳納堂、雅黎布、厄耳納堂、納堂、則加黎雅和默叔藍通士約雅黎布和厄耳納堂，
Therfor Y sente Eliezer, and Ariehel, and Semeam, and Helnathan, and Jaubeth, and an other Helnathan, and Nathan, and Zacharie, and Mesollam, princes; and Joarib, and Elnathan, wise men;
17 命他們到加息非雅地方的首領依多那裏去，我並把他們應向那定居在加息非雅的依多和兄弟們，要說的話告訴了他們，好為我們天主的殿，給我們帶來侍役。
and Y sente hem to Heldo, which is `the firste in the place of Casphie, and Y puttide in the mouth of hem wordis, whiche thei schulden speke to Heldo, and to hise britheren, Natynneis, in the place of Casphie, for to brynge to vs the mynystris of the hows of oure God.
18 賴我們天主慈悲的手對我們的扶助，他們由以色列的兒子肋未的後裔瑪赫里的子孫中，給我們帶來了一位明智人，就是舍勒彼雅，和兒子及兄弟，一共十八人；
And `thei brouyten to vs, bi the good hoond of oure God on vs, a ful wijs man of the sones of Mooli, the sone of Leuy, sone of Israel; and Sarabie, and his sones twenti, and his britheren eiytene;
19 還有哈沙彼雅，同他一起的，有默辣黎的子孫耶沙和雅及兒子，一共二 十人；
and Azabie, and Isaie, with him of the sones of Merari, thei brouyten his britheren, and his sones, twenti;
20 還有達味和諸首長服事肋未人所立 獻身者，一共二百二十人；這些人全部都是登記了的。
and of Nathynneis, whiche Dauid and the princis hadden youe to the seruyces of dekenes, thei brouyten two hundrid and twenti Nathynneis; alle these weren clepid bi her names.
21 我遂在阿哈瓦河那裏禁食，在我們的天主前自謙自卑，祈求衪使我們和我們的子孫，並我們的一切財物，一路平安；
And `Y prechide there fastyng bisidis the flood of Hanna, that we schulden be turmentid bifor `oure Lord God, and that we schulden axe of him the riytful weie to vs, and to oure sones, and to al oure catel.
22 因為我羞於請求君王派遺步隊和騎兵，協助我們防禦路上的仇敵，因為我們曾向君王說萵：「凡尋求天主的人，衪的手常加助佑；凡離棄衪的人，衪便施行強力和義怒」。
For Y schamede to axe of the kyng help, and horse men, that schulden defende vs fro enemyes in the weie, for we hadden seid to the king, The hond of oure God is on alle men that seken hym in goodnesse; and his lordschip, and his strengthe, and strong veniaunce ben on alle men that forsaken hym.
23 我們為此禁食，祈求我們的天主，衪便俯聽了我們。
Forsothe we fastiden, and preieden oure God for this thing, and it bifelde to vs `bi prosperite.
24 我由司祭的首領選了十二人，又選了舍勒彼雅和哈沙彼雅，以及同他們在一起的十個兄弟，
And `Y departide twelue of the princes of prestis, Sarabie, and Asabie, and ten of her britheren with hem;
25 把金銀和器皿，即君王和他的謀、首長，以及在那裏所有的以色列人，奉獻給我們天主殿的禮品，一一衡量了交給了他們。
and Y bitook vndur certeyn weiyte and noumbre to hem the siluer and gold, and the halewid vessels of the hows of oure God, whiche the kyng hadde offrid, and hise counseleris, and hise princes, and `al Israel, of hem that weren foundun.
26 我衡量了交在他們手中的，有銀子六百五十「塔冷通」，銀器一百「塔冷通」，金子一百「塔冷通」；
And Y bitook vndur certeyn weiyte and noumbre in the hondis of hem sixe hundrid and fifti talentis of siluer, and an hundrid siluerne vessels; an hundrid talentis of gold,
27 還有金碗二十個，值一千「達理克」；發亮的銅器二個，貴如黃金。
and twenti goldun cuppis, that hadden a thousynde peesis of gold; and twei faire vessels of best bras, schynynge as gold.
28 我向他們說：「你們在上主前是聖的，器皿也是聖的，金銀是自願獻於上主你們祖先的天主，作禮品的。
And Y seide to hem, Ye ben the hooli men of the Lord,
29 你們要謹慎護守，直到在耶路撒冷，在上主殿宇的庫房內，當著司祭和肋未人的首領，以及以色列眾族長的面，衡量交清為止」。
and wake ye, and kepe the hooli vessels, and siluer and gold, which is offrid bi fre wille to the Lord God of oure fadris, til ye yelde vndur certeyn weiyte and noumbre bifor th princes of prestis, and of dekenes, and bifor the duykis of meynees of Israel in Jerusalem, in to the tresour of Goddis hows.
30 司祭自己和肋未人，就把數點過的金銀和器皿收下，帶到耶路撒冷我們天主的殿內。
Sotheli the preestis and dekenes token the weiyte of siluer, and of gold, and of vessels, for to bere in to Jerusalem, in to the hows of oure God.
31 一月十二日，我們從阿哈瓦河起程赴耶路撒冷，賴我們天主的手扶助，我們一路脫免了仇人和暗害者的手，
Therfor we mouyden forth fro the flood of Hanna, in the tweluethe dai of the firste monethe, for to go in to Jerusalem; and the hond of oure God was on vs, and delyuerde vs fro the hond of enemye and of aspiere in the weie.
32 平安到了耶路撒冷，在那裏休息了三天o
And we camen to Jerusalem, and we dwelliden there thre daies.
33 第四日，在我們天主是殿內，衡量了金銀和器皿，交給了烏利雅的兒子默勒摩特司祭，同他在一起的，還有丕乃哈斯的兒子厄肋阿匝爾，以及肋未人耶叔亞的兒子約匝巴得，和彼奴依的兒子諾阿狄雅，
Forsothe in the fourthe dai the siluer was yoldun vndur certeyn weiyte and noumbre, and the gold, and the vessels, `in the hows of oure God, by the noumbre and weiyte of alle thingis, bi the hond of Remmoth, `sone of Vrie, preest; and with him was Eleazar, the sone of Phynees, and with him weren Jozaded, the sone of Josue, and Noadaie, the sone of Bennoy, dekenes;
34 每件點過稱過，即將總數記錄下來。
and al the weiyte was discriued in that tyme.
35 當時被擄充軍回來的子民，向以色列的天主奉獻了全燔祭，為全以色列奉獻了牛犢十二頭，公綿羊九十六隻，羔羊七十二隻，作贖罪祭的公山羊十二隻：這一切都獻給上主作全燔祭。
But also the sones of transmygracioun, that camen fro caitifte, offriden brent sacrifices to the Lord God of Israel, `twelue calues for al the puple of Israel, nynti and sixe rammes, seuene and seuenti lambren, twelue buckis of geet for synne; alle thingis in to brent sacrifice to the Lord.
36 以後，他們向君王的州長和河西諸省長，呈上君王的諭令；他們便協助民眾，資助天主的殿宇。
Forsothe thei yauen the comaundementis of the kyng to the princes, that weren of the siyt of the king, and to the duykis biyende the flood; and thei reisiden the puple, and the hows of God.
