1 巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒從前擄到巴比倫之猶大省的人，現在他們的子孫從被擄到之地回耶路撒冷和猶大，各歸本城。
King Nebuchadnezzar’s [soldiers] had captured many [Israeli] people and taken them to Babylonia. [Many years later, ] some Israeli people returned to Judah.

Altogether, there were 392 temple workers and descendants of Solomon’s servants who returned.
59 從特‧米拉、特‧哈薩、基綠、押但、音麥上來的，不能指明他們的宗族譜系是以色列人不是；
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.
60 他們是第來雅的子孫、多比雅的子孫、尼哥大的子孫，共六百五十二名。
This group included 652 people who were descendants of Delaiah, Tobiah, and Nekoda.
61 祭司中，哈巴雅的子孫、哈哥斯的子孫、巴西萊的子孫；因為他們的先祖娶了基列人巴西萊的女兒為妻，所以起名叫巴西萊。
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.
62 這三家的人在族譜之中尋查自己的譜系，卻尋不着，因此算為不潔，不准供祭司的職任。
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.
63 省長對他們說：「不可吃至聖的物，直到有用烏陵和土明決疑的祭司興起來。」
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.
64 會眾共有四萬二千三百六十名。
Altogether 42,360 Israeli people who returned to Judah.
65 此外，還有他們的僕婢七千三百三十七名，又有歌唱的男女二百名。
There were also 7,337 servants and 200 musicians, both men and women, who returned.
66 他們有馬七百三十六匹，騾子二百四十五匹，
The Israelis brought with them [from Babylonia] 736 horses, 245 mules,
67 駱駝四百三十五隻，驢六千七百二十匹。
435 camels, and 6,720 donkeys.
68 有些族長到了耶路撒冷耶和華殿的地方，便為上帝的殿甘心獻上禮物，要重新建造。
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.
69 他們量力捐入工程庫的金子六萬一千達利克，銀子五千彌拿，並祭司的禮服一百件。
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.
70 於是祭司、利未人、民中的一些人、歌唱的、守門的、尼提寧，並以色列眾人，各住在自己的城裏。
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.
