14 屬比革瓦伊的子孫有烏太和撒布，同着他們有男丁七十。
of the sones of Beguy, Vtai, and Zaccur, and with hem weren seuenti men.
15 我招聚這些人在流入亞哈瓦的河邊，我們在那裏住了三日。我查看百姓和祭司，見沒有利未人在那裏，
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 就召首領以利以謝、亞列、示瑪雅、以利拿單、雅立、以利拿單、拿單、撒迦利亞、米書蘭，又召教習約雅立和以利拿單。
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 我打發他們往迦西斐雅地方去見那裏的首領易多，又告訴他們當向易多和他的弟兄尼提寧說甚麼話，叫他們為我們上帝的殿帶使用的人來。
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 蒙我們上帝施恩的手幫助我們，他們在以色列的曾孫、利未的孫子、抹利的後裔中帶一個通達人來；還有示利比和他的眾子與弟兄共一十八人。
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 又有哈沙比雅，同着他有米拉利的子孫耶篩亞，並他的眾子和弟兄共二十人。
and Azabie, and Isaie, with him of the sones of Merari, thei brouyten his britheren, and his sones, twenti;
20 從前大衛和眾首領派尼提寧服事利未人，現在從這尼提寧中也帶了二百二十人來，都是按名指定的。
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 那時，我在亞哈瓦河邊宣告禁食，為要在我們上帝面前克苦己心，求他使我們和婦人孩子，並一切所有的，都得平坦的道路。
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 我求王撥步兵馬兵幫助我們抵擋路上的仇敵，本以為羞恥；因我曾對王說：「我們上帝施恩的手必幫助一切尋求他的；但他的能力和忿怒必攻擊一切離棄他的。」
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 所以我們禁食祈求我們的上帝，他就應允了我們。
Forsothe we fastiden, and preieden oure God for this thing, and it bifelde to vs `bi prosperite.
24 我分派祭司長十二人，就是示利比、哈沙比雅，和他們的弟兄十人，
And `Y departide twelue of the princes of prestis, Sarabie, and Asabie, and ten of her britheren with hem;
25 將王和謀士、軍長，並在那裏的以色列眾人為我們上帝殿所獻的金銀和器皿，都秤了交給他們。
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 我秤了交在他們手中的銀子有六百五十他連得；銀器重一百他連得；金子一百他連得；
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 金碗二十個，重一千達利克；上等光銅的器皿兩個，寶貴如金。
and twenti goldun cuppis, that hadden a thousynde peesis of gold; and twei faire vessels of best bras, schynynge as gold.
28 我對他們說：「你們歸耶和華為聖，器皿也為聖；金銀是甘心獻給耶和華－你們列祖之上帝的。
And Y seide to hem, Ye ben the hooli men of the Lord,
29 你們當警醒看守，直到你們在耶路撒冷耶和華殿的庫內，在祭司長和利未族長，並以色列的各族長面前過了秤。」
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 於是，祭司、利未人按着分量接受金銀和器皿，要帶到耶路撒冷我們上帝的殿裏。
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 正月十二日，我們從亞哈瓦河邊起行，要往耶路撒冷去。我們上帝的手保佑我們，救我們脫離仇敵和路上埋伏之人的手。
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 我們到了耶路撒冷，在那裏住了三日。
And we camen to Jerusalem, and we dwelliden there thre daies.
33 第四日，在我們上帝的殿裏把金銀和器皿都秤了，交在祭司烏利亞的兒子米利末的手中。同着他有非尼哈的兒子以利亞撒，還有利未人耶書亞的兒子約撒拔和賓內的兒子挪亞底。
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 當時都點了數目，按着分量寫在冊上。
and al the weiyte was discriued in that tyme.
35 從擄到之地歸回的人向以色列的上帝獻燔祭，就是為以色列眾人獻公牛十二隻，公綿羊九十六隻，綿羊羔七十七隻，又獻公山羊十二隻作贖罪祭，這都是向耶和華焚獻的。
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 他們將王的諭旨交給王所派的總督與河西的省長，他們就幫助百姓，又供給上帝殿裏所需用的。
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.
