14 nyikwa Bigvai, Uthai kod Zakur, kaachiel kodgi ji piero abiriyo.

And of the sons of Baguae, Uthai, and Zabud, and with him seventy males.

15 Ne achokogi e bath aora mamol kochiko Ahava, kendo ne wabuoro kanyo kuom ndalo adek. Kane arango e dier ji kod jodolo, ne ok ayudo jo-Lawi kanyo.

And I gathered them to the river that comes to Evi, and we encamped there three days: and I reviewed the people and the priests, and found none of the sons of Levi there.

16 Omiyo ne aluongo Eliezer, Ariel, Shemaya, Elnathan, Jarib, Elnathan, Nathan, Zekaria kod Meshulam, mane gin jotelo, kod Joyiarib gi Elnathan, mane gin joma osomo,

And I sent men of understanding to Eleazar, to Ariel, to Semeias, and to Alonam, and to Jarib, and to Elnatham, and to Nathan, and to Zacharias, and to Mesollam, and to Joarim, and to Elnathan.

17 kendo ne aorogi ir Ido, jatelo Kasifia. Ne anyisogi gima giwachne Ido kod joge, jotij hekalu man Kasifia, mondo omi gikelnwa ji ne od Nyasachwa.

And I forwarded them to the rulers with the money of the place, and I put words in their mouth to speak to their brethren the Athinim with the money of the place, that they should bring us singers for the house of our God.

18 Nikech lwet Nyasachwa mar ngʼwono ne ni kuomwa, ne gikelonwa Sherebia, ngʼatno man-gi nyalo, koa e nyikwa Mali wuod Lawi, wuod Israel, kod yawuot Sherebia gi owetene, ji apar gaboro;

And they came to us, as the good hand of our God was upon us, even a man of understanding of the sons of Mooli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel, and at the commencement came his sons and his brethren, eighteen.

19 kod Hashabia, kanyakla gi Jeshaya ma nyikwa Merari, kod owetene gi yawuot owetene, ji piero ariyo.

And Asebia, and Isaia of the sons of Merari, his brethren and his sons, twenty.

20 Bende negikelo jotije hekalu mia ariyo gi piero ariyo, ma en riwruok mane Daudi kod jotelo nochako mondo okony jo-Lawi. Giduto nondik nying-gi piny.

And of the Nathinim; whom David and the princes had appointed for the service of the Levites [there were] two hundred and twenty Nathinim; all were gathered by [their] names.

21 Bangʼ mano, ne agolo chik mondo watwe chiemo e dho aora Ahava ka wahore wawegi e nyim Nyasachwa kendo wakwaye wuoth maber ni wan gi nyithindwa, gi giwa duto.

And I proclaimed there a fast, at the river Aue, that [we] should humble ourselves before our God, to seek of him a straight way for us, and for our children, and for all our property.

22 Wiya nokuot mar kwayo ruodh jolweny kod joriemb farese mondo ogengʼwa kuom wasikwa manie yo, nikech ne wasenyiso ruoth niya, “Lwet Nyasachwa mar ngʼwono nitie kuom ji duto moketo genogi kuome, to mirimbe mager ni kuom jogo mojwangʼe.”

For I was ashamed to ask of the king a guard and horsemen to save us from the enemy in the way: for we had spoken to the king, saying, The hand of our God [is] upon all that seek him, for good; but his power and his wrath [are] upon all that forsake him.

23 Omiyo ne watweyo chiemo kendo wakwayo Nyasachwa kuom ma, kendo nodwoko lamowa.

So we fasted, and asked of our God concerning this; and he listened to us.

24 Eka ne awalo jodolo motelo apar gariyo, kanyakla gi Sherebia, Hashabia kod owetegi apar,

And I gave charge to twelve of the chiefs of the priests, to Saraia, to Asabia, and ten of their brethren with them.

25 kendo ne apimonegi pek chiwo mar fedha gi dhahabu kod gik mane ruoth, jongʼadne rieko, jotende kod jo-Israel duto mane ni kanyo nosechiwo ne od Nyasachwa.

And I weighed to them the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of the first fruits of the house of our God, which the king, and his councillors, and his princes, and all Israel that were found, had dedicated.

26 Ne apimonegi pek mar fedha mane en talanta mia auchiel gi piero abich, gige fedha pekgi ne en talanta mia achiel, pek dhahabu ne en talanta mia achiel,

I even weighed into their hands six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and a hundred silver vessels, and a hundred talents of gold;

27 bakunde piero ariyo mar dhahabu ma nengogi romo darik alufu achiel, kod gik moko ariyo mag nyinyo mowir mongʼith, bende maber ka dhahabu.

and twenty golden bowls, [weighing] about a thousand drachmas, and superior vessels of fine shining brass, [precious] as gold.

28 Ne awachonegi niya, “In kaachiel gi gigi owalu tenge ne Jehova Nyasaye. Fedha gi dhahabu gin chiwo mar hera ne Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach kwereu.

And I said to them, You [are] holy to the Lord; and the vessels [are] holy; and the silver and the gold are free will offerings to the Lord God of our fathers.

29 Ritgiuru ka utangʼ nyaka chop upimgi e agola mar od Jehova Nyasaye man Jerusalem e nyim jodolo motelo gi jo-Lawi kod jotend anywola mag Israel.”

Be watchful and keep them, until you weigh [them] before the chief priests and the Levites, and the chiefs of families in Jerusalem, at the chambers of the house of the Lord.

30 Bangʼe jodolo kod jo-Lawi noyudo fedha gi dhahabu kod gik mowal mane osepim pekgi mondo ter e od Nyasachwa e Jerusalem.

So the priests and the Levites took the weight of the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, to bring to Jerusalem into the house of our God.

31 E odiechiengʼ mar apar gariyo e dwe mokwongo ne wawuok ka waa e aora mar Ahava mondo wadhi Jerusalem. Lwet Nyasachwa ne ni kuomwa, nogengʼonwa wasigu gi jonjore mane ni e wangʼ yo.

And we departed from the river of Aue on the twelfth day of the first month, to come to Jerusalem: and the hand of our God was upon us, and delivered us from the hand of the enemy and adversary in the way.

32 Omiyo ne wachopo Jerusalem, kama ne wayweyoe kuom ndalo adek.

And we came to Jerusalem, and abode there three days.

33 E odiechiengʼ mar angʼwen, e od Nyasachwa, ne wapimo pek fedha gi dhahabu kod gigo mowal ma waketo e lwet Meremoth wuod Uria, ma jadolo, Eliazar wuod Finehas ne ni kode, kod jo-Lawi bende kaka Jozabad wuod Jeshua gi Noadia wuod Binui.

And it came to pass on the fourth day that we weighed the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, in the house of our God, into the hand of Merimoth the son of Uria the priest; and with him [was] Eleazar the son of Phinees, and with them Jozabad the son of Jesus, and Noadia the son of Banaia, the Levites.

34 Gik moko nokwan mongʼe kar kwan-gi kod pek mag-gi, kendo pek mag-gi nondik piny e sechego.

All things [were reckoned] by number and weight, and the whole weight was written [down].

35 Eka joma ne otwe mane odwogo koa e twech nochiwo misango mar misengini miwangʼo pep ni Nyasach Israel mane gin, rwedhi apar gariyo ne jo-Israel duto, imbe piero ochiko gauchiel, nyithi rombe machwo piero abiriyo gabiriyo, to gi nywogi apar gariyo kaka misango mar golo richo. Magi duto ne gin misango miwangʼo pep ni Jehova Nyasaye.

At that time the children of the banishment that came from the captivity offered whole burnt offerings to the God of Israel, twelve calves for all Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, twelve goats for a sin-offering; all whole burnt offerings to the Lord.

36 Bende ne gitero chike mane ruoth ochiwo ni jotend gwenge kod jotend Yufrate, bangʼe negichiwo kony ni ji kod ni od Nyasaye.

And they gave the king's mandate to the king's lieutenants, and the governors beyond the river: and they honored the people and the house of God.
