Anthu ali mʼmunsiwa anabwera kuchokera ku mizinda ya Teli-Mela, Teli-Harisa, Kerubi, Adoni ndi Imeri, ngakhale samatha kutsimikiza kuti mafuko awo analidi Aisraeli enieni kapena ayi:

62 These men searched for their family records, but they could not find them and so were excluded from the priesthood as unclean.
Amenewa anafufuza mayina awo mʼbuku lofotokoza mbiri ya mafuko awo, koma mayinawo sanawapezemo, choncho anawachotsa pa unsembe ngati anthu odetsedwa pa zachipembedzo.
63 The governor ordered them not to eat the most holy things until there was a priest to consult the Urim and Thummim.

69 According to their ability, they gave to the treasury for this work 61,000 darics of gold, 5,000 minas of silver, and 100 priestly garments.
