Ezra 8
1 These are the family heads and genealogical records of those who returned with me from Babylon during the reign of King Artaxerxes:
Na ko nga upoko enei o nga whare o o ratou matua, ko nga whakapaparanga ano enei o te hunga i haere atu hei hoa moku i Papurona, i te kingitanga o Kingi Arataherehe.

14 and from the descendants of Bigvai, both Uthai and Zaccur, and with them 70 men.
O nga tama ano a Pikiwai; ko Utai, ko Tapuru; na, ko o ratou hoa, e whitu tekau nga tane.
15 Now I assembled these exiles at the canal that flows to Ahava, and we camped there three days. And when I searched among the people and priests, I found no Levites there.
Na ka huihuia ratou e ahau ki te awa e rere ana ki Ahawa, a noho ana matou i reira e toru nga ra; a, i taku tirohanga i te iwi, i nga tohunga, na kihai tetahi o nga tama a Riwai i kitea e ahau ki reira.
16 Then I summoned the leaders: Eliezer, Ariel, Shemaiah, Elnathan, Jarib, Elnathan, Nathan, Zechariah, and Meshullam, as well as the teachers Joiarib and Elnathan.
Katahi ahau ka tono kia tikina a Erietere, a Ariere, a Hemaia, a Erenatana, a Iaripi, a Erenatana, a Natana, a Hakaraia, a Mehurama, he upoko enei; a Toiaripi ano a Erenatana, he kaiwhakaako raua.
17 And I sent them to Iddo, the leader at Casiphia, with a message for him and his kinsmen, the temple servants at Casiphia, that they should bring to us ministers for the house of our God.
Na ka unga ratou e ahau ki a Iro; ki te upoko o te kainga, o Kahipia; a i hoatu ano e ahau he kupu hei korero ma ratou ki a Iro ratou ko ona teina, ko nga Netinimi, i te kainga, i Kahipia, kia kawea mai ai e ratou he minita ki a matou mo te whar e o to tatou Atua.
18 And since the gracious hand of our God was upon us, they brought us Sherebiah—a man of insight from the descendants of Mahli son of Levi, the son of Israel—along with his sons and brothers, 18 men;
Na i runga i a matou te ringa pai o to matou Atua, a ka kawea mai e ratou ki a matou he tangata whai whakaaro, no nga tama a Mahari, tama a Riwai, tama a Iharaira; a Herepia ano ratou ko ana tama, ko ona tuakana, teina, kotahi tekau ma waru;
19 also Hashabiah, together with Jeshaiah, from the descendants of Merari, and his brothers and their sons, 20 men.
A Hahapia hoki me Ihaia, no nga tama a Merari, ratou ko ona tuakana, teina, me a ratou tama, e rua tekau;
20 They also brought 220 of the temple servants, all designated by name. David and the officials had appointed them to assist the Levites.
O nga Netinimi ano i whakaritea nei e Rawiri, e nga rangatira, mo nga mahi a nga Riwaiti, e rua rau e rua tekau nga Netinimi; he mea whakahua katoa o ratou ingoa.
21 And there by the Ahava Canal I proclaimed a fast, so that we might humble ourselves before our God and ask Him for a safe journey for us and our children, with all our possessions.
Katahi ka karangatia e ahau he nohopuku ki reira ki te taha o te awa o Ahawa, kia whakaiti ai matou i a matou ki te aroaro o to matou Atua, kia rapua ai e matou i a ia te ara tika mo matou, mo a matou tamariki, mo o matou taonga katoa.
22 For I was ashamed to ask the king for an escort of soldiers and horsemen to protect us from our enemies on the road, since we had told him, “The hand of our God is gracious to all who seek Him, but His great anger is against all who forsake Him.”
I whakama hoki ahau ki te tono ki te kingi i tetahi ropu hoia me etahi kaieke hoiho hei tuara mo matou ki te hoariri i te ara; i korero hoki matou ki te kingi, i mea, Kei runga te ringa o to matou Atua i te hunga katoa e rapu ana i a ia, hei pai mo ratou: otiia ka whawhai tona kaha, me tona riri, ki te hunga katoa e whakarere ana i a ia.
23 So we fasted and petitioned our God about this, and He granted our request.
Na, nohopuku ana matou, rapua ana e matou he tikanga i to matou Atua mo tenei mea, a tahuri mai ana ia ki a matou.
24 Then I set apart twelve of the leading priests, together with Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brothers,
Na ka motuhia e ahau etahi o nga tohunga kotahi tekau ma rua, a Herepia, a Hahapia, me o ratou teina kotahi tekau.
25 and I weighed out to them the contribution of silver and gold and the articles that the king, his counselors, his leaders, and all the Israelites there had offered for the house of our God.
Paunatia ana e ahau te hiriwa, te koura, me nga oko ara te whakahere ki te whare o to matou Atua i homai nei e te kingi ratou ko ana kaiwhakatakoto whakaaro, ko ana rangatira, e Iharaira katoa ano i reira.
26 I weighed out into their hands 650 talents of silver, articles of silver weighing 100 talents, 100 talents of gold,
I paunatia ano e ahau ki o ratou ringa te hiriwa e ono rau e rima tekau taranata, nga oko hiriwa kotahi rau taranata; te koura kotahi rau taranata.
27 20 gold bowls valued at 1,000 darics, and two articles of fine polished bronze, as precious as gold.
Me nga peihana koura e rua tekau, kotahi mano tarami te taimaha; me nga oko e rua, he parahi pai, kanapa tonu, rite tonu ki te koura te utu nui.
28 Then I told them, “You are holy to the LORD, and these articles are holy. The silver and gold are a freewill offering to the LORD, the God of your fathers.
I mea ano ahau ki a ratou, He tapu koutou ki a Ihowa, he tapu hoki nga oko; he mea whakahere noa ake ano hoki te hiriwa me te koura ma Ihowa, ma te Atua o o koutou matua.
29 Guard them carefully until you weigh them out in the chambers of the house of the LORD in Jerusalem before the leading priests, Levites, and heads of the Israelite families.”
Matapoporetia iho, tiakina, kia paunatia ra ano e koutou ki te aroaro o nga rangatira, o nga tohunga, o nga Riwaiti, o nga rangatira o nga whare o nga matua o Iharaira, ki Hiruharama, i roto i nga ruma o te whare o Ihowa.
30 So the priests and Levites took charge of the silver and gold and sacred articles that had been weighed out to be taken to the house of our God in Jerusalem.
Heoi riro ana i nga tohunga, i nga Riwaiti, te taimaha o te hiriwa, o te koura, o nga oko, hei mau ki Hiruharama, ki te whare o to tatou Atua.
31 On the twelfth day of the first month we set out from the Ahava Canal to go to Jerusalem, and the hand of our God was upon us to protect us from the hands of the enemies and bandits along the way.
Na ka turia e matou i te awa o Ahawa i te tekau ma rua o te marama tuatahi, ka haere ki Hiruharama. I runga hoki i a matou te ringa o to matou Atua, a whakaorangia ana matou e ia i te ringa o te hoariri, o te kaiwhanga i te ara.
32 So we arrived at Jerusalem and rested there for three days.
Na kua tae matou ki Hiruharama, a noho ana i reira, e toru nga ra.
33 On the fourth day, in the house of our God, we weighed out the silver and gold and sacred articles into the hand of Meremoth son of Uriah, the priest. Eleazar son of Phinehas was with him, along with the Levites Jozabad son of Jeshua and Noadiah son of Binnui.
I te wha o nga ra, na ko taua hiriwa, koura, me nga oko, ka paunatia i roto i te whare o to tatou Atua e te ringa o Meremoto tama a Uria tohunga; i a ia ano a Ereatara tama a Pinehaha; i a raua hoki a Iotapara tama a Hehua; raua ko Noaria tama a Pinui, no nga Riwaiti.
34 Everything was verified by number and weight, and the total weight was recorded at that time.
He mea tatau, he mea pauna, tenei, tenei; i tuhituhia hoki nga taimaha katoa i taua wa ano.
35 Then the exiles who had returned from captivity sacrificed burnt offerings to the God of Israel: 12 bulls for all Israel, 96 rams, 77 lambs, and a sin offering of 12 male goats. All this was a burnt offering to the LORD.
Na, ko te hunga i haere mai nei i te whakarau, nga tama a te hunga i whakaraua atu, tapaea ana e ratou he tahunga tinana ma te Atua o Iharaira, kotahi tekau ma rua puru, he mea mo Iharaira katoa, e iwa tekau ma ono hipi toa, e whitu tekau ma whi tu reme, tekau ma rua koati toa, hei whakahere hara: ko tenei katoa hei tahunga tinana ki a Ihowa.
36 They also delivered the king’s edicts to the royal satraps and governors of the region west of the Euphrates, who proceeded to assist the people and the house of God.
Na ka hoatu nga ture a te kingi ki nga kawana nui a te kingi, ki nga kawana iti i tera taha o te awa; a ko ratou hei whakaneke ake i ta te iwi, i te whare ano o te Atua.
