Ezra 8
1 And so these are the leaders of the families, with their genealogy, of those who ascended with me from Babylon, during the reign of king Artaxerxes.
He rhoek kah a napa boeilu neh a khuui he Babylon lamloh manghai Artaxerxes ram tue vaengah kamah neh aka mael rhoek ni.
2 From the sons of Phinehas, Gershom. From the sons of Ithamar, Daniel. From the sons of David, Hattush.
Phinekha koca lamkah Gershom, Ithamar koca lamkah Daniel, David koca lamkah Hattush.
3 From the sons of Shecaniah, the son of Parosh, Zechariah, and one hundred fifty men were numbered with him.

4 From the sons of Pahath-moab, Eliehoenai, the son of Zerahiah, and two hundred men were with him.

5 From the sons of Shecaniah, the son of Jahaziel, and three hundred men were with him.
Jahaziel capa Shekaniah koca neh a taengkah tongpa ya thum.
6 From the sons of Adin, Ebed, the son of Jonathan, and fifty men were with him.
Adin koca lamloh Jonathan capa Ebed neh a taengkah tongpa sawmnga.
7 From the sons of Elam, Jeshaiah, the son of Athaliah, and seventy men were with him.
Elam koca lamloh Athaliah capa Isaiah neh a taengkah tongpa sawmrhih.
8 From the sons of Shephatiah, Zebadiah, the son of Michael, and eighty men were with him.
Shephatiah koca lamloh Michael capa Zebadiah neh a taengkah tongpa sawmrhet.
9 From the sons of Joab, Obadiah, the son of Jehiel, and two hundred eighteen men were with him.
Joab koca lamloh Jehiel capa Obadiah neh a taengkah tongpa yahnih hlai rhet.
10 From the sons of Shelomith, the son of Josiphiah, and one hundred sixty men were with him.
Shelomith koca lamloh Josiphiah capa neh a taengkah tongpa ya sawmrhuk.
11 From the sons of Bebai, Zechariah, the son of Bebai, and twenty-eight men were with him.
Bebai koca lamloh Bebai capa Zekhariah neh a taengkah tongpa pakul parhet.
12 From the sons of Azgad, Johanan, the son of Hakkatan, and one hundred and ten men were with him.
Azgad koca lamloh Hakkatan capa Johanan neh a taengkah tongpa ya parha.
13 From the sons of Adonikam, who were the last, and these were their names: Eliphelet, and Jeuel, and Shemaiah, and sixty men were with them.
Lamhnuk kah Adonikam koca lamkah khaw a ming la Eliphelet, Jeuel, Shemaiah neh amih taengkah tongpa sawmrhuk.
14 From the sons of Bigvai, Uthai and Zaccur, and seventy men were with them.
Bigvai koca lamloh Uthai, Zabbud, Zakkuur neh a taengkah tongpa sawmrhih.
15 Now I gathered them together at the river that runs down to Ahava, and we stayed there for three days. And I sought among the people and among the priests for the sons of Levi, and I found none there.
Amih te Ahava la aka pawk tuiva ah ka tingtun sak tih hnin thum pahoi ka rhaeh uh. Te vaengah pilnam khui neh khosoih khuikah te ka yakming dae Levi koca rhoek lamkah ka hmu pawh.
16 And so I sent Eliezer, and Ariel, and Shemaiah, and Elnathan, and Jarib, and another Elnathan, and Nathan, and Zechariah, and Meshullam, who were leaders, and Joiarib and Elnathan, who were wise.
Te phoeiah boeilu rhoek Eliezer ham, Ariel ham, Shemaiah ham neh, Elnathan ham neh Jarib ham khaw, Elnathan ham neh Nathan ham khaw, Zekhariah ham neh Meshullam ham khaw, aka yakming thai Joiarib neh Elnathan ham khaw ka tueih.
17 And I sent them to Iddo, who is first within the place of Casiphia. And I placed in their mouth the words that they should speak to Iddo and his brothers, the temple servants, in the place of Casiphia, so that they would lead to us ministers for the house of our God.
Te te ka khuen sak tih Kasiphia hmuen kah boeilu Iddo taengah ka uen. A manuca Iddo taengah thui ham ol te amih ka dongah ka khueh pah coeng. Mamih kah Pathen im ah aka thohtat te mamih taengla hang khuen ham te Kasiphia hmuen kah tamtaeng rhoek a khueh.
18 And because the good hand of our God was over us, they led to us a very learned man from the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel, with Sherebiah, and his sons, and his eighteen brothers,
Kaimih kah Pathen kah kut he kaimih soah a then dongah ni kaimih taengla lungming hlang ha pawk. Israel ca Mahli koca lamloh Levi capa khaw, Sherebiah neh anih koca rhoek khaw a boeinaphung hlai rhet lo.
19 and Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah, of the sons of Merari, and his brothers, and his sons, numbering twenty.
Hashabiah neh a taengkah a manuca Merari koca Isaiah. Te dongah amih koca te pakul lo.
20 And from the temple servants, whom David, and the leaders had provided for the ministry of the Levites, there were two hundred twenty temple servants. All these were called by their names.
Tamtaeng rhoek te khaw David neh mangpa rhoek loh Levi kah thothuengnah dongkah ham a paek. Tamtaeng boeih a ming neh yahnih pakul la mingpha ngawn.
21 And I proclaimed a fast in that place, beside the river Ahava, so that we might afflict ourselves in the sight of the Lord our God, and so that we might request of him the right way for us, and for our sons, and for all our substance.
Kaimih kah Pathen mikhmuh ah yalh sak ham neh amah te toem hamla, kaimih ham neh ka ca rhoek ham khaw, kaimih kah khuehtawn boeih ham longpuei thuem sak ham khaw, Ahava tuiva ah yaehnah pahoi ka doek.
22 For I was ashamed to petition the king for assistance and for horsemen, who would defend us from the enemy along the way. For we had said to the king: “The hand of our God is over all those who seek him in goodness. And his authority, and his strength and fury, is over all those who forsake him.”
Manghai taengah tah, 'Kaimih kah Pathen kut he amah aka tlap boeih soah then dae amah aka hnawt boeih soah a sarhi neh a thintoek om,” ka ti nah tih ka thui coeng dongah longpueng kah thunkha taeng lamloh kaimih aka bom la manghai taengah tatthai neh marhang caem bih ham ka yak.
23 And so we fasted and begged our God for this; and as a result, we prospered.
He ham he ka yaeh uh tangloeng tih ka Pathen taengah aka toem uh daengah kaimih he n'rhoi.
24 And I separated twelve from among the leaders of the priests: Sherebiah, and Hashabiah, and with them ten of their brothers.
Te vaengah khosoih mangpa rhoek lamkah te Sherebiah, Hashabiah neh hlai nit la ka hoep. Amih te a boeinaphung ah parha lo.
25 And I weighed out to them the silver and the gold, and the vessels consecrated to the house of our God, which had been offered by the king, and by his counselors and his leaders, and by all those of Israel who had been found.
Amih ham te cak neh sui khaw mah Pathen im kah khosaa hnopai te ka khiing khaw ka khiing pah coeng. Te te manghai neh a olrhoep rhoek loh, a mangpa rhoek neh Israel aka pumphoe boeih loh a tloeng uh.
26 And I weighed out to their hands six hundred fifty talents of silver, and one hundred vessels of silver, and one hundred talents of gold,
Amih kut ah cak talent rhui ya rhuk sawmnga, cakben hnopai talent yakhat, sui talent yakhat ka khiing pah.
27 and twenty gold bowls which had the weight of one thousand coins, and two vessels of the finest shining brass, as beautiful as gold.
Sui bael pakul, suitangka la thawngkhat lo. Rhohum hnopai cim khaw a rhaep la then tih sui bangla a naikap.
28 And I said to them: “You are the holy ones of the Lord, and the vessels are holy, with the silver and the gold, which has been offered freely to the Lord, the God of our fathers.
Te vaengah amih te, “Nangmih tah BOEIPA taengah hlangcim neh hmuencim hnopai ni. Cak neh sui khaw na pa rhoek kah Pathen BOEIPA taengkah kothoh paek coeng ni.
29 Watch and guard them, until you weigh them out before the leaders of the priests and the Levites, and the rulers of the families of Israel in Jerusalem, into the treasury of the house of the Lord.”
Jerusalem BOEIPA im, imkhan kah khosoih mangpa rhoek, Levi rhoek, Israel napa rhoek kah mangpa mikhmuh ah n'khiing hil hak uh lamtah ngaithuen uh,” ka ti nah.
30 Then the priests and the Levites received the weight of the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, so that they might carry these to Jerusalem, into the house of our God.
Te phoeiah tah khosoih rhoek neh Levi rhoek loh cak neh sui neh hnopai a khiing te Jerusalem ah kaimih kah PathenBOEIPA im la thak ham a doe uh.
31 Therefore, we set out from the river Ahava, on the twelfth day of the first month, so that we might travel to Jerusalem. And the hand of our God was over us, and he freed us from the hand of the enemy and of those who lay in ambush along the way.
Jerusalem la caeh ham te hla khat hnin hlai nit vaengah Ahava tuiva lamloh hlah uh. Te vaengah kaimih kah Pathen kut tah kaimih soah om tih kaimih he longpueng kah thunkha neh rhongngol kut lamloh n'huul.
32 And we arrived at Jerusalem, and we stayed there for three days.
Jerusalem ka pha uh van neh hnin thum pahoi ka duem uh.
33 Then, on the fourth day, the silver and the gold and the vessels were weighed out in the house of our God, by the hand of Meremoth, the son of Uriah, the priest; and with him was Eleazar, the son of Phinehas, and with them were the Levites, Jozabad, the son of Jeshua, and Noadiah, the son of Binnui.
A hnin li dongah tah ka Pathen im ah cak, sui neh hnopai te khosoih Uriah capa Meremoth kut dongla ka khiing pauh. Anih taengah Phinekha capa Eleazar, Jeshua capa Jozabad, Levi Binnui capa Noadiah khaw om.
34 This was done according to the number and weight of everything; and every weight was written down at that time.
A khiing boeih kah a tarhing neh te vaeng tue kah a khiing te boeih a thum sak.
35 Moreover, those who came from the captivity, the sons of the transmigration, offered holocausts to the God of Israel: twelve calves on behalf of all the people of Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, and twelve he-goats for sin. All these were a holocaust to the Lord.
Tamna lamkah aka mael vangsawn koca rhoek loh Israel Pathen taengah hmueihhlutnah a nawn uh. BOEIPA taengkah hmueihhlutnah boeih he Israel pum ham vaito hlai nit, tutal sawmko parhuk, tuca sawmrhih parhih, boirhaem maae tal hlai nit lo.
36 Then they gave the edicts of the king to the rulers who served in the sight of the king, and to the governors beyond the river, and they exalted the people and the house of God.
Manghai kah olkhan rhoek te manghai kah khoboei rhoek taeng neh tuiva rhalvangan kah rhalboei taengla a paek uh. Te dongah pilnam neh Pathen im te khaw a talong uh.
