< Ezra 8 >

1 And these are the chief fathers, and their genealogy, who went up with me from Babylon in the reign of Artaxerxes the king.
Ary izao no lohan’ ny fianakaviana sy filazana ny firazanan’ ny olona izay niara-niakatra tamiko avy tany Babylona tamin’ ny nanjakan’ i Artaksersesy mpanjaka:

6 And of the children of Adin, Ebed the son of Jonathan, and with him fifty males.

9 Of the children of Joab, Obadiah the son of Jehiel, and with him two hundred and eighteen males.

10 And of the children of Shelomith, the son of Josiphiah, and with him a hundred and sixty males.
ny zanak’ i Josifia, avy tamin’ ny taranak’ i Selomita, mbamin’ ny namany enim-polo amby zato lahy;
11 And of the children of Bebai, Zechariah the son of Bebai, and with him twenty-eight males.

13 And of the children of Adonikam, the last ones, whose names are these: Eliphelet, Jeiel, and Shemaiah, and with them sixty males.
ary ny avy tamin’ ny taranak’ i Adonikama, zandriny taoriana ireo, ary izao no anarany: Elifeleta sy Jeiela sy Semaia mbamin’ ny namany enim-polo lahy,
14 And of the children of Bigvai, Uthai and Zabbud, and with them seventy males.
Otahy sy Zaboda, avy tamin’ ny taranak’ i Bigvay, mbamin’ ny namany fito-polo lahy.
15 And I gathered them together at the river that runs to Ahava; and there we encamped three days; and I surveyed the people and the priests, and found none of the sons of Levi there.
Ary novoriko teo amoron’ ny ony mankany Ahava izy, ka nilasy teo hateloana izahay; ary nony nandinika ny olona sy ny mpisorona aho, dia nahita fa tsy nisy taranak’ i Levy teo na dia iray akory aza.
16 And I sent for Eliezer, for Ariel, for Shemaiah, and for Elnathan, and for Jarib, and for Elnathan, and for Nathan, and for Zechariah, and for Meshullam, chief men, and for Joiarib and for Elnathan, men of understanding.
Ka dia nirahiko Eliezera sy Ariela sy Semaia sy Elnatana sy Jariba sy Elnatana sy Natana sy Zakaria sy Mesolama (samy loholona ireo) ary Joariba sy Elnatana (samy mpampianatra ireo).
17 And I gave them a commission to Iddo the chief, at the place Casiphia, and I put words in their mouths to say to Iddo [and] his brethren the Nethinim, at the place Casiphia, that they should bring to us ministers for the house of our God.
Ary nampitondraiko teny ho any amin’ Ido, loholona any Kasifia, ireo, ka nambarako azy izay teny holazainy amin’ Ido sy ny Netinima rahalahiny any Kasifia, mba ho entiny any aminay izay ho mpanao fanompoam-pivavahana ao an-tranon’ Andriamanitray.
18 And by the good hand of our God upon us, they brought us a man of understanding, of the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel, namely, Sherebiah, with his sons and his brethren, eighteen;
Ary araka ny soa nataon’ ny tànan’ Andriamanitray taminay no nitondrany olon-kendry anankiray ho any aminay avy tamin’ ny taranak’ i Maly, zanak’ i Levy, zanak’ Isiraely, ary Serebia, sy ny zanany mbamin’ ny rahalahiny, valo ambin’ ny folo lahy,
19 and Hashabiah, and with him Isaiah of the sons of Merari, his brethren and their sons, twenty;
ary Hasabia sy Jesaia, avy tamin’ ny taranak’ i Merary, mbamin’ ny rahalahiny ary ny zanany roa-polo lahy;
20 and of the Nethinim, whom David and the princes had appointed for the service of the Levites, two hundred and twenty Nethinim: all of them were expressed by name.
ary avy tamin’ ny Netinima, izay notendren’ i Davida sy ny mpanapaka hanompo ny Levita, dia roa-polo amby roan-jato lahy; notononina anarana avokoa ireo.
21 And I proclaimed a fast there, at the river Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God, to seek of him a right way for us, and for our little ones, and for all our substance.
Dia niantso andro fifadian-kanina aho teo amoron’ ny ony Ahava hampahorianay tena eo anatrehan’ Andriamanitray, mba hangataka Azy hahalavorary ny dianay sy ny an’ ny vady aman-janakay ary ny biby fiompinay rehetra.
22 For I was ashamed to require of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way; for we had spoken to the king saying, The hand of our God is upon all them for good that seek him; but his power and his anger is against all them that forsake him.
Fa nahamenatra ahy ny hangataka miaramila sy mpitaingin-tsoavaly amin’ ny mpanjaka hiaro anay amin’ ny fahavalonay eny an-dalana, satria efa niteny tamin’ ny mpanjaka izahay ka nanao hoe: Sy tànan’ Andriamanitray mahasoa izay rehetra mitady Azy; fa ny heriny sy ny fahatezerany kosa mamely izay rehetra mahafoy Azy.
23 And we fasted, and besought our God for this; and he was entreated of us.
Ary nifady hanina izahay ka nangataka izany tamin’ Andriamanitray, dia nihaino anay Izy.
24 And I separated twelve of the chiefs of the priests, Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brethren with them,
Ary nanokana roa ambin’ ny folo lahy tamin’ ny lohan’ ny mpisorona aho, dia Serebia sy Hasabia ary rahalahiny folo lahy ho namany,
25 and I weighed to them the silver and the gold and the vessels, the heave-offering for the house of our God, which the king and his counsellors and his princes, and all Israel present, had offered.
ka nolanjaiko ny volafotsy sy ny volamena horaisiny mbamin’ ny fanaka, dia ny fanatitra ho ao an-tranon’ Andriamanitray, izay efa naterin’ ny mpanjaka sy ireo mpanolotsainy sy ireo mpanapaka ary ny Isiraely rehetra izay vory teo;
26 And I weighed into their hand six hundred and fifty talents of silver; and silver vessels a hundred talents, [and] of gold a hundred talents;
eny, nolanjaiko hatolotra azy ny talenta volafotsy dimam-polo amby enin-jato sy fanaka volafotsy, lanjan’ ny talenta zato, ary talenta volamena zato
27 and twenty basons of gold, of a thousand darics; and two vessels of shining copper, precious as gold.
sy kapoaka volamena misarona roa-polo, lanjan’ ny darika arivo, ary fanaka varahina roa manganohano, tsara toy ny volamena.
28 And I said to them, Ye are holy unto Jehovah; the vessels also are holy; and the silver and the gold is a voluntary offering to Jehovah the God of your fathers.
Ary hoy izaho taminy: Hianareo dia masìna ho an’ i Jehovah, sady masìna koa ny fanaka; ary ny volafotsy sy ny volamena dia fanati-tsitrapo ho an’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razanareo.
29 Watch and keep [them] until ye weigh them before the chiefs of the priests and the Levites, and the chiefs of the fathers of Israel, at Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of Jehovah.
Koa miambena ianareo, ka tandremo ireny mandra-pandanianareo azy indray eo anatrehan’ ny lohan’ ny mpisorona sy ny Levita ary ny lohan’ ny fianakaviana amin’ ny Isiraely any Jerosalema, dia amin’ ny efi-trano ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah.
30 And the priests and the Levites received by weight the silver and the gold and the vessels, to bring them to Jerusalem unto the house of our God.
Dia noraisin’ ny mpisorona sy ny Levita izany volafotsy sy volamena ary fanaka voalanja izany mba ho entiny ho any Jerosalema ho ao an-tranon’ Andriamanitray.
31 And we departed from the river Ahava on the twelfth of the first month, to go to Jerusalem; and the hand of our God was upon us, and he delivered us from the hand of the enemy, and of such as lay in wait by the way.
Dia niala teo amin’ ny ony Ahava izahay tamin’ ny andro faharoa ambin’ ny folo tamin’ ny volana voalohany mba hankany Jerosalema; ary ny tànan’ Andriamanitray nomba anay, ka Izy no namonjy anay tamin’ ny tanan’ ny fahavalo sy ny mpanotrika teny an-dalana.
32 And we came to Jerusalem, and abode there three days.
Ary nony tonga tany Jerosalema izahay, dia nijanona hateloana aloha.
33 And on the fourth day the silver and the gold and the vessels were weighed in the house of our God into the hand of Meremoth the son of Urijah the priest; and with him was Eleazar the son of Phinehas; and with them were Jozabad the son of Jeshua, and Noadiah the son of Binnui, Levites:
Ary tamin’ ny andro fahefatra no nandanjana ny volafotsy sy ny volamena ary ny fanaka ho eo an-tànan’ i Meremota, zanak’ i Oria mpisorona, tao an-tranon’ Andriamanitray; ary teo aminy koa Eleazara, zanak’ i Finehasa; ary teo amin’ izy roa lahy koa Jozabada, zanak’ i Jesoa, sy Noadia, zanak’ i Binoy; Levita izy roa lahy ireo;
34 the whole by number and by weight; and all the weight was written down at that time.
an-isany sy an-danjany izany rehetra izany; ary voasoratra tamin’ izany andro izany ny lanjany rehetra.
35 The children of those that had been carried away, who had come out of the captivity, presented burnt-offerings to the God of Israel, twelve bullocks for all Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, twelve he-goats for a sin-offering: all for a burnt-offering to Jehovah.
Ary ny olona izay niverina avy tamin’ ny fahababoana dia nanatitra fanatitra dorana ho an’ Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, dia vantotr’ ombilahy roa ambin’ ny folo ho an’ ny Isiraely rehetra sy ondrilahy enina amby sivifolo sy zanak’ ondry fito amby fito-polo ary osilahy roa ambin’ ny folo ho fanatitra noho ny ota: fanatitra dorana ho an’ i Jehovah ireo rehetra ireo.
36 And they delivered the king's edicts to the king's satraps, and to the governors on this side the river. And they furthered the people and the house of God.
Ary ny didin’ ny mpanjaka dia natolony tamin’ ny solo-mpanjaka sy ny mpanapaka tamin’ ny etỳ an-dafin’ ny ony etỳ; ary izy ireo nampandroso ny olona sy ny tranon’ Andriamanitra.
