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.
Irezao ro mpiaolon-droae naho ty fiantoño’ o nindre amako boak’ am-pifehea’ i Artaksastà mpanjaka, nionjomb’eo boake Baveleo:
2 Of the children of Phinehas, Gershom; of the children of Ithamar, Daniel; of the children of David, Hattush;
Tamo ana’ i Pinekaseo: i Gersome; amo ana’ Itamareo, i Daniele; tamo ana’ i Davideo, i Hatose.
3 of the children of Shecaniah, of the children of Parosh, Zechariah, and with him were registered by genealogy of the males a hundred and fifty.

14 And of the children of Bigvai, Uthai and Zabbud, and with them seventy males.
Le tamo ana’ i Bigvaio, i Otay naho i Zakore, reketse ty lahilahy fitompolo.
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.
Le hene natontoko amy saka mivariñe mb’e Ahava mb’eoy; naho nitobe eo telo andro, nisary ondatio naho o mpisoroñeo fe leo raik’ amo nte-Levio tsy nizoeñe ao.
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.
Aa le tinokako t’i Eliezere, i Ariele, i Semaià naho i Elnatane naho Iaribe naho i Elnatane naho i Natane naho i Zekarià naho i Mesolame, mpiaolo; naho Ioiaribe vaho i Elnatane, mpañoke.
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.
Le nafantoko am’iareo ty homb’ amy Ido mpiaolo mb’an-toetse atao Kasifia naho vinolako am’iereo ty ho asa’ iareo amy Ido naho amo rahalahi’e mitoroñe an-toe’ i Kasifiao, ty hinday mpitoroñe mb’amy anjomban’ Añaharey.
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;
Aa ty am-pitàn-tsoan’ Añahare’ay ama’ay le nandesa’ iareo ondaty mahihitse, ty ana’ i Maklý, ana’ i Levy, ana’ Israele, toe i Serebià rekets’ o ana’eo naho o rahalahi’eo, folo-valo’ amby;
19 and Hashabiah, and with him Isaiah of the sons of Merari, his brethren and their sons, twenty;
naho i Kasabià; le nindre ama’e t’Iesaià tamo ana’ i Merario, o rahalahy naho ana-dahi’ iareoo, roapolo;
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.
vaho tamo nte-Natoneo, o natolo’ i Davide naho o roandriañeo am-pitoroñañe o nte-Levio; nte-Natone roan-jato-tsi-roapolo songa tinoñoñe amy tahina’ey.
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.
Aa le nitsey fililiran-draho an-tsaka Ahavà eo, hiambanea’ay añatrefan’ Añahare’ay, hipay ama’e ty lalan-tsoa ho anay naho o keleia’aio vaho o vara’ay iabio.
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 ho nisalatse iraho te nihalaly firimboñan-dahindefoñe naho mpiningi-tsoavala amy mpanjakay, hañolora’e anay amo malaso an-dalañeo; ie fa nisaontsy amy mpanjakay, ty hoe: Ty fitàn’ Añahare’ay ro amo mipay aze iabio ho an-kasoa; fe atreatré’e an-kaozarañe naho an-kaviñerañe o mamorintseñe azeo.
23 And we fasted, and besought our God for this; and he was entreated of us.
Aa le ie ty nililira’ay te nitsoek’ an’ Andrianañahare’ay; vaho vinale’e i halali’aiy.
24 And I separated twelve of the chiefs of the priests, Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brethren with them,
Aa le navìko ty mpiaolom-pisoroñe folo-ro’amby—i Serebià naho i Kasabià vaho ty folo amo longo’ iareoo.
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.
Le linanjako am’ iereo i volafotiy naho i volamenay naho o fanakeo, i nengae’ i mpanjakay naho o mpanolo-keve’eo naho o roandria’eo naho o nte-Israele teo iabio, amy anjomban’ Añahare’aiy.
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;
Eka, linanjako am-pità’ iareo ty volafoty talenta enen-jato-tsi-limampolo naho ty fanake volafoty talenta zato naho ty volamena talenta zato;
27 and twenty basons of gold, of a thousand darics; and two vessels of shining copper, precious as gold.
naho koveta volamena roapolo, vilin-drala arivo; naho fanake roe an-torisike mikinokinoke, mañeva 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.
Le hoe ty asako am’ iereo, Miavake ho amy Iehovà nahareo, miavake ka o fanakeo; vaho nengaeñe an-tsatrin’ arofo am’ Iehovà Andrianañaharen-droae’ areo i volafotiy naho i volamenay.
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.
Ijilovo naho ambeno ampara’ t’ie lanjae’ areo amo mpiaolom-pisoroñeo naho amo nte-Levio naho amo roandrian’ anjomban-droae’ Israeleo e Ierosalaime añ’efen’ anjomba’ Iehovà ao.
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.
Aa le rinambe’ i mpisoroñe naho nte-Levy rey i volafoty naho volamena linanjay naho o fanakeo hendesa’ iareo mb’e Ierosalaime añe mb’añ’ anjomban’ Añahare’ay mb’eo.
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.
Aa le nienga i saka Ahavay zahay amy andro faha folo-ro’ambi’ i volam-baloha’eiy nionjone mb’e Ierosalaime mb’eo; naho tama’ay ty fitàn’Añahare’ay vaho rinomba’e am-pitàn-drafelahi’ay naho amy ze niampitse an-dalañe,
32 And we came to Jerusalem, and abode there three days.
le nivotrake e Ierosalaime ao vaho nitofa telo andro.
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:
Ie amy andro fahefatsey le nandanja i volafotiy naho i volamenay naho o fanakeo, añ’anjomban’ Añahare’ay am-pità’ i Meremote, ana’ i Orià mpisoroñe; nindre tama’e t’i Elazare, ana’ i Pinekase; le nimpiama’ iareo t’Iozabade ana’ Iesoà naho i Noadià, ana’ i Binoy, songa nte-Levy;
34 the whole by number and by weight; and all the weight was written down at that time.
ie iaby ami’ty ia’e naho an-danja’e; le sinokitse henane zay iaby i lanja’ey.
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.
Nañenga soroñe aman’ Añahare’ Israele o anam-pandrohizañe niboak’ am-paneseañeo, bania folo-ro’amby ho a Israele iaby, añondrilahy sivampolo-eneñ’ amby, vik’añondry fitompolo-fito’ amby vaho oselahy folo-ro’amby ho engan-kakeo; hene nisoroñañe am’ Iehovà.
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.
Le natolo’ iareo amo mpizaka’ i mpanjakaio naho amo mpifehe alafe’ i Sakaio i nampañitrifañey, vaho nimbae’ iereo ondatio naho i anjomban’ Añaharey.
