Ezra 8
1 Now these are the chiefs of families, and the genealogy of them, who came up with me from Babylon in the reign of Artaxerxes the king.

14 Of the sons of Begui, Uthai and Zachur, and with them seventy men.
na kuuma njiaro cia Bigivai, maarĩ Uthai na Zakuri, hamwe na andũ angĩ 70.
15 And I gathered them together to the river, which runneth down to Ahava, and we stayed there three days: and I sought among the people and among the priests for the sons of Levi, and found none there.
Nĩndamacookanĩrĩirie hamwe rũũĩ-inĩ rũrĩa rũthereraga rũrorete Ahava, na tũgĩikara hau mĩthenya ĩtatũ. Na rĩrĩ, rĩrĩa ndarorire gatagatĩ-inĩ ka andũ acio na athĩnjĩri-Ngai, ndionire Alawii ho.
16 So I sent Eliezer, and Ariel, and Semeias, and Elnathan, and Jarib, and another Elnathan, and Nathan, and Zacharias, and Mosollam, chief men: and Joiarib, and Elnathan, wise men.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩtũmanĩra Eliezeri, na Arieli, na Shemaia, na Elinathani, na Jaribu, na Elinathani, na Nathani, na Zekaria, na Meshulamu arĩa maarĩ atongoria, na Joiaribu na Elinathani, andũ arĩa maarĩ arutani,
17 And I sent them to Eddo, who is chief in the place of Chasphia, and I put in their mouth the words that they should speak to Eddo, and his brethren the Nathinites in the place of Chasphia, that they should bring us ministers of the house of our God.
ngĩmatũma kũrĩ Ido mũtongoria wa Kasifia. Ngĩmeera ũrĩa megũthiĩ kwĩra Ido na andũ a nyũmba yake, acio ndungata cia hekarũ kũu Kasifia, nĩguo matũrehere aruti a wĩra wa nyũmba ya Ngai witũ.
18 And by the good hand of our God upon us, they brought us a most learned man of the sons of Moholi the son of Levi the son of Israel, and Sarabias and his sons, and his brethren eighteen,
Na tondũ guoko kwa ũtugi kwa Ngai witũ kwarĩ hamwe na ithuĩ-rĩ, magĩtũrehere Sherebia, mũndũ mũhoti wa kuuma njiaro cia Mahili mũrũ wa Lawi, ũrĩa warĩ mũrũ wa Isiraeli, na ariũ a Sherebia na ariũ a ithe, othe maarĩ andũ 18;
19 And Hasabias, and with him Isaias of the sons of Merari, and his brethren, and his sons twenty.
Na makĩrehe Hashabia hamwe na Jeshaia wa kuuma njiaro cia Merari, na ariũ a ithe na ciana ciao, othe andũ 20.
20 And of the Nathinites, whom David, and the princes gave for the service of the Levites, Nathinites two hundred and twenty: all these were called by their names.
Ningĩ makĩrehe andũ ndungata 220 cia hekarũ, gĩkundi gĩathondeketwo nĩ Daudi na anene ake nĩguo gĩteithagĩrĩrie Alawii. Othe makĩandĩkwo na marĩĩtwa mao.
21 And I proclaimed there a fast by the river Ahava, that we might afflict ourselves before the Lord our God, and might ask of him a right way for us and for our children, and for all our substance.
Tũrĩ o hau rũũĩ-inĩ rwa Ahava, ngĩanĩrĩra twĩhinge kũrĩa irio, nĩguo tũhote kwĩnyiihia mbere ya Ngai witũ tũmũhooe atũgitĩre rũgendo-inĩ, ithuĩ na ciana ciitũ, hamwe na indo ciitũ ciothe.
22 For I was ashamed to ask the king for aid and for horsemen, to defend us from the enemy in the way: because we had said to the king: The hand of our God is upon all them that seek him in goodness: and his power and strength, and wrath upon all them that forsake him.
Nĩndaiguire thoni kũũria mũthamaki atũhe thigari cia magũrũ o na iria ithiiaga ihaicĩte mbarathi cia gũtũgitĩra harĩ thũ njĩra-inĩ, tondũ nĩtwerĩte mũthamaki atĩrĩ, “Guoko kwa ũtugi kwa Ngai witũ kũrĩ igũrũ rĩa mũndũ o wothe ũrĩa ũmwĩhokaga, no marakara make manene marĩ igũrũ rĩa arĩa othe mamũtiganagĩria.”
23 And we fasted, and besought our God for this: and it fell out prosperously unto us.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio tũkĩĩhinga kũrĩa irio na tũgĩthaitha Ngai witũ nĩ ũndũ wa ũhoro ũcio, nake agĩcookia ihooya riitũ.
24 And I separated twelve of the chief of the priests, Sarabias, and Hasabias, and with them ten of their brethren,
Ningĩ ngĩamũra athĩnjĩri-Ngai ikũmi na eerĩ arĩa maarĩ atongoria, hamwe na Sherebia, na Hashabia, na ariũ a ithe wao ikũmi,
25 And I weighed unto them the silver and gold, and the vessels consecrated for the house of our God, which the king and his counsellors, and his princes, and all Israel, that were found had offered.
na ngĩmathimĩra maruta ma betha na thahabu, na indo iria ciaheanĩtwo nĩ mũthamaki, na ataari ake, na anene ake, na andũ othe a Isiraeli arĩa maarĩ kuo, nĩ ũndũ wa nyũmba ya Ngai witũ.
26 And I weighed to their hands six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and a hundred vessels of silver, and a hundred talents of gold,
Ngĩmathimĩra taranda 650 cia betha, na indo cia betha cia ũritũ wa taranda igana rĩmwe, na taranda igana rĩmwe cia thahabu,
27 And twenty cups of gold, of a thousand solids, and two vessels of the best shining brass, beautiful as gold.
na mbakũri 20 cia thahabu cia thogora wa mbaũni 1,000, na indo igĩrĩ cia gĩcango gĩtherie mũno kĩa goro o ta thahabu.
28 And I said to them: You are the holy ones of the Lord, and the vessels are holy, and the silver and gold, that is freely offered to the Lord the God of our fathers.
Ngĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ o ũndũ ũmwe na indo ici nĩ mwamũrĩirwo Jehova. Betha na thahabu ici nĩ maruta ma kwĩyendera marutĩirwo Jehova Ngai wa maithe manyu.
29 Watch ye and beep them, till you deliver them by weight before the chief of the priests, and of the Levites, and the heads of the families of Israel in Jerusalem, into the treasure of the house of the Lord.
Mũcimenyerere wega o nginya rĩrĩa mũgaacithimĩra tũnyũmba-inĩ tũrĩa tũrĩ thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ya Jehova kũu Jerusalemu mbere ya athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa atongoria, na Alawii, na atongoria a nyũmba cia Isiraeli.”
30 And the priests and the Levites received the weight of the silver and gold, and the vessels, to carry them to Jerusalem to the house of our God.
Nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai na Alawii makĩamũkĩra betha na thahabu, na indo icio nyamũre iria ciathimĩtwo nĩguo itwarwo nyũmba ya Ngai witũ kũu Jerusalemu.
31 Then we set forward from the river Ahava on the twelfth day of the first month to go to Jerusalem: and the hand of our God was upon us, and delivered us from the hand of the enemy, and of such as lay in wait by the way.
Na mũthenya wa ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ mweri wa mbere tũkiuma rũũĩ-inĩ rwa Ahava twerekeire Jerusalemu. Guoko kwa Ngai witũ kwarĩ hamwe na ithuĩ, nake agĩtũgitĩra kuuma kũrĩ thũ na njangiri njĩra-inĩ.
32 And we came to Jerusalem, and we stayed there three days.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio tũgĩkinya Jerusalemu, na tũkĩhurũka kuo mĩthenya ĩtatũ.
33 And on the fourth day the silver and the gold, and the vessels were weighed in the house of our God by the hand of Meremoth the son of Urias the priest, and with him was Eleazar the son of Phinees, and with them Jozabad the son of Josue, and Noadaia the son of Benoi, Levites.
Mũthenya wa kana, tũrĩ thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ya Ngai witũ, tũgĩthima betha na thahabu na indo iria nyamũre ikĩneanwo moko-inĩ ma Meremothu mũrũ wa Uria, ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai. Eleazaru mũrũ wa Finehasi aarĩ hamwe nake, o ũndũ ũmwe na Jozabadu mũrũ wa Jeshua, na Noadia mũrũ wa Binui, arĩa Alawii.
34 According to the number and weight of every thing: and all the weight was written at that time.
Indo ciothe nĩciatarirwo kũringana na mũigana na ũritũ wacio, naguo ũritũ wacio ũrĩ wothe ũkĩandĩkwo o hĩndĩ ĩyo.
35 Moreover the children of them that had been carried away that were come out of the captivity, offered holocausts to the God of Israel, twelve calves for all the people of Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, and twelve he goats for sin: all for a holocaust to the Lord.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo arĩa maacookete kuuma kũrĩa maatahĩirwo makĩrutĩra Ngai wa Isiraeli maruta ma njino: makĩruta ndegwa ikũmi na igĩrĩ nĩ ũndũ wa andũ a Isiraeli othe, na ndũrũme mĩrongo kenda na ithathatũ, na tũtũrũme mĩrongo mũgwanja na mũgwanja, na makĩruta thenge ikũmi na igĩrĩ irĩ iruta rĩa kũhoroheria mehia. Ici ciothe ciarutĩirwo Jehova irĩ iruta rĩa njino.
36 And they gave the king’s edicts to the lords that were from the king’s court, and the governors beyond the river, and they furthered the people and the house of God.
Magĩcooka magĩtwara mawatho ma mũthamaki kũrĩ anene arĩa maathuurĩtwo nĩ mũthamaki, na kũrĩ mabarũthi ma Mũrĩmo-wa-Farati, nao magĩteithia andũ na magĩteithĩrĩria maũndũ ma nyũmba ya Ngai.
