Ezra 8
1 This is a list of the family leaders and genealogical records of those who came back with me from Babylon during the reign of King Artaxerxes:

14 From the sons of Bigvai, Uthai and Zaccur, and with them 70 men.
Bigvai koca lamloh Uthai, Zabud, Zakkuur neh a taengkah tongpa sawmrhih.
15 I gathered the returning exiles together at the Ahava Canal. We camped there for three days while I reviewed who had come—the ordinary people, the priests, and the Levites. I discovered there wasn't a single Levite
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 so I sent for Eliezer, Ariel, Shemaiah, Elnathan, Jarib, Elnathan, Nathan, Zechariah, and Meshullam, who were leaders, and for Joiarib and Elnathan, who were men with good insight.
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 I told them to go to Iddo, the leader of the Temple servants at Casiphia, asking him and his relatives to send us ministers for the Temple 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. Kaimih kah Pathen im ah aka thohtat te kaimih taengla hang khuen ham te Kasiphia hmuen kah tamtaeng rhoek a khueh.
18 Since our gracious God was with us, they brought us Sherebiah, a man with good insight from the sons of Mahli, son of Levi, son of Israel, together with his sons and brothers, a total of eighteen men;
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, along with Jeshaiah, from the sons of Merari, and his brothers and their sons, a total of twenty men.
Hashabiah neh a taengkah a manuca Merari koca Isaiah. Te dongah amih koca te pakul lo.
20 In addition they brought 220 of the Temple servants, a group appointed by David and his officials to help the Levites. These were all registered by name.
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 At the Ahava Canal I called for a fast so we could confess our sins before God and ask him for a safe journey for us and our children, along with all our possessions.
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 I had been reluctant to ask the king to give us a military escort to protect us from enemies on the way. We had told the king, “Our gracious God takes care of everyone who follows him, but shows his anger against anyone who abandons 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 So we fasted and asked God to protect us, and he answered our prayers.
He ham he ka yaeh uh tangloeng tih ka Pathen taengah aka toem uh daengah kaimih he n'rhoi.
24 Then I designated twelve of the leading priests, and Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and 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 and handed them the donations of silver and gold, and the items that the king, his counselors, his leaders, and all the people of Israel there had given for the Temple of our God.
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 I weighed out and placed in their hands 650 talents of silver, silver Temple items weighing 100 talents, 100 talents of gold,
Amih kut ah cak talent rhui ya rhuk sawmnga, cakben hnopai talent yakhat, sui talent yakhat ka khiing pah.
27 20 gold bowls worth 1,000 darics, and two articles of highly-polished bronze, as valuable as gold.
Sui bael pakul, suitangka la thawngkhat lo. Rhohum hnopai cim khaw a rhaep la then tih sui bangla a naikap.
28 I told them, “You are set apart for the Lord, and these Temple items are too. The silver and gold are a voluntary offering to the Lord, the God of your forefathers.
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 You are to guard them and keep them safe until you hand them over, weighing them before the high priests, the Levites and the family leaders in Israel at Jerusalem, in the treasury rooms within the Lord's Temple.”
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 The priests and Levites took responsibility for the silver and gold and the Temple items that had been weighed out to be brought to the Temple of our God in Jerusalem.
Te phoeiah tah khosoih rhoek neh Levi rhoek loh cak neh sui neh hnopai a khiing te Jerusalem ah kaimih kah Pathen BOEIPA im la thak ham a doe uh.
31 On the twelfth day of the first month, we left the Ahava Canal to go to Jerusalem, and our God was with us to protect us from enemy ambushes 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 Eventually we arrived in Jerusalem and rested there for three days.
Jerusalem ka pha uh van neh hnin thum pahoi ka duem uh.
33 On the fourth day the silver and the gold and the Temple items were weighed out in the Temple of our God and handed over to Meremoth, son of Uriah the priest, accompanied by Eleazar, son of Phinehas. Also present were the Levites, Jozabad, son of Jeshua, and Noadiah, 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 pa uh. Anih taengah Phinekha capa Eleazar, Jeshua capa Jozabad, Levi Binnui capa Noadiah khaw om.
34 Everything was checked, both by number and weight, and the total weight was written down at the time.
A khiing boeih kah a tarhing neh te vaeng tue kah a khiing te boeih a thum sak.
35 Then the exiles who had returned from captivity sacrificed burnt offerings to the God of Israel—twelve bulls for all of Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, and a sin offering of twelve goats. All were sacrificed as a burnt offering 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 They also delivered the king's decrees to the chief officers of the king and the governors of the province west of the Euphrates, who then provided assistance to the people and to God's Temple.
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.
