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:

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
Keiman sohchanga konna hungdoh hochu Ahava canal munnah kakhomin hichea chun nithum kageh un, hichea chun keiman mipiho toh thempu hichelai mun hung lhung hochu kakhol in ahileh Levi te khatcha jong ahung pangpoi ti keiman kamudoh in ahi.
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.
Hijeh chun keiman alamkai hou Eliezer, Ariel, Shemiah, Elnathan, Jarib, Nathan, Elnathan, Zechariah leh Meshullam kaga koush in, chuleh Joiarib leh Elnathan jong kakousah in ahi, ajeh chu amani hi thumop them ahilhone.
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.
Chuleh keiman Casiphia mun aum Levite lamkai Iddo komma chun mi kasolin amite ainsung mite leh Houin lhachaho komma chu Jerusalem ma Pathen houin lhacha sunga lhacha a pang ding mi ahinsol diuvin, ngehna nei ding in kasoltai.
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;
Ka Pathen u khotona khut chun eipuihoi jeh un, amahon Sherebiah kitipa achate le asopite somle get eihin solpeh un ahi. Amachu Israel chapa Levi chilhah ho lah a Mahli chilhah minasatah khat ahi.
19 and Hashabiah, along with Jeshaiah, from the sons of Merari, and his brothers and their sons, a total of twenty men.
Amahon Merari chilhah holah a kon’in Hashabiah chule Jeshaiah toh ahinsol thauvin chuleh achate le asopite somni jong ahin sollun chuleh
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.
Houin lhacha jani le somni jong ahin sol thauvin ahi.
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.
Hichun hichelai Ahava twilam mun’ah hin ka Pathen’u angsung’ah eyhole keiho kisunem tah a kabon chauva an-ngolla taoding in thupeh kaneijin ahi. Hiche kataonao chu ahileh, kakholjin naova hi keihole kachateo chuleh kathilkeo hotoh eipuihoi nadiuvin kataovun ahi.
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.”
Ajeh chu keiman lampi dung’a melmate a konna eihongbit diuva lengpa komma sepai leh sakol chungtou sepai thum ding chu jachat um kasan ahi. Ajeh chu keiman lengpa komma chun, “Ka Pathen’u hin ama houte chu abanthahat’in ahongbit nin, amavang ama donlouva koite vang alunghanna hoisetah chun asugim jin ahi,” tia kana seidoh tan ahi.
23 So we fasted and asked God to protect us, and he answered our prayers.
Hijeh chun keihon ka Pathen’un kataonao sana eihoi bitna diuvin an-ngol pummin lunggil tah in kataovun ahileh aman kataonao eisanpeh un ahi.
24 Then I designated twelve of the leading priests, and Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brothers,
Keiman thempu lah a kon’in lamkai somleni Sherebiah leh Hoshabiah chuleh thempu dang som chu kalhengdoh in mopohna panmun kanapen ahi.
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.
Ama hochun sana, dangka, sana khon holeh thilkeo dangho toh lengpa le a athumop them a vaihom hon Pathen houin na koiding’a ahin pehdoh uchu polut ding kapedoh tan ahi.
26 I weighed out and placed in their hands 650 talents of silver, silver Temple items weighing 100 talents, 100 talents of gold,
Keiman hiche thillu hochu kapeh dohtoh kilhon’in, ka tetoh in ahileh hijat hi alhing in ahi: Dangka ton somni le li, Dangka a kisem thilkeo ho pound sangsagi le ja nga, sana pound sangsagi le ja nga,
27 20 gold bowls worth 1,000 darics, and two articles of highly-polished bronze, as valuable as gold.
sana a kisem khon somni hichu Sana sum pum sangkhat toh aman kibang chuleh sana mantamtah toh kibang sum-eng kilha ngimsella kisem thil ni hicheng hi ahi.
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.
Keiman hiche thempuho komma chun: “Nangho leh hiche thilmanlu hohi Pakaiya dinga athenga kipedoh a nahi taove, hiche dangka le sana hohi ipu ipateu Pakai Pathen a dinga hung kikatdoh ahitai.
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.”
Hiche thillu hohi thempu holeh Leviho chuleh Israel lamkaiho khut a napehlut tokah un, phatah in chingtup un, amahon Jerusalem’a Pakai houin'a akoina munna akoi tengu leh phatah a atetoh diu ahi,” ati peh in ahi.
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.
Hiti chun thempuho leh Levite chun Jerusalem houin'a Pakai thilkoina munna hiche thillu sanale dangka hochu pohlut nadinga mopohna chu ladingin anom taovin ahi.
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.
Lha masapen, nisom le ni ni lhin nin, keihon Ahava twilam munchu kadalha taovin ahi. Chuleh Pathen mikhotona khut chun lamlhon lhungin melma holeh michomho khutna kon’in eihoidoh sah un ahi.
32 Eventually we arrived in Jerusalem and rested there for three days.
Hiti chun Jerusalem chu damsel le bit kei chan kaga lhungun hichea chun nithum kakicholdo uvin ahi.
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.
Kagalhun jou’u ani li channa in sana le dangka chuleh adang thillu ho jouse ka Pathen’u Houin nah hoitah in katetoh un, Uriah thempupa chapa Meremoth leh Phinehas chapa Eleazer toh Levi mi Jeshua chapa Jozabad chule Binnui chapa Noadiah kom ah pehlut nale nganse na akinei tan ahi.
34 Everything was checked, both by number and weight, and the total weight was written down at the time.
Thiljouse chu ajatle agih jatchu aki tetoh soh keijin hicheng chu agihna jat pumpin kivaipohna dungjui in hoitah in akijihlut in ahi.
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.
Hijouchun sohchanna a konna hungpotdoh ho cheng chun Israel Pathen’ah pumgo thilto akibolin ahi. Hiti chun amahon Israel Pathen’ah Israel pumpi dingin bongchal somle ni, kelngoi chal somko le gup leh kelngoi ja sagi le som sagi akatdoh un ahi. Amahon chonset thoidamna dingin kelchal somle ni jong akatdoh un ahi. Hiche ho jousehi Pakai komma pumgo thilto kin bolnan aneiyun ahi.
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.
Lengpa thupeh chu Euphrates vadung lhumlam gamkaija gamvaipo pa leh vaihom lenpen ho jouse kommah akithot lut sohkeijin, hijeh amaho chun akithopi soh keiyun ahi.
