Ezra 8
1 And these [are] heads of their fathers, and the genealogy of those going up with me, in the reign of Artaxerxes the king, from Babylon.
Ndị a bụ usoro ọmụmụ ndịisi ezinaụlọ ahụ niile sooro m site na Babilọn laghachi mgbe Ataksekses bụ eze:

13 And from the younger sons of Adonikam—and these [are] their names—Eliphelet, Jeiel, and Shemaiah, and with them sixty who are males.
Ndị sitere nʼikwu Adonikam, ndị ikpeazụ, ndị aha ha bụ Elifelet, na Jeuel na Shemaya na iri ndị ikom isii bụ ndị so ha,
14 And from the sons of Bigvai, Uthai and Zabbud, and with them seventy who are males.
ndị sitere nʼikwu Bigvai, Utai na Zakua na iri ndị ikom asaa bụ ndị so ha.
15 And I gather them to the river that is going to Ahava, and we encamp there three days; and I consider about the people, and about the priests, and of the sons of Levi I have found none there;
Akpọkọtara m ha nʼakụkụ osimiri na-erubanye nʼAhava, anyị nọrọ nʼebe ahụ ụbọchị atọ. Mgbe m leruru anya nʼetiti ndị mmadụ zukọrọnụ, ha na ndị nchụaja bịara, a chọpụtara m na o nweghị ọ bụladị otu onye Livayị nọ nʼebe ahụ.
16 and I send for Eliezer, for Ariel, for Shemaiah, and for Elnathan, and for Jarib, and for Elnathan, and for Nathan, and for Zechariah, and for Meshullam, heads, and for Joiarib, and for Elnathan, men of understanding;
Mgbe ahụ, ezigara m ozi kpọọ Elieza, Ariel, Shemaya, Elnatan, Jarib, Elnatan, Netan, Zekaraya na Meshulam, ndị bụ ndịisi. Ezikwara m ozi kpọọ Joiarib na Elnatan, bụ ndị maara ihe.
17 and I charge them for Iddo the head, in the place Casiphia, and put in their mouth words to speak to Iddo, [and] his brothers the Nethinim, in the place Casiphia, to bring to us servants for the house of our God.
Enyere m ha iwu ka ha gakwuru Ido, onyendu nọ na Kasifia. Agwara m ha ihe ha ga-agwa Ido na ndị Livayị ibe ya, bụ ndị na-eje ozi nʼụlọnsọ dị na Kasifia, ka ha zite ndị ga-eje ozi ka ha bịakwute anyị maka ụlọnsọ Chineke.
18 And they bring to us, according to the good hand of our God on us, a man of understanding, of the sons of Mahli, son of Levi, son of Israel, and Sherebiah, and his sons, and his brothers, eighteen;
Chineke gosikwara anyị obiọma zitere anyị nwoke a na-akpọ Sherebaya na ụmụ ya, na ụmụnne ya, ndị ọnụọgụgụ ha dị iri na asatọ. Sherebaya bụ nwa Mahali, nwa Livayị nwa Izrel, bụrụkwa nwoke nwere ezi uche.
19 and Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah, of the sons of Merari, his brothers, and their sons, twenty;
Chineke sitere nʼikwu Merari zite Hashabaya, na Jeshaya, tinyere ụmụnne ya na ụmụ ha ndị ikom, ndị ọnụọgụgụ ha dị iri ndị ikom abụọ.
20 and from the Nethinim, whom David and the heads gave for the service of the Levites, two hundred and twenty Nethinim, all of them defined by name.
Ha zitekwara narị abụọ na iri abụọ site na ndị na-eje ozi nʼụlọnsọ. Otu nke Devid na ndịisi ya họpụtara hiwee, maka inyere ndị Livayị aka. E deturu aha ha niile nʼotu nʼotu.
21 And I proclaim there a fast, by the river Ahava, to afflict ourselves before our God, to seek from Him a right way for us, and for our infants, and for all our substance,
Nʼebe ahụ, ka m nọ kpọsaa obubu ọnụ nʼakụkụ osimiri Ahava, nʼihi iweda onwe anyị ala nʼihu Chineke anyị, na ịrịọ ya ka o duo anyị, ụmụ anyị na akụ anyị niile, nʼụzọ ziri ezi nʼije anyị, ma nọnyekwara anyị.
22 for I was ashamed to ask from the king a force and horsemen to help us because of the enemy in the way, for we spoke to the king, saying, “The hand of our God [is] on all seeking Him for good, and His strength and His wrath [is] on all forsaking Him.”
Nʼihi na ihere ekweghị m rịọ eze ka o dunyere anyị ndị agha, na ndị na-agba ịnyịnya ga-edu anyị, ichebe anyị nʼụzọ, site nʼaka ndị iro. Nʼihi na anyị agwalarị eze na Chineke, onye anyị na-efe, na-echebe ndị niile na-efe ya; gwakwa ya na oke iwe ya na-adakwasị ndị niile gbakụtara ya azụ.
23 And we fast, and seek from our God for this, and He accepts our plea.
Ya mere, anyị buru ọnụ, kpee ekpere, rịọ Chineke ka o chebe anyị. O chebekwara anyị.
24 And I separate from the heads of the priests, twelve, even Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and with them of their brothers ten,
Ahọpụtara m ndị nchụaja iri na abụọ ndị a: Sherebaya, Hashabaya na mmadụ iri ndị ọzọ bụ ụmụnna ha ka ha hụ maka ọlaọcha, na ọlaedo, na efere ọlaedo ahụ, na ihe ndị ọzọ ahụ eze na ndị na-adụ ya ọdụ, na ndịisi ọchịchị ya, na ụmụ Izrel niile nyere maka ụlọnsọ ukwu Chineke anyị.
25 and I weigh to them the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, a raised-offering of the house of our God, that the king, and his counselors, and his heads, and all Israel—those present—lifted up;
Eji m ihe ọtụtụ tụọ onyinye ọlaọcha na ọlaedo na ihe ndị ọzọ eze, na ndị ndụmọdụ ya, na ndịisi ozi ya, na ndị Izrel nyere maka ụlọnsọ ukwu Chineke.
26 and I weigh to their hand six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and one hundred talents of vessels of silver, one hundred talents of gold,
E jiri m ihe ọtụtụ tụnye ha ọlaọcha dị narị talenti isii na iri ise (ya bụ 650), na ngwongwo ọlaọcha dị otu narị talenti (ya bụ 100), na ọlaedo dị otu narị talenti (ya bụ 100).
27 and twenty basins of gold, of one thousand drams, and two vessels of good shining bronze, desirable as gold.
Iri efere ọlaedo abụọ nke ọnụahịa ya bụ puku darik, tinyere efere bronz abụọ e hichaziri nke ọma, nke dị oke ọnụahịa dị ka efere ọlaedo.
28 And I say to them, “You [are] holy to YHWH, and the vessels [are] holy, and the silver and the gold [are] a willing-offering to YHWH, God of your fathers;
Emesịa, agwara m ha okwu sị ha, “Lee, unu onwe unu na ihe ndị a niile bụ ihe dị nsọ nye Onyenwe anyị. Ọlaọcha na ọlaedo ndị a bụkwa onyinye afọ ofufu e nyere Onyenwe anyị Chineke nna nna unu ha.
29 watch, and keep, until you weigh before the heads of the priests, and of the Levites, and the heads of the fathers of Israel, in Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of YHWH.”
Chenụ ha nche, debekwa ha nke ọma, tupu ruo mgbe unu ga-atụ ha nʼihu ndịisi nchụaja, na ndịisi Livayị, na ndịisi ụlọ nke Izrel nʼime Jerusalem, nʼime ụlọakụ nke ụlọ Onyenwe anyị.”
30 And the priests and the Levites took the weight of the silver, and of the gold, and of the vessels, to bring to Jerusalem to the house of our God.
Ya mere, ndị nchụaja na ndị Livayị kwenyere ibu ọlaọcha na ọlaedo, na ngwongwo ihe nsọ ndị ahụ, buga ha nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Chineke dị na Jerusalem.
31 And we journey from the river Ahava, on the twelfth of the first month, to go to Jerusalem, and the hand of our God has been on us, and He delivers us from the hand of the enemy and the one lying in wait by the way;
Anyị hapụrụ osimiri Ahava nʼụbọchị nke iri na abụọ nke ọnwa mbụ, chee ihu anyị ịga Jerusalem. Chineke nọnyekwaara anyị, dọpụta anyị site nʼaka ndị iro ọbụla, na nʼaka ndị ohi.
32 and we come to Jerusalem, and dwell there three days.
Nʼikpeazụ, anyị rutere Jerusalem nʼudo, zukwaa ike ụbọchị atọ.
33 And on the fourth day has been weighed the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, in the house of our God, to the hand of Meremoth son of Uriah the priest, and with him Eleazar son of Phinehas, and with them Jozabad son of Jeshua, and Noadiah son of Binnui, the Levites:
Nʼụbọchị nke anọ, site nʼoge anyị ruru, e jiri ihe ọtụtụ tụọkwa ọlaọcha na ọlaedo ahụ, ha na ngwongwo ihe nsọ ndị ọzọ ahụ. E mere nke a nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Chineke. Ndị tụrụ ha bụ Meremot nwa Ụraya onye nchụaja, na Elieza nwa Finehaz. Jozabad nwa Jeshua, na Noadaya nwa Binui, ndị Livayị, sokwa tụọ ha.
34 by number, by weight of everyone, and all the weight is written at that time.
Ihe niile zuru ezu dịka ịdị arọ ha si dị. E dekwara ọnụọgụgụ ihe a tụpụtara nʼakwụkwọ nʼoge ahụ.
35 Those coming in of the captives—sons of the expulsion—have brought burnt-offerings near to the God of Israel: twelve bullocks for all Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, twelve young male goats for a sin-offering—the whole a burnt-offering to YHWH;
Emesịa, onye ọbụla nʼime anyị si esi lọta chụụrụ Chineke Izrel aja nsure ọkụ. E ji oke ehi iri na abụọ chụọ aja maka ebo Izrel niile, ya na iri ebule itoolu na isii, na iri ụmụ ebule asaa na asaa. Ma e ji mkpi iri na abụọ chụọ aja mmehie. E jichakwa ha niile chụọ aja nsure ọkụ nye Onyenwe anyị.
36 and they give the laws of the king to the lieutenants of the king and the governors beyond the river, and they have lifted up the people and the house of God.
E nyere ndịisi ọrụ eze niile, na ndịisi ọchịchị niile dị nʼofe ọdịda anyanwụ osimiri Yufretis akwụkwọ iwu ahụ eze nyere. Ndịisi a nyekwara aka nʼọrụ iwughachi ụlọnsọ Chineke ahụ.
