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.

Bano be bakulu b’ennyumba, n’abo abeewandiisa n’abo abaayambuka nange okuva e Babulooni mu mulembe gwa kabaka Alutagizerugizi:

2 From the sons of Phinehas: Gershom; from the sons of Ithamar: Daniel; from the sons of David: Hattush;

okuva mu bazzukulu ba Finekaasi, Gerusomu; n’okuva mu bazzukulu ba Isamaali, Danyeri; n’okuva mu bazzukulu ba Dawudi, Kattusi

3 from the sons of Shechaniah, from the sons of Pharosh: Zechariah, and with him, reckoning themselves by genealogy, of males one hundred and fifty.

muzzukulu wa Sekaniya, n’okuva mu bazzukulu ba Palosi, Zekkaliya, era wamu naye abasajja abeewandiisa kikumi mu ataano;

4 From the sons of Pahath-Moab: Elihoenai son of Zerahiah, and with him two hundred who are males.

n’okuva mu bazzukulu ba Pakasumowaabu, Eriwenayi mutabani wa Zekkaliya, era wamu naye abasajja ebikumi bibiri;

5 From the sons of Shechaniah: the son of Jahaziel, and with him three hundred who are males.

n’okuva mu bazzukulu ba Sekaniya, mutabani wa Yakazyeri, era wamu naye abasajja ebikumi bisatu;

6 And from the sons of Adin: Ebed son of Jonathan, and with him fifty who are males.

n’okuva mu bazzukulu ba Adini, Ebedi mutabani wa Yonasaani, era wamu naye abasajja amakumi ataano;

7 And from the sons of Elam: Jeshaiah son of Athaliah, and with him seventy who are males.

n’okuva mu bazzukulu ba Eramu, Yesaya mutabani wa Asaliya, era wamu naye abasajja nsanvu;

8 And from the sons of Shephatiah: Zebadiah son of Michael, and with him eighty who are males.

n’okuva mu bazzukulu ba Sefatiya, Zebadiya mutabani wa Mikayiri, era wamu naye abasajja kinaana;

9 From the sons of Joab: Obadiah son of Jehiel, and with him two hundred and eighteen who are males.

n’okuva mu bazzukulu ba Yowaabu, Obadiya mutabani wa Yekyeri, era wamu naye abasajja ebikumi bibiri mu kkumi na munaana;

10 And from the sons of Shelomith, the son of Josiphiah, and with him one hundred and sixty who are males.

n’okuva mu bazzukulu ba Seromisi, mutabani wa Yosifiya, era wamu naye abasajja kikumi mu nkaaga;

11 And from the sons of Bebai: Zechariah son of Bebai, and with him twenty-eight who are males.

n’okuva mu bazzukulu ba Bebayi, Zekkaliya mutabani wa Bebayi, era wamu naye abasajja amakumi abiri mu munaana;

12 And from the sons of Azgad: Johanan son of Hakkatan, and with him one hundred and ten who are males.

n’okuva mu bazzukulu ba Azugadi, Yokanaani mutabani wa Kakkatani, era wamu naye abasajja kikumi mu kkumi;

13 And from the younger sons of Adonikam—and these [are] their names—Eliphelet, Jeiel, and Shemaiah, and with them sixty who are males.

n’okuva mu bazzukulu ba Adonikamu, abajja oluvannyuma, Erifereti, ne Yeyeri, ne Semaaya, era wamu nabo abasajja nkaaga;

14 And from the sons of Bigvai, Uthai and Zabbud, and with them seventy who are males.

n’okuva mu bazzukulu ba Biguvaayi, Usayi ne Zabudi, era wamu nabo abasajja nsanvu.

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;

Ne mbakuŋŋaanyiza ku mugga ogukulukutira e Yakava, ne tusiisira eyo okumala ennaku ssatu. Awo bwe nnali nga nneekebejja abantu ne bakabona, ne sirabamu Baleevi.

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;

Kyennava ntumya Eryeza ne Alyeri ne Semaaya ne Erunasani ne Yalibu ne Erunasani ne Nasani ne Zekkaliya ne Mesullamu, abaali abakulembeze ne Yoyalibu ne Erunasani, abaali abategeevu,

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.

ne mbatuma eri Iddo omukulu w’ekifo eky’e Kasifiya, ne mbategeeza bye baba bagamba Iddo ne baganda be, abaaweerezanga mu yeekaalu mu kifo ekyo eky’e Kasifiya, batuuweereze abaweereza abaliyamba mu nnyumba ya Katonda waffe.

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;

Olw’omukono gwa Katonda ogwali awamu naffe, ne batuleetera omusajja omutegeevu, omu ku bazzukulu ba Makuli, mutabani wa Leevi, mutabani wa Isirayiri, erinnya lye Serebiya, wamu ne baganda be ne batabani baabwe, abasajja kkumi na munaana;

19 and Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah, of the sons of Merari, his brothers, and their sons, twenty;

ne Kasabiya, wamu naye Yesaya omu ku bazzukulu ba Merali, ne baganda be ne batabani baabwe, abasajja amakumi abiri.

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.

Ate era ne baleeta n’abaweereza ba yeekaalu Dawudi n’abakungu be baalonda okubeeranga Abaleevi ebikumi bibiri mu abiri. Bonna baali beewandiisizza.

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,

Awo ku mugga Akava, ne nangirira okusiiba, twetoowaze mu maaso ga Katonda waffe, nga tumwegayirira okubeera awamu naffe n’abaana baffe n’ebintu byaffe byonna mu lugendo lwaffe.

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.”

Nakwatibwa ensonyi okusaba kabaka abaserikale abakuumi ab’ebigere n’abeebagala embalaasi okutukuuma eri abalabe, kubanga twali tumutegeezeza nti, “Omukono omulungi ogwa Katonda waffe gubeera ku buli muntu amunoonya, naye obusungu bwe bubeera ku abo abamujeemera.”

23 And we fast, and seek from our God for this, and He accepts our plea.

Kyetwava tusiiba ne twegayirira Katonda waffe ku nsonga eyo, era n’addamu okusaba kwaffe.

24 And I separate from the heads of the priests, twelve, even Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and with them of their brothers ten,

Awo ne nonda Serebiya ne Kasabiya ne baganda baabwe abalala kkumi, be bantu kkumi na babiri okuva mu bakabona abakulu,

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;

ne mbapimira ffeeza ne zaabu n’ebintu kabaka, n’abaami be, n’abakungu be, ne Isirayiri yenna, bye baawaayo ku lw’ennyumba ya Katonda waffe.

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,

Ne mbagererera ttani amakumi abiri mu ttaano eza ffeeza, n’ebintu ebya ffeeza obuzito bwabyo ttani ssatu n’ebitundu bisatu byakuna, ne zaabu ttani ssatu n’ebitundu bisatu byakuna,

27 and twenty basins of gold, of one thousand drams, and two vessels of good shining bronze, desirable as gold.

ne kilo munaana n’ekitundu eza zaabu, n’ebitundu bibiri eby’ekikomo ebirungi ebizigule, eby’omuwendo nga zaabu.

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;

Ne mbategeeza nti, “Muli batukuvu eri Mukama, n’ebintu bino bitukuvu eri Mukama. Effeeza ne zaabu biweebwayo kyeyagalire eri Mukama Katonda wa bajjajjammwe.

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.”

Mubikuume bulungi era mubituuse bulungi eri bakabona abakulu n’Abaleevi, n’abakulu b’ennyumba za Isirayiri.”

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.

Awo bakabona n’Abaleevi ne baweebwa effeeza ne zaabu, n’ebintu ebyawongebwa, ebyali bipimiddwa, okubitwala mu nnyumba ya Katonda waffe e Yerusaalemi.

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;

Ku lunaku olw’ekkumi n’ebbiri olw’omwezi ogw’olubereberye ne tusitula okuva ku mugga Akava okugenda e Yerusaalemi. Omukono gwa Katonda waffe ne gubeera wamu naffe, n’atukuuma eri abalabe n’abanyazi mu kkubo.

32 and we come to Jerusalem, and dwell there three days.

Ne tutuuka e Yerusaalemi gye twawumulira okumala ennaku ssatu.

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:

Awo ku lunaku olwokuna, nga tuli mu nnyumba ya Katonda waffe, ne tupima ffeeza ne zaabu n’ebintu ebyawongebwa ne tubikwasa Meremoosi kabona, mutabani wa Uliya, ne Eriyazaali mutabani wa Finekaasi eyali awamu naye, ne Yozabadi mutabani wa Yeswa, ne Nowadiya mutabani wa Binnuyi, Abaleevi.

34 by number, by weight of everyone, and all the weight is written at that time.

Byonna ne bibalibwa ng’omuwendo gwabyo bwe gwali n’obuzito bwabyo bwe bwali era ne biwandiikibwa.

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;

Mu kiseera ekyo abaawaŋŋangusibwa, abakomawo okuva mu busibe, ne bawaayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa eri Katonda wa Isirayiri: ente ennume kkumi na bbiri ku lwa Isirayiri yenna, n’endiga ennume kyenda mu mukaaga, n’obuliga obuto nga bulume nsanvu mu musanvu, n’embuzi ennume kkumi na bbiri okuba ekiweebwayo olw’ekibi, ebyo byonna ne biba ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa eri Mukama.

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.

Ate era ne batuusa n’ebiragiro bya kabaka eri bagavana n’abaamasaza abaali emitala w’omugga Fulaati, abafuzi abo ne bayamba abantu ne bawaayo n’obuyambi eri ennyumba ya Katonda.
