Ezra 8
1 Now these are the heads of their ancestral houses, and this is the genealogy of those who went up with me from Babylon, in the reign of Artachshasta the king:
Irezao ro mpiaolon-droae naho ty fiantoño’ o nindre amako boak’ am-pifehea’ i Artaksastà mpanjaka, nionjomb’eo boake Baveleo:
2 Of the sons of Phinehas, Gershom. Of the sons of Ithamar, Daniel. Of the sons of David, Hattush
Tamo ana’ i Pinekaseo: i Gersome; amo ana’ Itamareo, i Daniele; tamo ana’ i Davideo, i Hatose.
3 the son of Shecaniah, of the sons of Parosh, Zechariah; and with him were reckoned by genealogy of the males one hundred fifty.
Tamo ana’ i Sekaniào, amo ana’ i Paroseo, i Zekarià reketse ty zato-tsi-limampolo nivolilieñe ami’ty fiantoño’ o lahilahio.
4 Of the sons of Pahath-Moab, Eliehoenai the son of Zerahiah; and with him two hundred males.
Tamo ana’ i Pakate-moabeo; i Elihoenay ana’ i Zerakià reketse ty lahilahy roanjato.
5 Of the sons of Zattu, Shecaniah the son of Jahaziel, and with him three hundred males.
Tamo ana’ i Sekaniào, i Zatò, ana’ Iakaziele, reketse ty lahilahy telonjato.
6 Of the sons of Adin, Ebed the son of Jonathan; and with him fifty males.
Le tamo ana’ i Adineo, i Ebede ana’ Ionatane, reketse ty lahilahy limampolo.
7 Of the sons of Elam, Jeshaiah the son of Athaliah; and with him seventy males.
Le tamo ana’ i Elameo, Iesaia ana’ i Atalia, reketse ty lahilahy fitompolo.
8 Of the sons of Shephatiah, Zebadiah the son of Michael; and with him eighty males.
Le tamo ana’ i Sefatiào, i Zebadià, ana’ i Mikaele, reketse ty lahilahy valompolo.
9 Of the sons of Joab, Obadiah the son of Jehiel; and with him two hundred and eighteen males.
Tamo ana’ Ioabeo, i Obadià, ana’ Iekiele, reketse ty lahilahy roanjato-tsi-folo-valo’ amby.
10 Of the sons of Bani, Shelomoth the son of Josiphiah, and with him one hundred sixty males.
Le tamo ana’ i Banio, i Selomite, ana’ Iosifià, rekets ty lahilahy zato-tsi-enempolo.
11 Of the sons of Bebai, Zechariah the son of Bebai; and with him twenty-eight males.
Le tamo ana’ i Bebaio; i Zekarià, ana’ i Bebay, reketse ty lahilahy roapolo-valo’ amby.
12 Of the sons of Azgad, Johanan the son of Hakkatan; and with him one hundred ten males.
Le tamo ana’ i Azgadeo; Iohanane, ana’ i Hakatane, reketse ty lahilahy zato-tsi-folo.
13 Of the sons of Adonikam, who were the last; and these are their names: Eliphelet, Jeuel, and Shemaiah; and with them sixty males.
Le tamo ana’ i Adonikameo, o tsitso’eo; zao o tahina’eo, i Elifelete, Ieiele naho i Semaià, reketse ty lahilahy enempolo.
14 Of the sons of Bigvai, Uthai and Zakkur; and with them seventy males.
Le tamo ana’ i Bigvaio, i Otay naho i Zakore, reketse ty lahilahy fitompolo.
15 I gathered them together to the river that runs to Ahava; and there we camped three days: and I viewed the people, and the priests, and found there none of the sons of Levi.
Le hene natontoko amy saka mivariñe mb’e Ahava mb’eoy; naho nitobe eo telo andro, nisary ondatio naho o mpisoroñeo fe leo raik’ amo nte-Levio tsy nizoeñe ao.
16 Then sent I for Eliezer, for Ariel, for Shemaiah, and for Elnathan, and for Jarib, and for Elnathan, and for Nathan, and for Zechariah, and for Meshullam, chief men; also for Joiarib, and for Elnathan, who were teachers.
Aa le tinokako t’i Eliezere, i Ariele, i Semaià naho i Elnatane naho Iaribe naho i Elnatane naho i Natane naho i Zekarià naho i Mesolame, mpiaolo; naho Ioiaribe vaho i Elnatane, mpañoke.
17 I sent them forth to Iddo the chief at the place Casiphia; and I told them what they should tell Iddo, and his brothers the temple servants, at the place Casiphia, that they should bring to us ministers for the house of our God.
Le nafantoko am’iareo ty homb’ amy Ido mpiaolo mb’an-toetse atao Kasifia naho vinolako am’iereo ty ho asa’ iareo amy Ido naho amo rahalahi’e mitoroñe an-toe’ i Kasifiao, ty hinday mpitoroñe mb’amy anjomban’ Añaharey.
18 According to the good hand of our God on us they brought us a man of discretion, of the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel; and Sherebiah, with his sons and his brothers, eighteen;
Aa ty am-pitàn-tsoan’ Añahare’ay ama’ay le nandesa’ iareo ondaty mahihitse, ty ana’ i Maklý, ana’ i Levy, ana’ Israele, toe i Serebià rekets’ o ana’eo naho o rahalahi’eo, folo-valo’ amby;
19 and Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah of the sons of Merari, his brothers and their sons, twenty;
naho i Kasabià; le nindre ama’e t’Iesaià tamo ana’ i Merario, o rahalahy naho ana-dahi’ iareoo, roapolo;
20 and from the temple servants, whom David and the officials had given for the service of the Levites, two hundred and twenty temple servants. All of them were mentioned by name.
vaho tamo nte-Natoneo, o natolo’ i Davide naho o roandriañeo am-pitoroñañe o nte-Levio; nte-Natone roan-jato-tsi-roapolo songa tinoñoñe amy tahina’ey.
21 Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God, to seek of him a straight way for us, and for our little ones, and for all our substance.
Aa le nitsey fililiran-draho an-tsaka Ahavà eo, hiambanea’ay añatrefan’ Añahare’ay, hipay ama’e ty lalan-tsoa ho anay naho o keleia’aio vaho o vara’ay iabio.
22 For I was ashamed to ask of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way, because we had spoken to the king, saying, "The hand of our God is on all those who seek him, for good; but his power and his wrath is against all those who forsake him."
Fa ho nisalatse iraho te nihalaly firimboñan-dahindefoñe naho mpiningi-tsoavala amy mpanjakay, hañolora’e anay amo malaso an-dalañeo; ie fa nisaontsy amy mpanjakay, ty hoe: Ty fitàn’ Añahare’ay ro amo mipay aze iabio ho an-kasoa; fe atreatré’e an-kaozarañe naho an-kaviñerañe o mamorintseñe azeo.
23 So we fasted and begged our God for this: and he was entreated of us.
Aa le ie ty nililira’ay te nitsoek’ an’ Andrianañahare’ay; vaho vinale’e i halali’aiy.
24 Then I set apart twelve of the chiefs of the priests, namely, Sherebiah, and Hashabiah, and ten of their brothers with them,
Aa le navìko ty mpiaolom-pisoroñe folo-ro’amby—i Serebià naho i Kasabià vaho ty folo amo longo’ iareoo.
25 and weighed to them the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, even the offering for the house of our God, which the king, and his counselors, and his officials, and all Israel there present, had offered:
Le linanjako am’ iereo i volafotiy naho i volamenay naho o fanakeo, i nengae’ i mpanjakay naho o mpanolo-keve’eo naho o roandria’eo naho o nte-Israele teo iabio, amy anjomban’ Añahare’aiy.
26 I weighed into their hand six hundred fifty talents of silver, and silver vessels one hundred talents; of gold one hundred talents;
Eka, linanjako am-pità’ iareo ty volafoty talenta enen-jato-tsi-limampolo naho ty fanake volafoty talenta zato naho ty volamena talenta zato;
27 and twenty bowls of gold, of one thousand darics; and two vessels of fine bright bronze, precious as gold.
naho koveta volamena roapolo, vilin-drala arivo; naho fanake roe an-torisike mikinokinoke, mañeva volamena.
28 I said to them, "You are holy to the LORD, and the vessels are holy; and the silver and the gold are a freewill offering to the LORD, the God of your fathers.
Le hoe ty asako am’ iereo, Miavake ho amy Iehovà nahareo, miavake ka o fanakeo; vaho nengaeñe an-tsatrin’ arofo am’ Iehovà Andrianañaharen-droae’ areo i volafotiy naho i volamenay.
29 Watch, and keep them, until you weigh them before the chiefs of the priests and the Levites, and the leaders of the ancestral houses of Israel, at Jerusalem, in the rooms of the house of the LORD."
Ijilovo naho ambeno ampara’ t’ie lanjae’ areo amo mpiaolom-pisoroñeo naho amo nte-Levio naho amo roandrian’ anjomban-droae’ Israeleo e Ierosalaime añ’efen’ anjomba’ Iehovà ao.
30 So the priests and the Levites received the weight of the silver and the gold, and the vessels, to bring them to Jerusalem to the house of our God.
Aa le rinambe’ i mpisoroñe naho nte-Levy rey i volafoty naho volamena linanjay naho o fanakeo hendesa’ iareo mb’e Ierosalaime añe mb’añ’ anjomban’ Añahare’ay mb’eo.
31 Then we departed from the river Ahava on the twelfth day of the first month, to go to Jerusalem: and the hand of our God was on us, and he delivered us from the hand of the enemy and the bandit by the way.
Aa le nienga i saka Ahavay zahay amy andro faha folo-ro’ambi’ i volam-baloha’eiy nionjone mb’e Ierosalaime mb’eo; naho tama’ay ty fitàn’Añahare’ay vaho rinomba’e am-pitàn-drafelahi’ay naho amy ze niampitse an-dalañe,
32 We came to Jerusalem, and stayed there three days.
le nivotrake e Ierosalaime ao vaho nitofa telo andro.
33 On the fourth day the silver and the gold and the vessels were weighed in the house of our God into the hand of Meremoth the son of Uriah the priest; and with him was Eleazar the son of Phinehas; and with them was Jozabad the son of Jeshua, and Noadiah the son of Binnui, the Levite;
Ie amy andro fahefatsey le nandanja i volafotiy naho i volamenay naho o fanakeo, añ’anjomban’ Añahare’ay am-pità’ i Meremote, ana’ i Orià mpisoroñe; nindre tama’e t’i Elazare, ana’ i Pinekase; le nimpiama’ iareo t’Iozabade ana’ Iesoà naho i Noadià, ana’ i Binoy, songa nte-Levy;
34 the whole by number and by weight: and all the weight was written at that time.
ie iaby ami’ty ia’e naho an-danja’e; le sinokitse henane zay iaby i lanja’ey.
35 The exiles who had returned from captivity offered burnt offerings to the God of Israel, twelve bulls for all Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, and twelve male goats for a sin offering: all this was a burnt offering to the LORD.
Nañenga soroñe aman’ Añahare’ Israele o anam-pandrohizañe niboak’ am-paneseañeo, bania folo-ro’amby ho a Israele iaby, añondrilahy sivampolo-eneñ’ amby, vik’añondry fitompolo-fito’ amby vaho oselahy folo-ro’amby ho engan-kakeo; hene nisoroñañe am’ Iehovà.
36 They delivered the king's commissions to the king's satraps, and to the governors beyond the River: and they furthered the people and God's house.
Le natolo’ iareo amo mpizaka’ i mpanjakaio naho amo mpifehe alafe’ i Sakaio i nampañitrifañey, vaho nimbae’ iereo ondatio naho i anjomban’ Añaharey.
