Ezra 2
1 King Nebuchadnezzar’s [soldiers] had captured many [Israeli] people and taken them to Babylonia. [Many years later, ] some Israeli people returned to Judah. Some returned to Jerusalem, and some returned to [other places in] Judah. They went to the towns where their ancestors had lived. This is a list of the groups who returned.

59 There was another group who returned [to Judah] from Tel-Melah, Tel-Harsha, Kerub, Addan, and Immer [towns in Babylonia]. But they could not prove that they were descendants of [people who previously lived in] Israel.
Telmelah lamkah aka thoeng rhoek he Telharsa, Kherub, Addon, Immer. Tedae a napa imkhui ah puen ham a coeng uh moenih. Amih kah tiingan khaw amah Israel lamkah dae maco.
60 This group included 652 people who were descendants of Delaiah, Tobiah, and Nekoda.
Delaiah koca, Tobiah koca, Nekoda koca he ya rhuk sawmnga panit lo.
61 Hobaiah’s clan, Hakkoz’s clan, and Barzillai’s clan also returned. Barzillai had married a woman who was a descendant of Barzillai from [the] Gilead [region], and he had taken for himself the name of his father-in-law’s clan.
Khosoih koca lamloh Hobaiah koca, Koz koca, Barzillai koca. A yuu Giladi Barzillai nu rhoek te a loh hatah amih ming la a khue.
62 The people in that group searched in the documents that had the names of the ancestors of all the clans, but these men’s names were not found. So they were not permitted do the work that priests did.
amamih kah ca neh a khuui a toem uh dae a hmuh uh pawt rhoek te khosoihbi lamkah khaw coom coeng.
63 The governor told them that they would need to ask a priest to consult Yahweh by [(casting/throwing] the sacred lots/stones [that had been marked]), to determine if those men were truly Israelis. When the priests did that, [if the stones showed that those men were Israelis], they would be permitted to eat the shares of the sacrifices that were given to the priests.
Te dongah khosoih khaw Urim Thummim neh a pai hlan hil hmuencim neh hmuencim lamkah te a caak pawt hamla amih te tongmang boei loh a uen.
64 Altogether 42,360 Israeli people who returned to Judah.
Hlangping boeih he thikat la thawng sawmli thawng hnih ya thum sawmrhuk lo.
65 There were also 7,337 servants and 200 musicians, both men and women, who returned.
Te lamloh, amih salpa neh sal huta rhoek he khaw thawng rhih ya thum sawmthum parhih lo. Amih taengkah laa sa tongpa neh laa sa huta rhoek he yahnih lo.
66 The Israelis brought with them [from Babylonia] 736 horses, 245 mules,
Amih kah marhang te ya rhih sawmthum parhuk, muli-marhang te yahnih sawmli panga.
67 435 camels, and 6,720 donkeys.
A kalauk te ya li sawmthum panga, laak te thawng rhuk ya rhih neh pakul lo.
68 When they arrived at the temple of Yahweh in Jerusalem, some of the clan leaders gave money [for the supplies needed] to rebuild the temple at the place where the temple had been previously.
A napa boeilu rhoek lamkah khaw Jerusalem kah BOEIPA im la a pawk uh vaengah tah Pathen im te amah hmuen ah thoh hamla a puhlu uh.
69 They all gave as much money as they were able to give. Altogether they gave 61,000 gold coins, (6,250 pounds/3,000 kg.) of silver, and 100 robes for the priests.
Amamih kah thadueng bangla bitat kah thakvoh khuiah a sang uh. Te dongah sui tangkathi thawng sawmrhuk thawngkhat lo. Cak khaw mina thawng nga neh khosoih angkidung yakhat lo.
70 Then the priests, the [other] descendants of Levi, the musicians, the temple guards, and some of the [other] people started to live in the towns and villages [near Jerusalem]. The rest of the people went to the other places in Israel where their ancestors had lived.
Te tlam te khosoih neh Levi khaw, pilnam lamkah long khaw, laa sa neh thoh tawt khaw, tamtaeng rhoek khaw amamih khopuei ah, Israel pum lohamamih khopuei ah kho a sak uh.
