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.
Israel mi hiuvam hilou hiuvam kihetoh jou talou, chulecamahon jong apu apau insung lhah a aki khailhah nau kichen tah a seitheilou hochu anoiya chengse hi Tel-me’lah a hung kon, Tel-har’shaa konna hung, Kerub a konna hung, Addan akonna hung, chule Immer a konna Judah gam a kile dia hung ahiuve.

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.
Chujongle thempu thum insung mi akile lah jao hochu – Habai’ah, Hakkoz chule Barzil’lai ho chu ahiuve. (Barzillai hin Gilead mi Barzillai kitipa chanu ho khat aki chen pi jeh a amin hiche Barzil’laiya konna hi Barzil’lai akisah ahi.)
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.
Mi hijat chun phunggui thusim kijihna ah chun aminu akihol’uvin, ahinlah amin’u akimudoh jou pouvin; hijeh chun amaho hi aboh-in akikoiyin thempu ho lah a konin aladoh tauve.
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.
Gam vaipo a pang pan jong thilto theng chungnung chu aneh theilou na diuvin ajah uva aseipeh tai, thempu khat’ in Urim le Thummin aman a phun asan masang a aneh theilou diuvin ahil tan ahi.
64 Altogether 42,360 Israeli people who returned to Judah.
Sohchang a hungkile mihem pumpi chu abonchauvin mihem sangsom li le sangni toh, ja thumle som gup alhing uvin ahi;
65 There were also 7,337 servants and 200 musicians, both men and women, who returned.
Hiche hi asohteu pasal numei kisimtha lou lai ahi, asohteu chu sang sagi le ja thum toh, som thumle sagi ahiuvin; alah-uva hin lathem cheh pasal le numei ja ni aumin ahi.
66 The Israelis brought with them [from Babylonia] 736 horses, 245 mules,
Amahon sakol jasagi le somthum le gup, asakolpol jong ja ni le som li le nga;
67 435 camels, and 6,720 donkeys.

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.
Jerusalem khopia Pakai houin ahung lhun phat’uvin phung sunga upa phabep’in jong Pathen houin chu akisah na mun mama’a sahdoh kittei na din deichom’a thanop’a thilto abol tauvin ahi.
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.
Amaho hin ato jou khamcheh-in natohna dingin, thilkholna insunga atohdoh-uvin ahileh sana daric sang somgup le sangkhat toh, dangka mina sang-nga alhingin, thempuho kivonna ding ponsil jakhat toh atohdoh un ahi.
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.
Thempuho leh Leviho, chule mipi phabep jong Jerusalem khopi sung dunga aching uvin ahi. Lathemho leh kelkotngah apang ho, houin lhacha ho vang chu ama ama khosung cheh a achenguvin, chuleh Israel mipumpi jong akho akhouva akichen soh kei taovin ahi.
