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.
Ndị a bụ ndị ọzọ sitere nʼobodo Tel Mela, Tel Hasha, Kerub, Adọn na Imea, nke dị nʼala Peshịa lọta. Ma ha enweghị ike igosi ezinaụlọ ebe agbụrụ ha si nʼIzrel.
60 This group included 652 people who were descendants of Delaiah, Tobiah, and Nekoda.
Ndị agbụrụ Delaya, Tobaya na Nekoda, narị isii na iri ise na abụọ.
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.
Sitekwa nʼetiti ndị nchụaja: Ndị agbụrụ Hobaya, Hakoz na Bazilai, nwoke lụrụ ada Bazilai onye Gilead, a kpọọ ya aha nʼaha ha.
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.
Ndị a chọrọ ebe e depụtara usoro ọmụmụ ha nʼakwụkwọ, ma ha achọtaghị ha, nʼihi ya, e wepụrụ ha nʼọrụ nchụaja dịka ndị na-adịghị ọcha.
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.
Onyeisi ọchịchị nyere iwu ka ha ghara iri ihe dịkarịsịrị nsọ tutu ruo mgbe e nwere onye nchụaja na-eji Urim na Tumim ajụta ase.

65 There were also 7,337 servants and 200 musicians, both men and women, who returned.

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.
Mgbe ha bịarutere nʼụlọ Onyenwe anyị dị na Jerusalem, ụfọdụ nʼime ndịisi ezinaụlọ nyere onyinye afọ ofufu maka i ji rụzie ụlọ Chineke ka o guzo nʼọnọdụ ya.
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.
Onye ọbụla nʼime ha webatara nʼụlọakụ ihe o nwere ike inye nʼihi ọrụ a. Ha nyere darik ọlaedo dị puku iri isii na otu, maịna ọlaọcha dị puku ise na onyinye uwe ndị nchụaja, otu narị.
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.
Ndị nchụaja, ndị Livayị, ndị ọbụ abụ, ndị na-eche ọnụ ụzọ ama, na ndị na-eje ozi nʼụlọnsọ, tinyere ụfọdụ ndị mmadụ ọzọkwa, ha na ndị Izrel niile fọdụrụ gara biri nʼobodo nke aka ha.
