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.
Mwet saya inge, su tuku liki acn Tel Melah, Tel Harsha, Cherub, Addan, ac Immer, elos tia ku in akpwayeye lah elos mwet in fwil nutin mwet Israel:
60 This group included 652 people who were descendants of Delaiah, Tobiah, and Nekoda.
Sou lal Delaiah, Tobiah, ac Nekoda — elos mwet 652.
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.
Sou lal Habaiah, sou lal Hakkoz, ac sou lal Barzillai, su sou in mwet tol, tia koneyukyak inelos in ma simusla, na pa tia kalem lah su mwet matu lalos. (Papa matu tumun sou in mwet tol Barzillai, el tuh payuk sin sie mutan ke sou se pangpang Barzillai in acn Gilead, na el tuh ekin ine lun sou lun papa talupal.)
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.
Ke sripen elos koflana akpwayeye lah su mwet matu lalos, pwanang tiana lela tuh elos in wi mwet tol.
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.
Governor lun mwet Jew el fahkang nu selos lah elos tia ku in mongo ke ma kisakinyuk nu sin God nwe ke na oasr sie mwet tol su ku in orekmakin Urim ac Thummim.
64 Altogether 42,360 Israeli people who returned to Judah.
Pisa lulap lun mwet su folokla liki sruoh — mwet 42,360
65 There were also 7,337 servants and 200 musicians, both men and women, who returned.

66 The Israelis brought with them [from Babylonia] 736 horses, 245 mules,
Horse — 736 Miul — 245
67 435 camels, and 6,720 donkeys.
Camel — 435 Donkey — 6,720
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.
Ke mwet sruoh elos sun Tempul lun LEUM GOD in acn Jerusalem, kutu sin mwet kol lun sou uh elos sang mwe sang ke insewowo tuh Tempul in ku in sifil musaiyukyak fin mahnum lun Tempul.
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.
Elos sang ke kuiyalos nu ke orekma sac, ac orala lupa inge: sie tausin tolngoul paun ke gold, limekosr tausin itfoko angngaul paun ke silver, ac siofok nuknuk lun mwet tol.
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.
Mwet tol, mwet Levi, ac kutu sin mwet uh oakwuki in acn Jerusalem ku acn apkuran nu we. Mwet on, mwet orekma, ac mwet topang su forfor taran Tempul elos oakwuki in siti srisrik apkuran pac nu we. Mwet Israel nukewa lula elos oakwuki in acn ma mwet matu lalos ah tuh muta we.
