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.
Ne bano be baava mu bibuga eby’e Terumeera, n’e Terukalusa, n’e Kerubu, n’e Yaddani, n’e Immeri, naye tebaalina bukakafu bulaga nti bava mu nnyumba ya Isirayiri.

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.
Ne ku bakabona kwaliko bazzukulu ba Kobaya, ne bazzukulu ba Kakkozi, ne bazzukulu ba Baluzirayi eyawasa muwala wa Baluzirayi Omugireyaadi, n’atuumibwa erinnya eryo.
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.
Ate waaliwo abalala abaanoonya amannya gaabwe mu abo abaabalibwa naye ne batagalaba, era ne batabalibwa mu bakabona kubanga kyagambibwa nti si balongoofu.
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.
Omukulembeze n’abalagira baleme okulya ku bintu ebitukuvu ennyo, okuggyako nga waliwo kabona alina Ulimu ne Sumimu.
64 Altogether 42,360 Israeli people who returned to Judah.
Bonna awamu baali emitwalo ena mu enkumi bbiri mu bisatu mu nkaga,
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.
Awo abakulu b’ennyumba z’abajjajjaabwe bwe baatuuka ku kifo ennyumba ya Mukama we yali mu Yerusaalemi, ne bawaayo ebiweebwayo nga beeyagalidde, olw’okuddaabiriza ennyumba ya Katonda.
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.
Ne bawaayo mu ggwanika ng’obusobozi bwabwe bwe bwali; ne bawaayo kilo bitaano eza zaabu, ne tani ssatu, n’ebyambalo bya bakabona kikumi mu ggwanika.
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.
Awo bakabona, n’Abaleevi, n’abayimbi, n’abaakuumanga enzigi za yeekaalu, n’abakozi ba yeekaalu ne baddayo mu bibuga byabwe, awamu n’abamu ku bantu abalala, n’Abayisirayiri abalala bonna ne baddayo mu bibuga byabwe.
