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.
Wafuatao walikuja kutoka miji ya Tel-Mela, Tel-Harsha, Kerubu, Adoni na Imeri, lakini hawakuweza kuthibitisha kwamba jamaa zao zilikuwa uzao wa Israeli:
60 This group included 652 people who were descendants of Delaiah, Tobiah, and Nekoda.

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.
Kutoka miongoni mwa makuhani: Wazao wa Hobaya, Hakosi, Barzilai (mtu aliyekuwa amemwoa binti wa Barzilai, Mgileadi, naye akaitwa kwa jina hilo).
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.
Hawa walitafuta orodha za jamaa zao, lakini hawakuonekana humo, kwa hiyo waliondolewa kutoka kundi la makuhani kwa kuwa walihesabiwa kuwa najisi.
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.
Mtawala aliagiza kuwa wasile chochote miongoni mwa vyakula vitakatifu hadi kuwe kuhani atakayehudumu kwa Urimu na Thumimu.
64 Altogether 42,360 Israeli people who returned to Judah.
Jumla ya watu wote waliorudi walikuwa 42,360;
65 There were also 7,337 servants and 200 musicians, both men and women, who returned.
tena zaidi ya hao walikuwepo watumishi wa kiume na wa kike 7,337; pia walikuwamo waimbaji wanaume na wanawake 200.
66 The Israelis brought with them [from Babylonia] 736 horses, 245 mules,
Walikuwa na farasi 736, nyumbu 245,
67 435 camels, and 6,720 donkeys.
ngamia 435 na punda 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.
Walipofika kwenye nyumba ya Bwana huko Yerusalemu, baadhi ya viongozi wa jamaa walitoa sadaka za hiari kwa ajili ya kujenga upya nyumba ya Mungu katika eneo lake.
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.
Wakatoa kwa kadiri ya uwezo wao na kutia katika hazina darkoni 61,000 za dhahabu, mane 5,000 za fedha, na mavazi 100 ya ukuhani kwa ajili ya kazi hiyo.
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.
Makuhani, Walawi, waimbaji, mabawabu, na watumishi wa Hekalu waliishi katika miji yao wenyewe, pamoja na baadhi ya watu wengine, nao Waisraeli waliosalia waliishi katika miji yao.
