Ezra 8
1 This is a list of the names of the leaders of the clans who came with me up [to Jerusalem] from Babylonia when Artaxerxes was the king [of Persia]:
Hetnaw teh siangpahrang Artaxerxes a bawi lahun nah Babilon hoi kai koe ka tho e imthung kahrawinaw ca catounnaw doeh.

13 Also Eliphelet, Jeuel, and Shemaiah, who returned [here] later with 60 men from the clan descended from Adonikam
Adomikam capanaw thung hoi hnukteng e taminaw teh Eliphelet, Jeuel, Shemaiah hoi tongpa 60.
14 And Uthai and Zaccur and 70 other men from the clan descended from Bigvai.
Bigvai capanaw thung hoi Uthai hoi Zabud, koe kaawm e tongpa 70 touh hoi.
15 I gathered all of them together at the canal that goes [from Babylon] to Ahava [town]. We set up our tents there and stayed there for three days. [During that time] I checked the lists of names and found out that there were priests [going with us], but no [other] descendants of Levi [who could help them in the temple].
Ahava palang vah ka kamkhueng awh teh hawvah hnin 3 touh ka o awh. Hahoi, tamihupui hoi vaihmanaw ka khet navah Levih catounnaw ka hmawt hoeh.
16 So I summoned Eliezer, Ariel, Shemaiah, two men whose names were Elnathan, and Jarib, Nathan, Zechariah, and Meshullam, who were all leaders [of the people]. I also summoned Joiarib and another Elnathan, who were wise.
Hahoi teh, kahrawikungnaw, Eliezer, Ariel, shemaiah, Elnathan, Jarib, Elnathan, Nathan, Zekhariah hoi Meshullam kahrawikungnaw lawk ka thaipanuek e Joiarib hoi Elnathan tinaw hai.
17 I sent them all to Iddo, the leader of the descendants of Levi, who was living in Casiphia [town], to request that he and his relatives and other men who had worked in the temple send to us some men who would [go/come with us to] work in God’s new temple [in Jerusalem].
Kasiphia hmuen ka uk e Iddo koevah tami ka patoun teh Cathut e im dawk thaw katawknaw thokhai hanelah Kasiphia hmuen e Iddo hoi a hmaunawngha Nethinim taminaw koevah bangtelamaw dei han tie lawk ka thui.
18 Because God was kind to us, they brought to us a man named Sherebiah and 18 of his sons and other relatives. Sherebiah was a very wise man, a descendant of Mahli, [who was a grandson] of Levi.
Cathut ni na pahrennae dawkvah hnâ kathaipanueknaw, Mahli capa thung hoi Levih capanaw, Isarel thung hoi Sherebiah capanaw a hmaunawnghanaw 18 touh hoi.
19 They also sent to us Hashabiah, along with Jeshaiah, descendants of [Levi’s son] Merari, and 20 of their relatives.
Hashabiah, Merari capanaw thung hoi Jeshaiah, a hmaunawnghanaw hoi a capanaw 20 touh.
20 They also sent 220 other men to work in the temple. Those men’s ancestors had been appointed by King David to assist the descendants of Levi [who helped the priests in the temple]. I listed/wrote the names of all those men.
Nethinim taminaw, Devit hoi kahrawikungnaw ni Levih taminaw thaw tawk hanelah poe e naw thung dawk hoi Nethinim tami 220 touh hoi kai koe a thokhai teh abuemlah a min thut pouh e lah ao.
21 There alongside the Ahava Canal, I told them that we all would (fast/abstain from eating food) and pray. I also told them that we should humble ourselves in the presence of our God. We prayed that God would protect us while we traveled, and also protect our children and our possessions/belongings.
Hahoi, kamamouh, camonaw hoi hnopainaw abuemlahoi ama koe lamkalan ka hmu thai awh nahan hoi kamamouh Cathut hmalah kârahnoum thai awh nahan, Ahava palang teng vah rawcahai hane ka dei pouh.
22 Previously we had told the king that our God takes care of all those who truly trust in him, but that he becomes very angry with those who refuse to obey him. So I would have been ashamed if I had asked the king to send soldiers and men riding on horses to protect us from our enemies while we were traveling along the road.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut minhmai kahawi ka tawng e taminaw koe a lungmanae teh a o, a bahu hoi a lungkhueknae teh ama ka cettakhai e taminaw lathueng vah a o, telah siangpahrang koe ka dei pouh toung dawkvah, lam tarannaw e kut dawk hoi na kabawm hanelah ransa hoi marangransanaw siangpahrang koe ka dei pouh hane hah kaya tho e lah ka pouk.
23 So we (fasted/abstained from eating food) and requested God to protect us, and he (answered our prayers/did what we requested.)
Hahoi, rawca ka hai awh teh, Cathut koe Atangcalah ka hei awh teh, ka hei awh e patetlah na thai pouh.
24 I chose twelve of the leaders of the priests, Sherebiah and Hashabiah and ten of their relatives.
Hahoi teh, vaihma kahrawikungnaw thung dawk hoi 12 touh, Sherebiah hoi Hasabiah a hmaunawnghanaw thung hoi 10 touh hah ka hmoun.
25 I appointed them to supervise carrying to Jerusalem the gifts of silver and gold and the other valuable items that the king and his advisors and other officials, and the Israeli people [who were living in Babylonia], had contributed for the temple of our God.
Hahoi, siangpahrang lawkcengkungnaw hoi kahrawikungnaw hoi hawvah kaawm e Isarel taminaw abuemlah ni Cathut e im hanelah e hno, ngun, sui hoi hnopainaw teh yawcu dawk ka khing teh ahnimae kut dawk ka poe.
26 As I gave these various items to those priests, I weighed each of the items. This was the total: 25 tons of silver, 100 items made from silver that altogether weighed 7,500 pounds, (7,500 pounds/3,400 kg.) of gold,
Yawcu dawk khing hnukkhu ahnimae kut dawk ka poe e teh ngun talen 650, ngun hlaam talen 100, sui talen 100 touh.
27 20 gold bowls that altogether weighed (19 pounds/8.6 kg.), and two items made of polished bronze that were as valuable as ones made of gold.
Ka phu e suimanang 20 touh, rahum loukloukkaang ni teh sui patetlah aphu kaawm e manang kahni touh hai ka poe.
28 I said to those priests, “You belong to Yahweh, the God whom our ancestors (worshiped/also belonged to), and these valuable things also belong to him. The people themselves gave these things to be offerings to Yahweh (voluntarily/because they wanted to).
Hahoi, ahnimouh koevah Cathut hanelah thoung sak e lah na o awh teh hnopainaw hai kathounge lah ao. Ngun hoi suinaw teh mintoenaw e BAWIPA Cathut hanelah lungthocalah hoi poe e naw doeh.
29 So guard them carefully, and [when we arrive] in Jerusalem, weigh them in the presence of the priests, the descendants of Levi [who will help the priests], and the other Israeli leaders there. They will then put them in the storerooms in the new temple.”
Vaihma kacuenaw, Levihnaw hoi Isarel kahrawikung hmalah Jerusalem kaawm e BAWIPA imrakhan dawk na tâ awh hoehroukrak teh kahawicalah khenyawn awh telah, ka dei pouh.
30 So the priests and [other] descendants of Levi took from me all the gifts of silver and gold and the other valuable items, in order to carry them to the temple in Jerusalem.
Hahoi vaihmanaw Levihnaw ni Jerusalem kaawm e BAWIPA im dawk ceikhai hanelah ngun, suinaw hoi hnopainaw hah a dâw awh.
31 On April 19, we left the Ahava Canal and started to travel to Jerusalem. Our God took care of us, and while we traveled, he prevented our enemies and bandits from (ambushing us/suddenly attacking us).
Hahoi, Jerusalem lah cei hanelah thapa pasuek, hnin 12 nah Ahava palang hoi ka tâco awh. Hahoi BAWIPA ni na pahren awh teh tarannaw e kut hoi lam vah arulahoi ka pawm e a kutnaw dawk hoi na ring awh.
32 After we arrived in Jerusalem, we rested for three days.
Jerusalem ka pha awh teh hnin thum touh kâhat awh.
33 Then on the fourth/next day we went to the temple. There the silver and gold and the other items were weighed and given to the priest Meremoth, the son of Uriah. Eleazar the son of Phinehas and two descendants of Levi, Jozabad the son of Jeshua and Noadiah the son of Binnui, were with him.
Hnin 4 hnin teh ngun, sui hoi hnopainaw hah BAWIPA e im dawk tâ hanelah vaihma Uriah capa Meremoth e kut dawk ka poe. Ahni koe Phinehas capa Eleazar ao. Hahoi ahni koe Levih miphun Jeshua capa Jozabad hoi Benui capa Noadiah ao.
34 They counted everything, and wrote down how much they weighed, and wrote [a description of] each item.
A khing e abuemlah hoi koung khing awh teh kong a poe awh, Hatnavah a khing hot yit touh tie kong a thut awh.
35 We who had returned from Babylonia offered to God sacrifices on the altar. We offered twelve bulls for all us Israeli people. We also offered 96 rams and 27 lambs. We also sacrificed twelve goats [to atone] for the sins that all the people had committed. These were all completely burned on the altar.
San lah hrawi e camonaw, san lah onae koehoi kahloutnaw ni Isarel cathut koevah hmaisawi thuengnae a sak awh teh Isarelnaw abuemlah hanelah maitotan 12, tutan 96, tuca 77, yon thueng nahanelah hmaetan 12 touh. Hetenaw abuemlah he BAWIPA koe hmaisawi thuengnae naw doeh.
36 Some of us who returned [from Babylonia] took to the governors and other officials of the province west of the [Euphrates] River the letter that the king had given to us. [After they read the letter, ] they did all [that they were able to do] for us Israeli people and for the temple of God.
Siangpahrang e kâlawk patetlah, siangpahrang imthung thaw katawknaw hoi tui na ram kaukkungnaw koe a dei pouh awh. Hot patetlah Cathut im hai tamimaya koevah hno a poe awh.
