Ezra 8
1 These are the leaders of their ancestors' families who left Babylon with me during the reign of King Artaxerxes.
Pa inge inen sifen sou su muta in sruoh in Babylonia ac welul Ezra folokla nu Jerusalem ke pacl Artaxerxes el tokosra fulat:
2 Of the descendants of Phinehas, Gershom. Of the descendants of Ithamar, Daniel. Of the descendants of David, Hattush,
Gershom ke fwil natul Phinehas Daniel ke fwil natul Ithamar Hattush, wen natul Shecaniah, ke fwil natul David
3 who was of the descendants of Shecaniah, who was from the descendants of Parosh; and Zechariah, and with him there were 150 males listed in the record of his genealogy.
Zechariah ke fwil natul Parosh wi mwet 150 ke sou lulap lal (simisyukla inen mwet in sou lalos ke sramsram matu)
4 Of the descendants of Pahath-Moab, Eliehoenai son of Zerahiah and with him were two hundred males.

5 Of the descendants of Zattu, Ben Jahaziel and with him were three hundred males.

8 Of the descendants of Shephatiah, Zebadiah son of Michael and with him were listed eighty males.

9 Of the descendants of Joab, Obadiah son of Jehiel and with him were listed 218 males.

10 Of the descendants of Bani, Shelomith son of Josiphiah and with him were listed 160 males.

11 Of the descendants of Bebai, Zechariah son of Bebai and with him were listed twenty-eight males.

12 Of the descendants of Azgad, Johanan son of Hakkatan and with him were listed 110 males.
Johanan, wen natul Hakkatan, ke fwil natul Azgad, wi mukul 110
13 Those of the descendants of Adonikam came later. These were their names: Eliphelet, Jeuel, and Shemaiah and with them came sixty males.
Eliphelet, Jeuel, ac Shemaiah ke fwil natul Adonikam, wi mukul 60, (elos folokla ke sie pacl tok)
14 Of the descendants of Bigvai, Uthai and Zaccur and with him were listed seventy males.
Uthai ac Zaccur ke fwil natul Bigvai, wi mukul 70
15 I gathered the travelers at the canal that goes to Ahava, and we camped there three days. I examined the people and priests, but could not find any descendants of Levi there.
Nga orani u nufon sac nu pe inyoa soko ma sasla nu Ahava, ac kut aktuktuk we len tolu. Nga konauk lah oasr mwet tol in u sac, a wangin mwet Levi.
16 So I sent for Eliezer, Ariel, Shemaiah, Elnathan, Jarib, and Elnathan and Nathan, Zechariah, and Meshullam—who were leaders—and for Joiarib and Elnathan—who were teachers.
Nga sapla suli eu sin mwet kol lalos: Eliezer, Ariel, Shemaiah, Elnathan, Jarib, Elnathan, Nathan, Zechariah, ac Meshullam, oayapa luo mwet luti: Joiarib ac Elnathan.
17 Next I sent them to Iddo, the leader in Kasiphia. I told them what to say to Iddo and his relatives, the temple servants living in Kasiphia, that is, to send to us servants for the house of God.
Nga supwalosla nu yorol Iddo, su leumi acn Casiphia, in siyuk sel ac mwet kasru lal su orekma ke Tempul, tuh elos in supwama mwet in kulansap nu sin God in Tempul.
18 So they sent us by our God's good hand a man named Sherebiah, a prudent man. He was a descendant of Mahli son of Levi son of Israel. He came with eighteen sons and brothers.
Ke lungkulang lun God, elos supwalma Sherebiah, sie mwet fas, su mwet Levi se in fwil natul Mahli; ac mukul singoul oalkosr sin wen natul ac tamulel lal welul tuku.
19 With him came Hashabiah. There also were Jeshaiah, one of the sons of Merari, with his brothers and their sons, twenty men in all.
Elos oayapa supwalma Hashabiah ac Jeshaiah ke fwil natul Merari, wi mwet longoul sin mwet laltal.
20 Of those assigned to serve in the temple, whom David and his officials gave to serve the Levites: 220, each of them assigned by name.
Sayen mwet inge, oasr luofoko longoul mwet orekma ke Tempul su mwet matu lalos tuh srisrngiyuki sel Tokosra David ac mwet pwapa lal tuh elos in kasru mwet Levi. Simisyukla inelos kais sie.
21 Then I proclaimed a fast at the Ahava Canal to humble ourselves before God, to seek a straight path from him for us, our little ones, and all our possessions.
Ingo sisken Inyoa Ahava, nga sapkin tuh kut nukewa in lalo ac akpusiselye kut ye mutun God lasr, ac siyuk sel tuh Elan kol kut ke fahsr lasr ac lisringkuti ac tulik natusr ac ma lasr nukewa.
22 I was ashamed to ask the king for an army or horsemen to protect us against enemies along the way, since we had said to the king, 'The hand of our God is on all who seek him for good, but his might and wrath are on all who forget him.'
Nga lukun mwekin in siyuk sin tokosra fulat ke sie u in mwet mweun ma kasrusr fin horse in karingin kut ke fufahsryesr lasr liki kutena mwet lokoalok, mweyen nga fahk nu sel tari lah God lasr El akinsewowoyalos nukewa su lulalfongi El, a El lain ac kalyei kutena su forla lukel.
23 So we fasted and sought God about this, and we pled to him.
Ouinge kut lalo ac pre tuh God Elan karingin kut, ac El topuk pre lasr.
24 Next I selected twelve men from the priestly officials: Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brothers.
Inmasrlon mwet tol su fulat, nga tuh sulella Sherebiah, Hashabiah, ac mwet singoul saya.
25 I weighed out for them silver, gold, and the objects and offerings for the house of God that the king, his counselors and officials, and all Israel had freely offered.
Na nga pauniya silver, gold ac ahlu in kulansap ma tokosra fulat, mwet pwapa ac mwet fulat lal oayapa mwet Israel nukewa elos tuh sang in orekmakinyuk in Tempul, ac nga sang nu sin mwet tol.
26 So I weighed into their hand 650 talents of silver, one hundred talents of silver objects, one hundred talents of gold,
Pa inge ma nga sang nu selos: silver — ton 25 100 ahlu silver, kufwen mwe orekma — paun 150 gold — paun 7,500
27 twenty gold bowls that were together valued at one thousand darics, and two well-polished bronze vessels as precious as gold.
20 ahlu gold — paun 16 tafu 2 ahlu bronze wowo — lupan molo uh oana molin ahlu gold.
28 Then I said to them, “You are consecrated to Yahweh, and these objects also, and the silver and gold are a freewill offering to Yahweh, the God of your ancestors.
Nga fahk nu selos, “Kowos mutal ye mutun LEUM GOD lun mwet matu lowos, ac oayapa ahlu silver ac gold su itukyang nu sel ke insewowo, ma inge mutal pac.
29 Watch over them and keep them until you weigh them out before the priestly officials, Levites, and leaders of the ancestors' clans of Israel in Jerusalem in the rooms of God's house.”
Kowos karinganang akwoya nwe ke kowos sun Tempul. Kowos pauniya ma inge infukil lun mwet tol, ac sang nu sin mwet kol lun mwet tol ac mwet Levi, ac nu sin mwet kol lun Israel in Jerusalem.”
30 The priests and the Levites accepted the weighed silver, gold, and the objects in order to take them to Jerusalem, to our God's house.
Ke ma inge mwet tol ac mwet Levi elos eis ac fosrngakin silver, gold, ac kufwen mwe orekma, ac elos usla nu in Tempul Jerusalem.
31 We went out from the Ahava Canal on the twelfth day of the first month to go to Jerusalem. The hand of our God was on us; he protected us from the hand of the enemy and the ones who wished to ambush us along the road.
Len se aksingoul luo ke malem se meet pa kut mukuiyak liki Inyoa Ahava in som nu Jerusalem. God lasr El wi kut ac karingin kut liki mwet lokoalok ac liki mwet su akola in kasriki kut inkanek ah.
32 So we entered Jerusalem and stayed there for three days.
Ke kut sun acn Jerusalem, kut muta mongla len tolu.
33 Then on the fourth day the silver, gold, and objects were weighed out in our God's house into the hand of Meremoth son of Uriah the priest, and with him were Eleazar son of Phinehas, Jozabad son of Jeshua, and Noadiah son of Binnui the Levite.
Na len se akakosr kut som nu ke Tempul, pauniya silver, gold, ac kufwen mwe orekma, na kut sang nu sel Meremoth mwet tol, wen natul Uriah. Mwet tolu welul pa: Eleazar wen natul Phinehas, ac mwet Levi luo, Jozabad wen natul Jeshua, ac Noadiah wen natul Binnui.
34 The number and weight of everything was determined. All the weight was written down at that time.
Ma nukewa oaoala ac paunyuki, ac simla in pacl sac pacna.
35 The ones who came back from the captivity, the people of exile, offered burnt offerings to the God of Israel: twelve bulls for all of Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, and twelve male goats as a sin offering. All were a burnt offering for Yahweh.
Na mwet nukewa su foloko liki sruoh elos use mwe sang lalos tuh in mwe kisa firir nu sin God lun Israel. Elos sang cow mukul 12 ke Israel nufon, wi sheep mukul 96, ac sheep fusr 77. Elos oayapa sang nani 12 mwe aknasnasyalos liki ma koluk. Ma inge nukewa mwe kisa firir nu sin LEUM GOD.
36 Then they gave the king's decrees to the king's high officials and the governors in the Province Beyond the River, and they helped the people and the house of God.
Elos oayapa usla leta se ma tokosra fulat el tuh sang nu selos ac sang nu sel governor ac mwet pwapa lun acn Roto-in-Euphrates, na mwet inge elos oru pac kasru lalos nu sin mwet uh ac nu ke alu in Tempul.
