Ezra 8
1 Now these are the heads of their fathers’ households, and this is the genealogy of those who went up with me from Babylon, in the reign of Artaxerxes the king:
Magi e jotend dhoudi kod jogo mane obiro koda koa Babulon e kinde loch Ruoth Artaksases:
2 Of the sons of Phinehas, Gershom. Of the sons of Ithamar, Daniel. Of the sons of David, Hattush.
nyikwa Finehas, Gershom; nyikwa Ithamar, Daniel; nyikwa Daudi, Hatush
3 Of the sons of Shecaniah, of the sons of Parosh, Zechariah; and with him were listed by genealogy of the males one hundred and fifty.
nyikwa Shekania; nyikwa Parosh, Zekaria, kaachiel kode ji mia achiel gi piero abich;
4 Of the sons of Pahathmoab, Eliehoenai the son of Zerahiah; and with him two hundred males.

12 Of the sons of Azgad, Johanan the son of Hakkatan; and with him one hundred and ten males.
nyikwa Azgad, Johanan wuod Hakatan, kaachiel kode ji mia achiel gapar;
13 Of the sons of Adonikam, who were the last, their names are: Eliphelet, Jeuel, and Shemaiah; and with them sixty males.
nyikwa Adonikam, mago mogik, nyingegi ne Elifelet, Jeuel kod Shemaya, kaachiel kodgi ji piero auchiel;
14 Of the sons of Bigvai, Uthai and Zabbud; and with them seventy males.
nyikwa Bigvai, Uthai kod Zakur, kaachiel kodgi ji piero abiriyo.
15 I gathered them together to the river that runs to Ahava; and there we encamped three days. Then I looked around at the people and the priests, and found there were none of the sons of Levi.
Ne achokogi e bath aora mamol kochiko Ahava, kendo ne wabuoro kanyo kuom ndalo adek. Kane arango e dier ji kod jodolo, ne ok ayudo jo-Lawi kanyo.
16 Then I sent for Eliezer, for Ariel, for Shemaiah, for Elnathan, for Jarib, for Elnathan, for Nathan, for Zechariah, and for Meshullam, chief men; also for Joiarib and for Elnathan, who were teachers.
Omiyo ne aluongo Eliezer, Ariel, Shemaya, Elnathan, Jarib, Elnathan, Nathan, Zekaria kod Meshulam, mane gin jotelo, kod Joyiarib gi Elnathan, mane gin joma osomo,
17 I sent them out to Iddo the chief at the place Casiphia; and I told them what they should tell Iddo and his brothers the temple servants at the place Casiphia, that they should bring to us ministers for the house of our God.
kendo ne aorogi ir Ido, jatelo Kasifia. Ne anyisogi gima giwachne Ido kod joge, jotij hekalu man Kasifia, mondo omi gikelnwa ji ne od Nyasachwa.
18 According to the good hand of our God on us they brought us a man of discretion, of the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel, namely Sherebiah, with his sons and his brothers, eighteen;
Nikech lwet Nyasachwa mar ngʼwono ne ni kuomwa, ne gikelonwa Sherebia, ngʼatno man-gi nyalo, koa e nyikwa Mali wuod Lawi, wuod Israel, kod yawuot Sherebia gi owetene, ji apar gaboro;
19 and Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah of the sons of Merari, his brothers and their sons, twenty;
kod Hashabia, kanyakla gi Jeshaya ma nyikwa Merari, kod owetene gi yawuot owetene, ji piero ariyo.
20 and of the temple servants, whom David and the princes had given for the service of the Levites, two hundred and twenty temple servants. All of them were mentioned by name.
Bende negikelo jotije hekalu mia ariyo gi piero ariyo, ma en riwruok mane Daudi kod jotelo nochako mondo okony jo-Lawi. Giduto nondik nying-gi piny.
21 Then I proclaimed a fast there at the river Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God, to seek from him a straight way for us, for our little ones, and for all our possessions.
Bangʼ mano, ne agolo chik mondo watwe chiemo e dho aora Ahava ka wahore wawegi e nyim Nyasachwa kendo wakwaye wuoth maber ni wan gi nyithindwa, gi giwa duto.
22 For I was ashamed to ask of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy on the way, because we had spoken to the king, saying, “The hand of our God is on all those who seek him, for good; but his power and his wrath is against all those who forsake him.”
Wiya nokuot mar kwayo ruodh jolweny kod joriemb farese mondo ogengʼwa kuom wasikwa manie yo, nikech ne wasenyiso ruoth niya, “Lwet Nyasachwa mar ngʼwono nitie kuom ji duto moketo genogi kuome, to mirimbe mager ni kuom jogo mojwangʼe.”
23 So we fasted and begged our God for this, and he granted our request.
Omiyo ne watweyo chiemo kendo wakwayo Nyasachwa kuom ma, kendo nodwoko lamowa.
24 Then I set apart twelve of the chiefs of the priests, even Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brothers with them,
Eka ne awalo jodolo motelo apar gariyo, kanyakla gi Sherebia, Hashabia kod owetegi apar,
25 and weighed to them the silver, the gold, and the vessels, even the offering for the house of our God, which the king, his counsellors, his princes, and all Israel there present, had offered.
kendo ne apimonegi pek chiwo mar fedha gi dhahabu kod gik mane ruoth, jongʼadne rieko, jotende kod jo-Israel duto mane ni kanyo nosechiwo ne od Nyasachwa.
26 I weighed into their hand six hundred and fifty talents of silver, one hundred talents of silver vessels, one hundred talents of gold,
Ne apimonegi pek mar fedha mane en talanta mia auchiel gi piero abich, gige fedha pekgi ne en talanta mia achiel, pek dhahabu ne en talanta mia achiel,
27 twenty bowls of gold weighing one thousand darics, and two vessels of fine bright bronze, precious as gold.
bakunde piero ariyo mar dhahabu ma nengogi romo darik alufu achiel, kod gik moko ariyo mag nyinyo mowir mongʼith, bende maber ka dhahabu.
28 I said to them, “You are holy to the LORD, and the vessels are holy. The silver and the gold are a free will offering to the LORD, the God of your fathers.
Ne awachonegi niya, “In kaachiel gi gigi owalu tenge ne Jehova Nyasaye. Fedha gi dhahabu gin chiwo mar hera ne Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach kwereu.
29 Watch and keep them until you weigh them before the chiefs of the priests, the Levites, and the princes of the fathers’ households of Israel at Jerusalem, in the rooms of the LORD’s house.”
Ritgiuru ka utangʼ nyaka chop upimgi e agola mar od Jehova Nyasaye man Jerusalem e nyim jodolo motelo gi jo-Lawi kod jotend anywola mag Israel.”
30 So the priests and the Levites received the weight of the silver, the gold, and the vessels, to bring them to Jerusalem to the house of our God.
Bangʼe jodolo kod jo-Lawi noyudo fedha gi dhahabu kod gik mowal mane osepim pekgi mondo ter e od Nyasachwa e Jerusalem.
31 Then we departed from the river Ahava on the twelfth day of the first month, to go to Jerusalem. The hand of our God was on us, and he delivered us from the hand of the enemy and the bandits by the way.
E odiechiengʼ mar apar gariyo e dwe mokwongo ne wawuok ka waa e aora mar Ahava mondo wadhi Jerusalem. Lwet Nyasachwa ne ni kuomwa, nogengʼonwa wasigu gi jonjore mane ni e wangʼ yo.
32 We came to Jerusalem, and stayed there three days.
Omiyo ne wachopo Jerusalem, kama ne wayweyoe kuom ndalo adek.
33 On the fourth day the silver and the gold and the vessels were weighed in the house of our God into the hand of Meremoth the son of Uriah the priest; and with him was Eleazar the son of Phinehas; and with them were Jozabad the son of Jeshua, and Noadiah the son of Binnui, the Levites.
E odiechiengʼ mar angʼwen, e od Nyasachwa, ne wapimo pek fedha gi dhahabu kod gigo mowal ma waketo e lwet Meremoth wuod Uria, ma jadolo, Eliazar wuod Finehas ne ni kode, kod jo-Lawi bende kaka Jozabad wuod Jeshua gi Noadia wuod Binui.
34 Everything was counted and weighed; and all the weight was written at that time.
Gik moko nokwan mongʼe kar kwan-gi kod pek mag-gi, kendo pek mag-gi nondik piny e sechego.
35 The children of the captivity, who had come out of exile, offered burnt offerings to the God of Israel: twelve bulls for all Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, and twelve male goats for a sin offering. All this was a burnt offering to the LORD.
Eka joma ne otwe mane odwogo koa e twech nochiwo misango mar misengini miwangʼo pep ni Nyasach Israel mane gin, rwedhi apar gariyo ne jo-Israel duto, imbe piero ochiko gauchiel, nyithi rombe machwo piero abiriyo gabiriyo, to gi nywogi apar gariyo kaka misango mar golo richo. Magi duto ne gin misango miwangʼo pep ni Jehova Nyasaye.
36 They delivered the king’s commissions to the king’s local governors and to the governors beyond the River. So they supported the people and God’s house.
Bende ne gitero chike mane ruoth ochiwo ni jotend gwenge kod jotend Yufrate, bangʼe negichiwo kony ni ji kod ni od Nyasaye.
