And I gave them a commission to Iddo the chief, at the place Casiphia, and I put words in their mouths to say to Iddo [and] his brethren the Nethinim, at the place Casiphia, that they should bring to us ministers for the house of our God.
18 Na tondũ guoko kwa ũtugi kwa Ngai witũ kwarĩ hamwe na ithuĩ-rĩ, magĩtũrehere Sherebia, mũndũ mũhoti wa kuuma njiaro cia Mahili mũrũ wa Lawi, ũrĩa warĩ mũrũ wa Isiraeli, na ariũ a Sherebia na ariũ a ithe, othe maarĩ andũ 18;

And I proclaimed a fast there, at the river Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God, to seek of him a right way for us, and for our little ones, and for all our substance.

For I was ashamed to require of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way; for we had spoken to the king saying, The hand of our God is upon all them for good that seek him; but his power and his anger is against all them that forsake him.
23 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio tũkĩĩhinga kũrĩa irio na tũgĩthaitha Ngai witũ nĩ ũndũ wa ũhoro ũcio, nake agĩcookia ihooya riitũ.

and I weighed to them the silver and the gold and the vessels, the heave-offering for the house of our God, which the king and his counsellors and his princes, and all Israel present, had offered.
26 Ngĩmathimĩra taranda 650 cia betha, na indo cia betha cia ũritũ wa taranda igana rĩmwe, na taranda igana rĩmwe cia thahabu,
And I weighed into their hand six hundred and fifty talents of silver; and silver vessels a hundred talents, [and] of gold a hundred talents;
27 na mbakũri 20 cia thahabu cia thogora wa mbaũni 1,000, na indo igĩrĩ cia gĩcango gĩtherie mũno kĩa goro o ta thahabu.
and twenty basons of gold, of a thousand darics; and two vessels of shining copper, precious as gold.
28 Ngĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ o ũndũ ũmwe na indo ici nĩ mwamũrĩirwo Jehova. Betha na thahabu ici nĩ maruta ma kwĩyendera marutĩirwo Jehova Ngai wa maithe manyu.
And I said to them, Ye are holy unto Jehovah; the vessels also are holy; and the silver and the gold is a voluntary offering to Jehovah the God of your fathers.

Watch and keep [them] until ye weigh them before the chiefs of the priests and the Levites, and the chiefs of the fathers of Israel, at Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of Jehovah.
30 Nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai na Alawii makĩamũkĩra betha na thahabu, na indo icio nyamũre iria ciathimĩtwo nĩguo itwarwo nyũmba ya Ngai witũ kũu Jerusalemu.
And the priests and the Levites received by weight the silver and the gold and the vessels, to bring them to Jerusalem unto the house of our God.
31 Na mũthenya wa ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ mweri wa mbere tũkiuma rũũĩ-inĩ rwa Ahava twerekeire Jerusalemu. Guoko kwa Ngai witũ kwarĩ hamwe na ithuĩ, nake agĩtũgitĩra kuuma kũrĩ thũ na njangiri njĩra-inĩ.
And we departed from the river Ahava on the twelfth of the first month, to go to Jerusalem; and the hand of our God was upon us, and he delivered us from the hand of the enemy, and of such as lay in wait by the way.
32 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio tũgĩkinya Jerusalemu, na tũkĩhurũka kuo mĩthenya ĩtatũ.
And we came to Jerusalem, and abode there three days.
33 Mũthenya wa kana, tũrĩ thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ya Ngai witũ, tũgĩthima betha na thahabu na indo iria nyamũre ikĩneanwo moko-inĩ ma Meremothu mũrũ wa Uria, ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai. Eleazaru mũrũ wa Finehasi aarĩ hamwe nake, o ũndũ ũmwe na Jozabadu mũrũ wa Jeshua, na Noadia mũrũ wa Binui, arĩa Alawii.
And 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 Urijah 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, Levites:
34 Indo ciothe nĩciatarirwo kũringana na mũigana na ũritũ wacio, naguo ũritũ wacio ũrĩ wothe ũkĩandĩkwo o hĩndĩ ĩyo.
the whole by number and by weight; and all the weight was written down at that time.
35 Hĩndĩ ĩyo arĩa maacookete kuuma kũrĩa maatahĩirwo makĩrutĩra Ngai wa Isiraeli maruta ma njino: makĩruta ndegwa ikũmi na igĩrĩ nĩ ũndũ wa andũ a Isiraeli othe, na ndũrũme mĩrongo kenda na ithathatũ, na tũtũrũme mĩrongo mũgwanja na mũgwanja, na makĩruta thenge ikũmi na igĩrĩ irĩ iruta rĩa kũhoroheria mehia.

The children of those that had been carried away, who had come out of the captivity, presented burnt-offerings to the God of Israel, twelve bullocks for all Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, twelve he-goats for a sin-offering: all for a burnt-offering to Jehovah.
36 Magĩcooka magĩtwara mawatho ma mũthamaki kũrĩ anene arĩa maathuurĩtwo nĩ mũthamaki, na kũrĩ mabarũthi ma Mũrĩmo-wa-Farati, nao magĩteithia andũ na magĩteithĩrĩria maũndũ ma nyũmba ya Ngai.
And they delivered the king's edicts to the king's satraps, and to the governors on this side the river. And they furthered the people and the house of God.
