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.

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.
62 Sa ki pa t' ka jwenn rejis pou moutre ki moun ki zansèt yo, yo pa t' asepte yo pou prèt.
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.
63 Gouvènè jwif la te di yo yo pa t' kapab manje nan manje yo mete apa pou Bondye a toutotan pa t' gen prèt ki konn sèvi ak Ourim yo ansanm ak Tourim yo pou wè sa Bondye vle.
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.
64 Antou nèt, te gen karanndemil tousanswasant (42.360) moun ki tounen nan peyi a.
Altogether 42,360 Israeli people who returned to Judah.
65 Avèk yo te gen sètmil twasantrannsèt (7.337) gason ak fanm ki te sèvi yo domestik. Te gen tou desan (200) gason ak fanm ki te konn fè misik ak chante.
There were also 7,337 servants and 200 musicians, both men and women, who returned.
66 Te gen sètsanswasannsis (766) chwal, desankarannsenk (245) milèt,

68 Lè yo rive nan tanp Seyè a, lavil Jerizalèm, gen kèk chèf fanmi ki fè ofrann pa yo pou ede rebati tanp lan sou menm anplasman kote li te ye a.
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.
69 Yo bay tou sa yo te ka bay pou travay la: sèzmil senksanven (16.520) ons lò, sandisètmil (117.000) ons ajan ak san (100) gwo rad pou prèt yo mete sou yo.
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.
70 Prèt yo, moun Levi yo ak kèk moun nan pèp la al rete lavil Jerizalèm ak nan vwazinaj lavil la. Mizisyen yo, gad yo ak travayè tanp yo al rete nan lavil ki pa twò lwen kapital la. Tout rès pèp Izrayèl la al rete nan lavil kote yo moun.
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.
