14 A no na mamo hoi a Bigevai; o Utai, a o Zabuda, a me laua no he kanahiku na kane.
And Uthai and Zaccur and 70 other men from the clan descended from Bigvai.
15 A hoakoakoa ae la au ia lakou ma ka muliwai e kahe ana i Ahava, a malaila makou i hoomoana'i i na ia ekolu: a nana aku la au i na kanaka, a me na kahuna, aole i lona malaila kekahi o na mamo a Levi.
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].
16 Alaila kii aku la au ia Eliezera, a ia Ariela, a ia Simaia, a ia Elenatana, a ia Iariba, a ia Elenatana, a ia Nataua, a ia Zekaria, a me Mesulama, he mau mea koikoi; a ia Ioiariba, a ia Elenatana, he mau mea naauao.
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.
17 A hoouna aku au ia lakou e kauoha ia Ido, i ka luna ma ke kauwahi i Kasipia, a hai aku au ia lakou i na mea a lakou e olelo aku ai ia Ido, a me kona mau houhanau, ka poe Netini ma ke kauwahi i Kaeipia, e lawe mai lakou na makou i mea lawelawe no ka hale o ko kakou Akua.
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].
18 A ma ka lima o ke Akua maluna o makou e pono ai, lawe mai lakou no makou i kekahi kanaka naauao no na keiki a Maheli, ka mamo a Levi, ke keiki a Iseraela; a ia Serebia, me kana mau keiki, a me kona mau hoahanau he umikumamawalu;
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.
19 A me Hasabia, a me ia no o Iesaia, no na mamo a Merari, kona mau hoahanau, a me ka lakou mau keiki, he iwakalua;
They also sent to us Hashabiah, along with Jeshaiah, descendants of [Levi’s son] Merari, and 20 of their relatives.
20 A no ka poe Netini, na mea a Davida, a me na luna i hoonoho ai no ka oihana Levi, elua haneri a me ka iwakalua Netini: ua kaheaia lakou a pau ma ka inoa.
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.
21 Alaila kukala aku au i hookeai malaila ma ka muliwai o Ahava, i hoohaahaa iho ai makou ia makou iho imua o ko kakou Akua, e imi aku ia ia i aoao pono no makou, a no ka makou kamalii, a no ka makou waiwai a pau.
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.
22 No ka mea ua hilahila no wau e noi aku i ke alii i poe koa, a me na holohololio, e kokua ia makou no na enemi ma ke ala: no ka mea, ua olelo makou i ke alii, i ka i ana'ku, O ka lima o ko kakou Akua maluna o lakou a pau e pono ai, o ka poe e imi ana ia ia; aka, ua ku e mai kona mana a me kona huhu i ka poe a pau e haalele ia ia.
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.
23 A hookeai iho la makou, n nonoi aku i ko kakou Akua no keia mea; a hoolohe mai no ia ia makou.
So we (fasted/abstained from eating food) and requested God to protect us, and he (answered our prayers/did what we requested.)
24 Alaila hookaawale au i na luna kahuna he umikumamalua. o Serebia, o Hasabia, a ho umi o ko laua mau hoahanau me laua;
I chose twelve of the leaders of the priests, Sherebiah and Hashabiah and ten of their relatives.
25 A kaupaona iho la au no lakou i ke kala, a i ke gula, a me na kiaha, ka manawalea no ka hale o ko kakou Akua, a ke alii, a me kona poe kakaolelo, a me kona poe luna, a me ka Iseraela a pau e noho ana, i haawi mai ai:
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.
26 Kaupaona aku la nu no ko lakou lima i eono haneri a mo kanalima talena kala, a me na kiaha kala hookahi haneri talena, a me ke gula hookahi haneri talena;
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,
27 A he iwakalua bola gula, hookahi tausani derama; a elua kiaha keleawe melemele maikai, he nui ke kumukuai, e like me ke gula.
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.
28 A i aku la au ia lakou, Ua hoolaaia oukou no Iehova: ua hoolaaia no hoi na kiaha; a o ke kala a me ke gula, he makana wale no Iehova ke Akua o ko oukou poe kupuna.
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).
29 E makaala oukou, a e malama hoi, a kaupaona oukou ia mea imua o na luna kahuna a me na Levi, a me na mea koikoi o na makua o ka Iseraela ma Ierusalema, iloko o na keena ma ka hale o Iehova.
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.”
30 A lawe ae la na kahuna a me na Levi i ke kala, a me ke gula, a me na kiaha i kaupaonaia, e hali aku i Ierusalema ma ka hale o ko kakou Akua.
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.
31 A haalele makou i ka muliwai o Ahava, i ka la umikumamalua o ka malama mua, e hele i Ierusalema; a maluna o makou ka lima o ko makou Akua, a hoopakele no oia ia makou i ka lima o ka enemi, a me ka poe hoohalua ma ke ala.
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).
32 A hele mai makou i Ierusalema, a noho malaila i na la ekolu.
After we arrived in Jerusalem, we rested for three days.
33 A i ka ha o ka la, kaupaonaia ke kala, a me ke gula, a me na kiaha, iloko o ka hale o ko kakou Akua, ma ka lima o Meremota, ke keiki a Uria ke kahana; a me ia no o Eleazara, ke keiki a Pioehasa; a me lakou no o Iozabada, ke keiki a Iesua, a o Noadia, ke keiki a Binui, no na Levi;
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.
34 Ma ka helu ana, a me ke kaupaona ana, o na mea a pau: a o na paona a pau, ua kakauia i kela manawa.
They counted everything, and wrote down how much they weighed, and wrote [a description of] each item.
35 A o na keiki a ka poe pio i hoi hou mai, kaumaha aku lakou i na mohaikuni i ke Akua o ka Iseraela, he umikumamalua na bipikane no ka Iseraela a pau, a he kanaiwakumamaono na hipakane, a he kauahikukumamahiku na keikihipa, he umikumamalua na kaokane, i mohai hala: oia mea a pau i mohaikuni ia Iehova.
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.
36 A haawi aku lakou i na kauoha a ke alii, i na kiaaina, a me na'lii aimoku o ke alii ma keia aoao o ka muliwai; a kokua lakou i na kauaka, a me ka hale o ke Akua.
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.
