एज्रा 2
1 १ जिनको बाबेल का राजा नबूकदनेस्सर बाबेल को बन्दी बनाकर ले गया था, उनमें से प्रान्त के जो लोग बँधुआई से छूटकर यरूशलेम और यहूदा को अपने-अपने नगर में लौटे वे ये हैं।
King Nebuchadnezzar’s [soldiers] had captured many [Israeli] people and taken them to Babylonia. [Many years later, ] some Israeli people returned to Judah. Some returned to Jerusalem, and some returned to [other places in] Judah. They went to the towns where their ancestors had lived. This is a list of the groups who returned.

These descendants of [King] Solomon’s servants [returned]: Sotai, Hassophereth, Peruda,

Shephatiah, Hattil, Pokereth-Hazzebaim, and Ami.
Altogether, there were 392 temple workers and descendants of Solomon’s servants who returned.
59 ५९ फिर जो तेल्मेलाह, तेलहर्शा, करूब, अद्दान और इम्मेर से आए, परन्तु वे अपने-अपने पितरों के घराने और वंशावली न बता सके कि वे इस्राएल के हैं, वे ये हैं:
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.
This group included 652 people who were descendants of Delaiah, Tobiah, and Nekoda.
61 ६१ याजकों की सन्तान में से हबायाह की सन्तान, हक्कोस की सन्तान और बर्जिल्लै की सन्तान, जिसने गिलादी बर्जिल्लै की एक बेटी को ब्याह लिया और उसी का नाम रख लिया था।
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 ६२ इन सभी ने अपनी-अपनी वंशावली का पत्र औरों की वंशावली की पोथियों में ढूँढ़ा, परन्तु वे न मिले, इसलिए वे अशुद्ध ठहराकर याजकपद से निकाले गए।
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 ६३ और अधिपति ने उनसे कहा, कि जब तक ऊरीम और तुम्मीम धारण करनेवाला कोई याजक न हो, तब तक कोई परमपवित्र वस्तु खाने न पाए।
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.
Altogether 42,360 Israeli people who returned to Judah.
There were also 7,337 servants and 200 musicians, both men and women, who returned.
The Israelis brought with them [from Babylonia] 736 horses, 245 mules,
435 camels, and 6,720 donkeys.
68 ६८ पितरों के घरानों के कुछ मुख्य-मुख्य पुरुषों ने जब यहोवा के भवन को जो यरूशलेम में है, आए, तब परमेश्वर के भवन को उसी के स्थान पर खड़ा करने के लिये अपनी-अपनी इच्छा से कुछ दिया।
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 ६९ उन्होंने अपनी-अपनी पूँजी के अनुसार इकसठ हजार दर्कमोन सोना और पाँच हजार माने चाँदी और याजकों के योग्य एक सौ अंगरखे अपनी-अपनी इच्छा से उस काम के खजाने में दे दिए।
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 ७० तब याजक और लेवीय और लोगों में से कुछ और गवैये और द्वारपाल और नतीन लोग अपने नगर में और सब इस्राएली अपने-अपने नगर में फिर बस गए।
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.
