Ezra 8

1 Dagitoy dagiti mangidadaulo kadagiti pamilia dagiti kapuonanda a kaduak a pimmanaw idiay Babilonia kabayatan iti panagturay ni Ari Artaxerxes.

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:

2 Kadagiti kaputonan ni Finees: ni Gersom. Kadagiti kaputotan ni Itamar: ni Daniel. Kadagiti kaputotan ni David: ni Hattus.

Of the sons of Phinehas, Gershom. Of the sons of Ithamar, Daniel. Of the sons of David, Hattush.

3 Kadagiti kaputotan ni Sekanias, a dagiti kaputotan ni Paros: ni Zerahias. Kaduana dagiti sangagasut ket limapulo a lallaki a nailista.

Of the sons of Shecaniah, of the sons of Parosh, Zechariah; and with him were listed by genealogy of the males one hundred fifty.

Of the sons of Pahathmoab, Eliehoenai the son of Zerahiah; and with him two hundred males.

Of the sons of Joab, Obadiah the son of Jehiel; and with him two hundred eighteen males.

10 Kadagiti kaputotan ni Selomit a putot a lalaki ni Jesofias. Sangagasut ket innem a pulo a lallaki ti nailista a kaduana.

Of the sons of Shelomith, the son of Josiphiah; and with him one hundred sixty males.

11 Kadagiti Kaputotan ni Bebai: ni Zacarias a putot a lalaki ni Bebai. Duapulo ket walo a lallaki ti nailista a kaduana.

Of the sons of Bebai, Zechariah the son of Bebai; and with him twenty-eight males.

12 Kadagiti kaputotan ni Azgad: ni Johanan a putot a lalaki ni Jakkatan. Sangagasut ket sangapulo a lallaki ti nailista a kaduana.

Of the sons of Azgad, Yochanan the son of Hakkatan; and with him one hundred ten males.

13 Naud-udi nga immay dagiti kaputotan ni Adonikan. Dagitoy dagiti naganda: Elifelet, Jeuel ken Semaias. Innem a pulo a lallaki ti immay a kaduada.

Of the sons of Adonikam, who were the last, their names are: Eliphelet, Jeuel, and Shemaiah; and with them sixty males.

14 Kadagiti kaputotan ni Bigvai: ni Utai ken Zakkur. Pitopulo a lallaki ti nailista a kaduana.

Of the sons of Bigvai, Uthai and Zabbud; and with them seventy males.

15 Kinuna ni Ezra, “Inummongko dagiti agdaldaliasat iti karayan nga agturong idiay Ahava, ken nagkampo kami sadiay iti tallo nga aldaw. Sinukimatko dagiti tattao ken dagiti padi, ngem saanak a nakasarak idiay iti uray maysa a kaputotan ni Levi.

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.

16 Isu a pinaayabak da Eliezer, Ariel, Semaias, Elnatan, Jarib, Elnatan ken Natan, Zacarias ken Mesullam—a dagiti mangidadaulo —ken da Joiarib ken Elnatan—a mannursuro.

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.

17 Kalpasanna, imbaonko ida kenni Iddo a mangidadaulo idiay Casifia. Imbagak kadakuada ti ibagada kenni Iddo ken kadagiti kakabagianna, dagiti agnanaed idiay Casifia nga agserserbi iti templo, dayta ket, tapno mangibaonda kadakami kadagiti adipen para iti balay ti Dios.

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.

18 Isu a babaen iti kinaimbag ti ima ti Dios, imbaonda kadakami ti lalaki nga agnagan ti Serebias, maysa a nasirib a tao. Kaputotan isuna ni Mali a putot a lalaki ni Levi a putot ni Israel. Kaduana nga immay dagiti sangapulo ket walo a putotna a lallaki ken kakabsatna a lallaki.

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;

19 Kaduada nga immay ni Hasabias. Immay pay da Jesaias, maysa kadagiti putot a lallaki ni Merari, agraman dagiti kakabsatna a lallaki ken dagiti putotda a lallaki, duapuloda amin a lallaki.

and Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah of the sons of Merari, his brothers and their sons, twenty;

20 Kadagidiay a nadutokan nga agserbi idiay templo, a dinutokan ni David ken dagiti opisialna nga agserbi kadagiti Levita: duagasut ket duapulo, tunggal maysa kadakuada ket nadutokan babaen iti naganda.

and of the temple servants, whom David and the princes had given for the service of the Levites, two hundred twenty temple servants. All of them were mentioned by name.

21 Kalpasanna, inwaragawagko ti panagayunar iti igid ti Karayan Ahava tapno agpakumbabakami iti sangoanan ti Dios, tapno sapulen kenkuana ti nalinteg a dalan para kadakami, kadagiti ubbingmi, ken kadagiti amin a sanikuami.

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.

22 Nagbainak a dumawat iti ari iti maysa nga armada wenno dagiti agkabkabalio a mangsalaknib kadakami kadagiti kabusor iti dalanmi, agsipud ta kinuna mi iti ari, ‘Ti ima ti Diosmi ket adda kadagiti amin a kumamang kenkuana, ngem ti pannakabalin ken pungtotna ket adda kadagiti amin a manglipat kenkuana.'

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.”

23 Isu a nagayunarkami ken binirokmi ti Dios maipanggep iti daytoy, ket immasogkami kenkuana.

So we fasted and begged our God for this, and he granted our request.

24 Kalpasanna, nangpiliak iti sangapulo ket dua a lallaki manipud kadagiti panguloen dagiti padi: da Serabias, Hasabias, ken sangapulo kadagiti kakabsatda a lallaki.

Then I set apart twelve of the chiefs of the priests, even Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brothers with them,

25 Nangtimbangak para kadakuada iti pirak, balitok, ken dagiti alikamen ken datdaton para iti balay ti Dios, a siwawaya nga insagut ti ari, dagiti mammagbagana ken dagiti opisialesna, ken ti entero nga Israel.

and weighed to them the silver, the gold, and the vessels, even the offering for the house of our God, which the king, his counselors, his princes, and all Israel there present, had offered.

26 Nangtimbangak ngarud iti impaimak kadakuada nga innem a gasut ket limapulo a talento ti pirak, sangagasut a talento ti pirak nga alikamen, sangagasut a talento ti balitok,

I weighed into their hand six hundred fifty talents of silver, one hundred talents of silver vessels, one hundred talents of gold,

27 duapulo a malukong a balitok a nagatadan iti sangaribu a daric, ken dua a gambang a napasileng iti kasta unay a kas kapateg ti balitok.

twenty bowls of gold weighing one thousand darics, and two vessels of fine bright bronze, precious as gold.

28 Kalpasanna, kinunak kadakuada, 'Nasagradoankayo kenni Yahweh, kasta met dagitoy nga alikamen. Ket daytoy a pirak ken balitok ket naimpusoan a daton para kenni Yahweh, a Dios dagiti kapuonanyo.

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.

29 Aywanan ken idulinyo dagitoy agingga a maitimbangyo iti sangoanan dagiti opisial dagiti ari, dagiti Levita ken dagiti panguloen dagiti puli ti kapuonan ti Israel idiay Jerusalem, kadagiti siled ti balay ti Dios.'

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.”

30 Inawat dagiti padi ken dagiti Levita dagiti naitimbang a pirak, balitok ken dagiti alikamen tapno ipanda dagitoy idiay Jerusalem, iti balay ti Diostayo.

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.

31 Pimmanawkami idiay Karayan ti Ahava iti maikasangapulo ket dua nga aldaw ti umuna a bulan tapno mapankami idiay Jerusalem. Adda kadakami ti ima ti Diosmi; sinalaknibannakami manipud iti ima ti kabusor ken kadagiti nangtarigagay a mangdarup kadakami iti dalan.

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.

32 Isu a nakastrekkami idiay Jerusalem ket nagtalinaedkami sadiay iti tallo nga aldaw.

We came to Jerusalem, and stayed there three days.

33 Ket iti maikauppat nga aldaw, natimbang dagiti pirak, balitok ken dagiti alikamen iti balay ti Diosmi, ket naipaima kenni Meremot a padi nga anak ni Urias. Kaduana ni Eleasar a putot a lalaki ni Finees, ni Josabad a putot a lalaki ni Jesua, ken ni Noadias a putot a lalaki ni Binnui a Levita.

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 Yeshua, and Noadiah the son of Binnui, the Levites.

34 Naammoan ti bilang ken timbang dagiti amin nga alikamen; dagiti amin a timbang ket nailista iti dayta a tiempo.

Everything was counted and weighed; and all the weight was written at that time.

35 Dagiti nagsubli manipud iti pannakaibalud, a dagiti tattao a naipanaw a kas balud ket nangidatag iti daton a mapuoran para iti Dios ti Israel: sangapulo ket dua a baka para kadagiti amin nga Israelita, siam a pulo ket innem a kalakian a karnero, pitopulo ket pito nga urbon a karnero ken sangapulo ket dua a kalakian a kalding a kas daton gapu iti basol. Amin dagitoy ket daton a mapuoran para kenni Yahweh.

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.

36 Kalpasanna, intedda ti bilin nga impaulog ti ari iti kangatoan nga opisial ti ari ken kadagiti gobernador iti ballasiw ti Karayan, ket tinulonganda dagiti tattao ken ti balay ti Dios.”

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.
