Ezra 8

1 Hanki Artaserksisi'ma kinima mani'nea knafima, mago mago naga nofite'ma ugotama hu'naza vahe'ma, Babiloniti'ma atre'za Jerusalema nagranema vu'naza vahe'mokizmi zamagia amanahu hu'ne,

These are the family heads and genealogical records of those who returned with me from Babylon during the reign of King Artaxerxes:

2 Finiasi nagapintira Gesomuki, Itamari nagapintira Danieliki, Deviti nagapintira Hatusiki,

from the descendants of Phinehas, Gershom; from the descendants of Ithamar, Daniel; from the descendants of David, Hattush

3 Parosi nagapintira Sekenaia'ene 150'a vahe agranema vu'naza vahe'mokizmi zamagi me'ne. Ana nehu'za zamagehe'i zamagima krente'naza avontafe'ene eri'ne'za vu'naze.

of the descendants of Shecaniah; from the descendants of Parosh, Zechariah, and with him were registered 150 men;

4 Hanki Pahatmoapu nagapintira, Serahia mofavre Elioenai'ene 200'a vahe agranena vu'naze.

10 Hanki Bani nagapintira Josifia nemofo Selomiti'ene, 160'a venene agranena vu'naze.

12 Hanki Azagadi naga'pintira Hakatani nemofo Johanani'ene, 110ni'a venene agranena vu'naze.

from the descendants of Azgad, Johanan son of Hakkatan, and with him 110 men;

13 Hanki Adonikamu naga'pintima henkama fore'ma hu'naza nehazavea, Elifeleti'ma, Jeuelima, Semaiaki hu'za 60'a venenene vu'naze.

from the later descendants of Adonikam, these were their names: Eliphelet, Jeiel, and Shemaiah, and with them 60 men;

14 Hanki Bigvai naga'pintira Utai'ene Zakurike 70'a venene vu'naze.

and from the descendants of Bigvai, both Uthai and Zaccur, and with them 70 men.

15 Hanki Ahava kumapima enevia rantimofo ankenare 3'a zage knafi kumara ementeta manineta nagra Ezra'na ana maka vahera zamavare tru nehu'na vahe'ene pristi vahe'ene rezaganena koana, anampina Livae nagapintira magore hu'na onke'noe.

Now I assembled these exiles at the canal that flows to Ahava, and we camped there three days. And when I searched among the people and priests, I found no Levites there.

16 E'ina hu'negu 9ni'a kva vahe'ma ke'ma huge'za e'naza vahe'mokizmi zamagi'a amanahu hu'ne, Eliezeriki Arieliki, Simaiaki, Elnataniki, Jaripiki mago ru Elnataniki, Nataniki Zekaraiaki, Mesulamu'ene, knare antahi'zama erina'a netrena zanagi'a Joiaripi'ene Elnataninena ke huge'za e'naze.

Then I summoned the leaders: Eliezer, Ariel, Shemaiah, Elnathan, Jarib, Elnathan, Nathan, Zechariah, and Meshullam, as well as the teachers Joiarib and Elnathan.

17 Ana hute'na Livae vahete ugagota kva ne' Idontega nagra huzmantoge'za Kasefia kumate vu'za, agri'ene naga'ane ra mono nompima eri'zama e'neriza vahe'ene ome zamasamisage'za, Jerusalemima Ra Anumzamofo mono nompima eri'zama erisaza vahera huzmantesige'za esaze hu'na huzmante'noe.

And I sent them to Iddo, the leader at Casiphia, with a message for him and his kinsmen, the temple servants at Casiphia, that they should bring to us ministers for the house of our God.

18 Ra Anumzamo'a so'e avu'ava huranteno, maka eri'zama eri antahintahima eri'nea ne' Serebia atrageno e'ne. Hanki Serebia'a Mali negehokino Livae ne' Israeli nagapinti ne' mani'neankino, agranema e'nazana, ne' mofavre naga'ane afu aganahe'za ana makara 18ni'a venene e'naze.

And since the gracious hand of our God was upon us, they brought us Sherebiah—a man of insight from the descendants of Mahli son of Levi, the son of Israel—along with his sons and brothers, 18 men;

19 Ana zanke hu'za Merari nagapintira Hasabiane Jeshaiane huznante'naze. Ana hazageke mofavre naga'zanine, naga'zani fatgone e'nazana 20'a venene zanagranena e'naze.

also Hashabiah, together with Jeshaiah, from the descendants of Merari, and his brothers and their sons, 20 men.

20 Hagi mono nompima eri'zama e'neriza vahera, 220'a vahe huzmantege'za e'naze. Ana vahera korapa'ma zamagehe'ima kini ne' Deviti'ene ugota eri'za vahe'amo'za Livae naga'ma Ra Anumzamofo mono nompi eri'za zamaza hihoma hu'zama, huhamprima zamante'naza nagapinti vahe mani'nazankino, zamagi'a mago avontafepi me'ne.

They also brought 220 of the temple servants, all designated by name. David and the officials had appointed them to assist the Levites.

21 Hanki Ahava tinkenare mani'neta amanage hu'na vea kevua zamasami'noe, Ne'zana a'o huta Ra Anumzamofo avurera tavufga anteramita, antahigesanunkeno, tagri'ene mofavre nagatine, feno zantinena taza huno kegava hurante'nesigeta Jerusalemia vugahune.

And there by the Ahava Canal I proclaimed a fast, so that we might humble ourselves before our God and ask Him for a safe journey for us and our children, with all our possessions.

22 Hanki nagrama kini ne'ma antahigesugeno hosi agumpima mani'za nevaza sondia vahe'ene mopafima vu sondia vahe'ma huzmantesige'za kvama hurante'za vu'zankura nagaze hu'ne. Na'ankure kini ne'enema mani'nena amanage hu'na asami'noe, Iza'o tagri Ra Anumzamofoma amage'ma antesia vahera, ha'ma hurante'naku'ma hanaza vahera Agra'a kegava hurantegahie hu'na asami'noe. Hianagi Agri'ma amefima humisia vahera, Agra arimpa ahenezmanteno ha'rezmantegahie hu'na hu'noe.

For I was ashamed to ask the king for an escort of soldiers and horsemen to protect us from our enemies on the road, since we had told him, “The hand of our God is gracious to all who seek Him, but His great anger is against all who forsake Him.”

23 Ana hu'negu ne'zana a'o huta Ra Anumzantimo'ma kegavama huranteno'ma vanigu hanavetita nunamuna hanune nehuta, nunamuna huta antahigonkeno, Ra Anumzamo'a nunamuntia antahino kegava hurante'ne.

So we fasted and petitioned our God about this, and He granted our request.

24 Anantera pristi ne' Serebia nagapinti'ene pristi ne' Hasabia nagapintira 12fu'a ugagota pristi vahe huhampri nezmante'na, pristi eri'zama eri'naza venenea 10ni'a huhampri zmante'noe.

Then I set apart twelve of the leading priests, together with Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brothers,

25 Hanki kini ne'mo'ene antahintahima nemiza vahe'ene ugota eri'za vahe'ane Israeli vahe'mo'zama tagri Ra Anumzamofo mono nompi zantamine hu'zama ofama tami'naza zantamina, nagra Ezra'na eri'na 12fu'a ugagota pristi vahe'ma huhampri zamante'noa vahe kegava hiho hu'na refko hu'na silvane golinena zami'noe.

and I weighed out to them the contribution of silver and gold and the articles that the king, his counselors, his leaders, and all the Israelites there had offered for the house of our God.

26 Ana'ma hu'na zami'noa zantamimofo kna'amo'a amanahu hu'ne, silvamofo kna'amo'a 22 tani higeno, golimofo kna'amo'a 3tausen 400'a kilogremi higeno, silvareti'ma tro'ma hu'nea zantamina 100'a zuompagino, mago mago zuompamofo kna'amo'a 34 kilogremi hutere hu'ne.

I weighed out into their hands 650 talents of silver, articles of silver weighing 100 talents, 100 talents of gold,

27 Hanki golireti'ma tro'ma hu'naza zuompa 20'agino, mago mago zuompamo'a 8'a kilogi 400gremi hutere hu'ne. Hanki bronsireti'ma tro'ma hu'naza zuompa taregino, miza zaniamo'a tare golire zuompama mizama nesaza avamente vu'ne.

20 gold bowls valued at 1,000 darics, and two articles of fine polished bronze, as precious as gold.

28 Hagi anante ana pristi nagakura amanage hu'na zamasami'noe, Tamagrane ama zantaminena Ra Anumzamofo avurera ruotage hu'naze. Hagi silvane golinena, Ra Anumzana tamagri tamafahe'i Ra Anumzamofo vahe'mo'za amavesite ami'naza ofe.

Then I told them, “You are holy to the LORD, and these articles are holy. The silver and gold are a freewill offering to the LORD, the God of your fathers.

29 Hanki ama ana zantamina kegava hu'neta erita vuta Jerusalemia, Israeli naga'nofite'ma ugota hu'naza vahe'ene ugagota pristi vahe'ene Livae naga'mokizmi zamavuga Ra Anumzamofo mono nompima hunaragintene'za fenozama nentazafi, ome anteta kna'a refko huta keho.

Guard them carefully until you weigh them out in the chambers of the house of the LORD in Jerusalem before the leading priests, Levites, and heads of the Israelite families.”

30 Hanki anante pristi vahe'mo'zane Livae naga'mo'za ana maka silvane goline mono nompima ante zuomparaminena eri'za kna'amofona refko hu'za kete'za, Ra Anumzamofo mono nompi Jerusalemi omente'naku eri'za vu'naze.

So the priests and Levites took charge of the silver and gold and sacred articles that had been weighed out to be taken to the house of our God in Jerusalem.

31 Hanki ese ikamofona 12fu zupa Ahava tin ankenare'ma mani'nontetira atreta Jerusalemia vu'none. Ra Anumzamo'a tagrane mani'neno, knare huno kva huranteno vigeno, ha' vahe'mo'zane kumazufa vahe'mo'za karankama nevunke'za mago'zana osu'naze.

On the twelfth day of the first month we set out from the Ahava Canal to go to Jerusalem, and the hand of our God was upon us to protect us from the hands of the enemies and bandits along the way.

32 Hagi Jerusalemia uhanatiteta 3'a zage knafi mani frua hu'none.

So we arrived at Jerusalem and rested there for three days.

33 Hanki mani fruma huteta 4ma hia zage zupa Ra Anumzamofo mono nompi vuta, silvane goline mago'a zantamima eritama vu'nona zantamina, sigerile ome hantita kna'a refko huta negeta, pristi ne' Meremoti Uria nemofoki pristi ne' Eleazar Finiasi nemofoki, tare Livae netre Jeshua nemofo Josabati'ene Binui nemofo Noadia'ma hu'za mani'nageta ome zami'none.

On the fourth day, in the house of our God, we weighed out the silver and gold and sacred articles into the hand of Meremoth son of Uriah, the priest. Eleazar son of Phinehas was with him, along with the Levites Jozabad son of Jeshua and Noadiah son of Binnui.

34 Hagi ana maka zantamimofo kna'amofona hampri'za erinte fatgo nehu'za sigerire erinte'za kna'a erite'za, ana maka zantamimofo kna'amofona mago avontafepi krente'naze.

Everything was verified by number and weight, and the total weight was recorded at that time.

35 Hagi anante kinafinti'ma Babilonima atre'zama e'naza naga'mo'za Israeli Ra Anumzamofontega tevefi kre fanane hu ofa hu'naze. Ana maka Israeli vaheteku hu'za 12fu'a ve bulimakao aheza kresramana nevu'za, ve sipisipi afura 96si'a aheza kresramna nevu'za ve anenta sipisipi afura 77ni'a ahe'za kresramna vu'naze. Ana nehu'za kumi zamima eritre ofa 12fu'a meme afutami aheza kresramna vu'naze. Hagi ama ana maka afutamina tevefi kre fanane hu ofa Ra Anumzamofontega hu'naze.

Then the exiles who had returned from captivity sacrificed burnt offerings to the God of Israel: 12 bulls for all Israel, 96 rams, 77 lambs, and a sin offering of 12 male goats. All this was a burnt offering to the LORD.

36 Hanki kini ne'mo'ma kre'nea avona eri'na, Yufretisi rantimofo kantu kazigama me'nea kumatamima kvama hu'nea Gavana ne'ene kva vahete'ene, eri'za vahetera atronkeno vuno eno hu'ne. Hagi ana avoma kete'za, tagrira tazeri so'e nehu'za, Ra Anumzamofo mono nompi eri'zanena taza hu'naze.

They also delivered the king’s edicts to the royal satraps and governors of the region west of the Euphrates, who proceeded to assist the people and the house of God.
