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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
They also sent to us Hashabiah, along with Jeshaiah, descendants of [Levi’s son] Merari, and 20 of their relatives.
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 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 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.
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 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.
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 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/abstained from eating food) and requested God to protect us, and he (answered our prayers/did what we requested.)
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.
I chose twelve of the leaders of the priests, Sherebiah and Hashabiah and ten of their relatives.
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.
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 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.
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 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 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 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.
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 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.
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 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 [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 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 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 Hagi Jerusalemia uhanatiteta 3'a zage knafi mani frua hu'none.
After we arrived in Jerusalem, we rested 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.
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 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.
They counted everything, and wrote down how much they weighed, and wrote [a description of] each item.
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.
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 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.
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.
