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.

62 ೬೨ ಇವರು ತಮ್ಮ ವಂಶಾವಳಿಯ ಪತ್ರಗಳನ್ನು ಹುಡುಕಿದರೂ ಅವು ಸಿಕ್ಕದ ಕಾರಣ ಅಶುದ್ಧರೆಂದು ಯಾಜಕೋದ್ಯೋಗದಿಂದ ತಿರಸ್ಕರಿಸಲ್ಪಟ್ಟರು.
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 ೬೩ ಊರೀಮ್ ಮತ್ತು ತುಮ್ಮೀಮುಗಳ ಮೂಲಕ ದೈವನಿರ್ಣಯವನ್ನು ತಿಳಿಸಬಲ್ಲವನಾದ ಯಾಜಕನು ಬರುವ ತನಕ ಇವರು ಮಹಾಪರಿಶುದ್ಧ ಪದಾರ್ಥಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಭೋಜನ ಮಾಡಬಾರದೆಂಬುದಾಗಿ ದೇಶಾಧಿಪತಿಯು ತೀರ್ಪುಮಾಡಿದನು.
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.
65 ೬೫ ಈ ಸಂಖ್ಯೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಲೆಕ್ಕಿಸಲ್ಪಡದ ಅವರ ದಾಸದಾಸಿಯರು ಏಳು ಸಾವಿರದ ಮುನ್ನೂರ ಮೂವತ್ತೇಳು ಜನರು. ಅವರಲ್ಲಿ ಗಾಯಕರೂ, ಗಾಯಕಿಯರೂ ಇನ್ನೂರು ಜನರು ಇದ್ದರು.

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 ೬೯ ಅವರು ತಮ್ಮ ಸಾಮರ್ಥ್ಯಕ್ಕನುಸಾರವಾಗಿ ಕಟ್ಟಡದ ಭಂಡಾರಕ್ಕೆ ಕೊಟ್ಟದ್ದು ಅರುವತ್ತೊಂದು ಸಾವಿರ ಬಂಗಾರದ ಪವನುಗಳು, ಎರಡು ಲಕ್ಷದ ಐವತ್ತು ಸಾವಿರ ತೊಲಾ ಬೆಳ್ಳಿ ಮತ್ತು ನೂರು ಯಾಜಕವಸ್ತ್ರಗಳು.
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 ೭೦ ದೇವಸ್ಥಾನದ ಸೇವೆಗಾಗಿ ಇದ್ದ ಯಾಜಕರು, ಲೇವಿಯರು, ಗಾಯಕರು, ದ್ವಾರಪಾಲಕರು ಮತ್ತು ಸಾಧಾರಣಜನರಲ್ಲಿ ಕೆಲವರು ಅವರವರಿಗೆ ನೇಮಕವಾದ ಪಟ್ಟಣಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ವಾಸಿಸಿದರು; ಬೇರೆ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಇಸ್ರಾಯೇಲರು ತಮ್ಮ ತಮ್ಮ ಪಟ್ಟಣಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ವಾಸಿಸಿದರು.
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.
