15 Nga orani u nufon sac nu pe inyoa soko ma sasla nu Ahava, ac kut aktuktuk we len tolu. Nga konauk lah oasr mwet tol in u sac, a wangin mwet Levi.
And I assembled them at the river that runneth to Ahava; and there we abode in tents three days: and I viewed the people, and the priests, and found there none of the sons of Levi.
16 Nga sapla suli eu sin mwet kol lalos: Eliezer, Ariel, Shemaiah, Elnathan, Jarib, Elnathan, Nathan, Zechariah, ac Meshullam, oayapa luo mwet luti: Joiarib ac Elnathan.
Then sent I for Eliezer, for Ariel, for Shemaiah, and for Elnathan, and for Jarib, and for Elnathan, and for Nathan, and for Zechariah, and for Meshullam, chief men; also for Joiarib, and for Elnathan, men of understanding.
17 Nga supwalosla nu yorol Iddo, su leumi acn Casiphia, in siyuk sel ac mwet kasru lal su orekma ke Tempul, tuh elos in supwama mwet in kulansap nu sin God in Tempul.
And I sent them with commandment to Iddo the chief at the place Casiphia, and I told them what they should say to Iddo, [and] to his brethren the Nethinims, at the place Casiphia, that they should bring to us ministers for the house of our God.
18 Ke lungkulang lun God, elos supwalma Sherebiah, sie mwet fas, su mwet Levi se in fwil natul Mahli; ac mukul singoul oalkosr sin wen natul ac tamulel lal welul tuku.
And by the good hand of our God upon us they brought us a man of understanding, of the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel; and Sherebiah, with his sons and his brethren, eighteen;
19 Elos oayapa supwalma Hashabiah ac Jeshaiah ke fwil natul Merari, wi mwet longoul sin mwet laltal.
And Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah of the sons of Merari, his brethren and their sons, twenty;
20 Sayen mwet inge, oasr luofoko longoul mwet orekma ke Tempul su mwet matu lalos tuh srisrngiyuki sel Tokosra David ac mwet pwapa lal tuh elos in kasru mwet Levi. Simisyukla inelos kais sie.
Also of the Nethinims, whom David and the princes had appointed for the service of the Levites, two hundred and twenty Nethinims: all of them were expressed by name.
21 Ingo sisken Inyoa Ahava, nga sapkin tuh kut nukewa in lalo ac akpusiselye kut ye mutun God lasr, ac siyuk sel tuh Elan kol kut ke fahsr lasr ac lisringkuti ac tulik natusr ac ma lasr nukewa.
Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river Ahava, that we might afflict ourselves before our God, to seek of him a right way for us, and for our little ones, and for all our substance.
22 Nga lukun mwekin in siyuk sin tokosra fulat ke sie u in mwet mweun ma kasrusr fin horse in karingin kut ke fufahsryesr lasr liki kutena mwet lokoalok, mweyen nga fahk nu sel tari lah God lasr El akinsewowoyalos nukewa su lulalfongi El, a El lain ac kalyei kutena su forla lukel.
For I was ashamed to require of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way: because we had spoken to the king, saying, The hand of our God [is] upon all them for good that seek him; but his power and his wrath [is] against all them that forsake him.
23 Ouinge kut lalo ac pre tuh God Elan karingin kut, ac El topuk pre lasr.
So we fasted and besought our God for this: and he was entreated by us.
24 Inmasrlon mwet tol su fulat, nga tuh sulella Sherebiah, Hashabiah, ac mwet singoul saya.
Then I separated twelve of the chief of the priests, Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brethren with them,
25 Na nga pauniya silver, gold ac ahlu in kulansap ma tokosra fulat, mwet pwapa ac mwet fulat lal oayapa mwet Israel nukewa elos tuh sang in orekmakinyuk in Tempul, ac nga sang nu sin mwet tol.
And weighed to them the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, [even] the offering of the house of our God, which the king, and his counselors, and his lords, and all Israel [there] present, had offered:
26 Pa inge ma nga sang nu selos: silver — ton 25 100 ahlu silver, kufwen mwe orekma — paun 150 gold — paun 7,500
I even weighed to their hand six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and silver vessels a hundred talents, [and] of gold a hundred talents;
27 20 ahlu gold — paun 16 tafu 2 ahlu bronze wowo — lupan molo uh oana molin ahlu gold.
Also twenty basins of gold, of a thousand drams; and two vessels of fine copper, precious as gold.
28 Nga fahk nu selos, “Kowos mutal ye mutun LEUM GOD lun mwet matu lowos, ac oayapa ahlu silver ac gold su itukyang nu sel ke insewowo, ma inge mutal pac.
And I said to them, Ye [are] holy to the LORD; the vessels [are] holy also; and the silver and the gold [are] a free-will-offering to the LORD God of your fathers.
29 Kowos karinganang akwoya nwe ke kowos sun Tempul. Kowos pauniya ma inge infukil lun mwet tol, ac sang nu sin mwet kol lun mwet tol ac mwet Levi, ac nu sin mwet kol lun Israel in Jerusalem.”
Watch ye, and keep [them], until ye weigh [them], before the chief of the priests and the Levites, and chief of the fathers of Israel, at Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of the LORD.
30 Ke ma inge mwet tol ac mwet Levi elos eis ac fosrngakin silver, gold, ac kufwen mwe orekma, ac elos usla nu in Tempul Jerusalem.
So the priests and the Levites took the weight of the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, to bring [them] to Jerusalem to the house of our God.
31 Len se aksingoul luo ke malem se meet pa kut mukuiyak liki Inyoa Ahava in som nu Jerusalem. God lasr El wi kut ac karingin kut liki mwet lokoalok ac liki mwet su akola in kasriki kut inkanek ah.
Then we departed from the river Ahava on the twelfth [day] of the first month, to go to Jerusalem: and the hand of our God was upon us, and he delivered us from the hand of the enemy, and of such as lay in wait by the way.
32 Ke kut sun acn Jerusalem, kut muta mongla len tolu.
And we came to Jerusalem, and abode there three days.
33 Na len se akakosr kut som nu ke Tempul, pauniya silver, gold, ac kufwen mwe orekma, na kut sang nu sel Meremoth mwet tol, wen natul Uriah. Mwet tolu welul pa: Eleazar wen natul Phinehas, ac mwet Levi luo, Jozabad wen natul Jeshua, ac Noadiah wen natul Binnui.
Now on the fourth day was the silver and the gold and the vessels weighed in the house of our God by the hand of Meremoth the son of Uriah the priest; and with him [was] Eleazar the son of Phinehas; and with them [was] Jozabad the son of Jeshua, and Noadiah the son of Binnui, Levites;
34 Ma nukewa oaoala ac paunyuki, ac simla in pacl sac pacna.
By number [and] by weight of every one: and all the weight was written at that time.
35 Na mwet nukewa su foloko liki sruoh elos use mwe sang lalos tuh in mwe kisa firir nu sin God lun Israel. Elos sang cow mukul 12 ke Israel nufon, wi sheep mukul 96, ac sheep fusr 77. Elos oayapa sang nani 12 mwe aknasnasyalos liki ma koluk. Ma inge nukewa mwe kisa firir nu sin LEUM GOD.
[Also] the children of those that had been carried away, who had come out of the captivity, offered burnt-offerings to the God of Israel, twelve bullocks for all Israel, ninety and six rams, seventy and seven lambs, twelve he-goats [for] a sin-offering: all [this was] a burnt-offering to the LORD.
36 Elos oayapa usla leta se ma tokosra fulat el tuh sang nu selos ac sang nu sel governor ac mwet pwapa lun acn Roto-in-Euphrates, na mwet inge elos oru pac kasru lalos nu sin mwet uh ac nu ke alu in Tempul.
And they delivered the king's commissions to the king's lieutenants, and to the governors on this side of the river: and they furthered the people, and the house of God.
