Also Eliphelet, Jeuel, and Shemaiah, who returned [here] later with 60 men from the clan descended from Adonikam
14 Un no Biģevajus bērniem: Utajus un Zabuds, un ar tiem septiņdesmit no vīriešu kārtas.
And Uthai and Zaccur and 70 other men from the clan descended from Bigvai.
15 Un es tos sapulcēju pie tās upes, kas tek uz Aķevu, un mēs tur apmetāmies trīs dienas. Tad es lūkoju uz tiem ļaudīm un priesteriem un neatradu neviena no Levja bērniem.
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 Tad es sūtīju tos virsniekus, Eliēzeru un Ariēlu un Šemaju un Elnatanu un Jaribu un Elnatanu un Nātanu un Zahariju un Mešulamu, un tos mācītājus Jojaribu un Elnatanu,
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 Un sūtīju tos ar pavēli pie virsnieka Idus uz Kasifju. Un es liku tos vārdus viņu mute, ko tiem bija runāt uz Idu un viņa brāļiem, Dieva nama kalpotājiem Kazpijā, mums atvest kalpus priekš mūsu Dieva nama.
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 Un tā, kā mūsu Dieva labā roka bija pār mums, tie mums atveda IžZekelu no Maēlas, Levja dēla, Israēla dēla, bērniem, un Šerebiju ar viņa dēliem un viņa brāļiem, astoņpadsmit,
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 Un Hašabiju un arī Jezaju no Merarus bērniem, ar viņa brāļiem un ar viņa dēliem, divdesmit,
They also sent to us Hashabiah, along with Jeshaiah, descendants of [Levi’s son] Merari, and 20 of their relatives.
20 Un no tiem Dieva nama kalpotājiem, ko Dāvids un tie lielkungi bija pielikuši kalpot levitiem, divsimt un divdesmit, kas visi ar vārdu tika nosaukti.
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 Tad es tur izsaucu gavēni pie Aķevas upes, ka mums bija pazemoties priekš sava Dieva vaiga un no viņa meklēt labu ceļu sev un saviem bērniem un visām savām mantām.
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 Jo man bija kauns, no ķēniņa lūgties karaspēku un jātniekus, kas mums palīdzētu ceļā pret ienaidniekiem. Jo mēs uz ķēniņu bijām runājuši sacīdami: mūsu Dieva roka ir pār visiem, kas viņu meklē, tiem par labu, bet viņa spēks un bardzība pret visiem, kas no viņa atkāpjas.
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 Tā mēs gavējām un lūdzām savu Dievu, un viņš mūs paklausīja.
So we (fasted/abstained from eating food) and requested God to protect us, and he (answered our prayers/did what we requested.)
24 Un es atšķīru divpadsmit no priestera virsniekiem, Šerebiju, Hašabiju, un desmit no viņu brāļiem līdz ar viņiem.
I chose twelve of the leaders of the priests, Sherebiah and Hashabiah and ten of their relatives.
25 Un es tiem iesvēru to sudrabu un zeltu un tos traukus par cilājamo upuri mūsu Dieva namam, ko ķēniņš un viņa padoma devēji un viņa lielkungi un viss Israēls, cik atradās, bija dāvinājuši.
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 Es tad viņiem rokā iesvēru sešsimt piecdesmit talentus sudraba un simts talentus sudraba trauku un simts talentus zelta,
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 Un divdesmit zelta biķerus, tūkstoš drakmu vērtībā, un divus vara traukus no spoža laba vara, skaistus kā no zelta.
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 Un es uz tiem sacīju: jūs esat svēti Tam Kungam, un tie trauki ir svēti līdz ar to sudrabu un zeltu, kas ir labprātības dāvana Tam Kungam, jūsu tēvu Dievam.
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 Esiet modrīgi un glabājiet to, kamēr jūs to iesverat priesteru un levitu virsniekiem un Israēla cilts virsniekiem Jeruzālemē Dieva nama kambaros.
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 Tad tie priesteri un leviti ņēma to iesvērto zeltu un sudrabu un tos traukus, tos nest uz Jeruzālemi uz mūsu Dieva namu.
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 Un mēs aizgājām no Aķevas upes pirmā mēneša divpadsmitā dienā, iedami uz Jeruzālemi, un mūsu Dieva roka bija pār mums un mūs izglāba no ienaidnieku rokas, un no tiem, kas ceļā uz mums glūnēja.
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 Un mēs nonācām Jeruzālemē un palikām tur trīs dienas.
After we arrived in Jerusalem, we rested for three days.
33 Un ceturtā dienā mēs iesvērām to sudrabu un zeltu un tos traukus mūsu Dieva namā Ūrijas dēlam, priesterim Meremotam rokā, un līdz ar viņu Eleazaram, Pinehas dēlam, un līdz ar viņiem Jozabadam, Ješuūs dēlam, un Noadijam, Benujus dēlam, levitiem,
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 Pēc skaita un svara no visa, un viss tas svars tai laikā tapa uzrakstīts.
They counted everything, and wrote down how much they weighed, and wrote [a description of] each item.
35 Un to aizvesto bērni, kas no cietuma bija pārnākuši, upurēja dedzināmos upurus Israēla Dievam, divpadsmit vēršus priekš visa Israēla, deviņdesmit sešus aunus, septiņdesmit septiņas avis, divpadsmit āžus par grēku upuri, visu par dedzināmo upuri Tam Kungam.
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 Un tie atdeva ķēniņa pavēles ķēniņa zemes valdītājiem un zemes soģiem viņpus upes. Un šie aizstāvēja tos ļaudis un Dieva namu.
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.
