Ezra 2
1 Ary izao no olona amin’ izany tany izany izay niakatra avy amin’ ny fahababoana, izay nobaboin’ i Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan’ i Babylona, ka nentiny ho any Babylona, ary niverina ho any Jerosalema sy Joda, samy ho any an-tanànany avy,

59 Ary izao no niakatra avy tany Tela-mela sy Tela-harsa sy Keroba sy Adana ary Imera (fa tsy nahalaza ny fianakaviany sy ny firazanany izy, na avy tamin’ ny Isiraely, na tsia):
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.
60 ny taranak’ i Delaia, ny taranak’ i Tobia, ny taranak’ i Nekoda, dia roa amby dimam-polo amby enin-jato.

Hobaiah’s clan, Hakkoz’s clan, and Barzillai’s clan also returned. Barzillai had married a woman who was a descendant of Barzillai from [the] Gilead [region], and he had taken for himself the name of his father-in-law’s clan.
62 Ireo no nitady ny soratra filazana ny razany, fa tsy hita izany; dia natao ho tsy madio izy ka nesorina tamin’ ny fisoronana.
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 Ary ny governora nilaza taminy fa tsy mahazo mihinana ny zavatra masìna indrindra izy mandra-pitsangan’ izay mpisorona anankiray mitondra ny Orima sy Tomima.
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.
64 Ny tontalin’ ny olona rehetra dia enim-polo amby telon-jato amby roa arivo sy efatra alina,
Altogether 42,360 Israeli people who returned to Judah.
65 afa-tsy ny ankizilahiny sy ny ankizivaviny fito amby telo-polo amby telon-jato sy fito arivo; ary nisy mpihiralahy sy mpihiravavy roan-jato teo aminy;
There were also 7,337 servants and 200 musicians, both men and women, who returned.
66 ny soavaliny dia enina amby telo-polo amby fiton-jato; ny ampondrany dia dimy amby efa-polo amby roan-jato;
The Israelis brought with them [from Babylonia] 736 horses, 245 mules,
67 ny ramevany dia dimy amby telo-polo amby efa-jato; ny borikiny dia roa-polo amby fiton-jato sy enina arivo.
435 camels, and 6,720 donkeys.
68 Ary ny sasany tamin’ ny lohan’ ny fianakaviana, rehefa tonga tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah tany Jerosalema, dia nanatitra tamin’ ny sitrapo hananganana ny tranon’ Andriamanitra eo amin’ ilay efa niorenany.
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 Nanome araka izay nananany avy izy hanampy ny vola voavory hanaovana ny asa, dia darika volamena arivo sy enina alina ary mane volafotsy dimy arivo ary akanjo-mpisorona zato.
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 Ary samy tafapetraka teny an-tanànany avy ny mpisorona sy ny Levita sy ny sasany tamin’ ny vahoaka sy ny mpihira sy ny mpiandry varavarana ary ny Netinima, dia ny Isiraely rehetra samy tao an-tanànany avy.
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.
