Ezra 8
1 Ary izao no lohan’ ny fianakaviana sy filazana ny firazanan’ ny olona izay niara-niakatra tamiko avy tany Babylona tamin’ ny nanjakan’ i Artaksersesy mpanjaka:
And these [are] heads of their fathers, and the genealogy of those going up with me, in the reign of Artaxerxes the king, from Babylon.

And from the sons of Azgad: Johanan son of Hakkatan, and with him one hundred and ten who are males.
13 ary ny avy tamin’ ny taranak’ i Adonikama, zandriny taoriana ireo, ary izao no anarany: Elifeleta sy Jeiela sy Semaia mbamin’ ny namany enim-polo lahy,
And from the younger sons of Adonikam—and these [are] their names—Eliphelet, Jeiel, and Shemaiah, and with them sixty who are males.
14 Otahy sy Zaboda, avy tamin’ ny taranak’ i Bigvay, mbamin’ ny namany fito-polo lahy.
And from the sons of Bigvai, Uthai and Zabbud, and with them seventy who are males.
15 Ary novoriko teo amoron’ ny ony mankany Ahava izy, ka nilasy teo hateloana izahay; ary nony nandinika ny olona sy ny mpisorona aho, dia nahita fa tsy nisy taranak’ i Levy teo na dia iray akory aza.
And I gather them to the river that is going to Ahava, and we encamp there three days; and I consider about the people, and about the priests, and of the sons of Levi I have found none there;
16 Ka dia nirahiko Eliezera sy Ariela sy Semaia sy Elnatana sy Jariba sy Elnatana sy Natana sy Zakaria sy Mesolama (samy loholona ireo) ary Joariba sy Elnatana (samy mpampianatra ireo).
and I send for Eliezer, for Ariel, for Shemaiah, and for Elnathan, and for Jarib, and for Elnathan, and for Nathan, and for Zechariah, and for Meshullam, heads, and for Joiarib, and for Elnathan, men of understanding;
17 Ary nampitondraiko teny ho any amin’ Ido, loholona any Kasifia, ireo, ka nambarako azy izay teny holazainy amin’ Ido sy ny Netinima rahalahiny any Kasifia, mba ho entiny any aminay izay ho mpanao fanompoam-pivavahana ao an-tranon’ Andriamanitray.
and I charge them for Iddo the head, in the place Casiphia, and put in their mouth words to speak to Iddo, [and] his brothers the Nethinim, in the place Casiphia, to bring to us servants for the house of our God.
18 Ary araka ny soa nataon’ ny tànan’ Andriamanitray taminay no nitondrany olon-kendry anankiray ho any aminay avy tamin’ ny taranak’ i Maly, zanak’ i Levy, zanak’ Isiraely, ary Serebia, sy ny zanany mbamin’ ny rahalahiny, valo ambin’ ny folo lahy,
And they bring to us, according to the good hand of our God on us, a man of understanding, of the sons of Mahli, son of Levi, son of Israel, and Sherebiah, and his sons, and his brothers, eighteen;
19 ary Hasabia sy Jesaia, avy tamin’ ny taranak’ i Merary, mbamin’ ny rahalahiny ary ny zanany roa-polo lahy;
and Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah, of the sons of Merari, his brothers, and their sons, twenty;
20 ary avy tamin’ ny Netinima, izay notendren’ i Davida sy ny mpanapaka hanompo ny Levita, dia roa-polo amby roan-jato lahy; notononina anarana avokoa ireo.
and from the Nethinim, whom David and the heads gave for the service of the Levites, two hundred and twenty Nethinim, all of them defined by name.
21 Dia niantso andro fifadian-kanina aho teo amoron’ ny ony Ahava hampahorianay tena eo anatrehan’ Andriamanitray, mba hangataka Azy hahalavorary ny dianay sy ny an’ ny vady aman-janakay ary ny biby fiompinay rehetra.
And I proclaim there a fast, by the river Ahava, to afflict ourselves before our God, to seek from Him a right way for us, and for our infants, and for all our substance,
22 Fa nahamenatra ahy ny hangataka miaramila sy mpitaingin-tsoavaly amin’ ny mpanjaka hiaro anay amin’ ny fahavalonay eny an-dalana, satria efa niteny tamin’ ny mpanjaka izahay ka nanao hoe: Sy tànan’ Andriamanitray mahasoa izay rehetra mitady Azy; fa ny heriny sy ny fahatezerany kosa mamely izay rehetra mahafoy Azy.
for I was ashamed to ask from the king a force and horsemen to help us because of the enemy in the way, for we spoke to the king, saying, “The hand of our God [is] on all seeking Him for good, and His strength and His wrath [is] on all forsaking Him.”
23 Ary nifady hanina izahay ka nangataka izany tamin’ Andriamanitray, dia nihaino anay Izy.
And we fast, and seek from our God for this, and He accepts our plea.
24 Ary nanokana roa ambin’ ny folo lahy tamin’ ny lohan’ ny mpisorona aho, dia Serebia sy Hasabia ary rahalahiny folo lahy ho namany,
And I separate from the heads of the priests, twelve, even Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and with them of their brothers ten,
25 ka nolanjaiko ny volafotsy sy ny volamena horaisiny mbamin’ ny fanaka, dia ny fanatitra ho ao an-tranon’ Andriamanitray, izay efa naterin’ ny mpanjaka sy ireo mpanolotsainy sy ireo mpanapaka ary ny Isiraely rehetra izay vory teo;
and I weigh to them the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, a raised-offering of the house of our God, that the king, and his counselors, and his heads, and all Israel—those present—lifted up;
26 eny, nolanjaiko hatolotra azy ny talenta volafotsy dimam-polo amby enin-jato sy fanaka volafotsy, lanjan’ ny talenta zato, ary talenta volamena zato
and I weigh to their hand six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and one hundred talents of vessels of silver, one hundred talents of gold,
27 sy kapoaka volamena misarona roa-polo, lanjan’ ny darika arivo, ary fanaka varahina roa manganohano, tsara toy ny volamena.
and twenty basins of gold, of one thousand drams, and two vessels of good shining bronze, desirable as gold.
28 Ary hoy izaho taminy: Hianareo dia masìna ho an’ i Jehovah, sady masìna koa ny fanaka; ary ny volafotsy sy ny volamena dia fanati-tsitrapo ho an’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razanareo.
And I say to them, “You [are] holy to YHWH, and the vessels [are] holy, and the silver and the gold [are] a willing-offering to YHWH, God of your fathers;
29 Koa miambena ianareo, ka tandremo ireny mandra-pandanianareo azy indray eo anatrehan’ ny lohan’ ny mpisorona sy ny Levita ary ny lohan’ ny fianakaviana amin’ ny Isiraely any Jerosalema, dia amin’ ny efi-trano ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah.
watch, and keep, until you weigh before the heads of the priests, and of the Levites, and the heads of the fathers of Israel, in Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of YHWH.”
30 Dia noraisin’ ny mpisorona sy ny Levita izany volafotsy sy volamena ary fanaka voalanja izany mba ho entiny ho any Jerosalema ho ao an-tranon’ Andriamanitray.
And the priests and the Levites took the weight of the silver, and of the gold, and of the vessels, to bring to Jerusalem to the house of our God.
31 Dia niala teo amin’ ny ony Ahava izahay tamin’ ny andro faharoa ambin’ ny folo tamin’ ny volana voalohany mba hankany Jerosalema; ary ny tànan’ Andriamanitray nomba anay, ka Izy no namonjy anay tamin’ ny tanan’ ny fahavalo sy ny mpanotrika teny an-dalana.
And we journey from the river Ahava, on the twelfth of the first month, to go to Jerusalem, and the hand of our God has been on us, and He delivers us from the hand of the enemy and the one lying in wait by the way;
32 Ary nony tonga tany Jerosalema izahay, dia nijanona hateloana aloha.
and we come to Jerusalem, and dwell there three days.
33 Ary tamin’ ny andro fahefatra no nandanjana ny volafotsy sy ny volamena ary ny fanaka ho eo an-tànan’ i Meremota, zanak’ i Oria mpisorona, tao an-tranon’ Andriamanitray; ary teo aminy koa Eleazara, zanak’ i Finehasa; ary teo amin’ izy roa lahy koa Jozabada, zanak’ i Jesoa, sy Noadia, zanak’ i Binoy; Levita izy roa lahy ireo;
And on the fourth day has been weighed the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, in the house of our God, to the hand of Meremoth son of Uriah the priest, and with him Eleazar son of Phinehas, and with them Jozabad son of Jeshua, and Noadiah son of Binnui, the Levites:
34 an-isany sy an-danjany izany rehetra izany; ary voasoratra tamin’ izany andro izany ny lanjany rehetra.
by number, by weight of everyone, and all the weight is written at that time.
35 Ary ny olona izay niverina avy tamin’ ny fahababoana dia nanatitra fanatitra dorana ho an’ Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, dia vantotr’ ombilahy roa ambin’ ny folo ho an’ ny Isiraely rehetra sy ondrilahy enina amby sivifolo sy zanak’ ondry fito amby fito-polo ary osilahy roa ambin’ ny folo ho fanatitra noho ny ota: fanatitra dorana ho an’ i Jehovah ireo rehetra ireo.
Those coming in of the captives—sons of the expulsion—have brought burnt-offerings near to the God of Israel: twelve bullocks for all Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, twelve young male goats for a sin-offering—the whole a burnt-offering to YHWH;
36 Ary ny didin’ ny mpanjaka dia natolony tamin’ ny solo-mpanjaka sy ny mpanapaka tamin’ ny etỳ an-dafin’ ny ony etỳ; ary izy ireo nampandroso ny olona sy ny tranon’ Andriamanitra.
and they give the laws of the king to the lieutenants of the king and the governors beyond the river, and they have lifted up the people and the house of God.
