King Nebuchadnezzar’s [soldiers] had captured many [Israeli] people and taken them to Babylonia. [Many years later, ] some Israeli people returned to Judah. Some returned to Jerusalem, and some returned to [other places in] Judah. They went to the towns where their ancestors had lived. This is a list of the groups who returned.

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.

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 Pinai’ iareo o famoliliam-piantoño’ iareoo, fe tsy nahaisake; aa le natao ho maleotse vaho nafahañe tsy hitolon-ko mpisoroñe.
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 Le nanao ty hoe am’iereo t’i Tirsatà: Tsy mete mikama amo raha niava-do’eo iereo ampara’ te miongake ty mpisoroñe reketse orime naho tomime.
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 I valobohòke zay le efats’ ale-tsi-ro’ arivo-tsi-telonjato-tsi-enempolo,
Altogether 42,360 Israeli people who returned to Judah.
65 mbe tovo’ izay o mpitoro’eo naho o anak’ ampata’eo, ie nitontoñe ho fito-arivo-tsi-telonjato-tsi-telopolo-fito’ amby; vaho am’iereo ao ty lahilahy mpisabo naho rakemba mpisabo roanjato.
There were also 7,337 servants and 200 musicians, both men and women, who returned.

The Israelis brought with them [from Babylonia] 736 horses, 245 mules,

68 Tamo talèn-droae niheo mb’añ anjomba’ Iehovà e Ierosalaimeo, ty nanolotse an-tsatrin’ arofo, hampitroarañe i anjomban’ Añaharey an-toe’e eo;
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 tinolo’iereo amy fanontoñam-pitoloñañey an-kalefeañe ty volamena bogady eneñ’ ale-tsi-arivo naho volafoty minà lime-arivo naho sarìmbom-pisoroñe, 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 Aa le nimoneñe amo rova’ iareoo ty ila’ o mpisoroñeo naho o nte-Levio naho ondatio naho o mpisaboo naho o mpañambeñeo naho o mpitoron-kivohoo; le songa nimoneñe amy rova’ey t’Israele.
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.
