Ezra 8
1 Irezao ro mpiaolon-droae naho ty fiantoño’ o nindre amako boak’ am-pifehea’ i Artaksastà mpanjaka, nionjomb’eo boake Baveleo:
Now these are the chiefs of their divisions, and this is the genealogy of those that went up with me, in the reign of king Artaxerxes, from Babylon.
2 Tamo ana’ i Pinekaseo: i Gersome; amo ana’ Itamareo, i Daniele; tamo ana’ i Davideo, i Hatose.
Of these sons of Phinehas, Gershom; of the sons of Ithamar, Daniel; of the sons of David, Chattush;
3 Tamo ana’ i Sekaniào, amo ana’ i Paroseo, i Zekarià reketse ty zato-tsi-limampolo nivolilieñe ami’ty fiantoño’ o lahilahio.
Of the sons of Shechanyah, [who was] of the sons of Par'osh, Zechariah; and with him were recorded by genealogy of males one hundred and fifty.
4 Tamo ana’ i Pakate-moabeo; i Elihoenay ana’ i Zerakià reketse ty lahilahy roanjato.

13 Le tamo ana’ i Adonikameo, o tsitso’eo; zao o tahina’eo, i Elifelete, Ieiele naho i Semaià, reketse ty lahilahy enempolo.
And of the sons of Adonikam the last; and those are their names, Eliphelet, Je'iel, and Shema'yah, and with them were sixty males.
14 Le tamo ana’ i Bigvaio, i Otay naho i Zakore, reketse ty lahilahy fitompolo.
And of the sons of Bigvai, 'Uthai, and Zabbur, and with them were seventy males.
15 Le hene natontoko amy saka mivariñe mb’e Ahava mb’eoy; naho nitobe eo telo andro, nisary ondatio naho o mpisoroñeo fe leo raik’ amo nte-Levio tsy nizoeñe ao.
And I gathered them together to the river that runneth into the Ahava, and we encamped there three days: and I looked about among the people, and the priests, but of the sons of Levi I found none there.
16 Aa le tinokako t’i Eliezere, i Ariele, i Semaià naho i Elnatane naho Iaribe naho i Elnatane naho i Natane naho i Zekarià naho i Mesolame, mpiaolo; naho Ioiaribe vaho i Elnatane, mpañoke.
Then sent I for Eli'ezer, for Ariel, for Shema'yah, and for Elnathan, and for Jarib, and for Elnathan, and for Nathan, and for Zechariah, and for Meshullam, the head men; also for Joyarib, and for Elnathan, men of understanding.
17 Le nafantoko am’iareo ty homb’ amy Ido mpiaolo mb’an-toetse atao Kasifia naho vinolako am’iereo ty ho asa’ iareo amy Ido naho amo rahalahi’e mitoroñe an-toe’ i Kasifiao, ty hinday mpitoroñe mb’amy anjomban’ Añaharey.
And I sent them with a charge unto Iddo the chief at the place Cassiphia, and I laid the words in their mouth to speak unto Iddo, and to his brother, who were appointed at the place Cassiphia, that they should bring unto us ministers for the house of our God.
18 Aa ty am-pitàn-tsoan’ Añahare’ay ama’ay le nandesa’ iareo ondaty mahihitse, ty ana’ i Maklý, ana’ i Levy, ana’ Israele, toe i Serebià rekets’ o ana’eo naho o rahalahi’eo, folo-valo’ amby;
And they brought unto us according to the good hand of our God upon us a man of intelligence, of the sons of Machli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel, namely, Sherebyah, with his sons and his brothers, eighteen;
19 naho i Kasabià; le nindre ama’e t’Iesaià tamo ana’ i Merario, o rahalahy naho ana-dahi’ iareoo, roapolo;
And Chashabyah, and with him Jesha'yah of the sons of Merari, his brothers and their sons, twenty.
20 vaho tamo nte-Natoneo, o natolo’ i Davide naho o roandriañeo am-pitoroñañe o nte-Levio; nte-Natone roan-jato-tsi-roapolo songa tinoñoñe amy tahina’ey.
Also of the temple-servants, whom David and the princes had assigned for the service of the Levites two hundred and twenty temple-servants, all of whom were expressed by names.
21 Aa le nitsey fililiran-draho an-tsaka Ahavà eo, hiambanea’ay añatrefan’ Añahare’ay, hipay ama’e ty lalan-tsoa ho anay naho o keleia’aio vaho o vara’ay iabio.
Then did I proclaim a fast there, at the river Ahava, that we might afflict ourselves before our God, to request from him a prosperous journey for us, and for our little ones, and for all our substance.
22 Fa ho nisalatse iraho te nihalaly firimboñan-dahindefoñe naho mpiningi-tsoavala amy mpanjakay, hañolora’e anay amo malaso an-dalañeo; ie fa nisaontsy amy mpanjakay, ty hoe: Ty fitàn’ Añahare’ay ro amo mipay aze iabio ho an-kasoa; fe atreatré’e an-kaozarañe naho an-kaviñerañe o mamorintseñe azeo.
For I was ashamed to ask of the king an army and horsemen to assist us against an enemy on the way; because we had spoken unto the king, saying, The hand of our God is upon all those that seek him for good; but his power and his wrath are against all those that forsake him.
23 Aa le ie ty nililira’ay te nitsoek’ an’ Andrianañahare’ay; vaho vinale’e i halali’aiy.
So we fasted and besought our God for this, and he suffered himself to be entreated by us.
24 Aa le navìko ty mpiaolom-pisoroñe folo-ro’amby—i Serebià naho i Kasabià vaho ty folo amo longo’ iareoo.
Then set I apart of the chiefs of the priests twelve persons, Sherebyah, Chashabyah, and with them ten of their brethren.
25 Le linanjako am’ iereo i volafotiy naho i volamenay naho o fanakeo, i nengae’ i mpanjakay naho o mpanolo-keve’eo naho o roandria’eo naho o nte-Israele teo iabio, amy anjomban’ Añahare’aiy.
And I weighed out unto them the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, the offering for the house of our God, which the king, and his counsellors, and his princes, and all Israel there present, had offered.
26 Eka, linanjako am-pità’ iareo ty volafoty talenta enen-jato-tsi-limampolo naho ty fanake volafoty talenta zato naho ty volamena talenta zato;
And I weighed out into their hand of silver six hundred and fifty talents, and of silver vessels one hundred talents, of gold one hundred talents;
27 naho koveta volamena roapolo, vilin-drala arivo; naho fanake roe an-torisike mikinokinoke, mañeva volamena.
Also twenty cups of gold, of a thousand drachms; and two vessels of fine polished copper, valuable as gold.
28 Le hoe ty asako am’ iereo, Miavake ho amy Iehovà nahareo, miavake ka o fanakeo; vaho nengaeñe an-tsatrin’ arofo am’ Iehovà Andrianañaharen-droae’ areo i volafotiy naho i volamenay.
And I said unto them, Ye are holy unto the Lord; and the vessels are holy; and the silver and the gold are a freewill offering unto the Lord the God of your fathers.
29 Ijilovo naho ambeno ampara’ t’ie lanjae’ areo amo mpiaolom-pisoroñeo naho amo nte-Levio naho amo roandrian’ anjomban-droae’ Israeleo e Ierosalaime añ’efen’ anjomba’ Iehovà ao.
Watch ye, and guard them, until ye weigh them out before the chiefs of the priests and the Levites, and the chiefs of the divisions of Israel, at Jerusalem, into the chambers of the house of the Lord.
30 Aa le rinambe’ i mpisoroñe naho nte-Levy rey i volafoty naho volamena linanjay naho o fanakeo hendesa’ iareo mb’e Ierosalaime añe mb’añ’ anjomban’ Añahare’ay mb’eo.
And the priests and the Levites accepted what was weighed out of the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, to bring the same to Jerusalem to the house of our God.
31 Aa le nienga i saka Ahavay zahay amy andro faha folo-ro’ambi’ i volam-baloha’eiy nionjone mb’e Ierosalaime mb’eo; naho tama’ay ty fitàn’Añahare’ay vaho rinomba’e am-pitàn-drafelahi’ay naho amy ze niampitse an-dalañe,
And we departed from the river Ahava on the twelfth day of the first month, to go unto Jerusalem: and the hand of our God was over us, and he delivered us from the hand of any enemy, and of such as lie in wait on the way.
32 le nivotrake e Ierosalaime ao vaho nitofa telo andro.
And we came to Jerusalem, and remained there three days.
33 Ie amy andro fahefatsey le nandanja i volafotiy naho i volamenay naho o fanakeo, añ’anjomban’ Añahare’ay am-pità’ i Meremote, ana’ i Orià mpisoroñe; nindre tama’e t’i Elazare, ana’ i Pinekase; le nimpiama’ iareo t’Iozabade ana’ Iesoà naho i Noadià, ana’ i Binoy, songa nte-Levy;
And on the fourth day were the silver and the gold and the vessels weighed out in the house of our God into the hand of Meremoth the son of Uriyah the priest; and with him was El'azar the son of Phinehas; and with them was Jozabad the son of Jeshua', and No'adyah the son of Binnui, the Levites;
34 ie iaby ami’ty ia’e naho an-danja’e; le sinokitse henane zay iaby i lanja’ey.
By number and by weight of everything: and all the weight was written down at the same time.
35 Nañenga soroñe aman’ Añahare’ Israele o anam-pandrohizañe niboak’ am-paneseañeo, bania folo-ro’amby ho a Israele iaby, añondrilahy sivampolo-eneñ’ amby, vik’añondry fitompolo-fito’ amby vaho oselahy folo-ro’amby ho engan-kakeo; hene nisoroñañe am’ Iehovà.
Those that came out of the captivity, the children of the exile, offered burnt-offerings unto the God of Israel, twelve bullocks for all Israel, ninety and six rams, seventy and seven sheep, twelve he-goats for a sin-offering: all as burnt-offerings unto the Lord.
36 Le natolo’ iareo amo mpizaka’ i mpanjakaio naho amo mpifehe alafe’ i Sakaio i nampañitrifañey, vaho nimbae’ iereo ondatio naho i anjomban’ Añaharey.
And they delivered the king's commands unto the king's lieutenants, and to the governors on this side of the river; and these endowed the people, and the house of God.
