1 १ बाबेलचा राजा नबुखद्नेस्सराने बाबेलास नेलेले यरूशलेम आणि यहूदा प्रांतातील बंद कैदी मुक्त होऊन आपापल्या नगरात परतले.
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.

These descendants of [King] Solomon’s servants [returned]: Sotai, Hassophereth, Peruda,

Altogether, there were 392 temple workers and descendants of Solomon’s servants who returned.
59 ५९ तेल-मेलह, तेल-हर्षा, करुब, अद्दान, इम्मेर या ठिकाणांहून काहीजण यरूशलेमेला आले होते पण आपण इस्राएलाच्या वंशातलेच पूर्वज आहोत हे ते सिद्ध करू शकले नाहीत.
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.
This group included 652 people who were descendants of Delaiah, Tobiah, and Nekoda.
61 ६१ आणि याजकांचे वंशज: हबया, हक्कोस, बर्जिल्ल्य (ज्याने बर्जिल्ल्य गिलादी याच्या मुलींपैकी एक मुलगी पत्नी करून घेतली होती आणि त्यास त्याचे नाव पडले होते.)
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 ६२ आपल्या घराण्याची वंशावळ त्यांनी नोंदपुस्तकात शोधून पाहिली पण त्यांना ती सापडली नाही म्हणून त्यांनी त्यांचे याजकपण अशुद्ध केले.
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 ६३ याकरीता अधिपतीने त्यांना सांगितले की, उरीम व थुम्मीम घातलेला याजक मंजूर होईपर्यंत त्यांनी पवित्र अर्पण खाऊ नये.
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.
Altogether 42,360 Israeli people who returned to Judah.
65 ६५ त्यामध्ये त्यांच्या सात हजार तीनशे सदतीस दासदासी यांचा आणि मंदिरातील दोनशे गायकांचा यांचा समावेश नाही.
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,
435 camels, and 6,720 donkeys.
68 ६८ हे सर्वजण यरूशलेमेत परमेश्वराच्या मंदिराजवळ आले. मग अनेक घराण्याच्या प्रमुखांनी मंदिराच्या बांधकामासाठी खुशीने भेटी दिल्या.
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 ६९ या वास्तूच्या कामासाठी त्यांनी आपल्या शक्तीप्रमाणे दिलेली दाने ती अशी: सोने एकसष्ट हजार दारिक, चांदी पाच हजार माने, आणि याजकांचे झगे शंभर.
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 ७० याप्रकारे याजक, लेवी आणि इतर काही लोक, गायक, द्वारपाल आणि ज्यांना मंदिरातील सेवा नेमून दिली होती ते आपापल्या नगरांत राहिले. इस्राएलातील सर्व लोक आपापल्या नगरांत वस्ती करून राहिले.
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.
