1 राजा नबूकदनेसरको निर्वासनबाट छुटेर फर्कने प्रान्तमा भएका मानिसहरू यिनै हुन् जसलाई तिनले बेबिलोनमा कैद गरेर लगेका थिए । यी मानिसहरू यरूशलेम र यहूदियामा आ-आफ्ना सहरहरूमा फर्के ।
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.

59 तेल-मेलह, तेल-हर्शा, केरूब, आदोन र इम्मेर सहरबाट आएकाहरूले आफ्ना पुर्खाहरू इस्राएलको वंशबाट आएका हुन् भनेर बताउन सकेनन् । यी हुन्:
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 दलायाह, तोबिया, नकोदाका परिवारहरूका जम्मा ६५२,
This group included 652 people who were descendants of Delaiah, Tobiah, and Nekoda.
61 र पुजारीहरूबाट: होबायाहका, हक्कोसका र बर्जिल्लै (तिनले गिलादी बर्जिल्लैका छोरीहरूमध्ये एउटीलाई विवाह गरे र तिनीहरूका नाउँ राखे) परिवार ।
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 तिनीहरूले आफ्नो वंशावलीका विवरणहरू खोजे, तर ति फेला पार्न सकेनन्, त्यसैले तिनीहरूलाई अशुद्ध ठानेर पुजारीको काममा समावेश गरिएन ।
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 त्यसैले ऊरीम र तुम्मीमको सेवा गर्ने एक जना पुजारीले अनुमोदन नगरेसम्म तिनीहरूले पवित्र बलिदानका कुनै पनि थोक खानुहुँदैन भनी गभर्नरले तिनीहरूलाई बताए ।
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 सम्पूर्ण समुहको जम्मा सङ्ख्या ४२,३६० थियो,
Altogether 42,360 Israeli people who returned to Judah.
65 यसमा तिनीहरूका नोकर-नोकर्नीहरू (७,३३७ जना) र तिनीहरूका मन्दिरका गायक-गायिकाहरू समावेश थिएन ।
There were also 7,337 servants and 200 musicians, both men and women, who returned.
66 तिनीहरूका घोडाहरू ७३६ । खच्चरहरू २४५ ।
The Israelis brought with them [from Babylonia] 736 horses, 245 mules,
67 ऊँटहरू ४३५ । गधाहरू ६,७२० थिए ।
435 camels, and 6,720 donkeys.
68 जब तिनीहरू यरूशलेममा परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा गए, मुख्य पुर्खाहरूले मन्दिर निर्माणको लागि स्वेच्छा भेटीहरू चढाए ।
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 तिनीहरूले आ-आफ्नो औकातअनुसार कामको लागि रुपियाँ-पैसा दिएः ६१,००० सुनका सिक्का, ५,००० चाँदीका सिक्का र पुजारीको १०० ओटा अलखाहरू ।
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 यसरी पुजारी र लेवीहरू, मानिसहरू, मन्दिरका गायकहरू र द्वारपालहरूसाथै मन्दिरमा सेवा गर्न नियुक्त गरिएकाहरू आ-आफ्ना सहरहरूमा बसोबास गरे । इस्राएलका सबै मानिस आ-आफ्ना सहरहरूमा थिए ।
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.
