And of the sons of Adonicam [were the] last, and these [were] their names, Eliphalat, Jeel, and Samaea, and with them sixty males.

14 बिग्‍वैको परिवारका– उत्तै र जक्‍कूर, र तिनीहरूसँग ७० पुरुष थिए ।

And of the sons of Baguae, Uthai, and Zabud, and with him seventy males.

15 मैले यात्रुहरूलाई अहावातिर बग्‍ने नहरमा जम्मा गरें, र हामीले त्यहाँ तिन दिनसम्म छाउनी हाल्‍यौं । मैले मानिसहरू र पुजारीहरूको जाँच गरें तर त्यहाँ लेवीका सन्तानहरू कोही पनि पाइनँ ।

And I gathered them to the river that comes to Evi, and we encamped there three days: and I reviewed the people and the priests, and found none of the sons of Levi there.

16 त्यसैले एलीएजर, अरीएल, शमायाह, एल्‍नातान, यारीब र एल्‍नातान र नातान, जकरिया र मशुल्‍लाम जो अगुवाहरू थिए, अनि योयारीब र एल्‍नातान जो शिक्षकहरू थिए, तिनीहरूलाई मैले बोलाएँ ।

And I sent men of understanding to Eleazar, to Ariel, to Semeias, and to Alonam, and to Jarib, and to Elnatham, and to Nathan, and to Zacharias, and to Mesollam, and to Joarim, and to Elnathan.

17 त्यसपछि मैले तिनीहरूलाई कासिपियाका अगुवा इद्दोकहाँ पठाएँ । इद्दो र तिनका आफन्तहरू, कासिपियामा बसिरहेका मन्दिरका सेवकहरूकहाँ गएर हामीकहाँ परमेश्‍वरको मन्दिरका लागि सेवकहरू पठाइदिनुहोस् भनी तिनीहरूलाई भन्‍न लगाएँ ।

And I forwarded them to the rulers with the money of the place, and I put words in their mouth to speak to their brethren the Athinim with the money of the place, that they should bring us singers for the house of our God.

18 त्यसैले हाम्रा परमेश्‍वरको भलो गर्ने हातद्वारा तिनीहरूले बुद्धिमान् मानिस शरेबियाहलाई हामीकहाँ पठाइदिए । तिनी इस्राएलका छोरा लेवीका छोरा महलीका परिवारका थिए । तिनी अठार छोरा र दाजुभाइसँगै आए ।

And they came to us, as the good hand of our God was upon us, even a man of understanding of the sons of Mooli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel, and at the commencement came his sons and his brethren, eighteen.

19 तिनीसँगै हशब्याह पनि आए । त्यहाँ मरारीका छोराहरूमध्येका एक अर्थात् यशयाह र तिनका दाजुभाइ र तिनीहरूका छोराहरू गरी जम्मा बिस जना पुरुष थिए ।

And Asebia, and Isaia of the sons of Merari, his brethren and his sons, twenty.

20 दाऊद र तिनका अधिकारीहरूले लेवीहरूलाई सहायता गर्न मन्दिरमा सेवा गर्ने यस्ता सेवकहरूको नियुक्त गरेका, २२० जना त्यस्ता मानिसहरूको पनि नाउँ दर्ता गरिए ।

And of the Nathinim; whom David and the princes had appointed for the service of the Levites [there were] two hundred and twenty Nathinim; all were gathered by [their] names.

21 त्यसपछि परमप्रभुको सामु आफैलाई विनम्र तुल्याउन, र हामी, हाम्रा बालबच्‍चा अनि हाम्रा सबै सम्पत्तिको लागि सोझो मार्गको खोजी गर्न मैले अहावा नहरमा उपवासको घोषणा गरें ।

And I proclaimed there a fast, at the river Aue, that [we] should humble ourselves before our God, to seek of him a straight way for us, and for our children, and for all our property.

22 बाटोमा शत्रुहरूबाट हाम्रो रक्षा गर्नका लागि राजासँग सेना वा घोडचढीहरू माग्‍न म लजाएँ किनकि हामीले राजालाई भनेका थियौं, 'हाम्रा परमेश्‍वरको खोजी गर्ने सबैमाथि सदाको लागि उहाँको हात रहेको हुन्छ, तर उहाँलाई त्याग्‍नेहरू सबैमाथि उहाँको शक्ति र क्रोध पर्छ ।'

For I was ashamed to ask of the king a guard and horsemen to save us from the enemy in the way: for we had spoken to the king, saying, The hand of our God [is] upon all that seek him, for good; but his power and his wrath [are] upon all that forsake him.

23 त्यसैले यस विषयमा हामीले उपवास बस्‍यौं, र परमेश्‍वरको खोजी गर्‍यौं, अनि हामीले उहाँलाई बिन्ती चढायौं ।

So we fasted, and asked of our God concerning this; and he listened to us.

24 त्यसपछि मैले पुजारीय अधिकारीहरूबाट बाह्र जना मानिस छानें: शरेबियाह र जशब्याह अनि तिनीहरूका दस जना दाजुभाइ थिए ।

And I gave charge to twelve of the chiefs of the priests, to Saraia, to Asabia, and ten of their brethren with them.

25 राजा, तिनका सल्लाहकारहरू र अधिकारीहरू अनि सारा इस्राएलीले परमेश्‍वरको मन्दिरको लागि सित्तैंमा दिएका चाँदी, सुन, चिजहरू र भेटीहरू मैले तिनीहरूका निम्ति तौलें ।

And I weighed to them the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of the first fruits of the house of our God, which the king, and his councillors, and his princes, and all Israel that were found, had dedicated.

26 मैले तिनीहरूका हातमा बाइस हजार किलो चाँदी, चौतिस सय किलो चाँदीका वस्तुहरू, चौतिस सय किलोग्राम सुन,

I even weighed into their hands six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and a hundred silver vessels, and a hundred talents of gold;

27 आठ किलो सुनका बाटाहरू र सुनजस्तै बहुमूल्य काँसाका दुईवटा भाँडा दिएँ ।

and twenty golden bowls, [weighing] about a thousand drachmas, and superior vessels of fine shining brass, [precious] as gold.

28 तब मैले तिनीहरूलाई भनें, “तिमीहरू र यी वस्तुहरू परमप्रभुका निम्ति समर्पण गरिएका छन् । चाँदी र सुन तिमीहरूका पुर्खाहरूका परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरको निम्ति स्वेच्छिक भेटी हुन् ।

And I said to them, You [are] holy to the Lord; and the vessels [are] holy; and the silver and the gold are free will offerings to the Lord God of our fathers.

29 यरूशलेममा परमेश्‍वरको मन्दिरका कोठाहरूमा भएका पुजारीका अधिकारीहरू, लेवीहरू र परिवारका अगुवाहरूको सामु यी जोखेर नदिएसम्म तिमीहरूले यिनको रेखदेख गरी सुरक्षित राख्‍नू ।”

Be watchful and keep them, until you weigh [them] before the chief priests and the Levites, and the chiefs of families in Jerusalem, at the chambers of the house of the Lord.

30 यरूशलेममा हाम्रा परमेश्‍वरको मन्दिरमा लैजानलाई तौलिएका ति चाँदी, सुन र वस्तुहरू पुजारीहरू र लेवीहरूले जिम्‍मा लिएर राखे ।

So the priests and the Levites took the weight of the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, to bring to Jerusalem into the house of our God.

31 पहिलो महिनाको बाह्रौं दिनमा हामी अहावा नहरबाट यरूशलेम प्रस्थान गर्‍यौं । हामीमाथि हाम्रा परमेश्‍वरको हात थियो । उहाँले हामीलाई शत्रु र बाटोमा लुकेर बसेका लुटेराहरूको हातबाट सुरक्षा दिनुभयो ।

And we departed from the river of Aue on the twelfth day of the first month, to come to Jerusalem: and the hand of our God was upon us, and delivered us from the hand of the enemy and adversary in the way.

32 यसरी हामी यरूशलेम प्रवेश गर्‍यौं, र त्यहाँ तिन दिन बस्यौं।

And we came to Jerusalem, and abode there three days.

33 तब चौथो दिनमा चाँदी, सुन र वस्तुहरू तौलेर हाम्रा परमेश्‍वरको घरमा उरियाह पुजारीका छोरा मरेमोत र तिनको साथमा भएका पीनहासका छोरा एलाजार, यशूअका छोरा योजाबाद, लेवी बिन्‍नूईका छोरा नोअदिया हातमा जिम्मा लगाइयो ।

And it came to pass on the fourth day that we weighed the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, in the house of our God, into the hand of Merimoth the son of Uria the priest; and with him [was] Eleazar the son of Phinees, and with them Jozabad the son of Jesus, and Noadia the son of Banaia, the Levites.

34 हरेक कुराको सङ्ख्या र तौल जाँच गरियो । त्यस बेला सबै कुराको तौल लेखेर राखियो ।

All things [were reckoned] by number and weight, and the whole weight was written [down].

35 निर्वासन अर्थात् कैदबाट फर्केर आएकाहरूले इस्राएलका परमेश्‍वरको निम्ति होमबलिहरू चढाए । तिनीहरूले सारा इस्राएलीका निम्ति बाह्रवटा साँढे, पापबलिको रूपमा छयानब्बेवटा भेडा, सतहत्तरवटा थुमा र बाह्रवटा बोका चढाए । यी सबै परमप्रभुका निम्ति होमबलि थिए ।

At that time the children of the banishment that came from the captivity offered whole burnt offerings to the God of Israel, twelve calves for all Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, twelve goats for a sin-offering; all whole burnt offerings to the Lord.

36 तब तिनीहरूले यूफ्रेटिस नदीपारिको प्रान्तमा बस्‍ने राजाका उच्‍च अधिकारीहरू र गभर्नरहरूलाई राजाको आदेश दिए, अनि तिनीहरूले मानिसहरू र परमेश्‍वरको मन्दिरलाई मदत गरे ।

And they gave the king's mandate to the king's lieutenants, and the governors beyond the river: and they honoured the people and the house of God.
