62 Isaan kunneen sababii galmee hidda dhalootaa keessaa maqaa maatii isaanii barbaadanii dhabaniif akka xuraaʼotaatti ilaalamanii tajaajila lubummaa dhowwaman.
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 Bulchaan biyyattiis hamma lubni Uriimii fi Tumiimiidhaan tajaajilu tokko argamutti akka isaan nyaata nyaata hunda caalaa qulqulluu taʼe kam iyyuu hin nyaanneef isaan ajaje.
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.

68 Yommuu isaan mana Waaqayyoo kan Yerusaalem keessa jiru sana gaʼanitti hangafoonni maatiiwwanii tokko tokko akka manni Waaqaa iddoo isaatti deebiʼee ijaaramuuf kennaa fedhiidhaan kennamu ni gumaachan.
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 Isaanis akkuma dandeettii isaaniitti warqee daariikii 61,000, meetii minnaanii 5,000 fi uffata lubootaa 100 horii hojii kanaaf walitti qabametti ni dabalan.
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 Luboonni, Lewwonni, faarfattoonni, eegdonni karraa fi tajaajiltoonni mana qulqullummaa namoota tokko tokko wajjin magaalaawwan ofii isaanii keessa qubatan; Israaʼeloonni kaan magaalaawwan ofii isaanii keessa qubatan.
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.
