Of the sons also of Bigvai; Uthai, and Zabbud, and with them seventy males.

15 Anis laga gara Ahawaatti yaaʼu biratti walitti isaan nan qabe; nus guyyaa sadii achi turre. Anis yeroon uummataa fi luboota toʼadhetti Lewwota tokko illee isaan keessaa nan dhabe.

And I gathered them together to the river that runneth to Ahava; and there abode we in tents three days: and I viewed the people, and the priests, and found there none of the sons of Levi.

16 Kanaafuu ani Eliiʼezer, Ariiʼeel, Shemaaʼiyaa, Elnaataan, Yaariib, Elnaataan, Naataan, Zakkaariyaasii fi Meshulaam warra hooggantoota turanii fi Yooyaariibii fi Elnaataan warra hayyoota taʼan sana nan waamsise;

Then sent I for Eliezer, for Ariel, for Shemaiah, and for Elnathan, and for Jarib, and for Elnathan, and for Nathan, and for Zechariah, and for Meshullam, chief men; also for Joiarib, and for Elnathan, men of understanding.

17 ergasiis gara Iddoo namicha Kaasiifiyaa bulchuutti isaan nan erge. Anis akka isaan namoota mana Waaqa keenyaa keessa tajaajilan nuuf fidaniif waan isaan Iddoo fi firoota isaa kanneen mana qulqullummaa Kaasifiyaa keessa tajaajilaniin jechuu qaban isaanitti nan hime.

And I sent them with commandment unto Iddo the chief at the place Casiphia, and I told them what they should say unto Iddo, [and] to his brethren the Nethinims, at the place Casiphia, that they should bring unto us ministers for the house of our God.

18 Isaanis sababii harki Waaqaa tolaan sun nurra tureef sanyii Mahilii keessaa Sheereebiyaa ilma Lewwii, ilma Israaʼel, namicha hubataa tokko ilmaan isaa fi obboloota isaa wajjin walumatti nama 18 nuuf fidan;

And by the good hand of our God upon us they brought us a man of understanding, of the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel; and Sherebiah, with his sons and his brethren, eighteen;

19 akkasumas Hashabiyaa fi ilmaan Meraarii keessaa immoo Yeshaayaa, obboloota isaatii fi ilmaan obboloota isaa walumatti nama 20 nuuf fidan.

And Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah of the sons of Merari, his brethren and their sons, twenty;

20 Amma illee tajaajiltoota mana qulqullummaa kanneen Daawitii fi qondaaltonni isaa akka isaan Lewwota gargaaraniif ramadan keessaa nama 220 nuuf fidan. Isaan kunneen hundi maqaa maqaadhaan ni galmeeffaman.

Also of the Nethinims, whom David and the princes had appointed for the service of the Levites, two hundred and twenty Nethinims: all of them were expressed by name.

21 Anis akka nu, ijoolleen keenyaa fi qabeenyi keenya hundi karaa nagaa deemnuuf akka fuula Waaqa keenyaa duratti gad of qabnee kadhannuuf achuma Laga Ahawaa biratti sooman nan labse.

Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river of Ahava, that we might afflict ourselves before our God, to seek of him a right way for us, and for our little ones, and for all our substance.

22 Ani sababii nu, “Harki Waaqa keenyaa inni tolaan nama isa abdatu hunda irra jira; warra isa dhiisu hunda irra garuu dheekkamsi isaa ni buʼa” jennee mootichatti himnee turreef akka isaan karaa keenya irratti diinota nurraa dhowwaniif loltootaa fi abbootii fardaa mooticha kadhachuu nan qaanaʼe.

For I was ashamed to require of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way: because we had spoken unto the king, saying, The hand of our God [is] upon all them for good that seek him; but his power and his wrath [is] against all them that forsake him.

23 Kanaafuu nu soomnee waan kana irratti Waaqa kadhanne; innis kadhaa keenyaaf deebii kenne.

So we fasted and besought our God for this: and he was intreated of us.

24 Anis luboota hangafoota keessaa kudha lama jechuunis Sheereebiyaa, Hashabiyaa fi obboloota isaanii keessaa nama kudhan kophaatti nan baase;

Then I separated twelve of the chief of the priests, Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brethren with them,

25 anis kennaa meetii, warqee fi miʼaa kan mootichi, gorsitoonni isaa, qondaaltonni isaa fi Israaʼeloonni achi turan hundi mana Waaqa keenyaatiif kennan irraa madaalee isaaniif nan qoode.

And weighed unto them the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, [even] the offering of the house of our God, which the king, and his counsellors, and his lords, and all Israel [there] present, had offered:

26 Ani meetii taalaantii 650, miʼa meetii kana taalaantii 100 ulfaatu, warqee taalaantii 100,

I even weighed unto their hand six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and silver vessels an hundred talents, [and] of gold an hundred talents;

27 waciitii warqee 20 kan daariikii 1,000 baasuu fi miʼa naasii cululuqaa akkuma warqee gatiin isaa guddaa taʼe lama madaaleen qoodeef.

Also twenty basons of gold, of a thousand drams; and two vessels of fine copper, precious as gold.

28 Anis akkanan isaaniin jedhe; “Isinii fi miʼi kun Waaqayyoof qulqulleeffamtaniirtu. Meetii fi warqeen kun kennaa fedhiidhaan Waaqayyo Waaqa abbootii keessaniitiif kennamanii dha.

And I said unto them, Ye [are] holy unto the LORD; the vessels [are] holy also; and the silver and the gold [are] a freewill offering unto the LORD God of your fathers.

29 Hamma kutaalee mana Waaqayyoo kan Yerusaalem keessaa sana keessatti fuula luboota hangafootaa, fuula Lewwotaa fi hangafoota maatii Israaʼel duratti madaaltanii qooddanitti miʼa kana jabeessaa eegaa.”

Watch ye, and keep [them], until ye weigh [them] before the chief of the priests and the Levites, and chief of the fathers of Israel, at Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of the LORD.

30 Kanaafuu luboonnii fi Lewwonni meetii, warqee fi miʼa qulqulluu madaalame sana mana Waaqa keenyaa kan Yerusaalem keessaatti geessuuf ni fuudhan.

So took the priests and the Levites the weight of the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, to bring [them] to Jerusalem unto the house of our God.

31 Nus bultii kudha lammaffaa jiʼa tokkoffaatti Yerusaalem dhaquudhaaf Laga Ahawaa biraa kaane. Harki Waaqa keenyaa nurra ture; innis diinotaa fi namoota riphanii karaa irratti nama eegatan jalaa nu baase.

Then we departed from the river of Ahava on the twelfth [day] of the first month, to go unto Jerusalem: and the hand of our God was upon us, and he delivered us from the hand of the enemy, and of such as lay in wait by the way.

32 Akkasiinis Yerusaalem geenyee bultii sadii achi boqonne.

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

33 Nus bultii afuraffaatti mana Waaqa keenyaa keessatti meetii, warqee fi miʼa qulqulluu sana madaallee harka Mereemooti lubicha ilma Uuriyaa sanaatti ni kennine. Eleʼaazaar ilmi Fiinehaas akkasumas Lewwonni jechuunis Yoozaabaad ilmi Yeeshuuʼaa fi Nooʼadiyaan ilmi Binuuyii isa wajjin turan.

Now on the fourth day was the silver and the gold and the vessels weighed in the house of our God by the hand of Meremoth the son of Uriah the priest; and with him [was] Eleazar the son of Phinehas; and with them [was] Jozabad the son of Jeshua, and Noadiah the son of Binnui, Levites;

34 Wanni hundinuus lakkaaʼamee madaalame; ulfinni waan madaalame hundaas yeruma sana ni galmeeffame.

By number [and] by weight of every one: and all the weight was written at that time.

35 Ergasiis boojiʼamtoonni boojuudhaa deebiʼan sun Israaʼel hundaaf jiboota kudha lama, korbeeyyii hoolaa sagaltamii jaʼaa fi xobbaallaa torbaatamii torban aarsaa gubamu, korbeeyyii reʼee kudha lama aarsaa cubbuu godhanii Waaqa Israaʼeliif dhiʼeessan; kun hundi aarsaa gubamu kan Waaqayyoof dhiʼeeffamee dha.

[Also] the children of those that had been carried away, which were come out of the captivity, offered burnt offerings unto the God of Israel, twelve bullocks for all Israel, ninety and six rams, seventy and seven lambs, twelve he goats [for] a sin offering: all [this was] a burnt offering unto the LORD.

36 Isaan ajaja mootichaa illee ajajjoota mootummaa fi bulchitoota Gama Laga Efraaxiisitti dabarsan. Jarris sabaa fi mana Waaqaa gargaaran.

And they delivered the king’s commissions unto the king’s lieutenants, and to the governors on this side the river: and they furthered the people, and the house of God.
