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.
I gathered the travelers at the canal that goes to Ahava, and we camped there three days. I examined the people and priests, but could not find any descendants of Levi there.
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;
So I sent for Eliezer, Ariel, Shemaiah, Elnathan, Jarib, and Elnathan and Nathan, Zechariah, and Meshullam—who were leaders—and for Joiarib and Elnathan—who were teachers.
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.
Next I sent them to Iddo, the leader in Kasiphia. I told them what to say to Iddo and his relatives, the temple servants living in Kasiphia, that is, to send to us servants for the house of 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;
So they sent us by our God's good hand a man named Sherebiah, a prudent man. He was a descendant of Mahli son of Levi son of Israel. He came with eighteen sons and brothers.
19 akkasumas Hashabiyaa fi ilmaan Meraarii keessaa immoo Yeshaayaa, obboloota isaatii fi ilmaan obboloota isaa walumatti nama 20 nuuf fidan.
With him came Hashabiah. There also were Jeshaiah, one of the sons of Merari, with his brothers and their sons, twenty men in all.
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.
Of those assigned to serve in the temple, whom David and his officials gave to serve the Levites: 220, each of them assigned 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 at the Ahava Canal to humble ourselves before God, to seek a straight path from him for us, our little ones, and all our possessions.
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.
I was ashamed to ask the king for an army or horsemen to protect us against enemies along the way, since we had said to the king, 'The hand of our God is on all who seek him for good, but his might and wrath are on all who forget him.'
23 Kanaafuu nu soomnee waan kana irratti Waaqa kadhanne; innis kadhaa keenyaaf deebii kenne.
So we fasted and sought God about this, and we pled to him.
24 Anis luboota hangafoota keessaa kudha lama jechuunis Sheereebiyaa, Hashabiyaa fi obboloota isaanii keessaa nama kudhan kophaatti nan baase;
Next I selected twelve men from the priestly officials: Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brothers.
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.
I weighed out for them silver, gold, and the objects and offerings for the house of God that the king, his counselors and officials, and all Israel had freely offered.
26 Ani meetii taalaantii 650, miʼa meetii kana taalaantii 100 ulfaatu, warqee taalaantii 100,
So I weighed into their hand 650 talents of silver, one hundred talents of silver objects, one hundred talents of gold,
27 waciitii warqee 20 kan daariikii 1,000 baasuu fi miʼa naasii cululuqaa akkuma warqee gatiin isaa guddaa taʼe lama madaaleen qoodeef.
twenty gold bowls that were together valued at one thousand darics, and two well-polished bronze vessels as 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.
Then I said to them, “You are consecrated to Yahweh, and these objects also, and the silver and gold are a freewill offering to Yahweh, the God of your ancestors.
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 over them and keep them until you weigh them out before the priestly officials, Levites, and leaders of the ancestors' clans of Israel in Jerusalem in the rooms of God's house.”
30 Kanaafuu luboonnii fi Lewwonni meetii, warqee fi miʼa qulqulluu madaalame sana mana Waaqa keenyaa kan Yerusaalem keessaatti geessuuf ni fuudhan.
The priests and the Levites accepted the weighed silver, gold, and the objects in order to take them to Jerusalem, to our God's house.
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.
We went out from the Ahava Canal on the twelfth day of the first month to go to Jerusalem. The hand of our God was on us; he protected us from the hand of the enemy and the ones who wished to ambush us along the road.
32 Akkasiinis Yerusaalem geenyee bultii sadii achi boqonne.
So we entered Jerusalem and stayed there for 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.
Then on the fourth day the silver, gold, and objects were weighed out in our God's house into the hand of Meremoth son of Uriah the priest, and with him were Eleazar son of Phinehas, Jozabad son of Jeshua, and Noadiah son of Binnui the Levite.
34 Wanni hundinuus lakkaaʼamee madaalame; ulfinni waan madaalame hundaas yeruma sana ni galmeeffame.
The number and weight of everything was determined. All the weight was written down 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.
The ones who came back from the captivity, the people of exile, offered burnt offerings to the God of Israel: twelve bulls for all of Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, and twelve male goats as a sin offering. All were a burnt offering for Yahweh.
36 Isaan ajaja mootichaa illee ajajjoota mootummaa fi bulchitoota Gama Laga Efraaxiisitti dabarsan. Jarris sabaa fi mana Waaqaa gargaaran.
Then they gave the king's decrees to the king's high officials and the governors in the Province Beyond the River, and they helped the people and the house of God.
