15 Nikawakusanya wasafiri bandari iliyokuwa inaelekea Ahava. Tukaweka kambi muda wa siku tatu, nikawachunguza watu na makuhani, lakini sikuwaona wana wa Levi miongoni.
And I assembled them to the river which goes to Ahava and we encamped there days three and I considered! the people and the priests and any of [the] descendants of Levi not I found there.
16 Hivyo nikatuma kwa Eliezeri, arieli, Shemaya, Elnathani, Yaribu na Elnathani na Nathani, Zekaria na Meshulamu waliokuwa viongozi na kwa Yoyaribu na Elnathani ambao walikuwa ni walimu.
And I sent! for Eliezer for Ariel for Shemaiah and for Elnathan and for Jarib and for Elnathan and for Nathan and for Zechariah and for Meshullam chiefs and for Joiarib and for Elnathan teachers.
17 Tena nikawatuma kwa Ido, kiongozi wa Kasifia. Nikawaaambia kile watachomweleza Ido. na jamaa zake, watumishi wa Hekalu waliishi Kasifia, kwa hiyo, kutuma kwetu watumishi kwa ajili ya nyumba ya Mungu.
(And I commanded *Q(K)*) them to Iddo the chief in Casiphia the place and I put! in mouth their words to speak to Iddo brother his (the temple servants *Q(K)*) in Casiphia the place to bring to us servants for [the] house of God our.
18 Hivyo wakatutuma sisi kwa Mungu na mkono mzuri wa mtu aliyeitwa Ishekeli. Alikuwa mwana wa mali Mwana wa Levi mwana wa Israel. Akaja na wana kumi na wanane na ndugu,
And they brought to us according to [the] hand of God our good on us a man of insight one of [the] descendants of Mahli [the] son of Levi [the] son of Israel and Sherebiah and sons his and brothers his eight-teen.

And Hashabiah and with him Jeshaiah one of [the] descendants of Merari brothers his and sons their twenty.
20 mwao walichaguliwa kutumika katika Hekalu, ambapo Daudi na wakuu waliwapa kuwahudumia walawi: mia mbili ishirini kila mmoja wao aliagizwa kwa majina.
And some of the temple servants whom he had appointed David and the officials for [the] work of the Levites temple servants two hundred and twenty all of them they had been designated by names.
21 Tena nikatangaza kufunga mto Ahava ili kujinyenyekeza mbele za Mungu, kutafuta njia iliyoonyoka kutoka kwake kwa ajili yetu, watoto wetu na mali zetu,
And I proclaimed there a fast at the river Ahava to humble ourselves before God our to seek from him a journey straight for us and for little one[s] our and for all property our.
22 Niliona aibu kumwomba mfalme kwa ajili ya jeshi au mpandafarasi kwa ajili ya kutulinda tunapokuwa njiani, tangu tumemwambia mfalme “mkono wa Mungu uko pamoja na wote wanaomtafuta kwa mazuri. lakini uweza wake na ghazabu yake ni juu ya wale wote wanaomwasi yeye.
For I was ashamed to ask from the king an escort and horsemen to help us from an enemy on the journey for we had said to the king saying [the] hand of God our [is] on all [those who] seek him for good and strength his and anger his [are] towards all [those who] forsake him.
23 Hivyo tulifunga na kumsihi Mungu kwa jambo hilo.
And we fasted! and we sought! from God our on this and he was entreated by us.
24 Tena nikachagua watu kumi na wawili kutoka kwa kuhani: Sherebia na Hashabia na ndugu zao wengine kumi.
And I set apart! of [the] leaders of the priests two [plus] ten to Sherebiah Hashabiah and with them of brothers their ten.
25 Nikapima kwa ajili yao fedha, dhahabu na vyombo na sadaka kwa ajili ya nyumba ya Mungu kwa wafalme, washauri, na wakuu na Israel wote walitoa kwa hiari.
(And I weighed out! *Q(k)*) to them the silver and the gold and the vessels [the] contribution of [the] house of God our which they had offered the king and counselors his and officials his and all Israel who were found.
26 Hivyo nikawapimia kwenye mikono yao talanta za fedha mia sita na hamsini, talanta mia moja ya vyombo vya fedha, talanta mia moja za dhahabu.
And I weighed out! on hand their silver talents six hundred and fifty and vessels of silver one hundred of talents gold one hundred talent[s].
27 vifaa ishirini vya dhahabu kwa pamoja vilikuwa na thamani ya elfu moja darkoni na vitu viwili vya sanamu vivyonakshiwa kama dhahabu ya kupendeza.
And bowls of gold twenty of darics a thousand and vessels of bronze gleaming fine two precious like gold.
28 Kisha nikawaambia, mmewekwa wakfu kwa Bwana, na hivi vyombo pia na fedha na dhahabu, vimetolewa kwa hiari kwa Yahwe, Mungu wa watangulizi wenu.
And I said! to them you [are] holy person[s] to Yahweh and the vessels [are] holy thing[s] and the silver and the gold [are] a freewill offering to Yahweh [the] God of ancestors your.
29 mviangalie na kuvitunza hadi mtakapovipima mbele ya makuhani, walawi, na viongozi wa wataangulizi wa jamii ya Israel katika Yerusalem katika nyumba ya Mungu.
Watch and keep [them] until you will weigh [them] out before [the] leaders of the priests and the Levites and [the] leaders of the fathers of Israel in Jerusalem the rooms of [the] house of Yahweh.
30 Makuhani na walawi walikubali vipimo vya fedha na dhahabu na vyombo kwa ajili ya kuvichukua na kuvipeleka Yerusalem, kwenye nyumba ya Mungu wetu.
And they received the priests and the Levites [the] weight of the silver and the gold and the vessels to bring [them] to Jerusalem to [the] house of God our.
31 Tukatoka kwenda mto Ahava siku ya kumi na mbili katika mwezi wa kwanza kwenda Yerusalem, Mkono wa Mungu ulikuwa pamoja nasi, ulitulinda na mikono ya adui na wale waliotaka kutufanyia fujo njiani.
And we set out! from [the] river of Ahava on [day] two [plus] ten of the month first to go Jerusalem and [the] hand of God our it was on us and he delivered us from [the] hand of an enemy and from an ambusher on the journey.
32 Hivyo tukaingia Yerusalem na kukaa humo kwa siku tatu.
And we came Jerusalem and we remained there days three.
33 Tena siku ya nne fedha na dhahabu na vyombo vilipimwa ndani ya nyumba ya Mungu wetu kwa mikono ya Meremothi mwana wa Uria kuhani, na pamoja nao alikuwepo Eleazari mwana wa Finehasi, Yozabadi mwana wa Yeshua, na Noadia mwana wa Binui, Walawi.
And on the day fourth it was weighed out the silver and the gold and the vessels in [the] house of God our on [the] hand of Meremoth [the] son of Uriah the priest and with him Eleazar [the] son of Phinehas and with them Jozabad [the] son of Jeshua and Noadiah [the] son of Binnui the Levites.
34 Idadi na uzito wa kila kitu uliweza kujulikana. Uzito wote uliweza kuandikwa katika kipindi hicho
By number by weight for everything and it was written down all the weight at the time that.
35 Na wale waliokuja kutoka matekani, watu wa uhamisho, wakatoa sadaka ya kutekezwa kwa Mungu wa Israel, kondoo tisini na sita, wana-kondoo sabini na saba na mbuzi wa kiume kumi na wawili kama sadaka ya dhambi. Zote zilikuwa sadaka za kutekezwa kwa ajili ya Yahwe.
Those [who] had come from the captivity [the] children of the exile they brought near burnt offerings - to [the] God of Israel bulls two [plus] ten on all Israel rams - ninety and six lambs seventy and seven he-goats of sin offering two [plus] ten everything [was] a burnt offering to Yahweh.
36 Tena wakawapa amri za mfalme kwa wakuu wa wafalme na wakuu katika mji ngambo ya mto, na wakawasaidia watu na nyumba ya Mungu.
And they gave - [the] decrees of the king to [the] satraps of the king and [the] governors of beyond the River and they supported the people and [the] house of God.
