King Nebuchadnezzar’s [soldiers] had captured many [Israeli] people and taken them to Babylonia. [Many years later, ] some Israeli people returned to Judah. Some returned to Jerusalem, and some returned to [other places in] Judah. They went to the towns where their ancestors had lived. This is a list of the groups who returned.

59 Pea ko kinautolu ni ia naʻe ʻalu hake mei Telimela, mo Telihalesa, mo Kilupi, mo ʻAtani, mo Imeli: ka naʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa fakahā ʻae fale ʻo ʻenau tamai, mo honau hohoko, pe kuo ʻo ʻIsileli ʻakinautolu pe ʻikai:
There was another group who returned [to Judah] from Tel-Melah, Tel-Harsha, Kerub, Addan, and Immer [towns in Babylonia]. But they could not prove that they were descendants of [people who previously lived in] Israel.
60 Ko e fānau ʻa Tilaia, ko e fānau ʻa Topaia, ko e fānau ʻa Nikota, ko e toko onongeau mo e toko nimangofulu ma ua.

Hobaiah’s clan, Hakkoz’s clan, and Barzillai’s clan also returned. Barzillai had married a woman who was a descendant of Barzillai from [the] Gilead [region], and he had taken for himself the name of his father-in-law’s clan.
62 Naʻe kumi ʻekinautolu honau hohoko fakataha mo kinautolu naʻe lau ʻi he hokohoko, ka naʻe ʻikai faʻa ʻilo ia: ko ia naʻe tukuange ai ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ha taʻemaʻa, mei he ngāue ʻoe taulaʻeiki.
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 Pea naʻe tala ʻe he ʻeiki pule kiate kinautolu, ke ʻoua naʻa nau kai ʻi he ngaahi meʻa māʻoniʻoni lahi, kaeʻoua ke tuʻu hake ha taulaʻeiki ʻaki ʻae ʻUlimi mo e Tumemi.
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.
64 Ko e kakai ʻoe fakataha kotoa pē ko e toko fā mano, mo e toko ua afe, mo e tolungeau ma onongofulu,
Altogether 42,360 Israeli people who returned to Judah.
65 Ka ʻoku lau kehe ʻenau kau tamaioʻeiki mo ʻenau ngaahi kaunanga, ko e toko fitu afe, mo e toko tolungeau ma tolungofulu ma fitu: pea naʻe ʻiate kinautolu ʻae kau tangata hiva mo e kau fefine hiva ʻe toko uangeau.
There were also 7,337 servants and 200 musicians, both men and women, who returned.
66 Ko ʻenau fanga hoosi ko e fitungeau mo e tolungofulu ma ono: ko ʻenau fanga miuli, ko e uangeau mo e fāngofulu ma nima;
The Israelis brought with them [from Babylonia] 736 horses, 245 mules,
67 Ko ʻenau fanga kāmeli, ko e fāngeau mo e tolungofulu ma nima; ko ʻenau fanga ʻasi, ko e ono afe mo e fitungeau mo e uofulu.
435 camels, and 6,720 donkeys.
68 Pea ʻi he hoko ʻae niʻihi naʻe tuʻukimuʻa ʻi he ngaahi tamai ki he fale ʻo Sihova ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Selūsalema, naʻa nau ʻatu fiemālie pea mo e fale ʻoe ʻOtua ke fokotuʻu hake ia ʻi hono potu:
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 Naʻa nau foaki ʻo fakatatau ki heʻenau mafai ki he koloa maʻae ngāue, ko e talami koula ʻe ono mano mo e taha afe, pea mo e siliva ko e paunite ʻe nima afe, mo e kofu ʻe teau ki he kau taulaʻeiki.
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 Ko ia naʻe nofo ʻae kau taulaʻeiki, mo e kau Livai, mo e niʻihi ʻi he kakai, mo e kau hiva, mo e kau leʻo matapā, mo e kau Netenimi, ʻi honau ngaahi kolo, pea mo ʻIsileli kotoa pē ki honau ngaahi kolo ʻonautolu.
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.
