١ 1 وَهَؤُلَاءِ هُمْ رُؤُوسُ آبَائِهِمْ وَنِسْبَةُ ٱلَّذِينَ صَعِدُوا مَعِي فِي مُلْكِ أَرْتَحْشَشْتَا ٱلْمَلِكِ مِنْ بَابِلَ:

And these [are] the heads of their families, the leaders that went up with me in the reign of Arthasastha the king of Babylon.

٢ 2 مِنْ بَنِي فِينَحَاسَ: جِرْشُومُ. مِنْ بَنِي إِيثَامَارَ: دَانِيَالُ. مِنْ بَنِي دَاوُدَ: حَطُّوشُ.

٣ 3 مِنْ بَنِي شَكَنْيَا مِنْ بَنِي فَرْعُوشَ: زَكَرِيَّا، وَٱنْتَسَبَ مَعَهُ مِنَ ٱلذُّكُورِ مِئَةٌ وَخَمْسُونَ.

And of the sons of Saphatia; Zabadias the son of Michael, and with him eighty males.

٩ 9 مِنْ بَنِي يُوآبَ: عُوبَدْيَا بْنُ يَحِيئِيلَ، وَمَعَهُ مِئَتَانِ وَثَمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ مِنَ ٱلذُّكُورِ.

And of the sons of Joab; Abadia the son of Jeiel, and with him two hundred and eighteen males.

And of the sons of Baguae, Uthai, and Zabud, and with him seventy males.

١٥ 15 فَجَمَعْتُهُمْ إِلَى ٱلنَّهْرِ ٱلْجَارِي إِلَى أَهْوَا وَنَزَلْنَا هُنَاكَ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ. وَتَأَمَّلْتُ ٱلشَّعْبَ وَٱلْكَهَنَةَ، وَلَكِنَّنِي لَمْ أَجِدْ أَحَدًا مِنَ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ هُنَاكَ.

And I gathered them to the river that comes to Evi, and we encamped there three days: and I reviewed the people and the priests, and found none of the sons of Levi there.

١٦ 16 فَأَرْسَلْتُ إِلَى: أَلِيعَزَرَ وَأَرِيئِيلَ وَشَمْعِيَا وَأَلْنَاثَانَ وَيَارِيبَ وَأَلْنَاثَانَ وَنَاثَانَ وَزَكَرِيَّا وَمَشُلَّامَ ٱلرُّؤُوسِ، وَإِلَى يُويَارِيبَ وَأَلْنَاثَانَ ٱلْفَهِيمَيْنِ،

And I sent men of understanding to Eleazar, to Ariel, to Semeias, and to Alonam, and to Jarib, and to Elnatham, and to Nathan, and to Zacharias, and to Mesollam, and to Joarim, and to Elnathan.

١٧ 17 وَأَرْسَلْتُهُمْ إِلَى إِدُّو ٱلرَّأْسِ فِي ٱلْمَكَانِ ٱلْمُسَمَّى كَسِفْيَا، وَجَعَلْتُ فِي أَفْوَاهِهِمْ كَلَامًا يُكَلِّمُونَ بِهِ إِدُّوَ وَإِخْوَتَهُ ٱلنَّثِينِيمَ فِي ٱلْمَكَانِ كَسِفْيَا لِيَأْتُوا إِلَيْنَا بِخُدَّامٍ لِبَيْتِ إِلَهِنَا.

And I forwarded them to the rulers with the money of the place, and I put words in their mouth to speak to their brethren the Athinim with the money of the place, that they should bring us singers for the house of our God.

١٨ 18 فَأَتَوْا إِلَيْنَا حَسَبَ يَدِ ٱللهِ ٱلصَّالِحَةِ عَلَيْنَا بِرَجُلٍ فَطِنٍ مِنْ بَنِي مَحْلِي بْنِ لَاوِي بْنِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَشَرَبْيَا وَبَنِيهِ وَإِخْوَتِهِ ثَمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ،

And they came to us, as the good hand of our God was upon us, even a man of understanding of the sons of Mooli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel, and at the commencement came his sons and his brethren, eighteen.

١٩ 19 وَحَشَبْيَا وَمَعْهُ يَشَعْيَا مِنْ بَنِي مَرَارِي وَإِخْوَتُهُ وَبَنُوهُمْ عِشْرُونَ.

And Asebia, and Isaia of the sons of Merari, his brethren and his sons, twenty.

٢٠ 20 وَمِنَ ٱلنَّثِينِيمِ ٱلَّذِينَ جَعَلَهُمْ دَاوُدُ مَعَ ٱلرُّؤَسَاءِ لِخِدْمَةِ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ مِنَ ٱلنَّثِينِيمِ مِئَتَيْنِ وَعِشْرِينَ. ٱلْجَمِيعُ تَعَيَّنُوا بِأَسْمَائِهِمْ.

And of the Nathinim; whom David and the princes had appointed for the service of the Levites [there were] two hundred and twenty Nathinim; all were gathered by [their] names.

٢١ 21 وَنَادَيْتُ هُنَاكَ بِصَوْمٍ عَلَى نَهْرِ أَهْوَا لِكَيْ نَتَذَلَّلَ أَمَامَ إِلَهِنَا لِنَطْلُبَ مِنْهُ طَرِيقًا مُسْتَقِيمَةً لَنَا وَلِأَطْفَالِنَا وَلِكُلِّ مَالِنَا.

And I proclaimed there a fast, at the river Aue, that [we] should humble ourselves before our God, to seek of him a straight way for us, and for our children, and for all our property.

٢٢ 22 لِأَنِّي خَجِلْتُ مِنْ أَنْ أَطْلُبَ مِنَ ٱلْمَلِكِ جَيْشًا وَفُرْسَانًا لِيُنْجِدُونَا عَلَى ٱلْعَدُوِّ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ، لِأَنَّنَا كَلَّمْنَا ٱلْمَلِكَ قَائِلِينَ: «إِنَّ يَدَ إِلَهِنَا عَلَى كُلِّ طَالِبِيهِ لِلْخَيْرِ، وَصَوْلَتَهُ وَغَضَبَهُ عَلَى كُلِّ مَنْ يَتْرُكُهُ».

For I was ashamed to ask of the king a guard and horsemen to save us from the enemy in the way: for we had spoken to the king, saying, The hand of our God [is] upon all that seek him, for good; but his power and his wrath [are] upon all that forsake him.

٢٣ 23 فَصُمْنَا وَطَلَبْنَا ذَلِكَ مِنْ إِلَهِنَا فَٱسْتَجَابَ لَنَا.

So we fasted, and asked of our God concerning this; and he hearkened to us.

٢٤ 24 وَأَفْرَزْتُ مِنْ رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ ٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ: شَرَبْيَا وَحَشَبْيَا، وَمَعْهُمَا مِنْ إِخْوَتِهِمَا عَشَرَةٌ.

And I gave charge to twelve of the chiefs of the priests, to Saraia, to Asabia, and ten of their brethren with them.

٢٥ 25 وَوَزَنْتُ لَهُمُ ٱلْفِضَّةَ وَٱلذَّهَبَ وَٱلْآنِيَةَ، تَقْدِمَةَ بَيْتِ إِلَهِنَا ٱلَّتِي قَدَّمَهَا ٱلْمَلِكُ وَمُشِيرُوهُ وَرُؤَسَاؤُهُ وَجَمِيعُ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلْمَوْجُودِينَ،

And I weighed to them the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of the first-fruits of the house of our God, which the king, and his councillors, and his princes, and all Israel that were found, had dedicated.

٢٦ 26 وَزَنْتُ لِيَدِهِمْ سِتَّ مِئَةٍ وَخَمْسِينَ وَزْنَةً مِنَ ٱلْفِضَّةِ، وَمِئَةَ وَزْنَةٍ مِنْ آنِيَةِ ٱلْفِضَّةِ، وَمِئَةَ وَزْنَةٍ مِنَ ٱلذَّهَبِ،

I even weighed into their hands six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and a hundred silver vessels, and a hundred talents of gold;

٢٧ 27 وَعِشْرِينَ قَدَحًا مِنَ ٱلذَّهَبِ أَلْفَ دِرْهَمٍ، وَآنِيَةً مِنْ نُحَاسٍ صَقِيلٍ جَيِّدٍ ثَمِينٍ كَٱلذَّهَبِ.

and twenty golden bowls, [weighing] about a thousand drachms, and superior vessels of fine shining brass, [precious] as gold.

٢٨ 28 وَقُلْتُ لَهُمْ: «أَنْتُمْ مُقَدَّسُونَ لِلرَّبِّ، وَٱلْآنِيَةُ مُقَدَّسَةٌ، وَٱلْفِضَّةُ وَٱلذَّهَبُ تَبَرُّعٌ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ آبَائِكُمْ.

And I said to them, Ye [are] holy to the Lord; and the vessels [are] holy; and the silver and the gold are freewill-offerings to the Lord God of our fathers.

٢٩ 29 فَٱسْهَرُوا وَٱحْفَظُوهَا حَتَّى تَزِنُوهَا أَمَامَ رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱللَّاوِيِّينَ وَرُؤَسَاءِ آبَاءِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، فِي مَخَادِعِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ».

Be watchful and keep them, until ye weigh [them] before the chief priests and the Levites, and the chiefs of families in Jerusalem, at the chambers of the house of the Lord.

٣٠ 30 فَأَخَذَ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ وَٱللَّاوِيُّونَ وَزْنَ ٱلْفِضَّةِ وَٱلذَّهَبِ وَٱلْآنِيَةِ لِيَأْتُوا بِهَا إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، إِلَى بَيْتِ إِلَهِنَا.

So the priests and the Levites took the weight of the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, to bring to Jerusalem into the house of our God.

٣١ 31 ثُمَّ رَحَلْنَا مِنْ نَهْرِ أَهْوَا فِي ٱلثَّانِي عَشَرَ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ لِنَذْهَبَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَكَانَتْ يَدُ إِلَهِنَا عَلَيْنَا، فَأَنْقَذَنَا مِنْ يَدِ ٱلْعَدُوِّ وَٱلْكَامِنِ عَلَى ٱلطَّرِيقِ.

And we departed from the river of Aue on the twelfth day of the first month, to come to Jerusalem: and the hand of our God was upon us, and delivered us from the hand of the enemy and adversary in the way.

٣٢ 32 فَأَتَيْنَا إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَأَقَمْنَا هُنَاكَ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ.

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

٣٣ 33 وَفِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلرَّابِع وُزِنَتِ ٱلْفِضَّةُ وَٱلذَّهَبُ وَٱلْآنِيَةُ فِي بَيْتِ إِلَهِنَا عَلَى يَدِ مَرِيمُوثَ بْنِ أُورِيَّا ٱلْكَاهِنِ، وَمَعَهُ أَلِعَازَارُ بْنُ فِينَحَاسَ، وَمَعَهُمَا يُوزَابَادُ بْنُ يَشُوعَ وَنُوعَدْيَا بْنُ بَنُّويَ ٱللَّاوِيَّانِ.

And it came to pass on the fourth day that we weighed the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, in the house of our God, into the hand of Merimoth the son of Uria the priest; and with him [was] Eleazar the son of Phinees, and with them Jozabad the son of Jesus, and Noadia the son of Banaia, the Levites.

٣٤ 34 بِٱلْعَدَدِ وَٱلْوَزْنِ لِلْكُلِّ، وَكُتِبَ كُلُّ ٱلْوَزْنِ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ.

All things [were reckoned] by number and weight, and the whole weight was written [down].

٣٥ 35 وَبَنُو ٱلسَّبْيِ ٱلْقَادِمُونَ مِنَ ٱلسَّبْيِ قَرَّبُوا مُحْرَقَاتٍ لِإِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، ٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ ثَوْرًا عَنْ كُلِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَسِتَّةً وَتِسْعِينَ كَبْشًا وَسَبْعَةً وَسَبْعِينَ خَرُوفًا وَٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ تَيْسًا، ذَبِيحَةَ خَطِيَّةٍ ٱلْجَمِيعُ مُحْرَقَةٌ لِلرَّبِّ.

At that time the children of the banishment that came from the captivity offered whole-burnt-offerings to the God of Israel, twelve calves for all Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, twelve goats for a sin-offering; all whole-burnt-offerings to the Lord.

٣٦ 36 وَأَعْطَوْا أَوَامِرَ ٱلْمَلِكِ لِمَرَازِبَةِ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَوُلَاةِ عَبْرِ ٱلنَّهْرِ، فَأَعَانُوا ٱلشَّعْبَ وَبَيْتَ ٱللهِ.

And they gave the king's mandate to the king's lieutenants, and the governors beyond the river: and they honoured the people and the house of God.
