Ezra 8
1 These are the leaders of their ancestors' families who left Babylon with me during the reign of King Artaxerxes.
Følgende er de Overhoveder over Fædrenehusene og de i deres Slægtsfortegnelser opførte, som drog op med mig fra Babel under Kong Artaxerxes's Regering:

3 who was of the descendants of Shecaniah, who was from the descendants of Parosh; and Zechariah, and with him there were 150 males listed in the record of his genealogy.

13 Those of the descendants of Adonikam came later. These were their names: Eliphelet, Jeuel, and Shemaiah and with them came sixty males.
af Adonikams Efterkommere de sidst komne, nemlig Elifelet. Je'iel og Sjemaja, med 60 Mandspersoner;
14 Of the descendants of Bigvai, Uthai and Zaccur and with him were listed seventy males.
af Bigvajs Efterkommere Utaj og Zabud med 70 Mandspersoner.
15 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.
Og jeg samlede dem ved den Flod, der løber ad Ahava til, og vi lå lejret der i tre Dage. Men da jeg tog Folket og Præsterne nærmere i Øjesyn, fandt jeg ingen Leviter der.
16 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.
Jeg sendte derfor Overhovederne Eliezer, Ariel, Sjemaja, Elnatan, Jarib, Elnatan, Natan, Zekarja og Mesjullam og Lærerne Jojarib og Elnatan hen
17 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.
og bød dem gå til Overhovedet Iddo i Byen Kasifja, idet jeg lagde dem de Ord i Munden, hvormed de skulde overtale Iddo og hans Brødre i Byen Kasifja til at sende os Tjenere til vor Guds Hus;
18 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.
og eftersom vor Guds gode Hånd var over os, sendte de os en forstandig Mand afEfterkommerne efter Mali, Israels Søn Levis Søn, Sjerebja med hans Sønner og Brødre, atten Mand
19 With him came Hashabiah. There also were Jeshaiah, one of the sons of Merari, with his brothers and their sons, twenty men in all.
og Hasjabja og Jesja'ja af Meraris Efterkommere med deres Brødre og Sønner, tyve Mand,
20 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.
og af Tempeltrællene, som David og Øversterne havde stillet til Leviternes Tjeneste, 220 Tempeltrælle, alle med Navns Nævnelse.
21 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.
Så lod jeg der ved Floden Ahava udråbe en Faste til Ydmygelse for vor Guds Åsyn for hos ham at udvirke en lykkelig Rejse for os og vore Familier og Ejendele;
22 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.'
thi jeg undså mig ved at bede Kongen om Krigsfolk og Ryttere til at hjælpe os undervejs mod Fjenden, eftersom vi havde sagt til Kongen: Vor Guds Hånd er over alle; der søger ham, og hjælper dem, men hans Vælde og Vrede kommer over alle dem, der forlader ham.
23 So we fasted and sought God about this, and we pled to him.
Så fastede vi og bad til vor Gud derom, og han bønbørte os.
24 Next I selected twelve men from the priestly officials: Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brothers.
Derpå udvalgte jeg tolv af Præsternes Øverster og Sjerebja og Hasjabja og ti af deres Brødre;
25 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.
og dem tilvejede jeg Sølvet og Guldet og gav dem Karrene, den Offerydelse til vor Guds Hus, som Kongen, hans Rådgivere og Fyrster og alle de der boende Israeliter havde ydet;
26 So I weighed into their hand 650 talents of silver, one hundred talents of silver objects, one hundred talents of gold,
jeg tilvejede dem af Sølv 650 Talenter, Sølvkar til en Værdi af 100 Talenter, af Guld 100 Talenter,
27 twenty gold bowls that were together valued at one thousand darics, and two well-polished bronze vessels as precious as gold.
tyve Guldbægre til 1000 Darejker og to Kar af fint, guldglinsende Kobber, kostbare som Guld.
28 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.
Så sagde jeg til dem: I er helliget HERREN, og Karrene er helliget, og Sølvet og Guldet er en frivillig Gave til HERREN, eders Fædres Gud;
29 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.”
våg derfor over det og vogt på det, indtil I i Påsyn af Præsternes og Leviternes Øverster og Israels Fædrenehuses Øverster vejer det ud i Jerusalem i Kamrene i HERRENs Hus!"
30 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.
Da modtog Præsterne og Leviterne det tilvejede, Sølvet og Guldet og Karrene, for at bringe det til vor Guds Hus i Jerusalem.
31 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.
Så brød vi op fra Floden Ahava på den tolvte Dag i den første Måned for at drage til Jerusalem; og vor Guds Hånd var over os, så han frelste os fra Fjendernes og Røvernes Hånd undervejs.
32 So we entered Jerusalem and stayed there for three days.
Da vi var kommet til Jerusalem, holdt vi os rolige der i tre Dage;
33 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.
og på den fjerde Dag blev Sølvet, Guldet og Karrene afvejet i vor Guds Hus og overgivet Præsten Meremot, Urijas Søn, tillige med El'azar, Pinehas's Søn, og Leviterne Jozabad, Jesuas Søn, og Noadja, Binnujs Søn,
34 The number and weight of everything was determined. All the weight was written down at that time.
alt sammen efter Tal og Vægt, og hele Vægten blev optegnet: På samme Tid
35 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.
bragte de, der kom fra Fangenskabet, de, der havde været i Landflygtighed, Brændofre til Israels Gud: 12 Tyre for hele tsrael, 96 Vædre, 77 Lam og 12 Gedebukke til Syndofre, alt sammen som Brændoffer til HERREN.
36 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.
Og de overgav Kongens Befalinger til Kongens Satraper og Statholderne hinsides Floden, og disse ydede Folket og Guds Hus deres Hjælp.
