Ezra 8
1 This is a list of the family leaders and genealogical records of those who came back with me from Babylon during the reign of King Artaxerxes:
Pa inge inen sifen sou su muta in sruoh in Babylonia ac welul Ezra folokla nu Jerusalem ke pacl Artaxerxes el tokosra fulat:

14 From the sons of Bigvai, Uthai and Zaccur, and with them 70 men.
Uthai ac Zaccur ke fwil natul Bigvai, wi mukul 70
15 I gathered the returning exiles together at the Ahava Canal. We camped there for three days while I reviewed who had come—the ordinary people, the priests, and the Levites. I discovered there wasn't a single Levite
Nga orani u nufon sac nu pe inyoa soko ma sasla nu Ahava, ac kut aktuktuk we len tolu. Nga konauk lah oasr mwet tol in u sac, a wangin mwet Levi.
16 so I sent for Eliezer, Ariel, Shemaiah, Elnathan, Jarib, Elnathan, Nathan, Zechariah, and Meshullam, who were leaders, and for Joiarib and Elnathan, who were men with good insight.
Nga sapla suli eu sin mwet kol lalos: Eliezer, Ariel, Shemaiah, Elnathan, Jarib, Elnathan, Nathan, Zechariah, ac Meshullam, oayapa luo mwet luti: Joiarib ac Elnathan.
17 I told them to go to Iddo, the leader of the Temple servants at Casiphia, asking him and his relatives to send us ministers for the Temple of our God.
Nga supwalosla nu yorol Iddo, su leumi acn Casiphia, in siyuk sel ac mwet kasru lal su orekma ke Tempul, tuh elos in supwama mwet in kulansap nu sin God in Tempul.
18 Since our gracious God was with us, they brought us Sherebiah, a man with good insight from the sons of Mahli, son of Levi, son of Israel, together with his sons and brothers, a total of eighteen men;
Ke lungkulang lun God, elos supwalma Sherebiah, sie mwet fas, su mwet Levi se in fwil natul Mahli; ac mukul singoul oalkosr sin wen natul ac tamulel lal welul tuku.
19 and Hashabiah, along with Jeshaiah, from the sons of Merari, and his brothers and their sons, a total of twenty men.
Elos oayapa supwalma Hashabiah ac Jeshaiah ke fwil natul Merari, wi mwet longoul sin mwet laltal.
20 In addition they brought 220 of the Temple servants, a group appointed by David and his officials to help the Levites. These were all registered by name.
Sayen mwet inge, oasr luofoko longoul mwet orekma ke Tempul su mwet matu lalos tuh srisrngiyuki sel Tokosra David ac mwet pwapa lal tuh elos in kasru mwet Levi. Simisyukla inelos kais sie.
21 At the Ahava Canal I called for a fast so we could confess our sins before God and ask him for a safe journey for us and our children, along with all our possessions.
Ingo sisken Inyoa Ahava, nga sapkin tuh kut nukewa in lalo ac akpusiselye kut ye mutun God lasr, ac siyuk sel tuh Elan kol kut ke fahsr lasr ac lisringkuti ac tulik natusr ac ma lasr nukewa.
22 I had been reluctant to ask the king to give us a military escort to protect us from enemies on the way. We had told the king, “Our gracious God takes care of everyone who follows him, but shows his anger against anyone who abandons him.”
Nga lukun mwekin in siyuk sin tokosra fulat ke sie u in mwet mweun ma kasrusr fin horse in karingin kut ke fufahsryesr lasr liki kutena mwet lokoalok, mweyen nga fahk nu sel tari lah God lasr El akinsewowoyalos nukewa su lulalfongi El, a El lain ac kalyei kutena su forla lukel.
23 So we fasted and asked God to protect us, and he answered our prayers.
Ouinge kut lalo ac pre tuh God Elan karingin kut, ac El topuk pre lasr.
24 Then I designated twelve of the leading priests, and Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brothers,
Inmasrlon mwet tol su fulat, nga tuh sulella Sherebiah, Hashabiah, ac mwet singoul saya.
25 and I weighed out and handed them the donations of silver and gold, and the items that the king, his counselors, his leaders, and all the people of Israel there had given for the Temple of our God.
Na nga pauniya silver, gold ac ahlu in kulansap ma tokosra fulat, mwet pwapa ac mwet fulat lal oayapa mwet Israel nukewa elos tuh sang in orekmakinyuk in Tempul, ac nga sang nu sin mwet tol.
26 I weighed out and placed in their hands 650 talents of silver, silver Temple items weighing 100 talents, 100 talents of gold,
Pa inge ma nga sang nu selos: silver — ton 25 100 ahlu silver, kufwen mwe orekma — paun 150 gold — paun 7,500
27 20 gold bowls worth 1,000 darics, and two articles of highly-polished bronze, as valuable as gold.
20 ahlu gold — paun 16 tafu 2 ahlu bronze wowo — lupan molo uh oana molin ahlu gold.
28 I told them, “You are set apart for the Lord, and these Temple items are too. The silver and gold are a voluntary offering to the Lord, the God of your forefathers.
Nga fahk nu selos, “Kowos mutal ye mutun LEUM GOD lun mwet matu lowos, ac oayapa ahlu silver ac gold su itukyang nu sel ke insewowo, ma inge mutal pac.
29 You are to guard them and keep them safe until you hand them over, weighing them before the high priests, the Levites and the family leaders in Israel at Jerusalem, in the treasury rooms within the Lord's Temple.”
Kowos karinganang akwoya nwe ke kowos sun Tempul. Kowos pauniya ma inge infukil lun mwet tol, ac sang nu sin mwet kol lun mwet tol ac mwet Levi, ac nu sin mwet kol lun Israel in Jerusalem.”
30 The priests and Levites took responsibility for the silver and gold and the Temple items that had been weighed out to be brought to the Temple of our God in Jerusalem.
Ke ma inge mwet tol ac mwet Levi elos eis ac fosrngakin silver, gold, ac kufwen mwe orekma, ac elos usla nu in Tempul Jerusalem.
31 On the twelfth day of the first month, we left the Ahava Canal to go to Jerusalem, and our God was with us to protect us from enemy ambushes along the way.
Len se aksingoul luo ke malem se meet pa kut mukuiyak liki Inyoa Ahava in som nu Jerusalem. God lasr El wi kut ac karingin kut liki mwet lokoalok ac liki mwet su akola in kasriki kut inkanek ah.
32 Eventually we arrived in Jerusalem and rested there for three days.
Ke kut sun acn Jerusalem, kut muta mongla len tolu.
33 On the fourth day the silver and the gold and the Temple items were weighed out in the Temple of our God and handed over to Meremoth, son of Uriah the priest, accompanied by Eleazar, son of Phinehas. Also present were the Levites, Jozabad, son of Jeshua, and Noadiah, son of Binnui.
Na len se akakosr kut som nu ke Tempul, pauniya silver, gold, ac kufwen mwe orekma, na kut sang nu sel Meremoth mwet tol, wen natul Uriah. Mwet tolu welul pa: Eleazar wen natul Phinehas, ac mwet Levi luo, Jozabad wen natul Jeshua, ac Noadiah wen natul Binnui.
34 Everything was checked, both by number and weight, and the total weight was written down at the time.
Ma nukewa oaoala ac paunyuki, ac simla in pacl sac pacna.
35 Then the exiles who had returned from captivity sacrificed burnt offerings to the God of Israel—twelve bulls for all of Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, and a sin offering of twelve goats. All were sacrificed as a burnt offering to the Lord.
Na mwet nukewa su foloko liki sruoh elos use mwe sang lalos tuh in mwe kisa firir nu sin God lun Israel. Elos sang cow mukul 12 ke Israel nufon, wi sheep mukul 96, ac sheep fusr 77. Elos oayapa sang nani 12 mwe aknasnasyalos liki ma koluk. Ma inge nukewa mwe kisa firir nu sin LEUM GOD.
36 They also delivered the king's decrees to the chief officers of the king and the governors of the province west of the Euphrates, who then provided assistance to the people and to God's Temple.
Elos oayapa usla leta se ma tokosra fulat el tuh sang nu selos ac sang nu sel governor ac mwet pwapa lun acn Roto-in-Euphrates, na mwet inge elos oru pac kasru lalos nu sin mwet uh ac nu ke alu in Tempul.
