Ezra 8
1 And these [are] the heads of their families, the leaders that went up with me in the reign of Arthasastha the king of Babylon.
Na ko nga upoko enei o nga whare o o ratou matua, ko nga whakapaparanga ano enei o te hunga i haere atu hei hoa moku i Papurona, i te kingitanga o Kingi Arataherehe.

15 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.
Na ka huihuia ratou e ahau ki te awa e rere ana ki Ahawa, a noho ana matou i reira e toru nga ra; a, i taku tirohanga i te iwi, i nga tohunga, na kihai tetahi o nga tama a Riwai i kitea e ahau ki reira.
16 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.
Katahi ahau ka tono kia tikina a Erietere, a Ariere, a Hemaia, a Erenatana, a Iaripi, a Erenatana, a Natana, a Hakaraia, a Mehurama, he upoko enei; a Toiaripi ano a Erenatana, he kaiwhakaako raua.
17 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.
Na ka unga ratou e ahau ki a Iro; ki te upoko o te kainga, o Kahipia; a i hoatu ano e ahau he kupu hei korero ma ratou ki a Iro ratou ko ona teina, ko nga Netinimi, i te kainga, i Kahipia, kia kawea mai ai e ratou he minita ki a matou mo te whar e o to tatou Atua.
18 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.
Na i runga i a matou te ringa pai o to matou Atua, a ka kawea mai e ratou ki a matou he tangata whai whakaaro, no nga tama a Mahari, tama a Riwai, tama a Iharaira; a Herepia ano ratou ko ana tama, ko ona tuakana, teina, kotahi tekau ma waru;
19 And Asebia, and Isaia of the sons of Merari, his brethren and his sons, twenty.
A Hahapia hoki me Ihaia, no nga tama a Merari, ratou ko ona tuakana, teina, me a ratou tama, e rua tekau;
20 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.
O nga Netinimi ano i whakaritea nei e Rawiri, e nga rangatira, mo nga mahi a nga Riwaiti, e rua rau e rua tekau nga Netinimi; he mea whakahua katoa o ratou ingoa.
21 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.
Katahi ka karangatia e ahau he nohopuku ki reira ki te taha o te awa o Ahawa, kia whakaiti ai matou i a matou ki te aroaro o to matou Atua, kia rapua ai e matou i a ia te ara tika mo matou, mo a matou tamariki, mo o matou taonga katoa.
22 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.
I whakama hoki ahau ki te tono ki te kingi i tetahi ropu hoia me etahi kaieke hoiho hei tuara mo matou ki te hoariri i te ara; i korero hoki matou ki te kingi, i mea, Kei runga te ringa o to matou Atua i te hunga katoa e rapu ana i a ia, hei pai mo ratou: otiia ka whawhai tona kaha, me tona riri, ki te hunga katoa e whakarere ana i a ia.
23 So we fasted, and asked of our God concerning this; and he listened to us.
Na, nohopuku ana matou, rapua ana e matou he tikanga i to matou Atua mo tenei mea, a tahuri mai ana ia ki a matou.
24 And I gave charge to twelve of the chiefs of the priests, to Saraia, to Asabia, and ten of their brethren with them.
Na ka motuhia e ahau etahi o nga tohunga kotahi tekau ma rua, a Herepia, a Hahapia, me o ratou teina kotahi tekau.
25 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.
Paunatia ana e ahau te hiriwa, te koura, me nga oko ara te whakahere ki te whare o to matou Atua i homai nei e te kingi ratou ko ana kaiwhakatakoto whakaaro, ko ana rangatira, e Iharaira katoa ano i reira.
26 I even weighed into their hands six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and a hundred silver vessels, and a hundred talents of gold;
I paunatia ano e ahau ki o ratou ringa te hiriwa e ono rau e rima tekau taranata, nga oko hiriwa kotahi rau taranata; te koura kotahi rau taranata.
27 and twenty golden bowls, [weighing] about a thousand drachmas, and superior vessels of fine shining brass, [precious] as gold.
Me nga peihana koura e rua tekau, kotahi mano tarami te taimaha; me nga oko e rua, he parahi pai, kanapa tonu, rite tonu ki te koura te utu nui.
28 And I said to them, You [are] holy to the Lord; and the vessels [are] holy; and the silver and the gold are free will offerings to the Lord God of our fathers.
I mea ano ahau ki a ratou, He tapu koutou ki a Ihowa, he tapu hoki nga oko; he mea whakahere noa ake ano hoki te hiriwa me te koura ma Ihowa, ma te Atua o o koutou matua.
29 Be watchful and keep them, until you 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.
Matapoporetia iho, tiakina, kia paunatia ra ano e koutou ki te aroaro o nga rangatira, o nga tohunga, o nga Riwaiti, o nga rangatira o nga whare o nga matua o Iharaira, ki Hiruharama, i roto i nga ruma o te whare o Ihowa.
30 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.
Heoi riro ana i nga tohunga, i nga Riwaiti, te taimaha o te hiriwa, o te koura, o nga oko, hei mau ki Hiruharama, ki te whare o to tatou Atua.
31 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.
Na ka turia e matou i te awa o Ahawa i te tekau ma rua o te marama tuatahi, ka haere ki Hiruharama. I runga hoki i a matou te ringa o to matou Atua, a whakaorangia ana matou e ia i te ringa o te hoariri, o te kaiwhanga i te ara.
32 And we came to Jerusalem, and abode there three days.
Na kua tae matou ki Hiruharama, a noho ana i reira, e toru nga ra.
33 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.
I te wha o nga ra, na ko taua hiriwa, koura, me nga oko, ka paunatia i roto i te whare o to tatou Atua e te ringa o Meremoto tama a Uria tohunga; i a ia ano a Ereatara tama a Pinehaha; i a raua hoki a Iotapara tama a Hehua; raua ko Noaria tama a Pinui, no nga Riwaiti.
34 All things [were reckoned] by number and weight, and the whole weight was written [down].
He mea tatau, he mea pauna, tenei, tenei; i tuhituhia hoki nga taimaha katoa i taua wa ano.
35 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.
Na, ko te hunga i haere mai nei i te whakarau, nga tama a te hunga i whakaraua atu, tapaea ana e ratou he tahunga tinana ma te Atua o Iharaira, kotahi tekau ma rua puru, he mea mo Iharaira katoa, e iwa tekau ma ono hipi toa, e whitu tekau ma whi tu reme, tekau ma rua koati toa, hei whakahere hara: ko tenei katoa hei tahunga tinana ki a Ihowa.
36 And they gave the king's mandate to the king's lieutenants, and the governors beyond the river: and they honored the people and the house of God.
Na ka hoatu nga ture a te kingi ki nga kawana nui a te kingi, ki nga kawana iti i tera taha o te awa; a ko ratou hei whakaneke ake i ta te iwi, i te whare ano o te Atua.
