Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1When the wall had been rebuilt and I had set the doors in place, the gatekeepers, singers, and Levites were appointed.
1Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he langaʻi ʻae ʻā maka, pea kuo ʻosi ʻeku fokotuʻu hake ʻae ngaahi matapā, pea mo e kau leʻo matapā mo e kau hiva mo e kau Livai kuo tuʻutuʻuni,
2Then I put my brother Hanani in charge of Jerusalem, along with Hananiah the commander of the fortress, because he was a faithful man who feared God more than most.
2Naʻaku tuku ki hoku tokoua ko Hanani, mo Hanania ko e pule ʻoe fale lahi, ke na pule ki Selūsalema: he ko e tangata angatonu ia, pea manavahē lahi ia ki he ʻOtua ʻi he tokolahi.
3And I told them, “Do not open the gates of Jerusalem until the sun is hot. While the guards are on duty, keep the doors shut and securely fastened. And appoint the residents of Jerusalem as guards, some at their posts and some at their own homes.”
3Pea ne u pehē kiate kinaua, “ʻOua naʻa tuku ke ava ʻae ngaahi matapā ki Selūsalema kaeʻoua ke mafana ʻae laʻā: pea ʻi heʻena tuʻu ʻo ofi, tuku kenau tāpuni ʻae ngaahi matapā, pea ʻai ki ai ʻae ʻakau fakamaʻu: pea fakanofo ʻae kau leʻo ʻi he kakai ʻo Selūsalema, taki taha ʻi hono lakanga, pea taki taha hangatonu ki hono fale ʻoʻona.”
4Now the city was large and spacious, but there were few people in it, and the houses had not yet been rebuilt.
4Pea naʻe ʻataʻatā ʻae kolo pea lahi: ka naʻe tokosiʻi ʻae kakai naʻe ʻi ai, pea naʻe ʻikai langa ʻae ngaahi fale.
5Then my God put it into my heart to assemble the nobles, the officials, and the people to be enrolled by genealogy. I found the genealogical register of those who had first returned, and I found the following written in it:
5¶ Pea naʻe tuku ki hoku loto ʻe hoku ʻOtua ke tānaki fakataha ʻae houʻeiki, mo e kau pule, mo e kakai, koeʻuhi ke lau fakahokohoko pē ʻakinautolu. Pea ne u ʻilo ʻae tohi ʻoe hokohoko ʻokinautolu naʻe muʻaki ʻalu hake pea u ʻilo kuo tohi ai;
6These are the people of the province who came up from the captivity of the exiles carried away to Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar its king. They returned to Jerusalem and Judah, each to his own town,
6Ko e ngaahi fānau eni ʻoe fonua, ʻaia naʻe ʻalu hake mei he pōpula, ʻakinautolu naʻe fetuku ʻo ʻave pōpula, ʻaia naʻe fetuku ʻe Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone, ʻonau toe haʻu ki Selūsalema mo Siuta, takitaha ki heʻene kolo;

61The following came up from Tel-melah, Tel-harsha, Cherub, Addon, and Immer, but could not prove that their families were descended from Israel:
61Pea ko kinautolu eni ʻaia naʻe ʻalu hake foki mei Telimela mo Telihalesa, mo Kilupi, mo ʻAtoni, mo Imeli: ka naʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa fakahā ʻae fale ʻo ʻenau tamai, pe ko honau hoko, pe naʻe ʻo ʻIsileli ʻakinautolu pe ʻikai.

63Pea ʻi he kau taulaʻeiki: ko e fānau ʻa Hopaia, ko e fānau ʻa Kose, ko e fānau ʻa Pasilai, ʻaia naʻa ne ʻave ʻae ʻofefine ʻe taha ʻo Pasilai ko e tangata Kiliati ko hono uaifi, pea naʻe ui ia ki hono hingoa ʻoʻona.
64These men searched for their family records, but they could not find them and so were excluded from the priesthood as unclean.
64¶ Naʻe kumi ʻekinautolu honau hohoko fakataha mo kinautolu naʻe lau ʻi he hokohoko, ka naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ia: ko ia naʻe tukuange ai ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ha taʻemaʻa mei he ngāue fakataulaʻeiki.
65The governor ordered them not to eat the most holy things until there was a priest to consult the Urim and Thummim.
65Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he pule kiate kinautolu, ke ʻoua naʻa nau kai ʻi he ngaahi meʻa māʻoniʻoni lahi, ke ʻoua ke tuʻu hake ha taulaʻeiki mo e ʻUlimi mo e Tumemi.
66The whole assembly numbered 42,360,
66¶ Ko hono tokolahi ʻoe kakai kātoa ko e toko fā mano mo e toko ua afe mo e toko tolungeau mā onongofulu.
67in addition to their 7,337 menservants and maidservants, as well as their 245 male and female singers.
67Ka naʻe lau kehe ʻenau kau tamaioʻeiki mo honau kau kaunanga, ko e toko fitu afe mo e toko tolungeau, mā tolungofulu mā fitu: pea naʻe ʻiate kinautolu ʻae kau tangata hiva mo e kau fefine hiva ko e toko uangeau mo e toko fāngofulu mā nima.
68They had 736 horses, 245 mules,
68Ko ʻenau fanga hoosi, ko e fitungeau mo e tolungofulu mā ono: ko ʻenau fanga miuli, ko e uangeau mo e fāngofulu mā nima:
69435 camels, and 6,720 donkeys.
69Ko ʻenau fanga kāmeli, ko e fāngeau mo e tolungofulu mā nima: ko e fanga ʻasi ko e ono afe mo e fitungeau mo e uofulu.
70Some of the heads of the families contributed to the project. The governor gave to the treasury 1,000 darics of gold, 50 bowls, and 530 priestly garments.
70¶ Pea naʻe foaki meʻa ki he ngāue ʻe he niʻihi ʻoe kau mātuʻa tuʻukimuʻa. Naʻe foaki ʻe he pule ki he fale koloa ʻae koula ko e talami ʻe taha afe, mo e ipu luoluo ʻe nimangofulu, mo e kofu fakataulaʻeiki ʻe nimangeau ma tolungofulu.
71And some of the heads of the families gave to the treasury for the project 20,000 darics of gold and 2,200 minas of silver.
71Pea naʻe foaki ʻe he kau tuʻukimuʻa niʻihi ʻoe kau mātuʻa ki he koloa ʻoe ngāue ko e talami koula ʻe ua mano, mo e paunite siliva ʻe ua afe ma uangeau.
72The rest of the people gave a total of 20,000 darics of gold, 2,000 minas of silver, and 67 priestly garments.
72Pea ko ia naʻe foaki ʻe he kakai naʻe toe ko e talami koula ʻe ua mano, mo e paunite siliva ʻe ua afe, mo e kofu fakataulaʻeiki ʻe onongofulu ma fitu.
73So the priests, Levites, gatekeepers, singers, and temple servants, along with some of the people and the rest of the Israelites, settled in their own towns. And by the seventh month the Israelites had settled in their towns.
73Ko ia naʻe nofo ʻi honau ngaahi kolo ʻae kau taulaʻeiki, mo e kau Livai, mo e kau leʻo matapā, mo e kau hiva, mo e kakai niʻihi, mo e kau Netenimi, mo ʻIsileli kotoa pē: pea ʻi he hokosia hono fitu ʻoe māhina, naʻe nofo ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi honau ngaahi kolo.
