1Now these are the heads of their fathers' houses, and this is the genealogy of them that went up with me from Babylon, in the reign of Artaxerxes the king.
1Siangpahrang Artaxxerxes dung ah, kai hoi nawnto Babylon hoiah angzo, ahmin pakuemhaih cabu thungah kaom, acaeng ukkungnawk ih ahmin loe hae tiah oh;

15And I gathered them together to the river that runneth to Ahava; and there we encamped three days; and I viewed the people, and the priests, and found there none of the sons of Levi.
15Nihcae to Ahava bangah kalong vapui ah kaminawk to kam khuengsak moe, to ah ni thumto kahni imthung ah ka cam o; kaminawk hoi qaimanawk ka pakoep naah, Levi kami maeto doeh ka hnu ai.
16Then sent I for Eliezer, for Ariel, for Shemaiah, and for Elnathan, and for Jarib, and for Elnathan, and for Nathan, and for Zechariah, and for Meshullam, chief men; also for Joiarib, and for Elnathan, teachers.
16To pongah zaehoikung ah kaom Elierzer, Ariel, Shemaiah, Elnathan, Jarib, Elnathan, Nathan, Zekariah, Meshullam, palungha kami, Joiarib hoi Elnathan cae to ka kawk moe,
17And I gave them commandment unto Iddo the chief at the place Casiphia; and I told them what they should say unto Iddo and his brother, who were set over the place Casiphia, that they should bring unto us ministers for the house of our God.
17nihcae to Kasiphia vangpui kaminawk zaehoikung Iddo khaeah ka patoeh, Iddo khaeah, Kasiphia vangpui ih Sithaw im ah toksah angmah ih nawkamyanawk, kaicae Sithaw im ah toksak han ih angzoh haih hanah lok ka thuih pae.
18And according to the good hand of our God upon us they brought us a man of discretion, of the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel; and Sherebiah, with his sons and his brethren, eighteen;
18Aicae nuiah aicae Sithaw hoihhaih ban to amtueng pongah, nihcae mah ahmin kamthang kami, Israel capa Levi, Levi capa Mahli caanawk thung ih, Sherebiah hoi a capanawk, angmah ih nawkamya hatlai tazetto anih hoi nawnto angzoh.
19and Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah of the sons of Merari, his brethren and their sons, twenty;
19Hashabiah, Merari acaeng, Jeshaiah, angmah ih nawkamyanawk hoi a caanawk pumphaeto doeh ka patoeh o.
20and of the Nethinim, whom David and the princes had given for the service of the Levites, two hundred and twenty Nethinim; all of them were mentioned by name.
20Levinawk abomh hanah, David hoi angmah ih angraengnawk mah suek ih, ahmin tarik ah kaom im thungah toksah kaminawk, cumvai hnet, pumphaeto angzoh o haih.
21Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God, to seek of Him a straight way, for us, and for our little ones, and for all our substance.
21To naah Sithaw mah, ka tawnh o ih hmuennawk, nawktanawk hoi kaicae khaeah toenghaih loklam to patuek hanah, Sithaw hmaa ah, buhzah hanah, Ahava vapui taengah lok ka thuih pae.
22For I was ashamed to ask of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way; because we had spoken unto the king, saying: 'The hand of our God is upon all them that seek Him, for good; but His power and His wrath is against all them that forsake Him.'
22Siangpahrang khaeah, Kaicae Sithaw tahmenhaih ban loe anih pakrong kaminawk boih nuiah oh, toe anih pahnawt kaminawk nuiah loe, kalen parai palungphuihaih to oh, tiah ka thuih boeh pongah, loklam ah kaicae ih misa ban thung hoiah abomh hanah, siangpahrang khaeah misatuh kami hoi hrang angthueng kaminawk hnik hanah ka zat.
23So we fasted and besought our God for this; and He was entreated of us.
23To pongah buh ka zah o moe, lawkthuihaih hoiah kaicae ih Sithaw khaeah ka hnik o, anih mah kaicae lawkthuihaih lok to ang tahngaih pae.
24Then I separated twelve of the chiefs of the priests, besides Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brethren with them,
24Kalen koek qaima hatlai hnetto, Sherebiah, Hashabiah hoi angmah ih nawkamya hatonawk to ka tapraek pacoengah,
25and weighed unto them the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, even the offering for the house of our God, which the king, and his counsellors, and his princes, and all Israel there present, had offered;
25siangpahrang hoi poekhaih kahoih paek kaminawk, angmah ih kaminawk, angraengnawk hoi Israel kaminawk boih mah, aicae Sithaw im hanah paek o ih sui, sumkanglung hoi laom sabaenawk to ka noek pae.
26I even weighed into their hand six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and silver vessels a hundred talents; of gold a hundred talents;
26Nihcae khaeah sumkanglung talent cumvai taruk, quipangato, sumkanglung hoi sak ih laom sabaenawk talent cumvaito, sui talent cumvaito,
27and twenty bowels of gold, of a thousand darics; and two vessels of fine bright brass, precious as gold.
27Dram sangto kating, sui boengloeng pumphaeto, sui baktiah atho kana, sumkamling hoiah sak ih boengloeng hnetto doeh ka tah pae.
28And I said unto them: 'Ye are holy unto the LORD, and the vessels are holy; and the silver and the gold are a freewill-offering unto the LORD, the God of your fathers.
28Nihcae khaeah, Nangcae loe Angraeng hanah na ciim o; laom sabaenawk doeh ciim; sui hoi sumkanglungnawk loe nam panawk ih Sithaw khaeah paek koehhaih palungthin hoiah na paek o ih hmuen ah ni oh.
29Watch ye, and keep them, until ye weigh them before the chiefs of the priests and the Levites, and the princes of the fathers' houses of Israel, at Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of the LORD.'
29Hae hmuennawk loe Jerusalem ih Angraeng imthung ah, kacoehta ah kaom qaimanawk, Levinawk hoi Israel caanawk hmaa ah na tah o ai karoek to toep oh loe, pakuem oh, tiah ka naa.
30So the priests and the Levites received the weight of the silver and the gold, and the vessels, to bring them to Jerusalem unto the house of our God.
30To pongah Jerusalem ih kaicae Sithaw im ah sin hanah, sumkanglung, sui hoi laom sabaenawk to qaima hoi Levinawk mah tah o.
31Then we departed from the river of Ahava on the twelfth day of the first month, to go unto Jerusalem; and the hand of our God was upon us, and He delivered us from the hand of the enemy and lier-in-wait by the way.
31Amtong tangsuekhaih khrah, ni hatlai hnetto naah, Ahava vapui hoi kang thawk o moe, Jerusalem ah ka caeh o; Sithaw ih ban kaicae nuiah oh pongah, anih mah lam taengah angang, misa ban thung hoiah ang loihsak.
32And we came to Jerusalem, and abode there three days.
32To tiah Jerusalem to ka phak o moe, ni thumto kang hak o.
33And on the fourth day was the silver and the gold and the vessels weighed in the house of our God into the hand of Meremoth the son of Uriah the priest; and with him was Eleazar the son of Phinehas; and with them was Jozabad the son of Jeshua, and Noadiah the son of Binnui, the Levites;
33Ni palito naah loe qaima Uriah capa Meremoth mah, sui, sumkanglung hoi laom sabaenawk to aicae Sithaw imthung ah tah pae; Phinehas capa Eleazar, Levi acaeng, Joshua capa Jozabad hoi Binnui capa Noadiah doeh to ah oh o toeng.
34the whole by number and by weight; and all the weight was written at that time.
34Hmuen boih kroek o moe, a tah o; a tah o ih kazit hmuen loe to ih cabu thungah pakuem o boih.
35The children of the captivity, that were come out of exile, offered burnt-offerings unto the God of Israel, twelve bullocks for all Israel, ninety and six rams, seventy and seven lambs, twelve he-goats for a sin-offering; all this was a burnt-offering unto the LORD.
35To pacoengah misong laemhhaih thung hoiah kaloih kaminawk mah Israel Sithaw khaeah hmai angbawnhaih to sak o; Israel caanawk boih hanah, maitaw tae hatlai hnetto, tuu tae qui takawt, tarukto, tuucaa qui sarih, sarihto, zae angbawnhaih maeh tae hatlai hnetto a paek o; hae boih loe Angraeng khaeah hmai angbawnhaih sak hanah paek ih hmuen ah oh.
36And they delivered the king's commissions unto the king's satraps, and to the governors beyond the River; and they furthered the people and the house of God.
36Siangpahrang lokpaekhaih to siangpahrang toksak bomkung hoi vapui yaeh ukkungnawk khaeah thuih pae o; nihcae mah Israel kaminawk hoi Sithaw im to sak abomh o.
