1 H addaba madaxdii qabiilooyinka waa kuwan, oo kanu waa abtirkii kuwii Baabuloon iga raacay waagii Boqor Artaxshasta dowladnimada haystay.

Of the sons of Bigvai, Uthai and Zabbud; and with them seventy males.

15 O o iyaga waxaan ku soo wada ururiyey webiga u socda xagga Ahawaa, oo halkaasaannu degganayn saddex maalmood; markaasaan dadkii iyo wadaaddadii u fiirsaday, oo halkaasna kama aan helin mid reer Laawi ah.

I gathered them together to the river that runs 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.

16 O o markaasaan u cid diray Eliiceser, iyo Arii'eel, iyo Shemacyaah, iyo Elnaataan, iyo Yaariib, iyo Elnaataan, iyo Naataan, iyo Sekaryaah, iyo Meshullaam, oo wada ahaa rag madax ah, iyo weliba Yooyaariib iyo Elnaataan, oo iyana ahaa macallimiin.

Then 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, who were teachers.

17 O o waxaan iyagii u diray Iddo oo madax ka ahaa meesha Kaasifiyaa la yidhaahdo; oo waxaan iyagii u sheegay wixii ay ku odhan lahaayeen Iddo iyo walaalihiis oo reer Netiiniim ah oo jooga meesha la yidhaahdo Kaasifiyaa, inay noo keenaan midiidinno ka dhex adeega guriga Ilaahayaga.

I sent them out to Iddo the chief at the place Casiphia; and I told them what they should tell Iddo, and his brothers the Nethinim, at the place Casiphia, that they should bring to us ministers for the house of our God.

18 O o sidii ay gacanta wanaagsan oo Ilaahayagu noo saarnayd, waxay noo keeneen nin waxgarad ah oo ah reer Maxlii, oo ka ah reer Laawi, oo ka sii ah reer binu Israa'iil, iyo Sheereebyaah, iyo wiilashiisii iyo walaalihiis oo siddeed iyo toban isku ahaa,

According to the good hand of our God on 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 brothers, eighteen;

19 i yo Xashabyaah, iyo Yeshacyaah oo ahaa reer Meraarii, iyo walaalihiis iyo wiilashoodii oo labaatan isku ahaa,

and Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah of the sons of Merari, his brothers and their sons, twenty;

20 i yo reer Netiiniim oo ay Daa'uud iyo amiirradiisii u dhiibeen adeegiddii reer Laawi oo laba boqol iyo labaatan ahaa, oo dhammaantoodna ninba magiciisii baa loogu yeedhi jiray.

and 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.

21 O o markaasaan, intii aannu joognay Webi Ahawaa, halkaas kaga dhawaaqay in la soomo, inaannu isku hoosaysiinno Ilaahayaga hortiisa, inaannu ka barinno jid toosan oo annaga iyo dhallaankayaga iyo xoolahayaga oo dhammuba aannu marno.

Then 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.

22 W aayo, waxaan ka xishooday inaan boqorka weyddiisto koox askar iyo fardooley ah inay naga caawiyaan cadowga jidka noo jooga, maxaa yeelay, boqorka baannu la hadallay oo ku nidhi, Gacanta Ilaahayagu waxay saaran tahay intii isaga doondoonta oo dhan, wayna u wanaagsan tahay; laakiinse xooggiisa iyo cadhadiisu waxay ka gees yihiin in alla intii isaga ka tagta oo dhan.

For I was ashamed to ask of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy on the way, because we had spoken to the king, saying, “The hand of our God is on all those who seek him, for good; but his power and his wrath is against all those who forsake him.”

23 S idaas daraaddeed waannu soonnay, oo waxaannu ka barinnay Ilaahayo wax taas ku saabsan, wuuna naga aqbalay.

So we fasted and begged our God for this: and he was entreated of us.

24 M arkaasaan gooni u soocay laba iyo toban nin oo wadaaddada madaxdoodii ah, oo waxay ahaayeen Sheereebyaah iyo Xashabyaah, iyo toban iyaga la jiray oo walaalahood ah,

Then I set apart twelve of the chiefs of the priests, even Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brothers with them,

25 o o waxaan u miisaamay lacagtii iyo dahabkii iyo weelashii ahaa qurbaankii loo bixiyey guriga Ilaah oo ay wada bixiyeen boqorkii iyo lataliyayaashiisii iyo amiirradiisii, iyo reer binu Israa'iilkii halkaas joogay oo dhan.

and weighed to them the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, even the offering for the house of our God, which the king, and his counselors, and his princes, and all Israel there present, had offered:

26 W axaan iyaga u miisaamay oo gacanta u geliyey lix boqol iyo konton talanti oo lacag ah, iyo weelal lacag ah oo iyana boqol talanti ah, iyo boqol talanti oo dahab ah,

I weighed into their hand six hundred fifty talents of silver, and silver vessels one hundred talents; of gold one hundred talents;

27 i yo labaatan maddiibadood oo dahab ah oo iyana kun dirham ah, iyo laba weel oo ah naxaas dhalaalaysa oo sida dahab qaali u ah.

and twenty bowls of gold, of one thousand darics; and two vessels of fine bright brass, precious as gold.

28 O o markaasaan ku idhi, Idinku Rabbigaad quduus u tihiin oo weelashuna waa quduus, oo lacagta iyo dahabka waa qurbaan ikhtiyaar loogu bixiyey Rabbiga ah Ilaaha awowayaashiin.

I said to them, “You are holy to Yahweh, and the vessels are holy; and the silver and the gold are a freewill offering to Yahweh, the God of your fathers.

29 H addaba idinku dhawra oo xajiya ilaa aad ku hor miisaantaan wadaaddada sare, iyo kuwa reer Laawi, iyo amiirrada qolooyinka reer binu Israa'iil, idinkoo jooga qolladaha guriga Ilaah ee Yeruusaalem.

Watch, and keep them, until you weigh them before the chiefs of the priests and the Levites, and the princes of the fathers’ households of Israel, at Jerusalem, in the rooms of Yahweh’s house.”

30 S idaasay wadaaddadii iyo kuwii reer Laawi u aqbaleen miisaankii lacagtii iyo dahabkii iyo weelashii inay geeyaan Yeruusaalem iyo ilaa guriga Ilaahayo.

So the priests and the Levites received the weight of the silver and the gold, and the vessels, to bring them to Jerusalem to the house of our God.

31 M arkaasaannu Webi Ahawaa ka tagnay, oo Yeruusaalem u ambabbaxnay bishii kowaad maalinteedii laba iyo tobnaad; oo waxaa na saarnayd gacantii Ilaahayo, wuuna naga samatabbixiyey gacantii cadowga iyo kuwii jidka noogu gabbanayay.

Then we departed from the river Ahava on the twelfth day of the first month, to go to Jerusalem: and the hand of our God was on us, and he delivered us from the hand of the enemy and the bandit by the way.

32 O o waxaannu nimid Yeruusaalem oo halkaasaannu intii saddex maalmood ah iska joognay.

We came to Jerusalem, and stayed there three days.

33 O o maalintii afraad ayaa lacagtii iyo dahabkii iyo weelashii lagu dhex miisaamay gurigii Ilaahayo oo waxaa gacanta loo geliyey wadaadkii Mereemood oo ahaa ina Uuriyaah, oo waxaa isaga la jiray Elecaasaar oo ahaa ina Fiinexaas; oo waxaa kaloo iyaga la jiray Yoosaabaad oo ahaa ina Yeeshuuca, iyo Noocadyaah oo ahaa ina Binnuwii oo iyana ahaa reer Laawi;

On the fourth day the silver and the gold and the vessels were 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 Levite;

34 o o alaabtii oo dhan waxay ku wada guddoomeen tiro iyo miisaan, oo miisaankii oo dhanna waagaas ayaa la wada qoray.

the whole by number and by weight: and all the weight was written at that time.

35 O o dadkii maxaabiista ahaan jiray ee masaafuriska ka soo noqday, waxay Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil allabaryo la gubo ugu bixiyeen laba iyo toban dibi reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan aawadiis, iyo lix iyo sagaashan wan, iyo toddoba iyo toddobaatan baraar ah, iyo laba iyo toban orgi oo qurbaan dembi loo bixiyey; oo kulli intaas oo dhammu waxay ahaayeen allabaryo la gubo oo Rabbiga loo bixiyey.

The children of the captivity, who had come out of exile, offered burnt offerings to the God of Israel, twelve bulls for all Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, and twelve male goats for a sin offering: all this was a burnt offering to Yahweh.

36 O o waxay amarkii boqorka u geeyeen saraakiishii boqorka iyo taliyayaashii webiga ka shisheeyey; oo iyana way taageereen dadkii iyo gurigii Ilaah.

They delivered the king’s commissions to the king’s satraps, and to the governors beyond the River: and they furthered the people and God’s house.
