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:

¹Need olid perekondade peamehed ja need suguvõsakirjades olijad, kes kuningas Artahsasta valitsemisajal koos minuga Paabelist teele läksid:

²Of the sons of Phinehas, Gershom. Of the sons of Ithamar, Daniel. Of the sons of David, Hattush.

²Piinehasi poegadest Geersom, Iitamari poegadest Taaniel, Taaveti poegadest Hattus, Sekanja poeg;

³Of the sons of Shecaniah, of the sons of Parosh, Zechariah; and with him were reckoned by genealogy of the males a hundred and fifty.

³Parosi poegadest Sakarja ja koos temaga sada viiskümmend suguvõsakirjas olnud meest;

¹²And of the sons of Azgad, Johanan the son of Hakkatan; and with him a hundred and ten males.

¹²Asgadi poegadest Joohanan, Hakkatani poeg, ja koos temaga sada kümme meest;

¹³And of the sons of Adonikam, [that were] the last; and these are their names: Eliphelet, Jeuel, and Shemaiah; and with them threescore males.

¹³Adonikami poegadest viimastena tulnud - nende nimed olid Elifelet, Jeiel ja Semaja, ja koos nendega kuuskümmend meest;

¹⁴And of the sons of Bigvai, Uthai and Zabbud; and with them seventy males.

¹⁴Bigvai poegadest Uutai ja Sabbud ja koos nendega seitsekümmend meest.

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.

¹⁵Ma kogusin nad jõe äärde, mis Ahava poole voolab, ja me olime seal kolm päeva leeris; aga kui ma vaatlesin rahvast ja preestreid, siis ei leidnud ma seal ühtegi Leevi poegadest.

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, who were teachers.

¹⁶Siis ma läkitasin peamehed Elieseri, Arieli, Semaja, Elnatani, Jaaribi, Elnatani, Naatani, Sakarja ja Mesullami ning õpetajad Joojaribi ja Elnatani

¹⁷And I sent them forth unto Iddo the chief at the place Casiphia; and I told them what they should say unto Iddo, [and] his brethren the Nethinim, at the place Casiphia, that they should bring unto us ministers for the house of our God.

¹⁷ning käskisin neid minna Iddo juurde, kes oli peamees Kaasifja paikkonnas; ma panin neile suhu sõnad, mis nad pidid rääkima Iddole ja tema vennale, kes asusid Kaasifja paikkonnas, et nad saadaksid meile teenreid meie Jumala koja jaoks.

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;

¹⁸Ja nad saatsid meile, kuna meie Jumala hea käsi oli meie peal, ühe aruka mehe, Iisraeli poja Leevi poja Mahli poegadest, Seerebja, tema pojad ja vennad - kaheksateist meest;

¹⁹and Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah of the sons of Merari, his brethren and their sons, twenty;

¹⁹ja Hasabja ja koos temaga Jesaja, Merari poegadest, tema vennad ja nende pojad - kakskümmend;

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.

²⁰ja templisulastest, keda Taavet ja vürstid olid pannud leviite teenima, kakssada kakskümmend templisulast, kõik nimeliselt mainitud.

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.

²¹Ja ma kuulutasin seal Ahava jõe ääres paastu, et me alandaksime iseendid oma Jumala ees ja paluksime temalt õnnelikku teekonda enestele ja oma lastele ja kogu oma varale.

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.

²²Sest mul oli häbi kuningalt küsida sõjaväge ja ratsanikke, et need kaitseksid meid teekonnal vaenlaste vastu, vaid me rääkisime kuningaga ja ütlesime: 'Meie Jumala käsi on heana kõigi peal, kes teda otsivad, aga tema võim ja viha on kõigi vastu, kes tema hülgavad.'

²³So we fasted and besought our God for this: and he was entreated of us.

²³Nõnda me paastusime ja otsisime selles asjas abi oma Jumalalt, ja tema kuulis meie palvet.

²⁴Then I set apart twelve of the chiefs of the priests, even Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brethren with them,

²⁴Ja ma valisin ülemaist preestreist kaksteist, lisaks Serebja, Hasabja ja koos nendega kümme nende vendadest.

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:

²⁵Siis ma vaagisin neile hõbeda ja kulla ja riistad, tõstelõivu meie Jumala kojale, mis kuningas ja tema nõuandjad ja vürstid ning kogu seal olev Iisrael olid andnud.

²⁶I weighed into their hand six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and silver vessels a hundred talents; of gold a hundred talents;

²⁶Ma vaagisin neile kätte kuussada viiskümmend talenti hõbedat, saja talendi eest hõberiistu ja sada talenti kulda;

²⁷and twenty bowls of gold, of a thousand darics; and two vessels of fine bright brass, precious as gold.

²⁷kakskümmend kuldkarikat, tuhat adarkoni väärt, ja kaks hästi hiilgavat vaskriista, kallid nagu kuld.

²⁸And I said unto them, Ye are holy unto Jehovah, and the vessels are holy; and the silver and the gold are a freewill-offering unto Jehovah, the God of your fathers.

²⁸Ja ma ütlesin neile: 'Teie olete pühitsetud Issandale, nõndasamuti on pühitsetud ka riistad; hõbe ja kuld on vabatahtlik and Issandale, teie vanemate Jumalale.

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 Jehovah.

²⁹Valvake ja hoidke neid, kuni te need vaete ülemate preestrite ja leviitide ning Iisraeli perekondade peameeste ees Jeruusalemmas Issanda koja kambritesse!'

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.

³⁰Siis võtsid preestrid ja leviidid vastu vaetud hõbeda ja kulla ning riistad, et viia need Jeruusalemma meie Jumala kotta.

³¹Then we departed from the river 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 the lier-in-wait by the way.

³¹Ja me läksime Ahava jõe äärest teele esimese kuu kaheteistkümnendal päeval, et minna Jeruusalemma; meie Jumala käsi oli meie peal ja ta päästis meid vaenlaste ja teeröövlite käest.

³²And we came to Jerusalem, and abode there three days.

³²Ja me tulime Jeruusalemma ning viibisime seal kolm päeva.

³³And 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;

³³Aga neljandal päeval vaeti hõbe ja kuld ning riistad meie Jumala kotta, preester Meremoti, Uurija poja kätte; ja koos temaga oli Eleasar, Piinehasi poeg; ja koos nendega olid leviidid Joosabad, Jeesua poeg, ja Nooadja, Binnui poeg.

³⁴the whole by number and by weight: and all the weight was written at that time.

³⁴Kõik loeti ja vaeti üle ja kõik, mis vaeti, pandi siis kirja.

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 Jehovah.

³⁵Vangist tulnud asumiselesaadetud ohverdasid põletusohvriks Iisraeli Jumalale kaksteist härjavärssi kogu Iisraeli eest, üheksakümmend kuus jäära, seitsekümmend seitse oinastalle ja kaksteist patuohvri sikku - kõik põletusohvriks Issandale.

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.

³⁶Ja nad andsid kuninga käsu üle kuninga asehaldureile ja maavalitsejaile siinpool Frati jõge, ja need aitasid rahvast ning Jumala koda.
