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

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.

¹⁵And I gathered them together at the river that runs to Ahava; and there we encamped three days; and I surveyed the people and the priests, and found none of the sons of Levi there.

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

¹⁶And I sent 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, and for Joiarib and for Elnathan, men of understanding.

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.

¹⁷And I gave them a commission to Iddo the chief, at the place Casiphia, and I put words in their mouths to say to Iddo [and] his brethren the Nethinim, at the place Casiphia, that they should bring to us ministers for the house of our God.

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;

¹⁸And by the good hand of our God upon us, they brought us a man of understanding, of the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel, namely, Sherebiah, with his sons and his brethren, eighteen;

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

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

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

²⁰and of the Nethinim, whom David and the princes had appointed for the service of the Levites, two hundred and twenty Nethinim: all of them were expressed by name.

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.

²¹And I proclaimed a fast there, at the river Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God, to seek of him a right way for us, and for our little ones, and for all our substance.

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.'

²²For I was ashamed to require of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way; for we had spoken to the king saying, The hand of our God is upon all them for good that seek him; but his power and his anger is against all them that forsake him.

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

²³And we fasted, and besought our God for this; and he was entreated of us.

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

²⁴And I separated twelve of the chiefs of the priests, Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brethren with them,

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.

²⁵and I weighed to them the silver and the gold and the vessels, the heave-offering for the house of our God, which the king and his counsellors and his princes, and all Israel present, had offered.

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

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

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

²⁷and twenty basons of gold, of a thousand darics; and two vessels of shining copper, precious as gold.

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

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

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

²⁹Watch and keep [them] until ye weigh them before the chiefs of the priests and the Levites, and the chiefs of the fathers of Israel, at Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of Jehovah.

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

³⁰And the priests and the Levites received by weight the silver and the gold and the vessels, to bring them to Jerusalem unto the house of our God.

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.

³¹And we departed from the river Ahava on the twelfth of the first month, to go to Jerusalem; and the hand of our God was upon us, and he delivered us from the hand of the enemy, and of such as lay in wait by the way.

³²Ja me tulime Jeruusalemma ning viibisime seal kolm päeva.

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

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.

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 Urijah the priest; and with him was Eleazar the son of Phinehas; and with them were Jozabad the son of Jeshua, and Noadiah the son of Binnui, Levites:

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

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

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.

³⁵The children of those that had been carried away, who had come out of the captivity, presented burnt-offerings to the God of Israel, twelve bullocks for all Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, twelve he-goats for a sin-offering: all for a burnt-offering to Jehovah.

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

³⁶And they delivered the king's edicts to the king's satraps, and to the governors on this side the river. And they furthered the people and the house of God.
