¹यी तिनीहरूका विस्थापित कुल वंशाका अगुवाहरू ती हुन् जो राजा आर्ट-जारसेज को शासनकालमा मसंग बाबेलदेखिमाथि गए।

¹And these are the chief fathers, and their genealogy, who went up with me from Babylon in the reign of Artaxerxes the king.

¹⁴बैग्बै कुलबाटः उत्तै अनि जब्बूद अनि तिनीहरू सित 70 मानिसहरू थिए।

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

¹⁵मैले तिनीहरूलाई नदीको छेउमा भेला गरें जो अहवातर्फ बग्छ, हामी त्यहाँ छाउनी लगएर तीन दिनसम्म बस्यौ। मैले ती मानिसहरू अनि पूजाहारीहरूलाई हेरे तर मैले त्यहाँ कुनै लेवीहरूलाई देखिन।

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.

¹⁶यसकारण मैले एलाजार, अरीएल, शमायाह, एल्नातान, यारीब, एल्नातान, नातान, जकर्याह र अश्शूलाम, जो अगुवाहरू अनि योयारीब र एल्नातानहरूलाई बोलाएँ तिनीहरू बुझकि मानिस थिए।

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.

¹⁷अनि मैले तिनीहरूलाई कासिपियाह नामक स्थानमा अगुवा इद्दो कहाँ पठाएँ। इद्दो र तिनका दाज्यू-भाइहरू अनि कसिपियाह स्थानको मन्दिरका सेवकहरूलाई के भन्नु पर्ने सो भने जसद्वारा तिनीहरूले हामी कहाँ हाम्रा परमेश्वरको मन्दिरको निम्ति कर्मीहरू ल्याउन सकोस्।

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.

¹⁸किनभने हाम्रा परमेश्वरले हामीलाई सहयाता गर्नु भयो, तिनीहरूले हामीकहाँ एक वुद्धिमान मानिस, लेवीको छोरा महलीका कुलहरूका। इस्राएलका छोरा जस्तै शरेबियाह र तिनका छोराहरू भाइहरू एवं अन्य मानिसहरू।

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;

¹⁹अनि शरेबियाह तिनीसित मरारीका सन्तानहरूका यशैयार तिनका भाई र छोराहरू।

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

²⁰अनि मन्दिरका सेवकहरू जसलाई दाऊद अनि राजकुमारहरूले लेवीहरूलाई सहायता गर्न नियुक्त गरेका थिए। 220 जना मन्दिरमा सेवकहरू पठाए। ती सबै का नाउँ सूचीमा लेखिए।

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.

²¹त्यहाँ अहवा नदीको छेउमा, हामीहरू अनि हाम्रा केटा-केटीहरू र हाम्रा सबै सम्पत्तिहरूको निरापद यात्राको निम्ति उहाँसित विन्ती गर्नलाई हामी परमेश्वरको समक्ष स्वयंलाई विनम्र तुल्याउन सकौ भनी उपवासको घोषणा गर्यौं।

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.

²²किनभने यात्रामा हामीलाई शत्रुहरूबाट सुरक्षित राख्नको निम्ति राजासंग सैनिक अनि घोडसवारहरूको माग गर्नमा लज्जित थियौं। किनभने हामीले राजालाई भनेको थियौ, “हाम्रा परमेश्वरले ती सबैलाई सहायता गर्नु हुन्छ, जो उहाँ प्रति विश्वास गर्छन् तर उहाँ तिनीहरू प्रति अति क्रोधित हुनुहुन्छ, जो उहाँदेखि टाढा हुन्छन्।”

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.

²³यसर्थ हामीले यसका निम्ति उपवास बस्यौं र हाम्रा परमेश्वर प्रति प्रार्थना गर्यौ अनि उहाँले हाम्रो प्रर्थनाको उत्तर दिनु भयो।

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

²⁴त्यसपछि मैले शेरेब्याह र हबिशयाह अनि तिनीहरूका भाईहरू मध्ये दशजना पूजाहारीहरू सहित 12 जना अगुवाहरूलाई चुनें।

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

²⁵त्यसपछि राजा र तिनका सल्लाहकारहरू र अधिकारीहरू त्यहाँ उपस्थित भएका इस्राएलका सबै मानिसहरूले हाम्रा परमेश्वरको मन्दिरका निम्ति अर्पण गरेका सुन, चाँदी र भाँडा-वत्तर्नहरू तौलेर मैले तिनीहरूलाई दिए।

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.

²⁶मैले तौलिएर तिनीहरूलाई 22,100 किलो ग्राम चाँदी 100 चाँदीका भाडाहरू 3,400 किलो ग्राम ओजनको, 3,400 किलोग्राम सुन

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;

²⁷सुनका कचौराहरू 8 1/2 किलोग्राम ओजनको,

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

²⁸तब मैले ती बाह्र पूजाहारीहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरू अनि यी चीजहरू परमप्रभुको निम्ति पवित्र छौ। मानिहरूले तिमीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाका परमेश्वरलाई सुन र चाँदीहरू दिए।

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.

²⁹यिनीहरू को खूबै होशियारी सित रक्षा गर। जब सम्म तिमीहरूले पूजाहारीहरू अनि लेवीहरूका अगुवाहरू अनि यरूशलेममा इस्राएल कुलका प्रमुखहरू समक्ष परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको कोठाहरू भित्र तौलँदैनौं।”

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.

³⁰यसर्थ पूजाहारीहरू र लेवीहरूले जोखिएका ती सुन-चाँदी र अरू मत्तोपुर्ण सामानहरू यरूशलेममा, हाम्रा परमेश्वरको मन्दिरमा ल्याउनका निम्ति प्राप्त गरे।

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.

³¹हामीले यरूशलेम जानका निम्ति पहिलो महिना को बाह्रौ दिनमा अहावा नदी छोडियौ। अनि हाम्रा परमेश्वर हामीसित हुनुहुन्थ्यो र उहाँले हामीलाई शत्रुहरूको शक्ति र चोरहरूबाट बाटोमा सुरक्षित गर्नुभयो।

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.

³²अनि हामी यरूशलेम आइपुग्यौ। त्यहाँ हामीले तीनदिन विश्राम गर्यौ।

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

³³चौथो दिनमा हामीले हाम्रा परमेश्वरको मन्दिरमा ती चाँदी अनि सुन अनि सामानहरू जोखियौ र ती पूजाहारी उरियाहका छोरा मरेमोत साथै पीनहासका छोरा एलाजार अनि तिनीहरूसित लेवीहरू, येशूअका छोरा योजाबाद अनि बिन्नुईका छोरा नोअदियाहलाई दियौ।

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:

³⁴हरेक वस्तुको संख्याद्वारा ओजन जाँच गरि अनि त्यस समयमा ठोस ओजन टिपियो।

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

³⁵तब कैदबाट फर्केर आउने यहूदीहरूले इस्राएलका परमेश्वरलाई समस्त इस्राएलका निम्ति होमबलि अर्पण गरे 12 वटा साँढे, 96 वटा भेडा, 77 वटा थुमा अनि पाप बलिका निम्ति 12 वटा बोकाहरू यी सबै परमप्रभुका निम्ति होमबलि थिए।

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.

³⁶तिनीहरूले राजाका आदेश पनि राज अधिकारीहरू अनि नदीपारीका प्रशासकहरूलाई दिए। तब तिनीहरूले यी अधिकारीहरूले प्रशासकहरू अनि इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले परमेश्वरको मन्दिरलाई सहयोग दिए।

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.
