And I assembled them at the river that flows into [the river] Ahava, and we camped there for three days. And I surveyed the people and the priests, but I found none of the sons of Levi there.

So I sent for Eli῾ezer, for Ari᾽el, for Shema῾ya, and for Elnatan, and for Yariv, and for Elnatan, and for Natan, and for Zekharya, and for Meshullam, chief men: and for Yoyariv, and for Elnatan, men of understanding.

And I sent Eliezer, Shemayah, Elnathan, Yariv, Elnathan, Nathan, Zecharyah, Meshulam, heads [i.e., eminent men], and Yoyariv and Elnathan, sage men,

And I sent them with commandment to ῾Iddo the chief at the place Kasifya, and I told them what they should say to ῾Iddo, and to his brother who were appointed at the place Kasifya that they should bring to us ministers for the house of God.

And I charged them unto Iddo, the head, in the place Kasifya, and I placed in their mouths words to speak to Iddo [and to] his brother, the Nethinim, in the place Kasifya, to bring us ministrants to [serve in] the house of our G-d.

And by the good hand of our God upon us they brought us a man of discretion, of the sons of Maĥli, the son of Levi, the son of Yisra᾽el; and Sherevya, with his sons and his brothers, eighteen;

And they brought us, according to the goodness of the hand of G-d upon us, a man of wisdom of the sons of Machli the son of Levi the son of Israel, and Sherevyah and his sons and his brothers, eighteen [(all Levites)].

and Ḥashavya, and with him Yesha῾ya of the sons of Merari, his brethren and their sons, twenty;

And Chashavyah and with him Yeshayah, of the sons of Merari, [and] twenty of his kinsmen and their sons.

And of the Nethinim assigned by David and the chiefs for the service of the Levites [(in the Temple)], two hundred and twenty Nethinim, all designated by name.

Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river of Ahava, that we might afflict ourselves before our God, to seek of him a safe journey for us, and for our little ones, and for all our substance.

And I called out there a fast on the river Ahava, to observe a fast before our G-d to ask of Him [that he lead us] on a straight path [(to peace)] for us, for our children, and for all that we possess.

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

For I was ashamed to request of the king [(an escort of)] troops and riders to help us against the foe on the way. For we had said to the king: The hand of our G-d is upon all those who seek Him, for good; and His might and wrath are against all those who forsake Him.

So we fasted and besought our God for this: and he listened to our entreaty.

And we fasted and entreated our G-d for this, and He was entreated of us [(and brought us to Jerusalem in peace)].

Then I separated twelve of the chief of the priests, Sherevya, Ḥashavya, and ten of their brethren with them,

And I had selected [(when I was there on the river Ahava)] twelve of the chiefs of the priests: Sherevyah, Chashavyah, and with them, ten of their brethren.

and weighed to them the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, the offering of the house of our God, which the king, and his counsellors, and his lords, and all Yisra᾽el there present, had offered:

And I weighed out to them the silver and the gold and the vessels, the contribution for the house of our G-d, donated by the king and his counselors and his chiefs and all of Israel who were found [in Bavel].

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

And I weighed out to them six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and one hundred silver vessels, each a talent, [and] one hundred talents of gold.

also twenty bowls of gold, of a thousand darics; and two vessels of fine copper, precious as gold.

And twenty golden basins of one thousand darkons, and two vessels of fine glowing copper, precious as gold.

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

And I said to them [(to those priests)]: You are holy to the L-rd, and the vessels are holy, and the silver and the gold are a gift to the L-rd, the G-d of your fathers.

Watch, and keep them, until you weigh them before the chief of the priests and the Levites, and chief of the fathers of Yisra᾽el, at Yerushalayim, in the chambers of the house of the Lord.

Take care in guarding (them) until you reposit them with the chiefs of the priests and the Levites and the chiefs of the fathers' [houses] of Israel in Jerusalem (in) the treasuries of the house of the L-rd.

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

And the priests and the Levites received the count of the silver and the gold and the vessels to bring to Jerusalem to the house of our G-d.

Then we departed from the river of Ahava on the twelfth day of the first month, to go to Yerushalayim: and the hand of our God was upon us, and he delivered us from the hand of the enemy, and of such as lie in wait by the way.

And we traveled from the river Ahava on the twelfth day of the first month [(Nissan)] to go to Jerusalem. And the hand of our G-d was upon us, and He rescued us from the hand of foe and brigand on the way.

And we came to Yerushalayim, and abode there three days.

And we came to Jerusalem and we stayed there for three days.

Now on the fourth day the silver and the gold and the vessels were weighed in the house of our God by the hand of Meremot the son of Uriyya the priest; and with him was El῾azar the son of Pineĥas; and with them was Yozavad the son of Yeshua, and No῾adya the son of Binnuy, Levites;

And on the fourth day the silver and the gold and the vessels were reposited in the house of our G-d with Meremoth the son of Uriah the priest, and with him, Elazar the son of Pinchas, and with them, Yozavad the son of Yeshua and Noadyah the son of Binui, the Levites.

the whole was counted and weighed: and the weight of everything was recorded at that time.

All [was reposited] in number and weight [(as it had been received)], and the entire count was recorded at that time.

Also the children of those who had been carried away, who were come out of the exile, offered burnt offerings to the God of Yisra᾽el, twelve bullocks for all Yisra᾽el, ninety six rams, seventy seven lambs, twelve he goats for a sin offering: all this was a burnt offering to the Lord.

The sons of the exile who came from captivity [with Ezra] sacrificed burnt-offerings to the G-d of Israel: bulls, twelve, for all [the tribes of] Israel; rams, ninety-six; sheep, seventy-seven; goats [sacrificed as] sin-offerings, twelve — all sacrificed [in their entirety] to the L-rd.

And they delivered the king’s commissions to the king’s satraps, and to the governors on this side of the river: and they furthered the people, and the house of God.

And they imparted the edicts of the king [viz. chapter 7] to the king's satraps and to the governors of this side of the river, and they [(the latter)] exalted the people and the house of G-d.
