Ezra 8

1Ito nga ang mga pangulo ng mga sangbahayan ng kanilang mga magulang, at ito ang talaan ng lahi nila na nagsiahong kasama ko mula sa Babilonia, sa paghahari ni Artajerjes na hari. 2Sa mga anak ni Phinees, si Gerson; sa mga anak ni Ithamar, si Daniel; sa mga anak ni David, si Hattus. 3Sa mga anak ni Sechanias: sa mga anak ni Pharos, si Zacarias; at kasama niya na nabilang ayon sa talaan ng lahi ang mga lalake na isang daan at limang pu. 4Sa mga anak ni Pahath-moab, si Eliehoenai na anak ni Zarahias, at kasama niya'y dalawang daang lalake. 5Sa mga anak ni Sechanias, ang anak ni Jahaziel; at kasama niya'y tatlong daang lalake. 6At sa mga anak ni Adin, si Ebed na anak ni Jonathan; at kasama niya ay limang pung lalake. 7At sa mga anak ni Elam, si Isaia na anak ni Athalias, at kasama niya'y pitong pung lalake. 8At sa mga anak ni Sephatias, si Zebadias na anak ni Michael; at kasama niya'y walong pung lalake. 9Sa mga anak ni Joab, si Obadias na anak ni Jehiel; at kasama niya'y dalawang daan at labing walong lalake. 10At sa mga anak ni Solomit, ang anak ni Josiphias; at kasama niya'y isang daan at anim na pung lalake. 11At sa mga anak ni Bebai, si Zacarias na anak ni Bebai; at kasama niya ay dalawang pu't walong lalake. 12At sa mga anak ni Azgad, si Johanan na anak ni Catan; at kasama niya ay isang daan at sangpung lalake. 13At sa mga anak ni Adonicam, na siyang mga huli: at ang mga ito ang kanilang mga pangalan: Eliphelet, Jeiel, at Semaias, at kasama nila ay anim na pung lalake. 14At sa mga anak ni Bigvai, si Utai at si Zabud: at kasama nila ay pitong pung lalake. 15At pinisan ko sila sa ilog na umaagos patungo sa Ahava; at doo'y nangagpahinga kaming tatlong araw; at aking minasdan ang bayan at ang mga saserdote, at walang nasumpungan doon sa mga anak ni Levi. 16Nang magkagayo'y ipinasundo ko si Eliezer, si Ariel, si Semaias, at si Elnathan, at si Jarib, at si Elnathan, at si Nathan, at si Zacarias, at si Mesullam, na mga pangulong lalake; gayon din si Joiarib, at si Elnathan, na mga tagapagturo. 17At aking sinugo sila kay Iddo na pangulo sa dako ng Casipia; at aking sinaysay sa kanila kung ano ang kanilang nararapat sabihin kay Iddo, at sa kaniyang mga kapatid na mga Nethineo, sa dako ng Casipia, upang sila'y mangagdala sa atin ng mga tagapangasiwa sa bahay ng ating Dios. 18At ayon sa mabuting kamay ng ating Dios na sumasa atin ay nagdala sila sa atin ng isang lalake na matalino, sa mga anak ni Mahali, na anak ni Levi, na anak ni Israel; at si Serebias, pati ng kaniyang mga anak na lalake at mga kapatid, labing walo: 19At si Hasabias, at kasama niya'y si Isaia sa mga anak ni Merari, ang kaniyang mga kapatid at kaniyang mga anak na lalake, dalawang pu; 20At sa mga Nethineo, na ibinigay ni David at ng mga pangulo sa paglilingkod sa mga Levita, dalawang daan at dalawang pung Nethineo; silang lahat ay nasasaysay ayon sa pangalan. 21Nang magkagayo'y nagtanyag ako ng ayuno doon, sa ilog ng Ahava, upang tayo'y magpakababa sa harap ng ating Dios, upang humanap sa kaniya ng matuwid na daan, sa ganang atin, at sa ating mga bata, at sa lahat ng ating pag-aari. 22Sapagka't ako'y nahiyang humingi sa hari ng pulutong ng mga sundalo, at ng mga mangangabayo upang tulungan tayo laban sa mga kaaway sa daan: sapagka't aming sinalita sa hari, na sinasabi, Ang kamay ng ating Dios ay sumasa kanilang lahat na humahanap sa kaniya, sa ikabubuti; nguni't ang kaniyang kapangyarihan at ang pagiinit ay laban sa kanilang lahat na nagpapabaya sa kaniya. 23Sa gayo'y nangagayuno tayo at nagsidalangin sa ating Dios dahil dito: at dininig niya tayo. 24Nang magkagayo'y inihiwalay ko ang labing dalawa sa mga puno ng mga saserdote, sa makatuwid baga'y si Serebias, si Hasabias, at sangpu sa kanilang mga kapatid na kasama nila. 25At tinimbang sa kanila ang pilak, at ang ginto, at ang mga sisidlan, sa makatuwid baga'y ang handog sa bahay ng ating Dios, na pinaghandugan ng hari, at ng kaniyang mga kasangguni, at ng kaniyang mga prinsipe, at ng buong Israel na nakaharap doon: 26Akin ngang tinimbang sa kanilang kamay ay anim na raan at limang pung talentong pilak, at mga pilak na sisidlan ay isang daang talento: sa ginto ay isang daang talento; 27At dalawang pung mangkok na ginto, na may isang libong dariko; at dalawang sisidlan na pinong makinang na tanso, na halagang gaya ng ginto. 28At sinabi ko sa kanila, Kayo'y banal sa Panginoon, at ang mga sisidlan ay natatalaga; at ang pilak at ang ginto ay kusang handog sa Panginoon, na Dios ng inyong mga magulang. 29Magsipagbantay kayo, at ingatan ninyo, hanggang sa inyong matimbang sa harap ng mga puno ng mga saserdote, at ng mga Levita, at ng mga prinsipe ng mga sangbahayan ng mga magulang ng Israel, sa Jerusalem, sa mga silid ng bahay ng Panginoon. 30Sa gayo'y tinanggap ng mga saserdote at ng mga Levita ang timbang ng pilak at ginto, at ng mga sisidlan, upang dalhin sa Jerusalem, sa bahay ng ating Dios. 31Nang magkagayo'y nagsiyaon tayo mula sa ilog ng Ahava, nang ikalabing dalawang araw ng unang buwan, upang pumaroon sa Jerusalem: at ang kamay ng ating Dios ay sumaatin, at iniligtas niya tayo sa kamay ng kaaway at sa bumabakay sa daan. 32At tayo ay nagsidating sa Jerusalem, at nagsitahan doon na tatlong araw. 33At nang ikaapat na araw, ang pilak at ang ginto at ang mga sisidlan ay natimbang sa bahay ng ating Dios sa kamay ni Meremoth na anak ni Urias na saserdote (at kasama niya si Eleazar na anak ni Phinees; at kasama nila si Jozabad na anak ni Jesua, at si Noadias na anak ni Binnui, na mga Levita) 34Ang kabuoan sa pamamagitan ng bilang, at ng timbang: at ang buong timbang ay nasulat nang panahong yaon. 35Ang mga anak sa pagkabihag, na nagsipanggaling sa pagkatapon, ay nangaghandog ng mga handog na susunugin sa Dios ng Israel, labing dalawang toro sa ganang buong Israel, siyam na pu't anim na lalaking tupa, pitong pu't pitong kordero, labing dalawang kambing na lalake na pinakahandog dahil sa kasalanan: lahat ng ito'y handog na susunugin sa Panginoon. 36At kanilang ibinigay ang mga bilin ng hari sa mga satrapa ng hari, at sa mga tagapamahala sa dako roon ng Ilog: at kanilang pinasulong ang bayan at ang bahay ng Dios.

1Now these are the heads of their fathers’ households, and this is the genealogy of those who went up with me from Babylon, in the reign of Artaxerxes the king: 2Of the sons of Phinehas, Gershom. Of the sons of Ithamar, Daniel. Of the sons of David, Hattush. 3Of the sons of Shecaniah, of the sons of Parosh, Zechariah; and with him were reckoned by genealogy of the males one hundred fifty. 4Of the sons of Pahathmoab, Eliehoenai the son of Zerahiah; and with him two hundred males. 5Of the sons of Shecaniah, the son of Jahaziel; and with him three hundred males. 6Of the sons of Adin, Ebed the son of Jonathan; and with him fifty males. 7Of the sons of Elam, Jeshaiah the son of Athaliah; and with him seventy males. 8Of the sons of Shephatiah, Zebadiah the son of Michael; and with him eighty males. 9Of the sons of Joab, Obadiah the son of Jehiel; and with him two hundred and eighteen males. 10Of the sons of Shelomith, the son of Josiphiah; and with him one hundred sixty males. 11Of the sons of Bebai, Zechariah the son of Bebai; and with him twenty-eight males. 12Of the sons of Azgad, Johanan the son of Hakkatan; and with him one hundred ten males. 13Of the sons of Adonikam, who were the last; and these are their names: Eliphelet, Jeuel, and Shemaiah; and with them sixty males. 14Of the sons of Bigvai, Uthai and Zabbud; and with them seventy males. 15I 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. 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. 17I 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. 18According 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; 19and Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah of the sons of Merari, his brothers and their sons, twenty; 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. 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. 22For 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.” 23So we fasted and begged our God for this: and he was entreated of us. 24Then I set apart twelve of the chiefs of the priests, even Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brothers with them, 25and 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: 26I weighed into their hand six hundred fifty talents of silver, and silver vessels one hundred talents; of gold one hundred talents; 27and twenty bowls of gold, of one thousand darics; and two vessels of fine bright brass, precious as gold. 28I 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. 29Watch, 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.” 30So 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. 31Then 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. 32We came to Jerusalem, and stayed there three days. 33On 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; 34the whole by number and by weight: and all the weight was written at that time. 35The 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. 36They 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.

1Dit nu zijn de hoofden hunner vaderen, met hun geslachtsrekening, die met mij uit Babel optogen, onder het koninkrijk van den koning Arthahsasta. 2Van de kinderen van Pinehas, Gersom; van de kinderen van Ithamar, Daniel; van de kinderen van David, Hattus. 3Van de kinderen van Sechanja, van de kinderen van Paros, Zacharja; en met hem werden bij geslachtsregisters gerekend, aan manspersonen, honderd en vijftig. 4Van de kinderen van Pahath-Moab, Eljehoenai, van de zoon van Zerahja; en met hem tweehonderd manspersonen. 5Van de kinderen van Sechanja, de zoon van Jahaziel; en met hem driehonderd manspersonen. 6En van de kinderen van Adin, Ebed, de zoon van Jonathan; en met hem vijftig manspersonen. 7En van de kinderen van Elam, Jesaja, de zoon van Athalja; en met hem zeventig manspersonen. 8En van de kinderen van Sefatja, Zebadja, de zoon van Michael; en met hem tachtig manspersonen. 9En van de kinderen van Joab, Obadja, de zoon van Jehiel; en met hem tweehonderd en achttien manspersonen. 10En van de kinderen van Selomith, de zoon van Josifja; en met hem honderd en zestig manspersonen. 11En van de kinderen van Babai, Zacharja, de zoon van Bebai; en met hem acht en twintig manspersonen. 12En van de kinderen van Azgad, Johanan, de zoon van Katan; en met hem honderd en tien manspersonen. 13En van de laatste kinderen van Adonikam, welker namen deze waren: Elifelet, Jehiel, en Semaja; en met hen zestig manspersonen. 14En van de kinderen van Bigvai, Uthai en Zabbud; en met hen zeventig manspersonen. 15En ik vergaderde hen aan de rivier, gaande naar Ahava, en wij legerden ons aldaar drie dagen; toen lette ik op het volk en de priesteren, en vond aldaar geen van de kinderen van Levi. 16Zo zond ik tot Eliezer, tot Ariel, tot Semaja, en tot Elnathan, en tot Jarib, en tot Elnathan, en tot Nathan, en tot Zacharja, en tot Mesullam, de hoofden; en tot Jojarib en tot Elnathan, de leraars; 17En ik gaf hun bevel aan Iddo, het hoofd in de plaats Chasifja; en ik legde de woorden in hun mond, om te zeggen tot Iddo, zijn broeder, en de Nethinim, in de plaats Chasifja, dat zij ons brachten dienaars voor het huis onzes Gods. 18En zij brachten ons, naar de goede hand onzes Gods over ons, een man van verstand, van de kinderen van Mahli, den zoon van Levi, den zoon van Israel; namelijk Serebja, met zijn zonen en broederen, achttien; 19En Hasabja, en met hem Jesaja, van de kinderen van Merari, met zijn broederen, en hun zonen, twintig; 20En van Nethinim, die David en de vorsten ten dienste der Levieten gegeven hadden, tweehonderd en twintig Nethinim, die allen bij namen genoemd werden. 21Toen riep ik aldaar een vasten uit aan de rivier Ahava, opdat wij ons verootmoedigden voor het aangezicht onzes Gods, om van Hem te verzoeken een rechten weg, voor ons, en voor onze kinderkens, en voor al onze have. 22Want ik schaamde mij van den koning een heir en ruiters te begeren, om ons te helpen van den vijand, op den weg; omdat wij tot den koning hadden gesproken, zeggende: De hand onzes Gods is ten goede over allen, die Hem zoeken, maar Zijn sterkte en Zijn toorn over allen, die Hem verlaten. 23Alzo vastten wij; en verzochten zulks van onzen God; en Hij liet zich van ons verbidden. 24Toen scheidde ik twaalf uit van de oversten der priesteren: Serebja Hasabja, en tien van hun broederen met hen. 25En ik woog hun toe het zilver, en het goud, en de vaten, zijnde de offering van het huis onzes Gods die de koning en zijn raadsheren, en zijn vorsten, en gans Israel, die er gevonden werden, geofferd hadden; 26Ik woog dan aan hun hand zeshonderd en vijftig talenten zilvers, en honderd zilveren vaten in talenten; aan goud, honderd talenten; 27En twintig gouden bekers, tot duizend drachmen; en twee vaten van blinkend goed koper, begeerlijk als goud. 28En ik zeide tot hen: Gij zijt heilig den HEERE, en deze vaten zijn heilig; ook dit zilver en dit goud, de vrijwillige gave, den HEERE, den God uwer vaderen. 29Waakt en bewaart het, totdat gij het opweegt, in tegenwoordigheid van de oversten der priesteren en Levieten, en der vorsten der vaderen van Israel, te Jeruzalem, in de kameren van des HEEREN huis. 30Toen ontvingen de priesters en de Levieten het gewicht des zilvers en des gouds, en der vaten, om te brengen te Jeruzalem, ten huize onzes Gods. 31Alzo verreisden wij van de rivier Ahava, op den twaalfden der eerste maand, om te gaan naar Jeruzalem; en de hand onzes Gods was over ons, en redde ons van de hand des vijands, en desgenen, die ons lagen legde op den weg. 32En wij kwamen te Jeruzalem; en wij bleven aldaar drie dagen. 33Op den vierden dag nu werd gewogen het zilver, en het goud, en de vaten, in het huis onzes Gods, aan de hand van Meremoth, den zoon van Uria, den priester, en met hem Eleazar, de zoon van Pinehas; en met hem Jozabad, de zoon van Jesua, en Noadja, de zoon van Binnui, de Levieten. 34Naar het getal en naar het gewicht van dat alles; en het ganse gewicht werd ter zelfder tijd opgeschreven. 35En de weggevoerden, die uit de gevangenis gekomen waren, offerden den God Israels brandofferen; twaalf varren voor gans Israel, zes en negentig rammen, zeven en zeventig lammeren, twaalf bokken ten zondoffer; alles ten brandoffer den HEERE. 36Daarna gaven zij de wetten des konings aan des konings stadhouders en landvoogden aan deze zijde der rivier; en zij bevorderden het volk en het huis Gods.
