15 Orioli radunai presso al fiume, che sbocca nell'Ahava, e ivi ci fermammo tre giorni: e avendo cercato tral popolo, e tra i sacerdoti qualche Levita, non vel trovai.	15 Now I gathered them together at the river that runs down to Ahava, and we stayed there for three days. And I sought among the people and among the priests for the sons of Levi, and I found none there.
16 Mandai adunque Eliezer, e Ariel, e Semeia, ed Elnathan, e Jarib, e un altro Elnathan, e Nathan, e Zacharia, e Mosollam dei principali, e Joiarib, ed Elnathan uomini sapienti.	16 And so I sent Eliezer, and Ariel, and Shemaiah, and Elnathan, and Jarib, and another Elnathan, and Nathan, and Zechariah, and Meshullam, who were leaders, and Joiarib and Elnathan, who were wise.
17 Li mandai a trovare Eddo, che è il più riputato del luogo di Casphia, e posi loro in bocca le parole, che dovean dire ad Eddo, e a' suoj fratelli Nathinei del luogo di Casphia, affinchè ci menasser dei ministri della casa del nostro Dio.	17 And I sent them to Iddo, who is first within the place of Casiphia. And I placed in their mouth the words that they should speak to Iddo and his brothers, the temple servants, in the place of Casiphia, so that they would lead to us ministers for the house of our God.
18 E per beneficenza del nostro Dio verso di noi ci menarono un uomo dottissimo de' figliuoli di Moholi, figliuolo di Levi, figliuolo d'Israele, Sarabia co' suoi figliuoli, e fratelli diciotto.	18 And because the good hand of our God was over us, they led to us a very learned man from the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel, with Sherebiah, and his sons, and his eighteen brothers,
19 E Hasabia, e con lui Isaia de' figliuoli di Merari co' suoi figliuoli, e fratelli venti:	19 and Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah, of the sons of Merari, and his brothers, and his sons, numbering twenty.
20 E de' Nathinei destinati da David, e dai principi al servizio dei Leviti, dugento venti Nathinei: tutti questi aveano un nome distinto.	20 And from the temple servants, whom David, and the leaders had provided for the ministry of the Levites, there were two hundred twenty temple servants. All these were called by their names.
21 E colà presso il fiume Ahava intimai un digiuno, affine di umiliarci dinanzi al Signore Dio nostro per chiedergli buon viaggio per noi, e pe' nostri figliuoli, e per le cose nostre.	21 And I proclaimed a fast in that place, beside the river Ahava, so that we might afflict ourselves in the sight of the Lord our God, and so that we might request of him the right way for us, and for our sons, and for all our substance.
22 Perocché io ebbi rossore di chiedere al re in aiuto de' soldati a cavallo, che ci difendessero per istrada dal nemico; perchè noi avevamo detto al re: La mano del nostro Dio assiste tutti quelli, che lo cercano con sincerità: e il suo impero, e la sua possanza, e il suo furore si fan sentire a tutti quelli, che lo abbandonano.	22 For I was ashamed to petition the king for assistance and for horsemen, who would defend us from the enemy along the way. For we had said to the king: “The hand of our God is over all those who seek him in goodness. And his authority, and his strength and fury, is over all those who forsake him.”
23 A questo fine digiunammo, e facemmo orazione al npstro Dio: e la cosa passò felicemente per noi.	23 And so we fasted and begged our God for this; and as a result, we prospered.
24 E de' principali sacerdoti ne separai dodici, Sarabia, e Hasabia, e altri dieci de' lor fratelli con essi:	24 And I separated twelve from among the leaders of the priests: Sherebiah, and Hashabiah, and with them ten of their brothers.
25 E consegnai loro l'argento, e l'oro a peso, e i vasi sagri della casa del nostro Dio offerti dal re, e da' suoi consiglieri, e da' suoi grandi, e da tutti gl'Israeliti, che si erano trovati (colà):	25 And I weighed out to them the silver and the gold, and the vessels consecrated to the house of our God, which had been offered by the king, and by his counselors and his leaders, and by all those of Israel who had been found.
26 E rimisi nelle loro mani il peso di secento cinquanta talenti d'argento, e cento vasi di argento, e cento talenti di oro:	26 And I weighed out to their hands six hundred fifty talents of silver, and one hundred vessels of silver, and one hundred talents of gold,
27 E venti ciotole di oro pesanti mille dramme, e due vasi di un bronzo lucente finissimo, belli, come quelli di oro.	27 and twenty gold bowls which had the weight of one thousand coins, and two vessels of the finest shining brass, as beautiful as gold.
28 E dissi loro: Voi i santi del Signore, e santi i vasi, e l'argento, e l'oro offerto spontaneamente al Signore Dio de' padri nostri,	28 And I said to them: “You are the holy ones of the Lord, and the vessels are holy, with the silver and the gold, which has been offered freely to the Lord, the God of our fathers.
29 Custoditeli con vigilanza, per sino a tanto che il tutto rimettiate a peso al tesoro della casa del Signore in presenza de' principi de' sacerdoti, e de' Leviti, e de' capi delle famiglie in Gerusalemme.	29 Watch and guard them, until you weigh them out before the leaders of the priests and the Levites, and the rulers of the families of Israel in Jerusalem, into the treasury of the house of the Lord.”
30 E i sacerdoti, e i Leviti ricevettero pesato l'oro, e l'argento, e i vasi per portargli a Gerusalemme alla casa del nostro Dio.	30 Then the priests and the Levites received the weight of the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, so that they might carry these to Jerusalem, into the house of our God.
31 Ci partimmo adunque dal fiume Ahava ai dodici del primo mese per incamminarci verso Gerusalemme: e la mano del nostro Dio fu sopra di noi e ci liberò dalla mano, e dall'insidie del nemico.	31 Therefore, we set out from the river Ahava, on the twelfth day of the first month, so that we might travel to Jerusalem. And the hand of our God was over us, and he freed us from the hand of the enemy and of those who lay in ambush along the way.
32 E arrivammo a Gerusalemme, e ivi ci riposammo tre giorni.	32 And we arrived at Jerusalem, and we stayed there for three days.
33 E il quarto giorno fu pesato l'argento, e l'oro, e i vasi nella casa del nostro Dio per mano di Meremoth figliuolo di Uria sacerdote, con cui era anche Eleazaro figliuolo di Phinees, e insieme con essi Jozabed figliuolo di Josuè, e Noadaia figliuolo di Bennoi, Leviti.	33 Then, on the fourth day, the silver and the gold and the vessels were weighed out in the house of our God, by the hand of Meremoth, the son of Uriah, the priest; and with him was Eleazar, the son of Phinehas, and with them were the Levites, Jozabad, the son of Jeshua, and Noadiah, the son of Binnui.
34 Tutto fu contato, e pesato: e di tutto fu fatto allora inventario.	34 This was done according to the number and weight of everything; and every weight was written down at that time.
35 E i figliuoli della trasmigrazione tornati dalla cattività offersero olocausti al Dio d'Israele, dodici vitelli per tutto il popolo d'Israele, novantasei arieti,settantasette agnelli, e dodici capri per lo peccato: tutto questo in olocausto al Signore.	35 Moreover, those who came from the captivity, the sons of the transmigration, offered holocausts to the God of Israel: twelve calves on behalf of all the people of Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, and twelve he-goats for sin. All these were a holocaust to the Lord.
36 E presentarono gli editti del re ai satrapi della sua corte, e a quelli, che governavano oltre al fiume, ed ei favoreggiarono il popolo, e la casa di Dio.	36 Then they gave the edicts of the king to the rulers who served in the sight of the king, and to the governors beyond the river, and they exalted the people and the house of God.
