15 Reuni-os perto do riacho que corre para Aava e ali acampamos três dias. Tendo observado o povo e os sacerdotes não encontrei entre eles nenhum dos filhos de Levi.	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 Então mandei procurar os chefes Eliezer, Ariel, Semeías, Elnatã, Jarib, um outro Elnatã, Natã, Zacarias e Mosolão, bem como Joiarib e Elnata, doutores da lei.	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 Enviei-os ao chefe Eddo, que residia em Casfia. Ditei-lhes as palavras que deviam dizer a Eddo e a seus irmãos, os natineus, residentes em Casfia, a fim de que nos trouxessem ministros para a casa de nosso Deus.	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 como a mão benfazeja de nosso Deus estivesse conosco, trouxeram eles um homem inteligente dentre os filhos de Mooli, filho de Levi, filho de Israel, Sarabias, com seus filhos e irmãos em números de dezoito.	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 Hasabias, e com ele Isaías, dentre os filhos de Merari, seus irmãos e seus filhos em número de vinte;	19 and Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah, of the sons of Merari, and his brothers, and his sons, numbering twenty.
20 e dentre os natineus, que Davi e os chefes tinham entregue para o serviço dos levitas, duzentos e vinte natineus, todos designados por seu nome.	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 Ali, perto do riacho Aava, publiquei um jejum a fim de nos humilharmos diante de nosso Deus e implorar dele uma feliz viagem, para nós, nossos filhos, e para todos os nossos haveres.	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 Tive vergonha, com efeito, de pedir ao rei uma escolta e cavaleiros para nos proteger contra os inimigos durante o trajeto; porque havíamos dito ao rei: a mão de nosso Deus protege com sua bondade todos os que o procuram; mas sua força e sua cólera se fazem sentir em todos aqueles que o abandonam.	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 Por isso jejuamos e invocamos o nosso Deus, e ele nos ouviu.	23 And so we fasted and begged our God for this; and as a result, we prospered.
24 Escolhi doze chefes dos sacerdotes, Sarabias e Hasabias, e dez de seus irmãos.	24 And I separated twelve from among the leaders of the priests: Sherebiah, and Hashabiah, and with them ten of their brothers.
25 Diante deles pesei a prata, o ouro e os utensílios dados em oferenda para a casa de nosso Deus pelo rei, seus conselheiros e seus príncipes, bem como pelos israelitas que ali se encontravam.	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 Entreguei-lhes o peso de seiscentos e cinqüenta talentos de prata, utensílios de prata do peso de cem talentos, cem talentos de ouro,	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 vinte taças de ouro valendo mil dáricos, e dois vasos de um bronze muito claro e brilhante, tão belo como ouro.	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 disse-lhes: vós sois santos diante do Senhor; estes utensílios são consagrados; esta prata e este ouro são uma oferta espontânea feita ao Senhor, Deus de vossos pais.	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 Guardai-os com cuidado até o momento em que vós os pesareis diante dos chefes dos sacerdotes e dos levitas, e diante dos chefes da família de Israel, em Jerusalém, nas salas da casa do Senhor.	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 Os sacerdotes e levitas receberam, pois, o ouro, a prata e os utensílios assim pesados, para levá-los a Jerusalém, à casa de nosso Deus.	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 Partimos do riacho de Aava no duodécimo dia do primeiro mês a fim de irmos para Jerusalém. A mão de nosso Deus nos protegia e nos salvava das mãos dos inimigos e de suas emboscadas durante o trajeto.	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 Chegados a Jerusalém, repousamos durante três dias.	32 And we arrived at Jerusalem, and we stayed there for three days.
33 Ao quarto dia, a prata, o ouro e os utensílios foram pesados na casa de nosso Deus e entregues a Merimut, filho de Urias, o sacerdote. Ele tinha consigo Eleazar, filho de Finéias, e com eles os levitas Josabad, filho de Josué, e Noadias, filho de Benui.	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 Tudo foi contado e pesado. E ao mesmo tempo o peso total foi consignado por escrito.	34 This was done according to the number and weight of everything; and every weight was written down at that time.
35 Os que voltavam do exílio, homens nascidos no cativeiro, ofereceram em holocausto, ao Deus de Israel, doze touros por todo o Israel, noventa e seis carneiros, setenta e sete cordeiros e doze bodes pelos pecados, tudo em holocausto ao Senhor.	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 Entregaram o decreto do rei aos sátrapas do rei e aos governadores de além do rio. Estes deram seu apoio ao povo e à casa de Deus.	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.
