| 2 ܡܢ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܦܝܢܚܣ ܓܪܫܘܡ ܡܢ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܬܡܪ ܕܢܝܐܝܠ ܡܢ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܕܘܝܕ ܚܛܘܫ | 2 Of the sons of Phinehas, Gershom. Of the sons of Ithamar, Daniel. Of the sons of David, Hattush, |
| 3 ܡܢ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܫܟܢܝܐ ܘܡܢ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܦܪܥܫ ܙܟܪܝܐ ܘܥܡܗ ܐܫܬܪܒܘ ܕܟܪ̈ܐ ܡܐܐ ܘܚܡܫܝܢ | 3 of the sons of Shecaniah. Of the sons of Parosh, Zechariah, with whom were registered one hundred and fifty men. |

| 11 ܡܢ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܒܒܝ ܙܟܪܝܐ ܒܪ ܒܒܝ ܘܥܡܗ ܥܣܪܝܢ ܘܬܡܢܝܐ ܕܟܪ̈ܐ | 11 Of the sons of Bebai, Zechariah, the son of Bebai, and with him twenty-eight men. |
| 12 ܒܢ̈ܝ ܥܙܓܪ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܒܪ ܙܟܪܝܐ ܘܥܡܗ ܡܐܐ ܘܥܣܪܐ ܕܟܪ̈ܐ | 12 Of the sons of Azgad, Johanan the son of Hakkatan, and with him a hundred and ten men. |
| 13 ܡܢ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܐܪܢܩܘܡ ܐܚܕܝܐ ܘܗܠܝܢ ܫܡܗ̈ܝܗܘܢ ܐܠܝܦܠܛ ܢܥܐܝܠ ܫܡܥܝܐ ܘܥܡܗܘܢ ܫܬܝܢ ܕܟܪ̈ܐ | 13 Of the sons of Adonikam, those who came later, their names being Eliphelet, Jeuel, and Shemaiah, and with them sixty men. |
| 14 ܡܢ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܒܓܘܝ ܥܘܬܝ ܘܙܟܘܪ ܘܥܡܗܘܢ ܫܬܝܢ ܕܟܪ̈ܐ | 14 Of the sons of Bigvai, Uthai and Zaccur, and with them seventy men. |
| 15 ܘܟ̇ܢܫܬ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܢܗܪܐ ܕܐ̇ܬܐ ܠܗ̇ܘܐ ܘܫܪܝܢ ܬܡܢ ܝܘܡ̈ܬܐ ܬܠܬܐ ܘܐܣ̇ܬܟܠܬ ܒܥܡܐ ܘܒܟܘܡܪ̈ܐ ܡܢ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܠܘܝ ܘܠܐ ܐܫ̇ܟܚܬ ܬܡܢ | 15 I gathered them to the river that runs to Ahava, and there we encamped three days. As I reviewed the people and the priests, I found there none of the sons of Levi. |
| 16 ܘܫ̇ܠܚܬ ܠܠܥܙܪ ܘܠܐܪܢܝܐ ܘܠܫܡܥܝܐ ܘܠܐܢܬܢ ܘܠܝܪܒ ܘܠܐܠܝܬܢ ܘܠܢܬܢ ܘܠܙܟܪܝܐ ܘܠܡܫܠܘܡ ܪ̈ܫܐ ܘܠܝܘܢܕܒ ܘܠܐܠܝܬܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܟܘܠܗܘܢ ܪ̈ܫܐ | 16 Then I sent for Eliezer, Ari-el, Shemaiah, Elnathan, Jarib, Elnathan, Nathan, Zechariah, and Meshullam, leading men, and for Joiarib and Elnathan, who were men of insight, |
| 17 ܘܦ̇ܩܕܬ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܘܬ ܐ̇ܕܝ ܪܝܫܐ ܕܝܠܗܘܢ ܕܒܟܣܦܝܐ ܐܬܪܐ ܘܣ̇ܡܬ ܒܦܘܡܗܘܢ ܦܬܓܡ̈ܐ ܠܡܡܠܠܘ ܥܡ ܗܕܝ ܐܚܘܢ ܕܫ̣ܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܟܣܦܝܐ ܐܬܪܐ ܠܡܝܬܝܘ ܠܢ ܡܫܡ̈ܫܢܐ ܠܒܝܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܢ | 17 and sent them to Iddo, the leading man at the place Casiphia, telling them what to say to Iddo and his brethren the temple servants at the place Casiphia, namely, to send us ministers for the house of our God. |
| 18 ܘܐܝܬܝܘ ܠܢ ܐܝܟ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܐܛܐܒܬ ܥܠܝܢ ܠܓܒܪܐ ܚܕ ܚܟܝܡܐ ܡܢ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܡܚܠܝ ܒܪ ܠܘܝ ܒܪ ܐܝܣܪܐܝܠ ܘܫܪܝܐ ܘܐܚܘ̈ܗܝ ܘܒܢ̈ܘܗܝ ܬܪܥܣܪ | 18 And by the good hand of our God upon us, they brought us a man of discretion, of the sons of Mahli the son of Levi, son of Israel, namely Sherebiah with his sons and kinsmen, eighteen; |
| 19 ܘܚܫܒܝܐ ܘܥܡܗ ܐܫܥܝܐ ܡܢ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܡܪܪܝ ܘܐܚܘ̈ܗܝ ܘܒܢ̈ܘܗܝ ܥܣܪܝܢ | 19 also Hashabiah and with him Jeshaiah of the sons of Merari, with his kinsmen and their sons, twenty; |
| 20 ܡܢ ܓܒܪ̈ܐ ܕܝ̣ܗܒ ܕܘܝܕ ܠܦܘܠܚܢܐ ܕܠܘܝ̈ܐ ܕܝܗܝܒܝܢ ܡܐܬܝܢ ܘܥܣܪܝܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܬܩܪܝܘ ܒܫܡ̈ܗܝܗܘܢ | 20 besides two hundred and twenty of the temple servants, whom David and his officials had set apart to attend the Levites. These were all mentioned by name. |
| 21 ܘܩ̇ܪܝܬ ܘܦ̇ܩܕܬ ܐܢܘܢ ܥܠ ܢܗܪ ܗ̇ܘܐ ܠܡܬܥܢܝܘ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܢ ܘܠܡܒܥܐ ܡܢܗ ܐܘܪܚ ܬܪܝܨܐ ܠܢ ܘܠܛܦܠܢ ܘܠܟܠܗ ܩܢܝܢܢ | 21 Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God, to seek from him a straight way for ourselves, our children, and all our goods. |
| 22 ܡܛܠ ܕܒ̇ܗܬܬ ܕܐܫܐܠ ܡܢ ܡܠܟܐ ܚܝ̈ܠܐ ܘܦܪ̈ܫܐ ܕܢܥܕܪܘܢܢ ܡܢ ܒܥܠܕܒ̈ܒܝܢ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܡܪܢ ܗܘܝܢ ܠܡܠܟܐ ܕܐܝܕܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܗܘܝܐ ܥܡ ܟܠ ܕܒܥܝܢ ܠܗ ܠܛܒ ܘܥܘܫܢܗ ܘܚܡܬܗ ܥܠ ܟܠ ܡ̇ܢ ܕܫܒܩܝܢ ܠܗ | 22 For I was ashamed to ask the king for a band of soldiers and horsemen to protect us against the enemy on our way; since we had told the king, "The hand of our God is for good upon all that seek him, and the power of his wrath is against all that forsake him." |
| 23 ܘܢܨܘܡ ܘܢܒܥܐ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܢ ܥܠ ܗܕܐ ܘܡܫܬܡܥ ܠܢ | 23 So we fasted and besought our God for this, and he listened to our entreaty. |
| 24 ܘܓܒ̇ܝܬ ܡܢ ܩܫܝ̈ܫܝ ܟܘܡܪ̈ܐ ܬܪܥܣܪ ܠܫܪܒܝܐ ܘܠܚܫܒܝܐ ܘܥܡܗܘܢ ܡܢ ܐܚܝ̈ܗܘܢ ܥܣܪܐ | 24 Then I set apart twelve of the leading priests: Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their kinsmen with them. |
| 25 ܘܡ̇ܢܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܟܣܦܐ ܘܕܗܒܐ ܘܡܐ̈ܢܐ ܪܫܝܬܐ ܠܒܝܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܢ ܕܝ̣ܗܒ ܡܠܟܐ ܘܚܐܪ̈ܘܗܝ ܘܪ̈ܘܪܒܢܘܗܝ ܘܟܠܗ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܕܐܫܬܟܚܘ ܬܡܢ | 25 And I weighed out to them the silver and the gold and the vessels, the offering for the house of our God which the king and his counselors and his lords and all Israel there present had offered; |
| 26 ܘܡ̇ܢܝܬ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܟܣܦܐ ܟܟܪ̈ܐ ܡܐܐ ܘܚܡܫܝܢ ܘܡܐ̈ܢܝ ܟܣܦܐ ܡܐܐ ܘܕܗܒܐ ܡܐܐ ܟܟܪ̈ܝܢ | 26 I weighed out into their hand six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and silver vessels worth a hundred talents, and a hundred talents of gold, |
| 27 ܘܦ̈ܛܩܐ ܕܕܗܒܐ ܥܣܪ̈ܝܢ ܘܕܪ̈ܝܟܘܢܐ ܐܠܦ ܘܡܐ̈ܢܝ ܢܚܫܐ ܩܘܪܢܬܝܢܐ ܛܒܐ ܕܫܦܝܪܝܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܗܒܐ | 27 twenty bowls of gold worth a thousand darics, and two vessels of fine bright bronze as precious as gold. |
| 28 ܘܐ̇ܡܪܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܩܕܝܫܝܢ ܘܡܐ̈ܢܐ ܩܕܝܫܝܢ ܘܟܣܦܐ ܘܕܗܒܐ ܩܘܪܒܢܐ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܐܒܗ̈ܝܟܘܢ | 28 And I said to them, "You are holy to the LORD, and the vessels are holy; and the silver and the gold are a freewill offering to the LORD, the God of your fathers. |
| 29 ܐܙܕܗܪܘ ܘܛܪܘ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܬܫܠܡܘܢܗ ܩܕܡ ܪ̈ܒܝ ܟܘܡܪ̈ܐ ܘܠܘܝ̈ܐ ܘܪ̈ܝܫܝ ܐܒܗ̈ܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܒܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܒܗܝܟܠܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܡܪܝܐ | 29 Guard them and keep them until you weigh them before the chief priests and the Levites and the heads of fathers' houses in Israel at Jerusalem, within the chambers of the house of the LORD." |
| 30 ܘܩ̇ܒܠܘ ܟܘܡܪ̈ܐ ܘܠܘܝ̈ܐ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܕܢܫܠܡܘܢ ܒܡܬܩܠܐ ܟܣܦܐ ܘܕܗܒܐ ܘܡܐ̈ܢܐ ܠܡܥܠܘ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܠܒܝܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܢ | 30 So the priests and the Levites took over the weight of the silver and the gold and the vessels, to bring them to Jerusalem, to the house of our God. |
| 31 ܘܫܩܠܢ ܡܢ ܢܗܪ ܗܘܐ ܒܬܪܥܣܪܐ ܒܝܪܚܐ ܩܕܡܝܐ ܠܡܐܙܠ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܘܐܝܕܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܗܘܬ ܥܠܝܢ ܘܦܪܩܢ ܡܢ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܒ̈ܥܠܕܒܒܝܢ ܘܐܦ ܡܢ ܕܘܩ̈ܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ | 31 Then we departed from the river Ahava on the twelfth day of the first month, to go to Jerusalem; the hand of our God was upon us, and he delivered us from the hand of the enemy and from ambushes by the way. |
| 32 ܘܐܬܝܢ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܘܝܬܒܢ ܬܡܢ ܝܘܡ̈ܬܐ ܬܠܬܐ | 32 We came to Jerusalem, and there we remained three days. |
| 33 ܘܒܝܘܡܐ ܕܐܪܒܥܐ ܬܩܠܢ ܟܣܦܐ ܘܕܗܒܐ ܘܡܐ̈ܢܐ ܒܒܝܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܢ ܘܐܫܠܡܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܡܪܡܘܬ ܒܪ ܐܘܪܝܐ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܥܡܗ ܠܥܙܪ ܒܪ ܦܝܢܚܣ ܘܥܡܗܘܢ ܝܗܘܙܒܪ ܒܪ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܝܘܕܥܝܐ ܒܪ ܒܓܘܝ ܠܘ̈ܝܐ | 33 On the fourth day, within the house of our God, the silver and the gold and the vessels were weighed into the hands of Meremoth the priest, son of Uriah, and with him was Eleazar the son of Phinehas, and with them were the Levites, Jozabad the son of Jeshua and No-adiah the son of Binnui. |
| 34 ܒܡܢܝܢܐ ܒܡܬܩܠܐ ܠܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܘܐܬܟܬܒ ܟܠܗ ܡܬܩܠܐ ܒܙܒܢܐ ܗ̇ܘ | 34 The whole was counted and weighed, and the weight of everything was recorded. |
| 35 ܘܗܠܝܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܬܘ ܡܢ ܫܒܝܐ ܡܢ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܓܠܘܬܐ ܘܩ̇ܪܒܘ ܥܠܘ̈ܬܐ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܬܘܪ̈ܐ ܬܪܥܣܪ ܥܠ ܟܘܠܗ ܐܝܣܪܐܝܠ ܕܟܪ̈ܐ ܬܫܥܝܢ ܘܫܬܐ ܐܡܪ̈ܐ ܫܒܥܝܢ ܘܫܒܥܐ ܨܦܪ̈ܝܐ ܠܫܘܒܩܢ ܚܛܗ̈ܐ ܬܪܥܣܪ ܗܠܝܢ ܟܘܠܗܝܢ ܥܠܘ̈ܬܐ ܠܡܪܝܐ | 35 At that time those who had come from captivity, the returned exiles, offered burnt offerings to the God of Israel, twelve bulls for all Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, and as a sin offering twelve he-goats; all this was a burnt offering to the LORD. |
| 36 ܘܝ̣ܗܒ ܕܝܛܓܡܐ ܕܡܠܟܐ ܠܪ̈ܘܪܒܢܝ ܡܠܟܐ ܘܠܫ̈ܠܝܛܝ ܥܒܪܐ ܕܢܗܪܐ ܘܡܝܩܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܥܡܐ ܘܠܒܝܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ | 36 They also delivered the king's commissions to the king's satraps and to the governors of the province Beyond the River; and they aided the people and the house of God. |
