归回之人
8 亚达薛西王年间，与我一起从巴比伦上到耶路撒冷之人的族长和家谱如下： 2 非尼哈的子孙有革顺；以他玛的子孙有但以理；大卫的子孙有哈突； 3 巴录的后裔、示迦尼的子孙有撒迦利亚及一百五十名同族谱的男子； 4 巴哈·摩押的子孙有西拉希雅的儿子以利约乃及二百名男子； 5 萨土[a]的子孙有雅哈悉的儿子示迦尼及三百名男子； 6 亚丁的子孙有约拿单的儿子以别及五十名男子； 7 以拦的子孙有亚他利雅的儿子耶筛亚及七十名男子； 8 示法提雅的子孙有米迦勒的儿子西巴第雅及八十名男子； 9 约押的子孙有耶歇的儿子俄巴底亚及二百一十八名男子； 10 巴尼[b]的后裔、约细斐的子孙有示罗密及一百六十名男子； 11 比拜的后裔有比拜的儿子撒迦利亚及二十八名男子； 12 押甲的后裔有哈加坦的儿子约哈难及一百一十名男子； 13 稍后归回的亚多尼干的子孙有以利法列、耶利、示玛雅及六十名男子； 14 比革瓦伊的子孙有乌太、撒布及七十名男子。
以斯拉为圣殿召集利未人
15 我把他们召集在流向亚哈瓦的河边，我们在那里扎营三天。我察看民众和祭司，发现他们当中没有利未人。 16 于是，我派人叫来首领以利以谢、亚列、示玛雅、以利拿单、雅立、以利拿单、拿单、撒迦利亚、米书兰及两位教师约雅立和以利拿单。 17 我派他们去见迦西斐雅的首领易多，请他们告诉易多及其做殿役的亲族带一些人来我们上帝的殿里事奉。 18 我们的上帝施恩帮助我们，他们给我们带来一位能干的人示利比及其弟兄和儿子共十八人。示利比是以色列的儿子利未的后裔抹利的子孙。 19 他们还带来哈沙比雅和米拉利的子孙耶筛亚，以及哈沙比雅的弟兄和儿子共二十人。 20 此外还有二百二十名殿役，他们都是被点名指派的。从前大卫和众官员曾指派殿役服侍利未人。
以斯拉带领百姓禁食
21 然后，我在亚哈瓦河边宣布禁食，为要在我们的上帝面前谦卑下来，祈求祂保护我们、我们的儿女及财物一路平安。 22 我羞于求王派步兵和骑兵沿途帮助我们御敌，因为我们曾经告诉王：“我们的上帝会施恩帮助寻求祂的人，但会向背弃祂的人发烈怒。” 23 因此，我们为这事禁食、寻求我们的上帝，祂应允了我们。
献给圣殿的礼物
24 我选出十二位祭司长：示利比、哈沙比雅和他们的十个弟兄。 25 王及其谋士和将领，以及所有在场的以色列人献给我们上帝殿的金银和器皿，我都秤了交给他们。 26 我交给他们的有二十二吨银子、三点四吨银器、三点四吨金子、 27 共重八公斤半的二十个金碗和两件贵重如金子的上等精铜器皿。 28 我对他们说：“你们和这些器皿是献给耶和华的，金银是自愿献给你们祖先的上帝耶和华的礼物。 29 你们要好好保管，护送到耶路撒冷耶和华殿的库房里，要在祭司长、利未人和以色列的各族长面前过秤。” 30 于是，祭司和利未人接过这些称过的金银和器皿，要带去耶路撒冷我们上帝的殿里。
返回耶路撒冷
31 一月十二日，我们从亚哈瓦河边出发上耶路撒冷。我们的上帝施恩帮助我们，救我们脱离仇敌和路上埋伏之人的攻击。 32 到耶路撒冷后，我们休息了三天。 33 第四天，我们在我们上帝的殿里把金银和器皿过秤，交给乌利亚的儿子米利末祭司。在场的还有非尼哈的儿子以利亚撒，利未人耶书亚的儿子约撒拔和宾内的儿子挪亚底。 34 每样东西都被数过、称过，其重量都被记录下来。
35 从流亡之地归回的人又献燔祭给以色列的上帝，为全体以色列人献上十二头公牛、九十六只公绵羊和七十七只绵羊羔，并献上十二只公山羊作赎罪祭。这些都是献给耶和华的燔祭。 36 他们将王的谕旨交给王的总督和幼发拉底河西的省长，众官员都为民众和上帝殿的工作提供帮助。

召集利未人與殿役
15 “我召集他們到那條流往亞哈瓦的河邊；我們在那裡安營住了三天。當我視察民眾和祭司的時候，發現沒有利未人在那裡。 16 於是我把首領以利以謝、亞列、示瑪雅、以利拿單、雅立、以利拿單、拿單、撒迦利亞和米書蘭召來，也把有學問的教師約雅立和以利拿單召來， 17 差派他們到迦西斐雅的地方那裡去見首領易多，又把他們在迦西斐雅的地方，對易多和他作殿役的親族所當說的話都告訴他們，請他們為我們 神的殿打發僕人到我們這裡來。 18 因為我們 神施恩的手幫助我們，他們就從以色列的曾孫、利未的孫子、抹利的子孫中帶一個敏悟的人到我們這裡來；還有示利比和他的兒子，以及他們的兄弟，共十八人。 19 又有哈沙比雅和與他在一起的米拉利的子孫耶篩亞，以及他的兄弟和他們的兒子共二十人。 20 還有從前大衛和眾領袖分派去服事利未人的殿役中，帶來了二百二十人，全都是按名呼召的。
準備回歸
21 “那時，我在亞哈瓦河邊那裡宣告禁食，為要在我們的 神面前謙卑下來，為自己和我們的孩子，以及我們所有的財物尋求 神指示一條暢通的道路。 22 我羞於請求王派遣步兵和馬兵幫助我們抵禦路上的仇敵，因為我們曾告訴王說：‘我們 神的手必幫助所有尋求他的人，賜福給他們，但他的能力和忿怒必攻擊所有離棄他的人。’ 23 所以我們禁食，尋求我們的 神，他就應允我們。
為聖殿而獻的禮物
24 “我從祭司首領中選派了十二人，以及示利比、哈沙比雅和與他們在一起的十位兄弟， 25 把金子、銀子和器皿，就是王和他的謀士、領袖，以及在那裡的以色列眾人獻給我們神殿的禮物，都稱了交給他們。 26 我稱了交在他們手中的銀子，有二十二公噸，銀器重三千四百公斤、金子三千四百公斤。 27 金碗二十個，價值八公斤半；上好而發亮的銅器兩個，像黃金那樣寶貴。
28 “我對他們說：‘你們是歸耶和華為聖的，器皿也是神聖的，金銀是甘心獻給耶和華你們列祖的 神的禮物。 29 你們要謹慎看守，直到你們在耶路撒冷耶和華殿的庫房裡，在祭司長和利未人的領袖，以及以色列人的族長面前，過了秤。’ 30 於是祭司和利未人把稱過了的金銀和器皿收下，帶到耶路撒冷我們 神的殿裡。
返抵耶路撒冷
31 “正月十二日，我們從亞哈瓦河啟程，往耶路撒冷去。我們的 神的手保佑我們，拯救我們脫離仇敵和在路上埋伏的人的手。 32 我們到了耶路撒冷，在那裡住了三天； 33 第四天，在我們 神的殿裡，金銀和器皿都過了秤，交在烏利亞祭司的兒子米利末的手中；與他在一起的有非尼哈的兒子以利亞撒；與他們在一起的還有利未人耶書亞的兒子約撒拔和賓內的兒子挪亞底。 34 一切物品按著數目稱過；同時每件的重量都記錄下來。
35 “那時，從被擄歸回的人都向以色列的 神獻燔祭，就是為全以色列獻公牛十二頭、公綿羊九十六隻、綿羊羔七十七隻；又獻公山羊十二隻作贖罪祭；這一切都是獻給耶和華的燔祭。 36 他們把王的命令交給王的總督和河西那邊的省長，他們就幫助民眾和神殿的需要。”

The Return to Jerusalem
15 I called all those people together at the canal that flows toward Ahava, where we camped for three days. I checked all the people and the priests, but I did not find any Levites. 16 So I called these leaders: Eliezer, Ariel, Shemaiah, Elnathan, Jarib, Elnathan, Nathan, Zechariah, and Meshullam. And I called Joiarib and Elnathan, who were teachers. 17 I sent these men to Iddo, the leader at Casiphia, and told them what to say to Iddo and his relatives, who are the Temple servants in Casiphia. I sent them to bring servants to us for the Temple of our God. 18 Our God was helping us, so Iddo’s relatives gave us Sherebiah, a wise man from the descendants of Mahli son of Levi, who was the son of Israel. And they brought Sherebiah’s sons and brothers, for a total of eighteen men. 19 And they brought to us Hashabiah and Jeshaiah from the descendants of Merari, and his brothers and nephews. In all there were twenty men. 20 They also brought two hundred twenty of the Temple servants, a group David and the officers had set up to help the Levites. All of those men were listed by name.
21 There by the Ahava Canal, I announced we would all fast and deny ourselves before our God. We would ask God for a safe trip for ourselves, our children, and all our possessions. 22 I was ashamed to ask the king for soldiers and horsemen to protect us from enemies on the road. We had said to the king, “Our God helps everyone who obeys him, but he is very angry with all who reject him.” 23 So we fasted and prayed to our God about our trip, and he answered our prayers.
24 Then I chose twelve of the priests who were leaders, Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their relatives. 25 I weighed the offering of silver and gold and the utensils given for the Temple of our God, and I gave them to the twelve priests I had chosen. The king, the people who advised him, his officers, and all the Israelites there with us had given these things for the Temple. 26 I weighed out and gave them about fifty thousand pounds of silver, about seventy-five hundred pounds of silver objects, and about seventy-five hundred pounds of gold. 27 I gave them twenty gold bowls that weighed about nineteen pounds and two fine pieces of polished bronze that were as valuable as gold.
28 Then I said to the priests, “You and these utensils belong to the Lord for his service. The silver and gold are gifts to the Lord, the God of your ancestors. 29 Guard these things carefully. In Jerusalem, weigh them in front of the leading priests, Levites, and the leaders of the family groups of Israel in the rooms of the Temple of the Lord.” 30 So the priests and Levites accepted the silver, the gold, and the utensils that had been weighed to take them to the Temple of our God in Jerusalem.
31 On the twelfth day of the first month we left the Ahava Canal and started toward Jerusalem. Our God helped us and protected us from enemies and robbers along the way. 32 Finally we arrived in Jerusalem where we rested three days.
33 On the fourth day we weighed out the silver, the gold, and the utensils in the Temple of our God. We handed them to the priest Meremoth son of Uriah. Eleazar son of Phinehas was with him, as were the Levites Jozabad son of Jeshua and Noadiah son of Binnui. 34 We checked everything by number and by weight, and the total weight was written down.
35 Then the captives who returned made burnt offerings to the God of Israel. They sacrificed twelve bulls for all Israel, ninety-six male sheep, and seventy-seven lambs. For a sin offering there were twelve male goats. All this was a burnt offering to the Lord. 36 They took King Artaxerxes’ orders to the royal officers and to the governors of Trans-Euphrates. Then these men gave help to the people and the Temple of God.
