A viagem de Esdras a Jerusalém
15 Reuni os exilados perto do canal de Aava, e acampamos ali por três dias enquanto eu revisava as listas do povo e dos sacerdotes que haviam chegado. Descobri que nenhum levita se havia oferecido para nos acompanhar. 16 Por isso, mandei chamar Eliézer, Ariel, Semaías, Elnatã, Jaribe, Elnatã, Natã, Zacarias e Mesulão, líderes do povo. Também mandei chamar Joiaribe e Elnatã, dois homens com discernimento. 17 Enviei-os a Ido, chefe dos levitas em Casifia, para que pedissem a ele, a seus parentes e aos servidores do templo que nos enviassem ministros para o templo de Deus, em Jerusalém.
18 Visto que a bondosa mão de nosso Deus estava sobre nós, eles nos enviaram Serebias, junto com 18 de seus filhos e parentes. Era um homem inteligente, descendente de Mali, descendente de Levi, filho de Israel.[e] 19 Também nos enviaram Hasabias, junto com Jesaías, dos descendentes de Merari, 20 de seus filhos e parentes, 20 e 220 servidores do templo. Os servidores do templo eram assistentes dos levitas, um grupo de trabalhadores do templo instituído pelo rei Davi e por seus oficiais. Todos estavam registrados por nome.
21 Ali, junto ao canal de Aava, ordenei que todos nós jejuássemos e nos humilhássemos diante de nosso Deus. Oramos para que ele nos proporcionasse uma viagem segura e nos protegesse, como também a nossos filhos e a nossos bens. 22 Pois tive vergonha de pedir ao rei soldados e cavaleiros para nos acompanhar e nos proteger de inimigos ao longo do caminho. Afinal, tínhamos dito ao rei: “A bondosa mão de nosso Deus está sobre todos que o adoram, mas seu poder e sua ira estão contra todos que o abandonam”. 23 Assim, jejuamos e pedimos com fervor que nosso Deus cuidasse de nós, e ele atendeu à nossa oração.
24 Nomeei doze chefes dos sacerdotes — Serebias, Hasabias e outros dez sacerdotes — 25 para ficarem encarregados do transporte da prata, do ouro e dos outros objetos que o rei, seu conselho, seus oficiais e todo o povo de Israel haviam doado para o templo de Deus. 26 Pesei o tesouro ao entregá-lo, e seu total era:
22.750 quilos[f] de prata,
3.500 quilos[g] de utensílios de prata,
3.500 quilos de ouro,
27 20 tigelas de ouro, cada uma pesando 8,6 quilos;[h]
2 utensílios finos de bronze polido, tão valiosos como ouro.
28 Eu disse aos sacerdotes: “Vocês e esses tesouros foram consagrados ao Senhor. A prata e o ouro são ofertas voluntárias ao Senhor, o Deus de nossos antepassados. 29 Guardem bem esses tesouros até que os apresentem aos líderes dos sacerdotes, aos levitas e aos chefes de família de Israel, que os pesarão nos depósitos do templo do Senhor, em Jerusalém”. 30 Os sacerdotes e os levitas aceitaram a responsabilidade de transportar esses tesouros de prata e de ouro até o templo de nosso Deus, em Jerusalém.
31 Levantamos acampamento junto ao canal de Aava, no dia 19 de abril,[i] e partimos para Jerusalém. E a mão de nosso Deus nos protegeu e nos guardou de inimigos e bandidos ao longo do caminho. 32 Assim, chegamos em segurança a Jerusalém, onde descansamos por três dias.
33 No quarto dia depois de nossa chegada, a prata, o ouro e os utensílios valiosos foram pesados no templo de nosso Deus e entregues a Meremote, filho do sacerdote Urias. Estavam com ele Eleazar, filho de Fineias, e os levitas Jozabade, filho de Jesua, e Noadias, filho de Binui. 34 Pesaram e contaram tudo, e o peso total foi registrado oficialmente.
35 Os exilados que haviam regressado do cativeiro ofereceram holocaustos ao Deus de Israel. Apresentaram 12 touros por todo o povo de Israel, 96 carneiros e 77 cordeiros. Também apresentaram 12 bodes como oferta pelo pecado. Tudo isso foi oferecido como holocausto ao Senhor. 36 Os decretos do rei foram entregues aos oficiais que ocupavam os cargos mais elevados e aos governadores da província a oeste do rio Eufrates,[j] que passaram a apoiar o povo e o templo de Deus.

8 These were the heads of their families[a] and the register of those returnees from Babylonia who came up with me in the reign of King Artaxerxes: 2 From the descendants[b] of Phinehas: Gershom. From the descendants[c] of Ithamar: Daniel. From the descendants[d] of David: Hattush. 3 From the descendants[e] of Shecaniah, from the descendants[f] of Parosh: Zechariah and with him one hundred and fifty registered males. 4 From the descendants[g] of Pahath-Moab: Eliehoenai son of Zerahiah and with him two hundred males. 5 From the descendants[h] of Zattu:[i] Shecaniah son of Jahaziel, and with him three hundred males. 6 From the descendants[j] of Adin: Ebed son of Jehonathan, and with him fifty males. 7 From the descendants[k] of Elam: Jeshaiah son of Athaliah, and with him seventy males. 8 From the descendants[l] of Shephatiah: Zebadiah son of Michael, and with him eighty males. 9 From the descendants[m] of Joab: Obadiah son of Jehiel, and with him two hundred and eighteen males. 10 From the descendants[n] of Bani:[o] Shelomith son of Josiphiah, and with him one hundred and sixty males. 11 From the descendants[p] of Bebai: Zechariah son of Bebai, and with him twenty-eight males. 12 From the descendants[q] of Azgad: Jehohanan son of Haqqatan, and with him one hundred and ten males. 13 From the descendants[r] of Adonikam, those who came last, these were their names: Eliphelet, Jeiel, Shemaiah, and with them sixty males. 14 From the descendants[s] of Bigvai: Uthai son of Zabud,[t] and with him seventy males.
Servants for the Temple are Gathered
15 I gathered them by the river that goes to Ahava and we camped there for three days. And I looked at the people and the priests, I found no one there from the sons of Levi. 16 And I sent for Eliezer, Ariel, Shemaiah, Elnathan, Jarib, Elnathan, Nathan, Zechariah, and Meshullam, who were family heads, and for Jehoiarib and Elnathan who were wise. 17 I sent them to Iddo, the head of the place called Casiphia, and I placed in their mouths what words to say to Iddo and his brothers the temple servants in Casiphia, to send to us ministers for the house of our God. 18 With the good hand of our God before us, they brought us a man of understanding from the sons of Mahli, son of Levi, son of Israel—Sherebiah and his sons and brothers, eighteen in total. 19 Also Hashabiah and with him Jeshaiah, the sons of Merari, with his brothers and their sons, twenty in total. 20 And from the temple servants, whom David and his officials had set up to serve the Levites, two hundred and twenty in total. All of them were registered by name.
Ezra Proclaims a Fast
21 I proclaimed a fast there at the river Ahava to humble ourselves before our God in order to seek from him a safe journey for us, our children, and our possessions. 22 For I was ashamed to ask the king for troops and horses to protect us from enemies on the way because we said to the king, “the hand of our God is favorable to all who seek him, but his strength and anger are against all who forsake them.” 23 So we fasted and sought our God for this and he responded to our prayer.
The Priests’ Gift for the Temple
24 I set apart twelve of the official priests: Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brothers with them. 25 Then I weighed out to them silver and gold and the vessels, the offering of the house of our God that the king, his counselors, his commanders, and all of Israel who was present offered. 26 I weighed out into their hand six hundred and fifty talents of silver, one hundred vessels of silver, one hundred talents of gold, 27 twenty gold bowls worth one thousand darics, and two vessels of good polished bronze as precious as gold. 28 And I said to them, “You are holy to Yahweh and the vessels are holy. The silver and gold are a freewill offering to Yahweh, God of your ancestors.[u] 29 Guard and look after them until you weigh them before the chief priests, the Levites, and the heads of the families[v] of Israel in Jerusalem, in the chamber of the house of Yahweh.” 30 So the priests and Levites took over the weighed silver, gold, and the vessels to bring to Jerusalem for the house of our God.
Return to Jerusalem
31 On the twelfth day of the first month we set out from the river of Ahava to go to Jerusalem. The hand of our God was on us and he delivered us from the hand of the enemy and from ambushing on the way. 32 We came to Jerusalem and remained there three days. 33 On the fourth day, the silver, gold, and vessels were weighed in the house of our God into the hand of priest Meremoth, the son of Uriah, and with him Eleazar son of Phinehas. With them were the Levites, Jehozabad son of Jeshua and Noadiah son of Binnui. 34 The amount and weight of all the weighed items was recorded at that time.
35 The exiles that returned from captivity offered burnt offerings to the God of Israel; twelve bulls for all Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, and twelve goats as a sin offering. All was a burnt offering to Yahweh. 36 They delivered the customs of the king to the king’s satraps and to the governor of the province Beyond the River. And they supported the people of the house of God.

The Return to Jerusalem
15 I assembled them at the canal that flows toward Ahava,(G) and we camped there three days. When I checked among the people and the priests, I found no Levites(H) there. 16 So I summoned Eliezer, Ariel, Shemaiah, Elnathan, Jarib, Elnathan, Nathan, Zechariah and Meshullam, who were leaders, and Joiarib and Elnathan, who were men of learning, 17 and I ordered them to go to Iddo, the leader in Kasiphia. I told them what to say to Iddo and his fellow Levites, the temple servants(I) in Kasiphia, so that they might bring attendants to us for the house of our God. 18 Because the gracious hand of our God was on us,(J) they brought us Sherebiah,(K) a capable man, from the descendants of Mahli son of Levi, the son of Israel, and Sherebiah’s sons and brothers, 18 in all; 19 and Hashabiah, together with Jeshaiah from the descendants of Merari, and his brothers and nephews, 20 in all. 20 They also brought 220 of the temple servants(L)—a body that David and the officials had established to assist the Levites. All were registered by name.
21 There, by the Ahava Canal,(M) I proclaimed a fast, so that we might humble ourselves before our God and ask him for a safe journey(N) for us and our children, with all our possessions. 22 I was ashamed to ask the king for soldiers(O) and horsemen to protect us from enemies on the road, because we had told the king, “The gracious hand of our God is on everyone(P) who looks to him, but his great anger is against all who forsake him.(Q)” 23 So we fasted(R) and petitioned our God about this, and he answered our prayer.
24 Then I set apart twelve of the leading priests, namely, Sherebiah,(S) Hashabiah and ten of their brothers, 25 and I weighed out(T) to them the offering of silver and gold and the articles that the king, his advisers, his officials and all Israel present there had donated for the house of our God. 26 I weighed out to them 650 talents[c] of silver, silver articles weighing 100 talents,[d] 100 talents[e] of gold, 27 20 bowls of gold valued at 1,000 darics,[f] and two fine articles of polished bronze, as precious as gold.
28 I said to them, “You as well as these articles are consecrated to the Lord.(U) The silver and gold are a freewill offering to the Lord, the God of your ancestors. 29 Guard them carefully until you weigh them out in the chambers of the house of the Lord in Jerusalem before the leading priests and the Levites and the family heads of Israel.” 30 Then the priests and Levites received the silver and gold and sacred articles that had been weighed out to be taken to the house of our God in Jerusalem.
31 On the twelfth day of the first month we set out from the Ahava Canal(V) to go to Jerusalem. The hand of our God was on us,(W) and he protected us from enemies and bandits along the way. 32 So we arrived in Jerusalem, where we rested three days.(X)
33 On the fourth day, in the house of our God, we weighed out(Y) the silver and gold and the sacred articles into the hands of Meremoth(Z) son of Uriah, the priest. Eleazar son of Phinehas was with him, and so were the Levites Jozabad(AA) son of Jeshua and Noadiah son of Binnui.(AB) 34 Everything was accounted for by number and weight, and the entire weight was recorded at that time.
35 Then the exiles who had returned from captivity sacrificed burnt offerings to the God of Israel: twelve bulls(AC) for all Israel,(AD) ninety-six rams, seventy-seven male lambs and, as a sin offering,[g] twelve male goats.(AE) All this was a burnt offering to the Lord. 36 They also delivered the king’s orders(AF) to the royal satraps and to the governors of Trans-Euphrates,(AG) who then gave assistance to the people and to the house of God.(AH)
