Esdras 8
Louis Segond
8 Voici les chefs de familles et les généalogies de ceux qui montèrent avec moi de Babylone, sous le règne du roi Artaxerxès.
2 Des fils de Phinées, Guerschom; des fils d'Ithamar, Daniel; des fils de David, Hatthusch, des fils de Schecania;
3 des fils de Pareosch, Zacharie, et avec lui cent cinquante mâles enregistrés;
4 des fils de Pachat Moab, Eljoénaï, fils de Zerachja, et avec lui deux cents mâles;
5 des fils de Schecania, le fils de Jachaziel, et avec lui trois cents mâles;
6 des fils d'Adin, Ébed, fils de Jonathan, et avec lui cinquante mâles;
7 des fils d'Élam, Ésaïe, fils d'Athalia, et avec lui soixante-dix mâles;
8 des fils de Schephathia, Zebadia, fils de Micaël, et avec lui quatre-vingts mâles;
9 des fils de Joab, Abdias, fils de Jehiel, et avec lui deux cent dix-huit mâles;
10 des fils de Schelomith, le fils de Josiphia, et avec lui cent soixante mâles;
11 des fils de Bébaï, Zacharie, fils de Bébaï, et avec lui vingt-huit mâles;
12 des fils d'Azgad, Jochanan, fils d'Hakkathan, et avec lui cent dix mâles;
13 des fils d'Adonikam, les derniers, dont voici les noms: Éliphéleth, Jeïel et Schemaeja, et avec eux soixante mâles;
14 des fils de Bigvaï, Uthaï et Zabbud, et avec eux soixante-dix mâles.
15 Je les rassemblai près du fleuve qui coule vers Ahava, et nous campâmes là trois jours. Je dirigeai mon attention sur le peuple et sur les sacrificateurs, et je ne trouvai là aucun des fils de Lévi.
16 Alors je fis appeler les chefs Éliézer, Ariel, Schemaeja, Elnathan, Jarib, Elnathan, Nathan, Zacharie et Meschullam, et les docteurs Jojarib et Elnathan.
17 Je les envoyai vers le chef Iddo, demeurant à Casiphia, et je mis dans leur bouche ce qu'ils devaient dire à Iddo et à ses frères les Néthiniens qui étaient à Casiphia, afin qu'ils nous amenassent des serviteurs pour la maison de notre Dieu.
18 Et, comme la bonne main de notre Dieu était sur nous, ils nous amenèrent Schérébia, homme de sens, d'entre les fils de Machli, fils de Lévi, fils d'Israël, et avec lui ses fils et ses frères, au nombre de dix-huit;
19 Haschabia, et avec lui Ésaïe, d'entre les fils de Merari, ses frères et leurs fils, au nombre de vingt;
20 et d'entre les Néthiniens, que David et les chefs avaient mis au service des Lévites, deux cent vingt Néthiniens, tous désignés par leurs noms.
21 Là, près du fleuve d'Ahava, je publiai un jeûne d'humiliation devant notre Dieu, afin d'implorer de lui un heureux voyage pour nous, pour nos enfants, et pour tout ce qui nous appartenait.
22 J'aurais eu honte de demander au roi une escorte et des cavaliers pour nous protéger contre l'ennemi pendant la route, car nous avions dit au roi: La main de notre Dieu est pour leur bien sur tous ceux qui le cherchent, mais sa force et sa colère sont sur tous ceux qui l'abandonnent.
23 C'est à cause de cela que nous jeûnâmes et que nous invoquâmes notre Dieu. Et il nous exauça.
24 Je choisis douze chefs des sacrificateurs, Schérébia, Haschabia, et dix de leurs frères.
25 Je pesai devant eux l'argent, l'or, et les ustensiles, donnés en offrande pour la maison de notre Dieu par le roi, ses conseillers et ses chefs, et par tous ceux d'Israël qu'on avait trouvés.
26 Je remis entre leurs mains six cent cinquante talents d'argent, des ustensiles d'argent pour cent talents, cent talents d'or,
27 vingt coupes d'or valant mille dariques, et deux vases d'un bel airain poli, aussi précieux que l'or.
28 Puis je leur dis: Vous êtes consacrés à l'Éternel; ces ustensiles sont des choses saintes, et cet argent et cet or sont une offrande volontaire à l'Éternel, le Dieu de vos pères.
29 Soyez vigilants, et prenez cela sous votre garde, jusqu'à ce que vous le pesiez devant les chefs des sacrificateurs et les Lévites, et devant les chefs de familles d'Israël, à Jérusalem, dans les chambres de la maison de l'Éternel.
30 Et les sacrificateurs et les Lévites reçurent au poids l'argent, l'or et les ustensiles, pour les porter à Jérusalem, dans la maison de notre Dieu.
31 Nous partîmes du fleuve d'Ahava pour nous rendre à Jérusalem, le douzième jour du premier mois. La main de notre Dieu fut sur nous et nous préserva des attaques de l'ennemi et de toute embûche pendant la route.
32 Nous arrivâmes à Jérusalem, et nous nous y reposâmes trois jours.
33 Le quatrième jour, nous pesâmes dans la maison de notre Dieu l'argent, l'or, et les ustensiles, que nous remîmes à Merémoth, fils d'Urie, le sacrificateur; il y avait avec lui Éléazar, fils de Phinées, et avec eux les Lévites Jozabad, fils de Josué, et Noadia, fils de Binnuï.
34 Le tout ayant été vérifié, soit pour le nombre, soit pour le poids, on mit alors par écrit le poids du tout.
35 Les fils de la captivité revenus de l'exil offrirent en holocauste au Dieu d'Israël douze taureaux pour tout Israël, quatre-vingt-seize béliers, soixante-dix-sept agneaux, et douze boucs comme victimes expiatoires, le tout en holocauste à l'Éternel.
36 Ils transmirent les ordres du roi aux satrapes du roi et aux gouverneurs de ce côté du fleuve, lesquels honorèrent le peuple et la maison de Dieu.
Ezra 8
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Ang mga Bumalik Galing sa Pagkabihag Kasama ni Ezra

2 si Gershom, na galing sa pamilya ni Finehas;
si Daniel, na galing sa pamilya ni Itamar;
3 si Hatush na anak ni Shecania, na galing sa pamilya ni David;
si Zacarias at ang 150 lalaking kasama niya, na galing sa pamilya ni Paros (mayroong talaan ng mga ninuno nila);
4 si Eliehoenai na anak ni Zerahia at ang 200 lalaking kasama niya, na galing sa pamilya ni Pahat Moab;
5 si Shecania na anak ni Jahaziel at ang 300 lalaking kasama niya, na galing sa pamilya ni Zatu;
6 si Ebed na anak ni Jonatan at ang 50 lalaking kasama niya, na galing sa pamilya ni Adin;
7 si Jeshaya na anak ni Atalia at ang 70 lalaking kasama niya, na galing sa pamilya ni Elam;
8 si Zebadia na anak ni Micael at ang 80 lalaking kasama niya, na galing sa pamilya ni Shefatia;
9 si Obadias na anak ni Jehiel at ang 218 lalaking kasama niya, na galing sa pamilya ni Joab;
10 si Shelomit na anak ni Josifia at ang 160 lalaking kasama niya, na galing sa pamilya ni Bani;
11 si Zacarias na anak ni Bebai at ang 28 lalaking kasama niya, na galing sa pamilya ni Bebai;
12 si Johanan na anak ni Hakatan at ang 110 lalaking kasama niya, na galing sa pamilya ni Azgad;
13 si Elifelet, si Jeuel, at si Shemaya at ang 60 lalaking kasama nila, na galing sa pamilya ni Adonikam;
14 si Utai at si Zacur at ang 70 lalaking kasama niya, na galing sa pamilya ni Bigvai.”
Ang Pagbalik nina sa Ezra sa Jerusalem
15 Tinipon ko ang sasama sa akin sa Jerusalem doon sa ilog na dumadaloy papunta sa lugar ng Ahava. Nagkampo kami roon ng tatlong araw. Nang tingnan ko ang talaan ng mga tao na sasama sa akin, pati na ang mga pari, nalaman kong walang mga Levita roon. 16 Kaya ipinatawag ko ang mga pinuno ng grupo na sina Eliezer, Ariel, Shemaya, Elnatan, Jarib, Elnatan, Natan, Zacarias, at Meshulam, at ang dalawang matalinong tao na sina Joyarib at Elnatan. 17 Pinapunta ko sila kay Iddo na pinuno ng lugar ng Casifia para hilingin sa kanya at sa mga kamag-anak niyang utusan sa templo na magpadala sila ng mga tao na maglilingkod sa templo ng Dios. 18 Dahil tinulungan kami ng Dios, ipinadala nila sa amin si Sherebia, kasama ang kanyang mga anak at mga kapatid niyang lalaki, na ang kabuuang bilang ay 18. Si Sherebia ay maabilidad na tao at mula siya sa pamilya ni Mahli na lahi ni Levi. Si Levi ay anak ni Israel. 19 Ipinadala rin nila si Hashabia at ang mga kapatid at mga pamangkin nitong lalaki na 20 ang bilang, kasama si Jeshaya na galing sa pamilya ni Merari. 20 Ipinadala pa nila ang 220 utusan sa templo. Ang mga utusan sa templo ay pinili noon ni Haring David at ng mga opisyal niya para tumulong sa mga Levita. Nakalista lahat ang mga pangalan nila.
Nag-ayuno at Nanalangin Sina Ezra
21 Doon sa tabi ng Ilog Ahava, sinabi ko sa grupo na mag-ayuno kami at magpakumbaba ng mga sarili namin sa presensya ng aming Dios para hilingin sa kanya na ingatan kami sa paglalakbay, pati ang aming mga anak at mga ari-arian. 22 Sapagkat nahihiya akong humingi sa hari ng mga sundalo at mangangabayo na magbabantay sa amin laban sa mga kalaban habang naglalakbay kami, dahil sinabi na namin sa hari na tinutulungan ng aming Dios ang lahat ng nagtitiwala sa kanya, pero galit na galit siya sa mga nagtatakwil sa kanya. 23 Kaya nag-ayuno at nanalangin kami sa aming Dios na ingatan niya kami, at tinugon niya ang dalangin namin.
Ang mga Handog para sa Templo
24 Pumili ako ng 12 tao mula sa mga namumunong pari, hindi kabilang sina[a] Sherebia, Hashabia, at ang sampu sa kamag-anak nila. 25 Pagkatapos, ipinagkatiwala ko sa kanila ng walang kulang[b] ang mga pilak, ginto, at mga kagamitang ibinigay ng hari, at ng mga tagapayo niya at mga opisyal, at ng maraming Israelita, bilang tulong sa templo ng aming Dios. 26-27 Ito ang aking ipinagkatiwala sa kanila:
22 toneladang pilak
3 toneladang kasangkapang pilak
3 toneladang ginto
20 gintong mangkok na mga waloʼt kalahating kilo,
2 tansong mangkok[c] na pinakintab na kasinghalaga ng mga mangkok na ginto.
28 Sinabi ko sa mga pari, “Kayo at ang mga kagamitang ito ay ibinukod para sa Panginoon. Ang mga pilak at ginto ay handog na kusang-loob para sa Panginoon, ang Dios ng inyong mga ninuno. 29 Ingatan nʼyo itong mabuti hanggang sa madala nʼyo ito sa mga bodega templo ng Panginoon sa Jerusalem na walang kulang,[d] sa harap ng mga namumunong pari, mga Levita, at ng mga pinuno ng mga pamilya ng mga Israelita.”
30 Kaya kinuha ng mga pari at ng mga Levita ang mga pilak, ginto, at ang mga kagamitan, na walang kulang, para dalhin sa templo ng aming Dios sa Jerusalem.
Ang Pagbalik sa Jerusalem
31 Umalis kami sa Ilog Ahava at naglakbay papuntang Jerusalem nang ika-12 araw ng unang buwan. Tinulungan kami ng aming Dios at iningatan kami sa mga kalaban at tulisan habang naglalakbay kami. 32 Pagdating namin sa Jerusalem, nagpahinga muna kami ng tatlong araw.
33 Nang ikaapat na araw, pumunta kami sa templo ng aming Dios at ipinagkatiwala namin ang mga pilak, ginto, at mga kagamitan ng walang kulang kay Meremot na pari na anak ni Uria. Kasama niya si Eleazar na anak ni Finehas at ang dalawang Levita na sina Jozabad na anak ni Jeshua at Noadia na anak ni Binui. 34 Binilang at tinimbang ito lahat, at inilista.
35 Pagkatapos, ang lahat ng bumalik galing sa pagkabihag ay nag-alay sa Dios ng Israel ng mga handog na sinusunog: 12 toro para sa buong Israel, 96 na lalaking tupa, at 77 batang lalaking tupa. Nag-alay din sila ng 12 lalaking kambing bilang handog sa paglilinis. Ang lahat ng ito ay ang mga handog na sinusunog para sa Panginoon. 36 Ibinigay din nila sa mga gobernador at mga opisyal ng lalawigan sa kanluran ng Eufrates ang dokumento kung saan nakasulat ang utos ng hari. At ang mga pinunong ito ay tumulong sa mga mamamayan ng Israel at sa templo ng Dios.
Ezra 8
King James Version
8 These are now the chief of their fathers, and this is the genealogy of them that went up with me from Babylon, in the reign of Artaxerxes the king.
2 Of the sons of Phinehas; Gershom: of the sons of Ithamar; Daniel: of the sons of David; Hattush.
3 Of the sons of Shechaniah, of the sons of Pharosh; Zechariah: and with him were reckoned by genealogy of the males an hundred and fifty.
4 Of the sons of Pahathmoab; Elihoenai the son of Zerahiah, and with him two hundred males.
5 Of the sons of Shechaniah; the son of Jahaziel, and with him three hundred males.
6 Of the sons also of Adin; Ebed the son of Jonathan, and with him fifty males.
7 And of the sons of Elam; Jeshaiah the son of Athaliah, and with him seventy males.
8 And of the sons of Shephatiah; Zebadiah the son of Michael, and with him fourscore males.
9 Of the sons of Joab; Obadiah the son of Jehiel, and with him two hundred and eighteen males.
10 And of the sons of Shelomith; the son of Josiphiah, and with him an hundred and threescore males.
11 And of the sons of Bebai; Zechariah the son of Bebai, and with him twenty and eight males.
12 And of the sons of Azgad; Johanan the son of Hakkatan, and with him an hundred and ten males.
13 And of the last sons of Adonikam, whose names are these, Eliphelet, Jeiel, and Shemaiah, and with them threescore males.
14 Of the sons also of Bigvai; Uthai, and Zabbud, and with them seventy males.
15 And I gathered them together to the river that runneth to Ahava; and there abode we in tents three days: and I viewed the people, and the priests, and found there none of the sons of Levi.
16 Then sent I for Eliezer, for Ariel, for Shemaiah, and for Elnathan, and for Jarib, and for Elnathan, and for Nathan, and for Zechariah, and for Meshullam, chief men; also for Joiarib, and for Elnathan, men of understanding.
17 And I sent them with commandment unto Iddo the chief at the place Casiphia, and I told them what they should say unto Iddo, and to his brethren the Nethinims, at the place Casiphia, that they should bring unto us ministers for the house of our God.
18 And by the good hand of our God upon us they brought us a man of understanding, of the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel; and Sherebiah, with his sons and his brethren, eighteen;
19 And Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah of the sons of Merari, his brethren and their sons, twenty;
20 Also of the Nethinims, whom David and the princes had appointed for the service of the Levites, two hundred and twenty Nethinims: all of them were expressed by name.
21 Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river of Ahava, that we might afflict ourselves before our God, to seek of him a right way for us, and for our little ones, and for all our substance.
22 For I was ashamed to require of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way: because we had spoken unto the king, saying, The hand of our God is upon all them for good that seek him; but his power and his wrath is against all them that forsake him.
23 So we fasted and besought our God for this: and he was intreated of us.
24 Then I separated twelve of the chief of the priests, Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brethren with them,
25 And weighed unto them the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, even the offering of the house of our God, which the king, and his counsellors, and his lords, and all Israel there present, had offered:
26 I even weighed unto their hand six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and silver vessels an hundred talents, and of gold an hundred talents;
27 Also twenty basons of gold, of a thousand drams; and two vessels of fine copper, precious as gold.
28 And I said unto them, Ye are holy unto the Lord; the vessels are holy also; and the silver and the gold are a freewill offering unto the Lord God of your fathers.
29 Watch ye, and keep them, until ye weigh them before the chief of the priests and the Levites, and chief of the fathers of Israel, at Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of the Lord.
30 So took the priests and the Levites the weight of the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, to bring them to Jerusalem unto the house of our God.
31 Then we departed from the river of Ahava on the twelfth day of the first month, to go unto Jerusalem: and the hand of our God was upon us, and he delivered us from the hand of the enemy, and of such as lay in wait by the way.
32 And we came to Jerusalem, and abode there three days.
33 Now on the fourth day was the silver and the gold and the vessels weighed 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 was Jozabad the son of Jeshua, and Noadiah the son of Binnui, Levites;
34 By number and by weight of every one: and all the weight was written at that time.
35 Also the children of those that had been carried away, which were come out of the captivity, offered burnt offerings unto the God of Israel, twelve bullocks for all Israel, ninety and six rams, seventy and seven lambs, twelve he goats for a sin offering: all this was a burnt offering unto the Lord.
36 And they delivered the king's commissions unto the king's lieutenants, and to the governors on this side the river: and they furthered the people, and the house of God.
