نَحَمْيَا 12

١ 1 وَهَؤُلَاءِ هُمُ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ وَٱللَّاَوِيُّونَ ٱلَّذِينَ صَعِدُوا مَعَ زَرُبَّابِلَ بْنِ شَأَلْتِئِيلَ وَيَشُوعَ: سَرَايَا وَيِرْمِيَا وَعَزْرَا،

Now these are the priests and the Levites that went up with Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua: Seraiah, Jeremiah, Ezra,

٢ 2 وَأَمَرْيَا وَمَلُّوخُ وَحَطُّوشُ،

Amariah, Malluch, Hattush,

٣ 3 وَشَكَنْيَا وَرَحُومُ وَمَرِيمُوثُ،

Shechaniah, Rehum, Meremoth,

٤ 4 وَعِدُّو وَجِنْتُويُ وَأَبِيَّا،

Iddo, Ginnetho, Abijah,

٥ 5 وَمِيَّامِينُ وَمَعَدْيَا وَبَلْجَةُ،

Miamin, Maadiah, Bilgah,

٦ 6 وَشَمَعْيَا وَيُويَارِيبُ وَيَدَعْيَا،

Shemaiah, and Joiarib, Jedaiah,

٧ 7 وَسَلُّو وَعَامُوقُ وَحِلْقِيَّا وَيَدَعْيَا. هَؤُلَاءِ هُمْ رُؤُوسُ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَإِخْوَتُهُمْ فِي أَيَّامِ يَشُوعَ.

Sallu, Amok, Hilkiah, Jedaiah. These were the chief of the priests and of their brethren in the days of Jeshua.

٨ 8 وَٱللَّاَوِيُّونَ: يَشُوعُ وَبِنُّويُ وَقَدْمِيئِيلُ وَشَرَبْيَا وَيَهُوذَا وَمَتَّنْيَا ٱلَّذِي عَلَى ٱلتَّحْمِيدِ هُوَ وَإِخْوَتُهُ،

Moreover the Levites: Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, and Mattaniah, which was over the thanksgiving, he and his brethren.

٩ 9 وَبَقْبُقْيَا وَعُنِّي أَخَوَاهُمْ مُقَابِلَهُمْ فِي ٱلْحِرَاسَاتِ.

Also Bakbukiah and Unni, their brethren, were opposite to them in the watches.

١٠ 10 وَيَشُوعُ وَلَدَ يُويَاقِيمَ، وَيُويَاقِيمُ وَلَدَ أَلِيَاشِيبَ، وَأَلِيَاشِيبُ وَلَدَ يُويَادَاعَ،

And Jeshua brings forth Joiakim, Joiakim also brings forth Eliashib, and Eliashib brings forth Joiada,

١١ 11 وَيُويَادَاعُ وَلَدَ يُونَاثَانَ، وَيُونَاثَانُ وَلَدَ يَدُّوعَ.

And Joiada brings forth Jonathan, and Jonathan brings forth Jaddua.

١٢ 12 وَفِي أَيَّامِ يُويَاقِيمَ كَانَ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ رُؤُوسُ ٱلْآبَاءِ: لِسَرَايَا مَرَايَا، وَلِيرْمِيَا حَنَنْيَا،

And in the days of Joiakim were priests, the chief of the fathers: of Seraiah, Meraiah; of Jeremiah, Hananiah;

١٣ 13 وَلِعَزْرَا مَشُلَّامُ، وَلِأَمَرْيَا يَهُوحَانَانُ،

Of Ezra, Meshullam; of Amariah, Jehohanan;

١٤ 14 وَلِمَلِيكُو يُونَاثَانُ، وَلِشَبْنِيَا يُوسُفُ،

Of Melicu, Jonathan; of Shebaniah, Joseph;

١٥ 15 وَلِحَرِيمَ عَدْنَا، وَلِمَرَايُوثَ حَلْقَايُ،

Of Harim, Adna; of Meraioth, Helkai;

١٦ 16 وَلِعِدُّو زَكَرِيَّا وَلِجِنَّثُونَ مَشُلَّامُ،

Of Iddo, Zechariah; of Ginnethon, Meshullam;

١٧ 17 وَلِأَبِيَّا زِكْرِي، وَلِمِنْيَامِينَ لِمُوعَدْيَا، فِلْطَايُ،

Of Abijah, Zichri; of Miniamin, of Moadiah, Piltai:

١٨ 18 وَلِبِلْجَةَ شَمُّوعُ، وَلِشَمَعْيَا يَهُونَاثَانُ،

Of Bilgah, Shammua; of Shemaiah, Jehonathan;

١٩ 19 وَلِيُويَارِيبَ مَتْنَايُ، وَلِيَدَعْيَا عُزِّي،

And of Joiarib, Mattenai; of Jedaiah, Uzzi;

٢٠ 20 وَلِسَلَّايَ قَلَّايُ، وَلِعَامُوقَ عَابِرُ،

Of Sallai, Kallai; of Amok, Eber;

٢١ 21 وَلِحِلْقِيَّا حَشَبْيَا، وَلِيَدَعْيَا نَثَنْئِيلُ.

Of Hilkiah, Hashabiah; of Jedaiah, Nethaneel.

٢٢ 22 وَكَانَ ٱللَّاَوِيُّونَ فِي أَيَّامِ أَلِيَاشِيبَ وَيُويَادَاعَ وَيُوحَانَانَ وَيَدُّوعَ مَكْتُوبِينَ رُؤُوسَ آبَاءٍ، وَٱلْكَهَنَةُ أَيْضًا فِي مُلْكِ دَارِيُوسَ ٱلْفَارِسِيِّ.

The Levites in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, and Johanan, and Jaddua, were recorded chief of the fathers: also the priests, to the reign of Darius the Persian.

٢٣ 23 وَكَانَ بَنُو لَاوِي رُؤُوسُ ٱلْآبَاءِ مَكْتُوبِينَ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ إِلَى أَيَّامِ يُوحَانَانَ بْنِ أَلِيَاشِيبَ.

The sons of Levi, the chief of the fathers, were written in the book of the chronicles, even until the days of Johanan the son of Eliashib.

٢٤ 24 وَرُؤُوسُ ٱللَّاَوِيِّينَ: حَشَبْيَا وَشَرَبْيَا وَيَشُوعُ بْنُ قَدْمِيئِيلَ وَإِخْوَتُهُمْ مُقَابِلَهُمْ لِلتَّسْبِيحِ وَٱلتَّحْمِيدِ، حَسَبَ وَصِيَّةِ دَاوُدَ رَجُلِ ٱللهِ، نَوْبَةً مُقَابِلَ نَوْبَةٍ.

And the chief of the Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua the son of Kadmiel, with their brethren opposite to them, to praise and to give thanks, according to the commandment of David the man of God, ward opposite to ward.

٢٥ 25 وَكَانَ مَتَّنْيَا وَبَقْبُقْيَا وَعُوبَدْيَا وَمَشُلَّامُ وَطَلْمُونُ وَعَقُّوبُ بَوَّابِينَ حَارِسِينَ ٱلْحِرَاسَةَ عِنْدَ مَخَازِنِ ٱلْأَبْوَابِ.

Mattaniah, and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub, were porters keeping the ward at the thresholds of the gates.

٢٦ 26 كَانَ هَؤُلَاءِ فِي أَيَّامِ يُويَاقِيمَ بْنِ يَشُوعَ بْنِ يُوصَادَاقَ، وَفِي أَيَّامِ نَحَمْيَا ٱلْوَالِي، وَعَزْرَا ٱلْكَاهِنِ ٱلْكَاتِبِ.

These were in the days of Joiakim the son of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor, and of Ezra the priest, the scribe.

٢٧ 27 وَعِنْدَ تَدْشِينِ سُورِ أُورُشَلِيمَ طَلَبُوا ٱللَّاَوِيِّينَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَمَاكِنِهِمْ لِيَأْتُوا بِهِمْ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، لِكَيْ يُدَشِّنُوا بِفَرَحٍ وَبِحَمْدٍ وَغِنَاءٍ بِٱلصُّنُوجِ وَٱلرَّبَابِ وَٱلْعِيدَانِ.

And at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought the Levites out of all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem, to keep the dedication with gladness, both with thanksgivings, and with singing, with cymbals, psalteries, and with harps.

٢٨ 28 فَٱجْتَمَعَ بَنُو ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ مِنَ ٱلدَّائِرَةِ حَوْلَ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَمِنْ ضِيَاعِ ٱلنَّطُوفَاتِيِّ،

And the sons of the singers gathered themselves together, both out of the plain country round about Jerusalem, and from the villages of Netophathi;

٢٩ 29 وَمِنْ بَيْتِ ٱلْجِلْجَالِ، وَمِنْ حُقُولِ جَبَعَ وَعَزْمُوتَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ بَنَوْا لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ ضِيَاعًا حَوْلَ أُورُشَلِيمَ.

Also from the house of Gilgal, and out of the fields of Geba and Azmaveth: for the singers had built them villages round about Jerusalem.

٣٠ 30 وَتَطَهَّرَ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ وَٱللَّاَوِيُّونَ، وَطَهَّرُوا ٱلشَّعْبَ وَٱلْأَبْوَابَ وَٱلسُّورَ.

And the priests and the Levites purified themselves, and purified the people, and the gates, and the wall.

٣١ 31 وَأَصْعَدْتُ رُؤَسَاءَ يَهُوذَا عَلَى ٱلسُّورِ. وَأَقَمْتُ فِرْقَتَيْنِ عَظِيمَتَيْنِ مِنَ ٱلْحَمَّادِينَ، وَوَكَبَتِ ٱلْوَاحِدَةُ يَمِينًا عَلَى ٱلسُّورِ نَحْوَ بَابِ ٱلدِّمْنِ.

Then I brought up the princes of Judah upon the wall, and appointed two great companies of them that gave thanks, whereof one went on the right hand upon the wall toward the dung gate:

٣٢ 32 وَسَارَ وَرَاءَهُمْ هُوشَعْيَا وَنِصْفُ رُؤَسَاءِ يَهُوذَا،

And after them went Hoshaiah, and half of the princes of Judah,

٣٣ 33 وَعَزَرْيَا وَعَزْرَا وَمَشُلَّامُ،

And Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam,

٣٤ 34 وَيَهُوذَا وَبَنْيَامِينُ وَشَمَعْيَا وَيِرْمِيَا،

Judah, and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah,

٣٥ 35 وَمِنْ بَنِي ٱلْكَهَنَةِ بِٱلْأَبْوَاقِ زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ يُونَاثَانَ بْنِ شَمَعْيَا بْنِ مَتَّنْيَا بْنِ مِيخَايَا بْنِ زَكُّورَ بْنِ آسَافَ،

And certain of the priests' sons with trumpets; namely, Zechariah the son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Michaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph:

٣٦ 36 وَإِخْوَتُهُ شَمَعْيَا وَعَزَرْئِيلُ وَمِلَلَايُ وَجِلَلَايُ وَمَاعَايُ وَنَثَنْئِيلُ وَيَهُوذَا وَحَنَانِي بِآلَاتِ غِنَاءِ دَاوُدَ رَجُلِ ٱللهِ، وَعَزْرَا ٱلْكَاتِبُ أَمَامَهُمْ.

And his brethren, Shemaiah, and Azarael, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethaneel, and Judah, Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God, and Ezra the scribe before them.

٣٧ 37 وَعِنْدَ بَابِ ٱلْعَيْنِ ٱلَّذِي مُقَابِلَهُمْ صَعِدُوا عَلَى دَرَجِ مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ عِنْدَ مَصْعَدِ ٱلسُّورِ، فَوْقَ بَيْتِ دَاوُدَ، إِلَى بَابِ ٱلْمَاءِ شَرْقًا.

And at the fountain gate, which was opposite to them, they went up by the stairs of the city of David, at the going up of the wall, above the house of David, even unto the water gate eastward.

٣٨ 38 وَٱلْفِرْقَةُ ٱلثَّانِيَةُ مِنَ ٱلْحَمَّادِينَ وَكَبَتْ مُقَابِلَهُمْ، وَأَنَا وَرَاءَهَا، وَنِصْفُ ٱلشَّعْبِ عَلَى ٱلسُّورِ مِنْ عِنْدِ بُرْجِ ٱلتَّنَانِيرِ إِلَى ٱلسُّورِ ٱلْعَرِيضِ.

And the other company of them that gave thanks went opposite to them, and I after them, and the half of the people upon the wall, from beyond the tower of the furnaces even unto the broad wall;

٣٩ 39 وَمِنْ فَوْقِ بَابِ أَفْرَايِمَ وَفَوْقَ ٱلْبَابِ ٱلْعَتِيقِ وَفَوْقَ بَابِ ٱلسَّمَكِ وَبُرْجِ حَنَنْئِيلَ وَبُرْجِ ٱلْمِئَةِ إِلَى بَابِ ٱلضَّأْنِ، وَوَقَفُوا فِي بَابِ ٱلسِّجْنِ.

And from above the gate of Ephraim, and above the old gate, and above the fish gate, and the tower of Hananeel, and the tower of Meah, even unto the sheep gate: and they stood still in the prison gate.

٤٠ 40 فَوَقَفَتْ ٱلْفِرْقَتَانِ مِنَ ٱلْحَمَّادِينَ فِي بَيْتِ ٱللهِ، وَأَنَا وَنِصْفُ ٱلْوُلَاةِ مَعِي،

So stood the two companies of them that gave thanks in the house of God, and I, and the half of the rulers with me:

٤١ 41 وَٱلْكَهَنَةُ: أَلْيَاقِيمُ وَمَعْسِيَا وَمِنْيَامِينُ وَمِيخَايَا وَأَلْيُوعِينَايُ وَزَكَرِيَّا وَحَنَنْيَا بِٱلْأَبْوَاقِ،

And the priests; Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Michaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with trumpets;

٤٢ 42 وَمَعْسِيَا وَشَمَعْيَا وَأَلْعَازَارُ وَعُزِّي وَيَهُوحَانَانُ وَمَلْكِيَّا وَعِيلَامُ وعَازَرُ، وَغَنَّى ٱلْمُغَنُّونَ وَيِزْرَحْيَا ٱلْوَكِيلُ.

And Maaseiah, and Shemaiah, and Eleazar, and Uzzi, and Jehohanan, and Malchijah, and Elam, and Ezer. And the singers sang loud, with Jezrahiah their overseer.

٤٣ 43 وَذَبَحُوا فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ ذَبَائِحَ عَظِيمَةً وَفَرِحُوا، لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ أَفْرَحَهُمْ فَرَحًا عَظِيمًا. وَفَرِحَ ٱلْأَوْلَادُ وَٱلنِّسَاءُ أَيْضًا، وَسُمِعَ فَرَحُ أُورُشَلِيمَ عَنْ بُعْدٍ.

Also that day they offered great sacrifices, and rejoiced: for God had made them rejoice with great joy: the wives also and the children rejoiced: so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard even far off.

٤٤ 44 وَتَوَكَّلَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ أُنَاسٌ عَلَى ٱلْمَخَادِعِ لِلْخَزَائِنِ وَٱلرَّفَائِعِ وَٱلْأَوَائِلِ وَٱلْأَعْشَارِ، لِيَجْمَعُوا فِيهَا مِنْ حُقُولِ ٱلْمُدُنِ أَنْصِبَةَ ٱلشَّرِيعَةِ لِلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱللَّاَوِيِّينَ، لِأَنَّ يَهُوذَا فَرِحَ بِٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱللَّاَوِيِّينَ ٱلْوَاقِفِينَ

And at that time were some appointed over the chambers for the treasures, for the offerings, for the first-fruits, and for the tithes, to gather into them out of the fields of the cities the portions of the law for the priests and Levites: for Judah rejoiced for the priests and for the Levites that waited.

٤٥ 45 حَارِسِينَ حِرَاسَةَ إِلَهِهِمْ وَحِرَاسَةَ ٱلتَّطْهِيرِ. وَكَانَ ٱلْمُغَنُّونَ وَٱلْبَوَّابُونَ حَسَبَ وَصِيَّةِ دَاوُدَ وَسُلَيْمَانَ ٱبْنِهِ.

And both the singers and the porters kept the ward of their God, and the ward of the purification, according to the commandment of David, and of Solomon his son.

٤٦ 46 لِأَنَّهُ فِي أَيَّامِ دَاوُدَ وَآسَافَ مُنْذُ ٱلْقَدِيمِ كَانَ رُؤُوسُ مُغَنِّينَ وَغِنَاءُ تَسْبِيحٍ وَتَحْمِيدٍ لِلهِ.

For in the days of David and Asaph of old there were chief of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving unto God.

٤٧ 47 وَكَانَ كُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي أَيَّامِ زَرُبَّابِلَ وَأَيَّامِ نَحَمْيَا يُؤَدُّونَ أَنْصِبَةَ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ وَٱلْبَوَّابِينَ أَمْرَ كُلِّ يَوْمٍ فِي يَوْمِهِ، وَكَانُوا يُقَدِّسُونَ لِلَّاوِيِّينَ، وَكَانَ ٱللَّاوِيُّونَ يُقَدِّسُونَ لِبَنِي هَارُونَ.

And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah, gave the portions of the singers and the porters, every day his portion: and they sanctified holy things unto the Levites; and the Levites sanctified them unto the children of Aaron.
