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

And these [are] the priests and the Levites who came up with Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua: Seraiah, Jeremiah, Ezra,

Sallu, Amok, Hilkiah, Jedaiah; these [are] heads of the priests and of their brothers in the days of Jeshua.

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

And the Levites: Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, Mattaniah, he [is] over the thanksgiving, and his brothers,

٩ 9 وَبَقْبُقْيَا وَعُنِّي أَخَوَاهُمْ مُقَابِلَهُمْ فِي ٱلْحِرَاسَاتِ.

and Bakbukiah and Unni, their brothers, [are] opposite them in charges.

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

And Jeshua has begotten Joiakim, and Joiakim has begotten Eliashib, and Eliashib has begotten Joiada,

١١ 11 وَيُويَادَاعُ وَلَدَ يُونَاثَانَ، وَيُونَاثَانُ وَلَدَ يَدُّوعَ.

and Joiada has begotten Jonathan, and Jonathan has begotten Jaddua.

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

And in the days of Joiakim have been priests, heads of the fathers: of Seraiah, Meraiah; of Jeremiah, Hananiah;

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, are written, heads of fathers, and of the priests, in the kingdom of Darius the Persian.

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

Sons of Levi, heads of the fathers, are written on the scroll of the Chronicles even until the days of Johanan 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 heads of the Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua son of Kadmiel, and their brothers, [are] opposite them, to give praise, to give thanks, by command of David the man of God, charge close by charge.

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

Mattaniah, and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub, [are] gatekeepers, keeping watch in the gatherings of the gates.

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

These [are] in the days of Joiakim son of Jeshua, 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 make the dedication even with gladness, and with thanksgivings, and with singing, [with] cymbals, psalteries, and with harps;

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

and sons of the singers are gathered together even from the circuit around Jerusalem, and from the villages of Netophathi,

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

and from the house of Gilgal, and from fields of Geba and Azmaveth, the singers have built for villages for themselves around Jerusalem;

٣٠ 30 وَتَطَهَّرَ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ وَٱللَّاَوِيُّونَ، وَطَهَّرُوا ٱلشَّعْبَ وَٱلْأَبْوَابَ وَٱلسُّورَ.

and the priests and the Levites are cleansed, and they cleanse 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.

And I bring up the heads of Judah on the wall, and appoint two great thanksgiving companies and processions. At the right, on the wall, to the Refuse Gate;

٣٢ 32 وَسَارَ وَرَاءَهُمْ هُوشَعْيَا وَنِصْفُ رُؤَسَاءِ يَهُوذَا،

and after them goes Hoshaiah, and half of the heads 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 of the sons of the priests with trumpets, Zechariah son of Jonathan, son of Shemaiah, son of Mattaniah, son of Michaiah, son of Zaccur, son of Asaph,

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

and his brothers Shemaiah, and Azarael, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethaneel, and Judah, Hanani, with instruments of song of David the man of God, and Ezra the scribe [is] 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 by the Fountain Gate and in front of them, they have gone up by the steps of the City of David, at the going up of the wall beyond the house of David, and to 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 second thanksgiving company that is going opposite, and I after it, and half of the people on the wall from beyond the Tower of the Furnaces and to 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 beyond the Gate of Ephraim, and by the Old Gate, and by the Fish Gate, and the Tower of Hananeel, and the Tower of Meah, and to the Sheep Gate—and they have stood at the Prison Gate.

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

And the two thanksgiving companies stand in the house of God, and I and half of the prefects with me,

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

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

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

and Masseiah, and Shemaiah, and Eleazar, and Uzzi, and Jehohanan, and Malchijah, and Elam, and Ezer, and the singers sound, and Jezrahiah the inspector;

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

and they sacrifice on that day great sacrifices and rejoice, for God has made them rejoice [with] great joy, and also, the women and the children have rejoiced, and the joy of Jerusalem is heard—to a distance.

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 certain are appointed on that day over the chambers for treasures, for raised-offerings, for first-fruits, and for tithes, to gather into them out of the fields of the cities the portions of the law for priests, and for Levites, for the joy of Judah [is] over the priests, and over the Levites, who are standing up.

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

And the singers and the gatekeepers keep the charge of their God, even the charge of the cleansing—according to the command of David [and] his son Solomon,

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 [were] heads of the singers, and a song of praise and thanksgiving to 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, are giving the portions of the singers, and of the gatekeepers, the matter of a day in its day, and are sanctifying to the Levites, and the Levites are sanctifying to the sons of Aaron.
