نَحَمْيا 11

١ 1 وَسَكَنَ رُؤَسَاءُ الشَّعْبِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ. وَأَلْقَى سَائِرُ الشَّعْبِ الْقُرْعَةَ لِيَخْتَارُوا وَاحِداً مِنْ بَيْنِ كُلِّ عَشَرَةٍ لِيُقِيمَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ مَدِينَةِ الْقُدْسِ بَيْنَمَا يَتَوَزَّعُ التِّسْعَةُ الأَعْشَارِ الْبَاقُونَ عَلَى الْمُدُنِ.

And the princes of the people lived in Jerusalem. And the rest of the people also cast lots, to bring one of ten to dwell in Jerusalem the holy city, and nine parts in the other cities.

٢ 2 وَبَارَكَ الشَّعْبُ جَمِيعَ الرِّجَالِ الَّذِينَ تَطَوَّعُوا لِلسَّكَنِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ.

The people blessed all the men who willingly offered themselves to dwell in Jerusalem.

٣ 3 وَهَذَا بَيَانٌ بِأَسْمَاءِ رُؤَسَاءِ الْبِلادِ الَّذِينَ اسْتَقَرُّوا فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَإِنْ كَانَ بَعْضُ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ وَالْكَهَنَةِ وَاللّاوِيِّينَ وَخُدَّامِ الْهَيْكَلِ وَنَسْلِ رِجَالِ سُلَيْمَانَ أَقَامُوا فِي مُدُنِهِمْ، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ فِي مُلْكِهِ.

Now these are the chiefs of the province who lived in Jerusalem; but in the cities of Judah everyone lived in his possession in their cities: Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the Nethinim, and the descendants of Solomon's servants.

٤ 4 وَاسْتَوْطَنَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ بَعْضُ بَنِي يَهُوذَا وَبَنِي بِنْيَامِينَ. فَمِنْ بَنِي يَهُوذَا: عَثَايَا بْنُ عُزِّيَّا بْنِ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ أَمَرْيَا بْنِ شَفَطْيَا بْنِ مَهْلَلْئِيلَ مِنْ نَسْلِ فَارِصَ،

In Jerusalem lived certain of the people of Judah, and of the people of Benjamin. Of the people of Judah: Athaiah the son of Uzziah, the son of Zechariah, the son of Amariah, the son of Shephatiah, the son of Mahalalel, of the descendants of Perez;

٥ 5 وَمَعْسِيَا بْنُ بَارُوخَ بْنِ كَلْحُوزَةَ بْنِ حَزَايَا بْنِ عَدَايَا بْنِ يُويَارِيبَ بْنِ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ الشِّيلُونِيِّ.

All the sons of Perez who lived in Jerusalem were four hundred sixty-eight valiant men.

٧ 7 وَمِنْ بَنِي بِنْيَامِينَ: سَلُّو بْنُ مَشُلّامَ بْنِ يُوعِيدَ بْنِ فَدَايَا بْنِ قُولايَا بْنِ مَعْسِيَا بْنِ إِيثِيئِيلَ بْنِ يَشَعْيَا،

These are the sons of Benjamin: Sallu the son of Meshullam, the son of Joed, the son of Pedaiah, the son of Kolaiah, the son of Maaseiah, the son of Ithiel, the son of Jeshaiah.

Joel the son of Zikri was their overseer; and Judah the son of Hassenuah was second over the city.

The residue of Israel, of the priests, the Levites, were in all the cities of Judah, everyone in his inheritance.

٢١ 21 أَمَّا خُدَّامُ الْهَيْكَلِ فَأَقَامُوا فِي الأَكَمَةِ بِإِشْرَافِ صِيحَا وَجِشْفَا.

But the temple servants lived on Ophel, and Ziha and Gishpa were in charge of the temple servants.

For there was a commandment from the king concerning them, and a settled provision for the singers, as every day required.

٢٤ 24 كَمَا كَانَ فَتَحْيَا بْنُ مَشِيزَبْئِيلَ مِنْ بَنِي زَارَحَ بْنِ يَهُوذَا وَكِيلاً لِلْمَلِكِ لِيَفُضَّ كُلَّ أُمُورِ الشَّعْبِ.
