< 尼希米記 12 >
1 同着撒拉鐵的兒子所羅巴伯和耶書亞回來的祭司與利未人記在下面:祭司是西萊雅、耶利米、以斯拉、
And these [are] the priests and the Levites who they came up with Zerubbabel [the] son of Shealtiel and Jeshua Seraiah Jeremiah Ezra.
Shecaniah Rehum Meremoth.
Shemaiah and Joiarib Jedaiah.
7 撒路、亞木、希勒家、耶大雅。這些人在耶書亞的時候作祭司和他們弟兄的首領。
Sallu Amok Hilkiah Jedaiah these [were] [the] leaders of the priests and brothers their in [the] days of Jeshua.
8 利未人是耶書亞、賓內、甲篾、示利比、猶大、瑪他尼。這瑪他尼和他的弟兄管理稱謝的事。
And the Levites Jeshua Binnui Kadmiel Sherebiah Judah Mattaniah [were] over songs of thanksgiving he and brothers his.
9 他們的弟兄八布迦和烏尼照自己的班次與他們相對。
And Bakbukiah (and Unni *Q(K)*) brothers their [were] to before them to duties.
10 耶書亞生約雅金;約雅金生以利亞實;以利亞實生耶何耶大;
And Jeshua he fathered Joiakim and Joiakim he fathered Eliashib and Eliashib Joiada.
And Joiada he fathered Jonathan and Jonathan he fathered Jaddua.
12 在約雅金的時候,祭司作族長的西萊雅族有米拉雅;耶利米族有哈拿尼雅;
And in [the] days of Joiakim they were priests [the] leaders of the fathers of Seraiah Meraiah of Jeremiah Hananiah.
Of Ezra Meshullam of Amariah Jehohanan.
(Of Mellichu *Q(K)*) Jonathan of Shebaniah Joseph.

Of Bilgah Shammua of Shemaiah Jonathan.
And of Joiarib Mattenai of Jedaiah Uzzi.
Of Sallai Kallai of Amok Eber.
Of Hilkiah Hashabiah of Jedaiah Nethanel.
22 至於利未人,當以利亞實、耶何耶大、約哈難、押杜亞的時候,他們的族長記在冊上。波斯王大流士在位的時候,作族長的祭司也記在冊上。
The Levites in [the] days of Eliashib Joiada and Johanan and Jaddua [were] recorded leaders of fathers and the priests on [the] reign of Darius the Persian.
23 利未人作族長的記在歷史上,直到以利亞實的兒子約哈難的時候。
[the] descendants of Levi [the] leaders of the fathers [were] recorded on [the] scroll of [the] matters of the days and until [the] days of Johanan [the] son of Eliashib.
24 利未人的族長是哈沙比雅、示利比、甲篾的兒子耶書亞,與他們弟兄的班次相對,照着神人大衛的命令一班一班地讚美稱謝。
And [the] leaders of the Levites [were] Hashabiah Sherebiah and Jeshua [the] son of Kadmiel and brothers their [were] to before them to praise to give thanks by [the] commandment of David [the] man of God division corresponding to division.
25 瑪他尼、八布迦、俄巴底亞、米書蘭、達們、亞谷是守門的,就是在庫房那裏守門。
Mattaniah and Bakbukiah Obadiah Meshullam Talmon Akkub keeping [were] gatekeepers guard at [the] storerooms of the gates.
26 這都是在約撒達的孫子、耶書亞的兒子約雅金和省長尼希米,並祭司文士以斯拉的時候,有職任的。
These [were] in [the] days of Joiakim [the] son of Jeshua [the] son of Jozadak and in [the] days of Nehemiah the governor and Ezra the priest the scribe.
27 耶路撒冷城牆告成的時候,眾民就把各處的利未人招到耶路撒冷,要稱謝、歌唱、敲鈸、鼓瑟、彈琴,歡歡喜喜地行告成之禮。
And at [the] dedication of [the] wall of Jerusalem people sought the Levites from all places their to bring them to Jerusalem to celebrate dedication and joy and with thanksgivings and with song cymbals lyres and with harps.
28 歌唱的人從耶路撒冷的周圍和尼陀法的村莊與伯‧吉甲,又從迦巴和押瑪弗的田地聚集,因為歌唱的人在耶路撒冷四圍為自己立了村莊。
And they gathered [the] sons of the singers and from the district around Jerusalem and from [the] villages of [the] Netophathite[s].
And from Beth Gilgal and from [the] fields of Geba and Azmaveth for villages they had built for themselves the singers around Jerusalem.
30 祭司和利未人就潔淨自己,也潔淨百姓和城門,並城牆。
And they purified themselves the priests and the Levites and they purified the people and the gates and the wall.
31 我帶猶大的首領上城,使稱謝的人分為兩大隊,排列而行:第一隊在城上往右邊向糞廠門行走,
And I caused to go up [the] leaders of Judah from on to the wall and I appointed! two thanksgiving choirs large and processions to the right from on to the wall to [the] gate of the dung.
And he went behind them Hoshaiah and [the] half of [the] leaders of Judah.
And Azariah Ezra and Meshullam.
Judah and Benjamin and Shemaiah and Jeremiah.
35 還有些吹號之祭司的子孫,約拿單的兒子撒迦利亞。約拿單是示瑪雅的兒子;示瑪雅是瑪他尼的兒子;瑪他尼是米該亞的兒子;米該亞是撒刻的兒子;撒刻是亞薩的兒子;
And some of [the] sons of the priests with trumpets Zechariah [the] son of Jonathan [the] son of Shemaiah [the] son of Mattaniah [the] son of Micaiah [the] son of Zaccur [the] son of Asaph.
36 又有撒迦利亞的弟兄示瑪雅、亞撒利、米拉萊、基拉萊、瑪艾、拿坦業、猶大、哈拿尼,都拿着神人大衛的樂器,文士以斯拉引領他們。
And brothers his Shemaiah and Azarel Milalai Gilalai Maai Nethanel and Judah Hanani with [the] instruments of song of David [the] man of God and Ezra the scribe [was] before them.
37 他們經過泉門往前,從大衛城的臺階隨地勢而上,在大衛宮殿以上,直行到朝東的水門。
And over [the] gate of the spring and before themselves they went up on [the] steps of [the] city of David at the ascent to the wall from above to [the] house of David and to [the] gate of the water east.
38 第二隊稱謝的人要與那一隊相迎而行。我和民的一半跟隨他們,在城牆上過了爐樓,直到寬牆;
And the thanksgiving choir second [was] the [one which] was going to [the] front and I [was] behind it and [the] half of the people from on to the wall from above to [the] tower of the ovens and to the wall broad.
39 又過了以法蓮門、古門、魚門、哈楠業樓、哈米亞樓,直到羊門,就在護衛門站住。
And from over to [the] gate of Ephraim and over [the] gate of Jeshanah and over [the] gate of the fish and [the] tower of Hananel and [the] tower of the hundred and to [the] gate of the sheep and they stopped at [the] gate of the guard.
40 於是,這兩隊稱謝的人連我和官長的一半,站在上帝的殿裏。
And they took their stand [the] two the thanksgiving choirs in [the] house of God and I and [the] half of the officials with me.
41 還有祭司以利亞金、瑪西雅、米拿民、米該亞、以利約乃、撒迦利亞、哈楠尼亞吹號;
And the priests Eliakim Maaseiah Miniamin Micaiah Elioenai Zechariah Hananiah with trumpets.
42 又有瑪西雅、示瑪雅、以利亞撒、烏西、約哈難、瑪基雅、以攔,和以謝奏樂。歌唱的就大聲歌唱,伊斯拉希雅管理他們。
And Maaseiah and Shemaiah and Eleazar and Uzzi and Jehohanan and Malkijah and Elam and Ezer and they caused to hear the singers and Izrahiah [was] the overseer.
43 那日,眾人獻大祭而歡樂;因為上帝使他們大大歡樂,連婦女帶孩童也都歡樂,甚至耶路撒冷中的歡聲聽到遠處。
And they sacrificed on the day that sacrifices great and they rejoiced for God he had made rejoice them joy great and also the women and the children they rejoiced and it was heard [the] rejoicing of Jerusalem from a distance.
44 當日,派人管理庫房,將舉祭、初熟之物和所取的十分之一,就是按各城田地,照律法所定歸給祭司和利未人的分,都收在裏頭。猶大人因祭司和利未人供職,就歡樂了。
And they were appointed on the day that men over the rooms for the stores for the contributions for the first [fruit] and for the tithes to gather in them to [the] fields of the cities [the] portions of the law for the priests and for the Levites for [the] joy of Judah [was] on the priests and on the Levites who were standing.
45 祭司利未人遵守上帝所吩咐的,並守潔淨的禮。歌唱的、守門的,照着大衛和他兒子所羅門的命令也如此行。
And they kept [the] service of God their and [the] service of purification and the singers and the gatekeepers according to [the] command of David Solomon son his.
46 古時,在大衛和亞薩的日子,有歌唱的伶長,並有讚美稱謝上帝的詩歌。
For in [the] days of David and Asaph from antiquity ([the] leaders of *Q(K)*) the singers and [the] song of praise and thanksgiving to God.
47 當所羅巴伯和尼希米的時候,以色列眾人將歌唱的、守門的,每日所當得的分供給他們,又給利未人當得的分;利未人又給亞倫的子孫當得的分。
And all Israel in [the] days of Zerubbabel and in [the] days of Nehemiah [were] giving [the] portions of the singers and the gatekeepers [the] matter of a day in day its and [were] setting apart for the Levites and the Levites [were] setting apart for [the] descendants of Aaron.
