9 A Bakbukiáš a Unni, bratří jejich, byli naproti nim v pořádcích svých.
Bakbukiah, Unni, and other descendants of Levi formed a choir that stood opposite the other group [and sang in reply to them].
10 Jesua pak zplodil Joiakima, a Joiakim zplodil Eliasiba, Eliasib pak zplodil Joiadu.
Jeshua [who was the Supreme Priest] was the father of Joiakim, who was the father of Eliashib, who was the father of Joiada,
11 A Joiada zplodil Jonatana, Jonatan pak zplodil Jaddua.
who was the father of Jonathan, who was the father of Jaddua.
12 Za času pak Joiakima byli přední kněží z čeledí otcovských: Z Saraiášovy Meraiáš, z Jeremiášovy Chananiáš,
When Joiakim was the Supreme Priest, these were the leaders of the clans of priests: Meraiah, from [the clan of] Seraiah; Hananiah, from [the clan of] Jeremiah;
13 Z Ezdrášovy Mesullam, z Amariášovy Jochanan,

22 Levítové pak přednější z čeledí otcovských za dnů Eliasiba, Joiady, Jochanana a Jaddua, zapsáni jsou až do kralování Daria Perského.
During the years that Eliashib, Joiada, Johanan, and Jaddua [were Supreme Priests], they (wrote/kept a list of) the names of the clans who were descendants of Levi. When Darius was the king of Persia, they stopped writing that list.
23 Synové, pravím, Léví, přední v čeledech otcovských, zapsáni jsou v knize Paralipomenon, až do času Jochanana syna Eliasibova.
They wrote the names of the leaders of the clans who were descendants of Levi in the Book of Events [in Israel], but they stopped writing those names when Eliashib’s grandson Johanan [was the Supreme Priest].
24 Potom přední Levítové: Chasabiáš, Serebiáš, a Jesua syn Kadmielův, a bratří jejich naproti nim k chválení a oslavování Boha, podlé nařízení Davida muže Božího, třída proti třídě.
These are the leaders of the clans [who are] descendants of Levi: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel and others who were divided into two groups. The two groups faced each other, one group replying to the other, during the time that they praised and thanked God. They did that just as King David, the man who served God well, had instructed.
25 Mataniáš, Bakbukiáš, Abdiáš, Mesullam, Talmon, Akkub, držící stráž vrátných při domu pokladů u bran.
These singers included Mattaniah, Bakbukiah, and Obadiah. The men who guarded the storerooms close to the gates [of the temple] were Meshullam, Talmon, and Akkub.
26 Ti byli za času Joiakima, syna Jesua, syna Jozadakova, a za času Nehemiáše vůdce, a Ezdráše kněze a učitele.
They did that work during the time that Joiakim, who was the son of Jeshua and the grandson of Jehozadak, [was the Supreme Priest, ] and I was the governor, and Ezra was the priest who knew the Jewish laws very well.
27 Ku posvěcování pak zdí Jeruzalémských shlédávali Levíty ze všech míst jejich, aby je přivedli do Jeruzaléma, aby vykonali posvěcení a veselí, a to s oslavováním a zpěvy, cymbály, loutnami a harfami.
When we dedicated the wall around Jerusalem, we summoned the descendants of Levi [who help the priests] from the nearby places where they [were living]. We asked them to [join with us to] celebrate when we dedicated the wall. We wanted them to sing songs to thank [Yahweh] and make music by playing cymbals and harps and other stringed instruments.
28 Protož shromážděni jsou synové zpěváků, i z rovin okolo Jeruzaléma, i ze vsí Netofatských,
We summoned the descendants of Levi who habitually sang together. They came to Jerusalem from nearby areas [where they had settled], and from places around Netophah [town southeast of Jerusalem],
29 Též z domu Galgal, a z polí Gaba i Azmavet; nebo vsi stavěli sobě zpěváci okolo Jeruzaléma.
and from three places [northeast of Jerusalem]—Beth Gilgal [city] and the areas around Geba and Azmaveth. Those singers had built villages to live in near Jerusalem.
30 A očistivše se kněží a Levítové, očistili také lid, brány i zed.
[When they came to Jerusalem], the priests and [other] descendants of Levi [who help the priests] performed rituals to cause themselves to be acceptable to God, and then they performed similar rituals to purify the [other] people, the gates, and the wall.
31 Za tím rozkázal jsem vstoupiti knížatům Judským na zed, a postavil jsem dva houfy veliké oslavujících, z nichž jedni šli na pravo, od horní strany zdi k bráně hnojné.
Then I gathered together the leaders of Judah on top of the wall, and I appointed them to lead two large groups to march around the city [on top of the wall], thanking God. [As they faced the city, ] one group walked to the right toward the Dung Gate.
32 A za těmi šel Hosaiáš a polovice knížat Judských,
Behind their leaders marched Hoshaiah and half of the leaders of Judah.
33 Též Azariáš, Ezdráš, a Mesullam,
Behind them marched a group of priests who were blowing trumpets. They were Azariah, Ezra, Meshullam, Judah, Benjamin, Shemaiah, and Jeremiah. Next came Zechariah, the son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Micaiah, the son of Zaccur, a descendant of Asaph.
34 Juda, Beniamin, Semaiáš a Jeremiáš.
35 Potom za syny kněžskými s trubami Zachariáš syn Jonatana, syna Semaiášova, syna Mattaniášova, syna Michaiášova, syna Zakurova, syna Azafova.
36 A bratří jeho: Semaiáš, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Natanael a Juda, Chanani s nástroji hudebnými Davida muže Božího, Ezdráš pak učitel před nimi.
Behind them marched other members of Zechariah’s clan: Shemaiah, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, Judah, and Hanani. They all were playing the same kinds of musical instruments that King David had played [many years previously]. Ezra, the man who knew the Jewish laws very well, marched in front of this group.
37 Potom k bráně u studnice, kteráž naproti nim byla, vstupovali po stupních města Davidova, kudy se chodí na zed, a ode zdi při domě Davidově, až k bráně vodné k východu.
When they reached the Fountain Gate, they went up the steps to David’s City, past his palace, and then to the wall at the Water Gate, on the east side [of the city].
38 Houf pak druhý oslavujících bral se naproti oněmno, a já za nimi, a polovice lidu po zdi od věže Tannurim až ke zdi široké,
The other group of those who were thanking [Yahweh] marched to the left on top of the wall. I followed them with half of the people. [We marched] past the Tower of the Ovens to the Broad Wall.
39 A od brány Efraim k bráně staré, a k bráně rybné, a věži Chananeel, a věži Mea, až k bráně bravné. I zastavili se v bráně stráže.
[From there we marched] past Ephraim Gate, Jeshanah Gate, the Fish Gate, the Tower of Hananel, the Tower of the Hundred Soldiers, to the Sheep Gate. We finished marching near the gate into the temple.
40 Potom zastavili se oba houfové oslavujících v domě Božím, i já, a polovice knížat se mnou.
Both the groups reached the temple while they were thanking God. They stood in their places there. The leaders who were with me [also stood with me in our places].
41 Ano i kněží: Eliakim, Maaseiáš, Miniamin, Michaiáš, Elioenai, Zachariáš, Chananiáš, s trubami,
My group included these priests who were [all blowing] trumpets: Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, Hananiah,
42 A Maaseiáš, Semaiáš, Eleazar, Uzi, Jochanan, Malkiáš, Elam a Ezer. Zpěváci pak zvučně zpívali s Izrachiášem představeným svým.
[another] Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malchijah, Elam, and Ezer. The singers, whose leader was Jezrahiah, sang loudly.
43 Obětovali také v ten den oběti veliké, a veselili se; nebo Bůh obveselil je veselím velikým. Ano i ženy a děti veselily se, tak že bylo slyšáno veselí Jeruzaléma opodál.
[After we went outside the temple, ] we offered many sacrifices. We men all rejoiced because God had caused us to be very happy. The women and the children also rejoiced. People far away could hear the noise that we made there in Jerusalem.
44 Mezi tím zřízeni jsou v ten den muži nad komorami k pokladům a k obětem, i k prvotinám a k desátkům, aby shromažďovali do nich s polí městských díly, zákonem vyměřené kněžím a Levítům; nebo veselil se Juda z kněží a Levítů přístojících,
On that day, men were appointed {they appointed men} to be in charge of the storerooms where they kept the money that people contributed [for the temple]. They also kept there [the other things that the people contributed—] the tithes and the first part of the grain and fruit that was harvested each year. Those men collected those things from the fields/farms near the cities, and [took them to Jerusalem and] gave them to the priests and the [other] descendants of Levi, as [Moses had said in his] laws that they should do. All the Israeli people were happy about the work that the priests and the descendants of Levi did,
45 Kteříž držeti měli stráž Boha svého, a stráž očišťování, a zpěváků i vrátných, podlé nařízení Davidova a Šalomouna syna jeho.
because they performed the rituals to purify things, and the other rituals that God had commanded. The musicians in the temple also did their work as King David and his son Solomon had declared that they should do.
46 Nebo za času Davidova a Azafova od starodávna přední zpěváci k zpívání, chválení a oslavování Boha stáli před ním.
Ever since the time that David had been the king and Asaph had been his chief musician, the musicians had led the people while they sang songs to praise and thank God.
47 Pročež všecken Izrael za dnů Zorobábele a za času Nehemiáše dávali díly pro zpěváky a vrátné, na každý den stálé odměření, a odvodili je Levítům, Levítové pak dávali synům Aronovým.
During the years that Zerubbabel and I governed the Israeli people, they all contributed the food that the singers and temple gatekeepers needed each day. They gave (a tithe/10%) of their crops to the descendants of Levi [who helped the priests], and those descendants of Levi gave (a tithe/10%) of that to [the priests, who were] descendants of Aaron [the first Supreme Priest].
