Ezra 8
1 These are the family heads and genealogical records of those who returned with me from Babylon during the reign of King Artaxerxes:
Hi sunt ergo principes familiarum, et genealogia eorum, qui ascenderunt mecum in regno Artaxerxis regis de Babylone.
2 from the descendants of Phinehas, Gershom; from the descendants of Ithamar, Daniel; from the descendants of David, Hattush
De filiis Phinees, Gersom. De filiis Ithamar, Daniel. De filiis David, Hattus.
3 of the descendants of Shecaniah; from the descendants of Parosh, Zechariah, and with him were registered 150 men;
De filiis Secheniæ, filiis Pharos, Zacharias: et cum eo numerati sunt viri centum quinquaginta.
4 from the descendants of Pahath-Moab, Eliehoenai son of Zerahiah, and with him 200 men;

5 from the descendants of Zattu, Shecaniah son of Jahaziel, and with him 300 men;
De filiis Secheniæ, filius Ezechiel, et cum eo trecenti viri.
6 from the descendants of Adin, Ebed son of Jonathan, and with him 50 men;
De filiis Adan, Abed filius Ionathan, et cum eo quinquaginta viri.
7 from the descendants of Elam, Jeshaiah son of Athaliah, and with him 70 men;
De filiis Alam, Isaias filius Athaliæ, et cum eo septuaginta viri.
8 from the descendants of Shephatiah, Zebadiah son of Michael, and with him 80 men;
De filiis Saphatiæ, Zebedia filius Michael, et cum eo octoginta viri.
9 from the descendants of Joab, Obadiah son of Jehiel, and with him 218 men;
De filiis Ioab, Obedia filius Iahiel, et cum eo ducenti decem et octo viri.
10 from the descendants of Bani, Shelomith son of Josiphiah, and with him 160 men;
De filiis Selomith, filius Iosphiæ, et cum eo centum sexaginta viri.
11 from the descendants of Bebai, Zechariah son of Bebai, and with him 28 men;
De filiis Bebai, Zacharias filius Bebai, et cum eo vigintiocto viri.
12 from the descendants of Azgad, Johanan son of Hakkatan, and with him 110 men;
De filiis Azgad, Iohanan filius Eccetan, et cum eo centum et decem viri.
13 from the later descendants of Adonikam, these were their names: Eliphelet, Jeiel, and Shemaiah, and with them 60 men;
De filiis Adonicam, qui erant novissimi: et hæc nomina eorum: Elipheleth, et Iehiel, et Samaias, et cum eis sexaginta viri.
14 and from the descendants of Bigvai, both Uthai and Zaccur, and with them 70 men.
De filii Begui, Uthai et Zachur, et cum eis septuaginta viri.
15 Now I assembled these exiles at the canal that flows to Ahava, and we camped there three days. And when I searched among the people and priests, I found no Levites there.
Congregavi autem eos ad fluvium, qui decurrit ad Ahava, et mansimus ibi tribus diebus: quæsivique in populo et in sacerdotibus de filiis Levi, et non inveni ibi.
16 Then I summoned the leaders: Eliezer, Ariel, Shemaiah, Elnathan, Jarib, Elnathan, Nathan, Zechariah, and Meshullam, as well as the teachers Joiarib and Elnathan.
Itaque misi Eliezer, et Ariel, et Semeiam, et Elnathan, et Iarib, et alterum Elnathan, et Nathan, et Zachariam, et Mosollam principes: et Ioiarib, et Elnathan sapientes.
17 And I sent them to Iddo, the leader at Casiphia, with a message for him and his kinsmen, the temple servants at Casiphia, that they should bring to us ministers for the house of our God.
Et misi eos ad Eddo, qui est primus in Chasphiæ loco, et posui in ore eorum verba, quæ loquerentur ad Eddo, et fratres eius Nathinæos in loco Chasphiæ ut adducerent nobis ministros domus Dei nostri.
18 And since the gracious hand of our God was upon us, they brought us Sherebiah—a man of insight from the descendants of Mahli son of Levi, the son of Israel—along with his sons and brothers, 18 men;
Et adduxerunt nobis per manum Dei nostri bonam super nos, virum doctissimum de filiis Moholi filii Levi filii Israel, et Sarabiam et filios eius et fratres eius decem et octo,
19 also Hashabiah, together with Jeshaiah, from the descendants of Merari, and his brothers and their sons, 20 men.
et Hasabiam, et cum eo Isaiam de filiis Merari, fratresque eius, et filios eius viginti:
20 They also brought 220 of the temple servants, all designated by name. David and the officials had appointed them to assist the Levites.
et de Nathinæis, quos dederat David et principes ad ministeria Levitarum, Nathinæos ducentos viginti: omnes hi suis nominibus vocabantur.
21 And there by the Ahava Canal I proclaimed a fast, so that we might humble ourselves before our God and ask Him for a safe journey for us and our children, with all our possessions.
Et prædicavi ibi ieiunium iuxta fluvium Ahava ut affligeremur coram Domino Deo nostro, et peteremus ab eo viam rectam nobis et filiis nostris, universæque substantiæ nostræ.
22 For I was ashamed to ask the king for an escort of soldiers and horsemen to protect us from our enemies on the road, since we had told him, “The hand of our God is gracious to all who seek Him, but His great anger is against all who forsake Him.”
Erubui enim petere a rege auxilium et equites, qui defenderent nos ab inimico in via: quia dixeramus regi: Manus Dei nostri est super omnes, qui quærunt eum in bonitate: et imperium eius et fortitudo eius, et furor super omnes, qui derelinquunt eum.
23 So we fasted and petitioned our God about this, and He granted our request.
Ieiunavimus autem, et rogavimus Deum nostrum per hoc: et evenit nobis prospere.
24 Then I set apart twelve of the leading priests, together with Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brothers,
Et separavi de principibus Sacerdotum duodecim, Sarabiam, et Hasabiam, et cum eis de fratribus eorum decem.
25 and I weighed out to them the contribution of silver and gold and the articles that the king, his counselors, his leaders, and all the Israelites there had offered for the house of our God.
appendique eis argentum et aurum, et vasa consecrata domus Dei nostri, quæ obtulerat rex et consiliatores eius, et principes eius, universusque Israel eorum, qui inventi fuerant:
26 I weighed out into their hands 650 talents of silver, articles of silver weighing 100 talents, 100 talents of gold,
et appendi in manibus eorum argenti talenta sexcenta quinquaginta, et vasa argentea centum, auri centum talenta:
27 20 gold bowls valued at 1,000 darics, and two articles of fine polished bronze, as precious as gold.
et crateres aureos viginti, qui habebant solidos millenos, et vasa æris fulgentis optimi duo, pulchra, ut aurum.
28 Then I told them, “You are holy to the LORD, and these articles are holy. The silver and gold are a freewill offering to the LORD, the God of your fathers.
Et dixi eis: Vos sancti Domini, et vasa sancta, et argentum et aurum, quod sponte oblatum est Domino Deo patrum nostrorum:
29 Guard them carefully until you weigh them out in the chambers of the house of the LORD in Jerusalem before the leading priests, Levites, and heads of the Israelite families.”
vigilate et custodite, donec appendatis coram principibus Sacerdotum, et Levitarum, et ducibus familiarum Israel in Ierusalem, in thesaurum domus Domini.
30 So the priests and Levites took charge of the silver and gold and sacred articles that had been weighed out to be taken to the house of our God in Jerusalem.
Susceperunt autem Sacerdotes et Levitæ pondus argenti, et auri, et vasorum ut deferrent Ierusalem in domum Dei nostri.
31 On the twelfth day of the first month we set out from the Ahava Canal to go to Jerusalem, and the hand of our God was upon us to protect us from the hands of the enemies and bandits along the way.
Promovimus ergo a flumine Ahava duodecimo die mensis primi ut pergeremus Ierusalem: et manus Dei nostri fuit super nos, et liberavit nos de manu inimici et insidiatoris in via.
32 So we arrived at Jerusalem and rested there for three days.
Et venimus Ierusalem, et mansimus ibi tribus diebus.
33 On the fourth day, in the house of our God, we weighed out the silver and gold and sacred articles into the hand of Meremoth son of Uriah, the priest. Eleazar son of Phinehas was with him, along with the Levites Jozabad son of Jeshua and Noadiah son of Binnui.
Die autem quarta appensum est argentum, et aurum, et vasa in domo Dei nostri per manum Meremoth filii Uriæ Sacerdotis, et cum eo Eleazar filius Phinees, cumque eis Iozabed filius Iosue, et Noadaia filius Bennoi Levitæ,
34 Everything was verified by number and weight, and the total weight was recorded at that time.
iuxta numerum et pondus omnium: descriptumque est omne pondus in tempore illo.
35 Then the exiles who had returned from captivity sacrificed burnt offerings to the God of Israel: 12 bulls for all Israel, 96 rams, 77 lambs, and a sin offering of 12 male goats. All this was a burnt offering to the LORD.
Sed et qui venerant de captivitate filii transmigrationis, obtulerunt holocautomata Deo Israel, vitulos duodecim pro omni populo Israel, arietes nonaginta sex, agnos septuaginta septem, hircos pro peccato, duodecim: omnia in holocaustum Domino.
36 They also delivered the king’s edicts to the royal satraps and governors of the region west of the Euphrates, who proceeded to assist the people and the house of God.
Dederunt autem edicta regis satrapis, qui erant de conspectu regis et ducibus trans Flumen, et elevaverunt populum et domum Dei.
