8 The Levites were Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, and Mattaniah, who, with his associates, led the songs of thanksgiving.
利未人是耶书亚、宾内、甲篾、示利比、犹大、玛他尼。这玛他尼和他的弟兄管理称谢的事。
9 Bakbukiah and Unni, their associates, stood across from them in the services.
他们的弟兄八布迦和乌尼照自己的班次与他们相对。
10 Jeshua was the father of Joiakim, Joiakim was the father of Eliashib, Eliashib was the father of Joiada,
耶书亚生约雅金；约雅金生以利亚实；以利亚实生耶何耶大；
11 Joiada was the father of Jonathan, and Jonathan was the father of Jaddua.

22 In the days of Eliashib, Joiada, Johanan, and Jaddua, during the reign of Darius the Persian, the heads of the families of the Levites and priests were recorded.
至于利未人，当以利亚实、耶何耶大、约哈难、押杜亚的时候，他们的族长记在册上。波斯王大流士在位的时候，作族长的祭司也记在册上。
23 As for the descendants of Levi, the family heads up to the days of Johanan son of Eliashib were recorded in the Book of the Chronicles.
利未人作族长的记在历史上，直到以利亚实的儿子约哈难的时候。
24 The leaders of the Levites were Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua son of Kadmiel, along with their associates, who stood across from them to give praise and thanksgiving as one section alternated with the other, as prescribed by David the man of God.
利未人的族长是哈沙比雅、示利比、甲篾的儿子耶书亚，与他们弟兄的班次相对，照着神人大卫的命令一班一班地赞美称谢。
25 Mattaniah, Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, and Akkub were gatekeepers who guarded the storerooms at the gates.
玛他尼、八布迦、俄巴底亚、米书兰、达们、亚谷是守门的，就是在库房那里守门。
26 They served in the days of Joiakim son of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor and Ezra the priest and scribe.
这都是在约撒达的孙子、耶书亚的儿子约雅金和省长尼希米，并祭司文士以斯拉的时候，有职任的。
27 At the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem, the Levites were sought out from all their homes and brought to Jerusalem to celebrate the joyous dedication with thanksgiving and singing, accompanied by cymbals, harps, and lyres.
耶路撒冷城墙告成的时候，众民就把各处的利未人招到耶路撒冷，要称谢、歌唱、敲钹、鼓瑟、弹琴，欢欢喜喜地行告成之礼。
28 The singers were also assembled from the region around Jerusalem, from the villages of the Netophathites,
歌唱的人从耶路撒冷的周围和尼陀法的村庄与伯·吉甲，又从迦巴和押玛弗的田地聚集，因为歌唱的人在耶路撒冷四围为自己立了村庄。
29 from Beth-gilgal, and from the fields of Geba and Azmaveth, for they had built villages for themselves around Jerusalem.
30 After the priests and Levites had purified themselves, they purified the people, the gates, and the wall.
祭司和利未人就洁净自己，也洁净百姓和城门，并城墙。
31 Then I brought the leaders of Judah up on the wall, and I appointed two great thanksgiving choirs. One was to proceed along the top of the wall to the right, toward the Dung Gate.
我带犹大的首领上城，使称谢的人分为两大队，排列而行：第一队在城上往右边向粪厂门行走，
32 Hoshaiah and half the leaders of Judah followed,
在他们后头的有何沙雅与犹大首领的一半，
33 along with Azariah, Ezra, Meshullam,
又有亚撒利雅、以斯拉、米书兰、
34 Judah, Benjamin, Shemaiah, Jeremiah,
犹大、便雅悯、示玛雅、耶利米。
35 and some of the priests with trumpets, and also Zechariah son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Micaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph,
还有些吹号之祭司的子孙，约拿单的儿子撒迦利亚。约拿单是示玛雅的儿子；示玛雅是玛他尼的儿子；玛他尼是米该亚的儿子；米该亚是撒刻的儿子；撒刻是亚萨的儿子；
36 and his associates—Shemaiah, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, Judah, and Hanani—with the musical instruments prescribed by David the man of God. Ezra the scribe led the procession.
又有撒迦利亚的弟兄示玛雅、亚撒利、米拉莱、基拉莱、玛艾、拿坦业、犹大、哈拿尼，都拿着神人大卫的乐器，文士以斯拉引领他们。
37 At the Fountain Gate they climbed the steps of the City of David on the ascent to the wall and passed above the house of David to the Water Gate on the east.
他们经过泉门往前，从大卫城的台阶随地势而上，在大卫宫殿以上，直行到朝东的水门。
38 The second thanksgiving choir proceeded to the left, and I followed it with half the people along the top of the wall, past the Tower of the Ovens to the Broad Wall,
第二队称谢的人要与那一队相迎而行。我和民的一半跟随他们，在城墙上过了炉楼，直到宽墙；
39 over the Gate of Ephraim, the Jeshanah Gate, the Fish Gate, the Tower of Hananel, and the Tower of the Hundred, as far as the Sheep Gate. And they stopped at the Gate of the Guard.
又过了以法莲门、古门、鱼门、哈楠业楼、哈米亚楼，直到羊门，就在护卫门站住。
40 The two thanksgiving choirs then stood in the house of God, as did I, along with the half of the officials accompanying me,
于是，这两队称谢的人连我和官长的一半，站在 神的殿里。
41 as well as the priests with their trumpets—Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah—
还有祭司以利亚金、玛西雅、米拿民、米该雅、以利约乃、撒迦利亚、哈楠尼亚吹号；
42 and also Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malchijah, Elam, and Ezer. Then the choirs sang out under the direction of Jezrahiah.
又有玛西雅、示玛雅、以利亚撒、乌西、约哈难、玛基雅、以拦，和以谢奏乐。歌唱的就大声歌唱，伊斯拉希雅管理他们。
43 On that day they offered great sacrifices, rejoicing because God had given them great joy. The women and children also rejoiced, so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard from afar.
那日，众人献大祭而欢乐；因为 神使他们大大欢乐，连妇女带孩童也都欢乐，甚至耶路撒冷中的欢声听到远处。
44 And on that same day men were appointed over the rooms that housed the supplies, contributions, firstfruits, and tithes. The portions specified by the Law for the priests and Levites were gathered into these storerooms from the fields of the villages, because Judah rejoiced over the priests and Levites who were serving.
当日，派人管理库房，将举祭、初熟之物和所取的十分之一，就是按各城田地，照律法所定归给祭司和利未人的分，都收在里头。犹大人因祭司和利未人供职，就欢乐了。
45 They performed the service of their God and the service of purification, along with the singers and gatekeepers, as David and his son Solomon had prescribed.
祭司利未人遵守 神所吩咐的，并守洁净的礼。歌唱的、守门的，照着大卫和他儿子所罗门的命令也如此行。
46 For long ago, in the days of David and Asaph, there were directors for the singers and for the songs of praise and thanksgiving to God.
古时，在大卫和亚萨的日子，有歌唱的伶长，并有赞美称谢 神的诗歌。
47 So in the days of Zerubbabel and Nehemiah, all Israel contributed the daily portions for the singers and gatekeepers. They also set aside daily portions for the Levites, and the Levites set aside daily portions for the descendants of Aaron.
当所罗巴伯和尼希米的时候，以色列众人将歌唱的、守门的，每日所当得的分供给他们，又给利未人当得的分；利未人又给亚伦的子孙当得的分。
