Nehemiah 12

1 Now these are the priests and the Levites who went up with Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua: Seraiah, Jeremiah, Ezra,

١ وَهَؤُلَاءِ هُمُ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ وَٱللَّاَوِيُّونَ ٱلَّذِينَ صَعِدُوا مَعَ زَرُبَّابِلَ بْنِ شَأَلْتِئِيلَ وَيَشُوعَ: سَرَايَا وَيِرْمِيَا وَعَزْرَا،

2 Amariah, Malluch, Hattush,

٢ وَأَمَرْيَا وَمَلُّوخُ وَحَطُّوشُ،

3 Shecaniah, Rehum, Meremoth,

٣ وَشَكَنْيَا وَرَحُومُ وَمَرِيمُوثُ،

4 Iddo, Ginnethoi, Abijah,

٤ وَعِدُّو وَجِنْتُويُ وَأَبِيَّا،

5 Mijamin, Maadiah, Bilgah,

٥ وَمِيَّامِينُ وَمَعَدْيَا وَبَلْجَةُ،

6 Shemaiah, and Joiarib, Jedaiah,

٦ وَشَمَعْيَا وَيُويَارِيبُ وَيَدَعْيَا،

7 Sallu, Amok, Hilkiah, Jedaiah. These were the chiefs of the priests and of their brothers in the days of Jeshua.

٧ وَسَلُّو وَعَامُوقُ وَحِلْقِيَّا وَيَدَعْيَا. هَؤُلَاءِ هُمْ رُؤُوسُ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَإِخْوَتُهُمْ فِي أَيَّامِ يَشُوعَ.

8 And the Levites: Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, and Mattaniah, who was over the music-makers, he and his brothers.

٨ وَٱللَّاَوِيُّونَ: يَشُوعُ وَبِنُّويُ وَقَدْمِيئِيلُ وَشَرَبْيَا وَيَهُوذَا وَمَتَّنْيَا ٱلَّذِي عَلَى ٱلتَّحْمِيدِ هُوَ وَإِخْوَتُهُ،

9 And Bakbukiah and Unno, their brothers, were opposite them in their watches.

٩ وَبَقْبُقْيَا وَعُنِّي أَخَوَاهُمْ مُقَابِلَهُمْ فِي ٱلْحِرَاسَاتِ.

10 And Jeshua was the father of Joiakim, and Joiakim was the father of Eliashib, and Eliashib was the father of Joiada,

١٠ وَيَشُوعُ وَلَدَ يُويَاقِيمَ، وَيُويَاقِيمُ وَلَدَ أَلِيَاشِيبَ، وَأَلِيَاشِيبُ وَلَدَ يُويَادَاعَ،

11 And Joiada was the father of Jonathan, and Jonathan was the father of Jaddua.

١١ وَيُويَادَاعُ وَلَدَ يُونَاثَانَ، وَيُونَاثَانُ وَلَدَ يَدُّوعَ.

12 And in the days of Joiakim there were priests, heads of families: of Seraiah, Meraiah; of Jeremiah, Hananiah;

١٢ وَفِي أَيَّامِ يُويَاقِيمَ كَانَ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ رُؤُوسُ ٱلْآبَاءِ: لِسَرَايَا مَرَايَا، وَلِيرْمِيَا حَنَنْيَا،

13 Of Ezra, Meshullam; of Amariah, Jehohanan;

١٣ وَلِعَزْرَا مَشُلَّامُ، وَلِأَمَرْيَا يَهُوحَانَانُ،

14 Of Malluchi, Jonathan; of Shebaniah, Joseph;

١٤ وَلِمَلِيكُو يُونَاثَانُ، وَلِشَبْنِيَا يُوسُفُ،

15 Of Harim, Adna; of Meraioth, Helkai;

١٥ وَلِحَرِيمَ عَدْنَا، وَلِمَرَايُوثَ حَلْقَايُ،

16 Of Iddo, Zechariah; of Ginnethon, Meshullam;

١٦ وَلِعِدُّو زَكَرِيَّا وَلِجِنَّثُونَ مَشُلَّامُ،

17 Of Abijah, Zichri; of Miniamin, of Moadiah, Piltai;

١٧ وَلِأَبِيَّا زِكْرِي، وَلِمِنْيَامِينَ لِمُوعَدْيَا، فِلْطَايُ،

18 Of Bilgah, Shammua; of Shemaiah, Jehonathan;

١٨ وَلِبِلْجَةَ شَمُّوعُ، وَلِشَمَعْيَا يَهُونَاثَانُ،

19 And of Joiarib, Mattenai; of Jedaiah, Uzzi;

١٩ وَلِيُويَارِيبَ مَتْنَايُ، وَلِيَدَعْيَا عُزِّي،

20 Of Sallai, Kallai; of Amok, Eber;

٢٠ وَلِسَلَّايَ قَلَّايُ، وَلِعَامُوقَ عَابِرُ،

21 Of Hilkiah, Hashabiah; of Jedaiah, Nethanel.

٢١ وَلِحِلْقِيَّا حَشَبْيَا، وَلِيَدَعْيَا نَثَنْئِيلُ.

22 The Levites in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, and Johanan, and Jaddua, were listed as heads of families; and the priests, when Darius the Persian was king.

٢٢ وَكَانَ ٱللَّاَوِيُّونَ فِي أَيَّامِ أَلِيَاشِيبَ وَيُويَادَاعَ وَيُوحَانَانَ وَيَدُّوعَ مَكْتُوبِينَ رُؤُوسَ آبَاءٍ، وَٱلْكَهَنَةُ أَيْضًا فِي مُلْكِ دَارِيُوسَ ٱلْفَارِسِيِّ.

23 The sons of Levi, heads of families, were recorded in the book of the histories, even till the days of Johanan, the son of Eliashib.

٢٣ وَكَانَ بَنُو لَاوِي رُؤُوسُ ٱلْآبَاءِ مَكْتُوبِينَ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ إِلَى أَيَّامِ يُوحَانَانَ بْنِ أَلِيَاشِيبَ.

24 And the chiefs of the Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua, the son of Kadmiel, with their brothers opposite them, to give blessing and praise as ordered by David, the man of God, watch against watch.

٢٤ وَرُؤُوسُ ٱللَّاَوِيِّينَ: حَشَبْيَا وَشَرَبْيَا وَيَشُوعُ بْنُ قَدْمِيئِيلَ وَإِخْوَتُهُمْ مُقَابِلَهُمْ لِلتَّسْبِيحِ وَٱلتَّحْمِيدِ، حَسَبَ وَصِيَّةِ دَاوُدَ رَجُلِ ٱللهِ، نَوْبَةً مُقَابِلَ نَوْبَةٍ.

25 Mattaniah, and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub, were door-keepers keeping the watch at the store-houses of the doors.

٢٥ وَكَانَ مَتَّنْيَا وَبَقْبُقْيَا وَعُوبَدْيَا وَمَشُلَّامُ وَطَلْمُونُ وَعَقُّوبُ بَوَّابِينَ حَارِسِينَ ٱلْحِرَاسَةَ عِنْدَ مَخَازِنِ ٱلْأَبْوَابِ.

26 These were in the days of Joiakim, the son of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the ruler and of Ezra the priest, the scribe.

٢٦ كَانَ هَؤُلَاءِ فِي أَيَّامِ يُويَاقِيمَ بْنِ يَشُوعَ بْنِ يُوصَادَاقَ، وَفِي أَيَّامِ نَحَمْيَا ٱلْوَالِي، وَعَزْرَا ٱلْكَاهِنِ ٱلْكَاتِبِ.

27 And when the time came for the wall of Jerusalem to be made holy, they sent for the Levites out of all their places to come to Jerusalem, to keep the feast with joy, and with praise and melody, with brass and corded instruments of music.

٢٧ وَعِنْدَ تَدْشِينِ سُورِ أُورُشَلِيمَ طَلَبُوا ٱللَّاَوِيِّينَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَمَاكِنِهِمْ لِيَأْتُوا بِهِمْ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، لِكَيْ يُدَشِّنُوا بِفَرَحٍ وَبِحَمْدٍ وَغِنَاءٍ بِٱلصُّنُوجِ وَٱلرَّبَابِ وَٱلْعِيدَانِ.

28 And the sons of the music-makers came together from the lowland round about Jerusalem and from the daughter-towns of the Netophathites,

٢٨ فَٱجْتَمَعَ بَنُو ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ مِنَ ٱلدَّائِرَةِ حَوْلَ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَمِنْ ضِيَاعِ ٱلنَّطُوفَاتِيِّ،

29 And from Beth-gilgal and from the fields of Geba and Azmaveth: for the music-makers had made daughter-towns for themselves round about Jerusalem.

٢٩ وَمِنْ بَيْتِ ٱلْجِلْجَالِ، وَمِنْ حُقُولِ جَبَعَ وَعَزْمُوتَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ بَنَوْا لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ ضِيَاعًا حَوْلَ أُورُشَلِيمَ.

30 And the priests and the Levites made themselves clean; and they made the people clean, and the doorways and the wall.

٣٠ وَتَطَهَّرَ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ وَٱللَّاَوِيُّونَ، وَطَهَّرُوا ٱلشَّعْبَ وَٱلْأَبْوَابَ وَٱلسُّورَ.

31 Then I made the rulers of Judah come up on the wall, and I put in position two great bands of them who gave praise, walking in ordered lines; one went to the right on the wall, in the direction of the doorway where the waste was put;

٣١ وَأَصْعَدْتُ رُؤَسَاءَ يَهُوذَا عَلَى ٱلسُّورِ. وَأَقَمْتُ فِرْقَتَيْنِ عَظِيمَتَيْنِ مِنَ ٱلْحَمَّادِينَ، وَوَكَبَتِ ٱلْوَاحِدَةُ يَمِينًا عَلَى ٱلسُّورِ نَحْوَ بَابِ ٱلدِّمْنِ.

32 And after them went Hoshaiah and half of the rulers of Judah,

٣٢ وَسَارَ وَرَاءَهُمْ هُوشَعْيَا وَنِصْفُ رُؤَسَاءِ يَهُوذَا،

33 And Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam,

٣٣ وَعَزَرْيَا وَعَزْرَا وَمَشُلَّامُ،

34 Judah and Benjamin and Shemaiah and Jeremiah,

٣٤ وَيَهُوذَا وَبَنْيَامِينُ وَشَمَعْيَا وَيِرْمِيَا،

35 And certain of the priests' sons with wind instruments; 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,

٣٥ وَمِنْ بَنِي ٱلْكَهَنَةِ بِٱلْأَبْوَاقِ زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ يُونَاثَانَ بْنِ شَمَعْيَا بْنِ مَتَّنْيَا بْنِ مِيخَايَا بْنِ زَكُّورَ بْنِ آسَافَ،

36 And his brothers, Shemaiah, and Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel and Judah, Hanani, with the music-instruments of David, the man of God; and Ezra the scribe was at their head;

٣٦ وَإِخْوَتُهُ شَمَعْيَا وَعَزَرْئِيلُ وَمِلَلَايُ وَجِلَلَايُ وَمَاعَايُ وَنَثَنْئِيلُ وَيَهُوذَا وَحَنَانِي بِآلَاتِ غِنَاءِ دَاوُدَ رَجُلِ ٱللهِ، وَعَزْرَا ٱلْكَاتِبُ أَمَامَهُمْ.

37 And by the doorway of the fountain and straight in front of them, they went up by the steps of the town of David, at the slope up of the wall, over the house of David, as far as the water-doorway to the east.

٣٧ وَعِنْدَ بَابِ ٱلْعَيْنِ ٱلَّذِي مُقَابِلَهُمْ صَعِدُوا عَلَى دَرَجِ مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ عِنْدَ مَصْعَدِ ٱلسُّورِ، فَوْقَ بَيْتِ دَاوُدَ، إِلَى بَابِ ٱلْمَاءِ شَرْقًا.

38 And the other band of those who gave praise went to the left, and I went after them with half the people, on the wall, over the tower of the ovens, as far as the wide wall;

٣٨ وَٱلْفِرْقَةُ ٱلثَّانِيَةُ مِنَ ٱلْحَمَّادِينَ وَكَبَتْ مُقَابِلَهُمْ، وَأَنَا وَرَاءَهَا، وَنِصْفُ ٱلشَّعْبِ عَلَى ٱلسُّورِ مِنْ عِنْدِ بُرْجِ ٱلتَّنَانِيرِ إِلَى ٱلسُّورِ ٱلْعَرِيضِ.

39 And over the doorway of Ephraim and by the old door and the fish door and the tower of Hananel and the tower of Hammeah, as far as the sheep door: and at the doorway of the watchmen they came to a stop.

٣٩ وَمِنْ فَوْقِ بَابِ أَفْرَايِمَ وَفَوْقَ ٱلْبَابِ ٱلْعَتِيقِ وَفَوْقَ بَابِ ٱلسَّمَكِ وَبُرْجِ حَنَنْئِيلَ وَبُرْجِ ٱلْمِئَةِ إِلَى بَابِ ٱلضَّأْنِ، وَوَقَفُوا فِي بَابِ ٱلسِّجْنِ.

40 So the two bands of those who gave praise took up their positions in the house of God, and I and half of the chiefs with me:

٤٠ فَوَقَفَتْ ٱلْفِرْقَتَانِ مِنَ ٱلْحَمَّادِينَ فِي بَيْتِ ٱللهِ، وَأَنَا وَنِصْفُ ٱلْوُلَاةِ مَعِي،

41 And the priests; Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with wind instruments;

٤١ وَٱلْكَهَنَةُ: أَلْيَاقِيمُ وَمَعْسِيَا وَمِنْيَامِينُ وَمِيخَايَا وَأَلْيُوعِينَايُ وَزَكَرِيَّا وَحَنَنْيَا بِٱلْأَبْوَاقِ،

42 And Maaseiah and Shemaiah and Eleazar and Uzzi and Jehohanan and Malchijah and Elam and Ezer. And the makers of melody made their voices loud, with Jezrahiah their overseer.

٤٢ وَمَعْسِيَا وَشَمَعْيَا وَأَلْعَازَارُ وَعُزِّي وَيَهُوحَانَانُ وَمَلْكِيَّا وَعِيلَامُ وعَازَرُ، وَغَنَّى ٱلْمُغَنُّونَ وَيِزْرَحْيَا ٱلْوَكِيلُ.

43 And on that day they made great offerings and were glad; for God had made them glad with great joy; and the women and the children were glad with them: so that the joy of Jerusalem came to the ears of those who were far off.

٤٣ وَذَبَحُوا فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ ذَبَائِحَ عَظِيمَةً وَفَرِحُوا، لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ أَفْرَحَهُمْ فَرَحًا عَظِيمًا. وَفَرِحَ ٱلْأَوْلَادُ وَٱلنِّسَاءُ أَيْضًا، وَسُمِعَ فَرَحُ أُورُشَلِيمَ عَنْ بُعْدٍ.

44 And on that day certain men were put over the rooms where the things which had been given were stored, for the lifted offerings and the first-fruits and the tenths, and to take into them the amounts, from the fields of every town, fixed by the law for the priests and the Levites: for Judah was glad on account of the priests and the Levites who were in their places.

٤٤ وَتَوَكَّلَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ أُنَاسٌ عَلَى ٱلْمَخَادِعِ لِلْخَزَائِنِ وَٱلرَّفَائِعِ وَٱلْأَوَائِلِ وَٱلْأَعْشَارِ، لِيَجْمَعُوا فِيهَا مِنْ حُقُولِ ٱلْمُدُنِ أَنْصِبَةَ ٱلشَّرِيعَةِ لِلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱللَّاَوِيِّينَ، لِأَنَّ يَهُوذَا فَرِحَ بِٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱللَّاَوِيِّينَ ٱلْوَاقِفِينَ

45 And they kept the watch of their God, and were responsible for making things clean, and so did the music-makers and the door-keepers, as it was ordered by David and Solomon his son.

٤٥ حَارِسِينَ حِرَاسَةَ إِلَهِهِمْ وَحِرَاسَةَ ٱلتَّطْهِيرِ. وَكَانَ ٱلْمُغَنُّونَ وَٱلْبَوَّابُونَ حَسَبَ وَصِيَّةِ دَاوُدَ وَسُلَيْمَانَ ٱبْنِهِ.

46 For in the days of David and Asaph in the past, there was a master of the music, and songs of blessing and praise to God.

٤٦ لِأَنَّهُ فِي أَيَّامِ دَاوُدَ وَآسَافَ مُنْذُ ٱلْقَدِيمِ كَانَ رُؤُوسُ مُغَنِّينَ وَغِنَاءُ تَسْبِيحٍ وَتَحْمِيدٍ لِلهِ.

47 And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel and in the days of Nehemiah gave what was needed by the music-makers and the door-keepers day by day: and they made the offerings holy for the Levites; and the Levites did the same for the sons of Aaron.

٤٧ وَكَانَ كُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي أَيَّامِ زَرُبَّابِلَ وَأَيَّامِ نَحَمْيَا يُؤَدُّونَ أَنْصِبَةَ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ وَٱلْبَوَّابِينَ أَمْرَ كُلِّ يَوْمٍ فِي يَوْمِهِ، وَكَانُوا يُقَدِّسُونَ لِلَّاوِيِّينَ، وَكَانَ ٱللَّاوِيُّونَ يُقَدِّسُونَ لِبَنِي هَارُونَ.
