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,

hii autem sacerdotes et Levitae qui ascenderunt cum Zorobabel filio Salathihel et Iosue Saraia Hieremias Ezra

4 Iddo, Ginnethoi, Abijah,

5 Mijamin, Maadiah, Bilgah,

Miamin Madia Belga

6 Shemaiah, and Joiarib, Jedaiah,

Semaia et Ioarib Idaia Sellum Amoc Elceia

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

Idaia isti principes sacerdotum et fratres eorum in diebus Iosue

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

porro Levitae Iesua Bennui Cedmihel Sarabia Iuda Mathanias super hymnos ipsi et fratres eorum

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

et Becbecia atque et Hanni fratres eorum unusquisque in officio suo

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

Hiesue autem genuit Ioachim et Ioachim genuit Eliasib et Eliasib genuit Ioiada

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

et Ioiada genuit Ionathan et Ionathan genuit Ieddoa

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

in diebus autem Ioachim erant sacerdotes principes familiarum Saraiae Amaria Hieremiae Anania

13 Of Ezra, Meshullam; of Amariah, Jehohanan;

Ezrae Mosollam Amariae Iohanan

14 Of Malluchi, Jonathan; of Shebaniah, Joseph;

Milico Ionathan Sebeniae Ioseph

15 Of Harim, Adna; of Meraioth, Helkai;

Arem Edna Maraioth Elci

16 Of Iddo, Zechariah; of Ginnethon, Meshullam;

Addaiae Zaccharia Genthon Mosollam

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

Abiae Zecheri Miamin et Moadiae Felti

18 Of Bilgah, Shammua; of Shemaiah, Jehonathan;

Belgae Sammua Semaiae Ionathan

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

Ioiarib Matthanai Iadaiae Azzi

20 Of Sallai, Kallai; of Amok, Eber;

Sellaiae Celai Amoc Eber

21 Of Hilkiah, Hashabiah; of Jedaiah, Nethanel.

Elciae Asebia Idaiae Nathanahel

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.

Levitae in diebus Eliasib et Ioiada et Ionan et Ieddoa scripti principes familiarum et sacerdotes in regno Darii Persae

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.

filii Levi principes familiarum scripti in libro verborum dierum et usque ad dies Ionathan filii Eliasib

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.

et principes Levitarum Asebia Serebia et Iesue filius Cedmihel et fratres eorum per vices suas ut laudarent et confiterentur iuxta praeceptum David viri Dei et observarent aeque per ordinem

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

Matthania et Becbecia Obedia Mosollam Thelmon Accub custodes portarum et vestibulorum ante portas

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.

hii in diebus Ioachim filii Iesue filii Iosedech et in diebus Neemiae ducis et Ezrae sacerdotis scribaeque

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.

in dedicatione autem muri Hierusalem requisierunt Levitas de omnibus locis suis ut adducerent eos in Hierusalem et facerent dedicationem et laetitiam in actione gratiarum et in cantico in cymbalis psalteriis et citharis

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

congregati sunt ergo filii cantorum et de campestribus circa Hierusalem et de villis Netuphati

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.

et de domo Galgal et de regionibus Geba et Azmaveth quoniam villas aedificaverunt sibi cantores in circuitu Hierusalem

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

et mundati sunt sacerdotes et Levitae et mundaverunt populum et portas et murum

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;

ascendere autem feci principes Iuda super murum et statui duos choros laudantium magnos et ierunt ad dexteram super murum ad portam Sterquilinii

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

et ivit post eos Osaias et media pars principum Iuda

33 And Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam,

et Azarias Ezras et Mosollam

34 Judah and Benjamin and Shemaiah and Jeremiah,

Iuda et Beniamin et Semeia et Hieremia

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,

et de filiis sacerdotum in tubis Zaccharias filius Ionathan filius Semeiae filius Mathaniae filius Michaiae filius Zecchur filius Asaph

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;

et fratres eius Semeia et Azarel Malalai Galalai Maai Nathanel et Iuda et Anani in vasis cantici David viri Dei et Ezras scriba ante eos in porta Fontis

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.

et contra eos ascenderunt in gradibus civitatis David in ascensu muri super domum David et usque ad portam Aquarum ad orientem

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;

et chorus secundus gratias referentium ibat ex adverso et ego post eum et media pars populi super murum et super turrem Furnorum et usque ad murum latissimum

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.

et super portam Ephraim et super portam Antiquam et super portam Piscium et turrem Ananehel et turrem Ema et usque ad portam Gregis et steterunt in porta Custodiae

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:

steteruntque duo chori laudantium in domo Dei et ego et dimidia pars magistratuum mecum

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

et sacerdotes Eliachim Maasia Miniamin Michea Elioenai Zaccharia Anania in tubis

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.

et Maasia et Semea et Eleazar et Azi et Iohanan et Melchia et Elam et Ezer et clare cecinerunt cantores et Iezraia praepositus

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.

et immolaverunt in die illa victimas magnas et laetati sunt Deus enim laetificaverat eos laetitia magna sed et uxores eorum et liberi gavisi sunt et audita est laetitia Hierusalem procul

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.

recensuerunt quoque in die illa viros super gazofilacia thesauri ad libamina et ad primitias et ad decimas ut introferrent per eos principes civitatis in decore gratiarum actionis sacerdotes et Levitas quia laetatus est Iuda in sacerdotibus et Levitis adstantibus

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.

et custodierunt observationem Dei sui et observationem expiationis et cantores et ianitores iuxta praeceptum David et Salomonis filii eius

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.

quia in diebus David et Asaph ab exordio erant principes constituti cantorum in carmine laudantium et confitentium Deo

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.

et omnis Israhel in diebus Zorobabel et in diebus Neemiae dabat partes cantoribus et ianitoribus per dies singulos et sanctificabant Levitas et Levitae sanctificabant filios Aaron
