< Nehemiah 12 >
1 Now these [are] the priests and the Levites that went up with Zorobabel the son of Salathiel and Jesus: Saraia, Jeremia, Esdra,
καὶ οὗτοι οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ οἱ Λευῖται οἱ ἀναβαίνοντες μετὰ Ζοροβαβελ υἱοῦ Σαλαθιηλ καὶ Ἰησοῦ Σαραια Ιερμια Εσδρα
7 These [were] the chiefs of the priests, and their brethren in the days of Jesus.
οὗτοι ἄρχοντες τῶν ἱερέων καὶ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτῶν ἐν ἡμέραις Ἰησοῦ
8 And the Levites [were], Jesus, Banui, Cadmiel, Sarabia, Jodae, Matthania: he [was] over the bands,
καὶ οἱ Λευῖται Ιησου Βανουι Καδμιηλ Σαραβια Ιουδα Μαχανια ἐπὶ τῶν χειρῶν αὐτὸς καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ
9 and his brethren [were appointed] to the daily courses.
εἰς τὰς ἐφημερίας
10 And Jesus begot Joakim, and Joakim begot Eliasib, and Eliasib [begot] Jodae,
καὶ Ἰησοῦς ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ιωακιμ καὶ Ιωακιμ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ελιασιβ καὶ Ελιασιβ τὸν Ιωδαε
11 and Jodae begot Jonathan, and Jonathan begot Jadu.
καὶ Ιωδαε ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ιωναθαν καὶ Ιωναθαν ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ιαδου
12 And in the days of Joakim, his brethren the priests and the heads of families [were, belonging] to Saraia, Amaria; to Jeremia, Anania;
καὶ ἐν ἡμέραις Ιωακιμ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες τῶν πατριῶν τῷ Σαραια Μαραια τῷ Ιερμια Ανανια
13 to Esdra, Mesulam; to Amaria, Joanan;
τῷ Εσδρα Μεσουλαμ τῷ Αμαρια Ιωαναν
14 to Amaluch, Jonathan; to Sechenia, Joseph;
τῷ Μαλουχ Ιωναθαν τῷ Σεχενια Ιωσηφ
15 to Are, Mannas; to Marioth, Elcai;
τῷ Αρεμ Αδνας τῷ Μαριωθ Ελκαι
16 to Adadai, Zacharia; to Ganathoth, Mesolam;
τῷ Αδδαι Ζαχαριας τῷ Γαναθων Μοσολλαμ
17 to Abia, Zechri; to Miamin, Maadai; to Pheleti, [one];
τῷ Αβια Ζεχρι τῷ Βενιαμιν ἐν καιροῖς τῷ Φελητι
18 to Balgas, Samue; to Semia, Jonathan;
τῷ Βαλγα Σαμουε τῷ Σεμεια Ιωναθαν
19 to Joarib, Matthanai; to Edio, Ozi;
τῷ Ιωιαριβ Μαθθαναι τῷ Ιδια Οζι
20 to Salai, Callai; to Amec, Abed;
τῷ Σαλλαι Καλλαι τῷ Αμουκ Αβεδ
21 to Elkia, Asabias; to Jedeiu, Nathanael.
τῷ Ελκια Ασαβιας τῷ Ιεδεϊου Ναθαναηλ
22 The Levites in the days of Eliasib, Joada, and Joa, and Joanan, and Idua, [were] recorded heads of families: also the priests, in the reign of Darius the Persian.
οἱ Λευῖται ἐν ἡμέραις Ελιασιβ Ιωαδα καὶ Ιωαναν καὶ Ιδουα γεγραμμένοι ἄρχοντες πατριῶν καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς ἐν βασιλείᾳ Δαρείου τοῦ Πέρσου
23 And the sons of Levi, heads of families, [were] written in the book of the chronicles, even to the days of Joanan son of Elisue.
υἱοὶ Λευι ἄρχοντες τῶν πατριῶν γεγραμμένοι ἐπὶ βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν καὶ ἕως ἡμερῶν Ιωαναν υἱοῦ Ελισουβ
24 And the heads of the Levites [were] Asabia, and Sarabia, and Jesu: and the sons of Cadmiel, and their brethren over against them, were to sing hymns of praise, according to the commandment of David the man of God, course by course.
καὶ ἄρχοντες τῶν Λευιτῶν Ασαβια καὶ Σαραβια καὶ Ιησου καὶ υἱοὶ Καδμιηλ καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτῶν κατεναντίον αὐτῶν εἰς ὑμνεῖν καὶ αἰνεῖν ἐν ἐντολῇ Δαυιδ ἀνθρώπου τοῦ θεοῦ ἐφημερία πρὸς ἐφημερίαν
25 When I gathered the porters,
ἐν τῷ συναγαγεῖν με τοὺς πυλωροὺς
26 [it was] in the days of Joakim son of Jesus, son of Josedec, and in the days of Neemia: and Esdras the priest [was] scribe.
ἐν ἡμέραις Ιωακιμ υἱοῦ Ἰησοῦ υἱοῦ Ιωσεδεκ καὶ ἐν ἡμέραις Νεεμια καὶ Εσδρας ὁ ἱερεὺς ὁ γραμματεύς
27 And at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought the Levites in their places, to bring them to Jerusalem, to keep a feast of dedication and gladness with thanksgiving, and they sounded cymbals with songs, and [had] lutes and harps.
καὶ ἐν ἐγκαινίοις τείχους Ιερουσαλημ ἐζήτησαν τοὺς Λευίτας ἐν τοῖς τόποις αὐτῶν τοῦ ἐνέγκαι αὐτοὺς εἰς Ιερουσαλημ ποιῆσαι ἐγκαίνια καὶ εὐφροσύνην ἐν θωδαθα καὶ ἐν ᾠδαῖς κυμβαλίζοντες καὶ ψαλτήρια καὶ κινύραι
28 And the sons of the singers were assembled both from the neighbourhood round about to Jerusalem, and from the villages,
καὶ συνήχθησαν οἱ υἱοὶ τῶν ᾀδόντων καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς περιχώρου κυκλόθεν εἰς Ιερουσαλημ καὶ ἀπὸ ἐπαύλεων
29 and from the country: for the singers built themselves villages by Jerusalem.
καὶ ἀπὸ ἀγρῶν ὅτι ἐπαύλεις ᾠκοδόμησαν ἑαυτοῖς οἱ ᾄδοντες ἐν Ιερουσαλημ
30 And the priests and the Levites purified themselves, and they purified the people, and the porters, and the wall.
καὶ ἐκαθαρίσθησαν οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ οἱ Λευῖται καὶ ἐκαθάρισαν τὸν λαὸν καὶ τοὺς πυλωροὺς καὶ τὸ τεῖχος
31 And they brought up the princes of Juda on the wall, and they appointed two great [companies] for thanksgiving, and they passed on the right hand on the wall of the dung-gate.
καὶ ἀνήνεγκα τοὺς ἄρχοντας Ιουδα ἐπάνω τοῦ τείχους καὶ ἔστησα δύο περὶ αἰνέσεως μεγάλους καὶ διῆλθον ἐκ δεξιῶν ἐπάνω τοῦ τείχους τῆς κοπρίας
32 And after them went Osaia, and half the princes of Juda,
καὶ ἐπορεύθη ὀπίσω αὐτῶν Ωσαια καὶ ἥμισυ ἀρχόντων Ιουδα
33 and Azarias, and Esdras, and Mesollam,
καὶ Αζαριας Εσδρας καὶ Μεσουλαμ
34 and Juda, and Benjamin, and Samaias and Jeremia.
Ιουδα καὶ Βενιαμιν καὶ Σαμαια καὶ Ιερμια
35 And [some] of the sons of the priest with trumpets, Zacharias son of Jonathan, son of Samaias, son of Matthania, son of Michaia, son of Zacchur, son of Asaph:
καὶ ἀπὸ υἱῶν τῶν ἱερέων ἐν σάλπιγξιν Ζαχαριας υἱὸς Ιωναθαν υἱὸς Σαμαια υἱὸς Μαθανια υἱὸς Μιχαια υἱὸς Ζακχουρ υἱὸς Ασαφ
36 and his brethren, Samaia, and Oziel, Gelol, Jama, Aia, Nathanael, and Juda, Anani, to praise with the hymns of David the man of God; and Esdras the scribe [was] before them,
καὶ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ Σαμαια καὶ Οζιηλ αἰνεῖν ἐν ᾠδαῖς Δαυιδ ἀνθρώπου τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ Εσδρας ὁ γραμματεὺς ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῶν
37 at the gate, to praise before them, and they went up by the steps of the city of David, in the ascent of the wall, above the house of David, even to the water-gate
ἐπὶ πύλης τοῦ αιν κατέναντι αὐτῶν ἀνέβησαν ἐπὶ κλίμακας πόλεως Δαυιδ ἐν ἀναβάσει τοῦ τείχους ἐπάνωθεν τοῦ οἴκου Δαυιδ καὶ ἕως πύλης τοῦ ὕδατος κατὰ ἀνατολάς
καὶ περὶ αἰνέσεως ἡ δευτέρα ἐπορεύετο συναντῶσα αὐτοῖς καὶ ἐγὼ ὀπίσω αὐτῆς καὶ τὸ ἥμισυ τοῦ λαοῦ ἐπάνω τοῦ τείχους ὑπεράνω τοῦ πύργου τῶν θεννουριμ καὶ ἕως τοῦ τείχους τοῦ πλατέος
39 of Ephraim, and to the fish-gate, and by the tower of Anameel, and as far as the sheep-gate.
καὶ ὑπεράνω τῆς πύλης Εφραιμ καὶ ἐπὶ πύλην τῆς ισανα καὶ ἐπὶ πύλην τὴν ἰχθυηρὰν καὶ πύργῳ Ανανεηλ καὶ ἕως πύλης τῆς προβατικῆς καὶ ἔστησαν ἐν πύλῃ τῆς φυλακῆς
καὶ ἔστησαν αἱ δύο τῆς αἰνέσεως ἐν οἴκῳ τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ ἐγὼ καὶ τὸ ἥμισυ τῶν στρατηγῶν μετ’ ἐμοῦ
καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς Ελιακιμ Μαασιας Βενιαμιν Μιχαιας Ελιωηναι Ζαχαριας Ανανιας ἐν σάλπιγξιν
42 And the singers were heard, and were numbered.
καὶ Μαασιας καὶ Σεμειας καὶ Ελεαζαρ καὶ Οζι καὶ Ιωαναν καὶ Μελχιας καὶ Αιλαμ καὶ Εζουρ καὶ ἠκούσθησαν οἱ ᾄδοντες καὶ ἐπεσκέπησαν
43 And in that day they offered great sacrifices, and rejoiced; for God had made them very joyful: and their wives and their children rejoiced: and the joy in Jerusalem was heard from afar off.
καὶ ἔθυσαν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ θυσιάσματα μεγάλα καὶ ηὐφράνθησαν ὅτι ὁ θεὸς ηὔφρανεν αὐτοὺς μεγάλως καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες αὐτῶν καὶ τὰ τέκνα αὐτῶν ηὐφράνθησαν καὶ ἠκούσθη ἡ εὐφροσύνη ἐν Ιερουσαλημ ἀπὸ μακρόθεν
44 And in that day they appointed men over the treasuries, for the treasures, the first fruits, and the tithes, and [for] the chiefs of the cities who were assembled amongst them, [to furnish] portions for the priests and Levites: for [there was] joy in Juda over the priests and over the Levites that waited.
καὶ κατέστησαν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἄνδρας ἐπὶ τῶν γαζοφυλακίων τοῖς θησαυροῖς ταῖς ἀπαρχαῖς καὶ ταῖς δεκάταις καὶ τοῖς συνηγμένοις ἐν αὐτοῖς ἄρχουσιν τῶν πόλεων μερίδας τοῖς ἱερεῦσι καὶ τοῖς Λευίταις ὅτι εὐφροσύνη ἦν ἐν Ιουδα ἐπὶ τοὺς ἱερεῖς καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς Λευίτας τοὺς ἑστῶτας
45 And they kept the charges of their God, and the charges of the purification, and [ordered] the singers and the porters, according to the commandments of David and his son Solomon.
καὶ ἐφύλαξαν φυλακὰς θεοῦ αὐτῶν καὶ φυλακὰς τοῦ καθαρισμοῦ καὶ τοὺς ᾄδοντας καὶ τοὺς πυλωροὺς ὡς ἐντολαὶ Δαυιδ καὶ Σαλωμων υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ
46 For in the days of David Asaph was originally first of the singers, and [they sang] hymns and praise to God.
ὅτι ἐν ἡμέραις Δαυιδ Ασαφ ἀπ’ ἀρχῆς πρῶτος τῶν ᾀδόντων καὶ ὕμνον καὶ αἴνεσιν τῷ θεῷ
47 And all Israel in the days of Zorobabel, and in the days of Neemias, gave the portions of the singers and the porters, a daily rate: and consecrated them to the Levites: and the Levites consecrated them to the sons of Aaron.
καὶ πᾶς Ισραηλ ἐν ἡμέραις Ζοροβαβελ διδόντες μερίδας τῶν ᾀδόντων καὶ τῶν πυλωρῶν λόγον ἡμέρας ἐν ἡμέρᾳ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἁγιάζοντες τοῖς Λευίταις καὶ οἱ Λευῖται ἁγιάζοντες τοῖς υἱοῖς Ααρων
