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,
Hi sunt autem Sacerdotes et Levitæ, qui ascenderunt cum Zorobabel filio Salathiel, et Iosue: Saraia, Ieremias, Esdras,
2 Amaria, Maluch,
Amaria, Melluch, Hattus,
3 Sechenia.
Sebenias, Rheum, Merimuth,
Addo, Genthon, Abia,
Miamin, Madia, Belga,
Semeia, et Ioiarib, Idaia, Sellum, Amoc, Helcias,
7 These [were] the chiefs of the priests, and their brethren in the days of Jesus.
Idaia. Isti principes Sacerdotum, et fratres eorum in diebus Iosue.
8 And the Levites [were], Jesus, Banui, Cadmiel, Sarabia, Jodae, Matthania: he [was] over the bands,
Porro Levitæ, Iesua, Bennui, Cedmihel, Sarebia, Iuda, Mathanias, super hymnos ipsi et fratres eorum:
9 and his brethren [were appointed] to the daily courses.
et Becbecia atque Hanni, et fratres eorum unusquisque in officio suo.
10 And Jesus begot Joakim, and Joakim begot Eliasib, and Eliasib [begot] Jodae,
Iosue autem genuit Ioacim, et Ioacim genuit Eliasib, et Eliasib genuit Ioiada,
11 and Jodae begot Jonathan, and Jonathan begot Jadu.
et Ioiada genuit Ionathan, et Ionathan genuit Ieddoa.
12 And in the days of Joakim, his brethren the priests and the heads of families [were, belonging] to Saraia, Amaria; to Jeremia, Anania;
In diebus autem Ioacim erant Sacerdotes et principes familiarum: Saraiæ, Maraia: Ieremiæ, Hanania:
13 to Esdra, Mesulam; to Amaria, Joanan;
Esdræ, Mosollam: Amariæ, Iohanan:
14 to Amaluch, Jonathan; to Sechenia, Joseph;
Milicho, Ionathan, Sebeniæ, Ioseph:
15 to Are, Mannas; to Marioth, Elcai;
Haram, Edna: Maraioth, Helci:
16 to Adadai, Zacharia; to Ganathoth, Mesolam;
Adaiæ, Zacharia, Genthon, Mosollam:
17 to Abia, Zechri; to Miamin, Maadai; to Pheleti, [one];
Abiæ, Zechri, Miamin et Moadiæ, Phelti:
18 to Balgas, Samue; to Semia, Jonathan;
Belgæ, Sammua: Semaiæ, Ionathan,
19 to Joarib, Matthanai; to Edio, Ozi;

20 to Salai, Callai; to Amec, Abed;
Sellai, Celai: Amoc, Heber:
21 to Elkia, Asabias; to Jedeiu, Nathanael.
Helciæ, Hasebia: Idaiæ, Nathanael.
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.
Levitæ in diebus Eliasib, et Ioiada, et Iohanan, et Ieddoa scripti principes familiarum, et Sacerdotes in regno Darii Persæ.
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.
Filii Levi principes familiarum, scripti in Libro verborum dierum, et usque ad dies Ionathan, filii Eliasib.
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.
Et principes Levitarum, Hasebia, Serebia, et Iosue filius Cedmihel: et fratres eorum per vices suas, ut laudarent et confiterentur iuxta præceptum David viri Dei, et observarent æque per ordinem.
25 When I gathered the porters,
Mathania, et Becbecia, Obedia, Mosollam, Telmon, Accub custodes portarum et vestibulorum ante portas.
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.
Hi in diebus Ioacim filii Iosue, filii Iosedec, et in diebus Nehemiæ ducis, et Esdræ sacerdotis scribæque.
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.
In dedicatione autem muri Ierusalem requisierunt Levitas de omnibus locis suis ut adducerent eos in Ierusalem, et facerent dedicationem et lætitiam in actione gratiarum, et cantico, et in cymbalis, psalteriis, et citharis.
28 And the sons of the singers were assembled both from the neighbourhood round about to Jerusalem, and from the villages,
Congregati sunt autem filii cantorum de campestribus circa Ierusalem, et de villis Nethuphathi,
29 and from the country: for the singers built themselves villages by Jerusalem.
et de domo Galgal, et de regionibus Geba et Azmaveth: quoniam villas ædificaverunt sibi cantores in circuitu Ierusalem.
30 And the priests and the Levites purified themselves, and they purified the people, and the porters, and the wall.
Et mundati sunt Sacerdotes et Levitæ, et mundaverunt populum, et portas, et murum.
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.
Ascendere autem feci principes Iuda super murum, et statui duos magnos choros laudantium. Et ierunt ad dexteram super murum ad portam sterquilinii.
32 And after them went Osaia, and half the princes of Juda,
Et ivit post eos Osaias, et media pars principum Iuda,
33 and Azarias, and Esdras, and Mesollam,
et Azarias, Esdras, et Mosollam,
34 and Juda, and Benjamin, and Samaias and Jeremia.
Iudas, et Beniamin, et Semeia, et Ieremias.
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:
Et de filiis sacerdotum in tubis, Zacharias filius Ionathan, filius Semeiæ, filius Mathaniæ, filius Michaiæ, filius Zechur, filius Asaph,
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,
et fratres eius Semeia, et Azareel, Malalai, Galalai, Maai, Nathanael, et Iudas, et Hanani, in vasis cantici David viri Dei: et Esdras scriba ante eos in porta Fontis.
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
Et contra eos ascenderunt in gradibus civitatis David in ascensu muri super domum David, et usque ad portam Aquarum ad Orientem.
Et chorus secundus gratias referentium ibat ex adverso, et ego post eum, et media pars populi super murum et super turrim furnorum, et usque ad murum latissimum,
39 of Ephraim, and to the fish-gate, and by the tower of Anameel, and as far as the sheep-gate.
et super portam Ephraim, et super portam antiquam, et super portam piscium et turrim Hananeel, et turrim Emath, et usque ad portam gregis: et steterunt in porta custodiæ,
steteruntque duo chori laudantium in domo Dei, et ego, et dimidia pars magistratuum mecum.
Et Sacerdotes, Eliachim, Maasia, Miamin, Michea, Elioenai, Zacharia, Hanania in tubis,
42 And the singers were heard, and were numbered.
et Maasia, et Semeia, et Eleazar, et Azzi, et Iohanan, et Melchia, et Ælam, et Ezer. Et clare cecinerunt cantores, et Iezraia præpositus:
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.
et immolaverunt in die illa victimas magnas, et lætati sunt: Deus enim lætificaverat eos lætitia magna: sed et uxores eorum et liberi gavisi sunt, et audita est lætitia Ierusalem procul.
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.
Recensuerunt quoque in die illa viros super gazophylacia thesauri ad libamina, et ad primitias, et ad decimas, ut introferrent per eos principes civitatis in decore gratiarum actionis, Sacerdotes et Levitas: quia lætificatus est Iuda in Sacerdotibus et Levitis astantibus.
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.
Et custodierunt observationem Dei sui, et observationem expiationis, et cantores, et ianitores iuxta præceptum David, et Salomonis filii eius,
46 For in the days of David Asaph was originally first of the singers, and [they sang] hymns 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 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.
Et omnis Israel, in diebus Zorobabel, et in diebus Nehemiæ dabant partes cantoribus et ianitoribus per dies singulos, et sanctificabant Levitas, et Levitæ sanctificabant filios Aaron.
