Nehemiah 12

1 Now these are the priests and the Levites who ascended 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

2 Amariah, Malluch, Hattush,

Amaria Melluch Attus

3 Shecaniah, Rehum, Meremoth,

Sechenia Reum Meremuth

4 Iddo, Ginnethon, Abijah,

Addo Genthon Abia

5 Mijamin, Maadiah, Bilgah,

Miamin Madia Belga

6 Shemaiah, and Joiarib, Jedaiah, Sallu, Amok, Hilkiah, Jedaiah.

Semaia et Ioarib Idaia Sellum Amoc Elceia

7 These were the leaders 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, Mattaniah, they and their brothers were over the hymns,

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

9 with Bakbukiah, as well as Hannai, and their brothers, each one in his office.

et Becbecia atque et Hanni fratres eorum unusquisque in officio suo

10 Now Jeshua conceived Joiakim, and Joiakim conceived Eliashib, and Eliashib conceived Joiada,

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

11 and Joiada conceived Jonathan, and Jonathan conceived Jaddua.

et Ioiada genuit Ionathan et Ionathan genuit Ieddoa

12 And in the days of Joiakim, the priests and the leaders of the families were: 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 Maluchi, Jonathan; of Shebaniah, Joseph;

Milico Ionathan Sebeniae Ioseph

15 of Harim, Adna; of Meraioth, Helkai;

Arem Edna Maraioth Elci

16 of Adaiah, Zechariah; of Ginnethon, Meshullam;

Addaiae Zaccharia Genthon Mosollam

17 of Abijah, Zichri; of Mijamin and Moadiah, Piltai;

Abiae Zecheri Miamin et Moadiae Felti

18 of Bilgah, Shammua; of Shemaiah, Jehonathan;

Belgae Sammua Semaiae Ionathan

19 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, and Joiada, and Johanan, and Jaddua, and the priests, were written according to the leaders of the families, during the reign of Darius the Persian.

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

23 The sons of Levi, according to the leaders of the families, were written in the book of the words of those days, even to 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 Now the leaders of the Levites were Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua, the son of Kadmiel, and their brothers, in their turns, so that they would praise and confess, according to the precept of David, the man of God. And they served equally and in order.

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 keepers of the gates and of the vestibules before the gates.

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 governor, and of Ezra, the priest and scribe.

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

27 Now at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem, they sought the Levites from all their places, so that they might bring them to Jerusalem, and so that they might keep the dedication, and rejoice with thanksgiving, and with singing, and with cymbals, psalteries, and lyres.

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 Now the sons of the singing men were gathered from the plains surrounding Jerusalem, and from the villages of Netophati,

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

29 and from the house of Gilgal, and from the regions of Geba and Azmaveth. For the singing men had built villages for themselves around 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 were cleansed, and they cleansed the people, and the gates, and the wall.

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

31 Then I caused the leaders of Judah to ascend the wall, and I appointed two great choirs to give praise. And they went to the right upon the wall, toward the dung gate.

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 one half part of the leadership 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 some of the sons of the priests went forth with trumpets: Zachariah, 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, and Hanani, went forth with the canticles of David, the man of God. And Ezra, the scribe, was before them at the fountain gate.

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 opposite them, they ascended by the steps of the city of David, at the ascent of the wall above the house of David, and as far as the water gate 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 second choir of those who gave thanks went forth on the opposite side, and I went after them, and one half part of the people were upon the wall, and upon the tower of the furnaces, as far as the widest 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 above the gate of Ephraim, and above the ancient gate, and above the fish gate, and the tower of Hananel, and the tower of Hamath, and as far as the flock gate. And they stood still at the watch gate.

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 And the two choirs of those who gave praise stood still at the house of God, with myself and one half part of the magistrates who were with me.

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

41 And the priests, Eliakim, Maaseiah, Mijamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, Hananiah, went forth with trumpets,

et sacerdotes Eliachim Maasia Miniamin Michea Elioenai Zaccharia Anania in tubis

42 with Maaseiah, and Shemaiah, and Eleazar, and Uzzi, and Jehohanan, and Malchijah, and Elam, and Ezer. And the singers were singing clearly, and Jezrahiah was their foremost leader.

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 immolated great sacrifices, and they rejoiced. For God had caused them to rejoice with great joy. And their wives and children also were glad. And the rejoicing of Jerusalem was heard from far away.

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 On that day also, they enrolled men over the storehouses of the treasury, for the libations, and for the first-fruits, and for the tithes, so that the leaders of the city might bring these in, by them, with proper thanksgiving, for the priests and the Levites. For Judah was rejoicing in the priests and the Levites who were assisting.

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 vigil of their God, and the vigil of expiation, with the singing men and the gatekeepers, in accord with the precept of David, and of 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, from the beginning, there were leaders appointed over the singers, to give praise in verses, and to confess to God.

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

47 And all of Israel, in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah, gave portions to the singing men and to the gatekeepers, for each day, and they sanctified the Levites, and the Levites sanctified 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
