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

7 Sallu, Amok, Hilkijah, Jedaiah. These were the chief of the priests and of their brethren 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, [who was] over the thanksgiving, he and his brethren;

Porro Levitæ, Iesua, Bennui, Cedmihel, Sarebia, Iuda, Mathanias, super hymnos ipsi et fratres eorum:

9 and Bakbukiah and Unni, their brethren, were over against them as watches.

et Becbecia atque Hanni, et fratres eorum unusquisque in officio suo.

10 And Jeshua begot Joiakim, and Joiakim begot Eliashib, and Eliashib begot Joiada,

Iosue autem genuit Ioacim, et Ioacim genuit Eliasib, et Eliasib genuit Ioiada,

11 and Joiada begot Jonathan, and Jonathan begot Jaddua.

et Ioiada genuit Ionathan, et Ionathan genuit Ieddoa.

12 And in the days of Joiakim were priests, chief fathers: of Seraiah, Meraiah; of Jeremiah, Hananiah;

In diebus autem Ioacim erant Sacerdotes et principes familiarum: Saraiæ, Maraia: Ieremiæ, Hanania:

13 of Ezra, Meshullam; of Amariah, Jehohanan;

Esdræ, Mosollam: Amariæ, Iohanan:

14 of Melicu, Jonathan; of Shebaniah, Joseph;

Milicho, Ionathan, Sebeniæ, Ioseph:

15 of Harim, Adna; of Meraioth, Helkai;

Haram, Edna: Maraioth, Helci:

16 of Iddo, Zechariah; of Ginnethon, Meshullam;

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

Ioiarib, Mathanai: Iodaiæ, Azzi:

20 of Sallai, Kallai; of Amok, Eber;

Sellai, Celai: Amoc, Heber:

21 of Hilkijah, Hashabiah; of Jedaiah, Nethaneel.

Helciæ, Hasebia: Idaiæ, Nathanael.

22 of the Levites, the chief fathers were recorded in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, and Johanan, and Jaddua, and the priests, until 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 The children of Levi, the chief fathers, were recorded in the book of the chronicles, even until 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 chief Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua the son of Kadmiel, with their brethren over against them, to praise [and] to give thanks, according to the commandment of David the man of God, ward over against ward.

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 Mattaniah and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub, were doorkeepers keeping the ward at the storehouses of the gates.

Mathania, et Becbecia, Obedia, Mosollam, Telmon, 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, the 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 out of all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem, to hold the dedication with gladness, both with thanksgivings, and with singing, [with] cymbals, 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 children of the singers were assembled, both from the plain [of Jordan] round about Jerusalem, and from the villages of the Netophathites,

Congregati sunt autem filii cantorum de campestribus circa Ierusalem, et de villis Nethuphathi,

29 also from Beth-Gilgal, and out of the fields of Geba and Azmaveth; for the singers had built themselves hamlets round about 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 gates and the wall.

Et mundati sunt Sacerdotes et Levitæ, et mundaverunt populum, et portas, et murum.

31 And I brought up the princes of Judah upon the wall, and appointed two great choirs and processions, on the right hand upon the wall towards 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 Hoshaiah, and half of the princes of Judah,

Et ivit post eos Osaias, et media pars principum Iuda,

33 and Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam,

et Azarias, Esdras, et Mosollam,

34 Judah and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah,

Iudas, et Beniamin, et Semeia, et Ieremias.

35 and [certain] of the priests' sons with trumpets: 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, Zacharias filius Ionathan, filius Semeiæ, filius Mathaniæ, filius Michaiæ, filius Zechur, filius Asaph,

36 and his brethren, Shemaiah, and Azareel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethaneel, and Judah, Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God; and Ezra the scribe 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 And at the fountain-gate, and over against them, they went up by the stairs of the city of David, at the ascent of the wall, above the house of David, even to the water-gate eastward.

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 went in the opposite direction upon the wall, and I after them, and the half of the people, from beyond the tower of the furnaces even to the broad wall;

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 and from above the gate of Ephraim, and above the gate of the old [wall], and above the fish-gate, and the tower of Hananeel, and the tower of Meah, even to the sheep-gate; and they stood still in the prison-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,

40 And both choirs stood in the house of God, and I, and the half of the rulers 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, Hananiah, with trumpets;

Et Sacerdotes, Eliachim, Maasia, Miamin, Michea, Elioenai, Zacharia, Hanania in tubis,

42 and Maaseiah, and Shemaiah, and Eleazar, and Uzzi, and Jehohanan, and Malchijah, and Elam, and Ezer. And the singers sang loud; and Jizrahiah was their overseer.

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 that day they offered great sacrifices, and rejoiced: for God had made them rejoice with great joy; and also the women and the children rejoiced. And the joy of Jerusalem was heard even 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 at that time men were appointed over the chambers of the treasures for the heave-offerings, for the first-fruits, and for the tithes, to gather into them, out of the fields of the cities, the portions assigned by the law for the priests and the Levites; for Judah rejoiced 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, with the singers and the doorkeepers, they kept the ward of their God, and the ward of the purification, according to the commandment of David [and] of Solomon his son.

Et custodierunt observationem Dei sui, et observationem expiationis, et cantores, et ianitores iuxta præceptum David, et Salomonis filii eius,

46 For of old, in the days of David and Asaph, there were the chiefs of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgivings 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 the portions of the singers and the doorkeepers, every day what was needed, and they consecrated things for the Levites; and the Levites consecrated for the children 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.
