Ezra 8
1 This is a list of the family leaders and genealogical records of those who came back with me from Babylon during the reign of King Artaxerxes:
καὶ οὗτοι οἱ ἄρχοντες πατριῶν αὐτῶν οἱ ὁδηγοὶ ἀναβαίνοντες μετ’ ἐμοῦ ἐν βασιλείᾳ Αρθασασθα τοῦ βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος
2 From the sons of Phinehas, Gershom. From the sons of Ithamar, Daniel. From the sons of David, Hattush,
ἀπὸ υἱῶν Φινεες Γηρσωμ ἀπὸ υἱῶν Ιθαμαρ Δανιηλ ἀπὸ υἱῶν Δαυιδ Ατους
3 son of Shecaniah. From the sons of Parosh, Zechariah, and with him 150 men were registered.
ἀπὸ υἱῶν Σαχανια ἀπὸ υἱῶν Φορος Ζαχαριας καὶ μετ’ αὐτοῦ τὸ σύστρεμμα ἑκατὸν καὶ πεντήκοντα
4 From the sons of Pahath-moab, Eliehoenai, son of Zerahiah, and with him 200 men.
ἀπὸ υἱῶν Φααθμωαβ Ελιανα υἱὸς Ζαραια καὶ μετ’ αὐτοῦ διακόσιοι τὰ ἀρσενικά
5 From the sons of Zattu, Shecaniah, son of Jahaziel, and with him 300 men.
ἀπὸ υἱῶν Ζαθοης Σεχενιας υἱὸς Αζιηλ καὶ μετ’ αὐτοῦ τριακόσιοι τὰ ἀρσενικά
6 From the sons of Adin, Ebed, son of Jonathan, and with him 50 men.
καὶ ἀπὸ υἱῶν Αδιν Ωβηθ υἱὸς Ιωναθαν καὶ μετ’ αὐτοῦ πεντήκοντα τὰ ἀρσενικά
7 From the sons of Elam, Jeshaiah, son of Athaliah, and with him 70 men.
καὶ ἀπὸ υἱῶν Ηλαμ Ιεσια υἱὸς Αθελια καὶ μετ’ αὐτοῦ ἑβδομήκοντα τὰ ἀρσενικά
8 From the sons of Shephatiah, Zebadiah, son of Michael, and with him 80 men.
καὶ ἀπὸ υἱῶν Σαφατια Ζαβδια υἱὸς Μιχαηλ καὶ μετ’ αὐτοῦ ὀγδοήκοντα τὰ ἀρσενικά
9 From the sons of Joab, Obadiah, son of Jehiel, and with him 218 men.
καὶ ἀπὸ υἱῶν Ιωαβ Αβαδια υἱὸς Ιιηλ καὶ μετ’ αὐτοῦ διακόσιοι δέκα ὀκτὼ τὰ ἀρσενικά
10 From the sons of Bani, Shelomith, son of Josiphiah, and with him 160 men.
καὶ ἀπὸ υἱῶν Βαανι Σαλιμουθ υἱὸς Ιωσεφια καὶ μετ’ αὐτοῦ ἑκατὸν ἑξήκοντα τὰ ἀρσενικά
11 From the sons of Bebai, Zechariah, son of Bebai, and with him 28 men.
καὶ ἀπὸ υἱῶν Βαβι Ζαχαρια υἱὸς Βαβι καὶ μετ’ αὐτοῦ ἑβδομήκοντα ὀκτὼ τὰ ἀρσενικά
12 From the sons of Azgad, Johanan, son of Hakkatan, and with him 110 men.
καὶ ἀπὸ υἱῶν Ασγαδ Ιωαναν υἱὸς Ακαταν καὶ μετ’ αὐτοῦ ἑκατὸν δέκα τὰ ἀρσενικά
13 From the sons of Adonikam, those who were last, their names being Eliphelet, Jeuel, and Shemaiah, and with them 60 men.
καὶ ἀπὸ υἱῶν Αδωνικαμ ἔσχατοι καὶ ταῦτα τὰ ὀνόματα αὐτῶν Αλιφαλατ Ιιηλ καὶ Σαμαια καὶ μετ’ αὐτῶν ἑξήκοντα τὰ ἀρσενικά
14 From the sons of Bigvai, Uthai and Zaccur, and with them 70 men.
καὶ ἀπὸ υἱῶν Βαγο Ουθι καὶ μετ’ αὐτοῦ ἑβδομήκοντα τὰ ἀρσενικά
15 I gathered the returning exiles together at the Ahava Canal. We camped there for three days while I reviewed who had come—the ordinary people, the priests, and the Levites. I discovered there wasn't a single Levite
καὶ συνῆξα αὐτοὺς πρὸς τὸν ποταμὸν τὸν ἐρχόμενον πρὸς τὸν Ευι καὶ παρενεβάλομεν ἐκεῖ ἡμέρας τρεῖς καὶ συνῆκα ἐν τῷ λαῷ καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἱερεῦσιν καὶ ἀπὸ υἱῶν Λευι οὐχ εὗρον ἐκεῖ
16 so I sent for Eliezer, Ariel, Shemaiah, Elnathan, Jarib, Elnathan, Nathan, Zechariah, and Meshullam, who were leaders, and for Joiarib and Elnathan, who were men with good insight.
καὶ ἀπέστειλα τῷ Ελεαζαρ τῷ Αριηλ τῷ Σαμαια καὶ τῷ Αλωναμ καὶ τῷ Ιαριβ καὶ τῷ Ελναθαν καὶ τῷ Ναθαν καὶ τῷ Ζαχαρια καὶ τῷ Μεσουλαμ ἄνδρας καὶ τῷ Ιωαριβ καὶ τῷ Ελναθαν συνίοντας
17 I told them to go to Iddo, the leader of the Temple servants at Casiphia, asking him and his relatives to send us ministers for the Temple of our God.
καὶ ἐξήνεγκα αὐτοὺς ἐπὶ ἄρχοντος ἐν ἀργυρίῳ τοῦ τόπου καὶ ἔθηκα ἐν στόματι αὐτῶν λόγους λαλῆσαι πρὸς τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτῶν τοὺς ναθινιμ ἐν ἀργυρίῳ τοῦ τόπου τοῦ ἐνέγκαι ἡμῖν ᾄδοντας εἰς οἶκον θεοῦ ἡμῶν
18 Since our gracious God was with us, they brought us Sherebiah, a man with good insight from the sons of Mahli, son of Levi, son of Israel, together with his sons and brothers, a total of eighteen men;
καὶ ἤλθοσαν ἡμῖν ὡς χεὶρ θεοῦ ἡμῶν ἀγαθὴ ἐφ’ ἡμᾶς ἀνὴρ σαχωλ ἀπὸ υἱῶν Μοολι υἱοῦ Λευι υἱοῦ Ισραηλ καὶ ἀρχὴν ἤλθοσαν υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ ὀκτωκαίδεκα
19 and Hashabiah, along with Jeshaiah, from the sons of Merari, and his brothers and their sons, a total of twenty men.
καὶ τὸν Ασεβια καὶ τὸν Ωσαιαν ἀπὸ υἱῶν Μεραρι ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ υἱοὶ αὐτῶν εἴκοσι
20 In addition they brought 220 of the Temple servants, a group appointed by David and his officials to help the Levites. These were all registered by name.
καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ναθινιμ ὧν ἔδωκεν Δαυιδ καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες εἰς δουλείαν τῶν Λευιτῶν ναθινιμ διακόσιοι καὶ εἴκοσι πάντες συνήχθησαν ἐν ὀνόμασιν
21 At the Ahava Canal I called for a fast so we could confess our sins before God and ask him for a safe journey for us and our children, along with all our possessions.
καὶ ἐκάλεσα ἐκεῖ νηστείαν ἐπὶ τὸν ποταμὸν Αουε τοῦ ταπεινωθῆναι ἐνώπιον θεοῦ ἡμῶν ζητῆσαι παρ’ αὐτοῦ ὁδὸν εὐθεῖαν ἡμῖν καὶ τοῖς τέκνοις ἡμῶν καὶ πάσῃ τῇ κτήσει ἡμῶν
22 I had been reluctant to ask the king to give us a military escort to protect us from enemies on the way. We had told the king, “Our gracious God takes care of everyone who follows him, but shows his anger against anyone who abandons him.”
ὅτι ᾐσχύνθην αἰτήσασθαι παρὰ τοῦ βασιλέως δύναμιν καὶ ἱππεῖς σῶσαι ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ ἐχθροῦ ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ ὅτι εἴπαμεν τῷ βασιλεῖ λέγοντες χεὶρ τοῦ θεοῦ ἡμῶν ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς ζητοῦντας αὐτὸν εἰς ἀγαθόν καὶ κράτος αὐτοῦ καὶ θυμὸς αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ πάντας ἐγκαταλείποντας αὐτόν
23 So we fasted and asked God to protect us, and he answered our prayers.
καὶ ἐνηστεύσαμεν καὶ ἐζητήσαμεν παρὰ τοῦ θεοῦ ἡμῶν περὶ τούτου καὶ ἐπήκουσεν ἡμῖν
24 Then I designated twelve of the leading priests, and Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brothers,
καὶ διέστειλα ἀπὸ ἀρχόντων τῶν ἱερέων δώδεκα τῷ Σαραια Ασαβια καὶ μετ’ αὐτῶν ἀπὸ ἀδελφῶν αὐτῶν δέκα
25 and I weighed out and handed them the donations of silver and gold, and the items that the king, his counselors, his leaders, and all the people of Israel there had given for the Temple of our God.
καὶ ἔστησα αὐτοῖς τὸ ἀργύριον καὶ τὸ χρυσίον καὶ τὰ σκεύη ἀπαρχῆς οἴκου θεοῦ ἡμῶν ἃ ὕψωσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ οἱ σύμβουλοι αὐτοῦ καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες αὐτοῦ καὶ πᾶς Ισραηλ οἱ εὑρισκόμενοι
26 I weighed out and placed in their hands 650 talents of silver, silver Temple items weighing 100 talents, 100 talents of gold,
καὶ ἔστησα ἐπὶ χεῖρας αὐτῶν ἀργυρίου τάλαντα ἑξακόσια καὶ πεντήκοντα καὶ σκεύη ἀργυρᾶ ἑκατὸν καὶ τάλαντα χρυσίου ἑκατὸν
27 20 gold bowls worth 1,000 darics, and two articles of highly-polished bronze, as valuable as gold.
καὶ καφουρη χρυσοῖ εἴκοσι εἰς τὴν ὁδὸν χαμανιμ χίλιοι καὶ σκεύη χαλκοῦ στίλβοντος ἀγαθοῦ διάφορα ἐπιθυμητὰ ἐν χρυσίῳ
28 I told them, “You are set apart for the Lord, and these Temple items are too. The silver and gold are a voluntary offering to the Lord, the God of your forefathers.
καὶ εἶπα πρὸς αὐτούς ὑμεῖς ἅγιοι τῷ κυρίῳ καὶ τὰ σκεύη ἅγια καὶ τὸ ἀργύριον καὶ τὸ χρυσίον ἑκούσια τῷ κυρίῳ θεῷ πατέρων ὑμῶν
29 You are to guard them and keep them safe until you hand them over, weighing them before the high priests, the Levites and the family leaders in Israel at Jerusalem, in the treasury rooms within the Lord's Temple.”
ἀγρυπνεῖτε καὶ τηρεῖτε ἕως στῆτε ἐνώπιον ἀρχόντων τῶν ἱερέων καὶ τῶν Λευιτῶν καὶ τῶν ἀρχόντων τῶν πατριῶν ἐν Ιερουσαλημ εἰς σκηνὰς οἴκου κυρίου
30 The priests and Levites took responsibility for the silver and gold and the Temple items that had been weighed out to be brought to the Temple of our God in Jerusalem.
καὶ ἐδέξαντο οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ οἱ Λευῖται σταθμὸν τοῦ ἀργυρίου καὶ τοῦ χρυσίου καὶ τῶν σκευῶν ἐνεγκεῖν εἰς Ιερουσαλημ εἰς οἶκον θεοῦ ἡμῶν
31 On the twelfth day of the first month, we left the Ahava Canal to go to Jerusalem, and our God was with us to protect us from enemy ambushes along the way.
καὶ ἐξήραμεν ἀπὸ τοῦ ποταμοῦ Αουε ἐν τῇ δωδεκάτῃ τοῦ μηνὸς τοῦ πρώτου τοῦ ἐλθεῖν εἰς Ιερουσαλημ καὶ χεὶρ θεοῦ ἡμῶν ἦν ἐφ’ ἡμῖν καὶ ἐρρύσατο ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ χειρὸς ἐχθροῦ καὶ πολεμίου ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ
32 Eventually we arrived in Jerusalem and rested there for three days.
καὶ ἤλθομεν εἰς Ιερουσαλημ καὶ ἐκαθίσαμεν ἐκεῖ ἡμέρας τρεῖς
33 On the fourth day the silver and the gold and the Temple items were weighed out in the Temple of our God and handed over to Meremoth, son of Uriah the priest, accompanied by Eleazar, son of Phinehas. Also present were the Levites, Jozabad, son of Jeshua, and Noadiah, son of Binnui.
καὶ ἐγενήθη τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τετάρτῃ ἐστήσαμεν τὸ ἀργύριον καὶ τὸ χρυσίον καὶ τὰ σκεύη ἐν οἴκῳ θεοῦ ἡμῶν ἐπὶ χεῖρα Μεριμωθ υἱοῦ Ουρια τοῦ ἱερέως καὶ μετ’ αὐτοῦ Ελεαζαρ υἱὸς Φινεες καὶ μετ’ αὐτῶν Ιωζαβαδ υἱὸς Ἰησοῦ καὶ Νωαδια υἱὸς Βαναια οἱ Λευῖται
34 Everything was checked, both by number and weight, and the total weight was written down at the time.
ἐν ἀριθμῷ καὶ ἐν σταθμῷ τὰ πάντα καὶ ἐγράφη πᾶς ὁ σταθμός ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ
35 Then the exiles who had returned from captivity sacrificed burnt offerings to the God of Israel—twelve bulls for all of Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, and a sin offering of twelve goats. All were sacrificed as a burnt offering to the Lord.
οἱ ἐλθόντες ἀπὸ τῆς αἰχμαλωσίας υἱοὶ τῆς παροικίας προσήνεγκαν ὁλοκαυτώσεις τῷ θεῷ Ισραηλ μόσχους δώδεκα περὶ παντὸς Ισραηλ κριοὺς ἐνενήκοντα ἕξ ἀμνοὺς ἑβδομήκοντα καὶ ἑπτά χιμάρους περὶ ἁμαρτίας δώδεκα τὰ πάντα ὁλοκαυτώματα τῷ κυρίῳ
36 They also delivered the king's decrees to the chief officers of the king and the governors of the province west of the Euphrates, who then provided assistance to the people and to God's Temple.
καὶ ἔδωκαν τὸ νόμισμα τοῦ βασιλέως τοῖς διοικηταῖς τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ ἐπάρχοις πέραν τοῦ ποταμοῦ καὶ ἐδόξασαν τὸν λαὸν καὶ τὸν οἶκον τοῦ θεοῦ
