1 And these are the priests and the Levites that came up with Zerubbabel the son of Shealthiel, and Jeshua': Serayah, Jeremiah, 'Ezra,
Ovo su svećenici i leviti koji su došli sa Zerubabelom, sinom Šealtielovim, i Ješuom: Seraja, Jeremija, Ezra,

Salu, Amok, Hilkija i Jedaja. To su bili glavari svećenički i njihova braća za Ješuina vremena.
8 And the Levites: Jeshua', Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebyah, Judah, and Matthaniah, who was over the songs of thanksgiving, he and his brethren;
A leviti: Ješua, Binuj, Kadmiel, Šerebja, Juda i Matanija - ovaj potonji i njegova braća ravnali su hvalospjevima.
9 And Bakbukyah and 'Unni, their brethren, were opposite to them in the watches.
Bakbukja i Uni i braća njihova izmjenjivali su se s njima u službi.
10 And Jeshua' begat Joyakim, and Joyakim begat Elyashib, and Elyashib begat Joyada'.
Ješua rodi Jojakima; Jojakim rodi Elijašiba, a Elijašib Jojadu;
11 And Joyada' begat Jonathan, and Jonathan begat Jaddua'.
Jojada rodi Jonatana, a Jonatan rodi Jaduu.
12 And in the days of Joyakim were priests, as chiefs of the divisions: Of Serayah, Merayah; of Jeremiah, Chananyah;
U Jojakimovo vrijeme glavari svećeničkih obitelji bijahu: Serajine obitelji Meraja; Jeremijine Hananja;

Hilkijine Hašabja; Jedajine Netanel.
22 Of the Levites in the days of Elyashib, Yoyada', and Yochanan, and Jaddua', are written down the chiefs of the divisions: also those of the priests to the reign of Darius the Persian.
U vrijeme Elijašiba, Jojade, Johanana i Jadue bili su popisani glavari levitskih obitelji i svećenici sve do kraljevanja Darija Perzijanca.
23 The sons of Levi, the chiefs of the divisions were written down in the book of the chronicles, even until the days of Jochanan the son of Elyashib.
Sinovi Levijevi: glavari obitelji bili su zabilježeni u Knjizi ljetopisa, do vremena Johanana, sina Elijašibova.
24 And the chiefs of the Levites were: Chashabyah, Sherebyah, and Jeshua' the son of Kadmiel, with their brethren opposite to them, to praise and to give thanks, according to the command of David the man of God, section by section.
Glavari levitski bili su: Hašabja, Šerebja, Ješua, Binuj, Kadmiel, a njihova braća, koja su stajala prema njima da pjevaju naizmjenično pohvale i zahvalnice prema uredbama Davida, Božjeg čovjeka,
25 Matthanyah, and Bakbukyah, 'Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, 'Akkub, were watching gatekeepers on the watch at the thresholds of the gates.
bijahu: Matanija, Bakbukja i Obadja. A Mešulam, Talmon i Akub, vratari, čuvali su stražu kod skladišta blizu vrata.
26 These were in the days of Joyakim, the son of Jeshua', the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor, and of 'Ezra the priest, the expounder.
Ti su živjeli u vrijeme Jojakima, sina Ješue, sina Josadakova, i u vrijeme upravitelja Nehemije i književnika svećenika Ezre.
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 celebrate the dedication with joy, with thanksgivings, and with singing, cymbals, psalteries, and with harps.
Kad je bila posveta jeruzalemskoga zida, potražili su levite svugdje gdje su stanovali da ih dovedu u Jeruzalem te proslave posvetu radošću, zahvalnicama i pjesmom uz cimbale, harfe i citre.
28 And there gathered themselves together the sons of the singers, both out of the district round about Jerusalem, and from the villages of Netophah;
I skupiše se pjevači, sinovi Levijevi, iz kraja oko Jeruzalema, iz netofatskih sela,
29 Also from Beth-hagilgal, and out of the fields of Geba' and Azmaveth; for the singers had built themselves villages round about Jerusalem.
iz Bet Hagilgala, iz Gebe i polja Azmaveta: jer su pjevači sebi sagradili sela oko Jeruzalema.
30 And the priests and the Levites purified themselves, and then they purified the people, and the gates, and the wall.
Svećenici i leviti očistili su sebe, a zatim su očistili narod, vrata i zid.
31 Then brought I up the princes of Judah upon the wall, and stationed two great companies for thanksgiving, and trains to walk on the right hand upon the wall by the dung-gate;
Tada sam izveo judejske knezove na zid i sastavio dva velika zbora. Prvi je išao desno niza zid, prema Smetlišnim vratima;
32 And after them walked Hosha'yah, and half of the princes of Judah,
za njima su išli Hošaja i polovina judejskih knezova -
33 And 'Azaryah, 'Ezra, and Meshullam,
Azarja, Ezra i Mešulam,
34 Judah, and Benjamin, and Shema'yah, and Jeremiah;
Juda, Benjamin, Šemaja i Jeremija,
35 And of the sons of priests' with trumpets, Zechariah the son of Jonathan, the son of Shema'yah, the son of Matthanyah, the son of Michayah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Assaph;
a od svećeničkih sinova s trubljama: Zaharija, sin Jonatana, sina Šemaje, sina Matanije, sina Mikaje, sina Zakura, sina Asafa,
36 And his brethren, Shema'yah, and 'Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Ma'ai, Nethanel, and Judah, Chanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God; and 'Ezra the expounder walked before them.
s braćom njihovom Šemajom, Azarelom, Milalajem, Gilalajem, Maajem, Netanelom, Judom, Hananijem, s glazbalima Davida, Božjega čovjeka. A Ezra, književnik, išao je pred njima.
37 And over the fountain-gate, and straight before them, they went up by the stairs of the city of David, at the ascent of the wall, above the house of David, even as far as the water-gate, eastward.
Kod Izvorskih vrata popeli su se njima nasuprot kraj stepenica Davidova grada, zidnim usponom od Davidove palače sve do Vodenih vrata na istoku.
38 And the other company for thanksgiving that walked in the opposite direction to them, —this one did I follow, and the half of the people upon the wall, from beyond the tower of the ovens even as far as the broad wall;
Drugi zbor, a za njim ja i polovica narodnih knezova, išao je nalijevo zidom i Pećkom kulom sve do Tržnog zida,
39 And above the gate of Ephraim, and above the old gate, and above the fish-gate, and the tower of Chananel, and the tower of Meah, even as far as the sheep-gate; and they halted at the prison-gate.
pa onda iznad Efrajimovih vrata, Starih vrata, Ribljih vrata, Hananelove kule, kule Meaha, sve do Ovčjih vrata. Zaustavili su se kod Zatvorskih vrata.
40 So did the two companies for thanksgiving place themselves in the house of God, and I, and the half of the rulers with me.
Potom su oba zbora zauzela mjesto u Domu Božjem. Tako i ja i sa mnom polovica odličnika,
41 And the priests, Elyakim, Ma'asseyah, Minyamin, Michayah, Elyo'enai, Zechariah, and Chananiah, with trumpets;
svećenici Elijakim, Maaseja, Minjamin, Mikaja, Elijoenaj, Zaharija, Hananija s trubama,
42 And Ma'asseyah, and Shema'yah, and El'azar, and 'Uzzi, and Jehochanan, and Malkiyah, and 'Elam, and 'Ezer. And the singers sang aloud, with Yisrachyah as their overseer.
zatim Maaseja, Šemaja, Eleazar, Uzi, Johanan, Malkija, Elam i Ezer. Pjevači su pjevali pod ravnanjem Jizrahjinim.
43 And they sacrificed on that day great sacrifices, and rejoiced; for God had caused them to rejoice with great joy; and also the women and the children rejoiced: so that the [shout of] joy of Jerusalem was heard even at a great distance off.
Toga su dana prinesene velike žrtve, ljudi su dali oduška radosti, jer ih je Bog ispunio velikom radošću, veselile se i žene i djeca. I radost Jeruzalema čula se nadaleko.
44 And there were appointed at that day certain men as superintendents over the chambers for the treasuries, 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 according to the law for the priests and the Levites; for Judah had joy on the priests and on the Levites that stood there,
U to su vrijeme postavljeni ljudi da nadziru spremišta prinosa, prvina, desetina i da s polja uz gradove sabiru dijelove koje Zakon dodjeljuje svećenicima i levitima. Jer su se Judejci radovali svećenicima i levitima koji su bili u službi.
45 And kept the charge of their God, and the charge of the purification, and as singers and gatekeepers, according to the command of David, [and] of Solomon his son.
Oni su vršili službu Bogu svome i službu očišćenja - kao i pjevači i vratari - prema odredbi Davida i njegova sina Salomona.
46 For in the days of David and Assaph of old there were chiefs of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving unto God.
Jer od Davidovih i Asafovih dana, od davnine, postoje pjevački glavari i pjesme pohvalne i zahvalnice Bogu.
47 And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah, gave the portions of the singers and the gatekeeper, what was required for every day on its day; and they sanctified things for the Levites: and the Levites sanctified [the portion due] for the children of Aaron.
Zato je sav Izrael u vrijeme Zerubabela i u Nehemijino vrijeme dan za danom davao dijelove određene za pjevače i vratare. Davali su levitima posvećene darove, a leviti su davali sinovima Aronovim.
