Nehemiah 12

1 And these are the priests and the Levites that came up with Zerubbabel the son of Shealthiel, and Jeshua': Serayah, Jeremiah, 'Ezra,

Hi sunt autem sacerdotes et Levitæ, qui ascenderunt cum Zorobabel filio Salathiel, et Josue: Saraia, Jeremias, Esdras,

2 Amaryah, Malluch, Chattush,

Amaria, Melluch, Hattus,

3 Shechanyah, Rechum, Meremoth,

Sebenias, Rheum, Merimuth,

6 Shema'yah, and Joyarib, Jed'ayah,

Semeia, et Jojarib, Idaia, Sellum, Amoc, Helcias,

7 Sallu, 'Amok, Chilkiyah, Jed'ayah. These were the chiefs of the priests and of their brethren in the days of Jeshua'.

Idaia. Isti principes sacerdotum, et fratres eorum in diebus Josue.

8 And the Levites: Jeshua', Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebyah, Judah, and Matthaniah, who was over the songs of thanksgiving, he and his brethren;

Porro Levitæ, Jesua, Bennui, Cedmihel, Sarebia, Juda, Mathanias, super hymnos ipsi et fratres eorum:

9 And Bakbukyah and 'Unni, their brethren, were opposite to them in the watches.

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

10 And Jeshua' begat Joyakim, and Joyakim begat Elyashib, and Elyashib begat Joyada'.

Josue autem genuit Joacim, et Joacim genuit Eliasib, et Eliasib genuit Jojada,

11 And Joyada' begat Jonathan, and Jonathan begat Jaddua'.

et Jojada genuit Jonathan, et Jonathan genuit Jeddoa.

12 And in the days of Joyakim were priests, as chiefs of the divisions: Of Serayah, Merayah; of Jeremiah, Chananyah;

In diebus autem Joacim erant sacerdotes et principes familiarum: Saraiæ, Maraia: Jeremiæ, Hanania:

13 Of 'Ezra, Meshullam; of Amaryah, Jehochanan;

Esdræ, Mosollam: Amariæ, Johanan:

14 Of Mellchu, Jonathan; of Shebanyah, Joseph;

Milicho, Jonathan: Sebeniæ, Joseph:

15 Of Charim, 'Adna; of Merayoth, Chelkai;

Haram, Edna: Maraioth, Helci:

16 Of 'Iddo, Zechariah; of Ginnethon, Meshullam;

Adaiæ, Zacharia: Genthon, Mosollam:

17 Of Abiyah, Zichri; of Minyamin, of Mo'adyah, Piltai;

Abiæ, Zechri: Miamin et Moadiæ, Phelti:

18 Of Bilgah, Shammua'; of Shem'ayah, Jehonathan;

19 And of Joyarib, Matthenai; of Jeda'yah, 'Uzzi;

Jojarib, Mathanai: Jodaiæ, Azzi:

20 Of Sallai, Kallai; of 'Amok, 'Eber;

Sellai, Celai: Amoc, Heber:

21 Of Chilkiyah, Chashabyah; of Jeda'yah, Nethanel.

Helciæ, Hasebia: Idaiæ, Nathanaël.

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.

Levitæ in diebus Eliasib, et Jojada, et Johanan, et Jeddoa, scripti principes familiarum, et sacerdotes in regno Darii Persæ.

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.

Filii Levi principes familiarum, scripti in libro verborum dierum, et usque ad dies Jonathan, filii Eliasib.

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.

Et principes Levitarum, Hasebia, Serebia, et Josue filius Cedmihel: et fratres eorum per vices suas, ut laudarent et confiterentur juxta præceptum David viri Dei, et observarent æque per ordinem.

25 Matthanyah, and Bakbukyah, 'Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, 'Akkub, were watching gatekeepers on the watch at the thresholds of the gates.

Mathania, et Becbecia, Obedia, Mosollam, Telmon, Accub, custodes portarum et vestibulorum ante portas.

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.

Hi in diebus Joacim filii Josue, filii Josedec, 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 celebrate the dedication with joy, with thanksgivings, and with singing, cymbals, psalteries, and with harps.

In dedicatione autem muri Jerusalem, requisierunt Levitas de omnibus locis suis ut adducerent eos in Jerusalem, et facerent dedicationem et lætitiam in actione gratiarum, et cantico, et in cymbalis, psalteriis, et citharis.

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;

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

29 Also from Beth-hagilgal, and out of the fields of Geba' and Azmaveth; for the singers had built themselves villages round about Jerusalem.

et de domo Galgal, et de regionibus Geba et Azmaveth: quoniam villas ædificaverunt sibi cantores in circuitu Jerusalem.

30 And the priests and the Levites purified themselves, and then they purified the people, and the gates, and the wall.

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

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;

Ascendere autem feci principes Juda super murum, et statui duos magnos choros laudantium. Et ierunt ad dexteram super murum ad portam sterquilinii.

32 And after them walked Hosha'yah, and half of the princes of Judah,

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

33 And 'Azaryah, 'Ezra, and Meshullam,

et Azarias, Esdras, et Mosollam,

34 Judah, and Benjamin, and Shema'yah, and Jeremiah;

Judas, et Benjamin, et Semeia, et Jeremias.

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;

Et de filiis sacerdotum in tubis, Zacharias filius Jonathan, filius Semeiæ, filius Mathaniæ, filius Michaiæ, filius Zechur, filius Asaph,

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.

et fratres ejus Semeia, et Azareel, Malalai, Galalai, Maai, Nathanaël, et Judas, et Hanani, in vasis cantici David viri Dei: et Esdras scriba ante eos in porta fontis.

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.

Et contra eos ascenderunt in gradibus civitatis David in ascensu muri super domum David, et usque ad portam aquarum ad orientem.

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;

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 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.

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 So did the two companies for thanksgiving place themselves 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, Elyakim, Ma'asseyah, Minyamin, Michayah, Elyo'enai, Zechariah, and Chananiah, with trumpets;

Et sacerdotes, Eliachim, Maasia, Miamin, Michea, Elioënai, Zacharia, Hanania in tubis,

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.

et Maasia, et Semeia, et Eleazar, et Azzi, et Johanan, et Melchia, et Ælam, et Ezer. Et clare cecinerunt cantores, et Jezraia præpositus:

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.

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 Jerusalem procul.

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,

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 Juda in sacerdotibus et Levitis adstantibus.

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.

Et custodierunt observationem Dei sui, et observationem expiationis, et cantores, et janitores juxta præceptum David, et Salomonis filii ejus,

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.

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 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.

Et omnis Israël in diebus Zorobabel et in diebus Nehemiæ, dabant partes cantoribus et janitoribus per dies singulos, et sanctificabant Levitas, et Levitæ sanctificabant filios Aaron.
