Nehemiah 12
1 [Many] priests and [other] descendants of Levi returned (from Babylonia/to Jerusalem) with Zerubbabel and Jeshua. They included Seraiah, Jeremiah, Ezra,
Ezek pedig a papok és Léviták, a kik feljövének Zorobábellel, Sealtiél fiával és Jésuával: Serája, Jeremiás, Ezsdrás.
2 Amariah, Malluch, Hattush,
Amária, Mallukh, Hattus,
3 Shecaniah, Rehum, Meremoth,
Sekánia, Rehum, Meremóth,
4 Iddo, Ginnethon, Abijah,
Iddó, Ginnethói, Abija,
5 Mijamin, Moadiah, Bilgah,
Mijámin, Maádia, Bilga,
6 Shemaiah, Joiarib, Jedaiah,
Semája, Jójárib, Jedája,
7 Sallu, Amok, Hilkiah, and Jedaiah. All those men were leaders of the priests during the time that Jeshua [was the Supreme Priest].
Szallu, Ámók, Hilkija, Jedája, – ezek valának fejei a papoknak és atyjokfiainak Jésua napjaiban.
8 [Some of the other] descendants of Levi who returned were Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, and Mattaniah. They were in charge of singing songs to thank [God].
A Léviták pedig ezek: Jésua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Serébia, Jehuda, Mattánia, – ki vezetője vala hálaadó éneklésnek, atyjafiaival.
9 Bakbukiah, Unni, and other descendants of Levi formed a choir that stood opposite the other group [and sang in reply to them].
És Bakbukia, s Unni, az ő atyjokfiai velök szemben, tisztök szerint.
10 Jeshua [who was the Supreme Priest] was the father of Joiakim, who was the father of Eliashib, who was the father of Joiada,
És Jésua nemzé Jojákimot, s Jojákim nemzé Eliásibot, s Eliásib nemzé Jójadát,
11 who was the father of Jonathan, who was the father of Jaddua.
És Jójada nemzé Jónathánt, s Jónathán nemzé Jadduát.
12 When Joiakim was the Supreme Priest, these were the leaders of the clans of priests: Meraiah, from [the clan of] Seraiah; Hananiah, from [the clan of] Jeremiah;
Jójákim napjaiban pedig papok, családfők valának: Serája családjában Merája, Jerémiáséban Hanánia,
13 Meshullam, from [the clan of] Ezra; Jehohanan, from [the clan of] Amariah;
Ezsdráséban Mesullám, Amáriáéban Jóhanán,
14 Jonathan, from [the clan of] Malluch; Joseph, from [the clan of] Shecaniah;
Melikuéban Jónathán, Sebaniáéban József,
15 Adna, from [the clan of] Harim; Helkai, from [the clan of] Meremoth/Maraioth;
Háriméban Adna, Merajóthéban Helkai,
16 Zechariah, from [the clan of] Iddo; Meshullam, from [the clan of] Ginnethon;
Iddóéban Zakhariás, Ginnethónéban Mesullám,
17 Zicri, from [the clan of] Abijah. There was also a leader from [the clan of] Miniamin; Piltai, from [the clan of] Moadiah;
Abijáéban Zikri, Minjáminéban és Móadiáéban Piltai,
18 Shammua, from [the clan of] Bilgah; Jehonathan, from [the clan of] Shemaiah;
Bilgáéban Sammua, Semájáéban Jónathán,
19 Mattenai, from [the clan of] Joiarib; Uzzi, from [the clan of] Jedaiah;
Jójáribéban Mattenai, Jedajáéban Uzzi,
20 Kallai, from [the clan of] Sallu/Sallai; Eber, from [the clan of] Amok;
Szallaiéban Kallai, Amókéban Éber,
21 Hashabiah, from [the clan of] Hilkiah; and Nethanel, from [the clan of] Jedaiah.
Hilkijáéban Hasábia, Jedajáéban Nethanéel.
22 During the years that Eliashib, Joiada, Johanan, and Jaddua [were Supreme Priests], they (wrote/kept a list of) the names of the clans who were descendants of Levi. When Darius was the king of Persia, they stopped writing that list.
A Léviták közül Eliásib, Jójada, Jóhanán és Jaddua napjaiban felírattak a családfők, a papok pedig mind a persiai Dárius országlásáig.
23 They wrote the names of the leaders of the clans who were descendants of Levi in the Book of Events [in Israel], but they stopped writing those names when Eliashib’s grandson Johanan [was the Supreme Priest].
A Léviták családfői felírattattak a krónikák könyvében Jóhanánnak, Eliásib fiának napjaiig;
24 These are the leaders of the clans [who are] descendants of Levi: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel and others who were divided into two groups. The two groups faced each other, one group replying to the other, during the time that they praised and thanked God. They did that just as King David, the man who served God well, had instructed.
A Léviták családfői valának: Hasábia, Serébia, Jésua a Kadmiel fia, és az ő atyjokfiai velök szemben a dícsérő és hálaadó éneklésre, Dávidnak, az Isten emberének parancsolata szerint, mint egy éneklő sereg együtt a másikkal.
25 These singers included Mattaniah, Bakbukiah, and Obadiah. The men who guarded the storerooms close to the gates [of the temple] were Meshullam, Talmon, and Akkub.
Mattánia, Bakbukia, Obádia, Mesullám, Talmón, Akkub pedig kapunállók, őrt állván a kapuk kincses házainál.
26 They did that work during the time that Joiakim, who was the son of Jeshua and the grandson of Jehozadak, [was the Supreme Priest, ] and I was the governor, and Ezra was the priest who knew the Jewish laws very well.
Ezek valának Jojákim napjaiban, ki Jésua fia, ki Jósadák fia volt, és Nehémiásnak, a helytartónak és Ezsdrásnak, a törvénytudó papnak napjaiban.
27 When we dedicated the wall around Jerusalem, we summoned the descendants of Levi [who help the priests] from the nearby places where they [were living]. We asked them to [join with us to] celebrate when we dedicated the wall. We wanted them to sing songs to thank [Yahweh] and make music by playing cymbals and harps and other stringed instruments.
Jeruzsálem kőfalának felszentelésekor pedig fölkeresék a Lévitákat minden ő helyeiken, hogy behozzák őket Jeruzsálembe, hogy véghezvigyék a felszentelést örömmel és hálaadással és énekléssel, czimbalmokkal, lantokkal és cziterákkal.
28 We summoned the descendants of Levi who habitually sang together. They came to Jerusalem from nearby areas [where they had settled], and from places around Netophah [town southeast of Jerusalem],
És összegyűlének az énekesek fiai mind Jeruzsálem környékéről, mind pedig a Netófátiak faluiból.
29 and from three places [northeast of Jerusalem]—Beth Gilgal [city] and the areas around Geba and Azmaveth. Those singers had built villages to live in near Jerusalem.
Mind Beth-Gilgálból, mind Geba és Azmáveth határaiból, mert falukat építének magoknak az énekesek Jeruzsálem körül.
30 [When they came to Jerusalem], the priests and [other] descendants of Levi [who help the priests] performed rituals to cause themselves to be acceptable to God, and then they performed similar rituals to purify the [other] people, the gates, and the wall.
És minekutána megtisztíták magokat a papok és a Léviták, megtisztíták a népet is, s a kapukat és a kőfalat.
31 Then I gathered together the leaders of Judah on top of the wall, and I appointed them to lead two large groups to march around the city [on top of the wall], thanking God. [As they faced the city, ] one group walked to the right toward the Dung Gate.
Azután felvivém Júda fejedelmeit a kőfalhoz és rendelék két nagy hálaadást éneklő sereget és csapatokat; az egyik jobbkéz felé méne a kőfal mellett a szemétkapu felé,
32 Behind their leaders marched Hoshaiah and half of the leaders of Judah.
És utánok méne Hósaája és Júda fejedelmeinek fele,
33 Behind them marched a group of priests who were blowing trumpets. They were Azariah, Ezra, Meshullam, Judah, Benjamin, Shemaiah, and Jeremiah. Next came Zechariah, the son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Micaiah, the son of Zaccur, a descendant of Asaph.
És Azária, Ezsdrás és Mesullám,
Júda és Benjámin, Semája és Jeremiás,
A papok fiai közül kürtökkel; és Zakariás, a Jónathán fia, ki Semája fia, ki Mattánia fia, ki Mikája fia, ki Zakkur fia, ki Asáf fia vala,
36 Behind them marched other members of Zechariah’s clan: Shemaiah, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, Judah, and Hanani. They all were playing the same kinds of musical instruments that King David had played [many years previously]. Ezra, the man who knew the Jewish laws very well, marched in front of this group.
És az ő atyjafiai: Semája, Azarél, Milalai, Gilalai, Máaj, Nethanéel, Júda és Hanáni, Dávidnak, az Isten emberének éneklőszerszámaival; Ezsdrás pedig, az írástudó előttök megy vala;
37 When they reached the Fountain Gate, they went up the steps to David’s City, past his palace, and then to the wall at the Water Gate, on the east side [of the city].
Méne pedig e sereg a forrás kapuja felé, s egyenesen fölmenének Dávid városának lépcsőin a kőfalhoz vezető lépcsőre, s menének Dávid háza mellett s a vizek kapujáig napkelet felé.
38 The other group of those who were thanking [Yahweh] marched to the left on top of the wall. I followed them with half of the people. [We marched] past the Tower of the Ovens to the Broad Wall.
A hálaadást éneklő második sereg pedig, mely átellenben megy vala – én pedig és a népnek fele utánok – méne a kőfal mellett, a kemenczék tornya mellett, mind a széles kőfalig.
39 [From there we marched] past Ephraim Gate, Jeshanah Gate, the Fish Gate, the Tower of Hananel, the Tower of the Hundred Soldiers, to the Sheep Gate. We finished marching near the gate into the temple.
És az Efraim kapuja mellett és az ó város kapuja mellett és a halaknak kapuja mellett és a Hananél tornya és a Meáh torony mellett mind a juhok kapujáig, s megállának a tömlöcz kapujában.
40 Both the groups reached the temple while they were thanking God. They stood in their places there. The leaders who were with me [also stood with me in our places].
És megálla a hálaadást éneklő mindkét sereg az Isten házánál, és én s a fejedelmeknek fele velem,
41 My group included these priests who were [all blowing] trumpets: Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, Hananiah,
És a papok: Eljákim, Maaséja, Minjámin, Mikája, Eljoénai, Zakariás, Hanánia kürtökkel,
42 [another] Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malchijah, Elam, and Ezer. The singers, whose leader was Jezrahiah, sang loudly.
És Maaséja, Semája, Eleázár, Uzzi, Jóhanán, Malkija, Elám és Ezer; és zengedeznek vala az énekesek, és Jizrahia az előljáró.
43 [After we went outside the temple, ] we offered many sacrifices. We men all rejoiced because God had caused us to be very happy. The women and the children also rejoiced. People far away could hear the noise that we made there in Jerusalem.
És áldozának azon napon nagy áldozatokkal, és vigadának, mert az Isten megvidámítá őket nagy örömmel, sőt az asszonyok és gyermekek is vigadának; és Jeruzsálemnek öröme nagy messze hallatott.
44 On that day, men were appointed {they appointed men} to be in charge of the storerooms where they kept the money that people contributed [for the temple]. They also kept there [the other things that the people contributed—] the tithes and the first part of the grain and fruit that was harvested each year. Those men collected those things from the fields/farms near the cities, and [took them to Jerusalem and] gave them to the priests and the [other] descendants of Levi, as [Moses had said in his] laws that they should do. All the Israeli people were happy about the work that the priests and the descendants of Levi did,
És rendeltetének ama napon férfiak a kincseknek, felemelt áldozatoknak, első zsengéknek és a tizedeknek tárházai fölé, hogy összegyűjtsék azokba a városok határaiból a törvény szerint való részöket a papoknak és a Lévitáknak, mert örvendeze Júda a papokon és a Lévitákon, a kik ott állának tisztökben,
45 because they performed the rituals to purify things, and the other rituals that God had commanded. The musicians in the temple also did their work as King David and his son Solomon had declared that they should do.
Mint a kik megőrzik Istenök rendtartását s a tisztaság rendtartását, és az énekesek és a kapunállók is ott állának tisztökben, Dávidnak és az ő fiának, Salamonnak parancsolatja szerint;
46 Ever since the time that David had been the king and Asaph had been his chief musician, the musicians had led the people while they sang songs to praise and thank God.
Mert Dávidnak napjaiban Asáf vala régtől fogva az énekesek és az Istennek hálát adó és őt dícsérő éneklésnek vezetője.
47 During the years that Zerubbabel and I governed the Israeli people, they all contributed the food that the singers and temple gatekeepers needed each day. They gave (a tithe/10%) of their crops to the descendants of Levi [who helped the priests], and those descendants of Levi gave (a tithe/10%) of that to [the priests, who were] descendants of Aaron [the first Supreme Priest].
És a Zorobábel és Nehémiás napjaiban megadja vala az egész Izráel az énekeseknek és kapunállóknak az ő részöket naponként, nevezetesen oda szentelik vala azt a Lévitáknak, a Léviták pedig az Áron fiainak.
