Nehemiah 12
1 [Many] priests and [other] descendants of Levi returned (from Babylonia/to Jerusalem) with Zerubbabel and Jeshua. They included Seraiah, Jeremiah, Ezra,
Torej to so duhovniki in Lévijevci, ki so prišli gor z Zerubabélom, Šealtiélovim sinom in Ješúom: Serajá, Jeremija, Ezra,
2 Amariah, Malluch, Hattush,
Amarjá, Malúh, Hatúš,
3 Shecaniah, Rehum, Meremoth,
Šehanjá, Rehúm, Meremót,
4 Iddo, Ginnethon, Abijah,
Idó, Ginetó, Abíja,
5 Mijamin, Moadiah, Bilgah,
Mijamín, Maadjá, Bilgá,
6 Shemaiah, Joiarib, Jedaiah,
Šemajá, Jojaríb, Jedajája,
7 Sallu, Amok, Hilkiah, and Jedaiah. All those men were leaders of the priests during the time that Jeshua [was the Supreme Priest].
Salú, Amók, Hilkijá, Jedajája. Ti so bili vodje duhovnikov in njihovih bratov v dneh Ješúa.
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].
Poleg tega Lévijevci: Ješúa, Binúj, Kadmiél, Šerebjá, Juda in Matanjá, ki je bil nad zahvaljevanjem, on in njegovi bratje.
9 Bakbukiah, Unni, and other descendants of Levi formed a choir that stood opposite the other group [and sang in reply to them].
Tudi Bakbukjá in Uní, njihova brata, sta bila njim nasproti na stražah.
10 Jeshua [who was the Supreme Priest] was the father of Joiakim, who was the father of Eliashib, who was the father of Joiada,
Ješúa je zaplodil Jojakíma, Jojakím je zaplodil tudi Eljašíba, Eljašíb je zaplodil Jojadá,
11 who was the father of Jonathan, who was the father of Jaddua.
Jojadá je zaplodil Jonatana in Jonatan je zaplodil Jadúa.
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;
V dneh Jojakíma so bili duhovniki, vodja očetov: od Serajáma Merajá, od Jeremija Hananjá,
13 Meshullam, from [the clan of] Ezra; Jehohanan, from [the clan of] Amariah;
od Ezra Mešulám, od Amarjá Johanán,
14 Jonathan, from [the clan of] Malluch; Joseph, from [the clan of] Shecaniah;
od Melicuja Jonatan, od Šebanjá Jožef,
15 Adna, from [the clan of] Harim; Helkai, from [the clan of] Meremoth/Maraioth;
od Haríma Adná, od Merajóta Helkáj,
16 Zechariah, from [the clan of] Iddo; Meshullam, from [the clan of] Ginnethon;
od Idója Zaharija, od Ginetóna Mešulám,
17 Zicri, from [the clan of] Abijah. There was also a leader from [the clan of] Miniamin; Piltai, from [the clan of] Moadiah;
od Abíja Zihrí, od Minjamína, od Moadjája Piltáj,
18 Shammua, from [the clan of] Bilgah; Jehonathan, from [the clan of] Shemaiah;
od Bilgája Šamúa, od Šemajája Jehonatan,
19 Mattenai, from [the clan of] Joiarib; Uzzi, from [the clan of] Jedaiah;
in od Jojaríba Matenáj, od Jedajája Uzí,
20 Kallai, from [the clan of] Sallu/Sallai; Eber, from [the clan of] Amok;
od Salája Kaláj, od Amóka Eber,
21 Hashabiah, from [the clan of] Hilkiah; and Nethanel, from [the clan of] Jedaiah.
od Hilkijá Hašabjá, od Jedajája, Netanél.
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.
Lévijevci v dneh Eljašíba, Jojadája, Johanána in Jadúa so bili zabeleženi vodje očetov, tudi duhovniki, do kraljevanja Perzijca Dareja.
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].
Lévijevi sinovi, vodje očetov so bili zapisani v kroniški knjigi, celo do dni Eljašíbovega sina Johanána.
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.
Vodje Lévijevcev: Hašabjá, Šerebjá in Kadmiélov sin Ješúa z njihovimi brati nasproti njih, da hvalijo in da se zahvaljujejo, glede na zapoved Davida, Božjega moža, straža nasproti straži.
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.
Matanjá in Bakbukjá, Obadjá, Mešulám, Talmón, Akúb so bili vratarji, ki so varovali stražo pri pragovih velikih vrat.
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.
Ti so bili v dneh Jojakíma, sina Ješúa, sinú Jocadákovega in v dneh voditelja Nehemija in preroka Ezra, pisarja.
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.
Ob posvetitvi jeruzalemskega obzidja so iskali Lévijevce iz vseh njihovih krajev, da jih privedejo v Jeruzalem, da ohranjajo posvetitev z veseljem, tako z zahvaljevanjem kakor s petjem, s cimbalami, plunkami in harfami.
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],
Sinovi pevcev so se zbrali skupaj, tako iz ravne dežele okoli Jeruzalema kakor iz vasi Netófčanov,
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.
tudi iz hiše Gilgála in iz gebskih in azmávetskih polj, kajti pevcem so zgradili vasi okoli Jeruzalema.
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.
Duhovniki in Lévijevci so očistili sebe, očistili ljudstvo in velika vrata ter obzidje.
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.
Potem sem na obzidje privedel Judove prince in določil dve veliki skupini tistih, ki so dajali zahvalo, od katerih je ena odšla na desno roko, po obzidju, h Gnojnim velikim vratom.
32 Behind their leaders marched Hoshaiah and half of the leaders of Judah.
Za njimi je odšel Hošajá in polovica Judovih princev
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.
Azarjá, Ezra, Mešulám,
Juda, Benjamin, Šemajá in Jeremija.
Nekateri izmed duhovnikovih sinov s trobentami, namreč Zeharjá, sin Jonatana, sinú Šemajá, sinú Matanjá, sinú Mihajája, sinú Zahúrja, sinú Asáfa
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.
in njegovi bratje: Šemajá, Azarél, Milaláj, Gilaláj, Maáj, Netanél, Juda in Hananí z glasbenimi instrumenti Davida, Božjega moža in pisar Ezra pred njimi.
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].
Pri Studenčnih velikih vratih, ki so bila nasproti njim, so se po stopnicah Davidovega mesta povzpeli ob vzponu obzidja, nad Davidovo hišo, celo do Vodnih velikih vrat proti vzhodu.
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.
Druga skupina izmed tistih, ki so dajali zahvalo, pa je šla nasproti njim in jaz za njimi in polovica ljudstva na zidu od onstran stolpa talilnih peči, celo do širokega zidu
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.
in nad Efrájimovimi velikimi vrati, nad Starimi velikimi vrati, nad Ribjimi velikimi vrati in [mimo] stolpa Hananéla in stolpa Mea, torej do Ovčjih velikih vrat in so mirno obstali pri Jetniških velikih vratih.
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].
Tako sta stali dve skupini izmed tistih, ki so dajali zahvalo v Božji hiši ter jaz in polovica vladarjev z menoj
41 My group included these priests who were [all blowing] trumpets: Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, Hananiah,
in duhovniki: Eljakím, Maasejája, Minjamín, Mihajá, Eljoenáj, Zeharjá in Hananjá s trobentami
42 [another] Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malchijah, Elam, and Ezer. The singers, whose leader was Jezrahiah, sang loudly.
ter Maasejája, Šemajá, Eleazar, Uzí, Johanán, Malkijája, Elám in Ecer. Pevci so glasno peli z Jizrahjájem, njihovim nadzornikom.
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.
Ta dan so darovali tudi veliko klavnih daritev in se veselili, kajti Bog jih je pripravil, da se veselijo z veliko radostjo. Tudi žene in otroci so se veselili, tako da je bilo veselje iz Jeruzalema slišati celo od daleč.
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,
Ob tistem času so bili nekateri določeni nad sobe za zaklade, za daritve, za prve sadove in za desetine, da zberejo vanje iz mestnih polj deleže od postave za duhovnike in Lévijevce, kajti Juda se je veselil zaradi duhovnikov in Lévijevcev, ki so čakali.
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.
Tako pevci kakor vratarji so varovali službo svojega Boga in službo očiščevanja, glede na zapoved Davida in njegovega sina Salomona.
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.
Kajti v dneh Davida in Asáfa, so bili tam od davnine vodje pevcev s pesmimi hvaljenja in zahvaljevanja Bogu.
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].
Ves Izrael je v dneh Zerubabéla in v dneh Nehemija dal deleže pevcem in vratarjem, vsak dan njegov delež. Svete stvari pa so posvetili Lévijevcem in Lévijevci so jih posvetili Aronovim otrokom.
