Ezra 8
1 These are the leaders of their ancestors' families who left Babylon with me during the reign of King Artaxerxes.
Hi sunt ergo principes familiarum, et genealogia eorum, qui ascenderunt mecum in regno Artaxerxis regis de Babylone.
2 Of the descendants of Phinehas, Gershom. Of the descendants of Ithamar, Daniel. Of the descendants of David, Hattush,
De filiis Phinees, Gersom. De filiis Ithamar, Daniel. De filiis David, Hattus.
3 who was of the descendants of Shecaniah, who was from the descendants of Parosh; and Zechariah, and with him there were 150 males listed in the record of his genealogy.
De filiis Secheniæ, filiis Pharos, Zacharias: et cum eo numerati sunt viri centum quinquaginta.
4 Of the descendants of Pahath-Moab, Eliehoenai son of Zerahiah and with him were two hundred males.
De filiis Phahath Moab, Elioënai filius Zarehe, et cum eo ducenti viri.
5 Of the descendants of Zattu, Ben Jahaziel and with him were three hundred males.
De filiis Secheniæ, filius Ezechiel, et cum eo trecenti viri.
6 Of the descendants of Adin, Ebed son of Jonathan and with him were listed fifty males.
De filiis Adan, Abed filius Jonathan, et cum eo quinquaginta viri.
7 Of the descendants of Elam, Jeshaiah son of Athaliah and with him were listed seventy males.
De filiis Alam, Isaias filius Athaliæ, et cum eo septuaginta viri.
8 Of the descendants of Shephatiah, Zebadiah son of Michael and with him were listed eighty males.
De filiis Saphatiæ, Zebedia filius Michaël, et cum eo octoginta viri.
9 Of the descendants of Joab, Obadiah son of Jehiel and with him were listed 218 males.
De filiis Joab, Obedia filius Jahiel, et cum eo ducenti decem et octo viri.
10 Of the descendants of Bani, Shelomith son of Josiphiah and with him were listed 160 males.
De filiis Selomith, filius Josphiæ, et cum eo centum sexaginta viri.
11 Of the descendants of Bebai, Zechariah son of Bebai and with him were listed twenty-eight males.
De filiis Bebai, Zacharias filius Bebai, et cum eo viginti octo viri.
12 Of the descendants of Azgad, Johanan son of Hakkatan and with him were listed 110 males.
De filiis Azgad, Johanan filius Eccetan, et cum eo centum et decem viri.
13 Those of the descendants of Adonikam came later. These were their names: Eliphelet, Jeuel, and Shemaiah and with them came sixty males.
De filiis Adonicam, qui erant novissimi: et hæc nomina eorum: Elipheleth, et Jehiel, et Samaias, et cum eis sexaginta viri.
14 Of the descendants of Bigvai, Uthai and Zaccur and with him were listed seventy males.
De filii Begui, Uthai et Zachur, et cum eis septuaginta viri.
15 I gathered the travelers at the canal that goes to Ahava, and we camped there three days. I examined the people and priests, but could not find any descendants of Levi there.
Congregavi autem eos ad fluvium qui decurrit ad Ahava, et mansimus ibi tribus diebus: quæsivique in populo et in sacerdotibus de filiis Levi, et non inveni ibi.
16 So I sent for Eliezer, Ariel, Shemaiah, Elnathan, Jarib, and Elnathan and Nathan, Zechariah, and Meshullam—who were leaders—and for Joiarib and Elnathan—who were teachers.
Itaque misi Eliezer, et Ariel, et Semeiam, et Elnathan, et Jarib, et alterum Elnathan, et Nathan, et Zachariam, et Mosollam principes: et Jojarib, et Elnathan sapientes.
17 Next I sent them to Iddo, the leader in Kasiphia. I told them what to say to Iddo and his relatives, the temple servants living in Kasiphia, that is, to send to us servants for the house of God.
Et misi eos ad Eddo, qui est primus in Chasphiæ loco, et posui in ore eorum verba, quæ loquerentur ad Eddo, et fratres ejus Nathinæos in loco Chasphiæ, ut adducerent nobis ministros domus Dei nostri.
18 So they sent us by our God's good hand a man named Sherebiah, a prudent man. He was a descendant of Mahli son of Levi son of Israel. He came with eighteen sons and brothers.
Et adduxerunt nobis per manum Dei nostri bonam super nos, virum doctissimum de filiis Moholi filii Levi, filii Israël, et Sarabiam et filios ejus et fratres ejus decem et octo,
19 With him came Hashabiah. There also were Jeshaiah, one of the sons of Merari, with his brothers and their sons, twenty men in all.
et Hasabiam, et cum eo Isaiam de filiis Merari, fratresque ejus, et filios ejus viginti:
20 Of those assigned to serve in the temple, whom David and his officials gave to serve the Levites: 220, each of them assigned by name.
et de Nathinæis, quos dederat David et principes ad ministeria Levitarum, Nathinæos ducentos viginti: omnes hi suis nominibus vocabantur.
21 Then I proclaimed a fast at the Ahava Canal to humble ourselves before God, to seek a straight path from him for us, our little ones, and all our possessions.
Et prædicavi ibi jejunium juxta fluvium Ahava, ut affligeremur coram Domino Deo nostro, et peteremus ab eo viam rectam nobis et filiis nostris, universæque substantiæ nostræ.
22 I was ashamed to ask the king for an army or horsemen to protect us against enemies along the way, since we had said to the king, 'The hand of our God is on all who seek him for good, but his might and wrath are on all who forget him.'
Erubui enim petere a rege auxilium et equites, qui defenderent nos ab inimico in via: quia dixeramus regi: Manus Dei nostri est super omnes qui quærunt eum in bonitate: et imperium ejus, et fortitudo ejus, et furor, super omnes qui derelinquunt eum.
23 So we fasted and sought God about this, and we pled to him.
Jejunavimus autem, et rogavimus Deum nostrum per hoc: et evenit nobis prospere.
24 Next I selected twelve men from the priestly officials: Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brothers.
Et separavi de principibus sacerdotum duodecim, Sarabiam, et Hasabiam, et cum eis de fratribus eorum decem:
25 I weighed out for them silver, gold, and the objects and offerings for the house of God that the king, his counselors and officials, and all Israel had freely offered.
appendique eis argentum et aurum, et vasa consecrata domus Dei nostri, quæ obtulerat rex et consiliatores ejus, et principes ejus, universusque Israël eorum qui inventi fuerant:
26 So I weighed into their hand 650 talents of silver, one hundred talents of silver objects, one hundred talents of gold,
et appendi in manibus eorum argenti talenta sexcenta quinquaginta, et vasa argentea centum, auri centum talenta:
27 twenty gold bowls that were together valued at one thousand darics, and two well-polished bronze vessels as precious as gold.
et crateres aureos viginti, qui habebant solidos millenos, et vasa æris fulgentis optimi duo, pulchra ut aurum.
28 Then I said to them, “You are consecrated to Yahweh, and these objects also, and the silver and gold are a freewill offering to Yahweh, the God of your ancestors.
Et dixi eis: Vos sancti Domini, et vasa sancta, et argentum et aurum, quod sponte oblatum est Domino Deo patrum nostrorum:
29 Watch over them and keep them until you weigh them out before the priestly officials, Levites, and leaders of the ancestors' clans of Israel in Jerusalem in the rooms of God's house.”
vigilate et custodite, donec appendatis coram principibus sacerdotum, et Levitarum, et ducibus familiarum Israël in Jerusalem, in thesaurum domus Domini.
30 The priests and the Levites accepted the weighed silver, gold, and the objects in order to take them to Jerusalem, to our God's house.
Susceperunt autem sacerdotes et Levitæ pondus argenti, et auri, et vasorum, ut deferrent Jerusalem in domum Dei nostri.
31 We went out from the Ahava Canal on the twelfth day of the first month to go to Jerusalem. The hand of our God was on us; he protected us from the hand of the enemy and the ones who wished to ambush us along the road.
Promovimus ergo a flumine Ahava duodecimo die mensis primi ut pergeremus Jerusalem: et manus Dei nostri fuit super nos, et liberavit nos de manu inimici et insidiatoris in via.
32 So we entered Jerusalem and stayed there for three days.
Et venimus Jerusalem, et mansimus ibi tribus diebus.
33 Then on the fourth day the silver, gold, and objects were weighed out in our God's house into the hand of Meremoth son of Uriah the priest, and with him were Eleazar son of Phinehas, Jozabad son of Jeshua, and Noadiah son of Binnui the Levite.
Die autem quarta appensum est argentum, et aurum, et vasa in domo Dei nostri per manum Meremoth filii Uriæ sacerdotis, et cum eo Eleazar filius Phinees, cumque eis Jozabed filius Josue, et Noadaia filius Bennoi Levitæ,
34 The number and weight of everything was determined. All the weight was written down at that time.
juxta numerum et pondus omnium: descriptumque est omne pondus in tempore illo.
35 The ones who came back from the captivity, the people of exile, offered burnt offerings to the God of Israel: twelve bulls for all of Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, and twelve male goats as a sin offering. All were a burnt offering for Yahweh.
Sed et qui venerant de captivitate filii transmigrationis, obtulerunt holocautomata Deo Israël, vitulos duodecim pro omni populo Israël, arietes nonaginta sex, agnos septuaginta septem, hircos pro peccato duodecim: omnia in holocaustum Domino.
36 Then they gave the king's decrees to the king's high officials and the governors in the Province Beyond the River, and they helped the people and the house of God.
Dederunt autem edicta regis satrapis qui erant de conspectu regis, et ducibus trans flumen, et elevaverunt populum et domum Dei.
