Ezra 8
1 Now these are the heads of their fathers’ households, and this is the genealogy of those who went up with me from Babylon, in the reign of Artaxerxes the king:
καὶ οὗτοι οἱ ἄρχοντες πατριῶν αὐτῶν οἱ ὁδηγοὶ ἀναβαίνοντες μετ’ ἐμοῦ ἐν βασιλείᾳ Αρθασασθα τοῦ βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος
2 Of the sons of Phinehas, Gershom. Of the sons of Ithamar, Daniel. Of the sons of David, Hattush.
ἀπὸ υἱῶν Φινεες Γηρσωμ ἀπὸ υἱῶν Ιθαμαρ Δανιηλ ἀπὸ υἱῶν Δαυιδ Ατους
3 Of the sons of Shecaniah, of the sons of Parosh, Zechariah; and with him were listed by genealogy of the males one hundred and fifty.
ἀπὸ υἱῶν Σαχανια ἀπὸ υἱῶν Φορος Ζαχαριας καὶ μετ’ αὐτοῦ τὸ σύστρεμμα ἑκατὸν καὶ πεντήκοντα
4 Of the sons of Pahathmoab, Eliehoenai the son of Zerahiah; and with him two hundred males.
ἀπὸ υἱῶν Φααθμωαβ Ελιανα υἱὸς Ζαραια καὶ μετ’ αὐτοῦ διακόσιοι τὰ ἀρσενικά
5 Of the sons of Shecaniah, the son of Jahaziel; and with him three hundred males.
ἀπὸ υἱῶν Ζαθοης Σεχενιας υἱὸς Αζιηλ καὶ μετ’ αὐτοῦ τριακόσιοι τὰ ἀρσενικά
6 Of the sons of Adin, Ebed the son of Jonathan; and with him fifty males.
καὶ ἀπὸ υἱῶν Αδιν Ωβηθ υἱὸς Ιωναθαν καὶ μετ’ αὐτοῦ πεντήκοντα τὰ ἀρσενικά
7 Of the sons of Elam, Jeshaiah the son of Athaliah; and with him seventy males.
καὶ ἀπὸ υἱῶν Ηλαμ Ιεσια υἱὸς Αθελια καὶ μετ’ αὐτοῦ ἑβδομήκοντα τὰ ἀρσενικά
8 Of the sons of Shephatiah, Zebadiah the son of Michael; and with him eighty males.
καὶ ἀπὸ υἱῶν Σαφατια Ζαβδια υἱὸς Μιχαηλ καὶ μετ’ αὐτοῦ ὀγδοήκοντα τὰ ἀρσενικά
9 Of the sons of Joab, Obadiah the son of Jehiel; and with him two hundred and eighteen males.
καὶ ἀπὸ υἱῶν Ιωαβ Αβαδια υἱὸς Ιιηλ καὶ μετ’ αὐτοῦ διακόσιοι δέκα ὀκτὼ τὰ ἀρσενικά
10 Of the sons of Shelomith, the son of Josiphiah; and with him one hundred and sixty males.
καὶ ἀπὸ υἱῶν Βαανι Σαλιμουθ υἱὸς Ιωσεφια καὶ μετ’ αὐτοῦ ἑκατὸν ἑξήκοντα τὰ ἀρσενικά
11 Of the sons of Bebai, Zechariah the son of Bebai; and with him twenty-eight males.
καὶ ἀπὸ υἱῶν Βαβι Ζαχαρια υἱὸς Βαβι καὶ μετ’ αὐτοῦ ἑβδομήκοντα ὀκτὼ τὰ ἀρσενικά
12 Of the sons of Azgad, Johanan the son of Hakkatan; and with him one hundred and ten males.
καὶ ἀπὸ υἱῶν Ασγαδ Ιωαναν υἱὸς Ακαταν καὶ μετ’ αὐτοῦ ἑκατὸν δέκα τὰ ἀρσενικά
13 Of the sons of Adonikam, who were the last, their names are: Eliphelet, Jeuel, and Shemaiah; and with them sixty males.
καὶ ἀπὸ υἱῶν Αδωνικαμ ἔσχατοι καὶ ταῦτα τὰ ὀνόματα αὐτῶν Αλιφαλατ Ιιηλ καὶ Σαμαια καὶ μετ’ αὐτῶν ἑξήκοντα τὰ ἀρσενικά
14 Of the sons of Bigvai, Uthai and Zabbud; and with them seventy males.
καὶ ἀπὸ υἱῶν Βαγο Ουθι καὶ μετ’ αὐτοῦ ἑβδομήκοντα τὰ ἀρσενικά
15 I gathered them together to the river that runs to Ahava; and there we encamped three days. Then I looked around at the people and the priests, and found there were none of the sons of Levi.
καὶ συνῆξα αὐτοὺς πρὸς τὸν ποταμὸν τὸν ἐρχόμενον πρὸς τὸν Ευι καὶ παρενεβάλομεν ἐκεῖ ἡμέρας τρεῖς καὶ συνῆκα ἐν τῷ λαῷ καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἱερεῦσιν καὶ ἀπὸ υἱῶν Λευι οὐχ εὗρον ἐκεῖ
16 Then I sent for Eliezer, for Ariel, for Shemaiah, for Elnathan, for Jarib, for Elnathan, for Nathan, for Zechariah, and for Meshullam, chief men; also for Joiarib and for Elnathan, who were teachers.
καὶ ἀπέστειλα τῷ Ελεαζαρ τῷ Αριηλ τῷ Σαμαια καὶ τῷ Αλωναμ καὶ τῷ Ιαριβ καὶ τῷ Ελναθαν καὶ τῷ Ναθαν καὶ τῷ Ζαχαρια καὶ τῷ Μεσουλαμ ἄνδρας καὶ τῷ Ιωαριβ καὶ τῷ Ελναθαν συνίοντας
17 I sent them out to Iddo the chief at the place Casiphia; and I told them what they should tell Iddo and his brothers the temple servants at the place Casiphia, that they should bring to us ministers for the house of our God.
καὶ ἐξήνεγκα αὐτοὺς ἐπὶ ἄρχοντος ἐν ἀργυρίῳ τοῦ τόπου καὶ ἔθηκα ἐν στόματι αὐτῶν λόγους λαλῆσαι πρὸς τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτῶν τοὺς ναθινιμ ἐν ἀργυρίῳ τοῦ τόπου τοῦ ἐνέγκαι ἡμῖν ᾄδοντας εἰς οἶκον θεοῦ ἡμῶν
18 According to the good hand of our God on us they brought us a man of discretion, of the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel, namely Sherebiah, with his sons and his brothers, eighteen;
καὶ ἤλθοσαν ἡμῖν ὡς χεὶρ θεοῦ ἡμῶν ἀγαθὴ ἐφ’ ἡμᾶς ἀνὴρ σαχωλ ἀπὸ υἱῶν Μοολι υἱοῦ Λευι υἱοῦ Ισραηλ καὶ ἀρχὴν ἤλθοσαν υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ ὀκτωκαίδεκα
19 and Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah of the sons of Merari, his brothers and their sons, twenty;
καὶ τὸν Ασεβια καὶ τὸν Ωσαιαν ἀπὸ υἱῶν Μεραρι ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ υἱοὶ αὐτῶν εἴκοσι
20 and of the temple servants, whom David and the princes had given for the service of the Levites, two hundred and twenty temple servants. All of them were mentioned by name.
καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ναθινιμ ὧν ἔδωκεν Δαυιδ καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες εἰς δουλείαν τῶν Λευιτῶν ναθινιμ διακόσιοι καὶ εἴκοσι πάντες συνήχθησαν ἐν ὀνόμασιν
21 Then I proclaimed a fast there at the river Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God, to seek from him a straight way for us, for our little ones, and for all our possessions.
καὶ ἐκάλεσα ἐκεῖ νηστείαν ἐπὶ τὸν ποταμὸν Αουε τοῦ ταπεινωθῆναι ἐνώπιον θεοῦ ἡμῶν ζητῆσαι παρ’ αὐτοῦ ὁδὸν εὐθεῖαν ἡμῖν καὶ τοῖς τέκνοις ἡμῶν καὶ πάσῃ τῇ κτήσει ἡμῶν
22 For I was ashamed to ask of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy on the way, because we had spoken to the king, saying, “The hand of our God is on all those who seek him, for good; but his power and his wrath is against all those who forsake him.”
ὅτι ᾐσχύνθην αἰτήσασθαι παρὰ τοῦ βασιλέως δύναμιν καὶ ἱππεῖς σῶσαι ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ ἐχθροῦ ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ ὅτι εἴπαμεν τῷ βασιλεῖ λέγοντες χεὶρ τοῦ θεοῦ ἡμῶν ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς ζητοῦντας αὐτὸν εἰς ἀγαθόν καὶ κράτος αὐτοῦ καὶ θυμὸς αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ πάντας ἐγκαταλείποντας αὐτόν
23 So we fasted and begged our God for this, and he granted our request.
καὶ ἐνηστεύσαμεν καὶ ἐζητήσαμεν παρὰ τοῦ θεοῦ ἡμῶν περὶ τούτου καὶ ἐπήκουσεν ἡμῖν
24 Then I set apart twelve of the chiefs of the priests, even Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brothers with them,
καὶ διέστειλα ἀπὸ ἀρχόντων τῶν ἱερέων δώδεκα τῷ Σαραια Ασαβια καὶ μετ’ αὐτῶν ἀπὸ ἀδελφῶν αὐτῶν δέκα
25 and weighed to them the silver, the gold, and the vessels, even the offering for the house of our God, which the king, his counsellors, his princes, and all Israel there present, had offered.
καὶ ἔστησα αὐτοῖς τὸ ἀργύριον καὶ τὸ χρυσίον καὶ τὰ σκεύη ἀπαρχῆς οἴκου θεοῦ ἡμῶν ἃ ὕψωσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ οἱ σύμβουλοι αὐτοῦ καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες αὐτοῦ καὶ πᾶς Ισραηλ οἱ εὑρισκόμενοι
26 I weighed into their hand six hundred and fifty talents of silver, one hundred talents of silver vessels, one hundred talents of gold,
καὶ ἔστησα ἐπὶ χεῖρας αὐτῶν ἀργυρίου τάλαντα ἑξακόσια καὶ πεντήκοντα καὶ σκεύη ἀργυρᾶ ἑκατὸν καὶ τάλαντα χρυσίου ἑκατὸν
27 twenty bowls of gold weighing one thousand darics, and two vessels of fine bright bronze, precious as gold.
καὶ καφουρη χρυσοῖ εἴκοσι εἰς τὴν ὁδὸν χαμανιμ χίλιοι καὶ σκεύη χαλκοῦ στίλβοντος ἀγαθοῦ διάφορα ἐπιθυμητὰ ἐν χρυσίῳ
28 I said to them, “You are holy to the LORD, and the vessels are holy. The silver and the gold are a free will offering to the LORD, the God of your fathers.
καὶ εἶπα πρὸς αὐτούς ὑμεῖς ἅγιοι τῷ κυρίῳ καὶ τὰ σκεύη ἅγια καὶ τὸ ἀργύριον καὶ τὸ χρυσίον ἑκούσια τῷ κυρίῳ θεῷ πατέρων ὑμῶν
29 Watch and keep them until you weigh them before the chiefs of the priests, the Levites, and the princes of the fathers’ households of Israel at Jerusalem, in the rooms of the LORD’s house.”
ἀγρυπνεῖτε καὶ τηρεῖτε ἕως στῆτε ἐνώπιον ἀρχόντων τῶν ἱερέων καὶ τῶν Λευιτῶν καὶ τῶν ἀρχόντων τῶν πατριῶν ἐν Ιερουσαλημ εἰς σκηνὰς οἴκου κυρίου
30 So the priests and the Levites received the weight of the silver, the gold, and the vessels, to bring them to Jerusalem to the house of our God.
καὶ ἐδέξαντο οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ οἱ Λευῖται σταθμὸν τοῦ ἀργυρίου καὶ τοῦ χρυσίου καὶ τῶν σκευῶν ἐνεγκεῖν εἰς Ιερουσαλημ εἰς οἶκον θεοῦ ἡμῶν
31 Then we departed from the river Ahava on the twelfth day of the first month, to go to Jerusalem. The hand of our God was on us, and he delivered us from the hand of the enemy and the bandits by the way.
καὶ ἐξήραμεν ἀπὸ τοῦ ποταμοῦ Αουε ἐν τῇ δωδεκάτῃ τοῦ μηνὸς τοῦ πρώτου τοῦ ἐλθεῖν εἰς Ιερουσαλημ καὶ χεὶρ θεοῦ ἡμῶν ἦν ἐφ’ ἡμῖν καὶ ἐρρύσατο ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ χειρὸς ἐχθροῦ καὶ πολεμίου ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ
32 We came to Jerusalem, and stayed there three days.
καὶ ἤλθομεν εἰς Ιερουσαλημ καὶ ἐκαθίσαμεν ἐκεῖ ἡμέρας τρεῖς
33 On the fourth day the silver and the gold and the vessels were weighed in the house of our God into the hand of Meremoth the son of Uriah the priest; and with him was Eleazar the son of Phinehas; and with them were Jozabad the son of Jeshua, and Noadiah the son of Binnui, the Levites.
καὶ ἐγενήθη τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τετάρτῃ ἐστήσαμεν τὸ ἀργύριον καὶ τὸ χρυσίον καὶ τὰ σκεύη ἐν οἴκῳ θεοῦ ἡμῶν ἐπὶ χεῖρα Μεριμωθ υἱοῦ Ουρια τοῦ ἱερέως καὶ μετ’ αὐτοῦ Ελεαζαρ υἱὸς Φινεες καὶ μετ’ αὐτῶν Ιωζαβαδ υἱὸς Ἰησοῦ καὶ Νωαδια υἱὸς Βαναια οἱ Λευῖται
34 Everything was counted and weighed; and all the weight was written at that time.
ἐν ἀριθμῷ καὶ ἐν σταθμῷ τὰ πάντα καὶ ἐγράφη πᾶς ὁ σταθμός ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ
35 The children of the captivity, who had come out of exile, offered burnt offerings to the God of Israel: twelve bulls for all Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, and twelve male goats for a sin offering. All this was a burnt offering to the LORD.
οἱ ἐλθόντες ἀπὸ τῆς αἰχμαλωσίας υἱοὶ τῆς παροικίας προσήνεγκαν ὁλοκαυτώσεις τῷ θεῷ Ισραηλ μόσχους δώδεκα περὶ παντὸς Ισραηλ κριοὺς ἐνενήκοντα ἕξ ἀμνοὺς ἑβδομήκοντα καὶ ἑπτά χιμάρους περὶ ἁμαρτίας δώδεκα τὰ πάντα ὁλοκαυτώματα τῷ κυρίῳ
36 They delivered the king’s commissions to the king’s local governors and to the governors beyond the River. So they supported the people and God’s house.
καὶ ἔδωκαν τὸ νόμισμα τοῦ βασιλέως τοῖς διοικηταῖς τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ ἐπάρχοις πέραν τοῦ ποταμοῦ καὶ ἐδόξασαν τὸν λαὸν καὶ τὸν οἶκον τοῦ θεοῦ
