And of the sons of Bigvai, 'Uthai, and Zabbur, and with them were seventy males.
15 Congregavi autem eos ad fluvium, qui decurrit ad Ahava, et mansimus ibi tribus diebus: quaesivique in populo et in sacerdotibus de filiis Levi, et non inveni ibi.
And I gathered them together to the river that runneth into the Ahava, and we encamped there three days: and I looked about among the people, and the priests, but of the sons of Levi I found none there.
16 Itaque misi Eliezer, et Ariel, et Semeiam, et Elnathan, et Iarib, et alterum Elnathan, et Nathan, et Zachariam, et Mosollam principes: et Ioiarib, et Elnathan sapientes.
Then sent I for Eli'ezer, for Ariel, for Shema'yah, and for Elnathan, and for Jarib, and for Elnathan, and for Nathan, and for Zechariah, and for Meshullam, the head men; also for Joyarib, and for Elnathan, men of understanding.
17 Et misi eos ad Eddo, qui est primus in Casphiae loco, et posui in ore eorum verba, quae loquerentur ad Eddo, et fratres eius Nathinaeos in loco Casphiae ut adducerent nobis ministros domus Dei nostri.
And I sent them with a charge unto Iddo the chief at the place Cassiphia, and I laid the words in their mouth to speak unto Iddo, and to his brother, who were appointed at the place Cassiphia, that they should bring unto us ministers for the house of our God.
18 Et adduxerunt nobis per manum Dei nostri bonam super nos, virum doctissimum de filiis Moholi filii Levi filii Israel, et Sarabiam et filios eius et fratres eius decem et octo,
And they brought unto us according to the good hand of our God upon us a man of intelligence, of the sons of Machli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel, namely, Sherebyah, with his sons and his brothers, eighteen;
19 et Hasabiam, et cum eo Isaiam de filiis Merari, fratresque eius, et filios eius viginti:
And Chashabyah, and with him Jesha'yah of the sons of Merari, his brothers and their sons, twenty.
20 et de Nathinaeis, quos dederat David et principes ad ministeria Levitarum, Nathinaeos ducentos viginti: omnes hi suis nominibus vocabantur.
Also of the temple-servants, whom David and the princes had assigned for the service of the Levites two hundred and twenty temple-servants, all of whom were expressed by names.
21 Et praedicavi ibi ieiunium iuxta fluvium Ahava ut affligeremur coram Domino Deo nostro, et peteremus ab eo viam rectam nobis et filiis nostris, universaeque substantiae nostrae.
Then did I proclaim a fast there, at the river Ahava, that we might afflict ourselves before our God, to request from him a prosperous journey for us, and for our little ones, and for all our substance.
22 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 quaerunt eum in bonitate: et imperium eius et fortitudo eius, et furor super omnes, qui derelinquunt eum.
For I was ashamed to ask of the king an army and horsemen to assist us against an enemy on the way; because we had spoken unto the king, saying, The hand of our God is upon all those that seek him for good; but his power and his wrath are against all those that forsake him.
23 Ieiunavimus autem, et rogavimus Deum nostrum per hoc: et evenit nobis prospere.
So we fasted and besought our God for this, and he suffered himself to be entreated by us.
24 Et separavi de principibus Sacerdotum duodecim, Sarabiam, et Hasabiam, et cum eis de fratribus eorum decem.
Then set I apart of the chiefs of the priests twelve persons, Sherebyah, Chashabyah, and with them ten of their brethren.
25 appendique eis argentum et aurum, et vasa consecrata domus Dei nostri, quae obtulerat rex et consiliatores eius, et principes eius, universusque Israel eorum, qui inventi fuerant:
And I weighed out unto them the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, the offering for the house of our God, which the king, and his counsellors, and his princes, and all Israel there present, had offered.
26 et appendi in manibus eorum argenti talenta sexcenta quinquaginta, et vasa argentea centum, auri centum talenta:
And I weighed out into their hand of silver six hundred and fifty talents, and of silver vessels one hundred talents, of gold one hundred talents;
27 et crateres aureos viginti, qui habebant solidos millenos, et vasa aeris fulgentis optimi duo, pulchra, ut aurum.
Also twenty cups of gold, of a thousand drachms; and two vessels of fine polished copper, valuable as gold.
28 Et dixi eis: Vos sancti Domini, et vasa sancta, et argentum et aurum, quod sponte oblatum est Domino Deo patrum nostrorum:
And I said unto them, Ye are holy unto the Lord; and the vessels are holy; and the silver and the gold are a freewill offering unto the Lord the God of your fathers.
29 vigilate et custodite, donec appendatis coram principibus Sacerdotum, et Levitarum, et ducibus familiarum Israel in Ierusalem, in thesaurum domus Domini.
Watch ye, and guard them, until ye weigh them out before the chiefs of the priests and the Levites, and the chiefs of the divisions of Israel, at Jerusalem, into the chambers of the house of the Lord.
30 Susceperunt autem Sacerdotes et Levitae pondus argenti, et auri, et vasorum ut deferrent Ierusalem in domum Dei nostri.
And the priests and the Levites accepted what was weighed out of the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, to bring the same to Jerusalem to the house of our God.
31 Promovimus ergo a flumine Ahava duodecimo die mensis primi ut pergeremus Ierusalem: et manus Dei nostri fuit super nos, et liberavit nos de manu inimici et insidiatoris in via.
And we departed from the river Ahava on the twelfth day of the first month, to go unto Jerusalem: and the hand of our God was over us, and he delivered us from the hand of any enemy, and of such as lie in wait on the way.
32 Et venimus Ierusalem, et mansimus ibi tribus diebus.
And we came to Jerusalem, and remained there three days.
33 Die autem quarta appensum est argentum, et aurum, et vasa in domo Dei nostri per manum Meremoth filii Uriae Sacerdotis, et cum eo Eleazar filius Phinees, cumque eis Iozabed filius Iosue, et Noadaia filius Bennoi Levitae,
And on the fourth day were the silver and the gold and the vessels weighed out in the house of our God into the hand of Meremoth the son of Uriyah the priest; and with him was El'azar the son of Phinehas; and with them was Jozabad the son of Jeshua', and No'adyah the son of Binnui, the Levites;
34 iuxta numerum et pondus omnium: descriptumque est omne pondus in tempore illo.
By number and by weight of everything: and all the weight was written down at the same time.
35 Sed et qui venerant de captivitate filii transmigrationis, obtulerunt holocaustomata Deo Israel, vitulos duodecim pro omni populo Israel, arietes nonaginta sex, agnos septuaginta septem, hircos pro peccato, duodecim: omnia in holocaustum Domino.
Those that came out of the captivity, the children of the exile, offered burnt-offerings unto the God of Israel, twelve bullocks for all Israel, ninety and six rams, seventy and seven sheep, twelve he-goats for a sin-offering: all as burnt-offerings unto the Lord.
36 Dederunt autem edicta regis satrapis, qui erant de conspectu regis et ducibus trans Flumen, et elevaverunt populum et domum Dei.
And they delivered the king's commands unto the king's lieutenants, and to the governors on this side of the river; and these endowed the people, and the house of God.
