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 gather them unto the river that is going unto Ahava, and we encamp there three days; and I consider about the people, and about the priests, and of the sons of Levi I have 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.
and I send for Eliezer, for Ariel, for Shemaiah, and for Elnathan, and for Jarib, and for Elnathan, and for Nathan, and for Zechariah, and for Meshullam, heads, and for Joiarib, 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 charge them for Iddo the head, in the place Casiphia, and put in their mouth words to speak unto Iddo, [and] his brethren the Nethinim, in the place Casiphia, to bring to us ministrants 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 bring to us, according to the good hand of our God upon us, a man of understanding, of the sons of Mahli, son of Levi, son of Israel, and Sherebiah, and his sons, and his brethren, eighteen;
19 et Hasabiam, et cum eo Isaiam de filiis Merari, fratresque eius, et filios eius viginti:
and Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah, of the sons of Merari, his brethren, and their sons, twenty;
20 et de Nathinaeis, quos dederat David et principes ad ministeria Levitarum, Nathinaeos ducentos viginti: omnes hi suis nominibus vocabantur.
and from the Nethinim, whom David and the heads gave for the service of the Levites, two hundred and twenty Nethinim, all of them defined by name.
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.
And I proclaim there a fast, by the river Ahava, to afflict ourselves before our God, to seek from Him a right way for us, and for our infants, 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 from the king a force and horsemen to help us because of the enemy in the way, for we spake to the king, saying, 'The hand of our God [is] upon all seeking Him for good, and His strength and His wrath [is] upon all forsaking Him.'
23 Ieiunavimus autem, et rogavimus Deum nostrum per hoc: et evenit nobis prospere.
And we fast, and seek from our God for this, and He is entreated of us.
24 Et separavi de principibus Sacerdotum duodecim, Sarabiam, et Hasabiam, et cum eis de fratribus eorum decem.
And I separate from the heads of the priests, twelve, even Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and with them of their brethren ten,
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 weigh to them the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, a heave-offering of the house of our God, that the king, and his counsellors, and his heads, and all Israel — those present — lifted up;
26 et appendi in manibus eorum argenti talenta sexcenta quinquaginta, et vasa argentea centum, auri centum talenta:
and I weigh to their hand, of silver, talents six hundred and fifty, and of vessels of silver a hundred talents, of gold a hundred talents,
27 et crateres aureos viginti, qui habebant solidos millenos, et vasa aeris fulgentis optimi duo, pulchra, ut aurum.
and basins of gold twenty, of a thousand drams, and two vessels of good shining brass, desirable 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 say unto them, 'Ye [are] holy to Jehovah, and the vessels [are] holy, and the silver and the gold [are] a willing-offering to Jehovah, 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, and keep, till ye weigh before the heads of the priests, and of the Levites, and the heads of the fathers of Israel, in Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of Jehovah.'
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 took the weight of the silver, and of the gold, and of the vessels, to bring 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 journey from the river Ahava, on the twelfth of the first month, to go to Jerusalem, and the hand of our God hath been upon us, and He delivereth us from the hand of the enemy and the lier in wait by the way;
32 Et venimus Ierusalem, et mansimus ibi tribus diebus.
and we come in to Jerusalem, and dwell 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 hath been weighed the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, in the house of our God, unto the hand of Meremoth son of Uriah the priest, and with him Eleazar son of Phinehas, and with them Jozabad son of Jeshua, and Noadiah son of Binnui, the Levites:
34 iuxta numerum et pondus omnium: descriptumque est omne pondus in tempore illo.
by number, by weight of every one, and all the weight is written at that 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 coming in of the captives — sons of the removal — have brought near burnt-offerings to the God of Israel, bullocks twelve, for all Israel, rams ninety and six, lambs seventy and seven, young he-goats for a sin-offering twelve — the whole a burnt-offering to Jehovah;
36 Dederunt autem edicta regis satrapis, qui erant de conspectu regis et ducibus trans Flumen, et elevaverunt populum et domum Dei.
and they give the laws of the king to the lieutenants of the king and the governors beyond the river, and they have lifted up the people and the house of God.
