15 congregavi autem eos ad fluvium qui decurrit ad Ahavva et mansimus ibi diebus tribus quaesivique in populo et in sacerdotibus de filiis Levi et non inveni ibi
Now I gathered them together at the river that runs down to Ahava, and we stayed there for three days. And I sought among the people and among the priests for the sons of Levi, and I found none there.
16 itaque misi Heliezer et Arihel et Semeam et Helnathan et Iarib et alterum Helnathan et Nathan et Zacchariam et Mesolam principes et Ioarib et Helnathan sapientes
And so I sent Eliezer, and Ariel, and Shemaiah, and Elnathan, and Jarib, and another Elnathan, and Nathan, and Zechariah, and Meshullam, who were leaders, and Joiarib and Elnathan, who were wise.
17 et misi eos ad Heddo qui est primus in Casphiae loco et posui in ore eorum verba quae loquerentur ad Addom et ad fratres eius Nathinneos in loco Casphiae ut adducerent nobis ministros domus Dei nostri
And I sent them to Iddo, who is first within the place of Casiphia. And I placed in their mouth the words that they should speak to Iddo and his brothers, the temple servants, in the place of Casiphia, so that they would lead to us ministers for the house of our God.
18 et adduxerunt nobis per manum Dei nostri bonam super nos virum doctissimum de filiis Moolli filii Levi filii Israhel et Sarabiam et filios eius et fratres eius decem et octo
And because the good hand of our God was over us, they led to us a very learned man from the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel, with Sherebiah, and his sons, and his eighteen brothers,
19 et Asabiam et cum eo Isaiam de filiis Merari fratres eius et filios eius viginti
and Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah, of the sons of Merari, and his brothers, and his sons, numbering twenty.
20 et de Nathinneis quos dederat David et principes ad ministeria Levitarum Nathinneos ducentos viginti omnes hii suis nominibus vocabantur
And from the temple servants, whom David, and the leaders had provided for the ministry of the Levites, there were two hundred twenty temple servants. All these were called by their names.
21 et praedicavi ibi ieiunium iuxta fluvium Ahavva ut adfligeremur coram Domino Deo nostro et peteremus ab eo viam rectam nobis et filiis nostris universaeque substantiae nostrae
And I proclaimed a fast in that place, beside the river Ahava, so that we might afflict ourselves in the sight of the Lord our God, and so that we might request of him the right way for us, and for our sons, and for all our substance.
22 erubui enim petere regem 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 petition the king for assistance and for horsemen, who would defend us from the enemy along the way. For we had said to the king: “The hand of our God is over all those who seek him in goodness. And his authority, and his strength and fury, is over all those who forsake him.”
23 ieiunavimus autem et rogavimus Deum nostrum pro hoc et evenit nobis prospere
And so we fasted and begged our God for this; and as a result, we prospered.
24 et separavi de principibus sacerdotum duodecim Sarabian Asabian et cum eis de fratribus eorum decem
And I separated twelve from among the leaders of the priests: Sherebiah, and Hashabiah, and with them ten of their brothers.
25 adpendique eis argentum et aurum et vasa consecrata domus Dei nostri quae obtulerat rex et consiliatores eius et principes eius universusque Israhel eorum qui inventi fuerant
And I weighed out to them the silver and the gold, and the vessels consecrated to the house of our God, which had been offered by the king, and by his counselors and his leaders, and by all those of Israel who had been found.
26 et adpendi in manibus eorum argenti talenta sescenta quinquaginta et vasa argentea centum auri centum talenta
And I weighed out to their hands six hundred fifty talents of silver, and one hundred vessels of silver, and one hundred talents of gold,
27 et crateras aureos viginti qui habebant solidos millenos et vasa aeris fulgentis optimi duo pulchra ut aurum
and twenty gold bowls which had the weight of one thousand coins, and two vessels of the finest shining brass, as beautiful as gold.
28 et dixi eis vos sancti Domini et vasa sancta et argentum et aurum quod sponte oblatum est Domino Deo patrum vestrorum
And I said to them: “You are the holy ones of the Lord, and the vessels are holy, with the silver and the gold, which has been offered freely to the Lord, the God of our fathers.
29 vigilate et custodite donec adpendatis coram principibus sacerdotum et Levitarum et ducibus familiarum Israhel in Hierusalem et thesaurum domus Domini
Watch and guard them, until you weigh them out before the leaders of the priests and the Levites, and the rulers of the families of Israel in Jerusalem, into the treasury of the house of the Lord.”
30 susceperunt autem sacerdotes et Levitae pondus argenti et auri et vasorum ut deferrent in Hierusalem in domum Dei nostri
Then the priests and the Levites received the weight of the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, so that they might carry these to Jerusalem, into the house of our God.
31 promovimus ergo a flumine Ahavva duodecimo die mensis primi ut pergeremus Hierusalem et manus Dei nostri fuit super nos et liberavit nos de manu inimici et insidiatoris in via
Therefore, we set out from the river Ahava, on the twelfth day of the first month, so that we might travel to Jerusalem. And the hand of our God was over us, and he freed us from the hand of the enemy and of those who lay in ambush along the way.
32 et venimus Hierusalem et mansimus ibi diebus tribus
And we arrived at Jerusalem, and we stayed there for three days.
33 die autem quarta adpensum est argentum et aurum et vasa in domo Dei nostri per manum Meremoth filii Uriae sacerdotis et cum eo Eleazar filius Finees cumque eis Iozaded filius Iosue et Noadaia filius Bennoi Levitae
Then, on the fourth day, the silver and the gold and the vessels were weighed out in the house of our God, by the hand of Meremoth, the son of Uriah, the priest; and with him was Eleazar, the son of Phinehas, and with them were the Levites, Jozabad, the son of Jeshua, and Noadiah, the son of Binnui.
34 iuxta numerum et pondus omnium descriptumque est omne pondus in tempore illo
This was done according to the number and weight of everything; and every weight was written down at that time.
35 sed et qui venerant de captivitate filii transmigrationis obtulerunt holocaustomata Deo Israhel vitulos duodecim pro omni Israhel arietes nonaginta sex agnos septuaginta septem hircos pro peccato duodecim omnia in holocaustum Domino
Moreover, those who came from the captivity, the sons of the transmigration, offered holocausts to the God of Israel: twelve calves on behalf of all the people of Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, and twelve he-goats for sin. All these were a holocaust to the Lord.
36 dederunt autem edicta regis satrapis qui erant de conspectu regis et ducibus trans Flumen et elevaverunt populum et domum Dei
Then they gave the edicts of the king to the rulers who served in the sight of the king, and to the governors beyond the river, and they exalted the people and the house of God.
