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

And I gathered them together at the river that runs to Ahava; and there we encamped three days; and I surveyed the people and the priests, and found none of the sons of Levi 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 I sent for Eliezer, for Ariel, for Shemaiah, and for Elnathan, and for Jarib, and for Elnathan, and for Nathan, and for Zechariah, and for Meshullam, chief men, and for Joiarib and for Elnathan, men of understanding.

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 gave them a commission to Iddo the chief, at the place Casiphia, and I put words in their mouths to say to Iddo [and] his brethren the Nethinim, at the place Casiphia, that they should bring 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 by the good hand of our God upon us, they brought us a man of understanding, of the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel, namely, Sherebiah, with his sons and his brethren, eighteen;

19 et Asabiam et cum eo Isaiam de filiis Merari fratres eius et filios eius viginti

and Hashabiah, and with him Isaiah of the sons of Merari, his brethren and their sons, twenty;

20 et de Nathinneis quos dederat David et principes ad ministeria Levitarum Nathinneos ducentos viginti omnes hii suis nominibus vocabantur

and of the Nethinim, whom David and the princes had appointed for the service of the Levites, two hundred and twenty Nethinim: all of them were expressed by name.

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 there, at the river Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God, to seek of him a right way for us, and for our little ones, 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 require of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way; for we had spoken to the king saying, The hand of our God is upon all them for good that seek him; but his power and his anger is against all them that forsake him.

23 ieiunavimus autem et rogavimus Deum nostrum pro hoc et evenit nobis prospere

And we fasted, and besought our God for this; and he was entreated of us.

24 et separavi de principibus sacerdotum duodecim Sarabian Asabian et cum eis de fratribus eorum decem

And I separated twelve of the chiefs of the priests, Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brethren with them,

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 to them the silver and the gold and the vessels, the heave-offering for the house of our God, which the king and his counsellors and his princes, and all Israel present, had offered.

26 et adpendi in manibus eorum argenti talenta sescenta quinquaginta et vasa argentea centum auri centum talenta

And I weighed into their hand six hundred and fifty talents of silver; and silver vessels a hundred talents, [and] of gold a hundred talents;

27 et crateras aureos viginti qui habebant solidos millenos et vasa aeris fulgentis optimi duo pulchra ut aurum

and twenty basons of gold, of a thousand darics; and two vessels of shining copper, precious 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, Ye are holy unto Jehovah; the vessels also are holy; and the silver and the gold is a voluntary offering to Jehovah the God of your fathers.

29 vigilate et custodite donec adpendatis coram principibus sacerdotum et Levitarum et ducibus familiarum Israhel in Hierusalem et thesaurum domus Domini

Watch and keep [them] until ye weigh them before the chiefs of the priests and the Levites, and the chiefs of the fathers of Israel, at Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of Jehovah.

30 susceperunt autem sacerdotes et Levitae pondus argenti et auri et vasorum ut deferrent in Hierusalem in domum Dei nostri

And the priests and the Levites received by weight the silver and the gold and the vessels, to bring them to Jerusalem unto 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

And we departed from the river Ahava on the twelfth of the first month, to go to Jerusalem; and the hand of our God was upon us, and he delivered us from the hand of the enemy, and of such as lay in wait by the way.

32 et venimus Hierusalem et mansimus ibi diebus tribus

And we came to Jerusalem, and abode there 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

And 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 Urijah 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, Levites:

34 iuxta numerum et pondus omnium descriptumque est omne pondus in tempore illo

the whole by number and by weight; and all the 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

The children of those that had been carried away, who had come out of the captivity, presented burnt-offerings to the God of Israel, twelve bullocks for all Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, twelve he-goats for a sin-offering: all for 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 delivered the king's edicts to the king's satraps, and to the governors on this side the river. And they furthered the people and the house of God.
