22 Elijašiba, Jojada, Jehohanana un Jaduūs dienās levitu cilts virsnieki tapa uzrakstīti un priesteri apakš Dārija, tā Persieša, valdīšanas.
During the years that Eliashib, Joiada, Johanan, and Jaddua [were Supreme Priests], they (wrote/kept a list of) the names of the clans who were descendants of Levi. When Darius was the king of Persia, they stopped writing that list.
23 Levja bērnu cilts virsnieki laiku grāmatā ir sarakstīti līdz Jehohanana, Elijašiba dēla, dienām.
They wrote the names of the leaders of the clans who were descendants of Levi in the Book of Events [in Israel], but they stopped writing those names when Eliashib’s grandson Johanan [was the Supreme Priest].
24 Bet levitu virsnieki bija šie: Hašabija, Šerebija un Ješuūs, Kadmiēļa dēls, un viņu brāļi bija viņiem klāt, slavēt un teikt, pēc Dieva vīra Dāvida likuma, ikkatrs savu laiku.
These are the leaders of the clans [who are] descendants of Levi: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel and others who were divided into two groups. The two groups faced each other, one group replying to the other, during the time that they praised and thanked God. They did that just as King David, the man who served God well, had instructed.
25 Matanija un Bukbaķija, Obadijus, Mešulams, Talmons, Akubs, tie bija vārtu sargi, sargāt mantas namus pie vārtiem.
These singers included Mattaniah, Bakbukiah, and Obadiah. The men who guarded the storerooms close to the gates [of the temple] were Meshullam, Talmon, and Akkub.
26 Šie bija Jojaķima, Ješuūs dēla, Jocadaka dēla dēla, dienās, un Nehemijas, tā zemes soģa, un priestera Ezras, tā rakstu mācītāja, dienās.
They did that work during the time that Joiakim, who was the son of Jeshua and the grandson of Jehozadak, [was the Supreme Priest, ] and I was the governor, and Ezra was the priest who knew the Jewish laws very well.
27 Un pie Jeruzālemes mūra iesvētīšanas meklēja levitus no visām viņu vietām, tos vest uz Jeruzālemi, ka tie noturētu iesvētīšanas prieka svētkus ar pateikšanas un teikšanas dziesmām un ar pulkstenīšiem un somastabulēm un koklēm.
When we dedicated the wall around Jerusalem, we summoned the descendants of Levi [who help the priests] from the nearby places where they [were living]. We asked them to [join with us to] celebrate when we dedicated the wall. We wanted them to sing songs to thank [Yahweh] and make music by playing cymbals and harps and other stringed instruments.
28 Un tie dziedātāju bērni sapulcējās no Jeruzālemes apgabala un no Netofatas ciemiem,
We summoned the descendants of Levi who habitually sang together. They came to Jerusalem from nearby areas [where they had settled], and from places around Netophah [town southeast of Jerusalem],
29 Un no BetGilgalas un no Ģebas tīrumiem un no Asmavetas. Jo dziedātāji bija sev uzcēluši ciemus ap Jeruzālemi.
and from three places [northeast of Jerusalem]—Beth Gilgal [city] and the areas around Geba and Azmaveth. Those singers had built villages to live in near Jerusalem.
30 Tad priesteri un leviti šķīstījās un šķīstīja tos ļaudis un tos vārtus un to mūri.
[When they came to Jerusalem], the priests and [other] descendants of Levi [who help the priests] performed rituals to cause themselves to be acceptable to God, and then they performed similar rituals to purify the [other] people, the gates, and the wall.
31 Tad es vedu Jūda virsniekus uz mūri un liku divus lielus dziedātāju pulkus uz svētku gājienu pa labo roku ārpus mūra līdz Mēslu vārtiem.
Then I gathered together the leaders of Judah on top of the wall, and I appointed them to lead two large groups to march around the city [on top of the wall], thanking God. [As they faced the city, ] one group walked to the right toward the Dung Gate.
32 Un tiem gāja pakaļ Ozaja un viena puse no Jūda virsniekiem,
Behind their leaders marched Hoshaiah and half of the leaders of Judah.
33 Un Azarijus un Ezra un Mešulams,
Behind them marched a group of priests who were blowing trumpets. They were Azariah, Ezra, Meshullam, Judah, Benjamin, Shemaiah, and Jeremiah. Next came Zechariah, the son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Micaiah, the son of Zaccur, a descendant of Asaph.
34 Jūda un Benjamins un Šemaja un Jeremija,
35 Un no priesteru bērniem ar bazūnēm: Zaharija, Jonatāna dēls, tas bija Šemajas, tas Matanijas, tas Mikajas, tas Zakura, tas Asafa dēls,
36 Un viņa brāļi Šemaja un Azareēls, Milalajus, Ģilalajus, Maājus, Netaneēls un Jūda, Hananus, ar Tā Dieva vīra Dāvida mūzikas rīkiem; un Ezra, tas rakstu mācītājs, gāja viņu priekšā.
Behind them marched other members of Zechariah’s clan: Shemaiah, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, Judah, and Hanani. They all were playing the same kinds of musical instruments that King David had played [many years previously]. Ezra, the man who knew the Jewish laws very well, marched in front of this group.
37 Un pie Akas vārtiem, kas bija pretim, tie gāja augšām pa tām pakāpēm uz Dāvida pilsētu, pa mūra uzkāpi uz Dāvida namu, un līdz Ūdens vārtiem pret rītiem.
When they reached the Fountain Gate, they went up the steps to David’s City, past his palace, and then to the wall at the Water Gate, on the east side [of the city].
38 Tas otrais dziedātāju pulks gāja it pretī, un es viņam pakaļ ar otru ļaužu pusi, pa mūri no Cepļa torņa līdz Platajam mūrim,
The other group of those who were thanking [Yahweh] marched to the left on top of the wall. I followed them with half of the people. [We marched] past the Tower of the Ovens to the Broad Wall.
39 Un pa Efraīma vārtiem, pa Vecpilsētas vārtiem un pa Zivju vārtiem un Hananeēļa torni un Meas(Simtnieku) torni un līdz Avju vārtiem, un tie apstājās pie Cietuma vārtiem.
[From there we marched] past Ephraim Gate, Jeshanah Gate, the Fish Gate, the Tower of Hananel, the Tower of the Hundred Soldiers, to the Sheep Gate. We finished marching near the gate into the temple.
40 Un tā abi dziedātāju pulki stāvēja pie Dieva nama, arī es un valdnieku viena puse līdz ar mani,
Both the groups reached the temple while they were thanking God. They stood in their places there. The leaders who were with me [also stood with me in our places].
41 Un priesteri Elijaķims, Maāseja, Minjamins, Mikajus, Elioēnajus, Zaharija, Ananija ar bazūnēm,
My group included these priests who were [all blowing] trumpets: Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, Hananiah,
42 Un Maāseja, Šemaja, Eleazars un Uzus un Jehohanans un Malhija un Elams un Azars. Un dziedātāji dziedāja un Jizraķija bija tas vadonis.
[another] Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malchijah, Elam, and Ezer. The singers, whose leader was Jezrahiah, sang loudly.
43 Un tie upurēja tai dienā lielus upurus un priecājās; jo Dievs tos bija iepriecinājis ar lielu prieku; tur priecājās arī sievas un bērni, tā ka Jeruzālemes prieks tapa tālu dzirdēts.
[After we went outside the temple, ] we offered many sacrifices. We men all rejoiced because God had caused us to be very happy. The women and the children also rejoiced. People far away could hear the noise that we made there in Jerusalem.
44 Tai dienā tur vīri kļuva iecelti pār mantu kambariem, kur tie cilājamie upuri, tie pirmaji un tie desmitie, lai tur sakrāj no pilsētu tīrumiem tās pienākamās daļas priekš priesteriem un levitiem. Jo Jūda priecājās par tiem priesteriem un levitiem, kas tur stāvēja,
On that day, men were appointed {they appointed men} to be in charge of the storerooms where they kept the money that people contributed [for the temple]. They also kept there [the other things that the people contributed—] the tithes and the first part of the grain and fruit that was harvested each year. Those men collected those things from the fields/farms near the cities, and [took them to Jerusalem and] gave them to the priests and the [other] descendants of Levi, as [Moses had said in his] laws that they should do. All the Israeli people were happy about the work that the priests and the descendants of Levi did,
45 Un ņēma vērā sava Dieva nama kopšanu un to šķīstīšanu; tāpat arī dziedātāji un vārtu sargi pēc Dāvida un viņa dēla Salamana likuma.
because they performed the rituals to purify things, and the other rituals that God had commanded. The musicians in the temple also did their work as King David and his son Solomon had declared that they should do.
46 Jo vecos laikos Dāvida un Asafa dienās bija priekšnieki dziedātājiem un Dieva slavas un pateicības dziesmām.
Ever since the time that David had been the king and Asaph had been his chief musician, the musicians had led the people while they sang songs to praise and thank God.
47 Tāpēc viss Israēls Zerubabeļa dienās un Nehemijas dienās deva daļas dziedātājiem un vārtu sargiem, ikdienas savu dienas daļu. Un deva to svēto tiesu levitiem, un leviti deva to svēto tiesu Ārona bērniem.
During the years that Zerubbabel and I governed the Israeli people, they all contributed the food that the singers and temple gatekeepers needed each day. They gave (a tithe/10%) of their crops to the descendants of Levi [who helped the priests], and those descendants of Levi gave (a tithe/10%) of that to [the priests, who were] descendants of Aaron [the first Supreme Priest].
