نَحَمْيَا 12

١ 1 وَهَؤُلَاءِ هُمُ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ وَٱللَّاَوِيُّونَ ٱلَّذِينَ صَعِدُوا مَعَ زَرُبَّابِلَ بْنِ شَأَلْتِئِيلَ وَيَشُوعَ: سَرَايَا وَيِرْمِيَا وَعَزْرَا،

Now these are the priests and the Levites who ascended with Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua: Seraiah, Jeremiah, Ezra,

٢ 2 وَأَمَرْيَا وَمَلُّوخُ وَحَطُّوشُ،

Amariah, Malluch, Hattush,

٣ 3 وَشَكَنْيَا وَرَحُومُ وَمَرِيمُوثُ،

Shecaniah, Rehum, Meremoth,

٤ 4 وَعِدُّو وَجِنْتُويُ وَأَبِيَّا،

Iddo, Ginnethon, Abijah,

٥ 5 وَمِيَّامِينُ وَمَعَدْيَا وَبَلْجَةُ،

Mijamin, Maadiah, Bilgah,

٦ 6 وَشَمَعْيَا وَيُويَارِيبُ وَيَدَعْيَا،

Shemaiah, and Joiarib, Jedaiah, Sallu, Amok, Hilkiah, Jedaiah.

٧ 7 وَسَلُّو وَعَامُوقُ وَحِلْقِيَّا وَيَدَعْيَا. هَؤُلَاءِ هُمْ رُؤُوسُ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَإِخْوَتُهُمْ فِي أَيَّامِ يَشُوعَ.

These were the leaders of the priests and of their brothers, in the days of Jeshua.

٨ 8 وَٱللَّاَوِيُّونَ: يَشُوعُ وَبِنُّويُ وَقَدْمِيئِيلُ وَشَرَبْيَا وَيَهُوذَا وَمَتَّنْيَا ٱلَّذِي عَلَى ٱلتَّحْمِيدِ هُوَ وَإِخْوَتُهُ،

And the Levites, Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, Mattaniah, they and their brothers were over the hymns,

٩ 9 وَبَقْبُقْيَا وَعُنِّي أَخَوَاهُمْ مُقَابِلَهُمْ فِي ٱلْحِرَاسَاتِ.

with Bakbukiah, as well as Hannai, and their brothers, each one in his office.

١٠ 10 وَيَشُوعُ وَلَدَ يُويَاقِيمَ، وَيُويَاقِيمُ وَلَدَ أَلِيَاشِيبَ، وَأَلِيَاشِيبُ وَلَدَ يُويَادَاعَ،

Now Jeshua conceived Joiakim, and Joiakim conceived Eliashib, and Eliashib conceived Joiada,

١١ 11 وَيُويَادَاعُ وَلَدَ يُونَاثَانَ، وَيُونَاثَانُ وَلَدَ يَدُّوعَ.

and Joiada conceived Jonathan, and Jonathan conceived Jaddua.

١٢ 12 وَفِي أَيَّامِ يُويَاقِيمَ كَانَ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ رُؤُوسُ ٱلْآبَاءِ: لِسَرَايَا مَرَايَا، وَلِيرْمِيَا حَنَنْيَا،

And in the days of Joiakim, the priests and the leaders of the families were: of Seraiah, Meraiah; of Jeremiah, Hananiah;

١٣ 13 وَلِعَزْرَا مَشُلَّامُ، وَلِأَمَرْيَا يَهُوحَانَانُ،

of Ezra, Meshullam; of Amariah, Jehohanan;

١٤ 14 وَلِمَلِيكُو يُونَاثَانُ، وَلِشَبْنِيَا يُوسُفُ،

of Maluchi, Jonathan; of Shebaniah, Joseph;

١٥ 15 وَلِحَرِيمَ عَدْنَا، وَلِمَرَايُوثَ حَلْقَايُ،

of Harim, Adna; of Meraioth, Helkai;

١٦ 16 وَلِعِدُّو زَكَرِيَّا وَلِجِنَّثُونَ مَشُلَّامُ،

of Adaiah, Zechariah; of Ginnethon, Meshullam;

١٧ 17 وَلِأَبِيَّا زِكْرِي، وَلِمِنْيَامِينَ لِمُوعَدْيَا، فِلْطَايُ،

of Abijah, Zichri; of Mijamin and Moadiah, Piltai;

١٨ 18 وَلِبِلْجَةَ شَمُّوعُ، وَلِشَمَعْيَا يَهُونَاثَانُ،

of Bilgah, Shammua; of Shemaiah, Jehonathan;

١٩ 19 وَلِيُويَارِيبَ مَتْنَايُ، وَلِيَدَعْيَا عُزِّي،

of Joiarib, Mattenai; of Jedaiah, Uzzi;

٢٠ 20 وَلِسَلَّايَ قَلَّايُ، وَلِعَامُوقَ عَابِرُ،

of Sallai, Kallai; of Amok, Eber;

٢١ 21 وَلِحِلْقِيَّا حَشَبْيَا، وَلِيَدَعْيَا نَثَنْئِيلُ.

of Hilkiah, Hashabiah; of Jedaiah, Nethanel.

٢٢ 22 وَكَانَ ٱللَّاَوِيُّونَ فِي أَيَّامِ أَلِيَاشِيبَ وَيُويَادَاعَ وَيُوحَانَانَ وَيَدُّوعَ مَكْتُوبِينَ رُؤُوسَ آبَاءٍ، وَٱلْكَهَنَةُ أَيْضًا فِي مُلْكِ دَارِيُوسَ ٱلْفَارِسِيِّ.

The Levites, in the days of Eliashib, and Joiada, and Johanan, and Jaddua, and the priests, were written according to the leaders of the families, during the reign of Darius the Persian.

٢٣ 23 وَكَانَ بَنُو لَاوِي رُؤُوسُ ٱلْآبَاءِ مَكْتُوبِينَ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ إِلَى أَيَّامِ يُوحَانَانَ بْنِ أَلِيَاشِيبَ.

The sons of Levi, according to the leaders of the families, were written in the book of the words of those days, even to the days of Johanan, the son of Eliashib.

٢٤ 24 وَرُؤُوسُ ٱللَّاَوِيِّينَ: حَشَبْيَا وَشَرَبْيَا وَيَشُوعُ بْنُ قَدْمِيئِيلَ وَإِخْوَتُهُمْ مُقَابِلَهُمْ لِلتَّسْبِيحِ وَٱلتَّحْمِيدِ، حَسَبَ وَصِيَّةِ دَاوُدَ رَجُلِ ٱللهِ، نَوْبَةً مُقَابِلَ نَوْبَةٍ.

Now the leaders of the Levites were Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua, the son of Kadmiel, and their brothers, in their turns, so that they would praise and confess, according to the precept of David, the man of God. And they served equally and in order.

٢٥ 25 وَكَانَ مَتَّنْيَا وَبَقْبُقْيَا وَعُوبَدْيَا وَمَشُلَّامُ وَطَلْمُونُ وَعَقُّوبُ بَوَّابِينَ حَارِسِينَ ٱلْحِرَاسَةَ عِنْدَ مَخَازِنِ ٱلْأَبْوَابِ.

Mattaniah, and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub, were keepers of the gates and of the vestibules before the gates.

٢٦ 26 كَانَ هَؤُلَاءِ فِي أَيَّامِ يُويَاقِيمَ بْنِ يَشُوعَ بْنِ يُوصَادَاقَ، وَفِي أَيَّامِ نَحَمْيَا ٱلْوَالِي، وَعَزْرَا ٱلْكَاهِنِ ٱلْكَاتِبِ.

These were in the days of Joiakim, the son of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah, the governor, and of Ezra, the priest and scribe.

٢٧ 27 وَعِنْدَ تَدْشِينِ سُورِ أُورُشَلِيمَ طَلَبُوا ٱللَّاَوِيِّينَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَمَاكِنِهِمْ لِيَأْتُوا بِهِمْ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، لِكَيْ يُدَشِّنُوا بِفَرَحٍ وَبِحَمْدٍ وَغِنَاءٍ بِٱلصُّنُوجِ وَٱلرَّبَابِ وَٱلْعِيدَانِ.

Now at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem, they sought the Levites from all their places, so that they might bring them to Jerusalem, and so that they might keep the dedication, and rejoice with thanksgiving, and with singing, and with cymbals, psalteries, and lyres.

٢٨ 28 فَٱجْتَمَعَ بَنُو ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ مِنَ ٱلدَّائِرَةِ حَوْلَ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَمِنْ ضِيَاعِ ٱلنَّطُوفَاتِيِّ،

Now the sons of the singing men were gathered from the plains surrounding Jerusalem, and from the villages of Netophati,

٢٩ 29 وَمِنْ بَيْتِ ٱلْجِلْجَالِ، وَمِنْ حُقُولِ جَبَعَ وَعَزْمُوتَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ بَنَوْا لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ ضِيَاعًا حَوْلَ أُورُشَلِيمَ.

and from the house of Gilgal, and from the regions of Geba and Azmaveth. For the singing men had built villages for themselves around Jerusalem.

٣٠ 30 وَتَطَهَّرَ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ وَٱللَّاَوِيُّونَ، وَطَهَّرُوا ٱلشَّعْبَ وَٱلْأَبْوَابَ وَٱلسُّورَ.

And the priests and the Levites were cleansed, and they cleansed the people, and the gates, and the wall.

٣١ 31 وَأَصْعَدْتُ رُؤَسَاءَ يَهُوذَا عَلَى ٱلسُّورِ. وَأَقَمْتُ فِرْقَتَيْنِ عَظِيمَتَيْنِ مِنَ ٱلْحَمَّادِينَ، وَوَكَبَتِ ٱلْوَاحِدَةُ يَمِينًا عَلَى ٱلسُّورِ نَحْوَ بَابِ ٱلدِّمْنِ.

Then I caused the leaders of Judah to ascend the wall, and I appointed two great choirs to give praise. And they went to the right upon the wall, toward the dung gate.

٣٢ 32 وَسَارَ وَرَاءَهُمْ هُوشَعْيَا وَنِصْفُ رُؤَسَاءِ يَهُوذَا،

And after them went Hoshaiah, and one half part of the leadership of Judah,

٣٣ 33 وَعَزَرْيَا وَعَزْرَا وَمَشُلَّامُ،

and Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam,

٣٤ 34 وَيَهُوذَا وَبَنْيَامِينُ وَشَمَعْيَا وَيِرْمِيَا،

Judah, and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah.

٣٥ 35 وَمِنْ بَنِي ٱلْكَهَنَةِ بِٱلْأَبْوَاقِ زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ يُونَاثَانَ بْنِ شَمَعْيَا بْنِ مَتَّنْيَا بْنِ مِيخَايَا بْنِ زَكُّورَ بْنِ آسَافَ،

And some of the sons of the priests went forth with trumpets: Zachariah, the son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Micaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph.

٣٦ 36 وَإِخْوَتُهُ شَمَعْيَا وَعَزَرْئِيلُ وَمِلَلَايُ وَجِلَلَايُ وَمَاعَايُ وَنَثَنْئِيلُ وَيَهُوذَا وَحَنَانِي بِآلَاتِ غِنَاءِ دَاوُدَ رَجُلِ ٱللهِ، وَعَزْرَا ٱلْكَاتِبُ أَمَامَهُمْ.

And his brothers, Shemaiah, and Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, and Judah, and Hanani, went forth with the canticles of David, the man of God. And Ezra, the scribe, was before them at the fountain gate.

٣٧ 37 وَعِنْدَ بَابِ ٱلْعَيْنِ ٱلَّذِي مُقَابِلَهُمْ صَعِدُوا عَلَى دَرَجِ مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ عِنْدَ مَصْعَدِ ٱلسُّورِ، فَوْقَ بَيْتِ دَاوُدَ، إِلَى بَابِ ٱلْمَاءِ شَرْقًا.

And opposite them, they ascended by the steps of the city of David, at the ascent of the wall above the house of David, and as far as the water gate to the east.

٣٨ 38 وَٱلْفِرْقَةُ ٱلثَّانِيَةُ مِنَ ٱلْحَمَّادِينَ وَكَبَتْ مُقَابِلَهُمْ، وَأَنَا وَرَاءَهَا، وَنِصْفُ ٱلشَّعْبِ عَلَى ٱلسُّورِ مِنْ عِنْدِ بُرْجِ ٱلتَّنَانِيرِ إِلَى ٱلسُّورِ ٱلْعَرِيضِ.

And the second choir of those who gave thanks went forth on the opposite side, and I went after them, and one half part of the people were upon the wall, and upon the tower of the furnaces, as far as the widest wall,

٣٩ 39 وَمِنْ فَوْقِ بَابِ أَفْرَايِمَ وَفَوْقَ ٱلْبَابِ ٱلْعَتِيقِ وَفَوْقَ بَابِ ٱلسَّمَكِ وَبُرْجِ حَنَنْئِيلَ وَبُرْجِ ٱلْمِئَةِ إِلَى بَابِ ٱلضَّأْنِ، وَوَقَفُوا فِي بَابِ ٱلسِّجْنِ.

and above the gate of Ephraim, and above the ancient gate, and above the fish gate, and the tower of Hananel, and the tower of Hamath, and as far as the flock gate. And they stood still at the watch gate.

٤٠ 40 فَوَقَفَتْ ٱلْفِرْقَتَانِ مِنَ ٱلْحَمَّادِينَ فِي بَيْتِ ٱللهِ، وَأَنَا وَنِصْفُ ٱلْوُلَاةِ مَعِي،

And the two choirs of those who gave praise stood still at the house of God, with myself and one half part of the magistrates who were with me.

٤١ 41 وَٱلْكَهَنَةُ: أَلْيَاقِيمُ وَمَعْسِيَا وَمِنْيَامِينُ وَمِيخَايَا وَأَلْيُوعِينَايُ وَزَكَرِيَّا وَحَنَنْيَا بِٱلْأَبْوَاقِ،

And the priests, Eliakim, Maaseiah, Mijamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, Hananiah, went forth with trumpets,

٤٢ 42 وَمَعْسِيَا وَشَمَعْيَا وَأَلْعَازَارُ وَعُزِّي وَيَهُوحَانَانُ وَمَلْكِيَّا وَعِيلَامُ وعَازَرُ، وَغَنَّى ٱلْمُغَنُّونَ وَيِزْرَحْيَا ٱلْوَكِيلُ.

with Maaseiah, and Shemaiah, and Eleazar, and Uzzi, and Jehohanan, and Malchijah, and Elam, and Ezer. And the singers were singing clearly, and Jezrahiah was their foremost leader.

٤٣ 43 وَذَبَحُوا فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ ذَبَائِحَ عَظِيمَةً وَفَرِحُوا، لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ أَفْرَحَهُمْ فَرَحًا عَظِيمًا. وَفَرِحَ ٱلْأَوْلَادُ وَٱلنِّسَاءُ أَيْضًا، وَسُمِعَ فَرَحُ أُورُشَلِيمَ عَنْ بُعْدٍ.

And on that day, they immolated great sacrifices, and they rejoiced. For God had caused them to rejoice with great joy. And their wives and children also were glad. And the rejoicing of Jerusalem was heard from far away.

٤٤ 44 وَتَوَكَّلَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ أُنَاسٌ عَلَى ٱلْمَخَادِعِ لِلْخَزَائِنِ وَٱلرَّفَائِعِ وَٱلْأَوَائِلِ وَٱلْأَعْشَارِ، لِيَجْمَعُوا فِيهَا مِنْ حُقُولِ ٱلْمُدُنِ أَنْصِبَةَ ٱلشَّرِيعَةِ لِلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱللَّاَوِيِّينَ، لِأَنَّ يَهُوذَا فَرِحَ بِٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱللَّاَوِيِّينَ ٱلْوَاقِفِينَ

On that day also, they enrolled men over the storehouses of the treasury, for the libations, and for the first-fruits, and for the tithes, so that the leaders of the city might bring these in, by them, with proper thanksgiving, for the priests and the Levites. For Judah was rejoicing in the priests and the Levites who were assisting.

٤٥ 45 حَارِسِينَ حِرَاسَةَ إِلَهِهِمْ وَحِرَاسَةَ ٱلتَّطْهِيرِ. وَكَانَ ٱلْمُغَنُّونَ وَٱلْبَوَّابُونَ حَسَبَ وَصِيَّةِ دَاوُدَ وَسُلَيْمَانَ ٱبْنِهِ.

And they kept the vigil of their God, and the vigil of expiation, with the singing men and the gatekeepers, in accord with the precept of David, and of Solomon, his son.

٤٦ 46 لِأَنَّهُ فِي أَيَّامِ دَاوُدَ وَآسَافَ مُنْذُ ٱلْقَدِيمِ كَانَ رُؤُوسُ مُغَنِّينَ وَغِنَاءُ تَسْبِيحٍ وَتَحْمِيدٍ لِلهِ.

For in the days of David and Asaph, from the beginning, there were leaders appointed over the singers, to give praise in verses, and to confess to God.

٤٧ 47 وَكَانَ كُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي أَيَّامِ زَرُبَّابِلَ وَأَيَّامِ نَحَمْيَا يُؤَدُّونَ أَنْصِبَةَ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ وَٱلْبَوَّابِينَ أَمْرَ كُلِّ يَوْمٍ فِي يَوْمِهِ، وَكَانُوا يُقَدِّسُونَ لِلَّاوِيِّينَ، وَكَانَ ٱللَّاوِيُّونَ يُقَدِّسُونَ لِبَنِي هَارُونَ.

And all of Israel, in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah, gave portions to the singing men and to the gatekeepers, for each day, and they sanctified the Levites, and the Levites sanctified the sons of Aaron.
