8 And the Levites: Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, Mattaniah, he [is] over the thanksgiving, and his brothers,

Porro Levitæ, Iesua, Bennui, Cedmihel, Sarebia, Iuda, Mathanias, super hymnos ipsi et fratres eorum:

9 and Bakbukiah and Unni, their brothers, [are] opposite them in charges.

et Becbecia atque Hanni, et fratres eorum unusquisque in officio suo.

10 And Jeshua has begotten Joiakim, and Joiakim has begotten Eliashib, and Eliashib has begotten Joiada,

Iosue autem genuit Ioacim, et Ioacim genuit Eliasib, et Eliasib genuit Ioiada,

11 and Joiada has begotten Jonathan, and Jonathan has begotten Jaddua.

et Ioiada genuit Ionathan, et Ionathan genuit Ieddoa.

12 And in the days of Joiakim have been priests, heads of the fathers: of Seraiah, Meraiah; of Jeremiah, Hananiah;

In diebus autem Ioacim erant Sacerdotes et principes familiarum: Saraiæ, Maraia: Ieremiæ, Hanania:

Sellai, Celai: Amoc, Heber:

21 of Hilkiah, Hashabiah; of Jedaiah, Nethaneel.

Helciæ, Hasebia: Idaiæ, Nathanael.

22 The Levites, in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, and Johanan, and Jaddua, are written, heads of fathers, and of the priests, in the kingdom of Darius the Persian.

Levitæ in diebus Eliasib, et Ioiada, et Iohanan, et Ieddoa scripti principes familiarum, et Sacerdotes in regno Darii Persæ.

23 Sons of Levi, heads of the fathers, are written on the scroll of the Chronicles even until the days of Johanan son of Eliashib;

Filii Levi principes familiarum, scripti in Libro verborum dierum, et usque ad dies Ionathan, filii Eliasib.

24 and heads of the Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua son of Kadmiel, and their brothers, [are] opposite them, to give praise, to give thanks, by command of David the man of God, charge close by charge.

Et principes Levitarum, Hasebia, Serebia, et Iosue filius Cedmihel: et fratres eorum per vices suas, ut laudarent et confiterentur iuxta præceptum David viri Dei, et observarent æque per ordinem.

25 Mattaniah, and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub, [are] gatekeepers, keeping watch in the gatherings of the gates.

Mathania, et Becbecia, Obedia, Mosollam, Telmon, Accub custodes portarum et vestibulorum ante portas.

26 These [are] in the days of Joiakim son of Jeshua, son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor, and of Ezra the priest, the scribe.

Hi in diebus Ioacim filii Iosue, filii Iosedec, et in diebus Nehemiæ ducis, et Esdræ sacerdotis scribæque.

27 And at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought the Levites out of all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem, to make the dedication even with gladness, and with thanksgivings, and with singing, [with] cymbals, psalteries, and with harps;

In dedicatione autem muri Ierusalem requisierunt Levitas de omnibus locis suis ut adducerent eos in Ierusalem, et facerent dedicationem et lætitiam in actione gratiarum, et cantico, et in cymbalis, psalteriis, et citharis.

28 and sons of the singers are gathered together even from the circuit around Jerusalem, and from the villages of Netophathi,

Congregati sunt autem filii cantorum de campestribus circa Ierusalem, et de villis Nethuphathi,

29 and from the house of Gilgal, and from fields of Geba and Azmaveth, the singers have built for villages for themselves around Jerusalem;

et de domo Galgal, et de regionibus Geba et Azmaveth: quoniam villas ædificaverunt sibi cantores in circuitu Ierusalem.

30 and the priests and the Levites are cleansed, and they cleanse the people, and the gates, and the wall.

Et mundati sunt Sacerdotes et Levitæ, et mundaverunt populum, et portas, et murum.

31 And I bring up the heads of Judah on the wall, and appoint two great thanksgiving companies and processions. At the right, on the wall, to the Refuse Gate;

Ascendere autem feci principes Iuda super murum, et statui duos magnos choros laudantium. Et ierunt ad dexteram super murum ad portam sterquilinii.

32 and after them goes Hoshaiah, and half of the heads of Judah,

Et ivit post eos Osaias, et media pars principum Iuda,

33 and Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam,

et Azarias, Esdras, et Mosollam,

34 Judah, and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah;

Iudas, et Beniamin, et Semeia, et Ieremias.

35 and of the sons of the priests with trumpets, Zechariah son of Jonathan, son of Shemaiah, son of Mattaniah, son of Michaiah, son of Zaccur, son of Asaph,

Et de filiis sacerdotum in tubis, Zacharias filius Ionathan, filius Semeiæ, filius Mathaniæ, filius Michaiæ, filius Zechur, filius Asaph,

36 and his brothers Shemaiah, and Azarael, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethaneel, and Judah, Hanani, with instruments of song of David the man of God, and Ezra the scribe [is] before them;

et fratres eius Semeia, et Azareel, Malalai, Galalai, Maai, Nathanael, et Iudas, et Hanani, in vasis cantici David viri Dei: et Esdras scriba ante eos in porta Fontis.

37 and by the Fountain Gate and in front of them, they have gone up by the steps of the City of David, at the going up of the wall beyond the house of David, and to the Water Gate eastward.

Et contra eos ascenderunt in gradibus civitatis David in ascensu muri super domum David, et usque ad portam Aquarum ad Orientem.

38 And the second thanksgiving company that is going opposite, and I after it, and half of the people on the wall from beyond the Tower of the Furnaces and to the broad wall,

Et chorus secundus gratias referentium ibat ex adverso, et ego post eum, et media pars populi super murum et super turrim furnorum, et usque ad murum latissimum,

39 and from beyond the Gate of Ephraim, and by the Old Gate, and by the Fish Gate, and the Tower of Hananeel, and the Tower of Meah, and to the Sheep Gate—and they have stood at the Prison Gate.

et super portam Ephraim, et super portam antiquam, et super portam piscium et turrim Hananeel, et turrim Emath, et usque ad portam gregis: et steterunt in porta custodiæ,

40 And the two thanksgiving companies stand in the house of God, and I and half of the prefects with me,

steteruntque duo chori laudantium in domo Dei, et ego, et dimidia pars magistratuum mecum.

41 and the priests, Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Michaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, Hananiah, with trumpets,

Et Sacerdotes, Eliachim, Maasia, Miamin, Michea, Elioenai, Zacharia, Hanania in tubis,

42 and Masseiah, and Shemaiah, and Eleazar, and Uzzi, and Jehohanan, and Malchijah, and Elam, and Ezer, and the singers sound, and Jezrahiah the inspector;

et Maasia, et Semeia, et Eleazar, et Azzi, et Iohanan, et Melchia, et Ælam, et Ezer. Et clare cecinerunt cantores, et Iezraia præpositus:

43 and they sacrifice on that day great sacrifices and rejoice, for God has made them rejoice [with] great joy, and also, the women and the children have rejoiced, and the joy of Jerusalem is heard—to a distance.

et immolaverunt in die illa victimas magnas, et lætati sunt: Deus enim lætificaverat eos lætitia magna: sed et uxores eorum et liberi gavisi sunt, et audita est lætitia Ierusalem procul.

44 And certain are appointed on that day over the chambers for treasures, for raised-offerings, for first-fruits, and for tithes, to gather into them out of the fields of the cities the portions of the law for priests, and for Levites, for the joy of Judah [is] over the priests, and over the Levites, who are standing up.

Recensuerunt quoque in die illa viros super gazophylacia thesauri ad libamina, et ad primitias, et ad decimas, ut introferrent per eos principes civitatis in decore gratiarum actionis, Sacerdotes et Levitas: quia lætificatus est Iuda in Sacerdotibus et Levitis astantibus.

45 And the singers and the gatekeepers keep the charge of their God, even the charge of the cleansing—according to the command of David [and] his son Solomon,

Et custodierunt observationem Dei sui, et observationem expiationis, et cantores, et ianitores iuxta præceptum David, et Salomonis filii eius,

46 for in the days of David and Asaph of old [were] heads of the singers, and a song of praise and thanksgiving to God.

quia in diebus David et Asaph ab exordio erant principes constituti cantorum in carmine laudantium, et confitentium Deo.

47 And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah, are giving the portions of the singers, and of the gatekeepers, the matter of a day in its day, and are sanctifying to the Levites, and the Levites are sanctifying to the sons of Aaron.

Et omnis Israel, in diebus Zorobabel, et in diebus Nehemiæ dabant partes cantoribus et ianitoribus per dies singulos, et sanctificabant Levitas, et Levitæ sanctificabant filios Aaron.
