Nehemiah 12

1 Now, these, are the priests and the Levites, who came up with Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua, —Seraiah, Jeremiah, Ezra;

Amaria Melluch Attus

Addo Genthon Abia

5 Mijamin, Maadiah, Bilgah;

6 Shemaiah, and Joiarib, Jedaiah;

Semaia et Ioarib Idaia Sellum Amoc Elceia

7 Sallu, Amok, Hilkiah, Jedaiah, —these, were the chiefs of the priests and their brethren, in the days of Jeshua.

Idaia isti principes sacerdotum et fratres eorum in diebus Iosue

8 And, the Levites, Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, Mattaniah, —over the choirs, he and his brethren;

porro Levitae Iesua Bennui Cedmihel Sarabia Iuda Mathanias super hymnos ipsi et fratres eorum

9 and Bakbukiah and Unno their brethren, were over against them, in wards.

et Becbecia atque et Hanni fratres eorum unusquisque in officio suo

10 And Jeshua, begat Joiakim, —and Joiakim, begat Eliashib, and, Eliashib, [begat] Joiada;

Hiesue autem genuit Ioachim et Ioachim genuit Eliasib et Eliasib genuit Ioiada

11 and, Joiada, begat Jonathan, —and, Jonathan, begat Jaddua.

et Ioiada genuit Ionathan et Ionathan genuit Ieddoa

12 And, in the days of Joiakim, were priests, ancestral chiefs, —of Seraiah, Meraiah, of Jeremiah, Hananiah;

in diebus autem Ioachim erant sacerdotes principes familiarum Saraiae Amaria Hieremiae Anania

13 of Ezra, Meshullam, —of Amariah, Jehohanan;

Ezrae Mosollam Amariae Iohanan

14 of Malluchi, Jonathan, —of Shebaniah, Joseph;

Milico Ionathan Sebeniae Ioseph

15 of Harim, Adna, —of Meraioth, Helkai;

Arem Edna Maraioth Elci

16 of Iddo, Zechariah, —of Ginnethon, Meshullam;

Addaiae Zaccharia Genthon Mosollam

17 of Abijah, Zichri, —of Miniamin, of Moadiah, Piltai;

Abiae Zecheri Miamin et Moadiae Felti

18 of Bilgah, Shammua, —of Shemaiah, Jehonathan;

Belgae Sammua Semaiae Ionathan

19 and, of Joiarib, Mattenai, —of Jedaiah, Uzzi;

Ioiarib Matthanai Iadaiae Azzi

20 of Sallai, Kallai, —of Amok, Eber;

Sellaiae Celai Amoc Eber

21 of Hilkiah, Hashabiah, —of Jedaiah, Nethanel.

Elciae Asebia Idaiae Nathanahel

22 The Levites—in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, and Johanan, and Jaddua, were recorded as ancestral chiefs, —also the priests, unto the reign of Darius the Persian.

Levitae in diebus Eliasib et Ioiada et Ionan et Ieddoa scripti principes familiarum et sacerdotes in regno Darii Persae

23 the sons of Levi, ancestral heads, were written in the book of 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, the chiefs of the Levites, Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua son of Kadmiel, with their brethren over against them, to praise—to give thanks, by the commandment of David the man of God, —ward joined to ward.

et principes Levitarum Asebia Serebia et Iesue filius Cedmihel et fratres eorum per vices suas ut laudarent et confiterentur iuxta praeceptum David viri Dei et observarent aeque per ordinem

25 Mattaniah and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub, were watchers, doorkeepers of the ward, in the storehouses of the gates.

Matthania et Becbecia Obedia Mosollam Thelmon Accub custodes portarum et vestibulorum ante portas

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

hii in diebus Ioachim filii Iesue filii Iosedech et in diebus Neemiae ducis et Ezrae sacerdotis scribaeque

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 keep the dedication and the rejoicing, both with thanksgiving and with music, cymbals, harps, and with lyres.

in dedicatione autem muri Hierusalem requisierunt Levitas de omnibus locis suis ut adducerent eos in Hierusalem et facerent dedicationem et laetitiam in actione gratiarum et in cantico in cymbalis psalteriis et citharis

28 So the sons of the singers gathered themselves together, —both out of the circuit round about Jerusalem, and out of the villages of the Netophathites;

congregati sunt ergo filii cantorum et de campestribus circa Hierusalem et de villis Netuphati

29 also out of Beth-gilgal, and out of the fields of Geba, and Azmaveth, —for, villages, had the singers builded for themselves, round about Jerusalem.

et de domo Galgal et de regionibus Geba et Azmaveth quoniam villas aedificaverunt sibi cantores in circuitu Hierusalem

30 And the priests and the Levites purified themselves, —and purified the people, and the gates, and the wall.

et mundati sunt sacerdotes et Levitae et mundaverunt populum et portas et murum

31 Then brought I up the rulers of Judah upon the wall, —and I appointed two large choirs, even to go in procession to the right, upon the wall, towards the dung-gate;

ascendere autem feci principes Iuda super murum et statui duos choros laudantium magnos et ierunt ad dexteram super murum ad portam Sterquilinii

32 and after them went Hoshaiah, and half the rulers of Judah;

et ivit post eos Osaias et media pars principum Iuda

33 then Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam;

et Azarias Ezras et Mosollam

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

Iuda et Beniamin et Semeia et Hieremia

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

et de filiis sacerdotum in tubis Zaccharias filius Ionathan filius Semeiae filius Mathaniae filius Michaiae filius Zecchur filius Asaph

36 and his brethren—Shemaiah and Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, and Judah, Hanani, with the instruments of music of David, the man of God, —with Ezra the scribe before them;

et fratres eius Semeia et Azarel Malalai Galalai Maai Nathanel et Iuda et Anani in vasis cantici David viri Dei et Ezras scriba ante eos in porta Fontis

37 and, over they fountain gate and straight before them, they went up by the stairs of the city of David, at the going up of the wall, —above the house of David, even as far as 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 choir, was going over against them, I, following it, —with the half of the people upon the wall, above the tower of the ovens, even as far as the broad wall;

et chorus secundus gratias referentium ibat ex adverso et ego post eum et media pars populi super murum et super turrem Furnorum et usque ad murum latissimum

39 and above the gate of Ephraim, and upon the old gate, and upon the fish-gate, and the tower of Hananel, and the tower of Hammeah, even as far as the sheep-gate, —and they came to a stand, at the gate of the guard.

et super portam Ephraim et super portam Antiquam et super portam Piscium et turrem Ananehel et turrem Ema et usque ad portam Gregis et steterunt in porta Custodiae

40 So the two choirs, came to a stand, at the house of God, —and I, and half the deputies with me;

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

41 and, the priests—Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with trumpets;

et sacerdotes Eliachim Maasia Miniamin Michea Elioenai Zaccharia Anania in tubis

42 and Maaseiah and Shemaiah and Eleazar and Uzzi and Jehohanan and Malchijah and Elam and Ezer, —and the musicians sounded, aloud with Jezrahiah who was over them.

et Maasia et Semea et Eleazar et Azi et Iohanan et Melchia et Elam et Ezer et clare cecinerunt cantores et Iezraia praepositus

43 And they sacrificed, on that day, great sacrifices, and rejoiced, for, God, had caused them to rejoice with great joy, moreover also, the women and children, rejoiced, —so that the rejoicing of Jerusalem was heard afar off.

et immolaverunt in die illa victimas magnas et laetati sunt Deus enim laetificaverat eos laetitia magna sed et uxores eorum et liberi gavisi sunt et audita est laetitia Hierusalem procul

44 And there were set in charge, on that day, certain men, over the chambers for the treasures, for the heave-offerings, for the firstfruits, and for the tithes, to gather into them, out of the fields of the cities, the portions appointed by the law, for the priests, and for the Levites, —for, the joy of Judah, was over the priests and over the Levites, who were remaining.

recensuerunt quoque in die illa viros super gazofilacia thesauri ad libamina et ad primitias et ad decimas ut introferrent per eos principes civitatis in decore gratiarum actionis sacerdotes et Levitas quia laetatus est Iuda in sacerdotibus et Levitis adstantibus

45 So they kept the charge of their God, and the charge of the purification, and [so did] the singers and the doorkeepers, —according to the commandment of David and of Solomon his son.

et custodierunt observationem Dei sui et observationem expiationis et cantores et ianitores iuxta praeceptum David et Salomonis filii eius

46 For, in the days of David and Asaph, of old, there were chiefs of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving, unto God.

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

47 Now, all Israel—in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah, used to give the portions of the singers and the doorkeepers, the need of a day upon its day, —and they hallowed them unto the Levites, and, the Levites, hallowed them unto the sons of Aaron.

et omnis Israhel in diebus Zorobabel et in diebus Neemiae dabat partes cantoribus et ianitoribus per dies singulos et sanctificabant Levitas et Levitae sanctificabant filios Aaron
