15 Congregavi autem eos ad fluvium, qui decurrit ad Ahava, et mansimus ibi tribus diebus: quæsivique in populo et in sacerdotibus de filiis Levi, et non inveni ibi.
And I gathered them together to the river that runs to Ahava; and there stayed we in tents three days: and I viewed the people, and the priests, and found there none of the sons of Levi.
16 Itaque misi Eliezer, et Ariel, et Semeiam, et Elnathan, et Iarib, et alterum Elnathan, et Nathan, et Zachariam, et Mosollam principes: et Ioiarib, et Elnathan sapientes.
Then sent I 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; also for Joiarib, and for Elnathan, men of understanding.
17 Et misi eos ad Eddo, qui est primus in Chasphiæ loco, et posui in ore eorum verba, quæ loquerentur ad Eddo, et fratres eius Nathinæos in loco Chasphiæ ut adducerent nobis ministros domus Dei nostri.
And I sent them with commandment to Iddo the chief at the place Casiphia, and I told them what they should say to Iddo, and to his brothers the Nethinims, 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 Moholi filii Levi filii Israel, et Sarabiam et filios eius et fratres eius decem et octo,
And by the good hand of our God on us they brought us a man of understanding, of the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel; and Sherebiah, with his sons and his brothers, eighteen;
19 et Hasabiam, et cum eo Isaiam de filiis Merari, fratresque eius, et filios eius viginti:
And Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah of the sons of Merari, his brothers and their sons, twenty;
20 et de Nathinæis, quos dederat David et principes ad ministeria Levitarum, Nathinæos ducentos viginti: omnes hi suis nominibus vocabantur.
Also of the Nethinims, whom David and the princes had appointed for the service of the Levites, two hundred and twenty Nethinims: all of them were expressed by name.
21 Et prædicavi ibi ieiunium iuxta fluvium Ahava ut affligeremur coram Domino Deo nostro, et peteremus ab eo viam rectam nobis et filiis nostris, universæque substantiæ nostræ.
Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river of Ahava, that we might afflict 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 a rege auxilium et equites, qui defenderent nos ab inimico in via: quia dixeramus regi: Manus Dei nostri est super omnes, qui quærunt 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: because we had spoken to the king, saying, The hand of our God is on all them for good that seek him; but his power and his wrath is against all them that forsake him.
23 Ieiunavimus autem, et rogavimus Deum nostrum per hoc: et evenit nobis prospere.
So we fasted and sought our God for this: and he was entreated of us.
24 Et separavi de principibus Sacerdotum duodecim, Sarabiam, et Hasabiam, et cum eis de fratribus eorum decem.
Then I separated twelve of the chief of the priests, Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brothers with them,
25 Appendique eis argentum et aurum, et vasa consecrata domus Dei nostri, quæ obtulerat rex et consiliatores eius, et principes eius, universusque Israel eorum, qui inventi fuerant:
And weighed to them the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, even the offering of the house of our God, which the king, and his counsellors, and his lords, and all Israel there present, had offered:
26 et appendi in manibus eorum argenti talenta sexcenta quinquaginta, et vasa argentea centum, auri centum talenta:
I even weighed to their hand six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and silver vessels an hundred talents, and of gold an hundred talents;
27 et crateres aureos viginti, qui habebant solidos millenos, et vasa æris fulgentis optimi duo, pulchra, ut aurum.
Also twenty basins of gold, of a thousand drams; and two vessels of fine 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 nostrorum:
And I said to them, You are holy to the LORD; the vessels are holy also; and the silver and the gold are a freewill offering to the LORD God of your fathers.
29 vigilate et custodite, donec appendatis coram principibus Sacerdotum, et Levitarum, et ducibus familiarum Israel in Ierusalem, in thesaurum domus Domini.
Watch you, and keep them, until you weigh them before the chief of the priests and the Levites, and chief of the fathers of Israel, at Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of the LORD.
30 Susceperunt autem Sacerdotes et Levitæ pondus argenti, et auri, et vasorum ut deferrent Ierusalem in domum Dei nostri.
So took the priests and the Levites the weight of the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, to bring them to Jerusalem to the house of our God.
31 Promovimus ergo a flumine Ahava duodecimo die mensis primi ut pergeremus Ierusalem: et manus Dei nostri fuit super nos, et liberavit nos de manu inimici et insidiatoris in via.
Then we departed from the river of Ahava on the twelfth day of the first month, to go to Jerusalem: and the hand of our God was on us, and he delivered us from the hand of the enemy, and of such as lay in wait by the way.
32 Et venimus Ierusalem, et mansimus ibi tribus diebus.
And we came to Jerusalem, and stayed there three days.
33 Die autem quarta appensum est argentum, et aurum, et vasa in domo Dei nostri per manum Meremoth filii Uriæ Sacerdotis, et cum eo Eleazar filius Phinees, cumque eis Iozabed filius Iosue, et Noadaia filius Bennoi Levitæ,
Now on the fourth day was the silver and the gold and the vessels weighed in the house of our God by the hand of Meremoth the son of Uriah the priest; and with him was Eleazar the son of Phinehas; and with them was 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.
By number and by weight of every one: and all the weight was written at that time.
35 Sed et qui venerant de captivitate filii transmigrationis, obtulerunt holocautomata Deo Israel, vitulos duodecim pro omni populo Israel, arietes nonaginta sex, agnos septuaginta septem, hircos pro peccato, duodecim: omnia in holocaustum Domino.
Also the children of those that had been carried away, which were come out of the captivity, offered burnt offerings to the God of Israel, twelve bullocks for all Israel, ninety and six rams, seventy and seven lambs, twelve he goats for a sin offering: all this was a burnt offering to the LORD.
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 commissions to the king’s lieutenants, and to the governors on this side the river: and they furthered the people, and the house of God.
