نَحَمْيَا 11

١ 1 وَسَكَنَ رُؤَسَاءُ ٱلشَّعْبِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَأَلْقَى سَائِرُ ٱلشَّعْبِ قُرَعًا لِيَأْتُوا بِوَاحِدٍ مِنْ عَشَرَةٍ لِلسُّكْنَى فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، مَدِينَةِ ٱلْقُدْسِ، وَٱلتِّسْعَةِ ٱلْأَقْسَامِ فِي ٱلْمُدُنِ.

Now the leaders of the people settled in Jerusalem, and the rest of the people cast lots to bring one out of ten to live in the holy city of Jerusalem, while the remaining nine were to dwell in their own towns.

٢ 2 وَبَارَكَ ٱلشَّعْبُ جَمِيعَ ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱنْتَدَبُوا لِلسَّكْنَى فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ.

And the people blessed all the men who volunteered to live in Jerusalem.

٣ 3 وَهَؤُلَاءِ هُمْ رُؤُوسُ ٱلْبِلَادِ ٱلَّذِينَ سَكَنُوا فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ وَفِي مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا. سَكَنَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ فِي مُلْكِهِ، فِي مُدُنِهِمْ مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، ٱلْكَهَنَةُ وَٱللَّاَوِيُّونَ وَٱلنَّثِينِيمُ وَبَنُو عَبِيدِ سُلَيْمَانَ.

These are the heads of the provinces who settled in Jerusalem. (In the villages of Judah, however, each lived on his own property in their towns—the Israelites, priests, Levites, temple servants, and descendants of Solomon’s servants—

٤ 4 وَسَكَنَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ مِنْ بَنِي يَهُوذَا وَمِنْ بَنِي بَنْيَامِينَ. فَمِنْ بَنِي يَهُوذَا: عَثَايَا بْنُ عُزِّيَّا بْنِ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ أَمَرْيَا بْنِ شَفَطْيَا بْنِ مَهْلَلْئِيلَ مِنْ بَنِي فَارَصَ.

while some of the descendants of Judah and Benjamin settled in Jerusalem.) From the descendants of Judah: Athaiah son of Uzziah, the son of Zechariah, the son of Amariah, the son of Shephatiah, the son of Mahalalel, a descendant of Perez;

٥ 5 وَمَعْسِيَّا بْنُ بَارُوخَ بْنِ كَلْحُوزَةَ بْنِ حَزَايَا بْنِ عَدَايَا بْنِ يُويَارِيبَ بْنِ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ ٱلشِّيلُونِيِّ.

and Maaseiah son of Baruch, the son of Col-hozeh, the son of Hazaiah, the son of Adaiah, the son of Joiarib, the son of Zechariah, a descendant of Shelah.

The descendants of Perez who settled in Jerusalem totaled 468 men of valor.

٧ 7 وَهَؤُلَاءِ بَنُو بِنْيَامِينَ: سَلُّو بْنُ مَشُلَّامَ بْنِ يُوعِيدَ بْنِ فَدَايَا بْنِ قُولَايَا بْنِ مَعْسِيَّا بْنِ إِيثِيئِيلَ بْنِ يَشَعْيَا.

From the descendants of Benjamin: Sallu son of Meshullam, the son of Joed, the son of Pedaiah, the son of Kolaiah, the son of Maaseiah, the son of Ithiel, the son of Jeshaiah;

From the Levites: Shemaiah son of Hasshub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Bunni;

Shabbethai and Jozabad, two leaders of the Levites, who supervised the work outside the house of God;

١٧ 17 وَمَتَّنْيَا بْنُ مِيخَا بْنِ زَبْدِي بْنِ آسَافَ، رَئِيسُ ٱلتَّسْبِيحِ يُحَمِّدُ فِي ٱلصَّلَاةِ وَبَقْبُقْيَا ٱلثَّانِي بَيْنَ إِخْوَتِهِ، وَعَبْدَا بْنُ شَمُّوعَ بْنِ جَلَالَ بْنِ يَدُوثُونَ.

The Levites in the holy city totaled 284.

١٩ 19 وَٱلْبَوَّابُونَ: عَقُّوبُ وَطَلْمُونُ وَإِخْوَتُهُمَا حَارِسُو ٱلْأَبْوَابِ مِئَةٌ وَٱثْنَانِ وَسَبْعُونَ.

And the gatekeepers: Akkub, Talmon, and their associates, who kept watch at the gates—172 men.

٢٠ 20 وَكَانَ سَائِرُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنَ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱللَّاَوِيِّينَ فِي جَمِيعِ مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ فِي مِيرَاثِهِ.

The rest of the Israelites, with the priests and Levites, were in all the villages of Judah, each on his own inheritance.

٢١ 21 وَأَمَّا ٱلنَّثِينِيمُ فَسَكَنُوا فِي ٱلْأَكَمَةِ. وَكَانَ صِيحَا وَجِشْفَا عَلَى ٱلنَّثِينِيمِ.

The temple servants lived on the hill of Ophel, with Ziha and Gishpa over them.

٢٢ 22 وَكَانَ وَكِيلَ ٱللَّاَوِيِّينَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ عَلَى عَمَلِ بَيْتِ ٱللهِ عُزِّي بْنُ بَانِيَ بْنِ حَشَبْيَا بْنِ مَتَّنْيَا بْنِ مِيخَا مِنْ بَنِي آسَافَ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ.

Now the overseer of the Levites in Jerusalem was Uzzi son of Bani, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Mica. He was one of Asaph’s descendants, who were the singers in charge of the service of the house of God.

٢٣ 23 لِأَنَّ وَصِيَّةَ ٱلْمَلِكِ مِنْ جِهَتِهِمْ كَانَتْ أَنَّ لِلْمُرَنِّمِينَ فَرِيضَةً أَمْرَ كُلِّ يَوْمٍ فَيَوْمٍ.

For there was a command from the king concerning the singers, an ordinance regulating their daily activities.

٢٤ 24 وَفَتَحْيَا بْنُ مَشِيزَبْئِيلَ مِنْ بَنِي زَارَحَ بْنِ يَهُوذَا، كَانَ تَحْتَ يَدِ ٱلْمَلِكِ فِي كُلِّ أُمُورِ ٱلشَّعْبِ.

Pethahiah son of Meshezabel, a descendant of Zerah son of Judah, was the king’s agent in every matter concerning the people.

٢٥ 25 وَفِي ٱلضِّيَاعِ مَعَ حُقُولِهَا سَكَنَ مِنْ بَنِي يَهُوذَا فِي قَرْيَةِ أَرْبَعَ وَقُرَاهَا، وَدِيبُونَ وَقُرَاهَا، وَفِي يَقَبْصِئِيلَ وَضِيَاعِهَا،

As for the villages with their fields, some of the people of Judah lived in Kiriath-arba, Dibon, Jekabzeel, and their villages;

٢٦ 26 وَفِي يَشُوعَ وَمُولَادَةَ وَبَيْتِ فَالِطَ،

٢٨ 28 وَفِي صِقْلَغَ وَمَكُونَةَ وَقُرَاهَا،

٢٩ 29 وَفِي عَيْنِ رِمُّونَ وَصَرْعَةَ وَيِرْمُوثَ،

in En-rimmon, Zorah, Jarmuth,

٣٠ 30 وَزَانُوحَ وَعَدُلَّامَ وَضِيَاعِهِمَا، وَلَخِيشَ وَحُقُولِهَا، وَعَزِيقَةَ وَقُرَاهَا، وَحَلُّوا مِنْ بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ إِلَى وَادِي هِنُّومَ.

Zanoah, Adullam, and their villages; in Lachish and its fields; and in Azekah and its villages. So they settled from Beersheba all the way to the Valley of Hinnom.

٣١ 31 وَبَنُو بَنْيَامِينَ سَكَنُوا مِنْ جَبَعَ إِلَى مِخْمَاسَ وَعَيَّا وَبَيْتِ إِيلٍ وَقُرَاهَا،

٣٦ 36 وَكَانَ مِنَ ٱللَّاَوِيِّينَ فِرَقٌ فِي يَهُوذَا وَفِي بِنْيَامِينَ.

And some divisions of the Levites of Judah settled in Benjamin.
