7Sallu, Amok, Hilkiah, and Jedaiah. These were the leaders of the priests and their associates in the days of Jeshua.
7οὗτοι οἱ ἄρχοντες τῶν ἱερέων καὶ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτῶν ἐν ἡμέραις Ἰησοῦ.
8The Levites were Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, and Mattaniah, who, with his associates, led the songs of thanksgiving.
8καὶ οἱ Λευῖται, Ἰησοῦ, Βανουΐ, Καδμιήλ, Σαραβία, Ἰωδαέ, Ματθανία, ἐπὶ τῶν χειρῶν αὐτὸς καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτῶν εἰς τὰς ἐφημερίας.
9Bakbukiah and Unni, their associates, stood across from them in the services.

10Jeshua was the father of Joiakim, Joiakim was the father of Eliashib, Eliashib was the father of Joiada,
10καὶ Ἰησοῦς ἐγέννησε τὸν Ἰωακίμ, καὶ Ἰωακὶμ ἐγέννησε τὸν Ἐλιασίβ, καὶ Ἐλιασὶβ τὸν Ἰωδαέ,
11Joiada was the father of Jonathan, and Jonathan was the father of Jaddua.
11καὶ Ἰωδαὲ ἐγέννησε τὸν Ἰωνάθαν, καὶ Ἰωνάθαν ἐγέννησε τὸν Ἰαδού.
12In the days of Joiakim, these were the heads of the priestly families: of the family of Seraiah, Meraiah; of Jeremiah, Hananiah;
12καὶ ἐν ἡμέραις Ἰωακὶμ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες τῶν πατριῶν· τῷ Σαραΐα Ἀμαρία, τῷ Ἱερεμίᾳ Ἀνανία,
13of Ezra, Meshullam; of Amariah, Jehohanan;
13τῷ Ἔσδρᾳ Μεσουλάμ, τῷ Ἀμαρίᾳ Ἰωανάν,
14of Malluchi, Jonathan; of Shebaniah, Joseph;
14τῷ Ἀμαλοὺχ Ἰωνάθαν, τῷ Σεχενίᾳ Ἰωσήφ,
15of Harim, Adna; of Meraioth, Helkai;
15τῷ Ἀρὲ Μαννάς, τῷ Μαριὼθ Ἐλκαΐ,

20τῷ Σαλαΐ Καλλαΐ, τῷ Ἀμὲκ Ἀβέδ,
21of Hilkiah, Hashabiah; and of Jedaiah, Nethanel.
21τῷ Ἐλκίᾳ Ἀσαβίας, τῷ Ἰεδεϊοὺ Ναθαναήλ.
22In the days of Eliashib, Joiada, Johanan, and Jaddua, during the reign of Darius the Persian, the heads of the families of the Levites and priests were recorded.
22οἱ Λευῖται ἐν ἡμέραις Ἐλιασίβ, Ἰωαδὰ καὶ Ἰωὰ καὶ Ἰωανὰν καὶ Ἰδούα, γεγραμμένοι ἄρχοντες τῶν πατριῶν, καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς ἐν βασιλείᾳ Δαρείου τοῦ Πέρσου·
23As for the descendants of Levi, the family heads up to the days of Johanan son of Eliashib were recorded in the Book of the Chronicles.
23υἱοὶ δὲ Λευὶ ἄρχοντες τῶν πατριῶν γεγραμμένοι ἐπὶ βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν καὶ ἕως ἡμερῶν Ἰωανὰν υἱοῦ Ἐλισουέ.
24The leaders of the Levites were Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua son of Kadmiel, along with their associates, who stood across from them to give praise and thanksgiving as one section alternated with the other, as prescribed by David the man of God.
24καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες τῶν Λευιτῶν Ἀσαβία καὶ Σαραβία καὶ Ἰησοῦ καὶ υἱοὶ Καδμιὴλ καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτῶν κατεναντίον αὐτῶν εἰς ὕμνον αἰνεῖν ἐν ἐντολῇ Δαυὶδ ἀνθρώπου τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐφημερία πρὸς ἐφημερίαν
25Mattaniah, Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, and Akkub were gatekeepers who guarded the storerooms at the gates.
25ἐν τῷ συναγαγεῖν με τοὺς πυλωροὺς
26They served in the days of Joiakim son of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor and Ezra the priest and scribe.
26ἐν ἡμέραις Ἰωακὶμ υἱοῦ Ἰησοῦ, υἱοῦ Ἰωσεδὲκ καὶ ἐν ἡμέραις Νεεμία, καὶ Ἔσδρας ὁ ἱερεὺς καὶ γραμματεύς.
27At the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem, the Levites were sought out from all their homes and brought to Jerusalem to celebrate the joyous dedication with thanksgiving and singing, accompanied by cymbals, harps, and lyres.
27Καί ἐν ἐγκαινίοις τείχους Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἐζήτησαν τοὺς Λευίτας ἐν τοῖς τόποις αὐτῶν τοῦ ἐνέγκαι αὐτοὺς εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ ποιῆσαι ἐγκαίνια καὶ εὐφροσύνην ἐν Θωδαθὰ καὶ ἐν ᾠδαῖς, κυμβαλίζοντες καὶ ψαλτήρια καὶ κινύραι.
28The singers were also assembled from the region around Jerusalem, from the villages of the Netophathites,
28καὶ συνήχθησαν οἱ υἱοὶ τῶν ᾀδόντων καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς περιχώρου κυκλόθεν εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ ἀπὸ ἐπαύλεων
29from Beth-gilgal, and from the fields of Geba and Azmaveth, for they had built villages for themselves around Jerusalem.
29καὶ ἀπὸ ἀγρῶν· ὅτι ἐπαύλεις ᾠκοδόμησαν ἑαυτοῖς οἱ ᾄδοντες ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ.
30After the priests and Levites had purified themselves, they purified the people, the gates, and the wall.
30καὶ ἐκαθαρίσθησαν οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ οἱ Λευῖται, καὶ ἐκαθάρισαν τὸν λαὸν καὶ τοὺς πυλωροὺς καὶ τὸ τεῖχος.
31Then I brought the leaders of Judah up on the wall, and I appointed two great thanksgiving choirs. One was to proceed along the top of the wall to the right, toward the Dung Gate.
31καὶ ἀνήνεγκα τοὺς ἄρχοντας Ἰούδα ἐπάνω τοῦ τείχους καὶ ἔστησα δύο περὶ αἰνέσεως μεγάλους, καὶ διῆλθον ἐκ δεξιῶν ἐπάνω τοῦ τείχους τῆς κοπρίας,
32Hoshaiah and half the leaders of Judah followed,
32καὶ ἐπορεύθη ὀπίσω αὐτῶν Ὠσαΐα καὶ ἥμισυ ἀρχόντων Ἰούδα
33along with Azariah, Ezra, Meshullam,
33καὶ Ἀζαρίας καὶ Ἔσδρας καὶ Μεσολλάμ,
34Judah, Benjamin, Shemaiah, Jeremiah,
34καὶ Ἰούδα καὶ Βενιαμὶν καὶ Σαμαΐας καὶ Ἱερεμία
35and some of the priests with trumpets, and also Zechariah son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Micaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph,
35καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν τῶν ἱερέων ἐν σάλπιγξι Ζαχαρίας υἱὸς Ἰωνάθαν, υἱὸς Σαμαΐα, υἱὸς Ματθανία, υἱὸς Μιχαία, υἱὸς Ζακχούρ, υἱὸς Ἀσάφ·
36and his associates—Shemaiah, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, Judah, and Hanani—with the musical instruments prescribed by David the man of God. Ezra the scribe led the procession.
36καὶ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ Σαμαΐα καὶ Ὀζιήλ, Γελώλ, Ἰαμά, Ἀΐα, Ναθαναὴλ καὶ Ἰούδα, Ἀνανί, τοῦ αἰνεῖν ἐν ᾠδαῖς Δαυὶδ ἀνθρώπου Θεοῦ, καὶ Ἔσδρας ὁ γραμματεὺς ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῶν·
37At the Fountain Gate they climbed the steps of the City of David on the ascent to the wall and passed above the house of David to the Water Gate on the east.
37ἐπὶ πύλης τοῦ αἲν κατέναντι αὐτῶν ἀνέβησαν ἐπὶ κλίμακας πόλεως Δαυὶδ ἐν ἀναβάσει τοῦ τείχους ἐπάνωθεν τοῦ οἴκου Δαυὶδ καὶ ἕως τῆς πύλης τοῦ ὕδατος κατὰ ἀνατολάς.
38The second thanksgiving choir proceeded to the left, and I followed it with half the people along the top of the wall, past the Tower of the Ovens to the Broad Wall,
38καὶ περὶ αἰνέσεως ἡ δευτέρα ἐπορεύετο συναντῶσα αὐτοῖς, καὶ τὸ ἥμισυ τοῦ λαοῦ ἐπάνω τοῦ τείχους ὑπεράνω τοῦ πύργου τῶν θεννουρὶμ καὶ ἕως τοῦ τείχους τοῦ πλατέος
39over the Gate of Ephraim, the Jeshanah Gate, the Fish Gate, the Tower of Hananel, and the Tower of the Hundred, as far as the Sheep Gate. And they stopped at the Gate of the Guard.
39καὶ ὑπεράνω τῆς πύλης Ἐφραὶμ καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν πύλην ἰχθυρὰν καὶ πύργῳ Ἀναμεὴλ καὶ ἕως πύλης τῆς προβατικῆς καὶ ἔστησαν ἐν πύλῃ τῆς φυλακῆς.
40The two thanksgiving choirs then stood in the house of God, as did I, along with the half of the officials accompanying me,
40καὶ ἔστησαν αἱ δύο τῆς αἰνέσεως ἐν οἴκῳ τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ ἐγὼ καὶ τὸ ἥμισυ τῶν στρατηγῶν μετ' ἐμοῦ
41as well as the priests with their trumpets—Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah—
41καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς Ἐλιακίμ, Μαασίας, Βενιαμίν, Μιχαίας, Ἐλιωηναί, Ζαχαρίας, Ἀνανίας ἐν σάλπιγξι καὶ Μαασίας καὶ Σεμεΐας καὶ Ἐλεάζαρ καὶ Ὀζὶ καὶ Ἰωανὰθ καὶ Μελχίας καὶ Αἰλὰμ καὶ Ἐζούρ,
42and also Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malchijah, Elam, and Ezer. Then the choirs sang out under the direction of Jezrahiah.
42καὶ ἠκούσθησαν οἱ ᾄδοντες καὶ ἐπεσκέπησαν.
43On that day they offered great sacrifices, rejoicing because God had given them great joy. The women and children also rejoiced, so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard from afar.
43καὶ ἔθυσαν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ θυσιάσματα μεγάλα καὶ ηὐφράνθησαν, ὅτι ὁ Θεὸς ηὔφρανεν αὐτοὺς μεγάλως. καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες αὐτῶν καὶ τὰ τέκνα αὐτῶν ηὐφράνθησαν, καὶ ἠκούσθη ἡ εὐφροσύνη ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἀπὸ μακρόθεν.
44And on that same day men were appointed over the rooms that housed the supplies, contributions, firstfruits, and tithes. The portions specified by the Law for the priests and Levites were gathered into these storerooms from the fields of the villages, because Judah rejoiced over the priests and Levites who were serving.
44Καὶ κατέστησαν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἄνδρας ἐπὶ τῶν γαζοφυλακίων, τοῖς θυσαυροῖς, ταῖς ἀπαρχαῖς καὶ ταῖς δεκάταις καὶ τοῖς συνηγμένοις ἐν αὐτοῖς ἄρχουσι τῶν πόλεων, μερίδας τοῖς ἱερεῦσι καὶ τοῖς Λευίταις, ὅτι εὐφροσύνη ἦν ἐν Ἰούδᾳ ἐπὶ τοὺς ἱερεῖς καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς Λευίτας τοὺς ἑστῶτας.
45They performed the service of their God and the service of purification, along with the singers and gatekeepers, as David and his son Solomon had prescribed.
45καὶ ἐφύλαξαν φυλακὰς Θεοῦ αὐτῶν καὶ φυλακὰς τοῦ καθαρισμοῦ καὶ τοὺς ᾄδοντας καὶ τοὺς πυλωρούς, ὡς ἐντολαὶ Δαυὶδ καὶ Σαλωμὼν υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ.
46For long ago, in the days of David and Asaph, there were directors for the singers and for the songs of praise and thanksgiving to God.
46ὅτι ἐν ἡμέραις Δαυὶδ Ἀσὰφ ἀπ' ἀρχῆς πρῶτος τῶν ᾀδόντων καὶ ὕμνον καὶ αἴνεσιν τῷ Θεῷ.
47So in the days of Zerubbabel and Nehemiah, all Israel contributed the daily portions for the singers and gatekeepers. They also set aside daily portions for the Levites, and the Levites set aside daily portions for the descendants of Aaron.
47καὶ πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ ἐν ἡμέραις Ζοροβάβελ καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις Νεεμίου διδόντες μερίδας τῶν ᾀδόντων καὶ τῶν πυλωρῶν, λόγον ἡμέρας ἐν ἡμέρᾳ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἁγιάζοντες τοῖς Λευίταις, καὶ οἱ Λευῖται ἁγιάζοντες τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἀαρών.
