1Now these are the priests and the Levites that went up with Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua: Seraiah, Jeremiah, Ezra;
1Hi sunt autem sacerdotes et Levitæ, qui ascenderunt cum Zorobabel filio Salathiel, et Josue: Saraia, Jeremias, Esdras,
2Amariah, Malluch, Hattush;
2Amaria, Melluch, Hattus,
3Shecaniah, Rehum, Meremoth;

4Iddo, Ginnethoi, Abijah;
4Addo, Genthon, Abia,

6Shemaiah, and Joiarib, Jedaiah;
6Semeia, et Jojarib, Idaia, Sellum, Amoc, Helcias,
7Sallu, Amok, Hilkiah, Jedaiah. These were the chiefs of the priests and their brethren in the days of Jeshua.
7Idaia. Isti principes sacerdotum, et fratres eorum in diebus Josue.
8Moreover the Levites: Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, and Mattaniah, who was over the thanksgiving, he and his brethren.
8Porro Levitæ, Jesua, Bennui, Cedmihel, Sarebia, Juda, Mathanias, super hymnos ipsi et fratres eorum:
9Also Bakbukiah and Unni, their brethren, were over against them in wards.
9et Becbecia atque Hanni, et fratres eorum, unusquisque in officio suo.
10And Jeshua begot Joiakim, and Joiakim begot Eliashib, and Eliashib begot Joiada,
10Josue autem genuit Joacim, et Joacim genuit Eliasib, et Eliasib genuit Jojada,
11and Joiada begot Jonathan and Jonathan begot Jaddua.
11et Jojada genuit Jonathan, et Jonathan genuit Jeddoa.
12And in the days of Joiakim were priests, heads of fathers' houses: of Seraiah, Meraiah; of Jeremiah, Hananiah;
12In diebus autem Joacim erant sacerdotes et principes familiarum: Saraiæ, Maraia: Jeremiæ, Hanania:
13of Ezra, Meshullam; of Amariah, Jehohanan;
13Esdræ, Mosollam: Amariæ, Johanan:
14of Melicu, Jonathan; of Shebaniah, Joseph;
14Milicho, Jonathan: Sebeniæ, Joseph:
15of Harim, Adna; of Meraioth, Helkai;
15Haram, Edna: Maraioth, Helci:
16of Iddo, Zechariah; of Ginnethon, Meshullam;
16Adaiæ, Zacharia: Genthon, Mosollam:
17of Abijah, Zichri; of Miniamin; of Moadiah, Piltai;
17Abiæ, Zechri: Miamin et Moadiæ, Phelti:
18of Bilgah, Shammua; of Shemaiah, Jehonathan;
18Belgæ, Sammua: Semaiæ, Jonathan:
19and of Joiarib, Mattenai; of Jedaiah, Uzzi;
19Jojarib, Mathanai: Jodaiæ, Azzi:
20of Sallai, Kallai; of Amok, Eber;
20Sellai, Celai: Amoc, Heber:
21of Hilkiah, Hashabiah; of Jedaiah, Nethanel.
21Helciæ, Hasebia: Idaiæ, Nathanaël.
22The Levites in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, and Johanan, and Jaddua, were recorded heads of fathers' houses; also the priests, in the reign of Darius the Persian.
22Levitæ in diebus Eliasib, et Jojada, et Johanan, et Jeddoa, scripti principes familiarum, et sacerdotes in regno Darii Persæ.
23The sons of Levi, heads of fathers' houses, were written in the book of the chronicles, even until the days of Johanan the son of Eliashib.
23Filii Levi principes familiarum, scripti in libro verborum dierum, et usque ad dies Jonathan, filii Eliasib.
24And the chiefs of the Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua the son of Kadmiel, with their brethren over against them, to praise and give thanks, according to the commandment of David the man of God, ward against ward.
24Et principes Levitarum, Hasebia, Serebia, et Josue filius Cedmihel: et fratres eorum per vices suas, ut laudarent et confiterentur juxta præceptum David viri Dei, et observarent æque per ordinem.
25Mattaniah, and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub, were porters keeping the ward at the store-houses of the gates.
25Mathania, et Becbecia, Obedia, Mosollam, Telmon, Accub, custodes portarum et vestibulorum ante portas.
26These were in the days of Joiakim the son of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor, and of Ezra the priest the scribe.
26Hi in diebus Joacim filii Josue, filii Josedec, et in diebus Nehemiæ ducis, et Esdræ sacerdotis scribæque.
27And 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 with gladness, both with thanksgivings, and with singing, with cymbals, psalteries, and with harps.
27In dedicatione autem muri Jerusalem, requisierunt Levitas de omnibus locis suis ut adducerent eos in Jerusalem, et facerent dedicationem et lætitiam in actione gratiarum, et cantico, et in cymbalis, psalteriis, et citharis.
28And the sons of the singers gathered themselves together, both out of the Plain round about Jerusalem, and from the villages of the Netophathites;
28Congregati sunt autem filii cantorum de campestribus circa Jerusalem, et de villis Nethuphathi,
29also from Beth-gilgal, and out of the fields of Geba and Azmaveth; for the singers had builded them villages round about Jerusalem.
29et de domo Galgal, et de regionibus Geba et Azmaveth: quoniam villas ædificaverunt sibi cantores in circuitu Jerusalem.
30And the priests and the Levites purified themselves; and they purified the people, and the gates, and the wall.
30Et mundati sunt sacerdotes et Levitæ, et mundaverunt populum, et portas, et murum.
31Then I brought up the princes of Judah upon the wall, and appointed two great companies that gave thanks and went in procession: on the right hand upon the wall toward the dung gate;
31Ascendere autem feci principes Juda super murum, et statui duos magnos choros laudantium. Et ierunt ad dexteram super murum ad portam sterquilinii.
32and after them went Hoshaiah, and half of the princes of Judah;
32Et ivit post eos Osaias, et media pars principum Juda,
33and Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam,
33et Azarias, Esdras, et Mosollam, Judas, et Benjamin, et Semeia, et Jeremias.
34Judah, and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah;
34Et de filiis sacerdotum in tubis, Zacharias filius Jonathan, filius Semeiæ, filius Mathaniæ, filius Michaiæ, filius Zechur, filius Asaph,
35and certain of the priests' sons with trumpets: Zechariah the son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Micaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph;
35et fratres ejus Semeia, et Azareel, Malalai, Galalai, Maai, Nathanaël, et Judas, et Hanani, in vasis cantici David viri Dei: et Esdras scriba ante eos in porta fontis.
36and his brethren, Shemaiah, and Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, and Judah, Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God; and Ezra the scribe was before them;
36Et contra eos ascenderunt in gradibus civitatis David in ascensu muri super domum David, et usque ad portam aquarum ad orientem.
37and by the 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 unto the water gate eastward.
37Et 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,
38And the other company of them that gave thanks went to meet them, and I after them, with the half of the people, upon the wall, above the tower of the furnaces, even unto the broad wall;
38et 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,
39and above the gate of Ephraim, and by the gate of the old city and by the fish gate, and the tower of Hananel, and the tower of Hammeah, even unto the sheep gate; and they stood still in the gate of the guard.
39steteruntque duo chori laudantium in domo Dei, et ego, et dimidia pars magistratuum mecum.
40So stood the two companies of them that gave thanks in the house of God, and I, and the half of the rulers with me;
40Et sacerdotes, Eliachim, Maasia, Miamin, Michea, Elioënai, Zacharia, Hanania in tubis,
41and the priests, Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with trumpets;
41et Maasia, et Semeia, et Eleazar, et Azzi, et Johanan, et Melchia, et Ælam, et Ezer. Et clare cecinerunt cantores, et Jezraia præpositus:
42and Maaseiah, and Shemaiah, and Eleazar, and Uzzi, and Jehohanan, and Malchijah, and Elam, and Ezer. And the singers sang loud, with Jezrahiah their overseer.
42et 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 Jerusalem procul.
43And they offered great sacrifices that day, and rejoiced; for God had made them rejoice with great joy; and the women also and the children rejoiced; so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard even afar off.
43Recensuerunt 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 Juda in sacerdotibus et Levitis adstantibus.
44And on that day were men appointed over the chambers for the treasures, for the heave-offerings, for the first-fruits, and for the tithes, to gather into them, according to the fields of the cities, the portions appointed by the law for the priests and Levites; for Judah rejoiced for the priests and for the Levites that took their stations.
44Et custodierunt observationem Dei sui, et observationem expiationis, et cantores, et janitores juxta præceptum David, et Salomonis filii ejus,
45And they kept the ward of their God, and the ward of the purification, and so did the singers and the porters, according to the commandment of David, and of Solomon his son.
45quia in diebus David et Asaph ab exordio erant principes constituti cantorum in carmine laudantium et confitentium Deo.
46For in the days of David and Asaph of old there were chief of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving unto God.
46Et omnis Israël in diebus Zorobabel et in diebus Nehemiæ, dabant partes cantoribus et janitoribus per dies singulos, et sanctificabant Levitas, et Levitæ sanctificabant filios Aaron.
47And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah, gave the portions of the singers and the porters, as every day required; and they hallowed for the Levites; and the Levites hallowed for the sons of Aaron.
