1Καὶ οὗτοι οἱ ἄρχοντες πατριῶν αὐτῶν οἱ ὁδηγοὶ ἀναβαίνοντες μετʼ ἐμοῦ ἐν βασιλείᾳ Ἀρθασασθὰ τοῦ βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος.
1Now these are the heads of their fathers' houses, and this is the genealogy of them that went up with me from Babylon, in the reign of Artaxerxes the king.
2Ἀπὸ υἱῶν Φινεὲς, Γηρσών· ἀπὸ υἱῶν Ἰθάμαρ, Δανιήλ· ἀπὸ υἱῶν Δαυὶδ, Ἀττούς.
2Of the sons of Phinehas, Gershom; of the sons of Ithamar, Daniel; of the sons of David, Hattush.
3Ἀπὸ υἱῶν Σαχανία, καὶ ἀπὸ υἱῶν Φόρος, Ζαχαρίας, καὶ μετ αὐτοῦ τὸ συστρεμμα ἑκατὸν καὶ πεντήκοντα.
3Of the sons of Shecaniah: of the sons of Parosh, Zechariah; and with him were reckoned by genealogy of the males a hundred and fifty.
4Ἀπὸ υἱῶν Φαὰθ Μωὰβ, Ἐλιανὰ υἱὸς Σαραΐα, καὶ μετʼ αὐτοῦ διακόσιοι τὰ ἀρσενικά.
4Of the sons of Pahath-moab, Eliehoenai the son of Zerahiah; and with him two hundred males.
5Καὶ ἀπὸ υἱῶν Ζαθόης, Σεχενίας υἱὸς Ἀζιὴλ, καὶ μετʼ αὐτοῦ τριακόσια τὰ ἀρσενικά.
5Of the sons of Shechaniah, the son of Jahaziel; and with him three hundred males.
6Καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν Ἀδὶν, Ὠβὴθ υἱὸς Ἰωνάθαν, καὶ μετʼ αὐτοῦ πεντήκοντα τὰ ἀρσενικά.
6And of the sons of Adin, Ebed the son of Jonathan; and with him fifty males.
7Καὶ ἀπὸ υἱῶν Ἠλὰμ, Ἰσαΐας υἱὸς Ἀθελία, καὶ μετʼ αὐτοῦ ἑβδομήκοντα τὰ ἀρσενικά.
7And of the sons of Elam, Jeshaiah the son of Athaliah; and with him seventy males.
8Καὶ ἀπὸ υἱῶν Σαφατία, Ζαβαδίας υἱὸς Μιχαὴλ, καὶ μετʼ αὐτοῦ ὀγδοήκοντα τὰ ἀρσενικά.
8And of the sons of Shephatiah, Zebadiah the son of Michael; and with him fourscore males.
9Καὶ ἀπὸ υἱῶν Ἰωὰβ, Ἀβαδία υἱὸς Ἰεϊὴλ, καὶ μετʼ αὐτοῦ διακόσιοι δεκαοκτὼ τὰ ἀρσενικά.
9Of the sons of Joab, Obadiah the son of Jehiel; and with him two hundred and eighteen males.
10Καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν Βαανὶ, Σελιμοὺθ υἱὸς Ἰωσεφία, καὶ μετʼ αὐτοῦ ἑκατὸν ἑξήκοντα τὰ ἀρσενικά.
10And of the sons of Shelomith, the son of Josiphiah; and with him a hundred and threescore males.
11Καὶ ἀπὸ υἱῶν Βαβὶ, Ζαχαρίας υἱὸς Βαβὶ, καὶ μετʼ αὐτοῦ εἰκοσιοκτὼ τὰ ἀρσενικά.
11And of the sons of Bebai, Zechariah the son of Bebai; and with him twenty and eight males.
12Καὶ ἀπὸ υἱῶν Ἀσγὰδ, Ἰωανὰν υἱὸς Ἀκκατὰν, καὶ μετʼ αὐτοῦ ἑκατὸν δέκα τὰ ἀρσενικά.
12And of the sons of Azgad, Johanan the son of Hakkatan; and with him a hundred and ten males.
13Καὶ ἀπὸ υἱῶν Ἀδωνικὰμ ἔσχατοι, καὶ ταῦτα τὰ ὀνόματα αὐτῶν, Ἐλιφαλὰτ, Ἰεὴλ, καὶ Σαμαΐα, καὶ μετʼ αὐτῶν ἑξήκοντα τὰ ἀρσενικά.
13And of the sons of Adonikam, that were the last; and these are their names, Eliphelet, Jeiel, and Shemaiah; and with them threescore males.
14Καὶ ἀπὸ υἱῶν Βαγουαῒ, Οὐθαῒ καὶ Ζαβοὺδ, καὶ μετʼ αὐτοῦ ἑβδομήκοντα τὰ ἀρσενικά.
14And of the sons of Bigvai, Uthai and Zaccur; and with him seventy males.
15Καὶ συνῆξα αὐτοὺς πρὸς τὸν ποταμὸν τὸν ἐρχόμενον πρὸς τὸν Εὐὶ, καὶ παρενεβάλομεν ἐκεῖ ἡμέρας τρεῖς· καὶ συνῆκα ἐν τῷ λαῷ καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἱερεῦσι, καὶ ἀπὸ υἱῶν Λευὶ οὐχ εὗρον ἐκεῖ.
15And I gathered them together to the river that runneth to Ahava; and there we encamped three days; and I viewed the people, and the priests, and found there none of the sons of Levi.
16Καὶ ἀπέστειλα τῷ Ἐλεάζαρ, τῷ Ἀριὴλ, τῷ Σεμεΐᾳ, καὶ τῷ Ἀλωνὰμ, καὶ τῷ Ἰαρὶβ, καὶ τῷ Ἐλνάθαμ, καὶ τῷ Νάθαν, καὶ τῷ Ζαχαρίᾳ, καὶ τῷ Μεσολλὰμ, καὶ τῷ Ἰωαρὶμ, καὶ τῷ Ἐλνάθαν, συνιέντας.
16Then 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, teachers.
17Καὶ ἐξήνεγκα αὐτοὺς ἐπὶ ἄρχοντας ἐν ἀργυρίῳ τοῦ τόπου, καὶ ἔθηκα ἐν στόματι αὐτῶν λόγους λαλῆσαι πρὸς τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτῶν τῶν Ἀθινεὶμ ἐν ἀργυρίῳ τοῦ τόπου, τοῦ ἐνέγκαι ἡμῖν ᾄδοντας εἰς οἶκον Θεοῦ ἡμῶν.
17And I gave them commandment unto Iddo the chief at the place Casiphia; and I told them what they should say unto Iddo and his brother, who were set over the place Casiphia, that they should bring unto us ministers for the house of our God.
18Καὶ ἤλθοσαν ἡμῖν ὡς χεὶρ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν ἀγαθὴ ἐφʼ ἡμᾶς, ἀνὴρ σαχὼν ἀπὸ υἱῶν Μοολὶ, υἱοῦ Λευὶ, υἱοῦ Ἰσραήλ· καὶ ἀρχὴν ἦλθον οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ δεκαοκτώ·
18And according to the good hand of our God upon us they brought us a man of discretion, of the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel; and Sherebiah, with his sons and his brethren, eighteen;
19Καὶ τὸν Ἀσεβία, καὶ τὸν Ἰσαΐα ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν Μεραρὶ, ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ εἴκοσι.
19and Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah of the sons of Merari, his brethren and their sons, twenty;
20Καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν Ναθινὶμ, ὧν ἔδωκε Δαυὶδ καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες εἰς δουλείαν τῶν Λευιτῶν, Ναθινὶμ διακόσιοι εἴκοσι, πάντες συνήχθησαν ἐν ὀνόμασι.
20and of the Nethinim, whom David and the princes had given for the service of the Levites, two hundred and twenty Nethinim; all of them were mentioned by name.
21Καὶ ἐκάλεσα ἐκεῖ νηστείαν ἐπὶ τὸν ποταμὸν Ἀουὲ, τοῦ ταπεινωθῆναι ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν, ζητῆσαι παρʼ αὐτοῦ ὁδὸν εὐθείαν ἡμῖν καὶ τοῖς τέκνοις ἡμῶν καὶ πάσῃ τῇ κτήσει ἡμῶν·
21Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God, to seek of Him a straight way, for us, and for our little ones, and for all our substance.
22Ὅτι ᾐσχύνθην αἰτήσασθαι παρὰ τοῦ βασιλέως δύναμιν καὶ ἱππεῖς σῶσαι ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ ἐχθροῦ ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ, ὅτι εἴπαμεν τῷ βασιλεῖ, λέγοντες, χεὶρ τοῦ Θεου ἡμῶν ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς ζητοῦντας αὐτὸν εἰς ἀγαθόν· καὶ κράτος αὐτοῦ, καὶ θυμὸς αὐτοῦ, ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς ἐγκαταλείποντας αὐτόν.
22For I was ashamed to ask of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way; because we had spoken unto the king, saying: 'The hand of our God is upon all them that seek Him, for good; but His power and His wrath is against all them that forsake Him.'
23Καὶ ἐνηστεύσαμεν, καὶ ἐζητήσαμεν παρὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν περὶ τούτου, καὶ ἐπήκουσεν ἡμῖν.
23So we fasted and besought our God for this; and He was entreated of us.
24Καὶ διέστειλα ἀπὸ ἀρχόντων τῶν ἱερέων δώδεκα, τῷ Σαραΐα, τῷ Ἀσαβία, καὶ μετʼ αὐτῶν ἀπὸ ἀδελφῶν αὐτῶν δέκα.
24Then I separated twelve of the chiefs of the priests, besides Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brethren with them,
25Καὶ ἔστησα αὐτοῖς τὸ ἀργύριον καὶ τὸ χρυσίον καὶ τὰ σκεύη ἀπαρχῆς οἴκου Θεοῦ ἡμῶν, ἃ ὕψωσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ οἱ σύμβουλοι αὐτοῦ καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες αὐτοῦ, καὶ πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ οἱ εὑρισκόμενοι.
25and weighed unto them the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, even the offering for the house of our God, which the king, and his counsellors, and his princes, and all Israel there present, had offered;
26Καὶ ἔστησα ἐπὶ χεῖρας αὐτῶν ἀργυρίου τάλαντα ἑξακόσια πεντήκοντα, καὶ σκεύη ἀργυρᾶ ἑκατὸν, καὶ τάλαντα χρυσίου ἑκατὸν,
26I even weighed into their hand six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and silver vessels a hundred talents; of gold a hundred talents;
27καὶ χαφουρῆ χρυσοῖ εἴκοσι εἰς τὴν ὁδὸν χίλιοι, καὶ σκεύη χαλκοῦ στίλβοντος ἀγαθοῦ διάφορα ἐπιθυμητὰ ἐν χρυσίῳ.
27and twenty bowels of gold, of a thousand darics; and two vessels of fine bright brass, precious as gold.
28Καὶ εἶπα πρὸς αὐτοὺς, ὑμεῖς ἅγιοι τῷ Κυρίῳ, καὶ τὰ σκεύη ἅγια, καὶ τὸ ἀργύριον καὶ τὸ χρυσίον ἑκούσια τῷ Κυρίῳ Θεῷ πατέρων ἡμῶν.
28And I said unto them: 'Ye are holy unto the LORD, and the vessels are holy; and the silver and the gold are a freewill-offering unto the LORD, the God of your fathers.
29Ἀγρυπνεῖτε καὶ τηρεῖτε ἕως στῆτε ἐνώπιον ἀρχόντων τῶν ἱερέων καὶ τῶν Λευιτῶν καὶ τῶν ἀρχόντων τῶν πατριῶν ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ εἰς σκηνὰς οἴκου Κυρίου.
29Watch ye, and keep them, until ye weigh them before the chiefs of the priests and the Levites, and the princes of the fathers' houses of Israel, at Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of the LORD.'
30Καὶ ἐδέξαντο οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ οἱ Λευῖται σταθμὸν τοῦ ἀργυρίου καὶ τοῦ χρυσίου καὶ τῶν σκευῶν, ἐνεγκεῖν εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ εἰς οἶκον Θεοῦ ἡμῶν.
30So the priests and the Levites received the weight of the silver and the gold, and the vessels, to bring them to Jerusalem unto the house of our God.
31Καὶ ἐξῄραμεν ἀπὸ τοῦ ποταμοῦ τοῦ Ἀουὲ ἐν τῇ δωδεκάτῃ τοῦ μηνὸς τοῦ πρώτου τοῦ ἐλθεῖν εἰς Ἱερουσαλήμ· καὶ χεὶρ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν ἦν ἐφʼ ἡμῖν, καὶ ἐῤῥύσατο ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ χειρὸς ἐχθροῦ καὶ πολεμίου ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ.
31Then we departed from the river of Ahava on the twelfth day of the first month, to go unto Jerusalem; and the hand of our God was upon us, and He delivered us from the hand of the enemy and lier-in-wait by the way.
32Καὶ ἤλθομεν εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ ἐκαθίσαμεν ἐκεῖ ἡμέρας τρεῖς.
32And we came to Jerusalem, and abode there three days.
33Καὶ ἐγενήθη τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τετάρτῃ ἐστήσαμεν τὸ ἀργύριον καὶ τὸ χρυσίον καὶ τὰ σκεύη ἐν οἴκῳ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν ἐπὶ χεῖρα Μεριμὼθ υἱοῦ Οὐρία τοῦ ἱερέως, καὶ μετʼ αὐτοῦ Ἐλεάζαρ υἱὸς Φινεὲς, καὶ μετʼ αὐτῶν Ἰωζαβὰδ υἱὸς Ἰησοῦ, καὶ Νωαδία υἱὸς Βαναΐα οἱ Λευῖται.
33And on the fourth day was the silver and the gold and the vessels weighed in the house of our God into 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, the Levites;
34Ἐν ἀριθμῷ καὶ ἐν σταθμῷ τὰ πάντα, καὶ ἐγράφη πᾶς ὁ σταθμός.
34the whole by number and by weight; and all the weight was written at that time.
35Ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ οἱ ἐλθόντες ἐκ τῆς αἰχμαλωσίας υἱοὶ τῆς παροικίας, προσήνεγκαν ὁλοκαυτώσεις τῷ Θεῷ Ἰσραὴλ, μόσχους δώδεκα περὶ παντὸς Ἰσραὴλ, κριοὺς ἐννενηκανταὲξ, ἀμνοὺς ἑβδομηκονταεπτὰ, χιμάρους περὶ ἁμαρτίας δώδεκα, τὰ πάντα ὁλοκαυτώματα τῷ Κυρίῳ·
35The children of the captivity, that were come out of exile, offered burnt-offerings unto 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 unto the LORD.
36Καὶ ἔδωκαν τὸ νόμισμα τοῦ βασιλέως τοῖς διοικηταῖς τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ ἐπάρχοις πέραν τοῦ ποταμοῦ· καὶ ἐδόξασαν τὸν λαὸν καὶ τὸν οἶκον τοῦ Θεοῦ.
36And they delivered the king's commissions unto the king's satraps, and to the governors beyond the River; and they furthered the people and the house of God.
