Estes eram os chefes dos sacerdotes e seus irmãos nos dias de Jesua. 8E os levitas foram:Jesua, Binui, Cadmiel, Serebias, Judá, e Matanias: este e seus irmãos eram responsáveis pelas ações de graças. 9E Bacbuquias e Uni, seus irmãos, em frente deles em suas responsabilidades. 10E Jesua gerou a Joiaquim, e Joiaquim gerou a Eliasibe e Eliasibe gerou a Joiada, 11E Joiada gerou a Jônatas, e Jônatas gerou a Jadua. 12E nos dias de Joiaquim os sacerdotes chefes das famílias foram: de Seraías, Meraías; de Jeremias, Hananias; 13De Esdras, Mesulão; de Amarias, Joanã; 14De Maluqui, Jônatas; de Sebanias, José; 15De Harim, Adna; de Meraiote, Helcai; 16De Ido, Zacarias; de Ginetom, Mesulão; 17De Abias, Zicri; de Miniamim, e de Moadias, Piltai; 18De Bilga, Samua; de Semaías, Jônatas; 19De Joiaribe, Matenai; de Jedaías, Uzi; 20De Salai, Calai; de Amoque, Éber; 21De Hilquias, Hasabias; de Jedaías, Natanael. 22Os Levitas nos dias de Eliasibe, de Joiada, e de Joanã e Jadua, foram escritos por chefes de famílias; como também os sacerdotes, até o reinado de Dario o persa. 23Os filhos de Levi, chefes de famílias, foram escritos no livro das crônicas até os dias de Joanã, filho de Eliasibe. 24E os chefes dos Levitas foram:Hasabias, Serebias, e Jesua filho de Cadmiel, e seus irmãos em frente deles, para louvarem e darem graças, conforme o mandamento de Davi, homem de Deus, cada um com sua responsabilidade. 25Matanias, e Bacbuquias, Obadias, Mesulão, Talmom, Acube, eram porteiros que faziam guarda às entradas das portas. 26Estes foram nos dias de Joiaquim, filho de Jesua, filho de Jozadaque, como também nos dias do governador Neemias, e do sacerdote Esdras, o escriba. 27E na dedicação dos muros de Jerusalém buscaram aos Levitas de todos os lugares, para os trazerem a Jerusalém, a fim de fazerem a dedicação com alegrias, com ações de graças, e com cânticos, com címbalos, liras e harpas. 28E assim ajuntaram os filhos dos cantores, tanto da planície ao redor de Jerusalém como das aldeias de Netofati; 29Como também da casa de Gilgal, e dos campos de Geba, e de Azmavete; porque os cantores haviam edificado para si aldeias ao redor de Jerusalém. 30E os sacerdotes e os levitas se purificaram, e depois purificaram ao povo, às portas, e ao muro. 31Então eu fiz subir aos príncipes de Judá sobre o muro, e ordenei dois coros grandes que foram em procissão: um à direita sobre o muro em direção à porta do Esterco. 32E após eles ia Hosaías, e a metade dos príncipes de Judá, 33E Azarias, Esdras, Mesulão, 34Judá, Benjamim, Semaías, e Jeremias; 35E dos filhos dos sacerdotes com trombetas, Zacarias filho de Jônatas, filho de Semaías, filho de Matanias, filho de Micaías, filho de Zacur, filho de Asafe; 36E seus irmãos Semaías, e Azareel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Natanael, Judá e Hanani, com os instrumentos musicais de Davi, homem de Deus; e o escriba Esdras ia diante deles. 37Indo assim para a porta da Fonte, e em frente deles, subiram pelas escadarias da cidade de Davi, pela subida do muro, desde acima da casa de Davi até a porta das Águas ao oriente. 38E o segundo coro ia do lado oposto, e eu atrás dele; e a metade do povo ia sobre o muro, desde a torre dos Fornos até a muralha larga; 39E desde a porta de Efraim até a porta Velha, e à porta do Peixe, e a torre de Hananeel, e a torre dos Cem, até a porta das Ovelhas; e pararam na porta da Prisão. 40Então ambos os coros pararam na casa de Deus; como também eu, e a metade dos oficiais comigo; 41E os sacerdotes, Eliaquim, Maaseias, Miniamim, Micaías, Elioenai, Zacarias, e Hananias, com trombetas; 42Como também Maaseias, Semaías, Eleazar, e Uzi, Joanã, Malquias, Elão, e Ezer. E os cantores cantavam alto, juntamente com o supervisor Jezraías. 43E sacrificaram naquele dia grandes sacrifícios, e alegraram-se; porque Deus os tinha alegrado muito; alegraram-se também a mulheres e as crianças; e o júbilo de Jerusalém foi ouvido até de longe. 44Também naquele dia foram postos homens sobre as câmaras para os tesouros, as ofertas alçadas, as primícias, e os dízimos, para juntarem nelas, dos campos das cidades, as porções da lei para os sacerdotes e os levitas; porque Judá estava alegre por causa dos sacerdotes e dos levitas que estavam servindo ali. 45E faziam a guarda de seu Deus, e a guarda da purificação, como também os cantores e os porteiros, conforme o mandamento de Davi e de seu filho Salomão. 46Porque nos dias de Davi e de Asafe, desde a antiguidade, havia chefes dos cantores, e cânticos de louvor e de ações de graças a Deus. 47E todo Israel nos dias de Zorobabel, e nos dias de Neemias, dava as porções dos cantores e dos porteiros, cada uma em seu dia; e consagravam porções aos levitas, e os levitas as consagravam aos filhos de Arão.
1Now these are the priests and the Levites who went up with Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua: Seraiah, Jeremiah, Ezra, 2Amariah, Malluch, Hattush, 3Shecaniah, Rehum, Meremoth, 4Iddo, Ginnethoi, Abijah, 5Mijamin, Maadiah, Bilgah, 6Shemaiah, and Joiarib, Jedaiah. 7Sallu, Amok, Hilkiah, Jedaiah. These were the chiefs of the priests and of their brothers in the days of Jeshua. 8Moreover the Levites: Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, and Mattaniah, who was over the thanksgiving, he and his brothers. 9Also Bakbukiah and Unno, their brothers, were over against them according to their offices. 10Jeshua became the father of Joiakim, and Joiakim became the father of Eliashib, and Eliashib became the father of Joiada, 11and Joiada became the father of Jonathan, and Jonathan became the father of Jaddua. 12In the days of Joiakim were priests, heads of fathers’ households: of Seraiah, Meraiah; of Jeremiah, Hananiah; 13of Ezra, Meshullam; of Amariah, Jehohanan; 14of Malluchi, Jonathan; of Shebaniah, Joseph; 15of Harim, Adna; of Meraioth, Helkai; 16of Iddo, Zechariah; of Ginnethon, Meshullam; 17of Abijah, Zichri; of Miniamin, of Moadiah, Piltai; 18of Bilgah, Shammua; of Shemaiah, Jehonathan; 19and of Joiarib, Mattenai; of Jedaiah, Uzzi; 20of Sallai, Kallai; of Amok, Eber; 21of Hilkiah, Hashabiah; of Jedaiah, Nethanel. 22As for the Levites, in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, and Johanan, and Jaddua, there were recorded the heads of fathers’ households; also the priests, in the reign of Darius the Persian. 23The sons of Levi, heads of fathers’ households, were written in the book of the chronicles, even until the days of Johanan the son of Eliashib. 24The chiefs of the Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua the son of Kadmiel, with their brothers over against them, to praise and give thanks, according to the commandment of David the man of God, watch next to watch. 25Mattaniah, and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub, were porters keeping the watch at the storehouses of the gates. 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. 27At 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 giving thanks, and with singing, with cymbals, stringed instruments, and with harps. 28The sons of the singers gathered themselves together, both out of the plain around Jerusalem, and from the villages of the Netophathites; 29also from Beth Gilgal, and out of the fields of Geba and Azmaveth: for the singers had built them villages around Jerusalem. 30The priests and the Levites purified themselves; and they purified the people, and the gates, and the wall. 31Then I brought up the princes of Judah on the wall, and appointed two great companies who gave thanks and went in procession. One went on the right hand on the wall toward the dung gate; 32and after them went Hoshaiah, and half of the princes of Judah, 33and Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam, 34Judah, and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah, 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; 36and his brothers, 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. 37By the spring gate, and straight before them, they went up by the stairs of the city of David, at the ascent of the wall, above the house of David, even to the water gate eastward. 38The other company of those who gave thanks went to meet them, and I after them, with the half of the people, on the wall, above the tower of the furnaces, even to the broad wall, 39and above the gate of Ephraim, and by the old gate, and by the fish gate, and the tower of Hananel, and the tower of Hammeah, even to the sheep gate: and they stood still in the gate of the guard. 40So stood the two companies of those who gave thanks in God’s house, and I, and the half of the rulers with me; 41and the priests, Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with trumpets; 42and Maaseiah, and Shemaiah, and Eleazar, and Uzzi, and Jehohanan, and Malchijah, and Elam, and Ezer. The singers sang loud, with Jezrahiah their overseer. 43They 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. 44On that day were men appointed over the rooms for the treasures, for the wave 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 who waited. 45They performed the duty of their God, and the duty of the purification, and so did the singers and the porters, according to the commandment of David, and of Solomon his son. 46For in the days of David and Asaph of old there was a chief of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving to God. 47All 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 set apart that which was for the Levites; and the Levites set apart that which was for the sons of Aaron.
1Dit nu zijn de priesters en de Levieten, die met Zerubbabel, den zoon van Sealthiel, en Jesua, optogen: Seraja, Jeremia, Ezra, 2Amarja, Malluch, Hattus, 3Sechanja, Rehum, Meremoth, 4Iddo, Ginnethoi, Abia, 5Mijamin, Maadja, Bilga, 6Semaja, en Jojarib, Jedaja, 7Sallu, Amok, Hilkia, Jedaja; dat waren de hoofden der priesteren, en hun broederen, in de dagen van Jesua. 8En de Levieten waren: Jesua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Serebja, Juda, Matthanja; hij en zijn broederen waren over de dankzeggingen. 9En Bakbukja, en Unni, hun broederen, waren tegen hen over in de wachten. 10Jesua nu gewon Jojakim, en Jojakim gewon Eljasib, en Eljasib gewon Jojada, 11En Jojada gewon Jonathan, en Jonathan gewon Jaddua. 12En in de dagen van Jojakim waren priesters, hoofden der vaderen: van Seraja was Meraja; van Jeremia, Hananja; 13Van Ezra, Mesullam; van Amarja, Johanan; 14Van Melichu, Jonathan; van Sebanja, Jozef; 15Van Harim, Adna; van Merajoth, Helkai; 16Van Iddo, Zacharia; van Ginnethon, Mesullam; 17Van Abia, Zichri; van Minjamin, van Moadja, Piltai; 18Van Bilga, Sammua; van Semaja, Jonathan; 19En van Jojarib, Matthenai; van Jedaja, Uzzi; 20Van Sallai, Kallai; van Amok, Heber; 21Van Hilkia, Hasabja; van Jedaja, Nethaneel. 22Van de Levieten werden in de dagen van Eljasib, Jojada, en Johanan, en Jaddua, de hoofden der vaderen beschreven; mitsgaders de priesteren, tot het koninkrijk van Darius, den Perziaan. 23De kinderen van Levi, de hoofden der vaderen, werden beschreven in het boek der kronieken, tot de dagen van Johanan, den zoon van Eljasib, toe. 24De hoofden dan der Levieten waren Hasabja, Serebja, en Jesua, de zoon van Kadmiel, en hun broederen tegen hen over, om te prijzen en te danken, naar het gebod van David, den man Gods, wacht tegen wacht. 25Matthanja en Bakbukja, Obadja, Mesullam, Talmon en Akkub, waren poortiers, de wacht waarnemende bij de schatkamers der poorten. 26Dezen waren in de dagen van Jojakim, den zoon van Jesua, den zoon van Jozadak, en in de dagen van Nehemia, den landvoogd, en van den priester Ezra, den schriftgeleerde. 27In de inwijding nu van Jeruzalems muur, zochten zij de Levieten uit al hun plaatsen, dat zij hen te Jeruzalem brachten, om de inwijding te doen met vreugde, en met dankzeggingen, en met gezang, cimbalen, luiten, en met harpen. 28Alzo werden de kinderen der zangers verzameld, zo uit het vlakke veld rondom Jeruzalem, als uit de dorpen van de Netofathieten; 29En uit het huis van Gilgal, en uit de velden van Geba en Asmaveth; want de zangers hadden zich dorpen gebouwd rondom Jeruzalem. 30En de priesters en de Levieten reinigden zichzelven; daarna reinigden zij het volk, en de poorten, en den muur. 31Toen deed ik de vorsten van Juda opgaan op den muur; en ik stelde twee grote dankkoren en omgangen, een ter rechterhand op den muur, naar de Mistpoort toe. 32En achter hen ging Hosaja, en de helft der vorsten van Juda. 33En Azarja, Ezra, en Mesullam, 34Juda, en Benjamin, en Semaja, en Jeremia; 35En van de priesters kinderen met trompetten: Zecharja, de zoon van Jonathan, den zoon van Semaja, den zoon van Matthanja, den zoon van Michaja, den zoon van Zakkur, den zoon van Asaf; 36En zijn broeders, Semaja, en Azareel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethaneel, en Juda, Hanani, met muziekinstrumenten van David, den man Gods; en Ezra, de schriftgeleerde, ging voor hun aangezicht heen. 37Voorts naar de Fonteinpoort, en tegen hen over, gingen zij op bij de trappen van Davids stad, door den opgang des muurs, boven Davids huis, tot aan de Waterpoort, tegen het oosten. 38Het tweede dankkoor nu ging tegenover, en ik achter hetzelve, met de helft des volks, op den muur, van boven den Bakoventoren, tot aan den breden muur; 39En van boven de poort van Efraim, en boven de Oude poort, en boven de Vispoort, en den toren Hananeel, en den toren Mea, tot aan de Schaapspoort, en zij bleven staan in de Gevangenpoort. 40Daarna stonden de beide dankkoren in Gods huis; ook ik en de helft der overheden met mij. 41En de priesters, Eljakim, Maaseja, Minjamin, Michaja, Eljoenai, Zacharja, Hananja, met trompetten; 42Voorts Maaseja, en Semaja, en Eleazar, en Uzzi, en Johanan, en Malchia, en Elam, en Ezer; ook lieten zich de zangers horen, met Jizrahja, den opziener. 43En zij offerden deszelven daags grote slachtofferen, en waren vrolijk; want God had hen vrolijk gemaakt met grote vrolijkheid; en ook waren de vrouwen en de kinderen vrolijk; zodat de vrolijkheid van Jeruzalem tot van verre gehoord werd. 44Ook werden ten zelfden dage mannen gesteld over de kameren, tot de schatten, tot de hefofferen, tot de eerstelingen en tot de tienden, om daarin uit de akkers der steden te verzamelen de delen der wet, voor de priesteren en voor de Levieten; want Juda was vrolijk over de priesteren en over de Levieten, die daar stonden. 45En de wacht huns Gods waarnamen, en de wacht der reiniging, ook de zangers, en de poortiers, naar het gebod van David en zijn zoon Salomo. 46Want in de dagen van David en Asaf, van ouds, waren er hoofden der zangers, en des lofgezangs, en der dankzeggingen tot God. 47Daarom gaf gans Israel, in de dagen van Zerubbabel, en in de dagen van Nehemia, de delen der zangers en der poortiers, van elk dagelijks op zijn dag; en zij heiligden voor de Levieten, en de Levieten heiligden voor de kinderen van Aaron.
