22 Οἱ Λευῖται ἐν ἡμέραις Ἐλιασὶβ, Ἰωαδὰ, καὶ Ἰωὰ, καὶ Ἰωανὰν, καὶ Ἰδούα, γεγραμμένοι ἄρχοντες τῶυ πατριῶν, καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς ἐν βασιλείᾳ Δαρείου τοῦ Πέρσου.

23 Υἱοὶ δὲ Λυεὶ ἄρχοντες τῶν πατριῶν γεγραμμένοι ἐπὶ βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν, καὶ ἕως ἡμερῶν Ἰωανὰν υἱοῦ Ἐλισουέ.

24 Καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες τῶν Λευιτῶν, Ἀσαβία, καὶ Σαραβία, καὶ Ἰησοῦ· καὶ υἱοὶ Καδμιὴλ καὶ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτῶν κατεναντίον αὐτῶν εἰς ὕμνον αἰνεῖν ἐν ἐντολῇ Δαυὶδ ἀνθρώπου τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐφημερίαν πρὸς ἐφημερίαν.

25 Ἐν τῷ συναγαγεῖν με τοὺς πυλωροὺς

26 ἐν ἡμέραις Ἰωακὶμ υἱοῦ Ἰησοῦ, υἱοῦ Ἰωσεδὲκ, καὶ ἐν ἡμέραις Νεεμία, καὶ Ἔσδρας ὁ ἱερεὺς γραμματεύς.

27 Καὶ 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.

28 Καὶ συνήχθησαν οἱ υἱοὶ τῶν ᾀδόντων καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς περιχώρου κυκλόθεν εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ ἀπὸ ἐπαύλεων,

29 καὶ ἀπὸ ἀγρῶν, ὅτι ἐπαύλεις ᾠκοδόμησαν ἑαυτοῖς οἱ ᾄδοντες ἐν Ἰερουσαλήμ.

30 Καὶ ἐκαθαρίσθησαν οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ οἱ Λευῖται, καὶ ἐκαθάρισαν τὸν λαὸν καὶ τοὺς πυλωροὺς καὶ τὸ τεῖχος.

31 Καὶ ἀνήνεγκαν τοὺς ἄρχοντας Ἰούδα ἐπάνω τοῦ τείχους· καὶ ἔστησαν δύο περὶ αἰνέσεως μεγάλους, καὶ διῆλθον ἐκ δεξιῶν ἐπάνω τοῦ τεὶχους τῆς κοπρίας.

32 Καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν ὀπίσω αὐτῶν Ὠσαΐα καὶ ἥμισυ ἀρχόντων Ἰούδα,

33 καὶ Ἀζαρίας, καὶ Ἔσδρας, καὶ Μεσολλὰμ,

34 καὶ Ἰούδα, καὶ Βενιαμὶν, καὶ Σαμαΐας, καὶ Ἱερεμὶα.

35 Καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν τῶν ἱερέων ἐν σάλπιγξι, Ζαχαρίας υἱὸς Ἰωνὰθαν, υἱὸς Σαμαΐα, υἱὸς Ματθανία, υἱὸς Μιχαία, υἱὸς Ζακχοὺρ, υἱὸς Ἀσάφ·

36 Καὶ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ, Σαμαΐα, καὶ Ὀζιὴλ, Γελὼλ, Ἰαμὰ, Ἀΐα, Ναθαναὴλ, καὶ Ἰούδα, Ανανὶ, τοῦ αἰνεῖν ἐν ᾠδαῖς Δαυὶδ ἀνθρώπου τοῦ Θεοῦ· καὶ Ἔσδρας ὁ γραμματεὺς ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῶν ἐπὶ πύλης,

37 τοῦ αἰνεῖν κατέναντι αὐτῶν· καὶ ἀνέβησαν ἐπὶ κλίμακας πόλεως Δαυὶδ ἐν ἀναβάσει τοῦ τείχους ἐπάνωθεν τοῦ οἴκου Δαυὶδ, καὶ ἕως τῆς πύλης τοῦ ὕδατος

39 Ἐφραὶμ, καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν πύλην ἰχθυρὰν, καὶ πύργῳ Ἁναμεὴλ, καὶ ἕως πύλης τῆς προβατικῆς.

42 Καὶ ἠκούσθησαν οἱ ᾄδοντες, καὶ ἐπεσκέπησαν.

43 Καὶ 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.

44 Καὶ κατέστησαν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἄνδρας ἐπὶ τῶν γαζοφυλακίων, τοῖς θησαυροῖς, ταῖς ἀπαρχαῖς, καὶ ταῖς δεκάταις, καὶ τοῖς συνηγμένοις ἐν αὐτοῖς ἄρχουσι τῶν πόλεων, μερίδας τοῖς ἱερεῦσι καὶ τοῖς Λευίταις, ὅτι εὐφροσύνη ἐν Ἰούδα ἐπὶ τοὺς ἱερεῖς, καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς Λευίτας τοὺς ἑστῶτας.

45 Καὶ ἐφύλαξαν φυλακὰς Θεοῦ αὐτῶν, καὶ φυλακὰς τοῦ καθαρισμοῦ, καὶ τοὺς ᾄδοντας, καὶ τοὺς πυλωρούς, ὡς ἐντολαὶ Δαυὶδ καὶ Σαλωμὼν υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ.

46 Ὅτι ἐν ἡμέραις Δαυὶδ Ἀσὰφ ἀπʼ ἀρχῆς πρῶτος τῶν ᾀδόντων, καὶ ὕμνον καὶ αἴνεσιν τῷ Θεῷ,

47 καὶ 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.

1 Now these are the priests and the Levites that went up with Zorobabel the son of Salathiel and Jesus: Saraia, Jeremia, Esdra,

2 Amaria, Maluch,

3 Sechenia.

7 These were the chiefs of the priests, and their brethren in the days of Jesus.

8 And the Levites were , Jesus, Banui, Cadmiel, Sarabia, Jodae, Matthania: he was over the bands, and his brethren

9 were appointed to the daily courses.

10 And Jesus begot Joakim, and Joakim begot Eliasib, and Eliasib begot Jodae,

11 and Jodae begot Jonathan, and Jonathan begot Jadu.

12 And in the days of Joakim, his brethren the priests and the heads of families were, belonging to Saraia, Amaria; to Jeremia, Anania;

13 to Esdra, Mesulam; to Amaria, Joanan;

14 to Amaluch, Jonathan; to Sechenia, Joseph;

15 to Are, Mannas; to Marioth, Elcaï;

16 to Adadai, Zacharia; to Ganathoth, Mesolam;

17 to Abia, Zechri; to Miamin, Maadai; to Pheleti, one ;

18 to Balgas, Samue; to Semia, Jonathan;

19 to Joarib, Matthanai; to Edio, Ozi;

20 to Salai, Callai; to Amec, Abed;

21 to Elkia, Asabias; to Jedeiu, Nathanael.

22 The Levites in the days of Eliasib, Joada, and Joa, and Joanan, and Idua, were recorded heads of families: also the priests, in the reign of Darius the Persian.

23 And the sons of Levi, heads of families, were written in the book of the chronicles, even to the days of Joanan son of Elisue.

24 And the heads of the Levites were Asabia, and Sarabia, and Jesu: and the sons of Cadmiel, and their brethren over against them, were to sing hymns of praise, according to the commandment of David the man of God, course by course.

25 When I gathered the porters,

26 it was in the days of Joakim son of Jesus, son of Josedec, and in the days of Neemia: and Esdras the priest was scribe.

27 And at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought the Levites in their places, to bring them to Jerusalem, to keep a feast of dedication and gladness with thanksgiving, and they sounded cymbals with songs, and had psalteries and harps.

28 And the sons of the singers were assembled both from the neighbourhood round about to Jerusalem, and from the villages,

29 and from the country: for the singers built themselves villages by Jerusalem.

30 And the priests and the Levites purified themselves, and they purified the people, and the porters, and the wall.

31 And they brought up the princes of Juda on the wall, and they appointed two great companies for thanksgiving, and they passed on the right hand on the wall of the dung-gate.

32 And after them went Osaia, and half the princes of Juda,

33 and Azarias, and Esdras, and Mesollam,

34 and Juda, and Benjamin, and Samaias and Jeremia.

35 And some of the sons of the priests with trumpets, Zacharias son of Jonathan, son of Samaias, son of Matthania, son of Michaia, son of Zacchur, son of Asaph:

36 and his brethren, Samaia, and Oziel, Gelol, Jama, Aia, Nathanael, and Juda, Anani, to praise with the hymns of David the man of God;

37 and Esdras the scribe was before them, at the gate, to praise before them, and they went up by the steps of the city of David, in the ascent of the wall, above the house of David, even to the water-gate

39 of Ephraim, and to the fish-gate, and by the tower of Anameel, and as far as the sheep-gate.

42 And the singers were heard, and were numbered.

43 And in that day they offered great sacrifices, and rejoiced; for God had made them very joyful: and their wives and their children rejoiced: and the joy in Jerusalem was heard from afar off.

44 And in that day they appointed men over the treasuries, for the treasures, the first-fruits, and the tithes, and for the chiefs of the cities who were assembled among them, to furnish portions for the priests and Levites: for there was joy in Juda over the priests and over the Levites that waited.

45 And they kept the charges of their God, and the charges of the purification, and ordered the singers and the porters, according to the commandments of David and his son Solomon.

46 For in the days of David Asaph was originally first of the singers, and they sang hymns and praise to God.

47 And all Israel in the days of Zorobabel, and in the days of Neemias, gave the portions of the singers and the porters, a daily rate: and consecrated them to the Levites: and the Levites consecrated them to the sons of Aaron.
