15 congregavi autem eos ad fluvium qui decurrit ad Ahavva et mansimus ibi diebus tribus quaesivique in populo et in sacerdotibus de filiis Levi et non inveni ibi
15
I gathered them to the river that runs to Aha'va, and there we encamped three days. As I reviewed the people and the priests, I found there none of the sons of Levi.
16 itaque misi Heliezer et Arihel et Semeam et Helnathan et Iarib et alterum Helnathan et Nathan et Zacchariam et Mesolam principes et Ioarib et Helnathan sapientes
16
Then I sent for Elie'zer, Ar'i-el, Shemai'ah, Elna'than, Jarib, Elna'than, Nathan, Zechari'ah, and Meshul'lam, leading men, and for Joi'arib and Elna'than, who were men of insight,
17 et misi eos ad Heddo qui est primus in Casphiae loco et posui in ore eorum verba quae loquerentur ad Addom et ad fratres eius Nathinneos in loco Casphiae ut adducerent nobis ministros domus Dei nostri
17
and sent them to Iddo, the leading man at the place Casiphi'a, telling them what to say to Iddo and his brethren the temple servants at the place Casiphi'a, namely, to send us ministers for the house of our God.
18 et adduxerunt nobis per manum Dei nostri bonam super nos virum doctissimum de filiis Moolli filii Levi filii Israhel et Sarabiam et filios eius et fratres eius decem et octo
18
And by the good hand of our God upon us, they brought us a man of discretion, of the sons of Mahli the son of Levi, son of Israel, namely Sherebi'ah with his sons and kinsmen, eighteen;
19 et Asabiam et cum eo Isaiam de filiis Merari fratres eius et filios eius viginti
19
also Hashabi'ah and with him Jeshai'ah of the sons of Merar'i, with his kinsmen and their sons, twenty;
20 et de Nathinneis quos dederat David et principes ad ministeria Levitarum Nathinneos ducentos viginti omnes hii suis nominibus vocabantur
20
besides two hundred and twenty of the temple servants, whom David and his officials had set apart to attend the Levites. These were all mentioned by name.
21 et praedicavi ibi ieiunium iuxta fluvium Ahavva ut adfligeremur coram Domino Deo nostro et peteremus ab eo viam rectam nobis et filiis nostris universaeque substantiae nostrae
21
Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river Aha'va, that we might humble ourselves before our God, to seek from him a straight way for ourselves, our children, and all our goods.
22 erubui enim petere regem auxilium et equites qui defenderent nos ab inimico in via quia dixeramus regi manus Dei nostri est super omnes qui quaerunt eum in bonitate et imperium eius et fortitudo eius et furor super omnes qui derelinquunt eum
22
For I was ashamed to ask the king for a band of soldiers and horsemen to protect us against the enemy on our way; since we had told the king, "The hand of our God is for good upon all that seek him, and the power of his wrath is against all that forsake him."
23 ieiunavimus autem et rogavimus Deum nostrum pro hoc et evenit nobis prospere
23
So we fasted and besought our God for this, and he listened to our entreaty.
24 et separavi de principibus sacerdotum duodecim Sarabian Asabian et cum eis de fratribus eorum decem
24
Then I set apart twelve of the leading priests: Sherebi'ah, Hashabi'ah, and ten of their kinsmen with them.
25 adpendique eis argentum et aurum et vasa consecrata domus Dei nostri quae obtulerat rex et consiliatores eius et principes eius universusque Israhel eorum qui inventi fuerant
25
And I weighed out to them the silver and the gold and the vessels, the offering for the house of our God which the king and his counselors and his lords and all Israel there present had offered;
26 et adpendi in manibus eorum argenti talenta sescenta quinquaginta et vasa argentea centum auri centum talenta
26
I weighed out into their hand six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and silver vessels worth a hundred talents, and a hundred talents of gold,
27 et crateras aureos viginti qui habebant solidos millenos et vasa aeris fulgentis optimi duo pulchra ut aurum
27
twenty bowls of gold worth a thousand darics, and two vessels of fine bright bronze as precious as gold.
28 et dixi eis vos sancti Domini et vasa sancta et argentum et aurum quod sponte oblatum est Domino Deo patrum vestrorum
28
And I said to them, "You are holy to the LORD, and the vessels are holy; and the silver and the gold are a freewill offering to the LORD, the God of your fathers.
29 vigilate et custodite donec adpendatis coram principibus sacerdotum et Levitarum et ducibus familiarum Israhel in Hierusalem et thesaurum domus Domini
29
Guard them and keep them until you weigh them before the chief priests and the Levites and the heads of fathers' houses in Israel at Jerusalem, within the chambers of the house of the LORD."
30 susceperunt autem sacerdotes et Levitae pondus argenti et auri et vasorum ut deferrent in Hierusalem in domum Dei nostri
30
So the priests and the Levites took over the weight of the silver and the gold and the vessels, to bring them to Jerusalem, to the house of our God.
31 promovimus ergo a flumine Ahavva duodecimo die mensis primi ut pergeremus Hierusalem et manus Dei nostri fuit super nos et liberavit nos de manu inimici et insidiatoris in via
31
Then we departed from the river Aha'va on the twelfth day of the first month, to go to Jerusalem; the hand of our God was upon us, and he delivered us from the hand of the enemy and from ambushes by the way.
32 et venimus Hierusalem et mansimus ibi diebus tribus
32
We came to Jerusalem, and there we remained three days.
33 die autem quarta adpensum est argentum et aurum et vasa in domo Dei nostri per manum Meremoth filii Uriae sacerdotis et cum eo Eleazar filius Finees cumque eis Iozaded filius Iosue et Noadaia filius Bennoi Levitae
33
On the fourth day, within the house of our God, the silver and the gold and the vessels were weighed into the hands of Mer'emoth the priest, son of Uri'ah, and with him was Elea'zar the son of Phin'ehas, and with them were the Levites, Jo'zabad the son of Jeshua and No-adi'ah the son of Bin'nui.
34 iuxta numerum et pondus omnium descriptumque est omne pondus in tempore illo
34
The whole was counted and weighed, and the weight of everything was recorded.
35 sed et qui venerant de captivitate filii transmigrationis obtulerunt holocaustomata Deo Israhel vitulos duodecim pro omni Israhel arietes nonaginta sex agnos septuaginta septem hircos pro peccato duodecim omnia in holocaustum Domino
35
At that time those who had come from captivity, the returned exiles, offered burnt offerings to the God of Israel, twelve bulls for all Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, and as a sin offering twelve he-goats; all this was a burnt offering to the LORD.
36 dederunt autem edicta regis satrapis qui erant de conspectu regis et ducibus trans Flumen et elevaverunt populum et domum Dei
36
They also delivered the king's commissions to the king's satraps and to the governors of the province Beyond the River; and they aided the people and the house of God.
