During the reign of Darius the Persian, a record was also kept of the Levites and priests who had been heads of their fathers’ houses in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, Johanan, and Jaddua.
And the heads of the Levites were Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua the son of Kadmiel, with their brothers across from them, to praise and give thanks, group[p] alternating with group, according to the command of David the man of God.
А вождями левитов были Хашавия, Шеревия, Иисус, сын Кадмиила, и их собратья, которые стояли напротив них, чтобы воздавать хвалу и благодарения, — один хор напротив другого, как предписано Божьим человеком Давидом.
These lived in the days of Joiakim the son of Jeshua, the son of [q]Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor, and of Ezra the priest, the scribe.
Now at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought out the Levites in all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem to celebrate the dedication with gladness, both with thanksgivings and singing, with cymbals and stringed instruments and harps.
На освящение иерусалимской стены из всех местностей, где они жили, были вызваны и приведены в Иерусалим левиты, чтобы радостно отпраздновать освящение с песнями благодарения, под музыку тарелок, лир и арф.
So I brought the leaders of Judah up on the wall, and appointed two large thanksgiving choirs. One went to the right hand on the wall toward the Refuse Gate.
Я возвел вождей Иудеи на стену и назначил два больших хора, чтобы они возносили хвалу и шли в шествии. Один из них пошел по правой стороне стены, к Навозным воротам.
and some of the priests’ sons with trumpets — Zechariah the son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Michaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph,
and his brethren, Shemaiah, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, Judah, and Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God. And Ezra the scribe went before them.
и его собратья — Шемая, Азариил, Милалай, Гилалай, Маай, Нафанаил, Иуда и Ханани — с музыкальными инструментами, которые были определены Давидом, человеком Бога. Возглавлял шествие книжник Ездра.
By the Fountain Gate, in front of them, they went up the stairs of the City of David, on the stairway of the wall, beyond the house of David, as far as the Water Gate eastward.
У ворот Источника — прямо перед ними — они поднялись по ступеням Города Давида на возвышение стены, прошли над домом Давида и далее, до Водных ворот на востоке.
The other thanksgiving choir went the opposite way, and I was behind them with half of the people on the wall, going past the Tower of the Ovens as far as the Broad Wall,
and above the Gate of Ephraim, above the Old Gate, above the Fish Gate, the Tower of Hananel, the Tower of [r]the Hundred, as far as the Sheep Gate; and they stopped by the Gate of the Prison.
Also that day they offered great sacrifices, and rejoiced, for God had made them rejoice with great joy; the women and the children also rejoiced, so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard afar off.
В тот день они принесли великие жертвы и радовались, потому что Бог даровал им великую радость. Женщины и дети тоже радовались. Крики радости в Иерусалиме были слышны далеко вокруг.
And at the same time some were appointed over the rooms of the storehouse for the offerings, the firstfruits, and the tithes, to gather into them from the fields of the cities the portions specified by the Law for the priests and Levites; for Judah rejoiced over the priests and Levites who [u]ministered.
В тот же день были назначены люди, чьей заботе были вверены хранилища для пожертвований, первых плодов и десятин. С полей вокруг городов они должны были собирать в хранилища доли, назначенные Законом для священников и левитов, ведь иудеи были довольны их служением.
Both the singers and the gatekeepers kept the charge of their God and the charge of the purification, according to the command of David and Solomon his son.
In the days of Zerubbabel and in the days of Nehemiah all Israel gave the portions for the singers and the gatekeepers, a portion for each day. They also [v]consecrated holy things for the Levites, and the Levites consecrated them for the children of Aaron.
И во дни Зоровавеля и Неемии весь Израиль давал ежедневные доли для певцов и привратников. Еще они отделяли часть для остальных левитов, а левиты отделяли часть для потомков Аарона.
