Ezra 8

1And these are the heads of their families, the leaders that went up with me in the reign of Arthasastha the king of Babylon.Καὶ οὗτοι οἱ ἄρχοντες πατριῶν αὐτῶν οἱ ὁδηγοὶ ἀναβαίνοντες μετʼ ἐμοῦ ἐν βασιλείᾳ Ἀρθασασθὰ τοῦ βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος.

2Of the sons of Phinees; Gerson: of the sons of Ithamar; Daniel: of the sons of David; Attus.Ἀπὸ υἱῶν Φινεὲς, Γηρσών· ἀπὸ υἱῶν Ἰθάμαρ, Δανιήλ· ἀπὸ υἱῶν Δαυὶδ, Ἀττούς.

3Of the sons of Sachania, and the sons of Phoros; Zacharias: and with him a company of one hundred and fifty.Ἀπὸ υἱῶν Σαχανία, καὶ ἀπὸ υἱῶν Φόρος, Ζαχαρίας, καὶ μετ αὐτοῦ τὸ συστρεμμα ἑκατὸν καὶ πεντήκοντα.

4Of the sons of Phaath-Moab; Eliana the son of Saraia, and with him two hundred that were males.Ἀπὸ υἱῶν Φαὰθ Μωὰβ, Ἐλιανὰ υἱὸς Σαραΐα, καὶ μετʼ αὐτοῦ διακόσιοι τὰ ἀρσενικά.

5And of the sons of Zathoes; Sechenias the son of Aziel, and with him three hundred males.Καὶ ἀπὸ υἱῶν Ζαθόης, Σεχενίας υἱὸς Ἀζιὴλ, καὶ μετʼ αὐτοῦ τριακόσια τὰ ἀρσενικά.

6And of the sons of Adin; Obeth the son of Jonathan, and with him fifty males.Καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν Ἀδὶν, Ὠβὴθ υἱὸς Ἰωνάθαν, καὶ μετʼ αὐτοῦ πεντήκοντα τὰ ἀρσενικά.

7And of the sons of Elam; Isaeas the son of Athelia, and with him seventy males.Καὶ ἀπὸ υἱῶν Ἠλὰμ, Ἰσαΐας υἱὸς Ἀθελία, καὶ μετʼ αὐτοῦ ἑβδομήκοντα τὰ ἀρσενικά.

8And of the sons of Saphatia; Zabadias the son of Michael, and with him eighty males.Καὶ ἀπὸ υἱῶν Σαφατία, Ζαβαδίας υἱὸς Μιχαὴλ, καὶ μετʼ αὐτοῦ ὀγδοήκοντα τὰ ἀρσενικά.

9And of the sons of Joab; Abadia the son of Jeiel, and with him two hundred and eighteen males.Καὶ ἀπὸ υἱῶν Ἰωὰβ, Ἀβαδία υἱὸς Ἰεϊὴλ, καὶ μετʼ αὐτοῦ διακόσιοι δεκαοκτὼ τὰ ἀρσενικά.

10And of the sons of Baani; Selimuth the son of Josephia, and with him one hundred and sixty males.Καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν Βαανὶ, Σελιμοὺθ υἱὸς Ἰωσεφία, καὶ μετʼ αὐτοῦ ἑκατὸν ἑξήκοντα τὰ ἀρσενικά.

11And of the sons of Babi; Zacharias the son of Babi, and with him twenty-eight males.Καὶ ἀπὸ υἱῶν Βαβὶ, Ζαχαρίας υἱὸς Βαβὶ, καὶ μετʼ αὐτοῦ εἰκοσιοκτὼ τὰ ἀρσενικά.

12And of the sons of Asgad; Joanan the son of Accatan, and with him one hundred and ten males.Καὶ ἀπὸ υἱῶν Ἀσγὰδ, Ἰωανὰν υἱὸς Ἀκκατὰν, καὶ μετʼ αὐτοῦ ἑκατὸν δέκα τὰ ἀρσενικά.

13And of the sons of Adonicam were the last, and these were their names, Eliphalat, Jeel, and Samaea, and with them sixty males.Καὶ ἀπὸ υἱῶν Ἀδωνικὰμ ἔσχατοι, καὶ ταῦτα τὰ ὀνόματα αὐτῶν, Ἐλιφαλὰτ, Ἰεὴλ, καὶ Σαμαΐα, καὶ μετʼ αὐτῶν ἑξήκοντα τὰ ἀρσενικά.

14And of the sons of Baguae, Uthai, and Zabud, and with him seventy males.Καὶ ἀπὸ υἱῶν Βαγουαῒ, Οὐθαῒ καὶ Ζαβοὺδ, καὶ μετʼ αὐτοῦ ἑβδομήκοντα τὰ ἀρσενικά.

15And I gathered them to the river that comes to Evi, and we encamped there three days: and I reviewed the people and the priests, and found none of the sons of Levi there.Καὶ 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.

16And I sent men of understanding to Eleazar, to Ariel, to Semeias, and to Alonam, and to Jarib, and to Elnatham, and to Nathan, and to Zacharias, and to Mesollam, and to Joarim, and to Elnathan.Καὶ 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.

17And I forwarded them to the rulers with the money of the place, and I put words in their mouth to speak to their brethren the Athinim with the money of the place, that they should bring us singers for the house of our God.Καὶ 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.

18And they came to us, as the good hand of our God was upon us, even a man of understanding of the sons of Mooli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel, and at the commencement came his sons and his brethren, eighteen.Καὶ 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·

19And Asebia, and Isaia of the sons of Merari, his brethren and his sons, twenty.Καὶ τὸν Ἀσεβία, καὶ τὸν Ἰσαΐα ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν Μεραρὶ, ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ εἴκοσι.

20And of the Nathinim; whom David and the princes had appointed for the service of the Levites there were two hundred and twenty Nathinim; all were gathered by their names.Καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν Ναθινὶμ, ὧν ἔδωκε Δαυὶδ καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες εἰς δουλείαν τῶν Λευιτῶν, Ναθινὶμ διακόσιοι εἴκοσι, πάντες συνήχθησαν ἐν ὀνόμασι.

21And I proclaimed there a fast, at the river Aue, that we should humble ourselves before our God, to seek of him a straight way for us, and for our children, and for all our property.Καὶ 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·

22For I was ashamed to ask of the king a guard and horsemen to save us from the enemy in the way: for we had spoken to the king, saying, The hand of our God is upon all that seek him, for good; but his power and his wrath are upon all that forsake him.Ὅτι 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.

23So we fasted, and asked of our God concerning this; and he listened to us.Καὶ ἐνηστεύσαμεν, καὶ ἐζητήσαμεν παρὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν περὶ τούτου, καὶ ἐπήκουσεν ἡμῖν.

24And I gave charge to twelve of the chiefs of the priests, to Saraia, to Asabia, and ten of their brethren with them.Καὶ διέστειλα ἀπὸ ἀρχόντων τῶν ἱερέων δώδεκα, τῷ Σαραΐα, τῷ Ἀσαβία, καὶ μετʼ αὐτῶν ἀπὸ ἀδελφῶν αὐτῶν δέκα.

25And I weighed to them the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of the first fruits of the house of our God, which the king, and his councillors, and his princes, and all Israel that were found, had dedicated.Καὶ 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.

26I even weighed into their hands six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and one hundred silver vessels, and one hundred talents of gold;Καὶ ἔστησα ἐπὶ χεῖρας αὐτῶν ἀργυρίου τάλαντα ἑξακόσια πεντήκοντα, καὶ σκεύη ἀργυρᾶ ἑκατὸν, καὶ τάλαντα χρυσίου ἑκατὸν,

27and twenty golden bowls, weighing about a thousand drachmas, and superior vessels of fine shining brass, precious as gold.καὶ χαφουρῆ χρυσοῖ εἴκοσι εἰς τὴν ὁδὸν χίλιοι, καὶ σκεύη χαλκοῦ στίλβοντος ἀγαθοῦ διάφορα ἐπιθυμητὰ ἐν χρυσίῳ.

28And I said to them, You are holy to the Lord; and the vessels are holy; and the silver and the gold are free will offerings to the Lord God of our fathers.Καὶ εἶπα πρὸς αὐτοὺς, ὑμεῖς ἅγιοι τῷ Κυρίῳ, καὶ τὰ σκεύη ἅγια, καὶ τὸ ἀργύριον καὶ τὸ χρυσίον ἑκούσια τῷ Κυρίῳ Θεῷ πατέρων ἡμῶν.

29Be watchful and keep them, until you weigh them before the chief priests and the Levites, and the chiefs of families in Jerusalem, at the chambers of the house of the Lord.Ἀγρυπνεῖτε καὶ τηρεῖτε ἕως στῆτε ἐνώπιον ἀρχόντων τῶν ἱερέων καὶ τῶν Λευιτῶν καὶ τῶν ἀρχόντων τῶν πατριῶν ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ εἰς σκηνὰς οἴκου Κυρίου.

30So the priests and the Levites took the weight of the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, to bring to Jerusalem into the house of our God.Καὶ ἐδέξαντο οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ οἱ Λευῖται σταθμὸν τοῦ ἀργυρίου καὶ τοῦ χρυσίου καὶ τῶν σκευῶν, ἐνεγκεῖν εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ εἰς οἶκον Θεοῦ ἡμῶν.

31And we departed from the river of Aue on the twelfth day of the first month, to come to Jerusalem: and the hand of our God was upon us, and delivered us from the hand of the enemy and adversary in the way.Καὶ 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.

32And we came to Jerusalem, and abode there three days.Καὶ ἤλθομεν εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ ἐκαθίσαμεν ἐκεῖ ἡμέρας τρεῖς.

33And it came to pass on the fourth day that we weighed the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, in the house of our God, into the hand of Merimoth the son of Uria the priest; and with him was Eleazar the son of Phinees, and with them Jozabad the son of Jesus, and Noadia the son of Banaia, the Levites.Καὶ 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.

34All things were reckoned by number and weight, and the whole weight was written down.Ἐν ἀριθμῷ καὶ ἐν σταθμῷ τὰ πάντα, καὶ ἐγράφη πᾶς ὁ σταθμός.

35At that time the children of the banishment that came from the captivity offered whole burnt offerings to the God of Israel, twelve calves for all Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, twelve goats for a sin-offering; all whole burnt offerings to the Lord.Ἐν 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·

36And they gave the king's mandate to the king's lieutenants, and the governors beyond the river: and they honored the people and the house of God.Καὶ ἔδωκαν τὸ νόμισμα τοῦ βασιλέως τοῖς διοικηταῖς τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ ἐπάρχοις πέραν τοῦ ποταμοῦ· καὶ ἐδόξασαν τὸν λαὸν καὶ τὸν οἶκον τοῦ Θεοῦ.
