8. And the Levites, Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, Mattaniah, they and their brothers were over the hymns,

8. A leviti: Ješua, Binuj, Kadmiel, Šerebja, Juda i Matanija - ovaj potonji i njegova braæa ravnali su hvalospjevima.

9. with Bakbukiah, as well as Hannai, and their brothers, each one in his office.

9. Bakbukja i Uni i braæa njihova izmjenjivali su se s njima u službi.

10. Now Jeshua conceived Joiakim, and Joiakim conceived Eliashib, and Eliashib conceived Joiada,

11. and Joiada conceived Jonathan, and Jonathan conceived Jaddua.

22. The Levites, in the days of Eliashib, and Joiada, and Johanan, and Jaddua, and the priests, were written according to the leaders of the families, during the reign of Darius the Persian.

22. U vrijeme Elijašiba, Jojade, Johanana i Jadue bili su popisani glavari levitskih obitelji i sveæenici sve do kraljevanja Darija Perzijanca.

23. The sons of Levi, according to the leaders of the families, were written in the book of the words of those days, even to the days of Johanan, the son of Eliashib.

23. Sinovi Levijevi: glavari obitelji bili su zabilježeni u Knjizi ljetopisa, do vremena Johanana, sina Elijašibova.

24. Now the leaders of the Levites were Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua, the son of Kadmiel, and their brothers, in their turns, so that they would praise and confess, according to the precept of David, the man of God. And they served equally and in order.

24. Glavari levitski bili su: Hašabja, Šerebja, Ješua, Binuj, Kadmiel, a njihova braæa, koja su stajala prema njima da pjevaju naizmjenièno pohvale i zahvalnice prema uredbama Davida, Božjeg èovjeka,

25. Mattaniah, and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub, were keepers of the gates and of the vestibules before the gates.

25. bijahu: Matanija, Bakbukja i Obadja. A Mešulam, Talmon i Akub, vratari, èuvali su stražu kod skladišta blizu vrata.

26. These 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 and scribe.

26. Ti su živjeli u vrijeme Jojakima, sina Ješue, sina Josadakova, i u vrijeme upravitelja Nehemije i književnika sveæenika Ezre.

27. Now at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem, they sought the Levites from all their places, so that they might bring them to Jerusalem, and so that they might keep the dedication, and rejoice with thanksgiving, and with singing, and with cymbals, psalteries, and lyres.

27. Kad je bila posveta jeruzalemskoga zida, potražili su levite svugdje gdje su stanovali da ih dovedu u Jeruzalem te proslave posvetu radošæu, zahvalnicama i pjesmom uz cimbale, harfe i citre.

28. Now the sons of the singing men were gathered from the plains surrounding Jerusalem, and from the villages of Netophati,

28. I skupiše se pjevaèi, sinovi Levijevi, iz kraja oko Jeruzalema, iz netofatskih sela,

29. and from the house of Gilgal, and from the regions of Geba and Azmaveth. For the singing men had built villages for themselves around Jerusalem.

29. iz Bet Hagilgala, iz Gebe i polja Azmaveta: jer su pjevaèi sebi sagradili sela oko Jeruzalema.

30. And the priests and the Levites were cleansed, and they cleansed the people, and the gates, and the wall.

30. Sveæenici i leviti oèistili su sebe, a zatim su oèistili narod, vrata i zid.

31. Then I caused the leaders of Judah to ascend the wall, and I appointed two great choirs to give praise. And they went to the right upon the wall, toward the dung gate.

31. Tada sam izveo judejske knezove na zid i sastavio dva velika zbora. Prvi je išao desno niza zid, prema Smetlišnim vratima;

32. And after them went Hoshaiah, and one half part of the leadership of Judah,

32. za njima su išli Hošaja i polovina judejskih knezova -

33. and Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam, Judah, and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah.

33. Azarja, Ezra i Mešulam,

34. And some of the sons of the priests went forth with trumpets: Zachariah, the son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Micaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph.

34. Juda, Benjamin, Šemaja i Jeremija,

35. And his brothers, Shemaiah, and Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, and Judah, and Hanani, went forth with the canticles of David, the man of God. And Ezra, the scribe, was before them at the fountain gate.

35. a od sveæenièkih sinova s trubljama: Zaharija, sin Jonatana, sina Šemaje, sina Matanije, sina Mikaje, sina Zakura, sina Asafa,

36. And opposite them, they ascended by the steps of the city of David, at the ascent of the wall above the house of David, and as far as the water gate to the east.

36. s braæom njihovom Šemajom, Azarelom, Milalajem, Gilalajem, Maajem, Netanelom, Judom, Hananijem, s glazbalima Davida, Božjega èovjeka. A Ezra, književnik, išao je pred njima.

37. And the second choir of those who gave thanks went forth on the opposite side, and I went after them, and one half part of the people were upon the wall, and upon the tower of the furnaces, as far as the widest wall,

37. Kod Izvorskih vrata popeli su se njima nasuprot kraj stepenica Davidova grada, zidnim usponom od Davidove palaèe sve do Vodenih vrata na istoku.

38. and above the gate of Ephraim, and above the ancient gate, and above the fish gate, and the tower of Hananel, and the tower of Hamath, and as far as the flock gate. And they stood still at the watch gate.

38. Drugi zbor, a za njim ja i polovica narodnih knezova, išao je nalijevo zidom i Peækom kulom sve do Tržnog zida,

39. And the two choirs of those who gave praise stood still at the house of God, with myself and one half part of the magistrates who were with me.

39. pa onda iznad Efrajimovih vrata, Starih vrata, Ribljih vrata, Hananelove kule, kule Meaha, sve do Ovèjih vrata. Zaustavili su se kod Zatvorskih vrata.

40. And the priests, Eliakim, Maaseiah, Mijamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, Hananiah, went forth with trumpets,

40. Potom su oba zbora zauzela mjesto u Domu Božjem. Tako i ja i sa mnom polovica odliènika,

41. with Maaseiah, and Shemaiah, and Eleazar, and Uzzi, and Jehohanan, and Malchijah, and Elam, and Ezer. And the singers were singing clearly, and Jezrahiah was their foremost leader.

41. sveæenici Elijakim, Maaseja, Minjamin, Mikaja, Elijoenaj, Zaharija, Hananija s trubama,

42. And on that day, they immolated great sacrifices, and they rejoiced. For God had caused them to rejoice with great joy. And their wives and children also were glad. And the rejoicing of Jerusalem was heard from far away.

42. zatim Maaseja, Šemaja, Eleazar, Uzi, Johanan, Malkija, Elam i Ezer. Pjevaèi su pjevali pod ravnanjem Jizrahjinim.

43. On that day also, they enrolled men over the storehouses of the treasury, for the libations, and for the first-fruits, and for the tithes, so that the leaders of the city might bring these in, by them, with proper thanksgiving, for the priests and the Levites. For Judah was rejoicing in the priests and the Levites who were assisting.

43. Toga su dana prinesene velike žrtve, ljudi su dali oduška radosti, jer ih je Bog ispunio velikom radošæu, veselile se i žene i djeca. I radost Jeruzalema èula se nadaleko.

44. And they kept the vigil of their God, and the vigil of expiation, with the singing men and the gatekeepers, in accord with the precept of David, and of Solomon, his son.

44. U to su vrijeme postavljeni ljudi da nadziru spremišta prinosa, prvina, desetina i da s polja uz gradove sabiru dijelove koje Zakon dodjeljuje sveæenicima i levitima. Jer su se Judejci radovali sveæenicima i levitima koji su bili u službi.

45. For in the days of David and Asaph, from the beginning, there were leaders appointed over the singers, to give praise in verses, and to confess to God.

45. Oni su vršili službu Bogu svome i službu oèišæenja - kao i pjevaèi i vratari - prema odredbi Davida i njegova sina Salomona.

46. And all of Israel, in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah, gave portions to the singing men and to the gatekeepers, for each day, and they sanctified the Levites, and the Levites sanctified the sons of Aaron.

46. Jer od Davidovih i Asafovih dana, od davnine, postoje pjevaèki glavari i pjesme pohvalne i zahvalnice Bogu.

47.

47. Zato je sav Izrael u vrijeme Zerubabela i u Nehemijino vrijeme dan za danom davao dijelove odreðene za pjevaèe i vratare. Davali su levitima posveæene darove, a leviti su davali sinovima Aronovim.
