The sons of Levi, the chiefs of the fathers’ houses were written in the book of the chronicles, even until the days of Yoĥanan the son of Elyashiv.

(The sons of Levi, the heads of the fathers' [houses] are recorded in the book of chronicles until the days of Yochanan, the [grand-] son of Elyashiv.)

And the chiefs of the Levites: Ḥashavya, Sherevya, and Yeshua the son of Qadmi᾽el, with their brethren over against them, to praise and to give thanks, according to the commandment of David the man of God, section by section.

And the heads of the Levites: Chashavyah, Sherevyah, and Yeshua the son of Kadmiel and their brethren alongside them to give praise and thanks according to the charge of David the man of G-d, watch by watch [(the Levites being divided by watches for singing)].

Mattanya, and Baqbuqya, ῾Ovadya, Meshullam, Talmon, ῾Aqquv, were gate-keepers, standing guard at the storehouse of the gates.

Matanyah and Bakbukyah, Ovadyah, Meshulam, Talmon, Akuv — watchers. Gatekeepers [were in their] watch [(to guard the Temple gates)] at the thresholds of the gates.

These were in the days of Yoyaqim the son of Yeshua, the son of Yożadaq, and in the days of Neĥemya the governor, and of ῾Ezra the priest, the scribe.

These [were the gatekeepers] in the days of Yoyakim the son of Yeshua the son of Yotzadak and in the days of Nechemiah the governor and Ezra the priest, the scribe.

And at the dedication of the wall of Yerushalayim they sought the Levites out of all their places, to bring them to Yerushalayim, to keep the dedication with gladness, both with thanksgiving, and with singing, with cymbals, with harps, and with lyres.

And at the consecration of the wall of Jerusalem [(at its completion)], the Levites were sought out from all of their places to bring them to Jerusalem, to make consecration and joy with thanksgiving and song, (with) cymbals, lyres, and harps.

And the sons of the singers gathered themselves together, both out of the district round about Yerushalayim, and from the settlements of the Netofati;

And the sons of the singers were gathered together, and (they came) from the plain around Jerusalem and from the cities of the Netofathi.

also from the house of Gilgal, and out of the fields of Geva and ῾Azmavet: for the singers had built themselves settlements round about Yerushalayim.

And from Beth-hagalil and from the fields of Geva and Azmaveth. For the singers had built themselves cities around Jerusalem.

And the priests and the Levites purified themselves, and purified the people, and the gates, and the wall.

And the priests and the Levites purified themselves, and [afterwards] they purified the people and the gates and the wall [(that there should be no uncleanliness in the city.)]

Then I brought up the princes of Yehuda upon the wall, and appointed two great companies that gave thanks and went in procession. One went on the right hand upon the wall towards the dung gate:

And [(in cleansing the city)] I brought the chiefs of Judah above the wall, and I set up two large thanksgiving loaves, and processions [(leaving the city to encircle it)] to the right, above the wall, to the Dung Gate.

and after them went Hosha῾ya, and half of the princes of Yehuda,

And there went after them Hoshayah and half the chiefs of Judah.

And ῾Azarya, ῾Ezra, and Meshullam,

And Azaryah, Ezra, and Meshulam.

Yehuda, and Binyamin, and Shema῾ya, and Yirmeya,

Judah and Benjamin and Shemayah and Yirmiyah.

and certain of the priests’ sons with trumpets; namely, Zekharya the son of Yonatan, the son of Shema῾ya, the son of Mattanya, the son of Mikhaya, the son of Zakhur, the son of Asaf:

And of the sons of the priests with trumpets: Zecharya the son of Yonathan the son of Shemayah the son of Matanyah the son of Michayah the son of Zakkur the son of Asaf.

and his brethren, Shema῾ya, and ῾Azar᾽el, Milalay, Gilalay, Ma῾ay, Netan᾽el, and Yehuda, and Ḥanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God, and ῾Ezra the scribe before them.

And his [(Zecharyah's)] brethren — Shemayah, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Ma'ai, Nethanel, Judah, and Chanani — with musical instruments of David, the man of G-d, and Ezra the scribe before them.

And at the foundation gate, they went up straight before them by the stairs of the city of David, at the going up of the wall, above the house of David, even to the water gate eastward.

And before the Ayin Gate [(they went around the city)], and before them [(i.e., in front of the procession)], they ascended the steps of the city of David on an ascent to the wall, above the house of David, until the Water Gate on the east.

And the other company of those who gave thanks went to meet them, and I after them, and half of the people upon the wall, above the tower of the furnaces to the broad wall;

And the second thanksgiving loaf went opposite [i.e., alongside of the first], and I after it. And half the people were above the wall above the Tannurim Tower until the broad wall.

and above the gate of Efrayim, and by the old gate, and by the fish gate, and the tower of Ḥanan᾽el, and the tower of the hundred, as far as the sheep gate: and they stood still in the gate of the guard.

And above the Gate of Ephraim and on the old gate and on the Fish Gate and the Chananel Tower and the Tower of the Hundred until the Sheep Gate. And they [i.e., the procession] halted at the Matarah Gate.

So the two companies of those who gave thanks in the house of God stood, and I and the half of the rulers with me:

And the two thanksgiving loaves halted at the house of G-d, and I and half the officers with me.

and the priests; Elyaqim, Ma῾aseya, Minyamin, Mikhaya, Elyo῾enay, Zekharya, and Ḥananya, with trumpets;

And the priests — Elyakim, Minyamin, Michayah, Elyoeinai, Zecharyah, Chanyiah — trumpeted [with joy].

and Ma῾aseya, and Shema῾ya, and El῾azar, and ῾Uzzi, and Yehoĥanan, and Malkiyya, and ῾Elam, and ῾Ezer. And the singers sang loud, Yizraĥya being their overseer.

And Ma'aseyah and Shemayah and Elazar and Uzzi and Yehonathan and Malkiyah and Eilam and Azer and Yashmiyu, the singers [also came] with Yizrachyah, their director.

And they offered great sacrifices that day, and rejoiced: for God had made them rejoice with great joy: the women also and the children rejoiced: so that the joy of Yerushalayim was heard from afar off.

And they sacrificed on that day a great number of sacrifices and they rejoiced. For G-d had rejoiced them with great rejoicing. And the women and the children, too, rejoiced. And the joy of Jerusalem was heard from afar.

And on that day were some appointed over the chambers for the treasurers, for the heave offerings, for the firstfruits, and for the tithes, to gather into them out of the fields of the cities the portions assigned by the Tora for the priests and Levites: for Yehuda rejoiced over the priests and the Levites who ministered.

And men were appointed that day over the storage chambers to store in them terumoth, reishith [(first-fruits)] and ma'asroth from the fields of the cities, the portions of [i.e., prescribed by] the Torah for the priests and the Levites. [(And in those chambers the priests and the Levites would take their respective portions.)] For the joy of Judah was over the priests and the Levites who stood [there rejoicing before the L-rd].

And they kept the service of their God, and the service of the purification, as did the singers and the gatekeepers, according to the commandment of David, and of Shelomo his son.

And they kept the keeping of [the house of] their G-d and the keeping of purity and [they were abetted by] the singers and the gatekeepers, according to the charge of David (to) Solomon his son.

For in the days of David and Asaf of old there were chiefs of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving to God.

For [so had it been ordained] or yore in the days of David and Asaf, the chief singers, of prayer and thanksgiving to G-d.

And all Yisra᾽el in the days of Zerubbavel, and in the days of Neĥemya, gave the portions of the singers and the gatekeepers, as every day required: and they gave the holy portions to the Levites; and the Levites gave the holy portions to the children of Aharon.

And all of Israel in the days of Zerubavel and in the days of Nechemiah gave portions to the singers and to the gatekeepers, the portion of the day in its day, and they separated [tithes] to the Levites, and the Levites separated [(from these)] to the sons of Aaron.
