1 Now these are the priests and the Levites that went up with Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua: Seraiah, Jeremiah, Ezra, 2 Amariah, Malluch, Hattush, 3 Shechaniah, Rehum, Meremoth, 4 Iddo, Ginnetho, Abijah, 5 Miamin, Maadiah, Bilgah, 6 Shemaiah, and Joiarib, Jedaiah, 7 Sallu, Amok, Hilkiah, Jedaiah. These were the chief of the priests and of their brethren in the days of Jeshua. 8 Moreover the Levites: Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, and Mattaniah, which was over the thanksgiving, he and his brethren. 9 Also Bakbukiah and Unni, their brethren, were over against them in the watches.
10 And Jeshua begat Joiakim, Joiakim also begat Eliashib, and Eliashib begat Joiada, 11 And Joiada begat Jonathan, and Jonathan begat Jaddua. 12 And in the days of Joiakim were priests, the chief of the fathers: of Seraiah, Meraiah; of Jeremiah, Hananiah; 13 Of Ezra, Meshullam; of Amariah, Jehohanan; 14 Of Melicu, Jonathan; of Shebaniah, Joseph; 15 Of Harim, Adna; of Meraioth, Helkai; 16 Of Iddo, Zechariah; of Ginnethon, Meshullam; 17 Of Abijah, Zichri; of Miniamin, of Moadiah, Piltai; 18 Of Bilgah, Shammua; of Shemaiah, Jehonathan; 19 And of Joiarib, Mattenai; of Jedaiah, Uzzi; 20 Of Sallai, Kallai; of Amok, Eber; 21 Of Hilkiah, Hashabiah; of Jedaiah, Nethaneel.
22 The Levites in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, and Johanan, and Jaddua, were recorded chief of the fathers: also the priests, to the reign of Darius the Persian. 23 The sons of Levi, the chief of the fathers, were written in the book of the chronicles, even until the days of Johanan the son of Eliashib. 24 And the chief of the Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua the son of Kadmiel, with their brethren over against them, to praise and to give thanks, according to the commandment of David the man of God, ward over against ward. 25 Mattaniah, and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub, were porters keeping the ward at the thresholds of the gates. 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, the scribe.
27 And at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought the Levites out of all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem, to keep the dedication with gladness, both with thanksgivings, and with singing, with cymbals, psalteries, and with harps. 28 And the sons of the singers gathered themselves together, both out of the plain country round about Jerusalem, and from the villages of Netophathi; 29 Also from the house of Gilgal, and out of the fields of Geba and Azmaveth: for the singers had builded them villages round about Jerusalem. 30 And the priests and the Levites purified themselves, and purified the people, and the gates, and the wall. 31 Then I brought up the princes of Judah upon the wall, and appointed two great companies of them that gave thanks, whereof one went on the right hand upon the wall toward the dung gate: 32 And after them went Hoshaiah, and half of the princes of Judah, 33 And Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam, 34 Judah, and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah, 35 And certain of the priests’ sons with trumpets; namely, 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: 36 And his brethren, Shemaiah, and Azarael, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethaneel, and Judah, Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God, and Ezra the scribe before them. 37 And at the fountain gate, which was over against them, they went up by the stairs of the city of David, at the going up of the wall, above the house of David, even unto the water gate eastward. 38 And the other company of them that gave thanks went over against them, and I after them, and the half of the people upon the wall, from beyond the tower of the furnaces even unto the broad wall; 39 And from above the gate of Ephraim, and above the old gate, and above the fish gate, and the tower of Hananeel, and the tower of Meah, even unto the sheep gate: and they stood still in the prison gate. 40 So stood the two companies of them that gave thanks in the house of God, and I, and the half of the rulers with me: 41 And the priests; Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Michaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with trumpets; 42 And Maaseiah, and Shemaiah, and Eleazar, and Uzzi, and Jehohanan, and Malchijah, and Elam, and Ezer. And the singers sang loud, with Jezrahiah their overseer. 43 Also that day they offered great sacrifices, and rejoiced: for God had made them rejoice with great joy: the wives also and the children rejoiced: so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard even afar off.
44 And at that time were some appointed over the chambers for the treasures, for the offerings, for the firstfruits, and for the tithes, to gather into them out of the fields of the cities the portions of the law for the priests and Levites: for Judah rejoiced for the priests and for the Levites that waited. 45 And both the singers and the porters kept the ward of their God, and the ward of the purification, according to the commandment of David, and of Solomon his son. 46 For in the days of David and Asaph of old there were chief of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving unto God. 47 And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah, gave the portions of the singers and the porters, every day his portion: and they sanctified holy things unto the Levites; and the Levites sanctified them unto the children of Aaron.

23 作族长的利未人登记在编年录上， 直到以利亚实的孙子约哈难的时候。
24 利未人的族长是哈沙比雅、示利比、甲篾的儿子耶书亚与他们的兄弟相对站立， 照着神人大卫的命令， 按着班次赞美称颂。
25 玛他尼、八布迦、俄巴底亚、米书兰、达们和亚谷都是守门的， 守卫城门的库房。
26 这些人是在约撒达的孙子、耶书亚的儿子约雅金的日子， 以及在省长尼希米和祭司兼经学家以斯拉的日子任职。
27 耶路撒冷城墙举行奉献典礼的时候， 众民在各地寻找利未人， 带他们到耶路撒冷来， 要他们称谢、歌唱、敲钹、弹琴鼓瑟， 欢欢喜喜地举行奉献典礼。
28 歌唱者从耶路撒冷四围的平原， 从尼陀法的村庄，
29 从伯．吉甲， 从迦巴和押玛弗的田庄聚集前来； 因为歌唱者在耶路撒冷四围为自己建造村庄。
30 祭司和利未人洁净了自己， 然后洁净民众， 以及城门和城墙。
31 我带领犹大的领袖上了城墙， 组织了两大队颂赞的人， 一队在城墙右边， 向着粪门前进，
32 跟随他们后面的是何沙雅和犹大的一半领袖；
33 还有亚撒利雅、以斯拉、米书兰、
34 犹大、便雅悯、示玛雅、耶利米；
35 还有拿着号筒的祭司： 约拿单的儿子撒迦利亚； 约拿单是示玛雅的儿子， 示玛雅是玛他尼的儿子， 玛他尼是米该亚的儿子， 米该亚是撒刻的儿子， 撒刻是亚萨的儿子；
36 他的兄弟示玛雅、亚撒利、米拉莱、基拉莱、玛艾、拿但业、犹大、哈拿尼拿着神人大卫的乐器。经学家以斯拉走在他们前面，
37 他们到了泉门， 就登上大卫城的台阶， 随着城墙的升势， 经过大卫的宫殿， 走到东边的水门。
38 第二队颂赞的人往左边行， 我和一半的人民跟着他们， 在城墙上过了炉楼， 直走到宽墙，
39 过了以法莲门、古门、鱼门、哈楠业楼、哈米亚楼， 直到羊门， 就在护卫院的门前站住。
40 于是这两队颂赞的人就站在 神的殿里， 我和一半的官长也站在那里；
41 祭司以利亚金、玛西雅、米拿尼、米该雅、以利约乃、撒迦利亚和哈楠尼亚， 拿着号筒；
42 又有玛西雅、示玛雅、以利亚撒、乌西、约哈难、玛基雅、以拦和以谢； 歌唱者在伊斯拉希雅领导下， 高声歌唱。
43 那一天， 众人献上极大的祭祀， 而且非常欢乐， 因为 神使他们大大欢乐； 连妇女和孩童也都欢乐； 耶路撒冷欢乐的声音在老远的地方都可以听见。
44 那时， 有一些人被委派管理存放举祭、初熟之物和十分之一供物的库房， 把各城的田地， 照着律法所规定归给祭司和利未人的部分收集到那里。犹大人为侍立供职的祭司和利未人欢乐。
45 祭司和利未人谨守他们的 神所吩咐的， 谨守洁净的礼； 歌唱者和守门的也照着大卫和他的儿子所罗门的命令去行，
46 因为远在大卫和亚萨的时代， 已有诗班长， 并且有赞美称颂 神的诗歌。
47 在所罗巴伯和尼希米的日子， 以色列众人把歌唱的和守门的每日应得的分供给他们； 又把分别为圣的分给利未人； 而利未人也把分别为圣的分给亚伦的子孙。
