Ezra 8

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	NOVA VULGATA
1 This is the list of the family heads who returned with me from Babylon during the reign of King Artaxerxes:	1 Hi sunt ergo principes familiarum et genealogia eorum, qui ascenderuntmecum in regno Artaxerxis regis de Babylone:
2 Of the sons of Phinehas, Gershon; of the sons of Ithamar, Daniel; of the sons of David, Hattush,	2 De filiis Phinees, Gersom. Defiliis Ithamar, Daniel. De filiis David, Hattus filius Secheniae.
3 son of Shecaniah; of the sons of Parosh, Zechariah, and with him one hundred and fifty males were enrolled;	3 De filiisPharos, Zacharias; et cum eo numerati sunt viri centum quinquaginta.
4 of the sons of Pahath-moab, Eliehoenai, son of Zerahiah, and with him two hundred males;	4 De filiisPhahathmoab, Elioenai filius Zaraiae, et cum eo ducenti viri.
5 of the sons of Zattu, Shecaniah, son of Jahaziel, and with him three hundred males;	5 De filiisZethua, Sechenia filius Iahaziel, et cum eo trecenti viri.
6 of the sons of Adin, Ebed, son of Jonathan, and with him fifty males;	6 De filiis Adin,Ebed filius Ionathan, et cum eo quinquaginta viri.
7 of the sons of Elam, Jeshaiah, son of Athaliah, and with him seventy males;	7 De filiis Elam, Iesaiasfilius Athaliae, et cum eo septuaginta viri.
8 of the sons of Shephatiah, Zebadiah, son of Michael, and with him eighty males;	8 De filiis Saphatiae, Zabadiafilius Michael, et cum eo octoginta viri.
9 of the sons of Joab, Obadiah, son of Jehiel, and with him two hundred and eighteen males;	9 De filiis Ioab, Abdia filius Iahiel,et cum eo ducenti decem et octo viri.
10 of the sons of Bani, Shelomith, son of Josiphiah, and with him one hundred and sixty males;	10 De filiis Bani, Selomith filiusIosphiae, et cum eo centum sexaginta viri.
11 of the sons of Bebai, Zechariah, son of Bebai, and with him twenty-eight males;	11 De filiis Bebai, Zacharias filiusBebai, et cum eo viginti octo viri.
12 of the sons of Azgad, Johanan, son of Hakkatan, and with him one hundred and ten males;	12 De filiis Azgad, Iohanan filius Eccetan,et cum eo centum et decem viri.
13 of the sons of Adonikam, younger sons, whose names were Eliphelet, Jeiel, and Shemaiah, and with them sixty males;	13 De filiis Adonicam ascenderunt iuniores, ethaec nomina eorum: Eliphalet et Iehiel et Semeias, et cum eis sexaginta viri.
14 of the sons of Bigvai, Uthai, son of Zakkur, and with him seventy males.	14 De filiis Beguai, Uthai filius Zabud, et cum eis septuaginta viri.
15 I had them assemble by the river that flows toward Ahava, where we made camp for three days. There I perceived that both laymen and priests were present, but I could not discover a single Levite.	15 Congregavi autem eos ad fluvium, qui decurrit ad Ahava, et mansimus ibitribus diebus. Recensui populum et sacerdotes; de filiis autem Levi non inveniibi.
16 Therefore I sent Eliezer, Ariel, Shemaiah, Jarib, Elnathan, Nathan, Zechariah, and Meshullam, wise leaders,	16 Itaque misi Eliezer et Ariel et Semeiam et Ioiarib et Elnathan et Nathanet Zachariam et Mosollam principes sapientes.
17 with a command for Iddo, the leader in the place Casiphia, instructing them what to say to Iddo and his brethren, and to the temple slaves in Casiphia, in order to procure for us ministers for the house of our God.	17 Et misi eos ad Eddo, qui estprimus in Chasphiae loco, et posui in ore eorum verba, quae loquerentur ad Eddoet fratres eius, ut adducerent nobis ministros domus Dei nostri.
18 They sent to us--for the favoring hand of our God was upon us--a well-instructed man, one of the sons of Mahli, son of Levi, son of Israel, namely Sherebiah, with his sons and brethren, eighteen men.	18 Etadduxerunt nobis per manum Dei nostri bonam super nos virum doctissimum defiliis Moholi filii Levi filii Israel nomine Serebiam et filios eius et fratreseius decem et octo
19 They also sent us Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah, sons of Merari, and their brethren and their sons, twenty men.	19 et Hasabiam et cum eo Iesaiam de filiis Merari filiosqueeius et fratres eius viginti
20 Of the temple slaves (those whom David and the princes appointed to serve the Levites) there were two hundred and twenty. All these men were enrolled by name.	20 et de oblatis, quos dederant David et principesad ministeria Levitarum, ducentos viginti viros; omnes hi suis nominibusrecensiti sunt.
21 Then I proclaimed a fast, there by the river of Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God to petition from him a safe journey for ourselves, our children, and all our possessions.	21 Et praedicavi ibi ieiunium iuxta fluvium Ahava, ut affligeremur coram Deonostro et peteremus ab eo iter prosperum nobis et filiis nostris universaequesubstantiae nostrae.
22 For I would have been ashamed to ask the king for troops and horsemen to protect us against enemies along the way, since we had said to the king, "The favoring hand of our God is upon all who seek him, but his mighty wrath is against all who forsake him."	22 Erubui enim petere a rege praesidium et equites, quidefenderent nos ab inimico in via, quia dixeramus regi: “ Manus Dei nostri estsuper omnes, qui quaerunt eum in bonitate, et potentia eius et fortitudo eiussuper omnes, qui derelinquunt eum ”.
23 So we fasted, and prayed to our God for this, and our petition was granted.	23 Ieiunavimus autem et rogavimus Deumnostrum per hoc, et evenit nobis prospere.
24 Next I selected twelve of the priestly leaders along with Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brethren,	24 Et separavi de principibus sacerdotum duodecim, Serebiam et Hasabiam et cumeis de fratribus eorum decem,
25 and I weighed out before them the silver and the gold and the utensils offered for the house of our God by the king, his counselors, his officials, and all the Israelites of that region.	25 appendique eis argentum et aurum et vasa:tributum domus Dei nostri, quod obtulerat rex et consiliatores eius et principeseius universusque Israel eorum, qui ibi inveniebantur.
26 I consigned it to them in these amounts: silver, six hundred and fifty talents; silver utensils, one hundred; gold, one hundred talents;	26 Et appendi in manibuseorum argenti talenta sescenta quinquaginta et vasa argentea centum, quaehabebant talenta duo, auri centum talenta,
27 twenty golden bowls valued at a thousand darics; two vases of excellent polished bronze, as precious as gold.	27 et crateres aureos viginti, quihabebant solidos millenos, et vasa aeris fulgentis optimi duo pretiosa ut aurum.
28 I addressed them in these words: "You are consecrated to the LORD, and the utensils are also consecrated; the silver and the gold are a free-will offering to the LORD, the God of your fathers.	28 Et dixi eis: “ Vos sancti Domini, et vasa sancta et argentum et aurumconsecrata Domino, Deo patrum nostrorum;
29 Keep good watch over them till you weigh them out in Jerusalem in the presence of the chief priests and Levites and the family leaders of Israel, in the chambers of the house of the LORD."	29 vigilate et custodite, donecappendatis coram principibus sacerdotum et Levitarum et ducibus familiarumIsrael in Ierusalem, in habitaculis domus Domini ”.
30 The priests and the Levites then took over the silver, the gold, and the utensils that had been weighed out, to bring them to Jerusalem, to the house of our God.	30 Susceperunt autemsacerdotes et Levitae pondus argenti et auri et vasorum, ut deferrent Ierusalemin domum Dei nostri.
31 We set out for Jerusalem from the river of Ahava on the twelfth day of the first month. The hand of our God remained upon us, and he protected us from enemies and bandits along the way.	31 Promovimus ergo a flumine Ahava duodecimo die mensis primi, ut pergeremusIerusalem; et manus Dei nostri fuit super nos et liberavit nos de manu inimiciet insidiatoris in via,
32 Thus we arrived in Jerusalem, where we first rested for three days.	32 et venimus Ierusalem et mansimus ibi tribus diebus.
33 On the fourth day, the silver, the gold, and the utensils were weighed out in the house of our God and consigned to the priest Meremoth, son of Uriah, who was assisted by Eleazar, son of Phinehas; they were assisted by the Levites Jozabad, son of Jeshua, and Noadiah, son of Binnui.	33 Die autem quarta appensum est argentum et aurum et vasa in domo Dei nostriper manum Meremoth filii Uriae sacerdotis et cum eo Eleazar filius Phineescumque eis Iozabad filius Iesua et Noadia filius Bennui Levitae,
34 Everything was in order as to number and weight, and the total weight was registered. At that same time,	34 iuxtanumerum et pondus omnia; descriptumque est omne pondus. In tempore illo,
35 those who had returned from the captivity, the exiles, offered as holocausts to the God of Israel twelve bulls for all Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, and twelve goats as sin-offerings: all these as a holocaust to the LORD.	35 quivenerant de captivitate, filii transmigrationis, obtulerunt holocautomata DeoIsrael, vitulos duodecim pro omni populo Israel, arietes nonaginta sex, agnosseptuaginta septem, hircos pro peccato duodecim: omnia in holocaustum Domino.
36 Finally, the orders of the king were presented to the king's satraps and to the governors in West-of-Euphrates, who gave their support to the people and to the house of God.	36 Dederunt autem edicta regis satrapis regis et ducibus trans flumen etsublevaverunt populum et domum Dei.
