Nehemiah 11

1 Now the leaders of the people settled in Jerusalem, and the rest of the people cast lots to bring one out of ten to live in the holy city of Jerusalem, while the remaining nine were to dwell in their own towns.

1 وَسَكَنَ رُؤَسَاءُ الشَّعْبِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ. وَأَلْقَى سَائِرُ الشَّعْبِ الْقُرْعَةَ لِيَخْتَارُوا وَاحِداً مِنْ بَيْنِ كُلِّ عَشَرَةٍ لِيُقِيمَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ مَدِينَةِ الْقُدْسِ بَيْنَمَا يَتَوَزَّعُ التِّسْعَةُ الأَعْشَارِ الْبَاقُونَ عَلَى الْمُدُنِ.

2 And the people blessed all the men who volunteered to live in Jerusalem.

2 وَبَارَكَ الشَّعْبُ جَمِيعَ الرِّجَالِ الَّذِينَ تَطَوَّعُوا لِلسَّكَنِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ.

3 These are the heads of the provinces who settled in Jerusalem. (In the villages of Judah, however, each lived on his own property in their towns—the Israelites, priests, Levites, temple servants, and descendants of Solomon’s servants—

3 وَهَذَا بَيَانٌ بِأَسْمَاءِ رُؤَسَاءِ الْبِلادِ الَّذِينَ اسْتَقَرُّوا فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَإِنْ كَانَ بَعْضُ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ وَالْكَهَنَةِ وَاللّاوِيِّينَ وَخُدَّامِ الْهَيْكَلِ وَنَسْلِ رِجَالِ سُلَيْمَانَ أَقَامُوا فِي مُدُنِهِمْ، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ فِي مُلْكِهِ.

4 while some of the descendants of Judah and Benjamin settled in Jerusalem.) From the descendants of Judah: Athaiah son of Uzziah, the son of Zechariah, the son of Amariah, the son of Shephatiah, the son of Mahalalel, a descendant of Perez;

4 وَاسْتَوْطَنَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ بَعْضُ بَنِي يَهُوذَا وَبَنِي بِنْيَامِينَ. فَمِنْ بَنِي يَهُوذَا: عَثَايَا بْنُ عُزِّيَّا بْنِ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ أَمَرْيَا بْنِ شَفَطْيَا بْنِ مَهْلَلْئِيلَ مِنْ نَسْلِ فَارِصَ،

5 and Maaseiah son of Baruch, the son of Col-hozeh, the son of Hazaiah, the son of Adaiah, the son of Joiarib, the son of Zechariah, a descendant of Shelah.

5 وَمَعْسِيَا بْنُ بَارُوخَ بْنِ كَلْحُوزَةَ بْنِ حَزَايَا بْنِ عَدَايَا بْنِ يُويَارِيبَ بْنِ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ الشِّيلُونِيِّ.

6 The descendants of Perez who settled in Jerusalem totaled 468 men of valor.

6 فَكَانَتْ جُمْلَةُ الْمُقِيمِينَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ مِنْ نَسْلِ فَارِصَ أَرْبَعَ مِئَةٍ وَثَمَانِيَةً وَسِتِّينَ مِنْ ذَوِي الْبَأْسِ.

7 From the descendants of Benjamin: Sallu son of Meshullam, the son of Joed, the son of Pedaiah, the son of Kolaiah, the son of Maaseiah, the son of Ithiel, the son of Jeshaiah;

7 وَمِنْ بَنِي بِنْيَامِينَ: سَلُّو بْنُ مَشُلّامَ بْنِ يُوعِيدَ بْنِ فَدَايَا بْنِ قُولايَا بْنِ مَعْسِيَا بْنِ إِيثِيئِيلَ بْنِ يَشَعْيَا،

8 and his followers Gabbai and Sallai—928 men.

8 وَيَتْلُوهُ جَبَّايُ وَسَلّايُ. فَكَانُوا فِي جُمْلَتِهِمْ تِسْعَ مِئَةٍ وَثَمَانِيَةً وَعِشْرِينَ رَجُلاً.

9 Joel son of Zichri was the officer over them, and Judah son of Hassenuah was over the Second District of the city.

9 وَكَانَ يُوئِيلُ بْنُ زِكْرِي نَاظِراً عَلَيْهِمْ، وَيَهُوذَا بْنُ هَسْنُوآةَ مُسَاعِداً لَهُ.

10 From the priests: Jedaiah son of Joiarib; Jachin;

10 وَمِنَ الْكَهَنَةِ: يَدَعْيَا بْنُ يُويَارِيبَ وَيَاكِينُ،

11 Seraiah son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, the chief official of the house of God;

11 وَسَرَايَا بْنُ حِلْقِيَّا بْنِ مَشُلّامَ بْنِ صَادُوقَ بْنِ مَرَايُوثَ بْنِ أَخِيطُوبَ، رَئِيسِ كَهَنَةِ بَيْتِ اللهِ،

12 and their associates who did the work at the temple—822 men; Adaiah son of Jeroham, the son of Pelaliah, the son of Amzi, the son of Zechariah, the son of Pashhur, the son of Malchijah;

12 وَأَقْرِبَاؤُهُمُ الْقَائِمُونَ بِأَعْمَالِ صِيَانَةِ الْهَيْكَلِ وَخِدْمَتِهِ، الْبَالِغُ عَدَدُهُمْ ثَمَانِي مِئَةٍ وَاثْنَيْنِ وَعِشْرِينَ، وَعَدَايَا بْنُ يُروحَامَ بْنِ فَلَلْيَا بْنِ أَمْصِي بْنِ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ فَشْحُورَ بْنِ مَلْكِيَّا،

13 and his associates, the leaders of families—242 men; Amashai son of Azarel, the son of Ahzai, the son of Meshillemoth, the son of Immer;

13 وَأَقْرِبَاؤُهُ رُؤَسَاءُ بُيُوتَاتِ آبَائِهِمْ الْبَالِغُ عَدَدُهُمْ مِئَتَيْنِ وَاثْنَيْنِ وَأَرْبَعِينَ. وَعَمْشِسَايُ بْنُ عَزَرْئِيلَ بْنِ أَخْزَايَ بْنِ مَشْلِيمُوثَ بْنِ إِمِّيرَ،

14 and his associates—128 mighty men of valor. Zabdiel son of Haggedolim was their overseer.

14 وَأَقْرِبَاؤُهُمْ مِنْ ذَوِي الْبَأْسِ وَقَدْ بَلَغَ عَدَدُهُمْ مِئَةً وَثَمَانِيَةً وَعِشْرِينَ. وَكَانَ الْوَكِيلُ عَلَيْهِمْ زَبْدِيئِيلَ بْنَ هَجْدُولِيمَ.

15 From the Levites: Shemaiah son of Hasshub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Bunni;

15 وَمِنَ اللّاوِيِّينَ: شَمَعْيَا بْنُ حَشُوبَ بْنِ عَزْرِيقَامَ بْنِ حَشَبْيَا بْنِ بُونِّي،

16 Shabbethai and Jozabad, two leaders of the Levites, who supervised the work outside the house of God;

16 وَشَبْتَايُ وَيُوزَابَادُ مِنْ رُؤَسَاءِ اللّاوِيِّينَ، وَكَانَا يُشْرِفَانِ عَلَى صِيَانَةِ الْقِسْمِ الْخَارِجِيِّ مِنْ هَيْكَلِ اللهِ.

17 Mattaniah son of Mica, the son of Zabdi, the son of Asaph, who led in thanksgiving and prayer; Bakbukiah, second among his associates; and Abda son of Shammua, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun.

17 وَمَتَّنْيَا بْنُ مِيخَا بْنِ زَبْدِي بْنِ آسَافَ قَائِدُ فِرْقَةِ التَّسْبِيحِ، وَالْبَادِئُ بِالتَّرَنُّمِ بِالْحَمْدِ عِنْدَ الصَّلاةِ، وَبَقْبُقْيَا الَّذِي يَحْتَلُّ الْمَرْتَبَةَ الثَّانِيَةَ بَيْنَ أَقْرِبَائِهِ اللّاوِيِّينَ، وَعَبْدَا بْنُ شَمُّوعَ بْنِ جَلالَ بْنِ يَدُوثُونَ.

18 The Levites in the holy city totaled 284.

18 فَكَانَتْ جُمْلَةُ اللّاوِيِّينَ الْمُقِيمِينَ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ الْمُقَدَّسَةِ مِئَتَيْنِ وَثَمَانِيَةً وَأَرْبَعِينَ.

19 And the gatekeepers: Akkub, Talmon, and their associates, who kept watch at the gates—172 men.

19 أَمَّا حُرَّاسُ أَبْوَابِ الْهَيْكَلِ فَهُمْ: عَقُّوبُ وَطَلْمُونُ وَأَقْرِبَاؤُهُمَا وَجُمْلَتُهُمْ مِئَةٌ وَاثْنَانِ وَسَبْعُونَ.

20 The rest of the Israelites, with the priests and Levites, were in all the villages of Judah, each on his own inheritance.

20 وَسَكَنَ سَائِرُ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ وَالْكَهَنَةِ وَاللّاوِيِّينَ فِي بَقِيَّةِ مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ فِي مِيرَاثِهِ.

21 The temple servants lived on the hill of Ophel, with Ziha and Gishpa over them.

21 أَمَّا خُدَّامُ الْهَيْكَلِ فَأَقَامُوا فِي الأَكَمَةِ بِإِشْرَافِ صِيحَا وَجِشْفَا.

22 Now the overseer of the Levites in Jerusalem was Uzzi son of Bani, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Mica. He was one of Asaph’s descendants, who were the singers in charge of the service of the house of God.

22 وَكَانَ عُزِّي بْنُ بَانِيَ بْنِ حَشَبْيَا بْنِ مَتَّنْيَا بْنِ مِيخَا مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ آسَافَ الْمُرَتِّلِينَ مَسْؤولاً عَنِ اللّاوِيِّينَ السَّاكِنِينَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ الْقَائِمِينَ بِعَمَلِ هَيْكَلِ اللهِ،

23 For there was a command from the king concerning the singers, an ordinance regulating their daily activities.

23 إِذْ كَانَ الْمَلِكُ قَدْ أَصْدَرَ أَمْراً بِشَأْنِهِمْ، فِيهِ يَتَقَرَّرُ عَمَلُ الْمُرَتِّلِينَ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ بِيَوْمِهِ.

24 Pethahiah son of Meshezabel, a descendant of Zerah son of Judah, was the king’s agent in every matter concerning the people.

24 كَمَا كَانَ فَتَحْيَا بْنُ مَشِيزَبْئِيلَ مِنْ بَنِي زَارَحَ بْنِ يَهُوذَا وَكِيلاً لِلْمَلِكِ لِيَفُضَّ كُلَّ أُمُورِ الشَّعْبِ.

25 As for the villages with their fields, some of the people of Judah lived in Kiriath-arba, Dibon, Jekabzeel, and their villages;

25 وَسَكَنَ فِي الضِّيَاعِ وَحُقُولِهَا بَعْضُ أَبْنَاءِ يَهُوذَا فَأَقَامُوا فِي قَرْيَةِ أَرْبَعَ وَضِيَاعِهَا وَدِيبُونَ وَضِيَاعِهَا وَيَقَبْصَئِيلَ وَضِيَاعِهَا،

26 in Jeshua, Moladah, and Beth-pelet;

26 وَفِي يَشُوعَ وَمُولادَةَ وَبَيْتِ فَالَطَ،

27 in Hazar-shual; in Beersheba and its villages;

27 وَفِي حَصَرَ شُوعَالَ وَبِئْرِ سَبْعٍ وَضِيَاعِهَا،

28 in Ziklag; in Meconah and its villages;

28 وَفِي صِقْلَغَ وَمَكُونَةَ وَضِيَاعِهَا،

29 in En-rimmon, Zorah, Jarmuth,

29 وَفِي عَيْنِ رِمُّونَ وَصَرْعَةَ وَيِرْمُوثَ،

30 Zanoah, Adullam, and their villages; in Lachish and its fields; and in Azekah and its villages. So they settled from Beersheba all the way to the Valley of Hinnom.

30 وَزَانُوحَ وَعَدُلّامَ وَضِيَاعِهَا، وَلَخِيشَ وَحُقُولِهَا، وَعَزِيقَةَ وَضِيَاعِهَا. وَهَكَذَا اسْتَوْطَنُوا مِنْ بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ إِلَى وَادِي هِنُّومَ.

31 The descendants of Benjamin from Geba lived in Michmash, Aija, and Bethel with its villages;

31 وَسَكَنَ بَنُو بِنْيَامِينَ مِنْ جَبَعَ إِلَى مِخْمَاسَ وَعَيَّا وَبَيْتِ إِيلَ وَضِيَاعِهَا،

32 in Anathoth, Nob, Ananiah,

32 وَعَنَاثُوثَ وَنُوبَ وَعَنَنْيَةَ،

33 Hazor, Ramah, Gittaim,

33 وَحَاصُورَ وَرَامَةَ وَجِتَّايِمَ،

34 Hadid, Zeboim, Neballat,

34 وَحَادِيدَ وَصَبُوعِيمَ وَنَبَلّاطَ،

35 Lod, and Ono; and in the Valley of the Craftsmen.

35 وَلُودٍ وَأُونُوَ فِي وَادِي الصُّنَّاعِ.

36 And some divisions of the Levites of Judah settled in Benjamin.

36 وَانْتَقَلَ بَعْضُ اللّاوِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَسْكُنُونَ فِي يَهُوذَا لِيَسْكُنُوا فِي أَرْضِ سِبْطِ بِنْيَامِينَ.
