Allir Ísraelsmenn voru skráðir í ættartölur. Eru þeir ritaðir í bók Ísraelskonunga. Og Júdamenn voru herleiddir til Babel sakir ótrúmennsku þeirra.

En hinir fyrri íbúar, er voru í landeign þeirra og borgum, voru Ísraelsmenn, prestarnir, levítarnir og musterisþjónarnir.

Og í Jerúsalem bjuggu menn af Júdasonum, Benjamínssonum, Efraímssonum og Manassesonum:

Útaí Ammíhúdsson, Omrísonar, Imrísonar, Banísonar, er var af niðjum Peres, sonar Júda.

Og af Sílónítum: Asaja, frumgetningurinn og synir hans.

Og af niðjum Sera: Jegúel. Og bræður þeirra voru sex hundruð og níutíu alls.

Af Benjamínítum: Sallúm Mesúllamsson, Hódavjasonar, Hassenúasonar,

enn fremur Jíbneja Jeróhamsson, Ela Ússíson, Míkrísonar, Mésúllam Sefatjason, Regúelssonar, Jíbnejasonar,

og bræður þeirra eftir ættum þeirra, níu hundruð fimmtíu og sex alls. Allir þessir menn voru ætthöfðingjar í ættum sínum.

10 Af prestunum: Jedaja, Jójaríb, Jakín

11 og Asarja Hilkíason, Mesúllamssonar, Sadókssonar, Merajótssonar, Ahítúbssonar, höfuðsmaður yfir musteri Guðs.

12 Enn fremur Adaja Jeróhamsson, Pashúrssonar, Malkíasonar, og Maesí Adíelsson, Jahserasonar, Mesúllamssonar, Mesillemítssonar, Immerssonar.

13 Og bræður þeirra, ætthöfðingjar, voru alls eitt þúsund, sjö hundruð og sextíu, dugandi menn til þess að gegna þjónustu við musteri Guðs.

14 Af levítunum: Semaja Hassúbsson, Asríkamssonar, Hasabjasonar, af Meraríniðjum.

15 Enn fremur Bakbakkar, Heres, Galal, Mattanja Míkason, Síkrísonar, Asafssonar,

16 og Óbadía Semajason, Galalssonar, Jedútúnssonar og Berekía Asason, Elkanasonar, er bjó í þorpum Netófatíta.

17 Hliðverðirnir: Sallúm, Akkúb, Talmon og Ahíman og bræður þeirra. Var Sallúm æðstur,

18 og gætir hann enn konungshliðsins gegnt austri. Þetta eru hliðverðirnir í hópi levíta.

19 En Sallúm Kóreson, Ebjasafssonar, Kórasonar, og bræður hans, er voru af ætt hans, Kóraítarnir, höfðu þjónustu á hendi, þar sem þeir gættu þröskulda tjaldsins. Höfðu feður þeirra gætt dyranna í herbúðum Drottins,

20 og var Pínehas Eleasarsson forðum höfðingi þeirra. Drottinn sé með honum!

21 En Sakaría Meselemjason gætti dyra samfundatjalds-búðarinnar.

22 Alls voru þessir, er teknir voru til þess að vera dyraverðir, tvö hundruð og tólf. Voru þeir skráðir í ættartölur í þorpum sínum _ höfðu þeir Davíð og Samúel, sjáandinn, skipað þá í embætti þeirra _,

23 voru þeir og synir þeirra við hliðin á húsi Drottins, tjaldbúðinni, til þess að gæta þeirra.

24 Stóðu hliðverðirnir gegnt hinum fjórum áttum, gegnt austri, vestri, norðri og suðri.

25 En bræður þeirra, er bjuggu í þorpum sínum, áttu að koma inn við og við, sjö daga í senn, til þess að aðstoða þá,

26 því að þeir, fjórir yfirhliðverðirnir, höfðu stöðugt starf á hendi. Þetta eru levítarnir. Þeir höfðu og umsjón með herbergjum og fjársjóðum Guðs húss,

27 og héldu til um nætur umhverfis musteri Guðs, því að þeir áttu að halda vörð, og á hverjum morgni áttu þeir að ljúka upp.

28 Og nokkrir þeirra áttu að sjá um þjónustuáhöldin. Skyldu þeir telja þau, er þeir báru þau út og inn.

29 Og nokkrir skyldu sjá um áhöldin, og það öll hin helgu áhöld, og hveitimjölið, vínið og olíuna, reykelsið og kryddjurtirnar,

30 og nokkrir af sonum prestanna skyldu gjöra smyrsl af kryddjurtunum,

31 en Mattitja, einum af levítum, frumgetningi Sallúms Kóraíta, var falinn pönnubaksturinn.

32 Og nokkrir af Kahatítum, bræðrum þeirra, skyldu sjá um raðsettu brauðin og leggja þau fram á hverjum hvíldardegi.

33 Söngvararnir, ætthöfðingjar levíta, búa í herbergjunum, lausir við önnur störf, því að þeir hafa starfs að gæta dag og nótt.

34 Þessir eru ætthöfðingjar levíta eftir ættum þeirra, höfðingjar. Þeir bjuggu í Jerúsalem.

35 Í Gíbeon bjuggu: Jeíel, faðir að Gíbeon, og kona hans hét Maaka.

36 Og frumgetinn sonur hans var Abdón, þá Súr, Kís, Baal, Ner, Nadab,

37 Gedór, Ahjó, Sakaría og Miklót.

38 En Miklót gat Símeam. Einnig þeir bjuggu andspænis bræðrum sínum, hjá bræðrum sínum í Jerúsalem.

39 Ner gat Kís og Kís gat Sál, og Sál gat Jónatan, Malkísúa, Abínadab og Esbaal.

40 Og sonur Jónatans var Meríbaal, og Meríbaal gat Míka.

41 Og synir Míka voru: Píton, Melek, Tahrea og Akas.

42 En Akas gat Jaera, Jaera gat Alemet, Asmavet og Simrí, en Simrí gat Mósa,

43 Mósa gat Bínea. Hans son var Refaja, hans son Eleasa, hans son Asel.

44 En Asel átti sex sonu. Þeir hétu: Asríkam, Bokrú, Ísmael, Searja, Óbadía, Hanan. Þessir eru synir Asels.

All Israel(A) was listed in the genealogies recorded in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah. They were taken captive to Babylon(B) because of their unfaithfulness.(C)

The People in Jerusalem(D)

Now the first to resettle on their own property in their own towns(E) were some Israelites, priests, Levites and temple servants.(F)

Those from Judah, from Benjamin, and from Ephraim and Manasseh who lived in Jerusalem were:

Uthai son of Ammihud, the son of Omri, the son of Imri, the son of Bani, a descendant of Perez son of Judah.(G)

Of the Shelanites[a]:

Asaiah the firstborn and his sons.

Of the Zerahites:

Jeuel.

The people from Judah numbered 690.

Of the Benjamites:

Sallu son of Meshullam, the son of Hodaviah, the son of Hassenuah;

Ibneiah son of Jeroham; Elah son of Uzzi, the son of Mikri; and Meshullam son of Shephatiah, the son of Reuel, the son of Ibnijah.

The people from Benjamin, as listed in their genealogy, numbered 956. All these men were heads of their families.

10 Of the priests:

Jedaiah; Jehoiarib; Jakin;

11 Azariah son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, the official in charge of the house of God;

12 Adaiah son of Jeroham, the son of Pashhur,(H) the son of Malkijah; and Maasai son of Adiel, the son of Jahzerah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Meshillemith, the son of Immer.

13 The priests, who were heads of families, numbered 1,760. They were able men, responsible for ministering in the house of God.

14 Of the Levites:

Shemaiah son of Hasshub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, a Merarite; 15 Bakbakkar, Heresh, Galal and Mattaniah(I) son of Mika, the son of Zikri, the son of Asaph; 16 Obadiah son of Shemaiah, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun; and Berekiah son of Asa, the son of Elkanah, who lived in the villages of the Netophathites.(J)

17 The gatekeepers:(K)

Shallum, Akkub, Talmon, Ahiman and their fellow Levites, Shallum their chief 18 being stationed at the King’s Gate(L) on the east, up to the present time. These were the gatekeepers belonging to the camp of the Levites. 19 Shallum(M) son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his fellow gatekeepers from his family (the Korahites) were responsible for guarding the thresholds of the tent just as their ancestors had been responsible for guarding the entrance to the dwelling of the Lord. 20 In earlier times Phinehas(N) son of Eleazar was the official in charge of the gatekeepers, and the Lord was with him. 21 Zechariah(O) son of Meshelemiah was the gatekeeper at the entrance to the tent of meeting.

22 Altogether, those chosen to be gatekeepers(P) at the thresholds numbered 212. They were registered by genealogy in their villages. The gatekeepers had been assigned to their positions of trust by David and Samuel the seer.(Q) 23 They and their descendants were in charge of guarding the gates of the house of the Lord—the house called the tent of meeting. 24 The gatekeepers were on the four sides: east, west, north and south. 25 Their fellow Levites in their villages had to come from time to time and share their duties for seven-day(R) periods. 26 But the four principal gatekeepers, who were Levites, were entrusted with the responsibility for the rooms and treasuries(S) in the house of God. 27 They would spend the night stationed around the house of God,(T) because they had to guard it; and they had charge of the key(U) for opening it each morning.

28 Some of them were in charge of the articles used in the temple service; they counted them when they were brought in and when they were taken out. 29 Others were assigned to take care of the furnishings and all the other articles of the sanctuary,(V) as well as the special flour and wine, and the olive oil, incense and spices. 30 But some(W) of the priests took care of mixing the spices. 31 A Levite named Mattithiah, the firstborn son of Shallum the Korahite, was entrusted with the responsibility for baking the offering bread. 32 Some of the Kohathites, their fellow Levites, were in charge of preparing for every Sabbath the bread set out on the table.(X)

33 Those who were musicians,(Y) heads of Levite families, stayed in the rooms of the temple and were exempt from other duties because they were responsible for the work day and night.(Z)

34 All these were heads of Levite families, chiefs as listed in their genealogy, and they lived in Jerusalem.
