Los que regresaron de Babilonia

Todo Israel fue inscrito por genealogías; y he aquí, están escritos en el libro de los reyes de Israel. Y Judá fue llevado al destierro a Babilonia por su infidelidad(A).

(B)Los primeros que habitaron en sus posesiones en sus ciudades fueron los israelitas[a], los sacerdotes, los levitas(C) y los sirvientes del templo[b](D). Algunos de los hijos de Judá, de los hijos de Benjamín, y de los hijos de Efraín y Manasés habitaron en Jerusalén(E): Utai, hijo de Amiud, hijo de Omri, hijo de Imri, hijo de Bani, de los hijos de Pérez, hijo de Judá(F). De los silonitas: Asaías el primogénito, y sus hijos. De los hijos de Zera: Jeuel y sus parientes[c]: seiscientos noventa de ellos. De los hijos de Benjamín: Salú, hijo de Mesulam, hijo de Hodavías, hijo de Asenúa, e Ibneías, hijo de Jeroham, y Ela, hijo de Uzi, hijo de Micri, y Mesulam, hijo de Sefatías, hijo de Reuel, hijo de Ibnías; y sus parientes, conforme a sus generaciones, novecientos cincuenta y seis(G). Todos estos fueron jefes de las casas paternas conforme a las casas de sus padres.

10 (H)De los sacerdotes: Jedaías, Joiarib, Jaquín, 11 y Azarías[d], hijo de Hilcías, hijo de Mesulam[e], hijo de Sadoc, hijo de Meraiot, hijo de Ahitob, oficial principal de la casa de Dios(I); 12 y Adaía, hijo de Jeroham, hijo de Pasur, hijo de Malquías, y Masai, hijo de Adiel, hijo de Jazera, hijo de Mesulam, hijo de Mesilemit, hijo de Imer; 13 y sus parientes, jefes de sus casas paternas, mil setecientos sesenta hombres, muy capaces para la obra del servicio de la casa de Dios.

14 (J)De los levitas: Semaías, hijo de Hasub, hijo de Azricam, hijo de Hasabías, de los hijos de Merari; 15 y Bacbacar, Heres y Galal, y Matanías, hijo de Micaía, hijo de Zicri[f], hijo de Asaf; 16 y Obadías[g], hijo de Semaías[h], hijo de Galal, hijo de Jedutún, y Berequías, hijo de Asa, hijo de Elcana, que habitó en las aldeas de los netofatitas.

17 Los porteros eran: Salum[i], Acub, Talmón, Ahimán y sus parientes (Salum[j] el jefe, 18 estacionado hasta ahora a la puerta del rey, al oriente(K)). Estos eran los porteros del campamento de los hijos de Leví. 19 Y Salum, hijo de Coré, hijo de Ebiasaf[k], hijo de Corá, y sus parientes, de la casa de su padre, los coraítas, estaban encargados[l] de la obra del servicio, guardianes de los umbrales de la tienda; sus padres habían estado encargados del campamento del Señor como guardianes de la entrada. 20 Finees, hijo de Eleazar, antes había sido jefe de ellos, y el Señor estaba con él(L). 21 Zacarías(M), hijo de Meselemías[m], era portero a la entrada de la tienda de reunión. 22 El total de los que fueron escogidos para porteros en los umbrales era de doscientos doce. Estos fueron inscritos por genealogía en sus aldeas, a los cuales David y el vidente Samuel pusieron(N) en sus puestos de confianza(O). 23 Así pues, ellos y sus hijos estuvieron encargados de las puertas de la casa del Señor, es decir, la casa de la tienda. 24 Los porteros estaban en los cuatro lados[n]: al oriente, al occidente, al norte y al sur. 25 Y sus parientes en sus aldeas tenían que entrar cada siete días(P) para estar con ellos[o] de tiempo en tiempo; 26 porque los cuatro jefes de los porteros que eran levitas estaban en puestos de confianza, y estaban encargados de las cámaras y de los tesoros de la casa de Dios. 27 Pasaban la noche alrededor de la casa de Dios, porque la guardia estaba a su cargo[p](Q); y ellos estaban encargados de abrirla[q] cada mañana.

28 Y algunos de ellos estaban encargados de los utensilios del servicio y los contaban cuando los entraban y cuando los sacaban[r]. 29 Algunos de ellos también fueron puestos a cargo del mobiliario, de todos los utensilios del santuario, de la flor de harina(R), del vino, del aceite, del incienso y de las especias. 30 Y algunos de los hijos de los sacerdotes preparaban la mezcla de las especias aromáticas(S). 31 Matatías, uno de los levitas, el primogénito de Salum coreíta, era responsable[s] de las cosas que se preparaban en sartenes(T). 32 Y algunos de sus parientes, de los hijos de Coat, estaban encargados de los panes de la proposición para prepararlos cada día de descanso(U).

33 Y había[t] cantores(V), jefes de casas paternas de los levitas, que habitaban en las cámaras del templo, libres de todo otro servicio, porque estaban ocupados en su trabajo[u] día y noche(W). 34 Estos eran jefes de casas paternas de los levitas conforme a sus generaciones, jefes que[v] habitaban en Jerusalén.

35 (X)Y en Gabaón habitaba Jehiel, padre de Gabaón, y el nombre de su mujer era Maaca, 36 y su hijo primogénito fue Abdón; después Zur, Cis, Baal, Ner, Nadab, 37 Gedor, Ahío, Zacarías[w] y Miclot. 38 Y Miclot engendró a Simeam[x]. Y habitaban también con sus parientes en Jerusalén enfrente de sus otros parientes. 39 (Y)Ner engendró a Cis, Cis engendró a Saúl y Saúl engendró a Jonatán, Malquisúa, Abinadab y Es-baal. 40 El hijo de Jonatán fue Merib-baal, y Merib-baal engendró a Micaía. 41 Los hijos de Micaía fueron Pitón, Melec, Tarea y Acaz. 42 Acaz engendró a Jara[y], Jara[z] engendró a Alemet, Azmavet y Zimri, y Zimri engendró a Mosa; 43 y Mosa engendró a Bina y a Refaías[aa] su hijo, Elasa su hijo, Azel su hijo. 44 Azel tuvo seis hijos y estos eran sus nombres: Azricam, Bocru, Ismael, Searías, Obadías y Hanán. Estos fueron los hijos de Azel.

Priests and Levites in Jerusalem

So (A)all Israel was [a]recorded by genealogies, and indeed, they were inscribed in the book of the kings of Israel. But Judah was carried away captive to Babylon because of their unfaithfulness. (B)And the first inhabitants who dwelt in their possessions in their cities were Israelites, priests, Levites, and (C)the Nethinim.

Dwellers in Jerusalem

Now in (D)Jerusalem the children of Judah dwelt, and some of the children of Benjamin, and of the children of Ephraim and Manasseh: Uthai the son of Ammihud, the son of Omri, the son of Imri, the son of Bani, of the descendants of Perez, the son of Judah. Of the Shilonites: Asaiah the firstborn and his sons. Of the sons of Zerah: Jeuel, and their brethren—six hundred and ninety. Of the sons of Benjamin: Sallu the son of Meshullam, the son of Hodaviah, the son of Hassenuah; Ibneiah the son of Jeroham; Elah the son of Uzzi, the son of Michri; Meshullam the son of Shephatiah, the son of Reuel, the son of Ibnijah; and their brethren, according to their generations—nine hundred and fifty-six. All these men were heads of a father’s house in their fathers’ houses.

The Priests at Jerusalem

10 (E)Of the priests: Jedaiah, Jehoiarib, and Jachin; 11 [b]Azariah the son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, the (F)officer over the house of God; 12 Adaiah the son of Jeroham, the son of Pashur, the son of Malchijah; Maasai the son of Adiel, the son of Jahzerah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Meshillemith, the son of Immer; 13 and their brethren, heads of their fathers’ houses—one thousand seven hundred and sixty. They were [c]very able men for the work of the service of the house of God.

The Levites at Jerusalem

14 Of the Levites: Shemaiah the son of Hasshub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, of the sons of Merari; 15 Bakbakkar, Heresh, Galal, and Mattaniah the son of Micah, the son of (G)Zichri, the son of Asaph; 16 (H)Obadiah the son of (I)Shemaiah, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun; and Berechiah the son of Asa, the son of Elkanah, who lived in the villages of the Netophathites.

The Levite Gatekeepers

17 And the gatekeepers were Shallum, Akkub, Talmon, Ahiman, and their brethren. Shallum was the chief. 18 Until then they had been gatekeepers for the camps of the children of Levi at the King’s Gate on the east.

19 Shallum the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his brethren, from his father’s house, the Korahites, were in charge of the work of the service, [d]gatekeepers of the tabernacle. Their fathers had been keepers of the entrance to the camp of the Lord. 20 And (J)Phinehas the son of Eleazar had been the officer over them in time past; the Lord was with him. 21 (K)Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was [e]keeper of the door of the tabernacle of meeting.

22 All those chosen as gatekeepers were two hundred and twelve. (L)They were recorded by their genealogy, in their villages. David and Samuel (M)the seer had appointed them to their trusted office. 23 So they and their children were in charge of the gates of the house of the Lord, the house of the tabernacle, by assignment. 24 The gatekeepers were assigned to the four directions: the east, west, north, and south. 25 And their brethren in their villages had to come with them from time to time (N)for seven days. 26 For in this trusted office were four chief gatekeepers; they were Levites. And they had charge over the chambers and treasuries of the house of God. 27 And they lodged all around the house of God because [f]they had the (O)responsibility, and they were in charge of opening it every morning.

Other Levite Responsibilities

28 Now some of them were in charge of the serving vessels, for they brought them in and took them out by count. 29 Some of them were appointed over the furnishings and over all the implements of the sanctuary, and over the (P)fine flour and the wine and the oil and the incense and the spices. 30 And some of the sons of the priests made (Q)the ointment of the spices.

31 Mattithiah of the Levites, the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite, had the trusted office (R)over the things that were baked in the pans. 32 And some of their brethren of the sons of the Kohathites (S)were in charge of preparing the showbread for every Sabbath.

33 These are (T)the singers, heads of the fathers’ houses of the Levites, who lodged in the chambers, and were free from other duties; for they were employed in that work day and night. 34 These heads of the fathers’ houses of the Levites were heads throughout their generations. They dwelt at Jerusalem.

The Family of King Saul

35 Jeiel the father of Gibeon, whose wife’s name was (U)Maacah, dwelt at Gibeon. 36 His firstborn son was Abdon, then Zur, Kish, Baal, Ner, Nadab, 37 Gedor, Ahio, [g]Zechariah, and Mikloth. 38 And Mikloth begot [h]Shimeam. They also dwelt alongside their relatives in Jerusalem, with their brethren. 39 (V)Ner begot Kish, Kish begot Saul, and Saul begot Jonathan, Malchishua, Abinadab, and Esh-Baal. 40 The son of Jonathan was Merib-Baal, and Merib-Baal begot Micah. 41 The sons of Micah were Pithon, Melech, [i]Tahrea, (W)and[j] Ahaz. 42 And Ahaz begot [k]Jarah; Jarah begot Alemeth, Azmaveth, and Zimri; and Zimri begot Moza; 43 Moza begot Binea, [l]Rephaiah his son, Eleasah his son, and Azel his son.

44 And Azel had six sons whose names were these: Azrikam, Bocheru, Ishmael, Sheariah, Obadiah, and Hanan; these were the sons of Azel.

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.

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)

Mga Bumalik Mula sa Pagkabihag sa Babilonia

Ang lahat ng mamamayan ng Israel ay naitala ayon sa kanya-kanyang lipi. Ito'y nakasulat sa Kasaysayan ng mga Hari ng Israel. Ang mga taga-Juda ay ipinatapon sa Babilonia bilang parusa sa kanilang kasamaan. Ang(A) mga unang bumalik sa kanilang mga lunsod at lupain ay ang mga pari, mga Levita, mga tagapaglingkod sa Templo at mga karaniwang mamamayan. May mga angkan sina Juda, Benjamin, Efraim at Manases na tumira sa Jerusalem.

Mga Nanirahan sa Jerusalem

Sa angkan naman ni Peres na anak ni Juda ay si Utai na anak ni Amihud at apo ni Omri. Ang iba pang angkan niya ay sina Imri at Bani. Sa angkan ni Sela, si Asaya ang pinakamatanda at ang mga anak niya. Sa angkan ni Zera, si Jeuel at ang kanyang mga angkan, lahat-lahat ay 690 pamilya.

Sa lipi naman ni Benjamin: si Sallu, na anak ni Mesulam, na anak ni Hodavias na anak naman ni Asenua. Si Ibnias na anak ni Jeroham; si Ela na anak ni Uzi na anak naman ni Micri, si Mesulam na anak ni Sefatias, na anak ni Reuel na anak ni Ibnia. Ang kabuuan ng kanilang mga angkan ay umaabot sa 956. Lahat sila'y pinuno ng kani-kanilang sambahayan.

Ang mga Pari sa Jerusalem

10 Sa pangkat naman ng mga pari ay kabilang sina Jedaias, Joiarib at Jaquin. 11 Si Azarias na anak ni Hilkias ang pinakapuno sa Templo. Ang mga ninuno niya'y sina Zadok, Meraiot at Ahitob. 12 Kasama rin si Adaya na anak ni Jeroham at apo ni Pashur na anak ni Malquias. Anak ni Malquias si Masai at apo ni Adiel. Ito'y anak ni Jazera na anak ni Mesulam na anak ni Mesilemit na anak ni Imer. 13 Ang mga ito'y pinuno ng kani-kanilang sambahayan, pawang may kakayahan sa paglilingkod sa Templo at ang bilang nila ay umaabot sa 1,760.

Ang mga Levita sa Jerusalem

14 Ito naman ang listahan ng mga Levita: sa angkan ni Merari ay si Semaya na anak ni Hasub at apo ni Azrikam na anak naman ni Hashabias. 15 Kabilang din sina Bacbacar, Heres at Galal. Si Matanias ay anak ni Mica na anak ni Zicri na mula sa angkan ni Asaf.

16 Sa angkan ni Jeduthun ay kabilang si Obadias na anak ni Semaya at apo ni Galal, at si Berequias na anak ni Asa at apo ni Elkana. Sa mga nayon ng Netofa sila naninirahan.

Ang mga Bantay sa Templo na Nanirahan sa Jerusalem

17 Ang mga bantay sa pinto ng Templo ay sina Sallum, Akub, Talmon at Ahiman. Ang pinuno nila ay si Sallum. 18 Sila ang bantay sa pintong-pasukan ng hari sa gawing silangan ng Templo at dating bantay sa kampo ng mga anak ni Levi. 19 Si Sallum ay anak ni Korah at apo ni Ebiasaf na anak ni Korah. Kasama nila ang iba pang mula sa angkan ni Korah. Sila ang nakakaalam sa pagpasok sa Templo, gaya ng kanilang mga ninuno noong sila pa ang namahala sa kampo. 20 Si Finehas na anak ni Eleazar ang tagapamahala nila noon, at pinapatnubayan siya ni Yahweh. 21 Si Zacarias na anak ni Meselemias ang bantay-pinto sa Toldang Tipanan. 22 Ang lahat ng bantay-pinto ay umaabot sa 212. Sila'y kabilang sa listahan ng kani-kanilang nayon. Si David at ang propetang si Samuel ang naglagay sa kanila sa tungkuling ito sapagkat sila'y mapagkakatiwalaan. 23 Sila at ang kanilang mga anak ang naging bantay sa pinto ng Templo. 24 Sa apat na panig nito, sa silangan, sa kanluran, sa hilaga at sa timog ay may mga bantay. 25 Ang mga kamag-anak nila sa mga nayon sa paligid ay dumarating doon tuwing ikapitong araw upang makatulong nila. 26 Kailangan nilang gawin ito sapagkat ang apat na Levitang bantay doon ay namamahala rin sa mga silid at kayamanang nasa Templo. 27 Doon na sila natutulog sa Templo, sapagkat sa kanila ipinagkatiwala ang pangangalaga at pagbabantay niyon. Sila rin ang nagbubukas ng Templo tuwing umaga.

28 Ang iba sa kanila'y tagapangalaga ng mga kagamitan sa paglilingkod, sapagkat kailangang bilangin nila iyon tuwing gagamitin at ibabalik sa lalagyan. 29 Ang iba nama'y nangangalaga ng mga kasangkapan, ang iba naman ay sa mga kagamitan sa paglilingkod, tulad ng pinong harina, alak, langis, insenso at mga pabango. 30 At ang iba pa ang taga-timpla ng mga pabango. 31 Isa sa mga Levita na mula sa angkan ni Korah, si Matitias na panganay ni Sallum ang tagagawa ng manipis na tinapay. 32 May ilan pang mula sa angkan ni Kohat ang tagaayos naman sa mga tinapay na handog tuwing Araw ng Pamamahinga.

33 Ito ang mga pinuno ng mga sambahayang Levita na umaawit at doon na rin tumitira sa mga silid sa Templo. Wala silang ibang gawain, sapagkat kailangang gampanan nila ang kanilang tungkulin araw-gabi. 34 Sila'y mga pinuno ng mga sambahayang Levita ayon sa angkan at sila'y sa Jerusalem naninirahan.

Ang mga Ninuno at Angkan ni Haring Saul(B)

35 Doon din tumitira si Jelhiel, ang nagtatag ng bayan ng Gibeon. Ang asawa niya'y si Maaca. 36 Ang mga anak nila'y sina Abdon, Zur, Kish, Baal, Ner, Nadab, 37 Gedor, Ahio, Zacarias at Miclot. 38 Si Miclot ang ama ni Simeam at ng iba pang kamag-anak nilang nakatira sa tapat ng Jerusalem. 39 Si Ner ang ama ni Kish na ama naman ni Saul. Si Saul ang ama nina Jonatan, Melquisua, Abinadab at Esbaal. 40 Ang anak ni Jonatan ay si Merib-baal na ama naman ni Mica. 41 Ang mga anak ni Mica ay sina Piton, Melec, Tarea at Ahaz. 42 Si Ahaz ang ama ni Jara, at si Jara naman ang ama nina Alemet, Azmavet at Zimri. Si Zimri ang ama ni Moza, 43 at si Moza naman ang ama ni Binea na ama nina Refaya, Elasa at Azel. 44 Ang mga anak ni Azel ay sina Azrikam, Bocru, Ismael, Seraya, Obadias at Hanan.
