The Genealogy of Returned Exiles

9 So all Israel was enrolled in genealogy. And behold, they were written in the book of the kings of Israel. And Judah was taken away to Babylon on account of their sin. 2 Now the first inhabitants who were settled on their property in their cities in Israel were the priests, the Levites, and the temple servants. 3 And some of the people of Judah, Benjamin, Ephraim, and Manasseh lived in Jerusalem: 4 Uthai the son of Ammihud, son of Omri, son of Imri, son of Bani,[a] from the sons of Perez,[b] the son of Judah. 5 And from the Shilonites: Asaiah the firstborn and his sons. 6 And from the sons of Zerah: Jeuel and their brethren, six hundred and ninety. 7 And from the sons of Benjamin: Sallu the son of Meshullam, son of Hodaviah, the son of Hassenuah; 8 Ibneah the son of Jeroham; Elah the son of Uzzi, son of Michri; Meshullam the son of Shephatiah, son of Reuel, son of Ibnijah; 9 and their brethren according to their generations, nine hundred and fifty-six. All these men were the heads of the families[c] in the house of their fathers.

10 And from the priests: Jedaiah; Jehoiarib; Jakin; 11 Azariah son of Hilkiah, son of Meshullam, son of Zadok, son of Meraioth, son of Ahitub, the commander of the house of God; 12 Adaiah son of Jeroham, son of Pashhur, son of Malkijah; Maasai the son of Adiel, son of Jahzerah, son of Meshullam, son of Meshillemith, son of Immer; 13 and their kinsmen, heads of the house of their fathers, one thousand seven hundred and sixty mighty men for the work of the service of the house of God.

14 And from the Levites: Shemaiah son of Hasshub, son of Azrikam, son of Hashabiah, from the sons of Merari; 15 Bakbakkar; Heresh; Galal; Mattaniah the son of Mica, son of Zicri, son of Asaph; 16 Obadiah the son of Shemaiah, son of Galal, son of Jeduthun; and Berechiah the son of Asa, son of Elkanah, who lived in the villages of Netophathite.

17 And the gatekeepers were Shallum, Akkub, Talmon, Ahiman, and their brethren (Shallum was the chief); 18 until then they were gatekeepers at the gate of the king on the east side toward the camps of the Levites. 19 And Shallum the son of Kore, son of Ebiasaph, son of Korah, and his kinsmen of the house of his fathers, the Korahites, were over the work of the service, the guardians of the entrances to the tent, and their fathers were over the camp of Yahweh, guardians of the entrance. 20 And Phinehas the son of Eleazar was the leader over them in time past;[d] Yahweh was with him. 21 Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was gatekeeper at the doorway to the tent of assembly.[e] 22 All of them were chosen as gatekeepers at the entrances, two hundred and twelve. They were enrolled by genealogies in their villages. They were established by David and Samuel the seer on account of their faithfulness. 23 So they and their sons were over the gates of the house of Yahweh at the house of the tent as guards. 24 The gatekeepers were on four sides: east, west, north, and south. 25 And their brethren in their villages were to come every seven days by turn[f] to be with these. 26 For the four mighty gatekeepers, they who were Levites, were entrusted[g] and were over the chambers and over the storerooms of the house of God. 27 And they lodged all around the house of God, for upon them was a responsibility. And they had charge of opening the house of God every morning.[h]

28 And some of them were over the utensils of the service, for they count them[i] when they are brought in and they count them[j] when they are brought out. 29 And some of them were appointed over the objects, over the objects of the sanctuary, and over the wheat flour and the wine, the olive oil, the frankincense, and the spices. 30 And some of the sons of the priests mixed the fragrant ointment for the spices. 31 And Mattithiah, one of the Levites, was the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite and was entrusted[k] with the work of the pan breads. 32 And from the sons of the Kohathites, some of their kinsmen were over the showbread[l] to prepare it every Sabbath.[m]

33 Now these were the singers; the heads of the families[n] of the Levites were in the chambers free from other service, for day and night they were over them on the service. 34 These were the heads of the families[o] of the Levites according to their genealogies, leaders. These lived in Jerusalem.

35 And these lived in Gibeon: Jeiel the father of Gibeon. And the name of his wife was Maacah. 36 And his firstborn son Abdon, and Zur, Kish, Baal, Ner, Nadab, 37 Gedor, Ahio, Zechariah, and Mikloth. 38 And Mikloth fathered Shimeam. And they also lived nearby their brothers in Jerusalem with their brothers. 39 And Ner fathered Kish, and Kish fathered Saul, and Saul fathered Jonathan, Malchi-Shua, Abinadab, and Eshbaal. 40 And the son of Jonathan was Meribaal. And Meribaal fathered Micah. 41 And the sons of Micah were Pithon, Melech, Tahrea, and Ahaz.[p] 42 And Ahaz fathered Jarah, and Jarah fathered Alemeth, Azmaveth, and Zimri. And Zimri fathered Moza, 43 and Moza fathered Binea; and Rephaiah was his son, Eleasah his son, Azel his son. 44 And Azel had six sons, and these are their names: Azrikam, Bokeru, Ishmael, Sheariah, Obadiah, and Hanan. These were the sons of Azel.

Swedish New Living Bible (Nya Levande Bibeln)

De återvändande från Babylon

9 Varje persons släktförhållanden var mycket noga noterade i Israels kungars krönikor.Juda fördes bort i fångenskap till Babylon på grund av sin otrohet mot Herren.

2 De första som kom tillbaka för att bo i sina gamla hemstäder var familjer från Israels olika stammar, präster, leviter och tempeltjänare.

3 Från Judas, Benjamins, Efraims och Manasses stammar återvände några till Jerusalem:

4 Utai tillhörde Peres släkt i Judas stam. Utai var son till Ammihud, som var son till Omri, som var son till Imri, som var son till Bani.

5 Siloniterna återvände genom Asaja, Silons äldste son, och dennes söner.

6 Seras son Jeguel återvände. Allt som allt kom 690 personer från Judas stam tillbaka.

7-8 Från Benjamins stam återvände flera familjer:Sallu, son till Mesullam, sonson till Hodauja och sonsons son till Hassenua, Jibnea, son till Jeroham, Ela, son till Ussi och sonson till Mikri, Mesullam, son till Sefatja, sonson till Reguel och sonsons son till Jibneja.

9 Dessa män var alla huvudmän för sina släkter. Sammanlagt var det 956 benjaminiter som återvände.

10-11 De präster som återvände var Jedaja, Jojarib, Jakin och Asarja, vars förfäder var Hilkia, Mesullam, Sadok, Merajot och Ahitub. Asarja var vaktchef i templet.

12 Andra återvändande präster var Adaja, Jerohams son, Pashurs sonson och Malkis sonsons son, och Maasai, son till Adiel, som var son till Jasera, som var son till Mesullam, som var son till Mesillemit, som var son till Immer.

13 Sammanlagt återvände 1.760 präster. De var alla dugliga män och ledare för sina familjer. De ansvarade för tjänsten i Guds hus.

14 Bland de leviter som återvände fanns Semaja, som härstammade från Merari. Hans far hette Hassub, Asrikams son och Hasabjas sonson.

15-16 Andra leviter som återvände var Bakbackar, Heres, Galal och Mattanja, son till Mika, som var son till Sikri, som var son till Asaf, Obadja, son till Semaja, som var son till Galal, som var son till Jedutun, och Berekja, son till Asa, som var son till Elkana, som bodde i netofatiternas område.

17-18 De dörrvaktare som återvände var Sallum, deras ledare, och hans medhjälpare Ackub, Talmon och Ahiman, alla leviter. De är fortfarande ansvariga för Kungsporten i öster.

19 Sallum var son till Kore, som var son till Ebjasaf och sonson till Kora. Sallum och hans närmaste släktingar bland koraiterna hade ansvaret för vakthållningen vid tabernaklets ingångar, precis som deras förfäder hade haft.

20 Pinehas, Eleasars son, hade varit den förste ledaren för denna avdelning långt tillbaka i tiden. Och Herren hade varit med honom!

21 Sakarja, Meselemjas son, var dörrvaktare vid tabernaklets ingång.

22 Allt som allt fanns det 212 dörrvaktare. De var registrerade i sin bys släktregister. David och Samuel hade utsett dem till detta hedersuppdrag.

23 De och deras ättlingar skulle ansvara för Herrens tabernakel.

24 De fanns på tabernaklets alla sidor, den östra, västra, norra och södra sidan.

25 Deras släktingar, som bodde kvar i byarna, avlöste dem regelbundet i perioder om sju dagar.

26 De fyra främsta dörrvaktarna, samtliga leviter, var ansvariga för förrummen och skattkammaren i Guds tabernakel.

27 De tillbringade natten på post runt Guds hus och öppnade portarna varje morgon.

28 Några av dem hade som sin särskilda uppgift att ansvara för de kärl som användes vid offer och gudstjänster. De räknade kärlen noga, både före och efter användningen, så att inte något skulle försvinna.

29 Andra var ansvariga för de övriga tillbehören, det som fanns inne i det heliga som fint mjöl, vin, rökelse, olja och kryddor.

30 Vissa präster blandade kryddorna.

31 Mattitja, en av leviterna och äldste sonen till koraiten Sallum, hade ansvaret för bakningen av offerbröden.

32 Några medlemmar av Kehats släkt hade ansvar för det särskilda bröd som skulle förberedas till varje sabbat.

33-34 De som var musiker, alla leviter och huvudmän i sina familjer, bodde i templet i Jerusalem. De var alltid i tjänst och därför befriade från all annan sysselsättning.

35-37 Jeguel bodde i Gibeon med sin hustru Maaka. Han var en ansedd man i staden och hade många söner:Abdon var äldst, sedan följde Sur, Kis, Baat, Nadab, Gedor, Ajo, Seker och Miklot,

38 som var far till Simea. Alla dessa familjer bodde i närheten av Jerusalem.

39 Ner var far till Kis, och Kis var far till Saul. Bland Sauls söner fanns Jonatan, Malki-Sua, Abinadab och Esbaal.

40 Jonatan var far till Mefiboset som var far till Mika.

41 Mikas söner hette:Piton, Melek, Taarea och Ahas.

42 Ahas var far till Joadda, som var far till Alemet, Asmavet och Simri. Simris son hette Mosa.

43 Mosa var far till Binea, som var far till Rafa, som var far till Eleasa, som var far till Asel.

44 Asel hade sex söner:Asrikam Bokeru, Ismael, Seraja, Obadja och Hanan.

English Standard Version

A Genealogy of the Returned Exiles

9 So all Israel was recorded in genealogies, and these are written in the Book of the Kings of Israel. And (A)Judah was taken into exile in Babylon because of their breach of faith. 2 (B)Now the first to (C)dwell again in their possessions in their cities were Israel, the priests, the Levites, and the (D)temple servants. 3 And some of the people of Judah, Benjamin, Ephraim, and Manasseh lived in Jerusalem: 4 Uthai the son of Ammihud, son of Omri, son of Imri, son of Bani, from the sons of (E)Perez the son of Judah. 5 And of the Shilonites: Asaiah the firstborn, and his sons. 6 Of the sons of Zerah: Jeuel and their kinsmen, 690. 7 Of the Benjaminites: Sallu the son of Meshullam, son of Hodaviah, son of Hassenuah, 8 Ibneiah the son of Jeroham, Elah the son of Uzzi, son of Michri, and Meshullam the son of Shephatiah, son of Reuel, son of Ibnijah; 9 and their kinsmen according to their generations, (F)956. All these were heads of fathers' houses according (G)to their fathers' houses.

10 (H)Of the priests: Jedaiah, Jehoiarib, Jachin, 11 and Azariah the son of Hilkiah, son of Meshullam, son of Zadok, son of Meraioth, son of Ahitub, the (I)chief officer of the house of God; 12 and Adaiah the son of Jeroham, son of Pashhur, son of Malchijah, and Maasai the son of Adiel, son of Jahzerah, son of Meshullam, son of Meshillemith, son of Immer; 13 besides their kinsmen, heads of their fathers' houses, 1,760, mighty men for the work of the service of the house of God.

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

17 The gatekeepers were Shallum, Akkub, Talmon, Ahiman, and their kinsmen (Shallum was the chief); 18 until then they were (K)in the king's gate on the east side as the gatekeepers of the camps of the Levites. 19 Shallum the son of Kore, son of (L)Ebiasaph, son of Korah, and his kinsmen of his fathers' house, the (M)Korahites, were in charge of the work of the service, keepers of the thresholds of the tent, as their fathers had been in charge of the camp of the Lord, keepers of the entrance. 20 And (N)Phinehas the son of Eleazar was the chief officer over them in time past; the Lord was with him. 21 (O)Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was gatekeeper at the entrance of the tent of meeting. 22 All these, who were chosen as gatekeepers at the thresholds, were 212. They were enrolled by genealogies in their villages. (P)David and Samuel (Q)the seer established them in their office of trust. 23 So they and their sons were in charge of the gates of the house of the Lord, that is, the house of the tent, as guards. 24 The gatekeepers were on the four sides, east, west, north, and south. 25 And their kinsmen who were (R)in their villages were obligated to come (S)in every seven days, in turn, to be with these, 26 for the four chief gatekeepers, who were Levites, were entrusted to be over (T)the chambers and the treasures of the house of God. 27 And they lodged around the house of God, for on them lay the duty of watching, and (U)they had charge of opening it every morning.

28 Some of them had charge of the utensils of service, for they were required to count them when they were brought in and taken out. 29 Others of them were appointed over the furniture and over all the holy utensils, also over the (V)fine flour, the wine, the oil, the incense, and the spices. 30 Others, of the sons of the priests, (W)prepared the mixing of the spices, 31 and Mattithiah, one of the Levites, the firstborn of (X)Shallum the (Y)Korahite, was entrusted with (Z)making the flat cakes. 32 Also some of their kinsmen of the Kohathites had (AA)charge of the showbread, to prepare it every Sabbath.

33 Now these, the (AB)singers, the heads of fathers' houses of the Levites, were in the chambers of the temple free from other service, for they were on duty day and night. 34 These were heads of fathers' houses of the Levites, according to their generations, leaders. These lived in Jerusalem.
