Esdras 8
Dios Habla Hoy

La lista de los que regresaron

8 Ésta es la lista de los jefes de familia, según el registro familiar de cada uno de ellos, que durante el reinado de Artajerjes volvieron de Babilonia con Esdras:

2-3 Guersón, de los descendientes de Finees;
Daniel, de los descendientes de Itamar;
Hatús, hijo de Secanías, de los descendientes de David;
Zacarías, de los descendientes de Parós, acompañado de ciento cincuenta hombres apuntados en la lista;
4 Eliehoenai, hijo de Zeraías, de los descendientes de Pahat-moab, acompañado de doscientos hombres;
5 Secanías, hijo de Jahaziel, de los descendientes de Zatú, acompañado de trescientos hombres;
6 Ébed, hijo de Jonatán, de los descendientes de Adín, acompañado de cincuenta hombres;
7 Isaías, hijo de Atalías, de los descendientes de Elam, acompañado de setenta hombres;
8 Zebadías, hijo de Micael, de los descendientes de Sefatías, acompañado de ochenta hombres;
9 Abdías, hijo de Jehiel, de los descendientes de Joab, acompañado de doscientos dieciocho hombres;
10 Selomit, hijo de Josifías, de los descendientes de Baní, acompañado de ciento sesenta hombres;
11 Zacarías, hijo de Bebai, de los descendientes de Bebai, acompañado de veintiocho hombres;
12 Johanán, hijo de Hacatán, de los descendientes de Azgad, acompañado de ciento diez hombres;
13 Elifélet, Jeiel y Semaías, últimos descendientes de Adonicam, acompañados de sesenta hombres, volvieron más tarde.
14 Utai y Zabud, de los descendientes de Bigvai, acompañados de setenta hombres.

Los sirvientes del templo

15 Yo, Esdras, los reuní a todos ellos junto al canal que va a dar al río Ahavá, y acampamos allí tres días. Y cuando pasé revista a la gente y a los sacerdotes, no encontré a ningún levita. 16 Por lo tanto envié a Eliézer, Ariel, Semaías, Elnatán, Jarib, Elnatán, Natán, Zacarías y Mesulam, que eran personas importantes, y también a los maestros Joiarib y Elnatán, 17 con la orden de visitar a Idó, jefe del lugar llamado Casifiá, y les dije todo lo que tenían que comunicar a Idó y sus compañeros, los sirvientes del templo que estaban en Casifiá, para que nos trajeran gente que nos ayudara en el templo de nuestro Dios. 18 Y, gracias a Dios, nos trajeron a Serebías, hombre muy capaz, descendiente de un levita llamado Mahli, con sus hijos y hermanos; dieciocho personas en total. 19 Además nos trajeron a Hasabías e Isaías, descendientes de Merarí, que con sus hijos y hermanos sumaban veinte personas.

20 De los sirvientes del templo puestos por David y los dirigentes al servicio de los levitas, había doscientos veinte, todos ellos nombrados personalmente.

21 Después proclamé un ayuno cerca del río Ahavá, para que reconociéramos nuestras faltas ante nuestro Dios, y para pedirle que nos llevara con bien a nosotros, nuestras familias y nuestras posesiones. 22 Pues me dio vergüenza pedirle al rey soldados de caballería para que nos protegieran del enemigo en el camino, ya que le habíamos dicho al rey que Dios protege a todos los que le buscan, pero que descarga su fuerza y su ira sobre todos los que le abandonan. 23 De modo que ayunamos y rogamos a Dios por todo esto, y él nos atendió.

24 Luego aparté a doce dirigentes de los sacerdotes: a Serebías, Hasabías y diez compañeros suyos, 25 y les pesé y entregué la plata, el oro y los utensilios que el rey y sus consejeros y oficiales y todos los israelitas allí presentes habían ofrecido como donativo para el templo de nuestro Dios. 26 Les pesé y entregué veintiún mil cuatrocientos cincuenta kilos de plata, cien utensilios de plata y tres mil trescientos kilos de oro; 27 además, veinte tazas de oro con un peso total de ocho kilos, y dos utensilios de bronce bruñido de primera calidad, tan valiosos como si fueran de oro.

28 Luego les dije: «Ustedes están consagrados al Señor, lo mismo que los utensilios. La plata y el oro son para el Señor, Dios de nuestros padres. 29 Tengan cuidado y guárdenlos hasta que los pesen en presencia de los jefes de los sacerdotes, y de los levitas y jefes de familia de Israel, en los cuartos del templo del Señor, en Jerusalén.» 30 Entonces los sacerdotes y los levitas recibieron la plata, el oro y los utensilios que habían sido pesados, y los llevaron a Jerusalén, al templo de nuestro Dios.

31 El día doce del mes primero nos marchamos del río Ahavá para dirigirnos a Jerusalén. Nuestro Dios nos ayudó, librándonos de enemigos y de bandidos en el camino. 32 Cuando llegamos a Jerusalén, descansamos tres días. 33 Al cuarto día se pesó la plata, el oro y los utensilios en el templo de nuestro Dios, y se entregó todo al sacerdote Meremot, hijo de Urías. Con él estaban Eleazar, hijo de Finees, y los levitas Jozabad, hijo de Josué, y Noadías, hijo de Binuy. 34 Aquel mismo día se pesó y contó todo, y se tomó nota de la carga.

35 Después, los desterrados que volvieron del exilio entregaron para los holocaustos al Dios de Israel, y en nombre de todos los israelitas, doce becerros, noventa y seis carneros, setenta y siete corderos y doce chivos para la ofrenda por el pecado. Todos fueron quemados en honor del Señor. 36 Luego entregaron la orden del rey a las autoridades del reino y a los gobernadores de la provincia al oeste del río Éufrates, los cuales apoyaron al pueblo y al templo de Dios.

召集利未人與殿役

15 “我召集他們到那條流往亞哈瓦的河邊；我們在那裡安營住了三天。當我視察民眾和祭司的時候，發現沒有利未人在那裡。 16 於是我把首領以利以謝、亞列、示瑪雅、以利拿單、雅立、以利拿單、拿單、撒迦利亞和米書蘭召來，也把有學問的教師約雅立和以利拿單召來， 17 差派他們到迦西斐雅的地方那裡去見首領易多，又把他們在迦西斐雅的地方，對易多和他作殿役的親族所當說的話都告訴他們，請他們為我們　神的殿打發僕人到我們這裡來。 18 因為我們　神施恩的手幫助我們，他們就從以色列的曾孫、利未的孫子、抹利的子孫中帶一個敏悟的人到我們這裡來；還有示利比和他的兒子，以及他們的兄弟，共十八人。 19 又有哈沙比雅和與他在一起的米拉利的子孫耶篩亞，以及他的兄弟和他們的兒子共二十人。 20 還有從前大衛和眾領袖分派去服事利未人的殿役中，帶來了二百二十人，全都是按名呼召的。

準備回歸

21 “那時，我在亞哈瓦河邊那裡宣告禁食，為要在我們的　神面前謙卑下來，為自己和我們的孩子，以及我們所有的財物尋求　神指示一條暢通的道路。 22 我羞於請求王派遣步兵和馬兵幫助我們抵禦路上的仇敵，因為我們曾告訴王說：‘我們　神的手必幫助所有尋求他的人，賜福給他們，但他的能力和忿怒必攻擊所有離棄他的人。’ 23 所以我們禁食，尋求我們的　神，他就應允我們。

為聖殿而獻的禮物

24 “我從祭司首領中選派了十二人，以及示利比、哈沙比雅和與他們在一起的十位兄弟， 25 把金子、銀子和器皿，就是王和他的謀士、領袖，以及在那裡的以色列眾人獻給我們神殿的禮物，都稱了交給他們。 26 我稱了交在他們手中的銀子，有二十二公噸，銀器重三千四百公斤、金子三千四百公斤。 27 金碗二十個，價值八公斤半；上好而發亮的銅器兩個，像黃金那樣寶貴。

28 “我對他們說：‘你們是歸耶和華為聖的，器皿也是神聖的，金銀是甘心獻給耶和華你們列祖的　神的禮物。 29 你們要謹慎看守，直到你們在耶路撒冷耶和華殿的庫房裡，在祭司長和利未人的領袖，以及以色列人的族長面前，過了秤。’ 30 於是祭司和利未人把稱過了的金銀和器皿收下，帶到耶路撒冷我們　神的殿裡。

返抵耶路撒冷

31 “正月十二日，我們從亞哈瓦河啟程，往耶路撒冷去。我們的　神的手保佑我們，拯救我們脫離仇敵和在路上埋伏的人的手。 32 我們到了耶路撒冷，在那裡住了三天； 33 第四天，在我們　神的殿裡，金銀和器皿都過了秤，交在烏利亞祭司的兒子米利末的手中；與他在一起的有非尼哈的兒子以利亞撒；與他們在一起的還有利未人耶書亞的兒子約撒拔和賓內的兒子挪亞底。 34 一切物品按著數目稱過；同時每件的重量都記錄下來。

35 “那時，從被擄歸回的人都向以色列的　神獻燔祭，就是為全以色列獻公牛十二頭、公綿羊九十六隻、綿羊羔七十七隻；又獻公山羊十二隻作贖罪祭；這一切都是獻給耶和華的燔祭。 36 他們把王的命令交給王的總督和河西那邊的省長，他們就幫助民眾和神殿的需要。”

Ezra 8
Common English Bible

8 These are the heads of the families, and this is the genealogy of those who went up with me during the rule of King Artaxerxes:

2 of the family of Phinehas, Gershom; of Ithamar, Daniel; of David, Hattush, 3 Shecaniah’s son;[a] of Parosh, Zechariah and with him were registered 150 men;

4 of Pahath-moab, Eliehoenai, Zerahiah’s son and with him 200 men;

5 of Zattu,[b] Shecaniah, Jahaziel’s son and with him 300 men;

6 of Adin, Ebed, Jonathan’s son and with him 50 men;

7 of Elam, Jeshaiah, Athaliah’s son and with him 70 men;

8 of Shephatiah, Zebadiah, Michael’s son and with him 80 men;

9 of Joab, Obadiah, Jehiel’s son and with him 218 men;

10 of Bani,[c] Shelomith, Josiphiah’s son and with him 160 men;

11 of Bebai, Zechariah, Bebai’s son and with him 28 men;

12 of Azgad, Johanan, Hakkatan’s son and with him 110 men;

13 of the last of Adonikam, namely Eliphelet, Jeuel, and Shemaiah and with them 60 men;

14 of Bigvai, Uthai and Zaccur and with them were 70 men.

Voyage to Jerusalem

15 I gathered them by the river that runs to Ahava, and there we camped for three days.

As I reviewed the people and the priests, I found no Levites there. 16 So I called for Eliezer, Ariel, Shemaiah, Elnathan, Jarib, Elnathan, Nathan, Zechariah, and Meshullam, all leaders, together with Joiarib and Elnathan, who were wise. 17 I sent them[d] to Iddo, the leader at the place named Casiphia, telling them what to say to Iddo and his colleagues the temple servants at Casiphia, namely, to send us ministers for God’s house. 18 Because we were favored by God, they brought us Sherebiah, a skillful man of the family of Mahli, Levi’s son and Israel’s grandson, together with his sons and relatives so that there were eighteen in total. 19 They also brought us Hashabiah and with him Jeshaiah of the family of Merari, together with his relatives and their sons so that there were twenty in total. 20 In addition, there were two hundred twenty temple servants whom David and the princes had appointed to serve the Levites. These were all recorded by name.

21 Then I called for a fast there at the Ahava River so that we might submit before our God and ask of him a safe journey for ourselves, our children, and all our possessions. 22 I had been ashamed to ask the king for a group of soldiers and cavalry to help us in facing enemies on the way, because we had told the king, “The power of God favors all who seek him, but his fierce wrath is against all who abandon him.” 23 So we fasted and prayed to our God for this, and he responded to us.

24 Then I selected twelve of the leading priests, Sherebiah and Hashabiah and ten of their relatives with them. 25 I weighed out to them the silver and the gold and the equipment, the offering for the house of our God that the king, his counselors, his officials, and all Israel present there had offered. 26 I weighed out into their keeping six hundred fifty kikkars of silver, one hundred silver containers weighing a certain number of kikkars, one hundred kikkars of gold, 27 twenty gold bowls worth one thousand darics, and two containers of highly polished copper, which were as precious as gold. 28 I said to them, “You are holy to the Lord, and the equipment is holy; the silver and the gold are a spontaneous gift to the Lord, the God of your ancestors. 29 Guard them carefully until you weigh them out in Jerusalem before the officials of the priests, the Levites, and the heads of the families of Israel, within the rooms of the Lord’s house.” 30 So the priests and the Levites received the silver and the gold and the utensils as they were weighed out, in order to bring them to Jerusalem, to our God’s house.

31 Then we left the Ahava River on the twelfth day of the first month[e] to go to Jerusalem. The power of our God was with us; he saved us from the power of the enemy and ambushes along the way.

Finishing the journey

32 After arriving in Jerusalem, we rested there three days. 33 On the fourth day, the silver and the gold and the equipment were weighed out in our God’s house into the care of the priest named Meremoth, Uriah’s son, together with Eleazar, Phinehas’ son; and the Levites, Jozabad, Jeshua’s son, and Noadiah, Binnui’s son. 34 Everything was counted and weighed, and the total weight was recorded.

35 At that time, those who had come from the captivity, the returned exiles, offered as entirely burned offerings to the God of Israel twelve bulls for all Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, and twelve male goats as a purification offering. All this was an entirely burned offering to the Lord. 36 They also delivered the king’s orders to the royal chief administrators and governors of the province Beyond the River, who supported the people and God’s house.

14 of the descendants of Bigvai, Uthai and Zakkur, and with them 70 men.

The Return to Jerusalem

15 I assembled them at the canal that flows toward Ahava,(G) and we camped there three days. When I checked among the people and the priests, I found no Levites(H) there. 16 So I summoned Eliezer, Ariel, Shemaiah, Elnathan, Jarib, Elnathan, Nathan, Zechariah and Meshullam, who were leaders, and Joiarib and Elnathan, who were men of learning, 17 and I ordered them to go to Iddo, the leader in Kasiphia. I told them what to say to Iddo and his fellow Levites, the temple servants(I) in Kasiphia, so that they might bring attendants to us for the house of our God. 18 Because the gracious hand of our God was on us,(J) they brought us Sherebiah,(K) a capable man, from the descendants of Mahli son of Levi, the son of Israel, and Sherebiah’s sons and brothers, 18 in all; 19 and Hashabiah, together with Jeshaiah from the descendants of Merari, and his brothers and nephews, 20 in all. 20 They also brought 220 of the temple servants(L)—a body that David and the officials had established to assist the Levites. All were registered by name.

21 There, by the Ahava Canal,(M) I proclaimed a fast, so that we might humble ourselves before our God and ask him for a safe journey(N) for us and our children, with all our possessions. 22 I was ashamed to ask the king for soldiers(O) and horsemen to protect us from enemies on the road, because we had told the king, “The gracious hand of our God is on everyone(P) who looks to him, but his great anger is against all who forsake him.(Q)” 23 So we fasted(R) and petitioned our God about this, and he answered our prayer.

24 Then I set apart twelve of the leading priests, namely, Sherebiah,(S) Hashabiah and ten of their brothers, 25 and I weighed out(T) to them the offering of silver and gold and the articles that the king, his advisers, his officials and all Israel present there had donated for the house of our God. 26 I weighed out to them 650 talents[c] of silver, silver articles weighing 100 talents,[d] 100 talents[e] of gold, 27 20 bowls of gold valued at 1,000 darics,[f] and two fine articles of polished bronze, as precious as gold.

28 I said to them, “You as well as these articles are consecrated to the Lord.(U) The silver and gold are a freewill offering to the Lord, the God of your ancestors. 29 Guard them carefully until you weigh them out in the chambers of the house of the Lord in Jerusalem before the leading priests and the Levites and the family heads of Israel.” 30 Then the priests and Levites received the silver and gold and sacred articles that had been weighed out to be taken to the house of our God in Jerusalem.

31 On the twelfth day of the first month we set out from the Ahava Canal(V) to go to Jerusalem. The hand of our God was on us,(W) and he protected us from enemies and bandits along the way. 32 So we arrived in Jerusalem, where we rested three days.(X)

33 On the fourth day, in the house of our God, we weighed out(Y) the silver and gold and the sacred articles into the hands of Meremoth(Z) son of Uriah, the priest. Eleazar son of Phinehas was with him, and so were the Levites Jozabad(AA) son of Jeshua and Noadiah son of Binnui.(AB) 34 Everything was accounted for by number and weight, and the entire weight was recorded at that time.

35 Then the exiles who had returned from captivity sacrificed burnt offerings to the God of Israel: twelve bulls(AC) for all Israel,(AD) ninety-six rams, seventy-seven male lambs and, as a sin offering,[g] twelve male goats.(AE) All this was a burnt offering to the Lord. 36 They also delivered the king’s orders(AF) to the royal satraps and to the governors of Trans-Euphrates,(AG) who then gave assistance to the people and to the house of God.(AH)

Ezra 8
King James Version

8 These are now the chief of their fathers, and this is the genealogy of them that went up with me from Babylon, in the reign of Artaxerxes the king.

2 Of the sons of Phinehas; Gershom: of the sons of Ithamar; Daniel: of the sons of David; Hattush.

3 Of the sons of Shechaniah, of the sons of Pharosh; Zechariah: and with him were reckoned by genealogy of the males an hundred and fifty.

4 Of the sons of Pahathmoab; Elihoenai the son of Zerahiah, and with him two hundred males.

5 Of the sons of Shechaniah; the son of Jahaziel, and with him three hundred males.

6 Of the sons also of Adin; Ebed the son of Jonathan, and with him fifty males.

7 And of the sons of Elam; Jeshaiah the son of Athaliah, and with him seventy males.

8 And of the sons of Shephatiah; Zebadiah the son of Michael, and with him fourscore males.

9 Of the sons of Joab; Obadiah the son of Jehiel, and with him two hundred and eighteen males.

10 And of the sons of Shelomith; the son of Josiphiah, and with him an hundred and threescore males.

11 And of the sons of Bebai; Zechariah the son of Bebai, and with him twenty and eight males.

12 And of the sons of Azgad; Johanan the son of Hakkatan, and with him an hundred and ten males.

13 And of the last sons of Adonikam, whose names are these, Eliphelet, Jeiel, and Shemaiah, and with them threescore males.

14 Of the sons also of Bigvai; Uthai, and Zabbud, and with them seventy males.

15 And I gathered them together to the river that runneth to Ahava; and there abode we in tents three days: and I viewed the people, and the priests, and found there none of the sons of Levi.

16 Then sent I for Eliezer, for Ariel, for Shemaiah, and for Elnathan, and for Jarib, and for Elnathan, and for Nathan, and for Zechariah, and for Meshullam, chief men; also for Joiarib, and for Elnathan, men of understanding.

17 And I sent them with commandment unto Iddo the chief at the place Casiphia, and I told them what they should say unto Iddo, and to his brethren the Nethinims, at the place Casiphia, that they should bring unto us ministers for the house of our God.

18 And by the good hand of our God upon us they brought us a man of understanding, of the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel; and Sherebiah, with his sons and his brethren, eighteen;

19 And Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah of the sons of Merari, his brethren and their sons, twenty;

20 Also of the Nethinims, whom David and the princes had appointed for the service of the Levites, two hundred and twenty Nethinims: all of them were expressed by name.

21 Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river of Ahava, that we might afflict ourselves before our God, to seek of him a right way for us, and for our little ones, and for all our substance.

22 For I was ashamed to require of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way: because we had spoken unto the king, saying, The hand of our God is upon all them for good that seek him; but his power and his wrath is against all them that forsake him.

23 So we fasted and besought our God for this: and he was intreated of us.

24 Then I separated twelve of the chief of the priests, Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brethren with them,

25 And weighed unto them the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, even the offering of the house of our God, which the king, and his counsellors, and his lords, and all Israel there present, had offered:

26 I even weighed unto their hand six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and silver vessels an hundred talents, and of gold an hundred talents;

27 Also twenty basons of gold, of a thousand drams; and two vessels of fine copper, precious as gold.

28 And I said unto them, Ye are holy unto the Lord; the vessels are holy also; and the silver and the gold are a freewill offering unto the Lord God of your fathers.

29 Watch ye, and keep them, until ye weigh them before the chief of the priests and the Levites, and chief of the fathers of Israel, at Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of the Lord.

30 So took the priests and the Levites the weight of the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, to bring them to Jerusalem unto the house of our God.

31 Then we departed from the river of Ahava on the twelfth day of the first month, to go unto Jerusalem: and the hand of our God was upon us, and he delivered us from the hand of the enemy, and of such as lay in wait by the way.

32 And we came to Jerusalem, and abode there three days.

33 Now on the fourth day was the silver and the gold and the vessels weighed in the house of our God by the hand of Meremoth the son of Uriah the priest; and with him was Eleazar the son of Phinehas; and with them was Jozabad the son of Jeshua, and Noadiah the son of Binnui, Levites;

34 By number and by weight of every one: and all the weight was written at that time.

35 Also the children of those that had been carried away, which were come out of the captivity, offered burnt offerings unto the God of Israel, twelve bullocks for all Israel, ninety and six rams, seventy and seven lambs, twelve he goats for a sin offering: all this was a burnt offering unto the Lord.

36 And they delivered the king's commissions unto the king's lieutenants, and to the governors on this side the river: and they furthered the people, and the house of God.
