12 Dyma hefyd yr offeiriaid a’r Lefiaid, y rhai a ddaethant i fyny gyda Sorobabel mab Salathiel, a Jesua: sef Seraia, Jeremeia, Esra, 2 Amareia, Maluch, Hattus, 3 Sechaneia, Rehum, Meremoth, 4 Ido, Ginnetho, Abeia, 5 Miamin, Maadia, Bilga, 6 Semaia, a Joiarib, Jedaia, 7 Salu, Amoc, Hilceia, Jedaia: dyma benaethiaid yr offeiriaid a’u brodyr yn nyddiau Jesua. 8 A’r Lefiaid: Jesua, Binnui, Cadmiel, Serebeia, Jwda; a Mataneia oedd ar y gerdd, efe a’i frodyr. 9 Bacbuceia hefyd ac Unni, eu brodyr hwynt, oedd ar eu cyfer yn y gwyliadwriaethau.

10 A Jesua a genhedlodd Joiacim, a Joiacim a genhedlodd Eliasib, ac Eliasib a genhedlodd Joiada, 11 A Joiada a genhedlodd Jonathan, a Jonathan a genhedlodd Jadua. 12 Ac yn nyddiau Joiacim, yr offeiriaid hyn oedd bennau‐cenedl: o Seraia, Meraia; o Jeremeia, Hananei; 13 O Esra, Mesulam; o Amareia Jehohanan; 14 O Melichu, Jonathan; o Sebaneia, Joseff; 15 O Harim, Adna; o Meraioth, Helcai; 16 O Ido, Sechareia; o Ginnethon, Mesulam; 17 O Abeia, Sichri; o Miniamin, o Moadeia, Piltai; 18 O Bilga, Sammua; o Semaia, Jehonathan; 19 Ac o Joiarib, Matenai; o Jedaia, Ussi; 20 O Salai, Calai; o Amoc, Eber; 21 O Hilceia, Hasabeia: o Jedaia, Nethaneel.

22 Y Lefiaid yn nyddiau Eliasib, Joiada, a Johanan, a Jadua, oedd wedi eu hysgrifennu yn bennau‐cenedl: a’r offeiriaid, hyd deyrnasiad Dareius y Persiad. 23 Meibion Lefi, y pennau‐cenedl, wedi eu hysgrifennu yn llyfr y croniclau, hyd ddyddiau Johanan mab Eliasib. 24 A phenaethiaid y Lefiaid, oedd Hasabeia, Serebeia, a Jesua mab Cadmiel, a’u brodyr ar eu cyfer, i ogoneddu ac i foliannu, yn ôl gorchymyn Dafydd gŵr Duw, gwyliadwriaeth ar gyfer gwyliadwriaeth. 25 Mataneia, a Bacbuceia, Obadeia, Mesulam, Talmon, Accub, oedd borthorion, yn cadw gwyliadwriaeth wrth drothwyau y pyrth. 26 Y rhai hyn oedd yn nyddiau Joiacim mab Jesua, fab Josadac, ac yn nyddiau Nehemeia y tywysog, ac Esra yr offeiriad a’r ysgrifennydd.

27 Ac yng nghysegriad mur Jerwsalem y ceisiasant y Lefiaid o’u holl leoedd, i’w dwyn i Jerwsalem, i wneuthur y cysegriad â gorfoledd, mewn diolchgarwch, ac mewn cân, â symbalau, nablau, ac â thelynau. 28 A meibion y cantorion a ymgynullasant o’r gwastadedd o amgylch i Jerwsalem, ac o drefydd Netoffathi, 29 Ac o dŷ Gilgal, ac o feysydd Geba ac Asmafeth: canys y cantorion a adeiladasent bentrefi iddynt o amgylch Jerwsalem. 30 Yr offeiriaid hefyd a’r Lefiaid a ymlanhasant; glanhasant hefyd y bobl, a’r pyrth, a’r mur. 31 A mi a berais i dywysogion Jwda ddringo ar y mur; a gosodais ddwy fintai fawr o rai yn moliannu; a mynediad y naill oedd ar y llaw ddeau ar y mur tua phorth y dom: 32 Ac ar eu hôl hwynt yr aeth Hosaia, a hanner tywysogion Jwda, 33 Asareia hefyd, Esra, a Mesulam, 34 Jwda, a Benjamin, a Semaia, a Jeremeia, 35 Ac o feibion yr offeiriaid ag utgyrn, Sechareia mab Jonathan, fab Semaia, fab Mataneia, fab Michaia, fab Saccur, fab Asaff; 36 A’i frodyr ef, Semaia, ac Asarael, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethaneel, a Jwda, Hanani, ag offer cerdd Dafydd gŵr Duw, ac Esra yr ysgrifennydd o’u blaen hwynt. 37 Ac wrth borth y ffynnon, yr hon oedd ar eu cyfer hwynt, y dringasant ar risiau dinas Dafydd yn nringfa y mur, oddi ar dŷ Dafydd, hyd borth y dwfr tua’r dwyrain. 38 A’r ail fintai o’r rhai oedd yn moliannu, oedd yn myned ar eu cyfer hwynt, a minnau ar eu hôl; a hanner y bobl oedd ar y mur, oddi ar dŵr y ffyrnau, hyd y mur llydan; 39 Ac oddi ar borth Effraim, ac oddi ar yr hen borth, ac oddi ar borth y pysgod, a thŵr Hananeel, a thŵr Mea, hyd borth y defaid; a hwy a safasant ym mhorth yr wyliadwriaeth. 40 Felly y ddwy fintai, y rhai oedd yn moliannu, a safasant yn nhŷ Dduw, a minnau, a hanner y swyddogion gyda mi: 41 Yr offeiriaid hefyd; Eliacim, Maaseia, Miniamin, Michaia, Elioenai, Sechareia, Hananeia, ag utgyrn: 42 Maaseia hefyd, a Semaia, ac Eleasar, ac Ussi, a Jehohanan, a Malcheia, ac Elam, ac Esra. A’r cantorion a ganasant yn groch, a Jasraheia eu blaenor. 43 A’r diwrnod hwnnw yr aberthasant ebyrth mawrion, ac y llawenhasant: canys Duw a’u llawenychasai hwynt â llawenydd mawr: y gwragedd hefyd a’r plant a orfoleddasant: fel y clybuwyd llawenydd Jerwsalem hyd ymhell.

44 A’r dwthwn hwnnw y gosodwyd gwŷr ar gelloedd y trysorau, ar yr offrymau, ar y blaenffrwyth, ac ar y degymau, i gasglu iddynt hwy o feysydd y dinasoedd y rhannau cyfreithlon i’r offeiriaid a’r Lefiaid: canys llawenydd Jwda oedd ar yr offeiriaid ac ar y Lefiaid y rhai oedd yn sefyll yno. 45 Y cantorion hefyd a’r porthorion a gadwasant wyliadwriaeth eu Duw, a gwyliadwriaeth y glanhad, yn ôl gorchymyn Dafydd, a Solomon ei fab. 46 Canys gynt, yn nyddiau Dafydd ac Asaff, yr oedd y pen‐cantorion, a chaniadau canmoliaeth a moliant i Dduw. 47 Ac yn nyddiau Sorobabel, ac yn nyddiau Nehemeia, holl Israel oedd yn rhoddi rhannau i’r cantorion, a’r porthorion, dogn dydd yn ei ddydd: a hwy a gysegrasant bethau sanctaidd i’r Lefiaid; a’r Lefiaid a’u cysegrasant i feibion Aaron.

Nehemiah 12
New International Version

Priests and Levites

12 These were the priests(A) and Levites(B) who returned with Zerubbabel(C) son of Shealtiel(D) and with Joshua:(E)

Seraiah,(F) Jeremiah, Ezra,

2 Amariah, Malluk, Hattush,

3 Shekaniah, Rehum, Meremoth,

4 Iddo,(G) Ginnethon,[a] Abijah,(H)

5 Mijamin,[b] Moadiah, Bilgah,

6 Shemaiah, Joiarib, Jedaiah,(I)

7 Sallu, Amok, Hilkiah and Jedaiah.

These were the leaders of the priests and their associates in the days of Joshua.

8 The Levites were Jeshua,(J) Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, and also Mattaniah,(K) who, together with his associates, was in charge of the songs of thanksgiving. 9 Bakbukiah and Unni, their associates, stood opposite them in the services.

10 Joshua was the father of Joiakim, Joiakim the father of Eliashib,(L) Eliashib the father of Joiada, 11 Joiada the father of Jonathan, and Jonathan the father of Jaddua.

12 In the days of Joiakim, these were the heads of the priestly families:

of Seraiah’s family, Meraiah;

of Jeremiah’s, Hananiah;

13 of Ezra’s, Meshullam;

of Amariah’s, Jehohanan;

14 of Malluk’s, Jonathan;

of Shekaniah’s,[c] Joseph;

15 of Harim’s, Adna;

of Meremoth’s,[d] Helkai;

16 of Iddo’s,(M) Zechariah;

of Ginnethon’s, Meshullam;

17 of Abijah’s,(N) Zikri;

of Miniamin’s and of Moadiah’s, Piltai;

18 of Bilgah’s, Shammua;

of Shemaiah’s, Jehonathan;

19 of Joiarib’s, Mattenai;

of Jedaiah’s, Uzzi;

20 of Sallu’s, Kallai;

of Amok’s, Eber;

21 of Hilkiah’s, Hashabiah;

of Jedaiah’s, Nethanel.

22 The family heads of the Levites in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, Johanan and Jaddua, as well as those of the priests, were recorded in the reign of Darius the Persian. 23 The family heads among the descendants of Levi up to the time of Johanan son of Eliashib were recorded in the book of the annals. 24 And the leaders of the Levites(O) were Hashabiah, Sherebiah, Jeshua son of Kadmiel, and their associates, who stood opposite them to give praise and thanksgiving, one section responding to the other, as prescribed by David the man of God.(P)

25 Mattaniah, Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon and Akkub were gatekeepers who guarded the storerooms at the gates. 26 They served in the days of Joiakim son of Joshua, the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor and of Ezra the priest, the teacher of the Law.

Dedication of the Wall of Jerusalem

27 At the dedication(Q) of the wall of Jerusalem, the Levites were sought out from where they lived and were brought to Jerusalem to celebrate joyfully the dedication with songs of thanksgiving and with the music of cymbals,(R) harps and lyres.(S) 28 The musicians also were brought together from the region around Jerusalem—from the villages of the Netophathites,(T) 29 from Beth Gilgal, and from the area of Geba and Azmaveth, for the musicians had built villages for themselves around Jerusalem. 30 When the priests and Levites had purified themselves ceremonially, they purified the people,(U) the gates and the wall.

31 I had the leaders of Judah go up on top of[e] the wall. I also assigned two large choirs to give thanks. One was to proceed on top of[f] the wall to the right, toward the Dung Gate.(V) 32 Hoshaiah and half the leaders of Judah followed them, 33 along with Azariah, Ezra, Meshullam, 34 Judah, Benjamin,(W) Shemaiah, Jeremiah, 35 as well as some priests with trumpets,(X) and also Zechariah son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Micaiah, the son of Zakkur, the son of Asaph, 36 and his associates—Shemaiah, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, Judah and Hanani—with musical instruments(Y) prescribed by David the man of God.(Z) Ezra(AA) the teacher of the Law led the procession. 37 At the Fountain Gate(AB) they continued directly up the steps of the City of David on the ascent to the wall and passed above the site of David’s palace to the Water Gate(AC) on the east.

38 The second choir proceeded in the opposite direction. I followed them on top of[g] the wall, together with half the people—past the Tower of the Ovens(AD) to the Broad Wall,(AE) 39 over the Gate of Ephraim,(AF) the Jeshanah[h] Gate,(AG) the Fish Gate,(AH) the Tower of Hananel(AI) and the Tower of the Hundred,(AJ) as far as the Sheep Gate.(AK) At the Gate of the Guard they stopped.

40 The two choirs that gave thanks then took their places in the house of God; so did I, together with half the officials, 41 as well as the priests—Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah and Hananiah with their trumpets— 42 and also Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malkijah, Elam and Ezer. The choirs sang under the direction of Jezrahiah. 43 And on that day they offered great sacrifices, rejoicing because God had given them great joy. The women and children also rejoiced. The sound of rejoicing in Jerusalem could be heard far away.

44 At that time men were appointed to be in charge of the storerooms(AL) for the contributions, firstfruits and tithes.(AM) From the fields around the towns they were to bring into the storerooms the portions required by the Law for the priests and the Levites, for Judah was pleased with the ministering priests and Levites.(AN) 45 They performed the service of their God and the service of purification, as did also the musicians and gatekeepers, according to the commands of David(AO) and his son Solomon.(AP) 46 For long ago, in the days of David and Asaph,(AQ) there had been directors for the musicians and for the songs of praise(AR) and thanksgiving to God. 47 So in the days of Zerubbabel and of Nehemiah, all Israel contributed the daily portions for the musicians and the gatekeepers. They also set aside the portion for the other Levites, and the Levites set aside the portion for the descendants of Aaron.(AS)
