Neh 12:22 The Levites in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, and Johanan, and Jaddua, were recorded chief of the fathers: also the priests, to the reign of Darius the Persian.

bənê lēwî rā’šê hā’āḇôṯ kəṯûḇîm ‘al-sēp̱er diḇərê hayyāmîm wə‘aḏ-yəmê yôḥānān ben-’eləyāšîḇ

Neh 12:23 The sons of Levi, the chief of the fathers, were written in the book of the chronicles, even until the days of Johanan the son of Eliashib.

wərā’šê haləwiyyim ḥăšaḇəyāh šērēḇəyāh wəyēšûa‘ ben-qaḏəmî’ēl wa’ăḥêhem ləneg̱ədām ləhallēl ləhôḏôṯ bəmiṣəwaṯ dāwîḏ ’îš-hā’ĕlōhîm mišəmār lə‘ummaṯ mišəmār

Neh 12:24 And the chief of the Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua the son of Kadmiel, with their brethren over against them, to praise and to give thanks, according to the commandment of David the man of God, ward over against ward.

mattanəyāh ûḇaqəbuqəyāh ‘ōḇaḏəyāh məšullām ṭaləmôn ‘aqqûḇ šōmərîm šô‘ărîm mišəmār ba’ăsuppê haššə‘ārîm

Neh 12:25 Mattaniah, and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub, were porters keeping the ward at the thresholds of the gates.

’ēlleh bîmê yôyāqîm ben-yēšûa‘ ben-yôṣāḏāq ûḇîmê nəḥeməyāh happeḥāh wə‘ezərā’ hakkōhēn hassôp̱ēr

Neh 12:26 These were in the days of Joiakim the son of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor, and of Ezra the priest, the scribe.

ûḇaḥănukkaṯ ḥômaṯ yərûšālaim biqəšû ’eṯ-haləwiyyim mikkāl-məqômōṯām lahăḇî’ām lîrûšālāim la‘ăśōṯ ḥănukkāh wəśiməḥāh ûḇəṯôḏôṯ ûḇəšîr məṣilətayim nəḇālîm ûḇəḵinnōrôṯ

Neh 12:27 And at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought the Levites out of all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem, to keep the dedication with gladness, both with thanksgivings, and with singing, with cymbals, psalteries, and with harps.

wayyē’āsəp̱û bənê haməšōrərîm ûmin-hakkikkār səḇîḇôṯ yərûšālaim ûmin-ḥaṣərê nəṭōp̱āṯî

Neh 12:28 And the sons of the singers gathered themselves together, both out of the plain country round about Jerusalem, and from the villages of Netophathi;

ûmibbêṯ haggiləgāl ûmiśśəḏôṯ geḇa‘ wə‘azəmāweṯ kî ḥăṣērîm bānû lāhem haməšōrărîm səḇîḇôṯ yərûšālāim

Neh 12:29 Also from the house of Gilgal, and out of the fields of Geba and Azmaveth: for the singers had builded them villages round about Jerusalem.

wayyiṭṭahărû hakkōhănîm wəhaləwiyyim wayəṭahărû ’eṯ-hā‘ām wə’eṯ-haššə‘ārîm wə’eṯ-haḥômāh

Neh 12:30 And the priests and the Levites purified themselves, and purified the people, and the gates, and the wall.

wā’a‘ăleh ’eṯ-śārê yəhûḏāh mē‘al laḥômāh wā’a‘ămîḏāh šətê ṯôḏōṯ gəḏôlōṯ wəṯahăluḵōṯ layyāmîn mē‘al laḥômāh ləša‘ar hā’ašəpōṯ

Neh 12:31 Then I brought up the princes of Judah upon the wall, and appointed two great companies of them that gave thanks, whereof one went on the right hand upon the wall toward the dung gate:

wayyēleḵ ’aḥărêhem hôša‘əyāh waḥăṣî śārê yəhûḏāh

Neh 12:32 And after them went Hoshaiah, and half of the princes of Judah,

wa‘ăzarəyāh ‘ezərā’ ûməšullām

Neh 12:33 And Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam,

yəhûḏāh ûḇinəyāmin ûšəma‘əyāh wəyirəməyāh

Neh 12:34 Judah, and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah,

ûmibbənê hakkōhănîm baḥăṣōṣərôṯ zəḵarəyāh ḇen-yônāṯān ben-šəma‘əyāh ben-mattanəyāh ben-mîḵāyāh ben-zakkûr ben-’āsāp̱

Neh 12:35 And certain of the priests' sons with trumpets; namely, Zechariah the son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Michaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph:

wə’eḥāyw šəma‘əyāh wa‘ăzarə’ēl milălay gilălay mā‘ay nəṯanə’ēl wîhûḏāh ḥănānî biḵəlê-šîr dāwîḏ ’îš hā’ĕlōhîm wə‘ezərā’ hassôp̱ēr lip̱ənêhem

Neh 12:36 And his brethren, Shemaiah, and Azarael, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethaneel, and Judah, Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God, and Ezra the scribe before them.

wə‘al ša‘ar hā‘ayin wəneg̱ədām ‘ālû ‘al-ma‘ălôṯ ‘îr dāwîḏ bamma‘ăleh laḥômāh mē‘al ləḇêṯ dāwîḏ wə‘aḏ ša‘ar hammayim mizərāḥ

Neh 12:37 And at the fountain gate, which was over against them, they went up by the stairs of the city of David, at the going up of the wall, above the house of David, even unto the water gate eastward.

wəhattôḏāh haššēnîṯ hahôleḵeṯ ləmô’l wa’ănî ’aḥăreyhā waḥăṣî hā‘ām mē‘al ləhaḥômāh mē‘al ləmig̱ədal hattannûrîm wə‘aḏ haḥômāh hārəḥāḇāh

Neh 12:38 And the other company of them that gave thanks went over against them, and I after them, and the half of the people upon the wall, from beyond the tower of the furnaces even unto the broad wall;

ûmē‘al ləša‘ar-’ep̱ərayim wə‘al-ša‘ar hayəšānāh wə‘al-ša‘ar haddāg̱îm ûmig̱ədal ḥănanə’ēl ûmig̱ədal hammē’āh wə‘aḏ ša‘ar haṣṣō’n wə‘āməḏû bəša‘ar hammaṭṭārāh

Neh 12:39 And from above the gate of Ephraim, and above the old gate, and above the fish gate, and the tower of Hananeel, and the tower of Meah, even unto the sheep gate: and they stood still in the prison gate.

watta‘ămōḏənāh šətê hattôḏōṯ bəḇêṯ hā’ĕlōhîm wa’ănî waḥăṣî hassəg̱ānîm ‘immî

Neh 12:40 So stood the two companies of them that gave thanks in the house of God, and I, and the half of the rulers with me:

wəhakkōhănîm ’eləyāqîm ma‘ăśêāh minəyāmîn mîḵāyāh ’eləyô‘ênay zəḵarəyāh ḥănanəyāh baḥăṣōṣərôṯ

Neh 12:41 And the priests; Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Michaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with trumpets;

ûma‘ăśêāh ûšəma‘əyāh wə’elə‘āzār wə‘uzzî wîhôḥānān ûmaləkiyyāh wə‘êlām wā‘āzer wayyašəmî‘û haməšōrərîm wəyizəraḥəyāh happāqîḏ

Neh 12:42 And Maaseiah, and Shemaiah, and Eleazar, and Uzzi, and Jehohanan, and Malchijah, and Elam, and Ezer. And the singers sang loud, with Jezrahiah their overseer.

wayyizəbəḥû ḇayyôm-hahû’ zəḇāḥîm gəḏôlîm wayyiśəmāḥû kî hā’ĕlōhîm śimməḥām śiməḥāh g̱əḏôlāh wəg̱am hannāšîm wəhayəlāḏîm śāmēḥû wattiššāma‘ śiməḥaṯ yərûšālaim mērāḥôq

Neh 12:43 Also that day they offered great sacrifices, and rejoiced: for God had made them rejoice with great joy: the wives also and the children rejoiced: so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard even afar off.

wayyippāqəḏû ḇayyôm hahû’ ’ănāšîm ‘al-hannəšāḵôṯ lā’ôṣārôṯ lattərûmôṯ lārē’šîṯ wəlamma‘aśərôṯ liḵənôs bāhem liśəḏê he‘ārîm mənā’ôṯ hattôrāh lakkōhănîm wəlaləwiyyim kî śiməḥaṯ yəhûḏāh ‘al-hakkōhănîm wə‘al-haləwiyyim hā‘ōməḏîm

Neh 12:44 And at that time were some appointed over the chambers for the treasures, for the offerings, for the firstfruits, and for the tithes, to gather into them out of the fields of the cities the portions of the law for the priests and Levites: for Judah rejoiced for the priests and for the Levites that waited.

wayyišəmərû mišəmereṯ ’ĕlōhêhem ûmišəmereṯ haṭṭāhŏrāh wəhaməšōrərîm wəhaššō‘ărîm kəmiṣəwaṯ dāwîḏ šəlōmōh ḇənô

Neh 12:45 And both the singers and the porters kept the ward of their God, and the ward of the purification, according to the commandment of David, and of Solomon his son.

kî-ḇîmê ḏāwîḏ wə’āsāp̱ miqqeḏem rā’šê haməšōrərîm wəšîr-təhillāh wəhōḏôṯ lē’lōhîm

Neh 12:46 For in the days of David and Asaph of old there were chief of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving unto God.

wəḵāl-yiśərā’ēl bîmê zərubbāḇel ûḇîmê nəḥeməyāh nōṯənîm mənāyôṯ haməšōrərîm wəhaššō‘ărîm dəḇar-yôm bəyômô ûmaqədišîm laləwiyyim wəhaləwiyyim maqədišîm liḇənê ’ahărōn

Neh 12:47 And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah, gave the portions of the singers and the porters, every day his portion: and they sanctified holy things unto the Levites; and the Levites sanctified them unto the children of Aaron.
