1イスラエルの民の系図は、一人もらさず、『イスラエル諸王の年代記』に載っています。
ユダは偶像礼拝の罪のために、バビロンに捕囚として引いて行かれました。
捕囚から帰還後、エルサレムに住んだ人々
2以前住んでいた町へ最初に帰還したのは、イスラエルの諸部族の家族、祭司、レビ人、それに神殿奉仕者でした。
3ユダ、ベニヤミン、エフライム、マナセの各部族に属する家族は、エルサレムに帰りました。
4その中に、ユダの子ペレツ氏族のウタイの家族がいました。ウタイはアミフデの子、順次さかのぼってオムリの子、イムリの子、バニの子。
5シェラ人も帰って来た家族の一つで、シェラの長男アサヤと子孫が含まれていました。 6そのほか、エウエルとその同族六百九十人を含む、ゼラフの子孫もいました。
7-8ベニヤミン族の帰還者の中には次の者がいます。セヌアの子ホダブヤの子メシュラムの子に当たるサル、エロハムの子イブネヤ、ウジの子で、ミクリの孫エラ、シェファテヤの子で、レウレルの孫、イブニヤのひ孫に当たるメシュラ。
9彼らはみな家族の長でした。総勢九百五十六人のベニヤミン人が帰って来たことになります。
10-11帰還した祭司は次のとおり。エダヤ、エホヤリブ、ヤキン、神殿の護衛長のアザルヤ。アザルヤはヒルキヤの子で、順次さかのぼってメシュラムの子、ツァドクの子、メラヨテの子、アヒトブの子。
12祭司ではほかに、エロハムの子で、パシュフルの孫、マルキヤのひ孫に当たるアダヤ。また、アディエルの子マサイ。さらに順次さかのぼると、アディエルはヤフゼラの子、メシュラムの子、メシレミテの子、イメルの子。
13総勢千七百六十人の祭司が帰還しました。
14帰って来たレビ人の中に、シェマヤがいました。このシェマヤは、メラリの子孫ハシャブヤのひ孫、アズリカムの孫、ハシュブの子です。
15-16レビ人ではほかに、次の者がいます。バクバカル、ヘレシュ、ガラル、アサフの子ジクリの子ミカの子マタヌヤ、エドトンの子ガラルの子シェマヤの子オバデヤ、ネトファ人の村に住んでいたエルカナの子アサの子ベレクヤ。
17-18門衛はみなレビ人で、その長のシャルムはじめ、アクブ、タルモン、アヒマンがいました。シャルムは今でも東方にある王の門を守っています。
19シャルムの家系は、順次さかのぼってコレ、エブヤサフ、コラに至ります。彼と親族のコラ人は、いけにえをささげる仕事や、先祖が幕屋の管理と警備に当たっていたように、聖所を守る務めにつきました。 20かつてはエルアザルの子ピネハスが、この務めの長でした。主はピネハスとともにいました。
21当時、メシェレムヤの子ゼカリヤが、幕屋の入口の警備についていました。 22この時、門衛として選ばれた人々は二百十二人です。この人々は、系図をもとに村々から選び出され、誠実さを買われて、ダビデとサムエルによって任命されたのです。 23-24彼らとその子孫は、幕屋の管理と警備のため、東西南北の四方に門衛が立ちました。 25彼らの村の同族の者たちが、一週間交替でそれぞれの仕事に当たりました。
26四人の門衛の長はみなレビ人で、神の宮にある特別な部屋や宝物倉を管理するという、特に重要な任務を与えられました。 27そのため、彼らは宮の近くに住み、毎朝、門を開けました。 28彼らのうちのある者は、いけにえをささげるのに用いる各種の器具の管理に当たり、その出し入れの時、一つ一つ数を調べ、点検しました。 29またある者は、聖所の中にある器具や調度の管理、小麦粉、ぶどう酒、香油、香料などの供給の任に当たりました。 30ほかの祭司たちは、香料と香油を調合しました。
31レビ人で、コラ人シャルムの長男マティテヤは、穀物のささげ物で平たいパンを焼く仕事をしました。
32ケハテ氏族のある者は、安息日ごとに並べ替える特別なパンを用意しました。
33-34歌手たちはみな優秀なレビ人で、エルサレムの宮に住み、四六時中その仕事に当たりました。彼らは特に選ばれた者たちで、ほかの責任はいっさい免除されていました。

1All Israel was listed in the genealogies recorded in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah. They were taken captive to Babylon because of their unfaithfulness.
The People in Jerusalem
2Now the first to resettle on their own property in their own towns were some Israelites, priests, Levites and temple servants.
3Those from Judah, from Benjamin, and from Ephraim and Manasseh who lived in Jerusalem were:
4Uthai son of Ammihud, the son of Omri, the son of Imri, the son of Bani, a descendant of Perez son of Judah.
5Of the Shelanites9:5 See Num. 26:20; Hebrew Shilonites.:
Asaiah the firstborn and his sons.
6Of the Zerahites:
Jeuel.
The people from Judah numbered 690.
7Of the Benjamites:
Sallu son of Meshullam, the son of Hodaviah, the son of Hassenuah;
8Ibneiah son of Jeroham; Elah son of Uzzi, the son of Mikri; and Meshullam son of Shephatiah, the son of Reuel, the son of Ibnijah.
9The people from Benjamin, as listed in their genealogy, numbered 956. All these men were heads of their families.
10Of the priests:
Jedaiah; Jehoiarib; Jakin;
11Azariah son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, the official in charge of the house of God;
12Adaiah son of Jeroham, the son of Pashhur, the son of Malkijah; and Maasai son of Adiel, the son of Jahzerah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Meshillemith, the son of Immer.
13The priests, who were heads of families, numbered 1,760. They were able men, responsible for ministering in the house of God.
14Of the Levites:
Shemaiah son of Hasshub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, a Merarite; 15Bakbakkar, Heresh, Galal and Mattaniah son of Mika, the son of Zikri, the son of Asaph; 16Obadiah son of Shemaiah, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun; and Berekiah son of Asa, the son of Elkanah, who lived in the villages of the Netophathites.
17The gatekeepers:
Shallum, Akkub, Talmon, Ahiman and their fellow Levites, Shallum their chief 18being stationed at the King’s Gate on the east, up to the present time. These were the gatekeepers belonging to the camp of the Levites. 19Shallum 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. 20In earlier times Phinehas son of Eleazar was the official in charge of the gatekeepers, and the Lord was with him. 21Zechariah son of Meshelemiah was the gatekeeper at the entrance to the tent of meeting.
22Altogether, those chosen to be gatekeepers at the thresholds numbered 212. They were registered by genealogy in their villages. The gatekeepers had been assigned to their positions of trust by David and Samuel the seer. 23They and their descendants were in charge of guarding the gates of the house of the Lord—the house called the tent of meeting. 24The gatekeepers were on the four sides: east, west, north and south. 25Their fellow Levites in their villages had to come from time to time and share their duties for seven-day periods. 26But the four principal gatekeepers, who were Levites, were entrusted with the responsibility for the rooms and treasuries in the house of God. 27They would spend the night stationed around the house of God, because they had to guard it; and they had charge of the key for opening it each morning.
28Some 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. 29Others were assigned to take care of the furnishings and all the other articles of the sanctuary, as well as the special flour and wine, and the olive oil, incense and spices. 30But some of the priests took care of mixing the spices. 31A Levite named Mattithiah, the firstborn son of Shallum the Korahite, was entrusted with the responsibility for baking the offering bread. 32Some of the Kohathites, their fellow Levites, were in charge of preparing for every Sabbath the bread set out on the table.
33Those who were musicians, 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.
34All these were heads of Levite families, chiefs as listed in their genealogy, and they lived in Jerusalem.
