1Todos os israelitas foram alistados nas genealogias dos registros históricos dos reis de Israel.
O Povo de Jerusalém
Por sua infidelidade o povo de Judá foi levado prisioneiro para a Babilônia.
2Os primeiros a voltarem às suas propriedades e às suas cidades foram algumas pessoas do povo e alguns sacerdotes, levitas e servidores do templo.
3Os de Judá, de Benjamim e de Efraim e Manassés que se instalaram em Jerusalém foram:
4Utai, filho de Amiúde, neto de Onri, bisneto de Inri e trineto de Bani, um descendente de Perez, filho de Judá.
5Dos descendentes de Selá:
O primogênito Asaías com seus filhos.
6Dos descendentes de Zerá:
Jeuel.
Os de Judá eram 690.
7Dos benjamitas:
Salu, filho de Mesulão, neto de Hodavias e bisneto de Hassenua;
8Ibneias, filho de Jeroão;
Elá, filho de Uzi, filho de Micri;
e Mesulão, filho de Sefatias, filho de Reuel, filho de Ibnias.
9Da tribo de Benjamim, relacionados em sua genealogia, eram 956. Todos esses homens eram chefes de suas famílias.
10Dos sacerdotes:
Jedaías, Jeoiaribe, Jaquim;
11Azarias, filho de Hilquias, neto de Mesulão, bisneto de Zadoque, trineto de Meraiote e tetraneto de Aitube, o líder encarregado do templo de Deus;
12Adaías, filho de Jeroão, neto de Pasur e bisneto de Malquias;
e Masai, filho de Adiel, neto de Jazera, bisneto de Mesulão, trineto de Mesilemite e tetraneto de Imer.
13O número de sacerdotes que eram chefes de famílias era 1.760. Eram homens capazes, e sua responsabilidade era ministrar no templo de Deus.
14Dos levitas:
Semaías, filho de Hassube, neto de Azricão e bisneto de Hasabias, um merarita;
15Baquebacar, Heres, Galal e Matanias, filho de Mica, neto de Zicri e bisneto de Asafe;
16Obadias, filho de Semaías, neto de Galal e bisneto de Jedutum;
e Berequias, filho de Asa e neto de Elcana, que vivia nos povoados dos netofatitas.
17Os guardas das portas eram:
Salum, o chefe, Acube, Talmom, Aimã e os irmãos deles, sendo até hoje 18os guardas da porta do Rei, a leste. Salum era o chefe. Esses eram os guardas das portas, que pertenciam ao acampamento dos levitas.
19Salum, filho de Coré, neto de Ebiasafe e bisneto de Corá e seus parentes, os coreítas, guardas das portas, responsáveis por guardar as entradas da Tenda9.19 Isto é, do templo; também nos versículos 21 e 23., como os seus antepassados tinham sido responsáveis por guardar a entrada da habitação do Senhor.
20Naquela época, Fineias, filho de Eleazar, estivera encarregado dos guardas das portas, e o Senhor estava com ele.
21Zacarias, filho de Meselemias, era o guarda das portas da entrada da Tenda do Encontro.
22A soma total dos escolhidos para serem guardas das portas, registrados nas genealogias dos seus povoados, era de 212.
Eles haviam sido designados para esses postos de confiança por Davi e pelo vidente Samuel. 23Eles e os seus descendentes foram encarregados de vigiar as portas do templo do Senhor, o templo chamado Tenda. 24Os guardas vigiavam as portas nos quatro lados: norte, sul, leste e oeste. 25Seus parentes, residentes em seus povoados, tinham que vir de tempos em tempos e trabalhar com eles por períodos de sete dias. 26Mas os quatro principais guardas das portas, que eram levitas, receberam a responsabilidade de tomar conta das salas e da tesouraria do templo de Deus. 27Eles passavam a noite perto do templo de Deus, pois tinham o dever de vigiá-lo e de abrir as portas todas as manhãs.
28Alguns levitas estavam encarregados dos utensílios utilizados no culto no templo; eles os contavam quando eram retirados e quando eram devolvidos. 29Outros eram responsáveis pelos móveis e por todos os demais utensílios do santuário, bem como pela farinha, pelo vinho, pelo óleo, pelo incenso e pelas especiarias. 30E ainda outros cuidavam da manipulação das especiarias. 31Um levita chamado Matitias, filho mais velho do coreíta Salum, tinha a responsabilidade de assar os pães para as ofertas. 32E entre os coatitas, seus irmãos, alguns estavam encarregados de preparar os pães que eram postos sobre a mesa todo sábado.
33Os cantores, chefes de famílias levitas, permaneciam nas salas do templo e estavam isentos de outros deveres, pois dia e noite se dedicavam à sua própria tarefa.
34Todos esses eram chefes de famílias levitas, alistados como líderes em suas genealogias, e moravam em Jerusalém.

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.
