1Now the leaders of the people settled in Jerusalem. The rest of the people cast lots to bring one out of every ten of them to live in Jerusalem, the holy city, while the remaining nine were to stay in their own towns. 2The people commended all who volunteered to live in Jerusalem.

3These are the provincial leaders who settled in Jerusalem (now some Israelites, priests, Levites, temple servants and descendants of Solomon’s servants lived in the towns of Judah, each on their own property in the various towns, 4while other people from both Judah and Benjamin lived in Jerusalem):

From the descendants of Judah:

Athaiah son of Uzziah, the son of Zechariah, the son of Amariah, the son of Shephatiah, the son of Mahalalel, a descendant of Perez; 5and Maaseiah son of Baruch, the son of Kol-Hozeh, the son of Hazaiah, the son of Adaiah, the son of Joiarib, the son of Zechariah, a descendant of Shelah. 6The descendants of Perez who lived in Jerusalem totaled 468 men of standing.

Sallu son of Meshullam, the son of Joed, the son of Pedaiah, the son of Kolaiah, the son of Maaseiah, the son of Ithiel, the son of Jeshaiah, 8and his followers, Gabbai and Sallai—928 men. 9Joel son of Zikri was their chief officer, and Judah son of Hassenuah was over the New Quarter of the city.

10From the priests:

Jedaiah; the son of Joiarib; Jakin; 11Seraiah 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, 12and their associates, who carried on work for the temple—822 men; Adaiah son of Jeroham, the son of Pelaliah, the son of Amzi, the son of Zechariah, the son of Pashhur, the son of Malkijah, 13and his associates, who were heads of families—242 men; Amashsai son of Azarel, the son of Ahzai, the son of Meshillemoth, the son of Immer, 14and his11:14 Most Septuagint manuscripts; Hebrew their associates, who were men of standing—128. Their chief officer was Zabdiel son of Haggedolim.

15From the Levites:

Shemaiah son of Hasshub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Bunni; 16Shabbethai and Jozabad, two of the heads of the Levites, who had charge of the outside work of the house of God; 17Mattaniah son of Mika, the son of Zabdi, the son of Asaph, the director who led in thanksgiving and prayer; Bakbukiah, second among his associates; and Abda son of Shammua, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun. 18The Levites in the holy city totaled 284.

19The gatekeepers:

Akkub, Talmon and their associates, who kept watch at the gates—172 men.

20The rest of the Israelites, with the priests and Levites, were in all the towns of Judah, each on their ancestral property.

21The temple servants lived on the hill of Ophel, and Ziha and Gishpa were in charge of them.

22The chief officer of the Levites in Jerusalem was Uzzi son of Bani, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Mika. Uzzi was one of Asaph’s descendants, who were the musicians responsible for the service of the house of God. 23The musicians were under the king’s orders, which regulated their daily activity.

24Pethahiah son of Meshezabel, one of the descendants of Zerah son of Judah, was the king’s agent in all affairs relating to the people.

25As for the villages with their fields, some of the people of Judah lived in Kiriath Arba and its surrounding settlements, in Dibon and its settlements, in Jekabzeel and its villages, 26in Jeshua, in Moladah, in Beth Pelet, 27in Hazar Shual, in Beersheba and its settlements, 28in Ziklag, in Mekonah and its settlements, 29in En Rimmon, in Zorah, in Jarmuth, 30Zanoah, Adullam and their villages, in Lachish and its fields, and in Azekah and its settlements.

Neemias 11:1-36

Os novos habitantes de Jerusalém

(1 Cr 9.1-17)

1Os governantes israelitas viviam nessa altura em Jerusalém, a santa cidade de Deus; mas um em cada dez do povo das outras povoações e cidades de Judá e Benjamim aceitou ser escolhido por sorteio para ali viver também. 2O povo elogiou todos os que voluntariamente se ofereceram para residir em Jerusalém.

3Segue-se uma lista dos nomes dos funcionários administrativos que vieram para Jerusalém, ainda que a maioria dos chefes, sacerdotes, levitas, auxiliares do templo e descendentes dos funcionários reais de Salomão continuasse a habitar nas suas casas em várias localidades de Judá. 4Outras pessoas, tanto de Judá como de Benjamim, ficaram a viver em Jerusalém.

Chefes da tribo de Judá:

Ataías, cujos ascendentes eram, sucessivamente, de filho para pai: Uzias, Zacarias, Amarias, Sefatias e Malaliel, descendentes de Perez;

5Maaseias, cujos ascendentes eram: Baruque, Col-Hoze, Hazaías, Adaías, Joiaribe, Zacarias e Silonite.

6Ao todo eram 468 os valentes descendentes de Perez que viviam em Jerusalém.

7Chefes da tribo de Benjamim:

Salu, cujos ascendentes eram Mesulão, Joede, Pedaías, Colaías, Maaseias, Itiel e Jesaías, 8e os 968 descendentes de Gabai e de Salai.

9O seu chefe era Joel, filho de Zicri, assistido por Judá, filho de Hassenua.

10Chefes dos sacerdotes:

Jedaías, filho de Joiaribe, Jaquim,

11Seraías, cuja ascendência era sucessivamente: Hilquias, Mesulão, Zadoque, Meraiote e Aitube, que era o sumo sacerdote. 12-14Ao todo eram 822 os sacerdotes que faziam o serviço no templo sob a liderança destes homens.

Havia também 242 sacerdotes sob as ordens de Adaías, cuja ascendência era:

Jeroão, Pelalias, Amzi, Zacarias, Pasur e Malquias. Havia ainda 128 valentes homens sob as ordens de Amassai, cuja ascendência era:

Azarel, Azai, Mesilemote e Imer; era assistido por Zabdiel, filho de Gedolim.

15Chefes levitas:

Semaías, cuja ascendência era: Hassube, Azricão, Hasabias e Buni;

16Sabetai e Jozabade, que tinham a seu cargo o trabalho fora do templo;

17Matanias, filho de Mica, neto de Zabdi, bisneto de Asafe, era ele quem começava o serviço de oração com agradecimento a Deus;

Baquebuquias e Abda, cuja ascendência era:

Samua, Galal e Jedutun, eram ambos assistentes.

18Ao todo havia 284 levitas em Jerusalém.

19Havia também 172 porteiros, chefiados por Acube, Talmom e outros do seu clã.

20Os outros sacerdotes, levitas e povo viviam nos lugares onde as suas famílias tinham herdado propriedades dos antepassados.

21Contudo, os auxiliares do templo, cujos chefes eram Zia e Gispa, viviam todos em Ofel.

22O supervisor dos levitas em Jerusalém e dos que serviam no templo era Uzi, cujos ascendentes eram: Bani, Hasabias, Matanias e Mica, descendente de Asafe, cujo clã se tornou cantores do tabernáculo. 23Fora nomeado pelo rei que também estabelecera a escala de gratificações devidas aos cantores.

24Petaías, filho de Mesezabel, descendente de Zera, filho de Judá, ocupava-se de todos os assuntos da administração pública.

25Estas são algumas das localidades onde o povo de Judá vivia: Quiriate-Arba, Dibom, Jecabzeel e as povoações ao redor; 26Jesua, Molada, Bete-Palete, 27Hazar-Sual, Berseba e arredores; 28Ziclague, Mecona e as suas aldeias; 29En-Rimom, Zora, Jarmute, 30Zanoa, Adulão e as aldeias ao redor; Laquis, Azeca e lugares e campos em volta. Foi assim que o povo se espalhou de Berseba até ao vale de Ben-Hinom.

31O povo da tribo de Benjamim vivia em Geba, Micmás, Aiá, Betel e aldeias circunvizinhas, 32Anatote, Nobe, Ananias, 33Hazor, Ramá, Gitaim, 34Hadide, Zeboim, Nebalate, 35Lode e Ono, o vale do Artífices.

36Alguns dos levitas que viviam em Judá foram enviados para viver com a tribo de Benjamim.
