| Au temps d`Éliaschib, de Jojada, de Jochanan et de Jaddua, les Lévites, chefs de familles, et les sacrificateurs, furent inscrits, sous le règne de Darius, le Perse. | The Levites in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, and Johanan, and Jaddua, were listed as heads of families; and the priests, when Darius the Persian was king. |
| Les fils de Lévi, chefs de familles, furent inscrits dans le livre des Chroniques jusqu`au temps de Jochanan, fils d`Éliaschib. | The sons of Levi, heads of families, were recorded in the book of the histories, even till the days of Johanan, the son of Eliashib. |
| Les chefs des Lévites, Haschabia, Schérébia, et Josué, fils de Kadmiel, et leurs frères avec eux, les uns vis-à-vis des autres, étaient chargés de célébrer et de louer l`Éternel, selon l`ordre de David, homme de Dieu. | And the chiefs of the Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua, the son of Kadmiel, with their brothers opposite them, to give blessing and praise as ordered by David, the man of God, watch against watch. |
| Matthania, Bakbukia, Abdias, Meschullam, Thalmon et Akkub, portiers, faisaient la garde aux seuils des portes. | Mattaniah, and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub, were door-keepers keeping the watch at the store-houses of the doors. |
| Ils vivaient au temps de Jojakim, fils de Josué, fils de Jotsadak, et au temps de Néhémie, le gouverneur, et d`Esdras, le sacrificateur et le scribe. | These were in the days of Joiakim, the son of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the ruler and of Ezra the priest, the scribe. |
| Lors de la dédicace des murailles de Jérusalem, on appela les Lévites de tous les lieux qu`ils habitaient et on les fit venir à Jérusalem, afin de célébrer la dédicace et la fête par des louanges et par des chants, au son des cymbales, des luths et des harpes. | And when the time came for the wall of Jerusalem to be made holy, they sent for the Levites out of all their places to come to Jerusalem, to keep the feast with joy, and with praise and melody, with brass and corded instruments of music. |
| Les fils des chantres se rassemblèrent des environs de Jérusalem, des villages des Nethophatiens, | And the sons of the music-makers came together from the lowland round about Jerusalem and from the daughter-towns of the Netophathites, |
| de Beth Guilgal, et du territoire de Guéba et d`Azmaveth; car les chantres s`étaient bâti des villages aux alentours de Jérusalem. | And from Beth-gilgal and from the fields of Geba and Azmaveth: for the music-makers had made daughter-towns for themselves round about Jerusalem. |
| Les sacrificateurs et les Lévites se purifièrent, et ils purifièrent le peuple, les portes et la muraille. | And the priests and the Levites made themselves clean; and they made the people clean, and the doorways and the wall. |
| Je fis monter sur la muraille les chefs de Juda, et je formai deux grands choeurs. Le premier se mit en marche du côté droit sur la muraille, vers la porte du fumier. | Then I made the rulers of Judah come up on the wall, and I put in position two great bands of them who gave praise, walking in ordered lines; one went to the right on the wall, in the direction of the doorway where the waste was put; |
| Derrière ce choeur marchaient Hosée et la moitié des chefs de Juda, | And after them went Hoshaiah and half of the rulers of Judah, |
| Azaria, Esdras, Meschullam, | And Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam, |
| Juda, Benjamin, Schemaeja et Jérémie, | Judah and Benjamin and Shemaiah and Jeremiah, |
| des fils de sacrificateurs avec des trompettes, Zacharie, fils de Jonathan, fils de Schemaeja, fils de Matthania, fils de Michée, fils de Zaccur, fils d`Asaph, | And certain of the priests' sons with wind instruments; Zechariah, the son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Micaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph, |
| et ses frères, Schemaeja, Azareel, Milalaï, Guilalaï, Maaï, Nethaneel, Juda et Hanani, avec les instruments de musique de David, homme de Dieu. Esdras, le scribe, était à leur tête. | And his brothers, Shemaiah, and Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel and Judah, Hanani, with the music-instruments of David, the man of God; and Ezra the scribe was at their head; |
| A la porte de la source, ils montèrent vis-à-vis d`eux les degrés de la cité de David par la montée de la muraille, au-dessus de la maison de David, jusqu`à la porte des eaux, vers l`orient. | And by the doorway of the fountain and straight in front of them, they went up by the steps of the town of David, at the slope up of the wall, over the house of David, as far as the water-doorway to the east. |
| Le second choeur se mit en marche à l`opposite. J`étais derrière lui avec l`autre moitié du peuple, sur la muraille. Passant au-dessus de la tour des fours, on alla jusqu`à la muraille large; | And the other band of those who gave praise went to the left, and I went after them with half the people, on the wall, over the tower of the ovens, as far as the wide wall; |
| puis au-dessus de la porte d`Éphraïm, de la vieille porte, de la porte des poissons, de la tour de Hananeel et de la tour de Méa, jusqu`à la porte des brebis. Et l`on s`arrêta à la porte de la prison. | And over the doorway of Ephraim and by the old door and the fish door and the tower of Hananel and the tower of Hammeah, as far as the sheep door: and at the doorway of the watchmen they came to a stop. |
| Les deux choeurs s`arrêtèrent dans la maison de Dieu; et nous fîmes de même, moi et les magistrats qui étaient avec moi, | So the two bands of those who gave praise took up their positions in the house of God, and I and half of the chiefs with me: |
| et les sacrificateurs Éliakim, Maaséja, Minjamin, Michée, Eljoénaï, Zacharie, Hanania, avec des trompettes, | And the priests; Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with wind instruments; |
| et Maaséja, Schemaeja, Éléazar, Uzzi, Jochanan, Malkija, Élam et Ézer. Les chantres se firent entendre, dirigés par Jizrachja. | And Maaseiah and Shemaiah and Eleazar and Uzzi and Jehohanan and Malchijah and Elam and Ezer. And the makers of melody made their voices loud, with Jezrahiah their overseer. |
| On offrit ce jour-là de nombreux sacrifices, et on se livra aux réjouissances, car Dieu avait donné au peuple un grand sujet de joie. Les femmes et les enfants se réjouirent aussi, et les cris de joie de Jérusalem furent entendus au loin. | And on that day they made great offerings and were glad; for God had made them glad with great joy; and the women and the children were glad with them: so that the joy of Jerusalem came to the ears of those who were far off. |
| En ce jour, on établit des hommes ayant la surveillance des chambres qui servaient de magasins pour les offrandes, les prémices et les dîmes, et on les chargea d`y recueillir du territoire des villes les portions assignées par la loi aux sacrificateurs et aux Lévites. Car Juda se réjouissait de ce que les sacrificateurs et les Lévites étaient à leur poste, | And on that day certain men were put over the rooms where the things which had been given were stored, for the lifted offerings and the first-fruits and the tenths, and to take into them the amounts, from the fields of every town, fixed by the law for the priests and the Levites: for Judah was glad on account of the priests and the Levites who were in their places. |
| observant tout ce qui concernait le service de Dieu et des purifications. Les chantres et les portiers remplissaient aussi leurs fonctions, selon l`ordre de David et de Salomon, son fils; | And they kept the watch of their God, and were responsible for making things clean, and so did the music-makers and the door-keepers, as it was ordered by David and Solomon his son. |
| car autrefois, du temps de David et d`Asaph, il y avait des chefs de chantres et des chants de louanges et d`actions de grâces en l`honneur de Dieu. | For in the days of David and Asaph in the past, there was a master of the music, and songs of blessing and praise to God. |
| Tout Israël, au temps de Zorobabel et de Néhémie, donna les portions des chantres et des portiers, jour par jour; on donna aux Lévites les choses consacrées, et les Lévites donnèrent aux fils d`Aaron les choses consacrées. | And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel and in the days of Nehemiah gave what was needed by the music-makers and the door-keepers day by day: and they made the offerings holy for the Levites; and the Levites did the same for the sons of Aaron. |
