for unto them said Nehemiah and Attharias, that they should not be partakers of the holy things, till there arose up a high priest clothed with doctrine and truth.
41
Οἱ δὲ πάντες Ἰσραὴλ ἦσαν ἀπὸ δωδεκαετοῦς καὶ ἐπάνω χωρὶς παίδων καὶ παιδισκῶν, μυριάδες τέσσαρες δισχίλιοι τριακόσιοι ἑξήκοντα.
So of Israel, from them of twelve years old and upward, beside menservants and maidservants, they were all in number forty thousand, two thousand three hundred and sixty.
42

four hundred thirty and five camels, seven thousand thirty and six horses, two hundred forty and five mules, five thousand five hundred twenty and five beasts used to the yoke:
44
Καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἡγουμένων κατὰ τὰς πατριὰς ἐν τῷ παραγίνεσθαι αὐτούς εἰς τὸ ἱερὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ τὸ ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ, ηὔξαντο ἐγεῖραι τὸν οἶκον ἐπὶ τοὺ τοῦ τόπου αὐτοῦ κατὰ τὴν αὐτῶν δύναμιν,
And certain of the chief of their families, when they came to the temple of God that is in Jerusalem, vowed to set up the house again in his own place according to their ability,
45
καὶ δοῦναι εἰς τὸ ἱερὸν γαζοφυλάκιον τῶν ἔργων, χρυσίου μνᾶς χιλίας καὶ ἀργυρίου μνᾶς πεντακισχιλίας, καὶ στολὰς ἱερατικὰς ἑκατόν.
and to give into the holy treasury of the works a thousand pounds of gold, five thousand of silver, and a hundred priestly vestments.
46
Καὶ κατῳκίσθησαν οἱ ἱερεῖς, καὶ οἱ Λευεῖται, καὶ οἱ ἐκ τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ τῇ χώρᾳ, οἵ τε ἱεροψάλται, καὶ οἱ θυρωροὶ, καὶ πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ ἐν ταῖς κώμαις αὐτῶν.
And so dwelt the priests and the Levites and the people in Jerusalem, and in the country, the singers also and the porters; and all Israel in their villages.
47
Ἐνστάντος δὲ τοῦ ἑβδόμον μηνὸς, καὶ ὄντων τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ ἑκάστου ἐν τοῖς ἰδίοις, συνήχθησαν ὁμοθυμαδὸν εἰς τὸ εὐρύχωρον τοῦ πρώτου πυλῶνος τοῦ πρὸς τῇ ἀνατολῇ.
But when the seventh month was at hand, and when the children of Israel were every man in his own place, they came altogether with one consent into the open place of the first gate which is toward the east.
48
Καὶ καταστὰς Ἰησοῦς ὁ τοῦ Ἰωσεδὲκ καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ οἱ ἱερεῖς, καὶ Ζοροβάβελ ὁ τοῦ Σαλαθιὴλ καὶ οἱ τούτου ἀδελφοὶ, ἡτοίμασαν τὸ θυσιαστήριον τοῦ Θεοῦ Ἰσραὴλ,
Then stood up Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and his brethren, and made ready the altar of the God of Israel,
49
προσενέγκαι ἐπʼ αὐτοῦ ὁλοκαυτώσεις, ἀκολούθως τοῖς ἐν τῇ Μωσέως βίβλῳ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου τοῦ Θεοῦ διηγορευμένοις.
to offer burnt sacrifices upon it, according as it is expressly commanded in the book of Moses the man of God.
50
Καὶ ἐπισυνήχθησαν αὐτοῖς ἐκ τῶν ἄλλων ἐθνῶν τῆς γῆς, καὶ κατώρθωσαν τὸ θυσιαστήριον ἐπὶ τοῦ τόπου αὐτῶν, ὅτι ἐν ἔχθρᾳ ἦσαν αὐτοῖς, καὶ κατίσχυσαν αὐτοὺς πάντα τὰ ἔθνη τὰ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς· καὶ ἀνέφερον θυσίας κατὰ τὸν καιρὸν, καὶ ὁλοκαυτώματα Κυρίῳ τὸ πρωϊνὸν καὶ τὸ δειλινόν.
And there were gathered unto them out of the other nations of the land, and they erected the altar upon his own place, because all the nations of the land were at enmity with them, and oppressed them; and they offered sacrifices according to the time, and burnt offerings to the Lord both morning and evening.
51
Καὶ ἐγάγοσαν τὴν τῆς σκηνοπηγίας ἑορτὴν, ὡς ἐπιτέτακται ἐν τῷ νόμῳ, καὶ θυσίας καθʼ ἡμέραν, ὡς προσῆκον ἦν·
Also they held the feast of tabernacles, as it is commanded in the law, and [offered] sacrifices daily, as was meet:
52
καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα προσφορὰς ἐνδελεχισμοῦ, καὶ θυσίας σαββάτων καὶ νουμηνιῶν καὶ ἑορτῶν πασῶν ἡγιασμένων.
and after that, the continual oblations, and the sacrifice of the Sabbaths, and of the new moons, and of all holy feasts.
53
Καὶ ὅσοι ηὔξαντο εὐχὴν τῷ Θεῷ ἀπὸ τῆς νουμηνίας τοῦ ἑβδόμου μηνὸς, ἤρξαντο προσφέρειν θυσίας τῷ Θεῷ, καὶ ὁ ναὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ οὔπω ᾠκοδόμητο.
And all they that had made any vow to God began to offer sacrifices to God from the first day of the seventh month, although the temple of the Lord was not yet built.
54
Καὶ ἔδωκαν ἀργύριον τοῖς λατόμοις καὶ τέκτοσι, καὶ ποτὰ καὶ βρωτὰ,
And they gave unto the masons and carpenters money, meat, and drink, with cheerfulness.
55
καὶ χάῤῥα τοῖς Σιδωνίοις καὶ Τυρίοις εἰς τὸ παράγειν αὐτοὺς ἐκ τοῦ Λιβάνου ξύλα κέδρινα, διαφέρειν σχεδίας εἰς τὸν Ἰόππης λιμένα, κατὰ τὸ πρόσταγμα τὸ γραφὲν αὐτοῖς παρὰ Κύρου τοῦ Περσῶν βασιλέως.
Unto them of Sidon also and Tyre they gave carts, that they should bring cedar trees from Lebanon, which should be brought by floats to the haven of Joppa, according as it was commanded them by Cyrus king of the Persians.
56
Καὶ τῷ δευτέρῳ ἔτει παραγενόμενος εἰς τὸ ἰερὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ εἰς Ἱερονσαλὴμ μηνὸς δευτέρου, ἤρξατο Ζοροβάβελ ὁ τοῦ Σαλαθιὴλ, καὶ Ἰησοῦς ὁ τοῦ Ἰωσεδὲκ, καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτῶν, καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς οἱ Λευῖται, καὶ πάντες οἱ παραγενόμενοι ἐκ τῆς αἰχμαλωσίας εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ,
And in the second year and second month after his coming to the temple of God at Jerusalem began Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and their brethren, and the priests, and the Levites, and all they that were come unto Jerusalem out of the captivity:
57
καὶ ἐθεμελίωσαν τὸν ναὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ τῇ νουμηνίᾳ τοῦ δευτέρου μηνὸς τοῦ δευτέρου ἔτους, ἐν τῷ ἐλθεῖν εἰς τὴν Ἰουδαίαν καὶ Ἱερουσαλήμ.
and they laid the foundation of the house of God in the first day of the second month, in the second year after they were come to Jewry and Jerusalem.
58
Καὶ ἔστησαν τοὺς Λευίτας ἀπὸ εἰκοσαετοῦς ἐπὶ τῶν ἔργων τοῦ Κυρίου· καὶ ἔστη Ἰησοῦς, καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ, καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ, καὶ Καδμιὴλ ὁ ἀδελφὸς, καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Ἠμαδαβοὺν, καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰωδὰ τοῦ Ἡλιαδοὺδ σὺν τοῖς υἱοῖς καὶ ἀδελφοῖς, πάντες οἱ Λευῖται ὁμοθυμαδὸν ἐργοδιῶκται, ποιοῦντες εἰς τὰ ἔργα ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ Κυρίου· καὶ ᾠκοδόμησαν οἱ οἰκοδόμοι τὸν ναὸν τοῦ Κυριου.
And they appointed the Levites from twenty years old over the works of the Lord. Then stood up Jeshua, and his sons and brethren, and Kadmiel his brother, and the sons of Emadabun, with the sons of Joda the son of Iliadun, with their sons and brethren, all Levites, with one accord setters-forward of the business, laboring to advance the works in the house of the Lord. So the builders built the temple of the Lord.
59
Καὶ ἔστησαν οἱ ἱερεῖς ἐστολισμενοι μετὰ μουσικῶν καὶ σαλπίγγων,
And the priests stood arrayed in their vestments with musical instruments and trumpets; and the Levites the sons of Asaph had cymbals,
60
καὶ οἱ Λευῖται υἱοὶ Ἀσὰφ ἔχοντες τὰ κύμβαλα ὑμνοῦντες τῶ Κυρίῳ, καὶ εὐλογοῦντες κατὰ Δαυὶδ βασιλέα τοῦ Ἰσραήλ.
singing songs of thanksgiving, and praising the Lord, according as David the king of Israel had ordained.
61
Καὶ ἐφώνησαν διʼ ὕμνων εὐλογοῦντες τῷ Κυρίῳ, ὅτι ἡ χρηστότης αὐτοῦ καὶ ἡ δόξα εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας ἐν παντὶ Ἰσραήλ.
And they sung [with] loud voices songs to the praise of the Lord, because his mercy and glory is forever in all Israel.
62
Καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἐσάλπισαν καὶ ἐβόησαν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ, ὑμνοῦντες τῷ Κυρίῳ ἐπὶ τῇ ἐγέρσει τοῦ οἴκου Κυρίου.
And all the people sounded trumpets, and shouted with a loud voice, singing songs of thanksgiving unto the Lord for the rearing up of the house of the Lord.
63
Καὶ ἤλθοσαν ἐκ τῶν ἱερεων τῶν Λευιτῶν καὶ τῶν προκαθημένων κατὰ τὰς πατριὰς αὐτῶν, οἱ πρεσβύτεροι οἱ ἑωρακότες τὸν πρὸ τούτου οἶκον, πρὸς τὴν τουτου οἰκοδομὴν μετὰ κλαυθμοῦ καὶ κραυγῆς μεγάλης,
Also of the priests and Levites, and of the chief of their families, the ancients who had seen the former house came to the building of this with weeping and great crying.
64
καὶ πολλοὶ διὰ σαλπιγγων καὶ χαρᾶς μεγάλῃ τῇ φωνῇ,
But many with trumpets and joy shouted with loud voice,
65
ὥστε τὸν λαὸν μὴ ἀκούειν τῶν σαλπίγγων διὰ τὸν κλαυθμὸν τοῦ λαοῦ· ὁ γὰρ ὄχλος ἦν ὁ σαλπίζων μεγάλως, ὥστε μακρόθεν ἀκούεσθαι.
insomuch that the trumpets might not be heard for the weeping of the people; yet the multitude sounded marvelously, so that it was heard afar off.
66
Καὶ ἀκούσαντες οἱ ἑχθροί τῆς φυλῆς Ἰούδα καὶ Βενιαμὶν, ἤλθοσαν ἐπιγνῶναι τίς ἡ φωνὴ τῶν σαλπίγγων.
Wherefore when the enemies of the tribe of Judah and Benjamin heard it, they came to know what the noise of trumpets [should mean].
67
Καὶ ἐπέγνωσαν ὅτι οἱ ἐκ τῆς αἰχμαλωσίας οἰκοδομοῦσι τὸν ναὸν τῷ Κυρίῳ Θεῷ Ἰσραήλ.
And they perceived that they that were of the captivity did build the temple unto the Lord God of Israel.
68
Καὶ προσελθόντες τῷ Ζοροβάβελ, καὶ Ἰησοῦ, καὶ τοῖς ἡγουμένοις τῶν πατριῶν, λέγουσιν αὐτοῖς, συνοικοδομήσωμεν ὑμῖν.
So they went to Zerubbabel and Jeshua, and to the chief of the families, and said unto them, We will build together with you.
69
Ὁμοίως γὰρ ὑμῖν ἀκούομεν τοῦ Κυρίου ὑμῶν, καὶ αὐτῷ ἐπιθύομεν ἀφʼ ἡμερῶν Ἀσβακαφὰς βασιλέως Ἀσσυρίων, ὃς μετήγαγεν ἡμᾶς ἐνταῦθα.
For we likewise, as ye, do obey your Lord, and do sacrifice unto him from the days of Esar-haddon the king of the Assyrians, who brought us hither.
70
Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Ζοροβάβελ καὶ Ἰησοῦς καὶ οἱ ἡγούμενοι τῶν πατριῶν τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ, οὐχ ἡμῖν καὶ ὑμῖν τοῦ οἰκοδομῆσαι τὸν οἶκον Κυρίῳ Θεῷ ἡμῶν.
Then Zerubbabel and Jeshua and the chief of the families of Israel said unto them, It is not for us and you to build together a house unto the Lord our God.
71
Ἡμεῖς γὰρ μόνοι οἰκοδομήσωμεν τῷ Κυρίῳ τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ, ἀκολούθως οἷς προσέταξεν ἡμῖν Κύρος ὁ βασιλεὺς Περσῶν.
We ourselves alone will build unto the Lord of Israel, according as Cyrus the king of the Persians hath commanded us.
72
Τὰ δὲ ἔθνη τῆς γῆς ἐπικοιμώμενα τοῖς ἐν τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ καὶ πολιορκοῦντες, εἶργον τοῦ οἰκοδομεῖν,
But the heathen of the land lying heavy upon the inhabitants of Judea, and holding them strait, hindered their building;
73
καὶ βουλὰς δημαγωγοῦντες, καὶ συστάσεις ποιούμενοι, ἀπεκώλυσαν τοῦ ἀποτελεσθῆναι τὴν οἰκοδομὴν πάντα τὸν χρόνον τῆς ζωῆς τοῦ βασιλέως Κύρου· καὶ εἴρχθησαν τῆς οἰκοδομῆς ἔτη δύο ἕως τῆς Δαρείου βασιλείας.
and by their secret plots, and popular persuasions and commotions, they hindered the finishing of the building all the time that King Cyrus lived: so they were hindered from building for the space of two years, until the reign of Darius.
