1 Esta es la lista de los sacerdotes y levitas que regresaron de Babilonia bajo la dirección de Zorobabel hijo de Salatiel, y con Jesúa: 2 Seraías, Jeremías, Esdras, Amarías, Maluc, Jatús, Secanías, Rejún, Meremot, Idó, Guinetón, Abías, Mijamín, Madías, Bilgá, Semaías, Joyarib, Jedaías, Salú, Amoc, Jilquías y Jedaías. Estos eran los jefes de los sacerdotes y de sus hermanos en los días de Jesúa. 8 Los levitas que fueron con ellos son los siguientes: Jesúa, Binuy, Cadmiel, Serebías, Judá y Matanías, que era el que estaba a cargo del culto de acción de gracias, junto con sus compañeros. 9 Bacbuquías y Uni, del mismo clan, les ayudaban durante el culto. 10 Jesúa fue el padre de Joaquim, y este fue el padre de Eliasib. Eliasib, fue el padre de Joyadá, y este fue el padre de Johanán, y Johanán fue el padre de Jadúa. 12 Los siguientes fueron dirigentes de los clanes de sacerdotes que sirvieron bajo el sumo sacerdote Joaquim: Meraías, jefe del clan de Seraías; Jananías, jefe del clan de Jeremías; Mesulán, jefe del clan de Esdras; Johanán, jefe del clan de Amarías; Jonatán, jefe del clan de Melicú; José, jefe del clan de Sebanías; Adná, jefe del clan de Jarín; Jelcay, jefe del clan de Merayot; Zacarías, jefe del clan de Idó; Mesulán, jefe del clan de Guinetón; Zicrí, jefe del clan de Abías; Piltay, jefe de los clanes de Minjamín y Moadías; Samúa, jefe del clan de Bilgá; Jonatán, jefe del clan de Semaías; Matenay, jefe del clan de Joyarib; Uzi, jefe del clan de Jedaías; Calay, jefe del clan de Salay; Éber, jefe del clan de Amoc; Jasabías, jefe del clan de Jilquías; Natanael, jefe del clan de Jedaías. 22 En los días de Eliasib, Joyadá, Johanán y Jadúa, durante el reinado de Darío, de Persia, se hizo un registro genealógico de los jefes de los clanes sacerdotales y de los levitas. Los nombres de los levitas fueron anotados 23 en el libro de las Crónicas hasta los días de Johanán hijo de Eliasib. 24 Estos son los nombres de los jefes de los levitas: Jasabías, Serebías y Jesúa hijo de Cadmiel. Los hombres de su mismo clan los ayudaban durante las ceremonias de alabanza y acción de gracias, de acuerdo con el mandato dado por David, varón de Dios. 25 Los porteros que custodiaban los almacenes junto a las puertas eran: Matanías, Bacbuquías, Abdías, Mesulán, Talmón y Acub. 26 Estos eran los hombres que estaban en servicio en tiempo de Joaquim hijo de Jesúa y nieto de Josadac, cuando yo era el gobernador, y Esdras era el sacerdote y maestro de la Ley. 27 Próxima ya la dedicación de la nueva muralla de Jerusalén, se pidió a todos los levitas de la tierra que vinieran a Jerusalén a presenciar la ceremonia y a participar en la feliz ocasión con sus acciones de gracias, acompañados de címbalos, salterios y arpas. 28 Los miembros del coro llegaron de los pueblos cercanos a Jerusalén y de las aldeas de Netofa. 29 También vinieron desde Bet Guilgal y de las aldeas de Gueba y Azmávet, porque los cantores habían edificado caseríos en las cercanías de Jerusalén. 30 Los sacerdotes y levitas se purificaron primero; luego purificaron al pueblo, las puertas y la muralla. 31 Hice subir a los jefes de Judá sobre la muralla y los separé en dos líneas, para que dieran gracias, mientras caminaban en direcciones opuestas sobre el muro. El coro que marchó a la derecha, rumbo a la puerta del Basurero, estaba formado por la mitad de los jefes de Judá, 33 incluyendo a Osaías, Azarías, Esdras, Mesulán, 34 Judá, Benjamín, Semaías y Jeremías. 35 Los sacerdotes que tocaban las trompetas eran Zacarías hijo de Jonatán, hijo de Semaías, hijo de Matanías, hijo de Micaías, hijo de Zacur, hijo de Asaf; Semaías, Azarel, Milalay, Guilalay, May, Natanael, Judá, y Jananí (usaban los instrumentos musicales del rey David). El sacerdote Esdras dirigió esta procesión. 37 Cuando llegaron a la puerta de la Fuente, siguieron adelante y subieron las gradas que conducen hasta la Ciudad de David. Luego siguieron por la cuesta de la muralla, pasaron junto al palacio de David, hasta la puerta de las Aguas, en el oriente. 38 El otro grupo, del que yo formaba parte, caminó en el otro sentido para encontrarse con ellos. Caminamos desde la Torre de los Hornos hasta el muro Ancho. 39 Luego pasamos por encima de la puerta de Efraín, por la puerta Vieja, y seguimos por la puerta del Pescado, la torre de Jananel y la torre de los Cien. Luego seguimos adelante hasta la puerta de las Ovejas y nos detuvimos en la puerta de la Cárcel. 40 Ambos coros entonces prosiguieron hasta el templo. A mi lado estaban los sacerdotes que tocaban las trompetas: Eliaquín, Maseías, Minjamín, Micaías, Elihoenay, Zacarías, Jananías, 42 Maseías, Semaías, Eleazar, Uzi, Johanán, Malquías, Elam y Ezer. Luego los cantores empezaron a cantar en alta voz y con claridad, bajo la dirección de Izraías. 43 En aquel día de gozo se ofrecieron muchos sacrificios, porque el Señor les había dado motivos para estar muy gozosos. Las mujeres y los niños también se alegraron, y el regocijo del pueblo de Jerusalén se oía desde lejos. 44 En aquel día se nombraron a las personas que se harían cargo de los tesoros, las ofrendas mecidas, los diezmos y las primicias. Tendrían la tarea de recolectarlas de los campos pertenecientes a las poblaciones, como lo estipulan las leyes de Moisés. Estas ofrendas estaban destinadas a los sacerdotes y levitas, porque el pueblo de Judá los apreciaba mucho por el servicio que ofrecían. 45 Eran ellos los que se ocupaban, con la ayuda de los cantores y porteros, del culto de Dios y de las ceremonias de purificación, conforme a las leyes de David y su hijo Salomón. 46 (Fue en los días de David y de Asaf que comenzó la costumbre de tener directores de coro, y se cantaban himnos de alabanza y acción de gracias a Dios). 47 Así que en los días de Zorobabel y de Nehemías el pueblo traía una provisión diaria de alimento para los miembros del coro, los porteros y los levitas. Los levitas, a su vez, daban una porción de lo que recibían a los sacerdotes descendientes de Aarón.
