以斯拉为圣殿招集利未人
15 我招聚这些人在流入亚哈瓦的河边，我们在那里住了三日。我查看百姓和祭司，见没有利未人在那里，
16 就召首领以利以谢、亚列、示玛雅、以利拿单、雅立、以利拿单、拿单、撒迦利亚、米书兰，又召教习约雅立和以利拿单。
17 我打发他们往迦西斐雅地方去见那里的首领易多，又告诉他们当向易多和他的弟兄尼提宁说什么话，叫他们为我们 SHEN 的殿带使用的人来。
18 蒙我们 SHEN 施恩的手帮助我们，他们在以色列的曾孙、利未的孙子、抹利的后裔中带一个通达人来；还有示利比和他的众子与弟兄共一十八人。
19 又有哈沙比雅，同着他有米拉利的子孙耶筛亚，并他的众子和弟兄共二十人。
20 从前大卫和众首领派尼提宁服事利未人，现在从这尼提宁中也带了二百二十人来，都是按名指定的。

The Return to Jerusalem
15 I assembled them at the canal that flows toward Ahava, and we camped there three days. When I checked among the people and the priests, I found no Levites there.
16 So I summoned Eliezer, Ariel, Shemaiah, Elnathan, Jarib, Elnathan, Nathan, Zechariah and Meshullam, who were leaders, and Joiarib and Elnathan, who were men of learning,
17 and I ordered them to go to Iddo, the leader in Kasiphia. I told them what to say to Iddo and his fellow Levites, the temple servants in Kasiphia, so that they might bring attendants to us for the house of our God.
18 Because the gracious hand of our God was on us, they brought us Sherebiah, a capable man, from the descendants of Mahli son of Levi, the son of Israel, and Sherebiah’s sons and brothers, 18 in all;
19 and Hashabiah, together with Jeshaiah from the descendants of Merari, and his brothers and nephews, 20 in all.
20 They also brought 220 of the temple servants—a body that David and the officials had established to assist the Levites. All were registered by name.
