Mattaniah, and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub, [were] porters keeping the ward at the threshholds of the gates.

26 Ti su živjeli u vrijeme Jojakima, sina Ješue, sina Josadakova, i u vrijeme upravitelja Nehemije i književnika svećenika Ezre.

These [were] in the days of Joiakim the son of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor, and of Ezra the priest, the scribe.

27 Kad je bila posveta jeruzalemskoga zida, potražili su levite svugdje gdje su stanovali da ih dovedu u Jeruzalem te proslave posvetu radošću, zahvalnicama i pjesmom uz cimbale, harfe i citre.

And at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought the Levites out of all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem, to keep the dedication with gladness, both with thanksgivings, and with singing, [with] cymbals, psalteries, and with harps.

28 I skupiše se pjevači, sinovi Levijevi, iz kraja oko Jeruzalema, iz netofatskih sela,

And the sons of the singers assembled, both out of the plain country around Jerusalem, and from the villages of Netophathi;

29 iz Bet Hagilgala, iz Gebe i polja Azmaveta: jer su pjevači sebi sagradili sela oko Jeruzalema.

Also from the house of Gilgal, and from the fields of Geba and Azmaveth: for the singers had built them villages around Jerusalem.

30 Svećenici i leviti očistili su sebe, a zatim su očistili narod, vrata i zid.

And the priests and the Levites purified themselves, and purified the people, and the gates, and the wall.

31 Tada sam izveo judejske knezove na zid i sastavio dva velika zbora. Prvi je išao desno niza zid, prema Smetlišnim vratima;

Then I brought up the princes of Judah upon the wall, and appointed two great [companies of them that gave] thanks, [of which one] went on the right hand upon the wall towards the dung-gate:

32 za njima su išli Hošaja i polovina judejskih knezova -

And after them went Hoshaiah, and half of the princes of Judah,

33 Azarja, Ezra i Mešulam,

And Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam,

34 Juda, Benjamin, Šemaja i Jeremija,

Judah, and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah,

35 a od svećeničkih sinova s trubljama: Zaharija, sin Jonatana, sina Šemaje, sina Matanije, sina Mikaje, sina Zakura, sina Asafa,

And [certain] of the priests' sons with trumpets; [namely], Zechariah the son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Michaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph:

36 s braćom njihovom Šemajom, Azarelom, Milalajem, Gilalajem, Maajem, Netanelom, Judom, Hananijem, s glazbalima Davida, Božjega čovjeka. A Ezra, književnik, išao je pred njima.

And his brethren, Shemaiah, and Azarael, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethaneel, and Judah, Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God, and Ezra the scribe before them.

37 Kod Izvorskih vrata popeli su se njima nasuprot kraj stepenica Davidova grada, zidnim usponom od Davidove palače sve do Vodenih vrata na istoku.

And at the fountain-gate, which was over against them, they went up by the stairs of the city of David, at the ascent of the wall, above the house of David, even to the water-gate eastward.

38 Drugi zbor, a za njim ja i polovica narodnih knezova, išao je nalijevo zidom i Pećkom kulom sve do Tržnog zida,

And the other [company of them that gave] thanks went over against [them], and I after them, and the half of the people upon the wall, from beyond the tower of the furnaces even to the broad wall;

39 pa onda iznad Efrajimovih vrata, Starih vrata, Ribljih vrata, Hananelove kule, kule Meaha, sve do Ovčjih vrata. Zaustavili su se kod Zatvorskih vrata.

And from above the gate of Ephraim, and above the old gate, and above the fish-gate, and the tower of Hananeel, and the tower of Meah, even to the sheep-gate: and they stood still in the prison-gate.

40 Potom su oba zbora zauzela mjesto u Domu Božjem. Tako i ja i sa mnom polovica odličnika,

So stood the two [companies of them that gave] thanks in the house of God, and I, and the half of the rulers with me:

41 svećenici Elijakim, Maaseja, Minjamin, Mikaja, Elijoenaj, Zaharija, Hananija s trubama,

And the priests; Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Michaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, [and] Hananiah, with trumpets;

42 zatim Maaseja, Šemaja, Eleazar, Uzi, Johanan, Malkija, Elam i Ezer. Pjevači su pjevali pod ravnanjem Jizrahjinim.

And Maaseiah, and Shemaiah, and Eleazar, and Uzzi, and Jehohanan, and Malchijah, and Elam, and Ezer. And the singers sang loud, with Jezrahiah [their] overseer.

43 Toga su dana prinesene velike žrtve, ljudi su dali oduška radosti, jer ih je Bog ispunio velikom radošću, veselile se i žene i djeca. I radost Jeruzalema čula se nadaleko.

Also that day they offered great sacrifices, and rejoiced: for God had made them rejoice with great joy: the wives also and the children rejoiced: so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard even afar off.

44 U to su vrijeme postavljeni ljudi da nadziru spremišta prinosa, prvina, desetina i da s polja uz gradove sabiru dijelove koje Zakon dodjeljuje svećenicima i levitima. Jer su se Judejci radovali svećenicima i levitima koji su bili u službi.

And at that time were some appointed over the chambers for the treasures, for the offerings, for the first-fruits, and for the tithes, to gather into them out of the fields of the cities the portions of the law for the priests and Levites: for Judah rejoiced for the priests and for the Levites that waited.

45 Oni su vršili službu Bogu svome i službu očišćenja - kao i pjevači i vratari - prema odredbi Davida i njegova sina Salomona.

And both the singers and the porters kept the ward of their God, and the ward of the purification, according to the commandment of David, [and] of Solomon his son.

46 Jer od Davidovih i Asafovih dana, od davnine, postoje pjevački glavari i pjesme pohvalne i zahvalnice Bogu.

For in the days of David, and Asaph of old [there were] chief of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving to God.

47 Zato je sav Izrael u vrijeme Zerubabela i u Nehemijino vrijeme dan za danom davao dijelove određene za pjevače i vratare. Davali su levitima posvećene darove, a leviti su davali sinovima Aronovim.

And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah, gave the portions of the singers and the porters, every day his portion: and they sanctified [holy things] to the Levites; and the Levites sanctified [them] to the children of Aaron.
