At the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem, the Levites were sought out from all their homes and brought to Jerusalem to celebrate the joyous dedication with thanksgiving and singing, accompanied by cymbals, harps, and lyres.
28 Og Sangernes Børn samledes, baade fra Omegnen trindt omkring Jerusalem og fra Netofatiternes Landsbyer
The singers were also assembled from the region around Jerusalem, from the villages of the Netophathites,
29 og fra Gilgals Hus og fra Markerne ved Geba og Asmaveth; thi Sangerne havde bygget sig Landsbyer trindt omkring Jerusalem.
from Beth-gilgal, and from the fields of Geba and Azmaveth, for they had built villages for themselves around Jerusalem.
30 Og Præsterne og Leviterne rensede sig, og de rensede Folket og Portene og Muren.
After the priests and Levites had purified themselves, they purified the people, the gates, and the wall.
31 Og jeg lod Judas Fyrster opstige paa Muren, og jeg beskikkede to store Taksigelseskor og Optog: Det ene gik til den højre Side oven paa Muren til Møgporten,
Then I brought the leaders of Judah up on the wall, and I appointed two great thanksgiving choirs. One was to proceed along the top of the wall to the right, toward the Dung Gate.

and his associates—Shemaiah, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, Judah, and Hanani—with the musical instruments prescribed by David the man of God. Ezra the scribe led the procession.
37 Og over Kildeporten og ligefrem for sig stege de op paa Trapperne til Davids Stad, ad Opgangen til Muren, hen op til Davids Hus, og indtil Vandporten imod Østen.
At the Fountain Gate they climbed the steps of the City of David on the ascent to the wall and passed above the house of David to the Water Gate on the east.
38 Og det andet Taksigelseskor gik i modsat Retning, og jeg efter det, og Halvdelen af Folket oven paa Muren, hen op til Ovntaarnet og indtil den brede Mur
The second thanksgiving choir proceeded to the left, and I followed it with half the people along the top of the wall, past the Tower of the Ovens to the Broad Wall,
39 og over Efraims Port og over den gamle Port og over Fiskeporten og forbi Hananeels Taarn og Meas Taarn og indtil Faareporten; og de bleve staaende ved Vagtens Port.
over the Gate of Ephraim, the Jeshanah Gate, the Fish Gate, the Tower of Hananel, and the Tower of the Hundred, as far as the Sheep Gate. And they stopped at the Gate of the Guard.
40 Saa stode da de to Taksigelseskor ved Guds Hus og jeg og Halvdelen af Forstanderne med mig,
The two thanksgiving choirs then stood in the house of God, as did I, along with the half of the officials accompanying me,
41 og Præsterne: Eliakim, Maeseja, Minjamin, Mikaja, Elioenaj, Sakaria, Hanania, med Basunerne,
as well as the priests with their trumpets—Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah—
42 og Maeseja og Semaja og Eleasar og Ussi og Johanan og Malkia og Elam og Eser. Og Sangerne lode sig høre, og Jesraja var Formand.
and also Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malchijah, Elam, and Ezer. Then the choirs sang out under the direction of Jezrahiah.
43 Og de ofrede paa den samme Dag store Ofre og vare glade; thi Gud havde glædet dem med en stor Glæde, og endogsaa Kvinderne og Børnene glædede sig, saa at Jerusalems Glæde blev hørt indtil langt borte.
On that day they offered great sacrifices, rejoicing because God had given them great joy. The women and children also rejoiced, so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard from afar.
44 Og paa den samme Dag bleve Mænd beskikkede over Forraadskamrene, for Offergaverne, for Førstegrøden og for Tienderne, til at samle i dem af Agrene ved Stæderne de lovbestemte Dele til Præsterne og Leviterne; thi Juda havde Glæde over Præsterne og over Leviterne, som stode i deres Tjeneste.
And on that same day men were appointed over the rooms that housed the supplies, contributions, firstfruits, and tithes. The portions specified by the Law for the priests and Levites were gathered into these storerooms from the fields of the villages, because Judah rejoiced over the priests and Levites who were serving.
45 Og de toge Vare paa, hvad der var at varetage for deres Gud, og paa, hvad der var at varetage for Renselsen; og Sangerne og Portnerne vare der efter Davids og hans Søn Salomos Befaling.
They performed the service of their God and the service of purification, along with the singers and gatekeepers, as David and his son Solomon had prescribed.
46 Thi i Davids og i Asafs Dage, fra fordums Tid var der Øverster for Sangerne og Lovsangen og Taksigelserne til Gud.
For long ago, in the days of David and Asaph, there were directors for the singers and for the songs of praise and thanksgiving to God.
47 Men al Israel gav Sangerne og Portnerne Underhold i Serubabels Dage og Nehemias Dage, hvad de skulde have til hver Dag, og de helligede det til Leviterne, og Leviterne helligede det til Arons Sønner.
So in the days of Zerubbabel and Nehemiah, all Israel contributed the daily portions for the singers and gatekeepers. They also set aside daily portions for the Levites, and the Levites set aside daily portions for the descendants of Aaron.
