27 Og til Murenes Indvielse i Jerusalem opsøgte de Leviterne fra alle deres Steder for at føre dem til Jerusalem, at holde Indvielsen med Glæde og med Taksigelser og med Sang, Cymbler, Psaltre og Harper.
And when the time came for the wall of Jerusalem to be made holy, they sent for the Levites out of all their places to come to Jerusalem, to keep the feast with joy, and with praise and melody, with brass and corded instruments of music.
28 Og Sangernes Børn samledes, baade fra Omegnen trindt omkring Jerusalem og fra Netofatiternes Landsbyer
And the sons of the music-makers came together from the lowland round about Jerusalem and from the daughter-towns of the Netophathites,
29 og fra Gilgals Hus og fra Markerne ved Geba og Asmaveth; thi Sangerne havde bygget sig Landsbyer trindt omkring Jerusalem.
And from Beth-gilgal and from the fields of Geba and Azmaveth: for the music-makers had made daughter-towns for themselves round about Jerusalem.
30 Og Præsterne og Leviterne rensede sig, og de rensede Folket og Portene og Muren.
And the priests and the Levites made themselves clean; and they made the people clean, and the doorways 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 made the rulers of Judah come up on the wall, and I put in position two great bands of them who gave praise, walking in ordered lines; one went to the right on the wall, in the direction of the doorway where the waste was put;
32 og Hosaja og Halvdelen af Judas Fyrster gik efter dem,

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.
And by the doorway of the fountain and straight in front of them, they went up by the steps of the town of David, at the slope up of the wall, over the house of David, as far as the water-doorway to 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
And the other band of those who gave praise went to the left, and I went after them with half the people, on the wall, over the tower of the ovens, as far as the wide 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.
And over the doorway of Ephraim and by the old door and the fish door and the tower of Hananel and the tower of Hammeah, as far as the sheep door: and at the doorway of the watchmen they came to a stop.
40 Saa stode da de to Taksigelseskor ved Guds Hus og jeg og Halvdelen af Forstanderne med mig,
So the two bands of those who gave praise took up their positions in the house of God, and I and half of the chiefs with me:
41 og Præsterne: Eliakim, Maeseja, Minjamin, Mikaja, Elioenaj, Sakaria, Hanania, med Basunerne,
And the priests; Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with wind instruments;
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 Maaseiah and Shemaiah and Eleazar and Uzzi and Jehohanan and Malchijah and Elam and Ezer. And the makers of melody made their voices loud, with Jezrahiah their overseer.
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.
And on that day they made great offerings and were glad; for God had made them glad with great joy; and the women and the children were glad with them: so that the joy of Jerusalem came to the ears of those who were far off.
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 day certain men were put over the rooms where the things which had been given were stored, for the lifted offerings and the first-fruits and the tenths, and to take into them the amounts, from the fields of every town, fixed by the law for the priests and the Levites: for Judah was glad on account of the priests and the Levites who were in their places.
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.
And they kept the watch of their God, and were responsible for making things clean, and so did the music-makers and the door-keepers, as it was ordered by David and Solomon his son.
46 Thi i Davids og i Asafs Dage, fra fordums Tid var der Øverster for Sangerne og Lovsangen og Taksigelserne til Gud.
For in the days of David and Asaph in the past, there was a master of the music, and songs of blessing and praise 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.
And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel and in the days of Nehemiah gave what was needed by the music-makers and the door-keepers day by day: and they made the offerings holy for the Levites; and the Levites did the same for the sons of Aaron.
