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.
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 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 at that time were some appointed over the chambers for the treasures, for the offerings, for the firstfruits, 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 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 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 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 of old there were chief of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving unto 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 the portions of the singers and the porters, every day his portion: and they sanctified holy things unto the Levites; and the Levites sanctified them unto the children of Aaron.
