and Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malchijah, Elam, and Ezer. The singers sang 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.
They offered great sacrifices that day, and rejoiced, for God had made them rejoice with great joy; and the women and the children also rejoiced, so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard even far away.
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.
On that day, men were appointed over the rooms for the treasures, for the wave offerings, for the first fruits, and for the tithes, to gather into them according to the fields of the cities the portions appointed by the law for the priests and Levites; for Judah rejoiced for the priests and for the Levites who served.
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 duty of their God and the duty of the purification, and so did the singers and the gatekeepers, 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 was a chief of the singers, and 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.
All Israel in the days of Zerubbabel and in the days of Nehemiah gave the portions of the singers and the gatekeepers, as every day required; and they set apart that which was for the Levites; and the Levites set apart that which was for the sons of Aaron.
