15 Og jeg samlede dem ved den Flod, der løber ad Ahava til, og vi laa lejret der i tre Dage. Men da jeg tog Folket og Præsterne nærmere i Øjesyn, fandt jeg ingen Leviter der.
And I gathered them to the Riuer that goeth toward Ahaua, and there abode we three dayes: then I viewed the people, and the Priests, and found there none of the sonnes of Leui.
16 Jeg sendte derfor Overhovederne Eliezer, Ariel, Sjemaja, Elnatan, Jarib, Elnatan, Natan, Zekarja og Mesjullam og Lærerne Jojarib og Elnatan hen
Therefore sent I to Eliezer, to Ariel, to Shemeiah, and to Elnathan, and to Iarib, and to Elnathan, and to Nathan, and to Zechariah, and to Meshullam the chiefe, and to Ioiarib and to Elnathan, men of vnderstanding,
17 og bød dem gaa til Overhovedet Iddo i Byen Kasifja, idet jeg lagde dem de Ord i Munden, hvormed de skulde overtale Iddo og hans Brødre i Byen Kasifja til at sende os Tjenere til vor Guds Hus;
And I gaue them commandement, to Iddo the chiefest at the place of Casiphia, and I told them the words that they should speake to Iddo, and to his brethren the Nethinims at the place of Casiphia, that they should cause the ministers of the house of our God to come vnto vs.
18 og eftersom vor Guds gode Haand var over os, sendte de os en forstandig Mand af Efterkommerne efter Mali, Israels Søn Levis Søn, Sjerebja med hans Sønner og Brødre, atten Mand,
So by the good hande of our God which was vpon vs, they brought vs a man of vnderstanding of the sonnes of Mahali the sonne of Leui the sonne of Israel, and Sherebiah with his sonnes and his brethren, euen eighteene.
19 og Hasjabja og Jesja'ja af Meraris Efterkommere med deres Brødre og Sønner, tyve Mand,

20 og af Tempeltrællene, som David og Øversterne havde stillet til Leviternes Tjeneste, 220 Tempeltrælle, alle med Navns Nævnelse.
And of the Nethinims, whom Dauid had set, and the Princes for the seruice of the Leuites, two hundreth and twentie of the Nethinims, which all were named by name.
21 Saa lod jeg der ved Floden Ahava udraabe en Faste til Ydmygelse for vor Guds Aasyn for hos ham at udvirke en lykkelig Rejse for os og vore Familier og Ejendele;
And there at the Riuer, by Ahaua, I proclaimed a fast, that we might humble our selues before our God, and seeke of him a right way for vs, and for our children, and for all our substance.
22 thi jeg undsaa mig ved at bede Kongen om Krigsfolk og Ryttere til at hjælpe os undervejs mod Fjenden, eftersom vi havde sagt til Kongen: Vor Guds Haand er over alle; der søger ham, og hjælper dem, men hans Vælde og Vrede kommer over alle dem, der forlader ham.
For I was ashamed to require of the King an armie and horsemen, to helpe vs against the enemie in the way, because we had spoken to the King, saying, The hande of our God is vpon all them that seeke him in goodnesse, but his power and his wrath is against all them that forsake him.
23 Saa fastede vi og bad til vor Gud derom, og han bønhørte os.
So we fasted, aud besought our God for this: and he was intreated of vs.
24 Derpaa udvalgte jeg tolv af Præsternes Øverster og Sjerebja og Hasjabja og ti af deres Brødre;
Then I separated twelue of the chiefe of the Priests, Sherebiah, and Hashabiah, and ten of their brethren with them,
25 og dem tilvejede jeg Sølvet og Guldet og gav dem Karrene, den Offerydelse til vor Guds Hus, som Kongen, hans Raadgivere og Fyrster og alle de der boende Israeliter havde ydet;
And weighed them the siluer and the gold, and the vessels, euen the offring of ye house of our God, which the King and his counselers, and his Princes, and all Israel that were present had offred.
26 jeg tilvejede dem af Sølv 650 Talenter, Sølvkar til en Værdi af 100 Talenter, af Guld 100 Talenter,
And I weighed vnto their hand sixe hundreth and fiftie talents of siluer, and in siluer vessel, an hundreth talents, and in golde, an hundreth talents:
27 tyve Guldbægre til 1000 Darejker og to Kar af fint, guldglinsende Kobber, kostbare som Guld.
And twentie basins of golde, of a thousand drammes, and two vessels of shining brasse very good, and precious as golde.
28 Saa sagde jeg til dem: »I er helliget HERREN, og Karrene er helliget, og Sølvet og Guldet er en frivillig Gave til HERREN, eders Fædres Gud;
And I said vnto them, Ye are consecrate vnto the Lord, and the vessels are consecrate, and the gold and the siluer are freely offred vnto the Lord God of your fathers.
29 vaag derfor over det og vogt paa det, indtil I i Paasyn af Præsternes og Leviternes Øverster og Israels Fædrenehuses Øverster vejer det ud i Jerusalem i Kamrene i HERRENS Hus!«
Watch ye, and keepe them vntill ye weigh them before the chiefe Priestes and the Leuites, and the chiefe fathers of Israel in Ierusalem in the chambers of the house of the Lord.
30 Da modtog Præsterne og Leviterne det tilvejede, Sølvet og Guldet og Karrene, for at bringe det til vor Guds Hus i Jerusalem.
So the Priests and the Leuites receiued the weight of the siluer and of the golde, and of the vessels to bring them to Ierusalem, vnto the house of our God.
31 Saa brød vi op fra Floden Ahava paa den tolvte Dag i den første Maaned for at drage til Jerusalem; og vor Guds Haand var over os, saa han frelste os fra Fjendernes og Røvernes Haand undervejs.
Then we departed from the Riuer of Ahauah on the twelft day of the first moneth, to go vnto Ierusalem, and the hand of our God was vpon vs, and deliuered vs from the hand of the enemie, and of such as layde waite by the way.
32 Da vi var kommet til Jerusalem, holdt vi os rolige der i tre Dage;
And we came to Ierusalem, and abode there three dayes.
33 og paa den fjerde Dag blev Sølvet, Guldet og Karrene afvejet i vor Guds Hus og overgivet Præsten Meremot, Urijas Søn, tillige med El'azar, Pinehas's Søn, og Leviterne Jozabad, Jesuas Søn, og Noadja, Binnujs Søn,
And on ye fourth day was the siluer weighed, and the golde and the vessell in the house of our God by the hand of Meremoth the sonne of Vriah the Priest, and with him was Eleazar the sonne of Phinehas, and with them was Iozabad the sonne of Ieshua, and Noadiah the sonne of Binnui the Leuites,
34 alt sammen efter Tal og Vægt, og hele Vægten blev optegnet: Paa samme Tid
By number and by weight of euery one, and all the weight was written at the same time.
35 bragte de, der kom fra Fangenskabet, de, der havde været i Landflygtighed, Brændofre til Israels Gud: 12 Tyre for hele Israel, 96 Vædre, 77 Lam og 12 Gedebukke til Syndofre, alt sammen som Brændoffer til HERREN.
Also the children of the captiuitie, which were come out of captiuitie, offred burnt offrings vnto the God of Israel, twelue bullockes for all Israel, ninetie and sixe rammes, seuentie and seuen lambes, and twelue hee goates for sinne: all was a burnt offring of the Lord.
36 Og de overgav Kongens Befalinger til Kongens Satraper og Statholderne hinsides Floden, og disse ydede Folket og Guds Hus deres Hjælp.
And they deliuered the Kings commission vnto the Kings officers, and to the captaines beyond the Riuer: and they promoted the people, and the house of God.
