Now at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem, they sought the Levites from all their places, so that they might bring them to Jerusalem, and so that they might keep the dedication, and rejoice with thanksgiving, and with singing, and with cymbals, psalteries, and lyres.

And the priests and the Levites were cleansed, and they cleansed the people, and the gates, and the wall.
31 Saa lod jeg Judas Øverster stige op paa Muren og opstillede to store Lovprisningstog. Det ene drog til højre oven paa Muren ad Møgporten til,
Then I caused the leaders of Judah to ascend the wall, and I appointed two great choirs to give praise. And they went to the right upon the wall, toward the dung gate.

And his brothers, Shemaiah, and Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, and Judah, and Hanani, went forth with the canticles of David, the man of God. And Ezra, the scribe, was before them at the fountain gate.
37 og de gik over Kildeporten; derpaa gik de lige ud op ad Trinene til Davidsbyen, ad Opgangen paa Muren oven for Davids Palads hen til Vandporten mod Øst.
And opposite them, they ascended by the steps of the city of David, at the ascent of the wall above the house of David, and as far as the water gate to the east.
38 Det andet Lovprisningstog, hvor jeg og den anden Halvdel af Folkets Øverster var med, drog til venstre oven paa Muren, over Ovntaarnet til den brede Mur
And the second choir of those who gave thanks went forth on the opposite side, and I went after them, and one half part of the people were upon the wall, and upon the tower of the furnaces, as far as the widest wall,
39 og videre over Efraimsporten, den gamle Port, Fiskeporten, Hanan'eltaarnet og Meataarnet til Faareporten og stillede sig op i Fængselsporten.
and above the gate of Ephraim, and above the ancient gate, and above the fish gate, and the tower of Hananel, and the tower of Hamath, and as far as the flock gate. And they stood still at the watch gate.
40 Derpaa stillede de to Lovprisningstog sig op i Guds Hus, jeg sammen med Halvdelen af Øversterne
And the two choirs of those who gave praise stood still at the house of God, with myself and one half part of the magistrates who were with me.
41 og Præsterne Eljakim, Ma'aseja, Minjamin, Mika, Eljoenaj, Zekarja, Hananja med Trompeter,
And the priests, Eliakim, Maaseiah, Mijamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, Hananiah, went forth with trumpets,
42 endvidere Ma'aseja, Sjemaja, El'azar, Uzzi, Johanan, Malkija, Elam og Ezer. Og Sangerne stemte i, ledede af Jizraja.
with Maaseiah, and Shemaiah, and Eleazar, and Uzzi, and Jehohanan, and Malchijah, and Elam, and Ezer. And the singers were singing clearly, and Jezrahiah was their foremost leader.
43 Paa den Dag ofrede de store Slagtofre og var glade, thi Gud havde bragt dem stor Glæde; ogsaa Kvinderne og Børnene var glade; og Glæden i Jerusalem hørtes langt bort.
And on that day, they immolated great sacrifices, and they rejoiced. For God had caused them to rejoice with great joy. And their wives and children also were glad. And the rejoicing of Jerusalem was heard from far away.
44 Paa den Dag indsattes der Mænd til at have Tilsyn med de Kamre, der brugtes til Forraadene, Offerydelserne, Førstegrøden og Tienden, for i dem at opsamle de i Loven foreskrevne Afgifter til Præsterne og Leviterne fra de forskellige Bymarker, thi Juda glædede sig over Præsterne og Leviterne, der gjorde Tjeneste;
On that day also, they enrolled men over the storehouses of the treasury, for the libations, and for the first-fruits, and for the tithes, so that the leaders of the city might bring these in, by them, with proper thanksgiving, for the priests and the Levites. For Judah was rejoicing in the priests and the Levites who were assisting.
45 og disse tog Vare paa, hvad der var at varetage for deres Gud og ved Renselsen, ligesom ogsaa Sangerne og Dørvogterne gjorde deres Gerning efter Davids og hans Søn Salomos Bud.
And they kept the vigil of their God, and the vigil of expiation, with the singing men and the gatekeepers, in accord with the precept of David, and of Solomon, his son.
46 Thi allerede paa Davids Tid var Asaf Leder for Sangerne og for Lov— og Takkesangene til Gud.
For in the days of David and Asaph, from the beginning, there were leaders appointed over the singers, to give praise in verses, and to confess to God.
47 Hele Israel gav paa Zerubbabels og Nehemias's Tid Afgifter til Sangerne og Dørvogterne, efter som det krævedes Dag for Dag; og de gav Leviterne Helliggaver, og Leviterne gav Arons Sønner Helliggaver.
And all of Israel, in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah, gave portions to the singing men and to the gatekeepers, for each day, and they sanctified the Levites, and the Levites sanctified the sons of Aaron.
