And at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought the Levites out of all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem, to keep the dedication with gladness, both with thanksgivings, and with singing, with cymbals, psalteries, and with harps.
28 Da samledes Sangerne fra Egnen om Jerusalem og fra Netofatiternes Landsbyer,
And the sons of the singers gathered themselves together, both out of the Plain round about Jerusalem, and from the villages of the Netophathites;
29 fra Bet-Gilgal, fra Gebas og Azmavets Marker; thi Sangerne havde bygget sig Landsbyer rundt om Jerusalem.
also from Beth-gilgal, and out of the fields of Geba and Azmaveth; for the singers had builded them villages round about Jerusalem.
30 Da Præsterne og Leviterne havde renset sig, rensede de Folket, Portene og Muren.
And the priests and the Levites purified themselves; and they purified 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 brought up the princes of Judah upon the wall, and appointed two great companies that gave thanks and went in procession: on the right hand upon the wall toward the dung gate;
32 og med det fulgte Hosjaja og den ene Halvdel af Judas Øverster;
and after them went Hoshaiah, and half of the princes of Judah;
33 dernæst nogle af Præsterne med Trompeter, Azarja, Ezra, Mesjullam,
and Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam,
34 Juda, Benjamin, Sjemaja og Jirmeja;

and his brethren, Shemaiah, and Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, and Judah, Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God; and Ezra the scribe was before them;
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 by the fountain gate, and straight before them, they went up by the stairs of the city of David, at the going up of the wall, above the house of David, even unto the water gate eastward.
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 other company of them that gave thanks went to meet them, and I after them, with the half of the people, upon the wall, above the tower of the furnaces, even unto the broad 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 by the gate of the old city and by the fish gate, and the tower of Hananel, and the tower of Hammeah, even unto the sheep gate; and they stood still in the gate of the guard.
40 Derpaa stillede de to Lovprisningstog sig op i Guds Hus, jeg sammen med Halvdelen af Øversterne
So stood the two companies of them that gave thanks in the house of God, and I, and the half of the rulers with me;
41 og Præsterne Eljakim, Ma'aseja, Minjamin, Mika, Eljoenaj, Zekarja, Hananja med Trompeter,
and the priests, Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with trumpets;
42 endvidere Ma'aseja, Sjemaja, El'azar, Uzzi, Johanan, Malkija, Elam og Ezer. Og Sangerne stemte i, ledede af Jizraja.
and Maaseiah, and Shemaiah, and Eleazar, and Uzzi, and Jehohanan, and Malchijah, and Elam, and Ezer. And the singers sang loud, with Jezrahiah their overseer.
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 they offered great sacrifices that day, and rejoiced; for God had made them rejoice with great joy; and the women also and the children rejoiced; so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard even afar off.
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;
And on that day were men appointed over the chambers for the treasures, for the heave-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 that took their stations.
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 ward of their God, and the ward of the purification, and so did the singers and the porters, according to the commandment 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 of old there were chief of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving unto 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 Israel in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah, gave the portions of the singers and the porters, as every day required; and they hallowed for the Levites; and the Levites hallowed for the sons of Aaron.
