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 giving thanks and with singing, with cymbals, stringed instruments, and with harps.

30 Da Præsterne og Leviterne havde renset sig, rensede de Folket, Portene og Muren.
The priests and the Levites purified themselves; and they purified the people, 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 the princes of Judah up on the wall, and appointed two great companies who gave thanks and went in procession. One went on the right hand on the wall towards the dung gate;
32 og med det fulgte Hosjaja og den ene Halvdel af Judas Øverster;
and after them went Hoshaiah, with half of the princes of Judah,
33 dernæst nogle af Præsterne med Trompeter, Azarja, Ezra, Mesjullam,
and Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam,

36 og hans Brødre Sjemaja, Azar'el, Milalaj, Gilalaj, Ma'aj, Netan'el, Juda, Hanani med den Guds Mand Davids Musikinstrumenter, med Ezra den Skriftlærde i Spidsen;
and his brothers, Shemaiah, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, Judah, and 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.
By the spring gate, and straight before them, they went up by the stairs of David’s city, at the ascent of the wall, above David’s house, even to 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
The other company of those who gave thanks went to meet them, and I after them, with the half of the people on the wall above the tower of the furnaces, even to the wide 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 old gate, and by the fish gate, the tower of Hananel, and the tower of Hammeah, even to 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 the two companies of those who gave thanks in God’s house stood, 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 shofars;
42 endvidere Ma'aseja, Sjemaja, El'azar, Uzzi, Johanan, Malkija, Elam og Ezer. Og Sangerne stemte i, ledede af Jizraja.
and Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malchijah, Elam, and Ezer. 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.
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 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, 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 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.
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 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 was a chief of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving 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.
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.
