And the priests and the Levites purified, and they purified the people, and the gates, and the wall.
31 Så lod jeg Judas Øverster stige op på Muren og opstillede to store Lovprisningstog. Det ene drog til højre oven på Muren ad Møgporten til,
And I made the princes of Juda go up upon the wall, and I appointed two great choirs to give praise. And they went on the right hand upon the wall toward the dunghill gate.
32 og med det fulgte Hosjaja og den ene Halvdel af Judas Øverster;
And after them went Osaias, and half of the princes of Juda,

And his brethren Semeia, and Azareel Malalai, Galalai, Maai, Nathanael, and Judas, and Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God: and Esdras the scribe before them at the fountain gate.
37 og de gik over Kildeporten; derpå gik de lige ud op ad Trinene til Davidsbyen, ad Opgangen på Muren oven for Davids Palads hen til Vandporten mod Øst.
And they went up over against them by the stairs of the city of David, at the going up of the wall of the house of David, and to the water gate eastward:
38 Det andet Lovprisningstog, hvor jeg og den anden Halvdel af Folkets Øverster var med, drog til venstre oven på Muren, over Ovntårnet til den brede Mur
And the second choir of them that gave thanks went on the opposite side, and I after them, and the half of the people upon the wall, and upon the tower of the furnaces, even to the broad wall,
39 og videre over Efraimsporten, den gamle Port, Fiskeporten, Hanan'eltårnet og Meatårnet til Fåreporten og stillede sig op i Fængselsporten.
And above the gate of Ephraim, and above the old gate, and above the fish gate and the tower of Hananeel, and the tower of Emath, and even to the flock gate: and they stood still in the watch gate.
40 Derpå stillede de to Lovprisningstog sig op i Guds Hus, jeg sammen med Halvdelen af Øversterne
And the two choirs of them that gave praise stood still at the house of God, and I and the half of the magistrates with me.

And Maasia, and Semeia, and Eleazar, and Azzi, and Johanan, and Melchia, and Elam, and Ezer. And the singers sung loud, and Jezraia was their overseer:
43 På den Dag ofrede de store Slagtofre og var glade, thi Gud havde bragt dem stor Glæde; også Kvinderne og Børnene var glade; og Glæden i Jerusalem hørtes langt bort.
And they sacrificed on that day great sacrifices, and they rejoiced: for God had made them joyful with great joy: their wives also and their children rejoiced, and the joy of Jerusalem was heard afar off.
44 På den Dag indsattes der Mænd til at have Tilsyn med de Kamre, der brugtes til Forrådene, 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;
They appointed also in that day men over the storehouses of the treasure, for the libations, and for the firstfruits, and for the tithes, that the rulers of the city might bring them in by them in honour of thanksgiving, for the priests and Levites: for Juda was joyful in the priests and Levites that assisted.
45 og disse tog Vare på, hvad der var at varetage for deres Gud og ved Renselsen, ligesom også Sangerne og Dørvogterne gjorde deres Gerning efter Davids og hans Søn Salomos Bud.
And they kept the watch of their God, and the observance of expiation, and the singing men, and the porters, according to the commandment of David, and of Solomon his son.
46 Thi allerede på 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 chief singers appointed, to praise with canticles, and give thanks to God.
47 Hele Israel gav på 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 Zorobabel, and in the days of Nehemias gave portions to the singing men, and to the porters, day by day, and they sanctified the Levites, and the Levites sanctified the sons of Aaron.
