Men Leviterne vare: Jesua, Binnuj, Kadmiel, Serebja, Juda, Matthanja; han og hans Brødre forestode Lovsangen.
9 Bakbukiah and Unni, their associates, stood across from them in the services.
Og Bakbukja og Unni, deres Brødre, holdt Vagt tillige med dem.
10 Jeshua was the father of Joiakim, Joiakim was the father of Eliashib, Eliashib was the father of Joiada,
Og Jesua avlede Jojakim, og Jojakim avlede Eliasib, og Eliasib avlede Jojada,
11 Joiada was the father of Jonathan, and Jonathan was the father of Jaddua.
og Jojada avlede Jonathan, og Jonathan avlede Jaddua.
12 In the days of Joiakim, these were the heads of the priestly families: of the family of Seraiah, Meraiah; of Jeremiah, Hananiah;

22 In the days of Eliashib, Joiada, Johanan, and Jaddua, during the reign of Darius the Persian, the heads of the families of the Levites and priests were recorded.
Blandt Leviterne bleve i Eliasibs, Jojadas og Johanans og Jadduas Dage Øversterne for Fædrenehusene opskrevne, saa og iblandt Præsterne indtil Perseren Darius's Regering.
23 As for the descendants of Levi, the family heads up to the days of Johanan son of Eliashib were recorded in the Book of the Chronicles.
Levi Børn, Øversterne for Fædrenehusene, bleve opskrevne i Krønikebogen, og det indtil Johanans, Eliasibs Søns, Dage.
24 The leaders of the Levites were Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua son of Kadmiel, along with their associates, who stood across from them to give praise and thanksgiving as one section alternated with the other, as prescribed by David the man of God.
Og Leviternes Øverster vare: Hasabja, Serebja og Jesua, Kadmiels Søn, og deres Brødre vare tillige med dem for at love og at takke efter Davids den Guds Mands Befaling, den ene Vagt saavel som den anden.
25 Mattaniah, Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, and Akkub were gatekeepers who guarded the storerooms at the gates.
Matthanja og Bakbukja, Obadja, Mesullam, Thaimon og Akku, de havde Vagt som Portnere ved Skatkamrene i Portene.
26 They served in the days of Joiakim son of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor and Ezra the priest and scribe.
Disse levede i Jojakims, Jesuas Søns, Dage, hans, som var en Søn af Jozadak, og i Fyrsten Nehemias og i Præsten Esras, den skriftlærdes, Dage.
27 At the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem, the Levites were sought out from all their homes and brought to Jerusalem to celebrate the joyous dedication with thanksgiving and singing, accompanied by cymbals, harps, and lyres.
Og til Murenes Indvielse i Jerusalem opsøgte de Leviterne fra alle deres Steder for at føre dem til Jerusalem, at holde Indvielsen med Glæde og med Taksigelser og med Sang, Cymbler, Psaltre og Harper.
28 The singers were also assembled from the region around Jerusalem, from the villages of the Netophathites,
Og Sangernes Børn samledes, baade fra Omegnen trindt omkring Jerusalem og fra Netofatiternes Landsbyer
29 from Beth-gilgal, and from the fields of Geba and Azmaveth, for they had built villages for themselves around Jerusalem.
og fra Gilgals Hus og fra Markerne ved Geba og Asmaveth; thi Sangerne havde bygget sig Landsbyer trindt omkring Jerusalem.
30 After the priests and Levites had purified themselves, they purified the people, the gates, and the wall.
Og Præsterne og Leviterne rensede sig, og de rensede Folket og Portene og Muren.
31 Then I brought the leaders of Judah up on the wall, and I appointed two great thanksgiving choirs. One was to proceed along the top of the wall to the right, toward the Dung Gate.
Og jeg lod Judas Fyrster opstige paa Muren, og jeg beskikkede to store Taksigelseskor og Optog: Det ene gik til den højre Side oven paa Muren til Møgporten,
32 Hoshaiah and half the leaders of Judah followed,
og Hosaja og Halvdelen af Judas Fyrster gik efter dem,
33 along with Azariah, Ezra, Meshullam,
og Asaria, Esra og Mesullam,
34 Judah, Benjamin, Shemaiah, Jeremiah,
Juda og Benjamin og Semaja og Jeremia
35 and some of the priests with trumpets, and also Zechariah son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Micaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph,
og nogle af Præsternes Børn med Basuner: Sakaria, en Søn af Jonathan, som var en Søn af Semaja, som var en Søn af Matthanja, en Søn af Mikaja, en Søn af Sakur, en Søn af Asaf;
36 and his associates—Shemaiah, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, Judah, and Hanani—with the musical instruments prescribed by David the man of God. Ezra the scribe led the procession.
og hans Brødre: Semaja og Asareel, Milalaj, Gilalaj, Maaj, Nethaneel og Juda, Hanani, med Davids, Guds Mands, Sanginstrumenter; og Esra, den skriftlærde, foran dem.
37 At the Fountain Gate they climbed the steps of the City of David on the ascent to the wall and passed above the house of David to the Water Gate on the east.
Og over Kildeporten og ligefrem for sig stege de op paa Trapperne til Davids Stad, ad Opgangen til Muren, hen op til Davids Hus, og indtil Vandporten imod Østen.
38 The second thanksgiving choir proceeded to the left, and I followed it with half the people along the top of the wall, past the Tower of the Ovens to the Broad Wall,
Og det andet Taksigelseskor gik i modsat Retning, og jeg efter det, og Halvdelen af Folket oven paa Muren, hen op til Ovntaarnet og indtil den brede Mur
39 over the Gate of Ephraim, the Jeshanah Gate, the Fish Gate, the Tower of Hananel, and the Tower of the Hundred, as far as the Sheep Gate. And they stopped at the Gate of the Guard.
og over Efraims Port og over den gamle Port og over Fiskeporten og forbi Hananeels Taarn og Meas Taarn og indtil Faareporten; og de bleve staaende ved Vagtens Port.
40 The two thanksgiving choirs then stood in the house of God, as did I, along with the half of the officials accompanying me,
Saa stode da de to Taksigelseskor ved Guds Hus og jeg og Halvdelen af Forstanderne med mig,
41 as well as the priests with their trumpets—Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah—
og Præsterne: Eliakim, Maeseja, Minjamin, Mikaja, Elioenaj, Sakaria, Hanania, med Basunerne,
42 and also Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malchijah, Elam, and Ezer. Then the choirs sang out under the direction of Jezrahiah.
og Maeseja og Semaja og Eleasar og Ussi og Johanan og Malkia og Elam og Eser. Og Sangerne lode sig høre, og Jesraja var Formand.
43 On that day they offered great sacrifices, rejoicing because God had given them great joy. The women and children also rejoiced, so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard from afar.
Og de ofrede paa den samme Dag store Ofre og vare glade; thi Gud havde glædet dem med en stor Glæde, og endogsaa Kvinderne og Børnene glædede sig, saa at Jerusalems Glæde blev hørt indtil langt borte.
44 And on that same day men were appointed over the rooms that housed the supplies, contributions, firstfruits, and tithes. The portions specified by the Law for the priests and Levites were gathered into these storerooms from the fields of the villages, because Judah rejoiced over the priests and Levites who were serving.
Og paa den samme Dag bleve Mænd beskikkede over Forraadskamrene, for Offergaverne, for Førstegrøden og for Tienderne, til at samle i dem af Agrene ved Stæderne de lovbestemte Dele til Præsterne og Leviterne; thi Juda havde Glæde over Præsterne og over Leviterne, som stode i deres Tjeneste.
45 They performed the service of their God and the service of purification, along with the singers and gatekeepers, as David and his son Solomon had prescribed.
Og de toge Vare paa, hvad der var at varetage for deres Gud, og paa, hvad der var at varetage for Renselsen; og Sangerne og Portnerne vare der efter Davids og hans Søn Salomos Befaling.
46 For long ago, in the days of David and Asaph, there were directors for the singers and for the songs of praise and thanksgiving to God.
Thi i Davids og i Asafs Dage, fra fordums Tid var der Øverster for Sangerne og Lovsangen og Taksigelserne til Gud.
47 So in the days of Zerubbabel and Nehemiah, all Israel contributed the daily portions for the singers and gatekeepers. They also set aside daily portions for the Levites, and the Levites set aside daily portions for the descendants of Aaron.
Men al Israel gav Sangerne og Portnerne Underhold i Serubabels Dage og Nehemias Dage, hvad de skulde have til hver Dag, og de helligede det til Leviterne, og Leviterne helligede det til Arons Sønner.
