8 The Levites were Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, and Mattaniah, who with his fellow Levites was in charge of the songs of praise.
Og levitarne var: Jesua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Serebja, Juda, Mattanja, som saman med brørne sine styrde med lovsongen,
9 Two other Levites, Bakbukiah and Unni, stood opposite them in the service.
medan Bakbukja og Unno, brørne deira, stod midt fyre deim etter vaktskift.
10 Jeshua the high priest was the father of Joiakim, who was the father of Eliashib, who was the father of Joiada,
Jesua fekk sonen Jojakim, Jojakim fekk sonen Eljasib, og Eljasib Jojada.
11 who was the father of Jonathan, who was the father of Jaddua.
Jojada fekk sonen Jonatan, og Jonatan Jaddua.
12 In Joiakim's time, these were the family leaders of the priests: of the family of Seraiah, Meraiah; of Jeremiah, Hananiah;

22 The family leaders of the Levites in the time of Eliashib, Joiada, Johanan, and Jaddua, in addition to those of the priests, were recorded during the reign of Darius the Persian.
I Eljasibs, i Jojada og Johanan og Jaddua si tid, vart hovdingarne for levitættgreinerne uppskrivne; like eins prestarne i styringstidi åt persaren Darius.
23 As for the genealogy of the sons of Levi, the family leaders up to the time of Johanan, son of Eliashib, were listed in the Book of the Records.
Levi-sønerne, ættarhovdingarne, er uppskrivne i krønikeboki heilt fram til dagarne hans Johanan Eljasibsson.
24 The Levite leaders were Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua, son of Kadmiel, together with their fellow Levites, who stood opposite them, each section giving praise and thanks and responding to one another, as arranged by David, the man of God.
Levithovdingarne var: Hasabja, Serebja og Jesua Kadmielsson og brørne deira, som stod midt imot deim og song lovsongen og takkesongen, etter som gudsmannen David hadde bode, ein songarflokk attmed hin.
25 They were joined by Mattaniah, Bakbukiah, and Obadiah. Meshullam, Talmon, and Akkub were gatekeepers who guarded the storehouses at the gates.
Mattanja, Bakbukja, Obadja, Mesullam, Talmon og Akkub var portvaktarar og heldt vakt ved upplagsromi ved portarne.
26 They served in the time of Joiakim, son of Jeshua, son of Jozadak, and in the time of Nehemiah the governor and Ezra the priest and scribe.
Dette var ættarhovdingarne i dagarne hans Jojakim, son åt Jesua Josadaksson, og i jarlen Nehemia og den skriftlærde presten Ezra si tid.
27 In order to dedicate the wall of Jerusalem, the Levites were called from everywhere they were living to come to Jerusalem and celebrate with joy the dedication with songs of praise and thanks, accompanied by cymbals, harps, and lyres.
Då muren kring Jerusalem skulde verta vigd, henta dei levitarne frå alle bustaderne deira og førde deim til Jerusalem, til å halda vigsla og gledehøgtid med lov og song, med cymblar og harpor og cithrar.
28 The singers were also brought in from the area around Jerusalem and from the villages of the Netophathites,
Då samla songar-sønerne seg frå kverven kring Jerusalem og frå netofatitgardarne,
29 as well as from Beth-gilgal and from the area of Geba and Azmaveth, for the singers had built villages for themselves all around Jerusalem.
frå Bet-Haggilgal og frå landet kring Geba og Azmavet; songarane hadde bygt seg gardar rundt ikring Jerusalem.
30 Once the priests and the Levites had purified themselves, they purified the people, the gates, and the wall.
Prestarne og levitarne reinsa seg, og dei reinsa folket og portarne og muren.
31 I had the leaders of Judah go up on the wall, and arranged two large choirs that to give thanks. One group went to right along the wall to the Refuse Gate.
Eg let hovdingarne i Juda stiga upp på muren. So skipa eg tvo store songkorar og festferder. Den eine gjekk til høgre uppå muren fram mot Møkporten.
32 Hoshaiah and half the leaders of Judah followed them,
Etter dei gjekk Hosaja og den eine helvti av Juda-hovdingarne,
33 with Azariah, Ezra, Meshullam,
og so Azarja, Ezra, Mesullam,
34 Judah, Benjamin, Shemaiah, and Jeremiah,
Juda, Benjamin, Semaja og Jeremia,
35 as well as some of the priests with trumpets, and Zechariah, son of Jonathan, son of Shemaiah, son of Mattaniah, son of Micaiah, son of Zaccur, son of Asaph,
like eins nokre av prestesønerne med lurar; dinæst Zakarja, son åt Jonatan, son åt Semaja, son åt Mattanja, son åt Mikaja, son åt Zakkur, son åt Asaf,
36 and his fellow priests, Shemaiah, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, Judah, and Hanani, along with the musical instruments as required by David, the man of God. Ezra the scribe led them.
og so brørne hans: Semaja, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Ma’ai, Netanel, Juda, og Hanani med spelgognerne åt gudsmannen David. Den skriftlærde Ezra gjekk fyre deim.
37 At the Fountain Gate they headed straight up by the stairs of the city of David, where the wall goes uphill, above the house of David, and on to the Water Gate on the east.
Dei gjekk yver Kjeldeporten og beint upp tropperne til Davidsbyen, der ein stig upp på muren ovanfor Davidshuset, heilt fram til Vatsporten i aust.
38 The other choir group went in the opposite direction. I followed them, along with half the people, on the wall passing the Tower of the Ovens, on to the Broad Wall,
Den andre songkoren gjekk til vinstre, og der fylgde eg og den andre helvti av folket uppå muren, yver Omnstårnet burt til den breide muren,
39 over the Ephraim Gate, the Jeshanah Gate, the Fish Gate, the Tower of Hananel, and the Tower of the Hundred, as far as the Sheep Gate, stopping at the Guard Gate.
yver Efraimsporten, Gamleporten og Fiskeporten, gjenom Hananeltårnet og Hammeatårnet, heilt fram til Saueporten. Dei stana ved Fengselsporten.
40 Both thanksgiving choirs then took their places in God's Temple. I followed with the group of leaders that was with me,
So stelte dei seg upp i Guds hus båe songkorarne; like eins eg og helvti av formennerne med meg,
41 along with the priests blowing their trumpets: Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah.
og prestarne Eljakim, Ma’aseja, Minjamin, Mikaja, Eljoenai, Zakarja og Hananja med lurar,
42 Then came the singers Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malchijah, Elam, and Ezer, and the choirs sang, directed by Jezrahiah.
og Ma’aseja, Semaja, Eleazar, Uzzi, Johanan, Malkia, Elam og Ezer. Og songarane let songen ljoma, og føraren deira var Jizrahja.
43 Many sacrifices were offered that day, celebrating that God had brought them so much happiness, tremendous happiness. The women and children also celebrated, and the sounds of joy in Jerusalem could be heard far away.
Dei ofra den dagen store offer og gledde seg; for Gud hadde kveikt gleda hjå folket; ogso kvinnorne og borni gledde seg. Og gleda frå Jerusalem høyrdest langan leid.
44 On the same day men were put in charge over the storerooms that contained the offerings, the first part of the crops, and tithes. What was allocated by the Law for the priests and Levites was brought into these storerooms from the fields around the towns, because all the people of Judah were happy for the service of the priests and Levites.
Samstundes vart det uppnemt menner til å hava tilsyn med upplagsromi for reidorne, fyrstegrøda og tiendi, til å gøyma der det som lovi heimla prestarne og levitarne frå bymarkerne. Dei var fegne i Juda for at prestarne og levitarne gjorde tenesta.
45 They were responsible for the worship of their God and for the service of purification, along with the singers and gatekeepers, following the instructions of David and his son Solomon.
Og dei tok vare på det som var til å taka vare på ved gudstenesta og reinsingarne. Like eins gjorde songarane og portvaktarane sine tenestor, soleis som David og Salomo, son hans, hadde bode;
46 For long ago, back in the time of David and Asaph, directors had been appointed for the singers and for the songs of praise and thanks to God.
for alt i gamall tid, i Davids dagar, og songarhovdingen Asafs dagar, ljoda lovsongar og takkesongar til Gud.
47 So in the time of Zerubbabel and of Nehemiah, everyone in Israel provided the daily food allowances for the singers and the gatekeepers. They also made sure to provide for the other Levites, and the Levites gave a share of this to the descendants of Aaron.
Og i Zerubbabels og Nehemias dagar gav heile Israel songarane og portvaktarane dei reidorne dei skulde hava frå dag til annan. Levitarne fekk sine heilage gåvor, og dei reidde ut heilage gåvor til Arons-sønerne.
