22 The Levites in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, and Johanan, and Jaddua, were recorded heads of fathers' houses; also the priests, in the reign of Darius the Persian.
Leviterne: .... I Eljasjibs, Jojadas, Johanans og Jadduas Dage optegnedes Overhovederne for Fædrenehusene og Præsterne indtil Perseren Darius's Regering.
23 The sons of Levi, heads of fathers' houses, were written in the book of the chronicles, even until the days of Johanan the son of Eliashib.
Af Levis Efterkommere optegnedes Overhovederne for Fædrenehusene i Krønikebogen ned til Johanans, Eljasjibs Søns, Dage.
24 And the chiefs of the Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua the son of Kadmiel, with their brethren over against them, to praise and give thanks, according to the commandment of David the man of God, ward against ward.
Og Leviternes Overhoveder var: Hasjabja, Sjerebja, Jesua, Binnuj, Kadmiel og deres Brødte, der stod over for dem for at synge Lovsangen og Takkesangen efter den Guds Mand Davids Bud, den ene Afdeling efter den anden;
25 Mattaniah, and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub, were porters keeping the ward at the store-houses of the gates.
og Mattanja, Bakbukja og Obadja, Mesjullam, Talmon og Akkub var Dørvogtere og holdt Vagt ved Portenes Forrådskamre.
26 These were in the days of Joiakim the son of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor, and of Ezra the priest the scribe.
Disse var Overhoveder på Jojakims Tid, en Søn af Jesua, en Søn af Jozadak, og på Statholderen Nehemias's og Præsten Ezra den Skriftlærdes Tid.
27 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.
Da Jerusalems Mur skulde indvies opsøgte man Leviterne alle Vegne, hvor de boede, og bragte dem til Jerusalem, for at de skulde fejre Indvielsen med Fryd og Takkesang, med Sang, Cymbler, Harper og Citre.
28 And the sons of the singers gathered themselves together, both out of the Plain round about Jerusalem, and from the villages of the Netophathites;
Da samledes Sangerne fra Egnen om Jerusalem og fra Netofatifernes Landsbyer,
29 also from Beth-gilgal, and out of the fields of Geba and Azmaveth; for the singers had builded them villages round about Jerusalem.
fra Bet-Gilgal, fra Gebas og Azmavets Marker; thi Sangerne havde bygget sig Landsbyer rundt om Jerusalem.
30 And the priests and the Levites purified themselves; and they purified the people, and the gates, and the wall.
Da Præsterne og Leviterne havde renset sig, rensede de Folket, Portene og Muren.
31 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;
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,
32 and after them went Hoshaiah, and half of the princes of Judah;
og med det fulgte Hosjaja og den ene Halvdel af Judas Øverster;
33 and Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam,
dernæst nogle af Præsterne med Trompeter, Azarja, Ezra, Mesjullam,
34 Judah, and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah;
Juda, Benjamin, Sjemaja og Jirmeja;
35 and certain of the priests' sons with trumpets: Zechariah the son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Micaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph;
endvidere Zekarja, en Søn af Jonatan, en Søn af Sjemaja, en Søn af Mattanja, en Søn af Mika, en Søn af Zakkur, en Søn af Asaf,
36 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;
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;
37 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.
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.
38 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;
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
39 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.
og videre over Efraimsporten, den gamle Port, Fiskeporten, Hanan'eltårnet og Meatårnet til Fåreporten og stillede sig op i Fængselsporten.
40 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;
Derpå stillede de to Lovprisningstog sig op i Guds Hus, jeg sammen med Halvdelen af Øversterne
41 and the priests, Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with trumpets;
og Præsterne Eljakim, Ma'aseja, Minjamin, Mika, Eljoenaj, Zekarja, Hananja med Trompeter,
42 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.
endvidere Ma'aseja, Sjemaja, El'azar, Uzzi, Johanan, Malkija, Elam og Ezer. Og Sangerne stemte i, ledede af Jizraja.
43 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.
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.
44 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.
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;
45 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.
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.
46 For in the days of David and Asaph of old there were chief of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving unto God.
Thi allerede på Davids Tid var Asaf Leder for Sangerne og for Lov- og Takkesangene til Gud.
47 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.
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.
