8 Moreover the Levites: Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, [and] Mattaniah, which was over the thanksgiving, he and his brethren.
Men Leviterne vare: Jesua, Binnuj, Kadmiel, Serebja, Juda, Matthanja; han og hans Brødre forestode Lovsangen.
9 Also Bakbukiah and Unno, their brethren, were over against them in wards.
Og Bakbukja og Unni, deres Brødre, holdt Vagt tillige med dem.
10 And Jeshua begat Joiakim, and Joiakim begat Eliashib, and Eliashib begat Joiada,
Og Jesua avlede Jojakim, og Jojakim avlede Eliasib, og Eliasib avlede Jojada,
11 and Joiada begat Jonathan, and Jonathan begat Jaddua.
og Jojada avlede Jonathan, og Jonathan avlede Jaddua.

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.
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 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.
Levi Børn, Øversterne for Fædrenehusene, bleve opskrevne i Krønikebogen, og det indtil Johanans, Eliasibs 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 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, and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub, were porters keeping the ward at the storehouses of the gates.
Matthanja og Bakbukja, Obadja, Mesullam, Thaimon og Akku, de havde Vagt som Portnere ved Skatkamrene i Portene.
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 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 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.
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 And the sons of the singers gathered themselves together, both out of the plain round about Jerusalem, and from the villages of the Netophathites;
Og Sangernes Børn samledes, baade fra Omegnen trindt omkring Jerusalem og fra Netofatiternes 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.
og fra Gilgals Hus og fra Markerne ved Geba og Asmaveth; thi Sangerne havde bygget sig Landsbyer trindt omkring Jerusalem.
30 And the priests and the Levites purified themselves; and they purified the people, and the gates, and the wall.
Og Præsterne og Leviterne rensede sig, og de rensede Folket og 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; [whereof one went] on the right hand upon the wall 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 and after them went Hoshaiah, and half of the princes of Judah,
og Hosaja og Halvdelen af Judas Fyrster gik efter dem,
33 and Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam,
og Asaria, Esra og Mesullam,
34 Judah, and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah,
Juda og Benjamin og Semaja og Jeremia
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;
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 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: Semaja og Asareel, Milalaj, Gilalaj, Maaj, Nethaneel og Juda, Hanani, med Davids, Guds Mands, Sanginstrumenter; og Esra, den skriftlærde, foran dem.
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 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 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;
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 and above the gate of Ephraim, and by the old gate, 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 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 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:
Saa stode da de to Taksigelseskor ved Guds Hus og jeg og Halvdelen af Forstanderne med mig,
41 and the priests, Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with trumpets;
og Præsterne: Eliakim, Maeseja, Minjamin, Mikaja, Elioenaj, Sakaria, Hanania, med Basunerne,
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.
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 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.
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 day were men appointed over the chambers for the treasures, for the heave offerings, for the firstfruits, 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 waited.
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 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 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 in the days of David and Asaph of old there was a chief of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving unto God.
Thi i Davids og i Asafs Dage, fra fordums Tid var der Øverster for Sangerne og Lovsangen og Taksigelserne 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 sanctified for the Levites; and the Levites sanctified for the sons 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.
