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.

And the sons of the singers gathered themselves together, both out of the Plain round about Jerusalem, and from the villages of the Netophathites;

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.

38 et chorus secundus gratias referentium ibat ex adverso et ego post eum et media pars populi super murum et super turrem Furnorum et usque ad murum latissimum

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;

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.

and the priests, Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with trumpets;

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.

43 et immolaverunt in die illa victimas magnas et laetati sunt Deus enim laetificaverat eos laetitia magna sed et uxores eorum et liberi gavisi sunt et audita est laetitia Hierusalem procul

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.

44 recensuerunt quoque in die illa viros super gazofilacia thesauri ad libamina et ad primitias et ad decimas ut introferrent per eos principes civitatis in decore gratiarum actionis sacerdotes et Levitas quia laetatus est Iuda in sacerdotibus et Levitis adstantibus

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.

45 et custodierunt observationem Dei sui et observationem expiationis et cantores et ianitores iuxta praeceptum David et Salomonis filii eius

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.

46 quia in diebus David et Asaph ab exordio erant principes constituti cantorum in carmine laudantium et confitentium Deo

For in the days of David and Asaph of old there were chief of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving unto God.

47 et omnis Israhel in diebus Zorobabel et in diebus Neemiae dabat partes cantoribus et ianitoribus per dies singulos et sanctificabant Levitas et Levitae sanctificabant filios Aaron

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.
