And the singers were heard, and were numbered.

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 in that day they offered great sacrifices, and rejoiced; for God had made them very joyful: and their wives and their children rejoiced: and the joy in Jerusalem was heard from 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 in that day they appointed men over the treasuries, for the treasures, the first fruits, and the tithes, and [for] the chiefs of the cities who were assembled among them, [to furnish] portions for the priests and Levites: for [there was] joy in Juda over the priests and over the Levites that waited.

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

And they kept the charges of their God, and the charges of the purification, and [ordered] the singers and the porters, according to the commandments of David and his son Solomon.

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 Asaph was originally first of the singers, and [they sang] hymns and praise to 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 Zorobabel, and in the days of Neemias, gave the portions of the singers and the porters, a daily rate: and consecrated them to the Levites: and the Levites consecrated them to the sons of Aaron.
