And in the dedication of the wall at Ierusalem they sought the Leuites out of all their places to bring them to Ierusalem to keepe the dedication and gladnes, both with thankesgiuings and with songs, cymbales, violes and with harpes.

And from the house of Gilgal, and out of the countreis of Geba, and Azmaueth: for the singers had built them villages round about Ierusalem.

37 Langasesangweni lomthombo, njalo maqondana labo, benyuka ngezinyathelo zomuzi kaDavida, emqansweni womduli, ngaphezu kwendlu kaDavida, kusiya esangweni lamanzi ngempumalanga.

And to the gate of the fountaine, euen ouer against them went they vp by the staires of the citie of Dauid, at the going vp of the wall beyond the house of Dauid, euen vnto the water gate Eastward.

38 Lexuku lesibili lokubonga lahamba maqondana lalo, lami ngililandela, lengxenye yabantu phezu komduli, kusukela ngaphezu komphotshongo wesithando kusiya emdulini obanzi,

And the seconde companie of them that gaue thankes, went on the other side, and I after them, and the halfe of the people was vpon the wall, and vpon the towre of the furnaces euen vnto the broad wall.

39 njalo kusukela ngaphezu kwesango lakoEfrayimi, langaphezu kwesango elidala, langaphezu kwesango lenhlanzi, lomphotshongo kaHananeli, lomphotshongo kaHameha, kusiya esangweni lezimvu; bema-ke esangweni labalindi.

40 Womabili amaxuku okubonga asesima endlini kaNkulunkulu, lami, lengxenye yababusi ilami.

So stood the two companies (of them that gaue thankes) in the house of God, and I and the halfe of the rulers with me.

41 Labapristi: OEliyakhimi, uMahaseya, uMiniyamini, uMikhaya, uEliyowenayi, uZekhariya, uHananiya, belezimpondo,

The Priests also, Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Michaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, Hananiah, with trumpets,

42 loMahaseya, loShemaya, loEleyazare, loUzi, loJehohanani, loMalikiya, loElamu, loEzeri. Abahlabeleli basebezizwakalisa, loJezerahiya umboni.

And Maaseiah, and Shemaiah, and Eleazar, and Vzzi, and Iehohanan, and Malchiiah, and Elam, and Ezer: and the singers sang loude, hauing Izrahiah which was the ouerseer.

43 Basebehlaba mhlalokho imihlatshelo emikhulu, bathokoza, ngoba uNkulunkulu wabenza bathokoza ngentokozo enkulu; labesifazana labantwana labo bathokoza; kwaze kwathi intokozo yeJerusalema yezwakala khatshana.

And the same day they offered great sacrifices and reioyced: for God had giuen them great ioy, so that both the women, and the children were ioyfull: and the ioy of Ierusalem was heard farre off.

44 Ngalolosuku kwamiswa-ke amadoda phezu kwamakamelo okuligugu, aweminikelo, awezithelo zokuqala, lawokwetshumi, ukuqoqela kuwo okuvela emasimini emizi izabelo zomlayo zabapristi lezamaLevi. Ngoba uJuda wathokoza ngabapristi lamaLevi ayemile.

Also at the same time were men appointed ouer the chambers of the store for the offerings (for the first fruites, and for the tithes) to gather into them out of the fieldes of the cities, the portions of the Law for the Priests and the Leuites: for Iudah reioyced for the Priests and for the Leuites, that serued.

45 Abahlabeleli labalindimasango basebegcina imfanelo kaNkulunkulu wabo, lemfanelo yokuhlambulula, njengomlayo kaDavida loSolomoni indodana yakhe.

And both the singers and the Leuites kept the ward of their God, and the warde of the purification according to the commandement of Dauid, and Salomon his sonne.

46 Ngoba ensukwini zamandulo zikaDavida loAsafi kwakulezinhloko zabahlabeleli lezingoma zokudumisa lokubonga kuNkulunkulu.

For in the dayes of Dauid and Asaph, of olde were chiefe singers, and songs of praise and thankesgiuing vnto God.

47 LoIsrayeli wonke ensukwini zikaZerubhabheli lensukwini zikaNehemiya banika izabelo zabahlabeleli labalindimasango, udaba losuku ngosuku lwalo; basebekungcwelisela amaLevi, lamaLevi akungcwelisela abantwana bakoAroni.

And in the dayes of Zerubbabel, and in the dayes of Nehemiah did al Israel giue portions vnto the singers and porters, euerie day his portion, and they gaue the holy things vnto the Leuites, and the Leuites gaue the holy things vnto the sonnes of Aaron.
