27 Då muren kring Jerusalem skulde verta vigd, henta dei levitarne frå alle bustaderne deira og førde deim til Jerusalem, til å halda vigsla og gledehøgtid med lov og song, med cymblar og harpor og cithrar.
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 and the rejoicing, both with thanksgiving and with music, cymbals, harps, and with lyres.
28 Då samla songar-sønerne seg frå kverven kring Jerusalem og frå netofatitgardarne,
So the sons of the singers gathered themselves together, —both out of the circuit round about Jerusalem, and out of the villages of the Netophathites;
29 frå Bet-Haggilgal og frå landet kring Geba og Azmavet; songarane hadde bygt seg gardar rundt ikring Jerusalem.
also out of Beth-gilgal, and out of the fields of Geba, and Azmaveth, —for, villages, had the singers builded for themselves, round about Jerusalem.
30 Prestarne og levitarne reinsa seg, og dei reinsa folket og portarne og muren.
And the priests and the Levites purified themselves, —and purified the people, and the gates, and the wall.
31 Eg let hovdingarne i Juda stiga upp på muren. So skipa eg tvo store songkorar og festferder. Den eine gjekk til høgre uppå muren fram mot Møkporten.
Then brought I up the rulers of Judah upon the wall, —and I appointed two large choirs, even to go in procession to the right, upon the wall, towards the dung-gate;
32 Etter dei gjekk Hosaja og den eine helvti av Juda-hovdingarne,
and after them went Hoshaiah, and half the rulers of Judah;
33 og so Azarja, Ezra, Mesullam,
then Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam;
34 Juda, Benjamin, Semaja og Jeremia,
Judah, and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah;
35 like eins nokre av prestesønerne med lurar; dinæst Zakarja, son åt Jonatan, son åt Semaja, son åt Mattanja, son åt Mikaja, son åt Zakkur, son åt Asaf,
and, of the sons of the priests, with trumpets, Zechariah—son of Jonathan—son of Shemaiah—son of Mattaniah, son of Micaiah, son of Zaccur, son of Asaph;
36 og so brørne hans: Semaja, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Ma’ai, Netanel, Juda, og Hanani med spelgognerne åt gudsmannen David. Den skriftlærde Ezra gjekk fyre deim.
and his brethren—Shemaiah and Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, and Judah, Hanani, with the instruments of music of David, the man of God, —with Ezra the scribe before them;
37 Dei gjekk yver Kjeldeporten og beint upp tropperne til Davidsbyen, der ein stig upp på muren ovanfor Davidshuset, heilt fram til Vatsporten i aust.
and, over they 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 as far as the water-gate, eastward.
38 Den andre songkoren gjekk til vinstre, og der fylgde eg og den andre helvti av folket uppå muren, yver Omnstårnet burt til den breide muren,
And, the second choir, was going over against them, I, following it, —with the half of the people upon the wall, above the tower of the ovens, even as far as the broad wall;
39 yver Efraimsporten, Gamleporten og Fiskeporten, gjenom Hananeltårnet og Hammeatårnet, heilt fram til Saueporten. Dei stana ved Fengselsporten.
and above the gate of Ephraim, and upon the old gate, and upon the fish-gate, and the tower of Hananel, and the tower of Hammeah, even as far as the sheep-gate, —and they came to a stand, at the gate of the guard.
40 So stelte dei seg upp i Guds hus båe songkorarne; like eins eg og helvti av formennerne med meg,
So the two choirs, came to a stand, at the house of God, —and I, and half the deputies with me;
41 og prestarne Eljakim, Ma’aseja, Minjamin, Mikaja, Eljoenai, Zakarja og Hananja med lurar,
and, the priests—Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with trumpets;
42 og Ma’aseja, Semaja, Eleazar, Uzzi, Johanan, Malkia, Elam og Ezer. Og songarane let songen ljoma, og føraren deira var Jizrahja.
and Maaseiah and Shemaiah and Eleazar and Uzzi and Jehohanan and Malchijah and Elam and Ezer, —and the musicians sounded, aloud with Jezrahiah who was over them.
43 Dei ofra den dagen store offer og gledde seg; for Gud hadde kveikt gleda hjå folket; ogso kvinnorne og borni gledde seg. Og gleda frå Jerusalem høyrdest langan leid.
And they sacrificed, on that day, great sacrifices, and rejoiced, for, God, had caused them to rejoice with great joy, moreover also, the women and children, rejoiced, —so that the rejoicing of Jerusalem was heard afar off.
44 Samstundes vart det uppnemt menner til å hava tilsyn med upplagsromi for reidorne, fyrstegrøda og tiendi, til å gøyma der det som lovi heimla prestarne og levitarne frå bymarkerne. Dei var fegne i Juda for at prestarne og levitarne gjorde tenesta.
And there were set in charge, on that day, certain men, over the chambers for the treasures, for the heave-offerings, for the firstfruits, and for the tithes, to gather into them, out of the fields of the cities, the portions appointed by the law, for the priests, and for the Levites, —for, the joy of Judah, was over the priests and over the Levites, who were remaining.
45 Og dei tok vare på det som var til å taka vare på ved gudstenesta og reinsingarne. Like eins gjorde songarane og portvaktarane sine tenestor, soleis som David og Salomo, son hans, hadde bode;
So they kept the charge of their God, and the charge of the purification, and [so did] the singers and the doorkeepers, —according to the commandment of David and of Solomon his son.
46 for alt i gamall tid, i Davids dagar, og songarhovdingen Asafs dagar, ljoda lovsongar og takkesongar til Gud.
For, in the days of David and Asaph, of old, there were chiefs of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving, unto God.
47 Og i Zerubbabels og Nehemias dagar gav heile Israel songarane og portvaktarane dei reidorne dei skulde hava frå dag til annan. Levitarne fekk sine heilage gåvor, og dei reidde ut heilage gåvor til Arons-sønerne.
Now, all Israel—in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah, used to give the portions of the singers and the doorkeepers, the need of a day upon its day, —and they hallowed them unto the Levites, and, the Levites, hallowed them unto the sons of Aaron.
