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.
28 Då samla songar-sønerne seg frå kverven kring Jerusalem og frå netofatitgardarne,

29 frå Bet-Haggilgal og frå landet kring Geba og Azmavet; songarane hadde bygt seg gardar rundt ikring Jerusalem.
Also from the house of Gilgal, and from the fields of Geba and Azmaveth: for the singers had built them villages around 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 I brought up the princes of Judah upon the wall, and appointed two great [companies of them that gave] thanks, [of which one] went on the right hand upon the wall towards the dung-gate:

And his brethren, Shemaiah, and Azarael, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethaneel, and Judah, Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God, and 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 at the fountain-gate, which was over against them, they went up by the stairs of the city of David, at the ascent of the wall, above the house of David, even to 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 other [company of them that gave] thanks went over against [them], and I after them, and the half of the people upon the wall, from beyond the tower of the furnaces even to the broad wall;
39 yver Efraimsporten, Gamleporten og Fiskeporten, gjenom Hananeltårnet og Hammeatårnet, heilt fram til Saueporten. Dei stana ved Fengselsporten.
And from above the gate of Ephraim, and above the old gate, and above the fish-gate, and the tower of Hananeel, and the tower of Meah, even to the sheep-gate: and they stood still in the prison-gate.
40 So stelte dei seg upp i Guds hus båe songkorarne; like eins eg og helvti av formennerne med meg,
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:
41 og prestarne Eljakim, Ma’aseja, Minjamin, Mikaja, Eljoenai, Zakarja og Hananja med lurar,
And the priests; Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Michaiah, 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 singers sang loud, with Jezrahiah [their] overseer.
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.
Also that day they offered great sacrifices, and rejoiced: for God had made them rejoice with great joy: the wives also and the children rejoiced: so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard even 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 at that time were some appointed over the chambers for the treasures, for the offerings, for the first-fruits, and for the tithes, to gather into them out of the fields of the cities the portions of the law for the priests and Levites: for Judah rejoiced for the priests and for the Levites that waited.
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;
And both the singers and the porters kept the ward of their God, and the ward of the purification, 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] chief of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving to 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.
And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah, gave the portions of the singers and the porters, every day his portion: and they sanctified [holy things] to the Levites; and the Levites sanctified [them] to the children of Aaron.
