And they sacrificed on the day that sacrifices great and they rejoiced for God he had made rejoice them joy great and also the women and the children they rejoiced and it was heard [the] rejoicing of Jerusalem from a distance.
44 Siku hiyo watu waliteuliwa juu ya nyumba ya hazina kwa ajili ya michango, matunda ya kwanza, na zaka, ili kuzikusanya ndani yao sehemu zinazohitajika katika sheria za makuhani na Walawi. Kila mmoja aliteuliwa kufanya kazi mashambani karibu na miji. Kwa maana Yuda alifurahi juu ya makuhani na Walawi waliokuwa wamesimama mbele yao.
And they were appointed on the day that men over the rooms for the stores for the contributions for the first [fruit] and for the tithes to gather in them to [the] fields of the cities [the] portions of the law for the priests and for the Levites for [the] joy of Judah [was] on the priests and on the Levites who were standing.
45 Walifanya utumishi wa Mungu wao, na huduma ya utakaso, kwa mujibu wa amri ya Daudi na ya mwanawe Sulemani, na hivyo
And they kept [the] service of God their and [the] service of purification and the singers and the gatekeepers according to [the] command of David Solomon son his.
46 Zamani za kale, katika siku za Daudi na Asafu, kulikuwa na wasimamizi wa waimbaji, na kulikuwa na nyimbo za sifa na shukrani kwa Mungu.
For in [the] days of David and Asaph from antiquity ([the] leaders of *Q(K)*) the singers and [the] song of praise and thanksgiving to God.
47 Katika siku za Zerubabeli na katika siku za Nehemia, Israeli wote walitoa sehemu za kila siku kwa waimbaji na walinzi wa mlango. Wakaweka pembeni sehemu ya Walawi, na Walawi waliweka sehemu ya wana wa Haruni.
