²⁷举行新城墙奉献典礼耶路撒冷城墙举行奉献典礼的时候，众民在各地寻找利未人，带他们到耶路撒冷来，要他们称谢、歌唱、敲钹、弹琴鼓瑟，欢欢喜喜地举行奉献典礼。

²⁷At 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 giving thanks, and with singing, with cymbals, stringed instruments, and with harps.

²⁸歌唱者从耶路撒冷四围的平原，从尼陀法的村庄，

²⁸The sons of the singers gathered themselves together, both out of the plain around Jerusalem, and from the villages of the Netophathites;

²⁹从伯．吉甲，从迦巴和押玛弗的田庄聚集前来；因为歌唱者在耶路撒冷四围为自己建造村庄。

²⁹also from Beth Gilgal, and out of the fields of Geba and Azmaveth: for the singers had built them villages around Jerusalem.

³⁰祭司和利未人洁净了自己，然后洁净民众，以及城门和城墙。

³⁰The priests and the Levites purified themselves; and they purified the people, and the gates, and the wall.

³¹我带领犹大的领袖上了城墙，组织了两大队颂赞的人，一队在城墙右边，向着粪门前进，

³¹Then I brought up the princes of Judah on the wall, and appointed two great companies who gave thanks and went in procession. One went on the right hand on the wall toward the dung gate;

³²跟随他们后面的是何沙雅和犹大的一半领袖；

³²and after them went Hoshaiah, and half of the princes of Judah,

³³还有亚撒利雅、以斯拉、米书兰、

³³and Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam,

³⁴犹大、便雅悯、示玛雅、耶利米；

³⁴Judah, and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah,

³⁵还有拿着号筒的祭司：约拿单的儿子撒迦利亚；约拿单是示玛雅的儿子，示玛雅是玛他尼的儿子，玛他尼是米该亚的儿子，米该亚是撒刻的儿子，撒刻是亚萨的儿子；

³⁵and certain of the priests’ sons with trumpets: Zechariah the son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Micaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph;

³⁶他的兄弟示玛雅、亚撒利、米拉莱、基拉莱、玛艾、拿但业、犹大、哈拿尼拿着神人大卫的乐器。经学家以斯拉走在他们前面，

³⁶and his brothers, Shemaiah, and Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, and Judah, Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God; and Ezra the scribe was before them.

³⁷他们到了泉门，就登上大卫城的台阶，随着城墙的升势，经过大卫的宫殿，走到东边的水门。

³⁷By the spring gate, and straight before 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第二队颂赞的人往左边行，我和一半的人民跟着他们，在城墙上过了炉楼，直走到宽墙，

³⁸The other company of those who gave thanks went to meet them, and I after them, with the half of the people, on the wall, above the tower of the furnaces, even to the broad wall,

³⁹过了以法莲门、古门、鱼门、哈楠业楼、哈米亚楼，直到羊门，就在护卫院的门前站住。

³⁹and above the gate of Ephraim, and by the old gate, and by the fish gate, and the tower of Hananel, and the tower of Hammeah, even to the sheep gate: and they stood still in the gate of the guard.

⁴⁰于是这两队颂赞的人就站在　神的殿里，我和一半的官长也站在那里；

⁴⁰So stood the two companies of those who gave thanks in God’s house, and I, and the half of the rulers with me;

⁴¹祭司以利亚金、玛西雅、米拿尼、米该雅、以利约乃、撒迦利亚和哈楠尼亚，拿着号筒；

⁴¹and the priests, Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with trumpets;

⁴²又有玛西雅、示玛雅、以利亚撒、乌西、约哈难、玛基雅、以拦和以谢；歌唱者在伊斯拉希雅领导下，高声歌唱。

⁴²and Maaseiah, and Shemaiah, and Eleazar, and Uzzi, and Jehohanan, and Malchijah, and Elam, and Ezer. The singers sang loud, with Jezrahiah their overseer.

⁴³那一天，众人献上极大的祭祀，而且非常欢乐，因为　神使他们大大欢乐；连妇女和孩童也都欢乐；耶路撒冷欢乐的声音在老远的地方都可以听见。

⁴³They offered great sacrifices that day, and rejoiced; for God had made them rejoice with great joy; and the women also and the children rejoiced: so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard even afar off.

⁴⁴储备利未人和祭司所需的那时，有一些人被委派管理存放举祭、初熟之物和十分之一供物的库房，把各城的田地，照着律法所规定归给祭司和利未人的部分收集到那里。犹大人为侍立供职的祭司和利未人欢乐。

⁴⁴On that day were men appointed over the rooms for the treasures, for the wave offerings, for the first fruits, and for the tithes, to gather into them, according to the fields of the cities, the portions appointed by the law for the priests and Levites: for Judah rejoiced for the priests and for the Levites who waited.

⁴⁵祭司和利未人谨守他们的　神所吩咐的，谨守洁净的礼；歌唱者和守门的也照着大卫和他的儿子所罗门的命令去行，

⁴⁵They performed the duty of their God, and the duty of the purification, and so did the singers and the porters, according to the commandment of David, and of Solomon his son.

⁴⁶因为远在大卫和亚萨的时代，已有诗班长，并且有赞美称颂　神的诗歌。

⁴⁶For in the days of David and Asaph of old there was a chief of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving to God.

⁴⁷在所罗巴伯和尼希米的日子，以色列众人把歌唱的和守门的每日应得的分供给他们；又把分别为圣的分给利未人；而利未人也把分别为圣的分给亚伦的子孙。

⁴⁷All Israel in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah, gave the portions of the singers and the porters, as every day required: and they set apart that which was for the Levites; and the Levites set apart that which was for the sons of Aaron.
