²²V dneh Eliasiba, Jojada, Johanana in Jadua so bili zapisani poglavarji očetovin levitov in duhovnikov, ob vladanju Darija Peržana.

²³The sons of Levi, the chief of the fathers, were written in the book of the chronicles, even until the days of Johanan the son of Eliashib.

²³Sinovi Levijevi, poglavarji očetovin, so bili zapisani v knjigi letopisov, do dni Johanana, sinu Eliasibovega.

²⁴And the chief of the Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua the son of Kadmiel, with their brethren over against them, to praise and to give thanks, according to the commandment of David the man of God, ward over against ward.

²⁴In poglavarji levitov: Hasabija, Serebija in Jesua (sin) Kadmiela in njih bratje, njim nasproti, da hvalijo in zahvaljujejo po zapovedi Davida, moža Božjega, službeni oddelki drug za drugim.

²⁵Matanija in Bakbukija, Obadija, Mesulam, Talmon, Akub so bili vratarji, stoječi na straži pri skladiščih ob vratih.

²⁶These were in the days of Joiakim the son of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor, and of Ezra the priest, the scribe.

²⁶Ti so bili v dneh Jojakima, sinu Jesua, sinu Jozadaka, in v dneh Nehemija, deželnega oblastnika, in Ezra duhovnika, pismouka.

²⁷And 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.

²⁷In ob posvečevanju obzidja jeruzalemskega so poiskali levite iz vseh njih mest, da bi jih pripeljali v Jeruzalem, da se praznuje posvečevanje z veseljem in z zahvaljevanjem in s petjem, s cimbali, s psalmovimi strunami in s harfami.

²⁸And the sons of the singers gathered themselves together, both out of the plain country round about Jerusalem, and from the villages of Netophathi;

²⁸In sinovi pevcev so se zbrali iz vse okolice jeruzalemske in tudi iz netofatskih vasi

²⁹Also from the house of Gilgal, and out of the fields of Geba and Azmaveth: for the singers had builded them villages round about Jerusalem.

²⁹in iz Betgilgala in s poljan Gebe in Azmaveta; zakaj pevci so si zgradili sela okoli Jeruzalema.

³⁰And the priests and the Levites purified themselves, and purified the people, and the gates, and the wall.

³⁰In duhovniki in leviti so se očistili, in očistili so ljudstvo in vrata in obzidje.

³¹Then I brought up the princes of Judah upon the wall, and appointed two great companies of them that gave thanks, whereof one went on the right hand upon the wall toward the dung gate:

³¹In velel sem knezom Judovim stopiti na obzidje, in postavil sem dva velika zahvalna zbora in priredil obhod: eden je šel na desno, gori po obzidju, proti Gnojnim vratom.

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

³²In za njimi je šel Hosaja in polovica knezov Judovih,

³³And Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam,

³³in Azarija, Ezra, Mesulam,

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

³⁴Juda, Benjamin, Semaja in Jeremija,

³⁵And certain of the priests' sons with trumpets; namely, Zechariah the son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Michaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph:

³⁵in nekoliko duhovniških sinov s trobentami: Zeharija, sin Jonatana, sinu Semaja, sinu Matanija, sinu Mika, sinu Zakurija, sinu Asafa,

³⁶And 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.

³⁶in bratje njegovi: Semaja, Azarel, Milalaj, Gilalaj, Maaj, Netanel, Juda, Hanani, z glasbili Davida, moža Božjega, in Ezra pismouk je bil pred njimi.

³⁷And at the fountain gate, which was over against 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 unto the water gate eastward.

³⁷In šli so proti Studenčnim vratom, in so stopali naravnost naprej po stopnicah mesta Davidovega, koder se hodi gori na zid, zgoraj nad Davidovo hišo, prav do Vodnih vrat proti vzhodu.

³⁸And 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 unto the broad wall;

³⁸Drugi zahvalni zbor pa jim je šel naproti, in jaz za njim s polovico ljudstva, vrhu obzidja, nad Pečnim stolpom ven do širokega zidu,

³⁹And 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 unto the sheep gate: and they stood still in the prison gate.

³⁹in nad Efraimovimi vrati in čez Stara vrata in čez Ribja vrata in stolp Hananel in stolp Mea tja do Ovčjih vrat, in obstali so pri vratih jetnišnice.

⁴⁰So stood the two companies of them that gave thanks in the house of God, and I, and the half of the rulers with me:

⁴⁰Tako sta stala obadva zahvalna zbora ob hiši Božji in jaz in polovica načelnikov ljudstva z menoj –

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

⁴¹in duhovniki: Eliakim, Maaseja, Minjamin, Mihaja, Eljoenaj, Zeharija in Hananija s trobentami,

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

⁴²in Maaseja, Semaja, Eleazar, Uzi, Johanan, Malkija, Elam in Ezer. In pevci so glasno peli, in Jizrahija je bil njih vodja.

⁴³Also 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.

⁴³In tisti dan so darovali velike žrtve in se veselili; kajti Bog jih je obveselil z veliko radostjo, da so se tudi žene in otroci veselili. In jeruzalemsko veselje se je daleč slišalo.

⁴⁴And at that time were some appointed over the chambers for the treasures, for the offerings, for the firstfruits, 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.

⁴⁴V tistem času so bili možje postavljeni čez shrambe za zaklade, za dari povzdignjenja, za prvine in za desetine, da spravljajo vanje po obmestnih njivah, deleže, določene po postavi za duhovnike in levite; zakaj Juda se je veselil duhovnikov in levitov, ki so stali v službi.

⁴⁵And 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.

⁴⁵In stregli so v straži Boga svojega in pazili na očiščevanje; enako tudi pevci in vratarji, po zapovedi Davida in Salomona, sinu njegovega.

⁴⁶For in the days of David and Asaph of old there were chief of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving unto God.

⁴⁶Kajti nekdaj v dneh Davidovih in Asafovih, so bili načelniki pevcev in hvalopetja in zahvale Bogu.In ves Izrael je v dneh Zerubabelovih in v dneh Nehemijevih dajal delež pevcem in vratarjem, kolikor je bilo treba vsak dan; in so del tega posvečevali levitom, in leviti so del posvečevali sinovom Aronovim.

⁴⁷And 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 unto the Levites; and the Levites sanctified them unto the children of Aaron.

⁴⁷In ves Izrael je v dneh Zerubabelovih in v dneh Nehemijevih dajal delež pevcem in vratarjem, kolikor je bilo treba vsak dan; in so del tega posvečevali levitom, in leviti so del posvečevali sinovom Aronovim.
