²³Af Levis Efterkommere optegnedes Overhovederne for Fædrenehusene i Krønikebogen ned til Johanans, Eljasjibs Søns, Dage.

²⁴The chiefs of the Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua the son of Kadmiel, with their brothers over against them, to praise and give thanks, according to the commandment of David the man of God, watch next to watch.

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.

²⁷Da Jerusalems Mur skulde indvies opsøgte man Leviterne alle Vegne, hvor de boede, og bragte dem til Jerusalem, for at de skulde fejre Indvielsen med Fryd og Takkesang, med Sang, Cymbler, Harper og Citre.

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

²⁸Da samledes Sangerne fra Egnen om Jerusalem og fra Netofatifernes Landsbyer,

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

²⁹fra Bet-Gilgal, fra Gebas og Azmavets Marker; thi Sangerne havde bygget sig Landsbyer rundt om Jerusalem.

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

³⁰Da Præsterne og Leviterne havde renset sig, rensede de Folket, Portene og Muren.

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;

³¹Så lod jeg Judas Øverster stige op på Muren og opstillede to store Lovprisningstog. Det ene drog til højre oven på Muren ad Møgporten til,

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

³²og med det fulgte Hosjaja og den ene Halvdel af Judas Øverster;

³³and Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam,

³³dernæst nogle af Præsterne med Trompeter, Azarja, Ezra, Mesjullam,

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

³⁴Juda, Benjamin, Sjemaja og Jirmeja;

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;

³⁵endvidere Zekarja, en Søn af Jonatan, en Søn af Sjemaja, en Søn af Mattanja, en Søn af Mika, en Søn af Zakkur, en Søn af Asaf,

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.

³⁶og hans Brødre Sjemaja, Azar'el, Milalaj, Gilalaj, Ma'aj, Netan'el, Juda, Hanani med den Guds Mand Davids Musikinstrumenter, med Ezra den Skriftlærde i Spidsen;

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.

³⁷og de gik over Kildeporten; derpå gik de lige ud op ad Trinene til Davidsbyen, ad Opgangen på Muren oven for Davids Palads hen til Vandporten mod Øst.

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,

³⁸Det andet Lovprisningstog, hvor jeg og den anden Halvdel af Folkets Øverster var med, drog til venstre oven på Muren, over Ovntårnet til den brede Mur

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.

³⁹og videre over Efraimsporten, den gamle Port, Fiskeporten, Hanan'eltårnet og Meatårnet til Fåreporten og stillede sig op i Fængselsporten.

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

⁴⁰Derpå stillede de to Lovprisningstog sig op i Guds Hus, jeg sammen med Halvdelen af Øversterne

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

⁴¹og Præsterne Eljakim, Ma'aseja, Minjamin, Mika, Eljoenaj, Zekarja, Hananja med Trompeter,

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

⁴²endvidere Ma'aseja, Sjemaja, El'azar, Uzzi, Johanan, Malkija, Elam og Ezer. Og Sangerne stemte i, ledede af Jizraja.

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.

⁴³På den Dag ofrede de store Slagtofre og var glade, thi Gud havde bragt dem stor Glæde; også Kvinderne og Børnene var glade; og Glæden i Jerusalem hørtes langt bort.

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.

⁴⁴På den Dag indsattes der Mænd til at have Tilsyn med de Kamre, der brugtes til Forrådene, Offerydelserne, Førstegrøden og Tienden, for i dem at opsamle de i Loven foreskrevne Afgifter til Præsterne og Leviterne fra de forskellige Bymarker, thi Juda glædede sig over Præsterne og Leviterne, der gjorde tjeneste;

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.

⁴⁵og disse tog Vare på, hvad der var at varetage for deres Gud og ved Renselsen, ligesom også Sangerne og Dørvogterne gjorde deres Gerning efter Davids og hans Søn Salomos Bud.

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.

⁴⁶Thi allerede på Davids Tid var Asaf Leder for Sangerne og for Lov- og Takkesangene til Gud.

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.

⁴⁷Hele Israel gav på Zerubbabels og Nehemias's Tid Afgifter til Sangerne og Dørvogterne, efter som det krævedes Dag for Dag; og de gav Leviterne Helliggaver, og Leviterne gav Arons Sønner Helliggaver.
