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

²³The sons of Levi, heads of fathers’ households, 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

³⁰The priests and the Levites purified themselves; and they 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 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;

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: 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;

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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,

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 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.

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 those who gave thanks in God’s house, 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, Micaiah, 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. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 was a chief of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving to 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.

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.

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.
