22 As for the Levites, in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, Johanan, and Jaddua, there were recorded the heads of fathers’ households; also the priests, in the reign of Darius the Persian.
Blandt Leviterne bleve i Eliasibs, Jojadas og Johanans og Jadduas Dage Øversterne for Fædrenehusene opskrevne, saa og iblandt Præsterne indtil Perseren Darius's Regering.
23 The 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.
Levi Børn, Øversterne for Fædrenehusene, bleve opskrevne i Krønikebogen, og det indtil Johanans, Eliasibs Søns, Dage.
24 The chiefs of the Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua the son of Kadmiel, with their brothers close to them, to praise and give thanks according to the commandment of David the man of God, section next to section.
Og Leviternes Øverster vare: Hasabja, Serebja og Jesua, Kadmiels Søn, og deres Brødre vare tillige med dem for at love og at takke efter Davids den Guds Mands Befaling, den ene Vagt saavel som den anden.
25 Mattaniah, Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, and Akkub were gatekeepers keeping the watch at the storehouses of the gates.
Matthanja og Bakbukja, Obadja, Mesullam, Thaimon og Akku, de havde Vagt som Portnere ved Skatkamrene i Portene.
26 These 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 and scribe.
Disse levede i Jojakims, Jesuas Søns, Dage, hans, som var en Søn af Jozadak, og i Fyrsten Nehemias og i Præsten Esras, den skriftlærdes, Dage.
27 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 giving thanks and with singing, with cymbals, stringed instruments, and with harps.
Og til Murenes Indvielse i Jerusalem opsøgte de Leviterne fra alle deres Steder for at føre dem til Jerusalem, at holde Indvielsen med Glæde og med Taksigelser og med Sang, Cymbler, Psaltre og Harper.
28 The sons of the singers gathered themselves together, both out of the plain around Jerusalem and from the villages of the Netophathites;
Og Sangernes Børn samledes, baade fra Omegnen trindt omkring Jerusalem og fra Netofatiternes Landsbyer
29 also from Beth Gilgal and out of the fields of Geba and Azmaveth, for the singers had built themselves villages around Jerusalem.
og fra Gilgals Hus og fra Markerne ved Geba og Asmaveth; thi Sangerne havde bygget sig Landsbyer trindt omkring Jerusalem.
30 The priests and the Levites purified themselves; and they purified the people, the gates, and the wall.
Og Præsterne og Leviterne rensede sig, og de rensede Folket og Portene og Muren.
31 Then I brought the princes of Judah up 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;
Og jeg lod Judas Fyrster opstige paa Muren, og jeg beskikkede to store Taksigelseskor og Optog: Det ene gik til den højre Side oven paa Muren til Møgporten,
32 and after them went Hoshaiah, with half of the princes of Judah,
og Hosaja og Halvdelen af Judas Fyrster gik efter dem,
33 and Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam,
og Asaria, Esra og Mesullam,
34 Judah, Benjamin, Shemaiah, Jeremiah,
Juda og Benjamin og Semaja og Jeremia
35 and some 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;
og nogle af Præsternes Børn med Basuner: Sakaria, en Søn af Jonathan, som var en Søn af Semaja, som var en Søn af Matthanja, en Søn af Mikaja, en Søn af Sakur, en Søn af Asaf;
36 and his brothers, Shemaiah, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, Judah, and Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God; and Ezra the scribe was before them.
og hans Brødre: Semaja og Asareel, Milalaj, Gilalaj, Maaj, Nethaneel og Juda, Hanani, med Davids, Guds Mands, Sanginstrumenter; og Esra, den skriftlærde, foran dem.
37 By the spring gate, and straight before them, they went up by the stairs of David’s city, at the ascent of the wall, above David’s house, even to the water gate eastward.
Og over Kildeporten og ligefrem for sig stege de op paa Trapperne til Davids Stad, ad Opgangen til Muren, hen op til Davids Hus, og indtil Vandporten imod Østen.
38 The 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 wide wall,
Og det andet Taksigelseskor gik i modsat Retning, og jeg efter det, og Halvdelen af Folket oven paa Muren, hen op til Ovntaarnet og indtil den brede Mur
39 and above the gate of Ephraim, and by the old gate, and by the fish gate, the tower of Hananel, and the tower of Hammeah, even to the sheep gate; and they stood still in the gate of the guard.
og over Efraims Port og over den gamle Port og over Fiskeporten og forbi Hananeels Taarn og Meas Taarn og indtil Faareporten; og de bleve staaende ved Vagtens Port.
40 So the two companies of those who gave thanks in God’s house stood, and I and the half of the rulers with me;
Saa stode da de to Taksigelseskor ved Guds Hus og jeg og Halvdelen af Forstanderne med mig,
41 and the priests, Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with trumpets;
og Præsterne: Eliakim, Maeseja, Minjamin, Mikaja, Elioenaj, Sakaria, Hanania, med Basunerne,
42 and Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malchijah, Elam, and Ezer. The singers sang loud, with Jezrahiah their overseer.
og Maeseja og Semaja og Eleasar og Ussi og Johanan og Malkia og Elam og Eser. Og Sangerne lode sig høre, og Jesraja var Formand.
43 They offered great sacrifices that day, and rejoiced, for God had made them rejoice with great joy; and the women and the children also rejoiced, so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard even far away.
Og de ofrede paa den samme Dag store Ofre og vare glade; thi Gud havde glædet dem med en stor Glæde, og endogsaa Kvinderne og Børnene glædede sig, saa at Jerusalems Glæde blev hørt indtil langt borte.
44 On that day, men were 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 served.
Og paa den samme Dag bleve Mænd beskikkede over Forraadskamrene, for Offergaverne, for Førstegrøden og for Tienderne, til at samle i dem af Agrene ved Stæderne de lovbestemte Dele til Præsterne og Leviterne; thi Juda havde Glæde over Præsterne og over Leviterne, som stode i deres Tjeneste.
45 They performed the duty of their God and the duty of the purification, and so did the singers and the gatekeepers, according to the commandment of David and of Solomon his son.
Og de toge Vare paa, hvad der var at varetage for deres Gud, og paa, hvad der var at varetage for Renselsen; og Sangerne og Portnerne vare der efter Davids og hans Søn Salomos Befaling.
46 For in the days of David and Asaph of old there was a chief of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving to God.
Thi i Davids og i Asafs Dage, fra fordums Tid var der Øverster for Sangerne og Lovsangen og Taksigelserne til Gud.
47 All Israel in the days of Zerubbabel and in the days of Nehemiah gave the portions of the singers and the gatekeepers, 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.
Men al Israel gav Sangerne og Portnerne Underhold i Serubabels Dage og Nehemias Dage, hvad de skulde have til hver Dag, og de helligede det til Leviterne, og Leviterne helligede det til Arons Sønner.
