Leviterne: Jesua, Binnuj, Kadmiel, Sjerebja, Juda, Mattanja, der sammen med sine Brødre forestod Lovsangen,
9 and Bakbukiah and Unno their brethren, were over against them, in wards.
medens Bakbukja og Unni sammen med deres Brødre stod over for dem efter deres Afdelinger.
10 And Jeshua, begat Joiakim, —and Joiakim, begat Eliashib, and, Eliashib, [begat] Joiada;
Jesua avlede Jojakim, Jojakim avlede Eljasjib, Eljasjib avlede Jojada,
11 and, Joiada, begat Jonathan, —and, Jonathan, begat Jaddua.

12 And, in the days of Joiakim, were priests, ancestral chiefs, —of Seraiah, Meraiah, of Jeremiah, Hananiah;
På Jojakims Tid var Overhovederne for Præsternes Fædrenehuse følgende: Meraja for Seraja, Hananja for Jirmeja,

Hasjabja for Hilkija og Netan'el for Jedaja.
22 The Levites—in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, and Johanan, and Jaddua, were recorded as ancestral chiefs, —also the priests, unto the reign of Darius the Persian.
Leviterne: .... I Eljasjibs, Jojadas, Johanans og Jadduas Dage optegnedes Overhovederne for Fædrenehusene og Præsterne indtil Perseren Darius's Regering.
23 the sons of Levi, ancestral heads, were written in the book of Chronicles, —even until the days of Johanan, son of Eliashib.
Af Levis Efterkommere optegnedes Overhovederne for Fædrenehusene i Krønikebogen ned til Johanans, Eljasjibs Søns, Dage.
24 And, the chiefs of the Levites, Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua son of Kadmiel, with their brethren over against them, to praise—to give thanks, by the commandment of David the man of God, —ward joined to ward.
Og Leviternes Overhoveder var: Hasjabja, Sjerebja, Jesua, Binnuj, Kadmiel og deres Brødte, der stod over for dem for at synge Lovsangen og Takkesangen efter den Guds Mand Davids Bud, den ene Afdeling efter den anden;
25 Mattaniah and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub, were watchers, doorkeepers of the ward, in the storehouses of the gates.
og Mattanja, Bakbukja og Obadja, Mesjullam, Talmon og Akkub var Dørvogtere og holdt Vagt ved Portenes Forrådskamre.
26 These, were in the days of Joiakim, son of Jeshua, son of Jozadak, —and in the days of Nehemiah the pasha, and Ezra the priest the scribe.
Disse var Overhoveder på Jojakims Tid, en Søn af Jesua, en Søn af Jozadak, og på Statholderen Nehemias's og Præsten Ezra den Skriftlærdes Tid.
27 And, 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 and the rejoicing, both with thanksgiving and with music, cymbals, harps, and with lyres.
Da 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.
28 So the sons of the singers gathered themselves together, —both out of the circuit round about Jerusalem, and out of the villages of the Netophathites;
Da samledes Sangerne fra Egnen om Jerusalem og fra Netofatifernes Landsbyer,
29 also out of Beth-gilgal, and out of the fields of Geba, and Azmaveth, —for, villages, had the singers builded for themselves, round about Jerusalem.
fra Bet-Gilgal, fra Gebas og Azmavets Marker; thi Sangerne havde bygget sig Landsbyer rundt om Jerusalem.
30 And the priests and the Levites purified themselves, —and purified the people, and the gates, and the wall.
Da Præsterne og Leviterne havde renset sig, rensede de Folket, Portene og Muren.
31 Then brought I up the rulers of Judah upon the wall, —and I appointed two large choirs, even to go in procession to the right, upon the wall, towards the dung-gate;
Så lod jeg Judas Øverster stige op på Muren og opstillede to store Lovprisningstog. Det ene drog til højre oven på Muren ad Møgporten til,
32 and after them went Hoshaiah, and half the rulers of Judah;
og med det fulgte Hosjaja og den ene Halvdel af Judas Øverster;
33 then Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam;
dernæst nogle af Præsterne med Trompeter, Azarja, Ezra, Mesjullam,
34 Judah, and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah;
Juda, Benjamin, Sjemaja og Jirmeja;
35 and, of the sons of the priests, with trumpets, Zechariah—son of Jonathan—son of Shemaiah—son of Mattaniah, son of Micaiah, son of Zaccur, son of Asaph;
endvidere 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,
36 and his brethren—Shemaiah and Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, and Judah, Hanani, with the instruments of music of David, the man of God, —with Ezra the scribe before them;
og 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;
37 and, over they fountain gate and straight before 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 as far as the water-gate, eastward.
og 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.
38 And, the second choir, was going over against them, I, following it, —with the half of the people upon the wall, above the tower of the ovens, even as far as the broad wall;
Det 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
39 and above the gate of Ephraim, and upon the old gate, and upon the fish-gate, and the tower of Hananel, and the tower of Hammeah, even as far as the sheep-gate, —and they came to a stand, at the gate of the guard.
og videre over Efraimsporten, den gamle Port, Fiskeporten, Hanan'eltårnet og Meatårnet til Fåreporten og stillede sig op i Fængselsporten.
40 So the two choirs, came to a stand, at the house of God, —and I, and half the deputies with me;
Derpå stillede de to Lovprisningstog sig op i Guds Hus, jeg sammen med Halvdelen af Øversterne
41 and, the priests—Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with trumpets;
og Præsterne Eljakim, Ma'aseja, Minjamin, Mika, Eljoenaj, Zekarja, Hananja med Trompeter,
42 and Maaseiah and Shemaiah and Eleazar and Uzzi and Jehohanan and Malchijah and Elam and Ezer, —and the musicians sounded, aloud with Jezrahiah who was over them.
endvidere Ma'aseja, Sjemaja, El'azar, Uzzi, Johanan, Malkija, Elam og Ezer. Og Sangerne stemte i, ledede af Jizraja.
43 And they sacrificed, on that day, great sacrifices, and rejoiced, for, God, had caused them to rejoice with great joy, moreover also, the women and children, rejoiced, —so that the rejoicing of Jerusalem was heard afar off.
På 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.
44 And there were set in charge, on that day, certain men, over the chambers for the treasures, for the heave-offerings, for the firstfruits, and for the tithes, to gather into them, out of the fields of the cities, the portions appointed by the law, for the priests, and for the Levites, —for, the joy of Judah, was over the priests and over the Levites, who were remaining.
På 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;
45 So they kept the charge of their God, and the charge of the purification, and [so did] the singers and the doorkeepers, —according to the commandment of David and of Solomon his son.
og 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.
46 For, in the days of David and Asaph, of old, there were chiefs of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving, unto God.
Thi allerede på Davids Tid var Asaf Leder for Sangerne og for Lov- og Takkesangene til Gud.
47 Now, all Israel—in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah, used to give the portions of the singers and the doorkeepers, the need of a day upon its day, —and they hallowed them unto the Levites, and, the Levites, hallowed them unto the sons of Aaron.
Hele 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.
