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.
Ketika tembok kota Yerusalem diresmikan, orang-orang Lewi dipanggil dari segala tempat tinggal mereka, supaya ikut memeriahkan peristiwa itu dengan nyanyian-nyanyian syukur, dan dengan musik gambus dan kecapi.
28 The sons of the singers gathered themselves together, both out of the plain around Jerusalem and from the villages of the Netophathites;
Maka berkumpullah para penyanyi dari keluarga-keluarga Lewi itu, baik dari daerah tempat tinggalnya di sekitar Yerusalem, maupun dari kota-kota di sekitar Netofa,
29 also from Beth Gilgal and out of the fields of Geba and Azmaveth, for the singers had built themselves villages around Jerusalem.
dari Bet-Gilgal, Geba dan Asmawet.
30 The priests and the Levites purified themselves; and they purified the people, the gates, and the wall.
Para imam dan orang-orang Lewi itu melakukan upacara pembersihan bagi diri mereka kemudian bagi rakyat, bagi pintu-pintu gerbang dan tembok kota.
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;
Aku persilakan para pemimpin Yehuda naik ke atas tembok untuk mengatur dua kelompok besar yang akan berbaris mengelilingi kota sambil menyanyikan pujian syukur kepada Allah. Kelompok yang pertama berbaris di atas tembok, menuju ke kanan, ke Gerbang Sampah.
32 and after them went Hoshaiah, with half of the princes of Judah,
Hosaya berjalan di belakang para penyanyi, diikuti oleh sebagian dari para pemimpin orang Yehuda.
33 and Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam,
Para imam berikut ini berjalan di belakang mereka sambil meniup trompet: Azarya, Ezra, Mesulam, Yehuda, Benyamin, Semaya dan Yeremia. Mereka diikuti oleh Zakharia anak Yonatan dan cucu Semaya. Beberapa dari nenek moyangnya ialah: Matanya, Mikha, Zakur dari kaum Asaf.
34 Judah, Benjamin, Shemaiah, Jeremiah,
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;
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.
Di belakangnya berjalan anggota-anggota dari kaumnya, yaitu: Semaya, Azareel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Netaneel, Yehuda dan Hanani. Mereka semua membawa alat-alat musik, serupa dengan yang dimainkan oleh Raja Daud, hamba Allah itu. Imam Ezra, ahli Hukum Allah itu, berjalan di kepala barisan itu.
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.
Sesampai di Pintu Gerbang Air Mancur mereka membelok dan mendaki tangga Kota Daud, melalui istana Daud, lalu kembali ke tembok pada Pintu Gerbang Air di sebelah timur kota.
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,
Kelompok penyanyi yang satu lagi berbaris di atas tembok menuju ke kiri, dan aku mengikutinya bersama-sama dengan sebagian dari rakyat. Kami berbaris melalui Menara Perapian sampai ke Tembok Lebar.
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.
Lalu kami melalui Pintu Gerbang Efraim, Pintu Gerbang Lama, Pintu Gerbang Ikan, Menara Hananeel dan Menara Mea sampai ke Pintu Gerbang Domba. Barisan kami berhenti di dekat Pintu Gerbang Penjagaan dekat Rumah TUHAN.
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;
Maka sampailah kedua kelompok penyanyi itu di dekat Rumah TUHAN. Selain para pemimpin di dalam kelompokku,
41 and the priests, Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with trumpets;
ikut juga imam-imam yang meniup trompet. Mereka adalah: Elyakim, Maaseya, Minyamin, Mikha, Elyoenai, Zakharia dan Hananya;
42 and Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malchijah, Elam, and Ezer. The singers sang loud, with Jezrahiah their overseer.
di belakang mereka berjalan Maaseya, Semaya, Eleazar, Uzi, Yohanan, Malkia, Elam dan Ezer. Para penyanyi menyanyi di bawah pimpinan Yizrahya.
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.
Pada hari itu banyak kurban yang dipersembahkan kepada TUHAN. Rakyat bersukaria karena Allah telah membuat mereka berbahagia. Para wanita dan anak-anak juga ikut berpesta, dan suara mereka yang riang gembira terdengar sampai jauh.
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.
Pada waktu itu beberapa orang ditugaskan mengawasi kamar-kamar perbekalan tempat menyimpan sumbangan-sumbangan untuk Rumah TUHAN, termasuk persembahan persepuluhan dan hasil bumi yang pertama setiap tahun. Para pengawas itu wajib mengumpulkan sumbangan-sumbangan itu dari ladang-ladang di sekitar kota-kota. Sumbangan-sumbangan itu diserahkan kepada para imam dan orang-orang Lewi, sesuai dengan peraturan Hukum. Orang-orang Yehuda menghargai para imam dan orang-orang Lewi itu,
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.
karena merekalah yang melakukan upacara penyucian dan upacara-upacara lain yang telah diperintahkan oleh Allah. Para pemain musik dan penjaga gerbang Rumah TUHAN juga melakukan tugas-tugas mereka, sesuai dengan peraturan Raja Daud dan Salomo, putranya.
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.
Semenjak zaman Raja Daud dan ahli musik Asaf, para penyanyi telah menyanyikan lagu-lagu pujian syukur bagi Allah.
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.
Pada zaman Zerubabel dan juga pada masa Nehemia, seluruh rakyat Israel memberikan persembahan untuk mencukupi kebutuhan sehari-hari para penyanyi dan penjaga gerbang Rumah TUHAN. Rakyat memberikan persembahan khusus kepada orang-orang Lewi dan orang-orang Lewi pun memberikan kepada para imam bagian yang sudah ditentukan.
