27 Forsothe in the halewyng of the wal of Jerusalem thei souyten dekenes of alle her places, to bryng hem in to Jerusalem, and to make the halewyng in gladnesse, in the doyng of thankyngis, and in song, and in cymbalis, and in sautrees, and in harpis.
為耶路撒冷城垣舉行落成典禮時，召集住在各地的肋未人，在到耶路撒冷，詠唱詠謝讚美的詩歌，彈奏弦樂琴瑟，這落成典禮歡樂舉行。

肋未人的子孫歌詠者，便由耶路撒冷四周區域，笸乃托法各村莊，

由貝特基耳加耳、革巴和阿次瑪委特鄉間，集合前來，原是歌詠者在耶路撒冷四周，為自己建造了莊院。
30 And prestis and dekenes weren clensid, and thei clensiden the puple, and the yatis, and the wal.
司祭和肋未人聖潔了自己以後，又聖潔了民眾、城門和城牆。
31 Forsothe Y made the princes of Juda to stie on the wal, and Y ordeynede twei greete queris of men heriynge; and thei yeden to the riyt side on the wal, to the yate of the dunghil.
我叫猶大各省長登上城牆，將儀仗分為兩大隊：一隊在城牆上向右往糞門進行，
32 And Osaie yede aftir hem, and the half part of prynces of Juda,
在隊後隨行的，是曷沙雅和猶大的一半首長，

35 And of the sones of prestis syngynge in trumpis; Zacharie, the sone of Jonathan, the sone of Semeie, the sone of Mathanye, the sone of Machaie, the sone of Zeccur, the sone of Asaph.
這些人都是司祭中吹號筒的；還有約納堂的兒子加黎雅，──約納堂是舍瑪雅的兒子，舍瑪雅是瑪塔尼雅的兒子，瑪塔尼雅是米加雅的兒子，米加雅是匝雇爾的兒子，匝雇爾是阿撒夫的兒子，──
36 And hise britheren; Semeie, and Azarel, Malalai, Galalai, Maai, Nathanael, and Juda, and Amany, in the instrumentis of song of Dauid, the man of God; and Esdras, the wrytere, bifor hem, in the yate of the welle.
以及則加黎雅的兄弟：舍瑪雅、阿匝勒耳、米拉來、基拉來、瑪艾、乃塔乃耳、猶達和哈納尼，演奏天主的人達味的樂器。厄斯德拉經師走在你們的前面。
37 And thei stieden ayens hem in the greis of the citee of Dauid, in the stiyng of the wal, on the hows of Dauid, and `til to the yate of watris at the eest.
他們到了泉門之後，一直上了達味城的石級，沿著城城牆斜坡，靠著達味王宮，走到東邊水門。
38 And the secounde queer of men tellynge thankyngis yede euene ayens, and Y aftir hym; and the half part of the puple was on the wal, and on the tour of ouenys, and `til to the broddeste wal;
第二儀仗隊往左邊行，我在儀仗隊之後，與另一半首長在城牆上，路過爐堡，直到廣場的城牆，
39 and on the yate of Effraym, and on the elde yate, and on the yate of fischis, and on the toure of Ananeel, and on the tour of Emath, and thei camen `til to the yate of the floc;
以後，路過厄弗辣因門、魚門、哈約乃耳堡，直到羊門，便在更門停住了。
40 and thei stoden in the yate of kepyng. And twei queeris of men heriynge stoden in the hows of God, and Y and the half part of magistratis with me.
這兩儀仗隊站在天主殿內，有一半首長同我在一起；
41 And the prestis, Eliachym, Maasie, Myamyn, Mychea, Helioneai, Zacharie, Ananye, in trumpis;
還有司祭厄里雅金、瑪色雅、米尼雅明、 米加雅、厄里約乃、則則加雅、哈納尼雅，他們吹著號筒；
42 and Maasie, and Senea, and Eleazar, and Azi, and Johannan, and Melchia, and Elam, and Ezer; and the syngeris sungen clereli, and Jezraie, the souereyn.
還有瑪阿色雅、舍瑪雅、厄肋阿匝爾、烏齊、約哈南、瑪耳基雅、厄藍和厄則爾。歌詠都在耶辣希雅指導下高聲唱歌。
43 And thei offriden in that dai grete sacrifices, and weren glad; `for God `hadde maad hem glad with grete gladnesse. But also her wyues and lawful childre weren ioiful, and the gladnesse of Jerusalem was herd fer.
一日祭獻了很多犧牲，人們都很歡樂，因為天主使他們非常歡樂，連婦女童也都喜歡；耶路撒冷歡樂的聲音聞於遠方。
44 Also thei noumbriden in that dai men ouer the keping places of tresour, to moiste sacrifices, and to the firste fruytis, and to tithis, that the princes of the citee schulden brynge in bi hem, `in the fairenesse of doyng of thankyngis, prestis and dekenes; for Juda was glad in prestis and dekenes present.
那時，也定專員，管理孝放祭品、初熟之物和什一之的倉庫將各城各鄉照法律規定應交與司祭和肋未的物品，都存放在裏面，因為猶太人對盡職的司祭和肋未人都表喜悅。
45 And thei kepten the kepyng of her God, the kepyng of clensyng; and syngeris, and porteris, bi the comaundement of Dauid and of Salomon, his sone;
因他們各盡侍奉他們的天主之職，舉行取潔禮。歌詠者和守門者，也都遵照達味和他的兒子撒羅滿所制定的進行，
46 for in the daies of Dauid and of Asaph fro the bigynnyng princes of syngeris weren ordeyned, heriyng in song, and knoulechynge to God.
因為遠在達味和阿撒夫時代，已有了歌詠長的職務，和讚美並感謝天主的歌曲。
47 And al Israel, in the daies of Zorobabel, and in the daies of Neemye, yauen partis to syngeris and to porteris bi alle `the daies; and thei halewiden dekenes, and the dekenes halewiden the sones of Aaron.
在責魯巴貝耳和乃赫米雅年間，全以色列天天都繳納給歌詠者和守門者應繳約之物，把一部分聖物交給人，肋未人將一部分交給亞郎的子孫。
