[it was] in the days of Joakim son of Jesus, son of Josedec, and in the days of Neemia: and Esdras the priest [was] scribe.

And at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought the Levites in their places, to bring them to Jerusalem, to keep a feast of dedication and gladness with thanksgiving, and they sounded cymbals with songs, and [had] lutes and harps.
28 Congregati sunt autem filii cantorum de campestribus circa Ierusalem, et de villis Nethuphathi,
And the sons of the singers were assembled both from the neighbourhood round about to Jerusalem, and from the villages,
29 et de domo Galgal, et de regionibus Geba et Azmaveth: quoniam villas ædificaverunt sibi cantores in circuitu Ierusalem.
and from the country: for the singers built themselves villages by Jerusalem.
30 Et mundati sunt Sacerdotes et Levitæ, et mundaverunt populum, et portas, et murum.
And the priests and the Levites purified themselves, and they purified the people, and the porters, and the wall.

and his brethren, Samaia, and Oziel, Gelol, Jama, Aia, Nathanael, and Juda, Anani, to praise with the hymns of David the man of God; and Esdras the scribe [was] before them,
37 Et contra eos ascenderunt in gradibus civitatis David in ascensu muri super domum David, et usque ad portam Aquarum ad Orientem.
at the gate, to praise before them, and they went up by the steps of the city of David, in the ascent of the wall, above the house of David, even to the water-gate
38 Et chorus secundus gratias referentium ibat ex adverso, et ego post eum, et media pars populi super murum et super turrim furnorum, et usque ad murum latissimum,
39 et super portam Ephraim, et super portam antiquam, et super portam piscium et turrim Hananeel, et turrim Emath, et usque ad portam gregis: et steterunt in porta custodiæ,
of Ephraim, and to the fish-gate, and by the tower of Anameel, and as far as the sheep-gate.
40 steteruntque duo chori laudantium in domo Dei, et ego, et dimidia pars magistratuum mecum.
41 Et Sacerdotes, Eliachim, Maasia, Miamin, Michea, Elioenai, Zacharia, Hanania in tubis,
42 et Maasia, et Semeia, et Eleazar, et Azzi, et Iohanan, et Melchia, et Ælam, et Ezer. Et clare cecinerunt cantores, et Iezraia præpositus:
And the singers were heard, and were numbered.
43 et immolaverunt in die illa victimas magnas, et lætati sunt: Deus enim lætificaverat eos lætitia magna: sed et uxores eorum et liberi gavisi sunt, et audita est lætitia Ierusalem procul.
And in that day they offered great sacrifices, and rejoiced; for God had made them very joyful: and their wives and their children rejoiced: and the joy in Jerusalem was heard from afar off.
44 Recensuerunt quoque in die illa viros super gazophylacia thesauri ad libamina, et ad primitias, et ad decimas, ut introferrent per eos principes civitatis in decore gratiarum actionis, Sacerdotes et Levitas: quia lætificatus est Iuda in Sacerdotibus et Levitis astantibus.
And in that day they appointed men over the treasuries, for the treasures, the first fruits, and the tithes, and [for] the chiefs of the cities who were assembled amongst them, [to furnish] portions for the priests and Levites: for [there was] joy in Juda over the priests and over the Levites that waited.
45 Et custodierunt observationem Dei sui, et observationem expiationis, et cantores, et ianitores iuxta præceptum David, et Salomonis filii eius,
And they kept the charges of their God, and the charges of the purification, and [ordered] the singers and the porters, according to the commandments of David and his son Solomon.
46 quia in diebus David et Asaph ab exordio erant principes constituti cantorum in carmine laudantium, et confitentium Deo.
For in the days of David Asaph was originally first of the singers, and [they sang] hymns and praise to God.
47 Et omnis Israel, in diebus Zorobabel, et in diebus Nehemiæ dabant partes cantoribus et ianitoribus per dies singulos, et sanctificabant Levitas, et Levitæ sanctificabant filios Aaron.
And all Israel in the days of Zorobabel, and in the days of Neemias, gave the portions of the singers and the porters, a daily rate: and consecrated them to the Levites: and the Levites consecrated them to the sons of Aaron.
