And at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought the Levites out of all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem, to hold the dedication with gladness, both with thanksgivings, and with singing, [with] cymbals, lutes and harps.
28 Då samla songar-sønerne seg frå kverven kring Jerusalem og frå netofatitgardarne,
And the children of the singers were assembled, both from the plain [of Jordan] round about Jerusalem, and from the villages of the Netophathites,
29 frå Bet-Haggilgal og frå landet kring Geba og Azmavet; songarane hadde bygt seg gardar rundt ikring Jerusalem.
also from Beth-Gilgal, and out of the fields of Geba and Azmaveth; for the singers had built themselves hamlets round about Jerusalem.
30 Prestarne og levitarne reinsa seg, og dei reinsa folket og portarne og muren.
And the priests and the Levites purified themselves; and they purified the people, and the gates and the wall.
31 Eg let hovdingarne i Juda stiga upp på muren. So skipa eg tvo store songkorar og festferder. Den eine gjekk til høgre uppå muren fram mot Møkporten.
And I brought up the princes of Judah upon the wall, and appointed two great choirs and processions, on the right hand upon the wall towards the dung-gate.
32 Etter dei gjekk Hosaja og den eine helvti av Juda-hovdingarne,
And after them went Hoshaiah, and half of the princes of Judah,

and [certain] 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 og so brørne hans: Semaja, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Ma’ai, Netanel, Juda, og Hanani med spelgognerne åt gudsmannen David. Den skriftlærde Ezra gjekk fyre deim.
and his brethren, Shemaiah, and Azareel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethaneel, and Judah, Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God; and Ezra the scribe before them.
37 Dei gjekk yver Kjeldeporten og beint upp tropperne til Davidsbyen, der ein stig upp på muren ovanfor Davidshuset, heilt fram til Vatsporten i aust.
And at the fountain-gate, and over against them, they went up by the stairs of the city of David, at the ascent of the wall, above the house of David, even to the water-gate eastward.
38 Den andre songkoren gjekk til vinstre, og der fylgde eg og den andre helvti av folket uppå muren, yver Omnstårnet burt til den breide muren,
And the second choir went in the opposite direction upon the wall, and I after them, and the half of the people, from beyond the tower of the furnaces even to the broad wall;
39 yver Efraimsporten, Gamleporten og Fiskeporten, gjenom Hananeltårnet og Hammeatårnet, heilt fram til Saueporten. Dei stana ved Fengselsporten.
and from above the gate of Ephraim, and above the gate of the old [wall], and above the fish-gate, and the tower of Hananeel, and the tower of Meah, even to the sheep-gate; and they stood still in the prison-gate.
40 So stelte dei seg upp i Guds hus båe songkorarne; like eins eg og helvti av formennerne med meg,
And both choirs stood in the house of God, and I, and the half of the rulers with me;
41 og prestarne Eljakim, Ma’aseja, Minjamin, Mikaja, Eljoenai, Zakarja og Hananja med lurar,
and the priests, Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, Hananiah, with trumpets;
42 og Ma’aseja, Semaja, Eleazar, Uzzi, Johanan, Malkia, Elam og Ezer. Og songarane let songen ljoma, og føraren deira var Jizrahja.
and Maaseiah, and Shemaiah, and Eleazar, and Uzzi, and Jehohanan, and Malchijah, and Elam, and Ezer. And the singers sang loud; and Jizrahiah was their overseer.
43 Dei ofra den dagen store offer og gledde seg; for Gud hadde kveikt gleda hjå folket; ogso kvinnorne og borni gledde seg. Og gleda frå Jerusalem høyrdest langan leid.
And that day they offered great sacrifices, and rejoiced: for God had made them rejoice with great joy; and also the women and the children rejoiced. And the joy of Jerusalem was heard even afar off.
44 Samstundes vart det uppnemt menner til å hava tilsyn med upplagsromi for reidorne, fyrstegrøda og tiendi, til å gøyma der det som lovi heimla prestarne og levitarne frå bymarkerne. Dei var fegne i Juda for at prestarne og levitarne gjorde tenesta.
And at that time men were appointed over the chambers of the treasures for the heave-offerings, for the first-fruits, and for the tithes, to gather into them, out of the fields of the cities, the portions assigned by the law for the priests and the Levites; for Judah rejoiced over the priests, and over the Levites that waited.
45 Og dei tok vare på det som var til å taka vare på ved gudstenesta og reinsingarne. Like eins gjorde songarane og portvaktarane sine tenestor, soleis som David og Salomo, son hans, hadde bode;
And, with the singers and the doorkeepers, they kept the ward of their God, and the ward of the purification, according to the commandment of David [and] of Solomon his son.
46 for alt i gamall tid, i Davids dagar, og songarhovdingen Asafs dagar, ljoda lovsongar og takkesongar til Gud.
For of old, in the days of David and Asaph, there were the chiefs of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgivings to God.
47 Og i Zerubbabels og Nehemias dagar gav heile Israel songarane og portvaktarane dei reidorne dei skulde hava frå dag til annan. Levitarne fekk sine heilage gåvor, og dei reidde ut heilage gåvor til Arons-sønerne.
And all Israel, in the days of Zerubbabel and in the days of Nehemiah, gave the portions of the singers and the doorkeepers, every day what was needed, and they consecrated things for the Levites; and the Levites consecrated for the children of Aaron.
