Af Levis Efterkommere optegnedes Overhovederne for Fædrenehusene i Krønikebogen ned til Johanans, Eljasjibs Søns, Dage.

The sons of Levi, the chief of the fathers, were written in the book of the chronicles, even until the days of Johanan the son of Eliashib.

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;

And the chief of the Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua the son of Kadmiel, with their brethren over against them, to praise and to give thanks, according to the commandment of David the man of God, ward over against ward.

Mattaniah, and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub, were porters keeping the ward at the thresholds of the gates.

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.

These were in the days of Joiakim the son of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor, and of Ezra the priest, the scribe.

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.

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 with gladness, both with thanksgivings, and with singing, with cymbals, psalteries, and with harps.

Da samledes Sangerne fra Egnen om Jerusalem og fra Netofatifernes Landsbyer,

And the sons of the singers gathered themselves together, both out of the plain country round about Jerusalem, and from the villages of Netophathi;

fra Bet-Gilgal, fra Gebas og Azmavets Marker; thi Sangerne havde bygget sig Landsbyer rundt om Jerusalem.

Also from the house of Gilgal, and out of the fields of Geba and Azmaveth: for the singers had builded them villages round about Jerusalem.

Da Præsterne og Leviterne havde renset sig, rensede de Folket, Portene og Muren.

And the priests and the Levites purified themselves, and purified the people, and the gates, and the wall.

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,

Then I brought up the princes of Judah upon the wall, and appointed two great companies of them that gave thanks, whereof one went on the right hand upon the wall toward the dung gate:

og med det fulgte Hosjaja og den ene Halvdel af Judas Øverster;

And after them went Hoshaiah, and half of the princes of Judah,

dernæst nogle af Præsterne med Trompeter, Azarja, Ezra, Mesjullam,

And Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam,

Juda, Benjamin, Sjemaja og Jirmeja;

Judah, and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah,

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,

And certain of the priests' sons with trumpets; namely, Zechariah the son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Michaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph:

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;

And his brethren, Shemaiah, and Azarael, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethaneel, and Judah, Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God, and Ezra the scribe before them.

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.

And at the fountain gate, which was over against 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 unto the water gate eastward.

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

And the other company of them that gave thanks went over against them, and I after them, and the half of the people upon the wall, from beyond the tower of the furnaces even unto the broad wall;

og videre over Efraimsporten, den gamle Port, Fiskeporten, Hanan'eltårnet og Meatårnet til Fåreporten og stillede sig op i Fængselsporten.

And from above the gate of Ephraim, and above the old gate, and above the fish gate, and the tower of Hananeel, and the tower of Meah, even unto the sheep gate: and they stood still in the prison gate.

Derpå stillede de to Lovprisningstog sig op i Guds Hus, jeg sammen med Halvdelen af Øversterne

So stood the two companies of them that gave thanks in the house of God, and I, and the half of the rulers with me:

og Præsterne Eljakim, Ma'aseja, Minjamin, Mika, Eljoenaj, Zekarja, Hananja med Trompeter,

And the priests; Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Michaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with trumpets;

endvidere Ma'aseja, Sjemaja, El'azar, Uzzi, Johanan, Malkija, Elam og Ezer. Og Sangerne stemte i, ledede af Jizraja.

And Maaseiah, and Shemaiah, and Eleazar, and Uzzi, and Jehohanan, and Malchijah, and Elam, and Ezer. And the singers sang loud, with Jezrahiah their overseer.

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.

Also that day they offered great sacrifices, and rejoiced: for God had made them rejoice with great joy: the wives also and the children rejoiced: so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard even afar off.

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;

And at that time were some appointed over the chambers for the treasures, for the offerings, for the firstfruits, and for the tithes, to gather into them out of the fields of the cities the portions of the law for the priests and Levites: for Judah rejoiced for the priests and for the Levites that waited.

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.

And both the singers and the porters kept the ward of their God, and the ward of the purification, according to the commandment of David, and of Solomon his son.

Thi allerede på Davids Tid var Asaf Leder for Sangerne og for Lov- og Takkesangene til Gud.

For in the days of David and Asaph of old there were chief of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving unto God.

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.

And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah, gave the portions of the singers and the porters, every day his portion: and they sanctified holy things unto the Levites; and the Levites sanctified them unto the children of Aaron.
