느 12:24 And the leaders of the Levites were Hashabiah, Sherebiah,

give praise and thanksgiving, one section responding to the other, as prescribed
by David the man of God.
느 12:25 Mattaniah, Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon and Akkub
were gatekeepers who guarded the storerooms at the gates.
느 12:26 They served in the days of Joiakim son of Jeshua, the son

and scribe.
느12:27 예루살렘 성 봉헌식
느 12:27 At the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem, the Levites were
sought out from where they lived and were brought to Jerusalem to celebrate
joyfully the dedication with songs of thanksgiving and with the music of
cymbals, harps and l yres.
느 12:28 The singers also were brought together from the region around
Jerusalem--from the villages of the Netophathite s,
느 12:29 from Beth Gilgal, and from the area of Geba and Azmaveth,
for the singers had built villages for themselves ar ound Jerusalem.
느 12:30 When the priests and Levites had purified themselves ceremonially,
they purified the people, the gates and the wall.
느 12:31 I had the leaders of Judah go up on top of the wall. I also
assigned two large choirs to give thanks. One was to proceed on top of
the wall to the right, toward the Dung Gate.
느 12:32 Hoshaiah and half the leaders of Judah followed them,
느 12:33 along with Azariah, Ezra, Meshullam,
느 12:34 Judah, Benjamin, Shemaiah, Jeremiah,
느 12:35 as well as some priests with trumpets, and also Zechariah
son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mat taniah, the son of
Micaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph,
느 12:36 and his associates--Shemaiah, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai,
Nethanel, Judah and Hanani--with musical instrum ents prescribed by David
the man of God. Ezra the scribe led the procession.
느 12:37 At the Fountain Gate they continued directly up the steps
of the City of David on the ascent to the wall and p assed above the house
of David to the Water Gate on the east.
느 12:38 The second choir proceeded in the opposite direction. I followed
them on top of the wall, together with half t he people--past the Tower
of the Ovens to the Broad Wall,
느 12:39 over the Gate of Ephraim, the Jeshanah Gate, the Fish Gate,
the Tower of Hananel and the Tower of the Hundred, as far as the Sheep
Gate. At the Gate of the Guard they stopped.
느 12:40 The two choirs that gave thanks then took their places in
the house of God; so did I, together with half the o fficials,
느 12:41 as well as the priests--Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah,
Elioenai, Zechariah and Hananiah with their trum pets--
느 12:42 and also Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malkijah,
Elam and Ezer. The choirs sang under the dire ction of Jezrahiah.
느 12:43 And on that day they offered great sacrifices, rejoicing because
God had given them great joy. The women and c hildren also rejoiced. The
sound of rejoicing in Jerusalem could be heard far away.
느12:44 백성이 성직자들을 받들다
느 12:44 At that time men were appointed to be in charge of the storerooms
for the contributions, firstfruits and tithe s. From the fields around
the towns they were to bring into the storerooms the portions required
by the Law for the prie sts and the Levites, for Judah was pleased with
the ministering priests and Levites.
느 12:45 They performed the service of their God and the service of
purification, as did also the singers and gatekeepe rs, according to the
commands of David and his son Solomon.
느 12:46 For long ago, in the days of David and Asaph, there had been
directors for the singers and for the songs of pr aise and thanksgiving
to God.
느 12:47 So in the days of Zerubbabel and of Nehemiah, all Israel contributed
the daily portions for the singers and ga tekeepers. They also set aside
the portion for the other Levites, and the Levites set aside the portion
for the descenda nts of Aaron. |
