27 Para la dedicación del muro de Jerusalén buscaron a los levitas de todas partes para llevarlos a Jerusalén, a fin de celebrar la dedicación y la fiesta con cánticos y acciones de gracias, con címbalos, salterios y arpas.
27 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 giving thanks and with singing, with cymbals, stringed instruments, and with harps.
28 Así fueron reunidos los hijos de los cantores, tanto del valle que circunda a Jerusalén como de las aldeas de los de Netofa,
28 The sons of the singers gathered themselves together, both out of the plain around Jerusalem and from the villages of the Netophathites;
29 y Bet-gilgal y los campos de Geba y Azmavet, porque los cantores se edificaron aldeas alrededor de Jerusalén.

30 Se purificaron los sacerdotes y los levitas. También purificaron al pueblo, las puertas y el muro.
30 The priests and the Levites purified themselves; and they purified the people, the gates, and the wall.
31 Entonces ordené a los jefes de Judá que subieran sobre el muro. Establecí dos grandes coros que elevaban alabanzas y acciones de gracias. El primero marchaba a la derecha del muro, hacia la puerta del Muladar,
31 Then I brought the princes of Judah up on the wall, and appointed two great companies who gave thanks and went in procession. One went on the right hand on the wall toward the dung gate;
32 y tras ellos iba Osaías, la mitad de los jefes de Judá,
32 and after them went Hoshaiah, with half of the princes of Judah,
33 Azarías, Esdras, Mesulam,
33 and Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam,
34 Judá, Benjamín, Semaías y Jeremías.

35 Algunos de los hijos de los sacerdotes marchaban con trompetas: Zacarías, hijo de Jonatán, hijo de Semaías, hijo de Matanías, hijo de Micaías, hijo de Zacur, hijo de Asaf,
35 and some 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 y sus hermanos Semaías, Azarael, Milalay, Gilalay, Maay, Natanael, Judá, Hanani, con los instrumentos musicales de David, varón de ʼElohim. El escriba Esdras marchaba al frente de ellos.
36 and his brothers, Shemaiah, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, Judah, and Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God; and Ezra the scribe was before them.
37 Las gradas de la ciudad de David subieron directamente en la puerta de la Fuente, por la subida al muro que está por encima de la casa de David, hacia la puerta del Agua, hacia el oriente.
37 By the spring gate, and straight before them, they went up by the stairs of David’s city, at the ascent of the wall, above David’s house, even to the water gate eastward.
38 El segundo coro que elevaba alabanzas y acciones de gracias marchaba en sentido contrario. Yo iba con ellos y con la mitad del pueblo, sobre el muro desde la torre de los Hornos hasta el muro ancho,
38 The other company of those who gave thanks went to meet them, and I after them, with the half of the people on the wall above the tower of the furnaces, even to the wide wall,
39 por la puerta de Efraín, por la puerta Antigua, por la puerta del Pescado, la torre de Hananel y la torre de los Cien hasta la puerta de las Ovejas y hasta la puerta de la Guardia.
39 and above the gate of Ephraim, and by the old gate, and by the fish gate, the tower of Hananel, and the tower of Hammeah, even to the sheep gate; and they stood still in the gate of the guard.
40 Entonces los dos coros que elevaban alabanzas y acciones de gracias se detuvieron en el Templo de ʼElohim, también yo y la mitad de los dirigentes conmigo.
40 So the two companies of those who gave thanks in God’s house stood, and I and the half of the rulers with me;
41 Los sacerdotes Elyaquim, Maaseías, Miniamín, Micaías, Elioenay, Zacarías y Hananías tenían las trompetas,
41 and the priests, Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with trumpets;
42 y Maasías, Semaías, Eliazar, Uzi, Johanán, Malquías, Elam Ezer y los cantores cantaban a viva voz dirigidos por Izrahías.
42 and Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malchijah, Elam, and Ezer. The singers sang loud, with Jezrahiah their overseer.
43 Aquel día inmolaron grandes sacrificios y se alegraron porque ʼElohim los deleitó con gran regocijo, del que participaban también las mujeres y los niños. La alegría de Jerusalén se oía desde lejos.
43 They offered great sacrifices that day, and rejoiced, for God had made them rejoice with great joy; and the women and the children also rejoiced, so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard even far away.
44 En aquel día algunos fueron designados para que se encargaran de los almacenes para las ofrendas, las primicias y los diezmos, a fin de recoger en ellos los productos del campo y las porciones legales que correspondían a los sacerdotes y levitas. Judá se alegraba de contemplar a los sacerdotes y los levitas en su servicio.
44 On that day, men were appointed over the rooms for the treasures, for the wave offerings, for the first fruits, and for the tithes, to gather into them according to the fields of the cities the portions appointed by the law for the priests and Levites; for Judah rejoiced for the priests and for the Levites who served.
45 Éstos guardaban el precepto de su ʼElohim y observaban las purificaciones. También los cantores y porteros cumplían lo establecido para ellos según los mandatos de David y su hijo Salomón,
45 They performed the duty of their God and the duty of the purification, and so did the singers and the gatekeepers, according to the commandment of David and of Solomon his son.
46 porque desde los días de David y Asaf, desde tiempo antiguo, había directores para los cantores, los cánticos de alabanza y acción de gracias a ʼElohim.
46 For in the days of David and Asaph of old there was a chief of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving to God.
47 En días de Zorobabel y Nehemías, todo Israel daba porciones a los cantores y a los porteros, como era requerido día a día. Quedó consagrado lo prescrito para los levitas, así como para los hijos de Aarón.
47 All Israel in the days of Zerubbabel and in the days of Nehemiah gave the portions of the singers and the gatekeepers, as every day required; and they set apart that which was for the Levites; and the Levites set apart that which was for the sons of Aaron.
