Und standen also die zwei Dankchöre am Hause Gottes, und ich und die Hälfte der Obersten mit mir,
Pararon luego los dos coros en la casa de Dios; y yo, y la mitad de los magistrados conmigo;
Los dos coros de acción de gracias se detuvieron en la casa de Dios, y también yo, con la mitad de los oficiales que estaban conmigo,
Les deux choeurs s'arrêtèrent dans la maison de Dieu; et nous fîmes de même, moi et les magistrats qui étaient avec moi,

於是,這兩隊稱謝的人連同我和一半跟隨我的官長,站在上帝的殿裏。
