Da wir nun die Mauer gebaut hatten, hängte ich die Türen ein und wurden bestellt die Torhüter, Sänger und Leviten.
Y luego que el muro fue edificado, y asenté las puertas, y fueron señalados porteros y cantores y Levitas,
Lorsque la muraille fut rebâtie et que j'eus posé les battants des portes, on établit dans leurs fonctions les portiers, les chantres et les Lévites.
Ora, dopo che le mura furono riedificate, e che io ebbi posate le reggi, e che furono costituiti i portinai, i cantori ed i Leviti ne’ loro ufficii,
SUCEDEU que, depois que o muro foi edificado, eu levantei as portas; e foram estabelecidos os porteiros, os cantores e os levitas.
城牆修完,我安了門扇,門口的守衛、歌唱的和 利未 人都已派定。
