for Judah rejoiced for the priests

尼12:44 當日派人管理庫房，將舉祭、初熟之物和所取的十分之壹，就是按各城田地，照律法所定歸給祭司和利未人的分，都收在裏頭。猶大人因祭司和利未人供職，就歡樂了。
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.
尼12:45 祭司利未人遵守　神所吩咐的，並守潔淨的禮。歌唱的、守門的，照著大衛和他兒子所羅門的命令，也如此行。
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.
尼12:46 古時，在大衛和亞薩的日子，有歌唱的伶長，並有贊美稱謝　神的詩歌。
For in the days of David and Asaph of old there were chief of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving unto God.
尼12:47 當所羅巴伯和尼希米的時候，以色列衆人將歌唱的、守門的每日所當得的分供給他們。又給利未人當得的分；利未人又給亞倫的子孫當得的分。 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.
