9 Ilia da gesami hea: loba, hagudu dedei dunu da bu adole iasu agoane gesami hea: i, amo Ba: gabiugaia amola Unai amola ela na: iyado Lifai fi dunu.
Two other Levites, Bakbukiah and Unni, stood opposite them in the service.
10 Yosiua egefe da Yoiagime amola Yoiagime egefe da Ilaiasibi amola Ilaiasibi egefe da Yoiada.
Jeshua the high priest was the father of Joiakim, who was the father of Eliashib, who was the father of Joiada,
11 Yoiada egefe da Yonada: ne amola Yonada: ne egefe da Ya: idiua.
who was the father of Jonathan, who was the father of Jaddua.

Amo gobele salasu ouligisu dunu ilia dio da, Ilaiasibi, Yoiada, Yonada: ne amola Ya: idiua. Da: liase da Besia hina bagade ouligisu hou hamonanea, amo dio dedei da dagoi ba: i.
The family leaders of the Levites in the time of Eliashib, Joiada, Johanan, and Jaddua, in addition to those of the priests, were recorded during the reign of Darius the Persian.
23 Be Lifai sosogo fi ilia ouligisu dio da dedenanu, Yonada: ne (Ilaiasibi ea aowa) amo ea ouligisu esoga fisili, bu hame dedei.
As for the genealogy of the sons of Levi, the family leaders up to the time of Johanan, son of Eliashib, were listed in the Book of the Records.
24 Gobele salasu hina dunu amo Ha: siabaia, Sielibaia, Yesua, Binuai amola Ga: demiele ilia da sia: beba: le, Lifai dunu fi da mogili, gilisisu afae afae hamosu. Gilisisu aduna eso afaega da Godema nodosu (ilia da hina bagade Da: ibidi, Gode ea hawa: hamosu dunu, amo ea olelei defele hamosu).
The Levite leaders were Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua, son of Kadmiel, together with their fellow Levites, who stood opposite them, each section giving praise and thanks and responding to one another, as arranged by David, the man of God.
25 Debolo sosodo aligisu dunu ilia dio hagudu dedei, amo da modale ligisisisu sesei Debolo logo ga: su gadenene sosodo aligi. Ilia dio da Ma: danaia, Ba: gabiugaia, Oubadaia, Misiala: me, Da: lamone amola A: gabe.
They were joined by Mattaniah, Bakbukiah, and Obadiah. Meshullam, Talmon, and Akkub were gatekeepers who guarded the storehouses at the gates.
26 Amo dunu huluane da eso amoga Yoiagime (Yosiua egefe amola Yihosada: ge ea aowa), Nihemaia (eagene ouligisu dunu) amola Esela (gobele salasu dunu amo da sema hogolalu, bagade dawa: su), ilia da amo dunu ilia esalebe esoga esalebe ba: i.
They served in the time of Joiakim, son of Jeshua, son of Jozadak, and in the time of Nehemiah the governor and Ezra the priest and scribe.
27 Ilia da moilai bai bagade gagoi dobea Godema imunusa: modale ligiagaloba, ilia da Lifai dunu huluane Yuda soge ganodini esalu amo ilia da gagoi modale ligiagasu gilisisu madelagima: ne, nodosu gesami hea: su amola gisila gisila: su amola sani baidama amoga fidima: ne, misa: ne hiougi.
In order to dedicate the wall of Jerusalem, the Levites were called from everywhere they were living to come to Jerusalem and celebrate with joy the dedication with songs of praise and thanks, accompanied by cymbals, harps, and lyres.
28 Amola Lifai gesami hea: su dunu ilia sosogo fi da ilia moilai Yelusaleme gadenene amo fisili, Yelusaleme moilai bai bagadega doaga: i.
The singers were also brought in from the area around Jerusalem and from the villages of the Netophathites,
29 Ilia moilai amo Nidoufa amola Bede Giliga: le, Giba, A:sama: ifede amola moilai fonobahadi amo gadenene, amo fisili Yelusaleme moilaiga misi.
as well as from Beth-gilgal and from the area of Geba and Azmaveth, for the singers had built villages for themselves all around Jerusalem.
30 Gobele salasu dunu amola Lifai dunu ilia da Gode Ea sema defele, ilisu amola dunu huluane amola logo ga: su amola moilai bai bagade gagoi dobea, amoma Gode Ea sema dodofesu hamosu.
Once the priests and the Levites had purified themselves, they purified the people, the gates, and the wall.
31 Na da gagoi dobea gadodili, Yuda ouligisu dunu gilisi dagoi. Na da ilia dunu gilisisu aduna amo da moilai sisiga: le dadalele masa: ne amo gilisisu ouligima: ne sia: i. Amo dunu da dadalele mogodigili ahoanoba, ilia Godema nodoma: ne, na sia: i. Bisili gilisisu da gagoi gadodili fila heda: iwane lobodafa la: ididili, Isu Ga: su amoga doaga: musa: asi.
I had the leaders of Judah go up on the wall, and arranged two large choirs that to give thanks. One group went to right along the wall to the Refuse Gate.
32 Housia: ia da gesami hea: su dunu ilima fa: no bobogele, mogodigili asi. Amalalu, Yuda ouligisu dunu dogoa mogili, gilisisu aduna hamoi. Gilisisu afae da ema fa: no bobogei.
Hoshaiah and half the leaders of Judah followed them,
33 Amalalu, gobele salasu dunu amo ilia dio da hagudu dedei, ilia da dalabede dusawane fa: no bobogele, mogodigili asi. A: salaia, Esela, Misiala: me, Yuda, Bediamini, Siema: ia, amola Yelemaia. Amo dunu ilia baligia, Segalaia (Yonada: ne egefe amola Siema: ia ea aowa) da fa: no bobogei. Segalaia ea aowalali eno mogili da Ma: danaia, Maiga: ia amola Sa: ge. Amo da A: isa: fe fi dunu.
with Azariah, Ezra, Meshullam,
Judah, Benjamin, Shemaiah, and Jeremiah,
as well as some of the priests with trumpets, and Zechariah, son of Jonathan, son of Shemaiah, son of Mattaniah, son of Micaiah, son of Zaccur, son of Asaph,
36 Segalaia ea baligia, ea fi dunu eno fa: no bobogei, amo Siema: ia, Asa: iliele, Miala: iai, Gilalai, Ma: iai, Nida: niele, Yuda amola Hana: inai. Amo huluane da gesami liligi amo Da: ibidi, Gode Ea fidisu dunu da dusu defele, amo gaguli ahoasu. Sema dawa: su dunu Esela da dunu huluane ilima bisili mogodigili asi.
and his fellow priests, Shemaiah, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, Judah, and Hanani, along with the musical instruments as required by David, the man of God. Ezra the scribe led them.
37 Ilia da Hano Bubuga: su Logo Ga: su amoga doaga: loba, ilia da fa: gu amo da Da: ibidi Moilai Bai Bagadega heda: su amoba: le heda: le, Da: ibidi ea Ouligisu Diasu baligili, Hano Logo Ga: su (amo da Yelusaleme moilai eso mabe la: idi dialu) amoga doaga: i.
At the Fountain Gate they headed straight up by the stairs of the city of David, where the wall goes uphill, above the house of David, and on to the Water Gate on the east.
38 Gesami hea: su dadalei gilisisu eno amo da Godema nodosu, da lobo fofadi la: ididili gagoi da: iya asi. Na amola dunu huluane mogili ilima fa: no bobogele mogodigili asi. Ninia da asili, Gobele Nasu Diasu Gagagula Heda: i amo baligili, Ba: de Gagoi amoga doaga: i.
The other choir group went in the opposite direction. I followed them, along with half the people, on the wall passing the Tower of the Ovens, on to the Broad Wall,
39 Amalalu, ninia da bu asili, Ifala: ime Logo Ga: su, Yesiana Logo Ga: su, Menabo Logo Ga: su amola Hana: niele Gado Gagagula Heda: i Diasu amo huluane baligili, Sibi Logo Ga: suga doaga: i. Bu asili ninia dadalele mogodigili ahoasu da Debolo logo ga: su gadenene dagoi ba: i.
over the Ephraim Gate, the Jeshanah Gate, the Fish Gate, the Tower of Hananel, and the Tower of the Hundred, as far as the Sheep Gate, stopping at the Guard Gate.
40 Gilisisu aduna amo da Godema nodosu iasu da Debolo sogebi amoga doaga: i. Na gilisisu da agoane ba: i.
Both thanksgiving choirs then took their places in God's Temple. I followed with the group of leaders that was with me,
41 Ouligisu dunu amola na, gobele salasu dunu (ilia da dalabede fulabosa ahoanu) ilia dio da, Ilaiagime, Ma: iasia, Miniamine, Maiga: ia, Eliounai, Segalaia amola Ha: nanaia.
along with the priests blowing their trumpets: Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah.
42 Ilima fa: no bobogelalebe ba: i da Ma: iasia, Siema: ia, Elia: isa, Asai, Yihouha: ina: ne, Ma: lagaia, Ila: me amola Isa. Gesami hea: su gilisisu bisili asi dunu da Yesalahaia. Ilia da ha: giwane gesami hea: laluwane mogodigili ahoanebe ba: i.
Then came the singers Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malchijah, Elam, and Ezer, and the choirs sang, directed by Jezrahiah.
43 Amo esoga, ilia da gobele salasu bagohame hamosu. Amola, Gode da ilia dogo amoga hahawane hou bagade olelebeba: le, dunu huluane da hahawane bagadedafa ba: i. Uda amola mano amola huluane da amo hahawane hou gilisi dagoi. Amola ilia da ha: giwane hahawane nodosu hamobeba: le, dunu huluanedafa soge sedaga esalu ilia da nabi.
Many sacrifices were offered that day, celebrating that God had brought them so much happiness, tremendous happiness. The women and children also celebrated, and the sounds of joy in Jerusalem could be heard far away.
44 Amo esoga, ilia da ouligisu dunu, amo da Debolo modale ligisisisu diasu amo ganodini ilia da ‘daide’, bisili fai gagoma amola ifa fage legesu, amo modale ligisisu ouligima: ne ilegesu. Ilia da ifabi moilai hisu hisu amo gadenene, liligi amo sema da Lifai dunu amola gobele salasu dunuma ima: ne sia: i, amo lale modale ligisisu diasu ganodini legesu. Yuda dunu huluane da gobele salasu dunu amola Lifai dunu hahawane ba: i.
On the same day men were put in charge over the storerooms that contained the offerings, the first part of the crops, and tithes. What was allocated by the Law for the priests and Levites was brought into these storerooms from the fields around the towns, because all the people of Judah were happy for the service of the priests and Levites.
45 Bai ilia da sema dodofesu hou amola hou eno huluane Gode Ea hamoma: ne sia: i hou, amo hahawane hamosu. Debolo gesami hea: su dunu amola Debolo sosodo aligisu dunu da ilia hawa: hamosu, hina bagade Da: ibidi amola egefe Soloumane, amo ilia hamoma: ne sia: i defele hamosu.
They were responsible for the worship of their God and for the service of purification, along with the singers and gatekeepers, following the instructions of David and his son Solomon.
46 Musa: hemonega amo hina bagade Da: ibidi amola gesami hea: su dunu A: isa: fe ela esoga amola fa: no, gesami hea: su dunu da bisili Godema nodosu amo hea: lalu.
For long ago, back in the time of David and Asaph, directors had been appointed for the singers and for the songs of praise and thanks to God.
47 Selababele ea esoga amola Nihemaia ea esoga, Isala: ili dunu huluane da eso huluane ha: i manu amola eno liligi amo Debolo gesami hea: su dunu amola Debolo sosodo aligisu dunu fidima: ne iasu. Ilia da agoane iasu. Dunu huluane da sema iasu amo Lifai dunu ilima iasu. Amola, Lifai dunu da sema ilegei defele amo liligi la: idi, gobele salasu dunuma iasu.
So in the time of Zerubbabel and of Nehemiah, everyone in Israel provided the daily food allowances for the singers and the gatekeepers. They also made sure to provide for the other Levites, and the Levites gave a share of this to the descendants of Aaron.
