And the Levites, Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, Mattaniah, they and their brothers were over the hymns,

9 Bakbukia kod Uni, gi jotich kaachiel kodgi nochungʼ momanyore kodgi kuom tije duto.

with Bakbukiah, as well as Hannai, and their brothers, each one in his office.

10 Jeshua ne en wuon Joyakim, Joyakim ne en wuon Eliashib, Eliashib wuon Joyada,

Now Jeshua conceived Joiakim, and Joiakim conceived Eliashib, and Eliashib conceived Joiada,

11 Joyada ne wuon Jonathan, to Jonathan ne wuon Jadua.

and Joiada conceived Jonathan, and Jonathan conceived Jaddua.

12 E ndalo Joyakim, jodolo mane jotend dhoudi ne gin: koa e anywola Seraya ne en Meraya; koa e anywola Jeremia ne en Hanania;

22 Jotend miech jo-Lawi e ndalo mar Eliashib; Joyada, Johanan kod Jadua, kaachiel gi joma ne jodolo, nondik nying-gi e kinde loch mar Darius ruodh Pasia.

The Levites, in the days of Eliashib, and Joiada, and Johanan, and Jaddua, and the priests, were written according to the leaders of the families, during the reign of Darius the Persian.

23 Jotend mier mane ni e dier nyikwa Lawi nyaka e ndalo mar Johanan wuod Eliashib nondik nying-gi e kitap weche mag ndalo.

The sons of Levi, according to the leaders of the families, were written in the book of the words of those days, even to the days of Johanan, the son of Eliashib.

24 To jotend jo-Lawi ne gin: Hashabia, Sherebia, Jeshua wuod Kadmiel, kod jotich kaachiel kodgi, mane ochungʼ ka ngʼiyore ka gipako Nyasaye kendo gidwokone erokamano ka jomoko omo wer to jomoko olo mana kaka Daudi ngʼat Nyasaye nondiko.

Now the leaders of the Levites were Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua, the son of Kadmiel, and their brothers, in their turns, so that they would praise and confess, according to the precept of David, the man of God. And they served equally and in order.

25 Matania, Bakbukia, Obadia, Meshulam, Talmon kod Akub ne gin jorit dhorangeye ma bende ne ngʼiyo kuonde keno man yo rangach.

Mattaniah, and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub, were keepers of the gates and of the vestibules before the gates.

26 Negitiyo e ndalo Joyakim wuod Jeshua, wuod Jozadak, to kendo e ndalo jatelo Nehemia kod Ezra ma jadolo kendo jandiko.

These were in the days of Joiakim, the son of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah, the governor, and of Ezra, the priest and scribe.

27 E sa mane igwedho ohinga mar Jerusalem, jo-Lawi nowal oa kama negidakie mine okelgi Jerusalem mondo gitim nyasi gi mor mogundho gi wende mag erokamano kendo ka gigoyo ongengʼo, nyatiti kod orutu.

Now at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem, they sought the Levites from all their places, so that they might bring them to Jerusalem, and so that they might keep the dedication, and rejoice with thanksgiving, and with singing, and with cymbals, psalteries, and lyres.

28 Jower bende nokel kanyakla koa e gwenge machiegni gi Jerusalem kaka miech jo-Netofath,

Now the sons of the singing men were gathered from the plains surrounding Jerusalem, and from the villages of Netophati,

29 Beth Gilgal, kod e gwengʼ Geba gi Azmaveth, nimar jower nosegero miechgi giwegi machiegni gi Jerusalem.

and from the house of Gilgal, and from the regions of Geba and Azmaveth. For the singing men had built villages for themselves around Jerusalem.

30 Ka jodolo gi jo-Lawi nosepwodhore maler kaka chik dwaro, ne gipwodho ji, dhorangeye, to gi ohinga.

And the priests and the Levites were cleansed, and they cleansed the people, and the gates, and the wall.

31 Ne akelo jotend Juda nyaka ewi ohinga. Bende ne ayiero migepe ariyo madongo mag jower mondo odwok erokamano ni Nyasaye. Achiel kuomgi ne ochungʼ ewi ohinga korachwich, kochiko kama iluongo ni Dhoranga Owuoyo.

Then I caused the leaders of Judah to ascend the wall, and I appointed two great choirs to give praise. And they went to the right upon the wall, toward the dung gate.

32 Hoshaya kod nus mar jotend Juda noluwogi,

And after them went Hoshaiah, and one half part of the leadership of Judah,

33 kaachiel gi Azaria, Ezra, Meshulam,

and Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam,

34 Juda, Benjamin, Shemaya, Jeremia,

Judah, and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah.

35 kaachiel gi jodolo moko man-gi turumbete, kod Zekaria wuod Jonathan, wuod Shemaya, wuod Matania, wuod Mikaya, wuod Zakur, wuod Asaf,

And some of the sons of the priests went forth with trumpets: Zachariah, 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 kod jotich kaachiel kode kaka: Shemaya, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, Juda kod Hanani ka gin-gi thumbe migoyo mane olos gi Daudi ka giluwo kor ohinga mi gikadho ewi od Daudi ngʼat Nyasaye. Ezra ma jandiko notelonegi.

And his brothers, Shemaiah, and Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, and Judah, and Hanani, went forth with the canticles of David, the man of God. And Ezra, the scribe, was before them at the fountain gate.

37 E Ranga Soko negidhi nyime wangʼ achiel ka giidho raidhi mar Dala Maduongʼ mar Daudi ka giluwo kor ohinga mi gikadho ewi od Daudi nyaka e Dhoranga Pi mantiere yo wuok chiengʼ.

And opposite them, they ascended by the steps of the city of David, at the ascent of the wall above the house of David, and as far as the water gate to the east.

38 Migawo mar jower mar ariyo nowuotho kochiko komachielo. Ne aluwogi nyaka ewi ohinga malo, kaachiel gi nus mar ji ka gikalo kama Oger Motingʼore gi Malo mar Kendo mag Mach nyaka e Ohinga Malach,

And the second choir of those who gave thanks went forth on the opposite side, and I went after them, and one half part of the people were upon the wall, and upon the tower of the furnaces, as far as the widest wall,

39 negikadho Ranga Efraim, Ranga Jeshana, Ranga Rech, Kama Otingʼore gi Malo mar Hananel kod Kama Otingʼore gi Malo ma Mia Achiel nyaka ochopo Ranga Rombe. Negichungo e Ranga Od jarito.

and above the gate of Ephraim, and above the ancient gate, and above the fish gate, and the tower of Hananel, and the tower of Hamath, and as far as the flock gate. And they stood still at the watch gate.

40 Bangʼ ka migepe ariyo mar jowergo nosedwoko erokamano ni Nyasaye; negikawo keregi e od Nyasaye, eka an bende kamano kaachiel gi nus mar jotelo,

And the two choirs of those who gave praise stood still at the house of God, with myself and one half part of the magistrates who were with me.

41 gi jodolo kaka, Eliakim, Maseya, Miniamin, Mikaya, Elioenai, Zekaria gi Hanania ka gin kod turumbete mag-gi.

And the priests, Eliakim, Maaseiah, Mijamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, Hananiah, went forth with trumpets,

42 Bende ne nitiere Maseya, Shemaya, Eliazar, Uzi, Jehohanan, Malkija, Elam kod Ezer. Jower nower kotelnegi gi Jezrahia.

with Maaseiah, and Shemaiah, and Eleazar, and Uzzi, and Jehohanan, and Malchijah, and Elam, and Ezer. And the singers were singing clearly, and Jezrahiah was their foremost leader.

43 To e odiechiengno negichiwo misango maduongʼ ka gimor nikech Nyasaye ne osemiyogi mor maduongʼ. Mon kod nyithindo bende ne mor. Koko mar mor mane ni e Jerusalem ne inyalo winjo gi kuma bor.

And on that day, they immolated great sacrifices, and they rejoiced. For God had caused them to rejoice with great joy. And their wives and children also were glad. And the rejoicing of Jerusalem was heard from far away.

44 E sechego ji noyier mondo orit kuonde keno mag chiwruok, olembe mokwongo kod achiel kuom apar. Ne puothe machiegni gi mier matindo, negikelo e od keno bath gigo midwaro kuom Chik ne jodolo kod jo-Lawi, nimar Juda ne mor gi puonj mar jodolo gi jo-Lawi.

On that day also, they enrolled men over the storehouses of the treasury, for the libations, and for the first-fruits, and for the tithes, so that the leaders of the city might bring these in, by them, with proper thanksgiving, for the priests and the Levites. For Judah was rejoicing in the priests and the Levites who were assisting.

45 Negitiyo tich Nyasachgi kod tich mar pwodhruok, mana kaka jower gi jorit Rangeye notimo, kaluwore gi chike mag Daudi kod wuode Solomon.

And they kept the vigil of their God, and the vigil of expiation, with the singing men and the gatekeepers, in accord with the precept of David, and of Solomon, his son.

46 E ndalo mar Daudi kod Asaf ema ne telone wende mag pak kod mag goyo erokamano ni Nyasaye nochakore.

For in the days of David and Asaph, from the beginning, there were leaders appointed over the singers, to give praise in verses, and to confess to God.

47 Kendo e ndalo Zerubabel gi Nehemia, jo-Israel duto nochako kelo pok mapile pile ni jower kod jorit dhorangeye. Bende negiketo tenge pok ni jo-Lawi mamoko, to jo-Lawi bende nomiyo nyikwa Harun pokgi.

And all of Israel, in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah, gave portions to the singing men and to the gatekeepers, for each day, and they sanctified the Levites, and the Levites sanctified the sons of Aaron.
