8 Moreover the Levites: Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, and Mattaniah, who was over the thanksgiving, he and his brothers.
Hahoi Levihnaw teh, Jeshua, Binnui, Kedmiel, Sherebiah, Judah hoi Mathaniah, Mathaniah teh a hmaunawnghanaw hoi lunghawilawkdeinae koe kahrawikung lah ao.
9 Also Bakbukiah and Unno, their brothers, were opposite them according to their offices.

12 And in the days of Joiakim were priests, heads of fathers: of Seraiah, Meraiah, of Jeremiah, Hananiah,

22 As for the Levites, in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, and Johanan, and Jaddua, there were recorded the heads of fathers, also the priests, in the reign of Darius the Persian.
Eliashib, Joiada, Johanan hoi Jaddua tinaw e senah, vaihma lah kaawm niteh, napanaw dawk lû lah lengkaleng kaawm e naw hah, Persia tami Darius se totouh, cungpam dawk min pakhum e lah ao.
23 The sons of Levi, heads of fathers, were written in the book of the chronicles, even until the days of Johanan the son of Eliashib.
Eliashib capa Johanan se totouh, Levihnaw imthung lahoi lû lah kaawmnaw hah cungpam dawk min pakhum e lah ao.
24 And the chiefs of the Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua the son of Kadmiel, with their brothers opposite them, to praise and give thanks, according to the commandment of David the man of God, watch next to watch.
Levihnaw dawk kacuenaw: Hashabiah, Sherebiah hoi Kadmiel capa Jeshua tinaw teh, Cathut e tami Devit e kâpoelawk patetlah a hmaunawnghanaw hoi cungtalah pholen hane hoi, lunghawi lawk dei hanelah, kâletta lahoi a tawk awh.
25 Mattaniah, and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub, were porters keeping the watch at the store-houses of the gates.
Mattaniah, Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Telmon hoi Akkub tinaw teh, takhang teng e hnopai ta e hoi takhang ka ring e lah ao awh.
26 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 the scribe.
Ahnimanaw teh Jozadak capa, Jeshua capa, Joiakim se nah, ram ukkung Nehemiah hoi kâlawk kacangkhaikung vaihma Ezra se nah ao awh.
27 And at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought the Levites out of all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem to keep the dedication with gladness, both with thanksgivings, and with singing, with cymbals, psalteries, and with harps.
Jerusalem rapan hah hnawngnae a sak toteh, cecak, ratoung, tamawi, tum laihoi la sak laihoi, nawmnae, lunghawilawkdeinae hoi cungtalah hnawngnae sak nahanelah, Levihnaw hah a tawng awh teh, a onae hmuen tangkuem koehoi Jerusalem vah a kaw awh.
28 And the sons of the singers gathered themselves together, both out of the plain round about Jerusalem, and from the villages of the Netophathites,
La kasakthainaw teh Jerusalem kho tengpam koe lah thoseh, Netophah kho hoi thoseh,
29 also from Beth-gilgal, and out of the fields of Geba and Azmaveth; for the singers had built for them villages round about Jerusalem.
Gilgal im hoi thoseh, Geba hoi Azmaveth ram koehoi thoseh, a mahmawk a kamkhueng awh.
30 And the priests and the Levites purified themselves, and they purified the people, and the gates, and the wall.
Vaihma hoi Levihnaw hai amahoima thoseh, taminaw thoseh, kho longkha thoseh, kho rapan thoseh a thoung sak awh.
31 Then I brought up the rulers of Judah upon the wall, and appointed two great companies that gave thanks and went in procession, one went on the right hand upon the wall toward the dung gate,
Hattoteh Judah bawinaw hah rapan van ka ceikhai teh, pholen la ka sak hanelah, phu hni touh lah ka kapek. Phu touh teh aranglah hoi a kâhei teh vaipuen longkha koe kho rapan van a cei awh.
32 and after them went Hoshaiah, and half of the rulers of Judah,
Ahnimouh hnuk vah Hoshaiah hoi Judah kacuenaw tangawn,
33 and Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam,
Azariah, Ezra, Meshullam,
34 Judah, and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah,
Judah, Benjamin, Shemaiah hoi Jeremiah tinaw a kâbang awh.
35 and certain of the priests' sons with trumpets: Zechariah the son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Micaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph,
Hahoi mongka ka patuem e vaihmanaw, Jonathan capa, Zekhariah, Shemaiah capa, Mathanial capa, Michaiah capa, Zakkur capa, Asaph capa,
36 and his brothers, Shemaiah, and Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, and Judah, Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God, and Ezra the scribe was ahead of them.
Hahoi a hmaunawngha, Shemaiah, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, Judah hoi Hanani tinaw ni, Cathut e tami Devit e tumkhawngnaw heh a patuep awh teh, a kâbang awh. Kâlawk kacangkhaikung Ezra teh ahnimae hmalah a cei.
37 And by the fountain gate, and straight before them, they went up by the stairs of the city of David, at the ascent of the wall, above the house of David, even to the water gate eastward.
Ahnimae kadangka lah kaawm e tuiphuek khu longkha koe a pha awh torei, khorapan luennae Devit kho khalai hoi a luen awh teh, Devit im lathueng kanîtholah, Tui longkha totouh a cei awh.
38 And the other company of those who gave thanks went to meet them, and I after them, with the half of the people, upon the wall, above the tower of the furnaces, even to the broad wall,
La kasakkung tangawn teh avoilah a kamlang awh teh, kai hoi tangawn teh, khorapan van, takhuen imrasang koehoi, khorapan akawnae koe totouh a kâbang awh.
39 and above the gate of Ephraim, and by the old gate, and by the fish gate, and the tower of Hananel, and the tower of Hammeah, even to the sheep gate. And they stood still in the gate of the guard.
Ephraim longkha, longkha karuem, tanga longkha, Hananel imrasang, Meah imrasang koehoi kamtawng teh, tu longkha totouh a kâbang awh hnukkhu, thongim longkha koe a kangdue awh.
40 So stood the two companies of those who gave thanks in the house of God, and I, and the half of the rulers with me,
Hahoi la kasakkung phu hni touh teh, Cathut im vah a kangdue awh teh, a tangawn e bawinaw teh kai hoi cungtalah,
41 and the priests, Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with trumpets,
Mongka ka patuem e vaihma Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Mikaiah, Elioenai, Zekhariah hoi Hananiah,
42 and Maaseiah, and Shemaiah, and Eleazar, and Uzzi, and Jehohanan, and Malchijah, and Elam, and Ezer. And the singers sang loud, with Jezrahiah their overseer.
Hahoi, Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malkhijah, Elam hoi Ezer tinaw hai cungtalah a kangdue awh. La kasakkungnaw teh kahrawikung Jezrahiah hoi cungtalah puenghoi la a sak awh.
43 And they offered great sacrifices that day, and rejoiced, for God had made them rejoice with great joy. And the women also and the children rejoiced, so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard even afar off.
Hot hnin vah vaihmanaw ni thuengnae moikapap a sak awh teh, a konawm awh. Puenghoi konawmnae Cathut ni a poe awh dawkvah, yunaw hoi canaw hai a konawm awh. Hatdawkvah, Jerusalem konawnnae hah ahlanae koehoi patenghai thai e lah ao.
44 And on that day men were appointed over the chambers for the treasures, for the heave offerings, for the first-fruits, and for the tithes, to gather into them, according to the fields of the cities, the portions appointed by the law for the priests and Levites. For Judah rejoiced for the priests and for the Levites who served.
Hatnavah Bawkim dawk thaw kakuennaw, vaihmanaw hoi Levihnaw teh karingkung lah ao awh dawkvah, Judahnaw teh a lungkuep awh teh, vaihmanaw hoi Levih ni a pang awh hane pasoumhno aluepaw, pung hra pung touh hah, kho tangkuem hoi a pâkhueng awh teh, hmoun nahane rakhannaw karingkung hanelah thaw a poe awh.
45 And they kept the charge of their God, and the charge of the purification, and also the singers and the porters, according to the commandment of David, and of Solomon his son.
La kasakkungnaw hoi tho karingkungnaw hai Devit capa Solomon e kâpoelawk patetlah amamae Cathut thaw hoi thoungnae thaw hah a tawk awh.
46 For in the days of David and Asaph of old there was a chief of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving to God.
Devit hoi Asaph se navah, Cathut koe lunghawilawkdeinae kahrawikungnaw teh ao awh.
47 And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah, gave the portions of the singers and the porters as every day required. And they set apart that which was for the Levites, and the Levites set apart that which was for the sons of Aaron.
Zerubbabel hoi Nehemiah se nahai la kasakkungnaw hoi tho karingkungnaw hah, hnintangkuem a pang awh hane rawca hah a poe awh. Levihnaw hah ka thoung hnonaw a poe awh. Levihnaw ni hai Aron capanaw coe hanelah a kapek pouh awh.
