8 Moreover the Levites: Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, and Mattaniah, who was over the thanksgiving, he and his brothers.

9 Also Bakbukiah and Unno, their brothers, were opposite them according to their offices.

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.
Woŋlɔ nunɔlawo kple Levitɔwo ƒe ƒomeawo ƒe tatɔwo ƒe dzidzimewo da ɖi le Persia fia, Darius ƒe dziɖuɣi le Levitɔ siwo nye Eliasib, Yoiada, Yohanan kple Yaɖua la ŋɔli.
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.
Le Kronika alo Nyadzɔdzɔwo ƒe Agbalẽwo me la, woŋlɔ Levitɔwo ƒe tatɔwo ƒe ŋkɔwo ɖi va se ɖe Yohanan, Eliasib ƒe vi dzi.
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.
Le ɣe ma ɣi me la, Levitɔwo ƒe tatɔwoe nye: Hasabia, Serebia kple Yesua, Kadmiel ƒe vi. Woƒe kpeɖeŋutɔwo tsia tsitre ɖe wo ŋgɔ, eye wokpena ɖe wo ŋu le kafukafu kple akpedada wɔnawo me abe ale si David, Mawu ƒe ame la ɖoe da ɖi ene.
25 Mattaniah, and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub, were porters keeping the watch at the store-houses of the gates.
Agbonudzɔla siwo dzɔa nudzɔdzɔwo dzraɖoƒewo ƒe agboawo nu ŋu la woe nye: Matania, Bakbukia, Obadia, Mesulam, Talmon kple Akub.
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.
Ame siawoe wɔ dɔ le Yoyakim, Yesua ƒe vi kple Yozadak ƒe tɔgbuiyɔvi ŋɔli kple esi Nehemia nye mɔmefia, eye Ezra nye nunɔla kple agbalẽfiala.
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.
Esi wonɔ Yerusalem ƒe gli yeyeawo ŋu kɔm la, Levitɔwo katã tso anyigba la ƒe akpa sia akpa va Yerusalem be yewoana kpekpeɖeŋu le wɔnawo me, eye yewoakpɔ gome le dzidzɔŋkekenyui la ɖuɖu me kple woƒe akpedada, gakogoewo, hadzidziwo kple kasaŋkuwo.
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,
Hadzihamenɔlawo hã va Yerusalem tso kɔƒe siwo ƒo xlãe kple Netofatitɔwo ƒe kɔƒewo me
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.
kple Bet Gilgal kple Geba nutowo me kple Azmavet, elabena woƒe hadzilawo tso kɔƒewo na wo ɖokuiwo le Yerusalem gbɔ.
30 And the priests and the Levites purified themselves, and they purified the people, and the gates, and the wall.
Nunɔlawo kple Levitɔwo kɔ wo ɖokuiwo ŋu gbã, emegbe la, wokɔ ameawo, agboawo kple gli la hã ŋu.
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,
Mekplɔ Yudatɔwo ƒe kplɔlawo yi gli la tame, eye mena hã be hadziha gã eve nadzi akpedaha. Hadziha ɖeka azɔ gli la tame ato ɖusime aɖo ta Akɔligbo la gbɔ.
32 and after them went Hoshaiah, and half of the rulers of Judah,
Hosaya kple Yuda ƒe kplɔlawo ƒe afã adze wo yome,
33 and Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam,
kpe ɖe Azaria, Ezra, Mesulam,
34 Judah, and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah,
Yuda, Benyamin, Semaya kple Yeremia ŋu.
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,
Kpe ɖe ame siawo ŋu la, nunɔla siwo lé kpẽ ɖe asi kple Zekaria, Yonatan ƒe vi, Semaya ƒe vi, Matania ƒe vi, Mikaya ƒe vi, Zakur ƒe vi, Asaf ƒe vi,
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.
kple eƒe kpeɖeŋutɔwo, Semaya, Azarel, Milalai, Milalai, Gilalai, Mai, Netanel, Yuda kple Hanani la tsɔ woƒe haƒonuwo abe ale si David, Mawu ƒe ame la ɖoe da di ene. Ezra, agbalẽfiala la nɔ ŋgɔ na ameha la.
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.
Esi woɖo Tsidzidzigbo la gbɔ la, woɖo ta ŋgɔ tẽe, lia atrakpui siwo yi mɔ la gbɔ le David ƒe du xoxo la me. Tso afi sia la, woyi Tsigbo la gbɔ le ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo.
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,
Menɔ hatsotso evelia me, míeto mɔ evelia be míaɖado go wo. Míezɔ tso Kpodzoxɔ Kɔkɔ la gbɔ yi Gli Keke la gbɔ,
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.
heyi Efraimgbo kple Agbo Xoxo la gbɔ. Míeto Tɔmelãgbo la kple Hananel ƒe Xɔ Kɔkɔ la ŋu, eye míeyi Alafa ƒe Xɔ Kɔkɔ la gbɔ, heyi Alẽgbo la gbɔ, eye míetɔ ɖe Gaxɔgbo la gbɔ.
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,
Hadziha eve siwo dzia akpedaha la nɔ wo nɔƒe le gbedoxɔ la me. Nenema kee nye nye hã kple dɔnunɔlawo ƒe afã
41 and the priests, Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with trumpets,
kple nunɔla siawo: Eliakim, Maaseya, Miniamin, Mikaya, Elioenai, Zekaria kple Hananiya kple woƒe kpẽwo,
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.
eye ame siawo hã kpe ɖe wo ŋuti: Maaseya, Semaya, Eleazar, Uzi, Yehohanan, Malkiya, Elam kple Ezer. Hadziha siawo dzi ha le Yezrahia ƒe kpɔkplɔ te.
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.
Míesa vɔ geɖewo le dzidzɔŋkeke sia dzi, elabena Mawu na mɔnukpɔkpɔ mí be míakpɔ dzidzɔ gã aɖe. Nyɔnuwo kple ɖeviwo hã kpɔ dzidzɔ, eye wose dzidzɔɣli tso Yerusalem le didiƒewo ke!
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.
Gbe ma gbe la, woɖo ŋutsu aɖewo be woakpɔ nudzraɖoƒewo, nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsanuwo, nu ewoliawo nana kple nuŋeŋe gbãtɔwo nana dzi, eye woaxɔ nu siawo tso agblewo me abe ale si Mose ƒe Sewo ɖoe da ɖi ene. Wotsɔ nunana siawo na nunɔlawo kple Levitɔwo, elabena Yuda ƒe viwo kpɔ ŋudzedze le nunɔlawo kple Leviviwo ƒe dɔwɔwɔ ŋu.
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.
Wokpɔ ŋudzedze le hadzilawo, agbonudzɔlawo, ame siwo naa kpekpeɖeŋu le mawusubɔsubɔ kple ameŋutikɔkɔ wɔnawo me le Fia David kple via Fia Solomo ƒe ɖoɖoawo nu hã ŋu.
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.
Ɖoɖo be hafialawo nakplɔ hadzilawo le kafukafuhawo kple akpedahawo dzidzi na Mawu me la li xoxo tso David kple Asaf ŋɔli.
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.
Ale fifia, le Zerubabel kple Nehemia ŋɔli la, Israel blibo la naa gbe sia gbe ƒe nuɖuɖu hadzihamenɔlawo, agbonudzɔlawo kple Levitɔwo. Levitɔwo hã tsɔa nu si woxɔna la ƒe akpa aɖe na Aron, nunɔla la ƒe dzidzimeviwo.
