22 In the days of Eliashib, Joiada, Johanan, and Jaddua, during the reign of Darius the Persian, the heads of the families of the Levites and priests were recorded.
Eliashib, Joiada, Johanan neh Jaddua tue vaengkah Levi napa boeilu rhoek, Persian Darius ram khuikah khosoih rhoek khaw a thum sak.
23 As for the descendants of Levi, the family heads up to the days of Johanan son of Eliashib were recorded in the Book of the Chronicles.
Levi koca kah a napa boeilu rhoek te Eliashib capa Johanan tue hil kah khokhuen olka cabu khuiah a daek uh.
24 The leaders of the Levites were Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua son of Kadmiel, along with their associates, who stood across from them to give praise and thanksgiving as one section alternated with the other, as prescribed by David the man of God.
Levi boeilu rhoek tah Hashabiah, Sherebiah, Kadmiel capa Jeshua ni. Amih boeinaphung tah Pathen kah hlang David olpaek bangla thangthen ham neh uem ham vaengah a rhoi, rhoi neh a hmai la paiuh.
25 Mattaniah, Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, and Akkub were gatekeepers who guarded the storerooms at the gates.
Mattaniah, Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub tah vongka, rhueng im ah thoh tawt, rhaltawt a ngaithuen uh.
26 They served in the days of Joiakim son of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor and Ezra the priest and scribe.
He rhoek tah Jozadak koca, Jeshua capa Joiakim tue vaengkah neh rhalboei Nehemiah, cadaek khosoih Ezra tue vaengkah ni.
27 At the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem, the Levites were sought out from all their homes and brought to Jerusalem to celebrate the joyous dedication with thanksgiving and singing, accompanied by cymbals, harps, and lyres.
Jerusalem vongtung nawnnah vaengah Levi rhoek te a hmuen tom lamloh a toem uh. Nawnnah neh kohoenah te uemonah neh, lumlaa neh, tlaklak thangpa, rhotoeng neh saii hamla Jerusalem la a khuen.
28 The singers were also assembled from the region around Jerusalem, from the villages of the Netophathites,
Laa sa koca rhoek te Jerusalem kaepvai vannaem lamkah neh, Netophah vangca rhoek lamkah te a coi uh.
29 from Beth-gilgal, and from the fields of Geba and Azmaveth, for they had built villages for themselves around Jerusalem.
Bethgilgal lamkah khaw, Geba neh Azmaveth khohmuen lamkah khaw, Jerusalem kaepvai kah laa sa rhoek long tah, amamih ham vangca a suen uh.
30 After the priests and Levites had purified themselves, they purified the people, the gates, and the wall.
Khosoih rhoek neh Levi rhoek te a caihcil uh phoeiah tah pilnam neh vongka rhoek khaw, vongtung khaw a caihcil uh.
31 Then I brought the leaders of Judah up on the wall, and I appointed two great thanksgiving choirs. One was to proceed along the top of the wall to the right, toward the Dung Gate.
Te phoeiah Judah mangpa rhoek te vongtung kah a soi la ka luei sak. Te vaengah uemonah khaw vongtung kah a soi ah natva vongka taengla bantang ben ah bong nit la muep ka pai sak.
32 Hoshaiah and half the leaders of Judah followed,
Amih hnukah Hoshaiah neh Judah mangpa rhakthuem rhoek te cet.
33 along with Azariah, Ezra, Meshullam,
Te phoeiah tah Azariah, Ezra neh Meshullam.
34 Judah, Benjamin, Shemaiah, Jeremiah,
Judah, Benjamin, Shemaiah neh Jeremiah.
35 and some of the priests with trumpets, and also Zechariah son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Micaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph,
Te phoeiah khosoih koca rhoek lamkah Asaph koca, Zakkuur koca, Mikaiah koca, Mattaniah koca, Shemaiah koca, Jonathan capa Zekhariah tah olueng neh cet.
36 and his associates—Shemaiah, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, Judah, and Hanani—with the musical instruments prescribed by David the man of God. Ezra the scribe led the procession.
Shemaiah, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, Judah neh Hanani tah a boeinaphung ah Pathen kah hlang, David kah lumlaa tumbael neh pueiuh. Amih hmai ah cadaek Ezra cet.
37 At the Fountain Gate they climbed the steps of the City of David on the ascent to the wall and passed above the house of David to the Water Gate on the east.
Tuiphuet vongka ah tah amih hmai ah David khopuei kah tangtlaeng longah David im kungkueng kah vongtung hil neh khocuk tui kah vongka hil te tangkham la luei uh.
38 The second thanksgiving choir proceeded to the left, and I followed it with half the people along the top of the wall, past the Tower of the Ovens to the Broad Wall,
Pabae kah uemonah khaw rhaldan ah cet uh. Te vaengah kai khaw a hnuk ah pilnam rhakthuem neh vongtung so lamloh tapkhuel rhaltoengim hil neh vongtung a thah hil pat ka cetuh.
39 over the Gate of Ephraim, the Jeshanah Gate, the Fish Gate, the Tower of Hananel, and the Tower of the Hundred, as far as the Sheep Gate. And they stopped at the Gate of the Guard.
Te phoeiah Ephraim neh Jeshanah vongka hil, nga vongka neh Hananel rhaltoengim ah khaw, Meah rhaltoengim neh boiva vongka hil cet uh tih thongim vongka ah pai uh.
40 The two thanksgiving choirs then stood in the house of God, as did I, along with the half of the officials accompanying me,
Pathen im ah uemonah bok a pai vaengah kai khaw kamah taengah ukkung rhakthuem om.
41 as well as the priests with their trumpets—Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah—
Khosoih rhoek Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Mikaiah, Elioenai, Zekhariah, Hananiah khaw olueng neh paiuh.
42 and also Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malchijah, Elam, and Ezer. Then the choirs sang out under the direction of Jezrahiah.
Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malkhiah, Elam, Ezer neh hlangtawt Izrahiah kah laa sak khaw a yaak uh.
43 On that day they offered great sacrifices, rejoicing because God had given them great joy. The women and children also rejoiced, so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard from afar.
Te khohnin ah hmueih len a nawn uh. Te vaengah Pathen loh amih te kohoenah a len la ko a hoe sak dongah a kohoe uh. Huta camoe khaw a kohoe uh tih Jerusalem kah kohoenah te khola lamloh a yaak.
44 And on that same day men were appointed over the rooms that housed the supplies, contributions, firstfruits, and tithes. The portions specified by the Law for the priests and Levites were gathered into these storerooms from the fields of the villages, because Judah rejoiced over the priests and Levites who were serving.
Te vaeng khohnin ah thakvoh khai im ah khosaa ham, thaihcuek ham, parha pakhat ham khaw hlang a soep uh. Khopuei khohmuen lamkah te olkhueng dongkah buham bangla khosoih ham neh Levi rhoek ham a khuila a calui uh. Judah kah kohoenah khaw khosoih rhoek so neh aka pai puei Levi rhoek soah khaw om.
45 They performed the service of their God and the service of purification, along with the singers and gatekeepers, as David and his son Solomon had prescribed.
Laa sa rhoek neh thoh tawt rhoek long khaw David neh a capa Solomon kah olpaek bangla a Pathen kah a kuek neh ciimnah dongah a kuek te a ngaithuen uh.
46 For long ago, in the days of David and Asaph, there were directors for the singers and for the songs of praise and thanksgiving to God.
Hlamat kah David neh Asaph tue vaengah tah Pathen taengah koehnah laa aka sa tih aka uem boeilu rhoek kah boeilu om.
47 So in the days of Zerubbabel and Nehemiah, all Israel contributed the daily portions for the singers and gatekeepers. They also set aside daily portions for the Levites, and the Levites set aside daily portions for the descendants of Aaron.
Te dongah Israel pum loh Zerubbabel tue neh Nehemiah tue vaengah a hnin, hnin kah aitlaeng bangla laa sa rhoek neh thoh tawt rhoek te buham a moe uh. Levi rhoek ham khaw a rhoe uh tih Levi rhoek loh Aaron koca rhoek ham a rhoe pauh.
