Nehemiah 12
1 Now these are the priests and Levites who went up with Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel and with Jeshua: Seraiah, Jeremiah, Ezra,
Isaan kunneen lubootaa fi Lewwota warra Zarubaabel ilma Sheʼaltiiʼeelii fi Iyyaasuu wajjin deebiʼanii dha: Seraayaa, Ermiyaas, Izraa,
2 Amariah, Malluch, Hattush,
Amariyaa, Maluuk, Haxuush,
3 Shecaniah, Rehum, Meremoth,
Shekaaniyaa, Rehuum, Mereemooti,
4 Iddo, Ginnethon, Abijah,
Iddoo, Ginetoon, Abiyaa,
5 Mijamin, Maadiah, Bilgah,
Miyaamiin, Maʼaadiyaa, Bilgaa,
6 Shemaiah, Joiarib, Jedaiah,
Shemaaʼiyaa, Yooyaariib, Yedaaʼiyaa,
7 Sallu, Amok, Hilkiah, and Jedaiah. These were the leaders of the priests and their associates in the days of Jeshua.
Saʼaaluu, Aamoq, Hilqiyaa fi Yedaaʼiyaa. Warri kun bara Iyyaasuu keessa hooggantoota lubootaatii fi obboloota isaanii turan.
8 The Levites were Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, and Mattaniah, who, with his associates, led the songs of thanksgiving.
Lewwonni immoo Yeeshuuʼaa, Binuuyii, Qadmiiʼeel, Sheereebiyaa, Yihuudaa akkasumas Mataaniyaa isa obboloota isaa wajjin faarfannaa galataatti itti gaafatamaa ture sana turan.
9 Bakbukiah and Unni, their associates, stood across from them in the services.
Obboleeyyan isaanii Baqbuqiyaa fi Unniin yeroo tajaajilaatti fuullee isaanii dhadhaabachaa turan.
10 Jeshua was the father of Joiakim, Joiakim was the father of Eliashib, Eliashib was the father of Joiada,
Iyyaasuun abbaa Yooyaaqiim; Yooyaaqiim abbaa Eliyaashiib; Eliyaashiib abbaa Yooyaadaa ti;
11 Joiada was the father of Jonathan, and Jonathan was the father of Jaddua.
Yooyaadaan abbaa Yoonaataan; Yoonaataan abbaa Yaaduʼaa ti.
12 In the days of Joiakim, these were the heads of the priestly families: of the family of Seraiah, Meraiah; of Jeremiah, Hananiah;
Isaan kunneen bara Yooyaaqiim keessa abbootii maatiiwwan lubootaa turan: Maatii Seraayaa keessaa Meraayaa; maatii Ermiyaas keessaa Hanaaniyaa;
13 of Ezra, Meshullam; of Amariah, Jehohanan;

21 of Hilkiah, Hashabiah; and of Jedaiah, Nethanel.
maatii Hilqiyaa keessaa Hashabiyaa; maatii Yedaaʼiyaa keessaa Naatnaaʼel.
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.
Abbootiin maatii Lewwotaa bara Eliyaashiib, Yooyaadaa, Yoohaanaanii fi bara Yaaduʼaa keessa akkasumas abbootiin maatii lubootaa bara mootummaa Daariyoos namicha Faares sanaa keessa galmeeffaman.
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.
Lewwonni warri abbootii maatii turan hamma bara Yoohaanaan ilma Eliyaashiibitti kitaaba seenaa keessatti galmeeffaman.
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.
Hangafoonni Lewwotaas Hashabiyaa, Sheereebiyaa, Yeeshuʼaa ilma Qadmiiʼeel akkasumas obboloota isaanii warra akkuma Daawit namni Waaqaa sun ajajetti faarfannaa fi galata dhiʼeessuudhaaf fuullee isaanii dhaabatanii gareen tokko garee kaan jalaa qabu sana turan.
25 Mattaniah, Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, and Akkub were gatekeepers who guarded the storerooms at the gates.
Mataaniyaan, Baqbuqiyaan, Obaadiyaan, Meshulaam, Talmoonii fi Aquub mankuusaalee karrawwan bira jiran eegu turan.
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.
Isaanis bara Yooyaaqiim ilma Iyyaasuu, ilma Yoozaadaaq keessa, bara Nahimiyaa bulchaa biyyaatii fi bara Izraa lubicha barreessaa sanaa keessa tajaajilaa turan.
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.
Yeroo eebba dallaa Yerusaalemitti Lewwonni akka faarfannaa galataatiin, kililleedhaan, baganaa fi kiraaraan ayyaana eebbaa sana gammachuun ayyaaneffataniif iddoo jiraatan hundaa barbaadamanii gara Yerusaalem fidaman.
28 The singers were also assembled from the region around Jerusalem, from the villages of the Netophathites,
Faarfattoonnis biyya naannoo Yerusaalem jechuunis gandoota Netoofotaatii,
29 from Beth-gilgal, and from the fields of Geba and Azmaveth, for they had built villages for themselves around Jerusalem.
Beet Gilgaalii, naannoo Gebaatii fi Azmaawetitti walitti fidaman; faarfattoonni naannoo Yerusaalemitti gandoota ofii isaanii ijaarratanii turaniitii.
30 After the priests and Levites had purified themselves, they purified the people, the gates, and the wall.
Luboonnii fi Lewwonnis erga akka seeraatti of qulqulleessanii booddee saba, karrawwanii fi dallaa sana qulqulleessan.
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.
Anis akka hooggantoonni Yihuudaa dallaatti ol baʼan nan godhe. Akkasumas akka isaan galata dhiʼeessaniif tuuta faarfattootaa lama nan ramade. Tuunni tokko karaa mirgaatiin dallaa irraan gara Karra Dikee dhaqe.
32 Hoshaiah and half the leaders of Judah followed,
Hooshaʼiyaa fi hooggantoota Yihuudaa keessaa walakkaan,
33 along with Azariah, Ezra, Meshullam,
Azaariyaa, Izraa, Meshulaam,
34 Judah, Benjamin, Shemaiah, Jeremiah,
Yihuudaa, Beniyaam, Shemaaʼiyaa fi Ermiyaas wajjin isaan duukaa buʼan;
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,
akkasumas luboonni malakata qabatan tokko tokkoo fi Zakkaariyaas ilmi Yoonaataan, ilmi Shemaaʼiyaa, ilmi Mataaniyaa, Miikaayaa, ilmi Zakuur, ilmi Asaaf isaan duukaa buʼan;
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.
amma illee obboloota isaa jechuunis Shemaaʼiyaan, Azariʼeel, Miilaalaayi, Gilaalayi, Maaʼayi, Naatnaaʼel, Yihuudaa fi Hanaaniim akkuma Daawit namni Waaqaa sun ajajetti meeshaa faarfannaa fudhatanii dhaqan. Izraan barreessaan sun immoo isaan hoogganaa ture.
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.
Isaanis Karra Burqaa biraa kaʼanii gulantaawwan Magaalaa Daawit iddoo dallaan ittiin ol kaʼu sanaan mana Daawit irraan qajeelanii gara Karra Bishaanii kan gama baʼa biiftuutti ol baʼan.
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,
Tuunni faarfattootaa lammaffaan immoo gara bitaatti qajeele. Anis gartokkee sabaa wajjin dallaa gubbaadhaan gara Gamoo ol dheeraa Iddoo Ibiddaatii fi Dallaa Balʼaatti isaan duukaa buʼe;
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.
akkasumas ani Karra Efreem irraan, karaa Karra Moofaa, karaa Karra Qurxummii, karaa Gamoo ol dheeraa Hanaaniʼeelii fi Karaa Gamoo ol dheeraa Dhibbaatiin hamma Karra Hoolotaatti isaan duukaa nan buʼe. Isaanis Karra Eegdotaa bira gaʼanii dhaabatan.
40 The two thanksgiving choirs then stood in the house of God, as did I, along with the half of the officials accompanying me,
Tuunni faarfattootaa kan galata dhiʼeesse sun lachuu mana Waaqaa keessatti iddoo isaa qabate; anis qondaaltota gartokko wajjin iddoo nan qabadhe;
41 as well as the priests with their trumpets—Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah—
amma illee luboonni jechuunis Eliiyaaqiim, Maʼaseyaan, Miiniyaamiin, Miikaayaan, Eliiyooʼeenayin, Zakkaariyaasii fi Hanaaniyaan malakata isaanii qabatanii
42 and also Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malchijah, Elam, and Ezer. Then the choirs sang out under the direction of Jezrahiah.
Maʼaseyaan, Shemaaʼiyaan, Eleʼaazaar, Ooziin, Yehohaanaaniin, Malkiyaan, Eelaamii fi Eezer iddoo iddoo isaanii qabatan. Faarfattoonni immoo Yizrahiyaadhaan qajeelfamanii faarfatan.
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.
Isaanis sababii Waaqni gammachuu guddaa isaaniif kenneef gaafas gammadaa aarsaa guddaa dhiʼeessan. Dubartoonnii fi ijoolleenis ni gammadan. Sagaleen gammachuu Yerusaalem keessaas fagootti dhagaʼame.
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.
Yeroo sanatti namoonni mankuusaalee gumaachi, mataan midhaaniitii fi kennaan harka kudhan keessaa tokkoo itti galfamu irratti itti gaafatamtoota taʼanii muudaman. Isaanis lafa qotiisaa naannoo magaalaawwanitti argaman irraa qooda Seerri lubootaa fi Lewwotaaf ajaju sana fidanii mankuusaaleetti galchan; Yihuudaan lubootaa fi Lewwota tajaajilanitti gammadee tureetii.
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.
Isaanis tajaajila Waaqa isaaniitii fi tajaajila sirna qulqullessuu sana akkuma faarfattoonnii fi eegdonni karraa godhan sana akkuma Daawitii fi ilmi isaa Solomoon ajajanitti raawwatan.
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.
Jabana durii bara Daawitii fi Asaaf keessa qajeelchitoota faarfattootaa, kan faarfannaa Waaqa leellisuutii fi kan Waaqa galateeffachuutu tureetii.
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.
Kanaafuu bara Zarubaabelii fi bara Nahimiyaa keessa Israaʼeloonni hundi qooda guyyuma guyyaadhaan faarfattootaa fi karra eegdotaaf barbaachisu kennan. Akkasumas Lewwota kaaniif qooda isaanii kophaatti baasan; Lewwonnis qooda sanyiiwwan Aroon kophaatti baasan.
