1 Now these are the priests and the Levites who went up with Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua: Seraiah, Jeremiah, Ezra,

8 And the Levites: Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, and Mattaniah, who was over the music-makers, he and his brothers.
Ndị Livayị so ha bụ ndị a: Jeshua, Binui, Kadmiel, Sherebaya, Juda nakwa Matanaya, onye ya na ndị otu ya na-elekọta ofufe ekele.
9 And Bakbukiah and Unno, their brothers, were opposite them in their watches.
Bakbukaya, na Unni, ndị otu ha nọ na ncherita ihu nʼofufe ahụ.
10 And Jeshua was the father of Joiakim, and Joiakim was the father of Eliashib, and Eliashib was the father of Joiada,
Jeshua mụrụ Joiakim, Joiakim mụrụ Eliashib, Eliashib mụrụ Joiada,
11 And Joiada was the father of Jonathan, and Jonathan was the father of Jaddua.
Joiada mụrụ Jonatan, ebe Jonatan mụrụ Jadua.
12 And in the days of Joiakim there were priests, heads of families: of Seraiah, Meraiah; of Jeremiah, Hananiah;
Ndị a bụ ndịisi ikwu ndị nchụaja nʼoge ndụ Joiakim. Meraia bụ onyeisi ụmụ Seraya, Hananaya bụ onyeisi ụmụ Jeremaya,

22 The Levites in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, and Johanan, and Jaddua, were listed as heads of families; and the priests, when Darius the Persian was king.
E dekọtara aha ndịisi ezinaụlọ ndị Livayị niile nʼụbọchị Eliashib, Joiada, Johanan na Jadua, nakwa nke ndị nchụaja nʼakwụkwọ nʼoge ọchịchị Daraiọs bụ eze Peshịa.
23 The sons of Levi, heads of families, were recorded in the book of the histories, even till the days of Johanan, the son of Eliashib.
E dekwara aha ndịisi ndị Livayị niile nʼakwụkwọ tutu ruo nʼoge Johanan nwa Eliashib dị ndụ.
24 And the chiefs of the Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua, the son of Kadmiel, with their brothers opposite them, to give blessing and praise as ordered by David, the man of God, watch against watch.
Ndị a bụ ndịisi ndị Livayị nʼoge ahụ: Hashabaya, Sherebaya, Jeshua, nwa Kadmiel na ndị otu ha. Ha kere onwe ha ụzọ abụọ. Ụzọ abụọ ndị a na-eguzokwa na-eche ibe ha ihu mgbe ọbụla ha na-abụku Chineke abụ otuto na ekele. Otu ụzọ na-amalite nke ọzọ azaghachi, dịka Devid onye nke Chineke si nye ya nʼiwu.
25 Mattaniah, and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub, were door-keepers keeping the watch at the store-houses of the doors.
Ndị nche na-eche ọnụ ụzọ ụlọ ịchịkọba ihe nke ụlọnsọ bụ ndị a: Matanaya, Bakbukaya, Ọbadaya, Meshulam, Talmon na Akub.
26 These were in the days of Joiakim, the son of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the ruler and of Ezra the priest, the scribe.
Ha jere ozi ha nʼoge Joiakim nwa Jeshua, nwa Jozadak, dị ndụ, na nʼoge Nehemaya bụ onyeisi ọchịchị, na nʼoge Ezra bụkwa onye nchụaja, na onye nkuzi okwu Chineke.
27 And when the time came for the wall of Jerusalem to be made holy, they sent for the Levites out of all their places to come to Jerusalem, to keep the feast with joy, and with praise and melody, with brass and corded instruments of music.
Mgbe a na-edo mgbidi Jerusalem ọhụrụ ahụ nsọ, e sitere nʼobodo niile ndị Livayị bi kpọọ ha ka ha bịa nye aka iji ọṅụ mee mmemme ido nsọ ahụ. Ha bịakwara jiri abụ ekele na ihe egwu dị iche iche dịka ụbọ akwara, ịgba na une kelee Chineke.
28 And the sons of the music-makers came together from the lowland round about Jerusalem and from the daughter-towns of the Netophathites,
Ndị ọbụ abụ sitekwara nʼobodo niile dị gburugburu Jerusalem bịa, ọ bụladị site nʼobodo niile ndị Netofa,
29 And from Beth-gilgal and from the fields of Geba and Azmaveth: for the music-makers had made daughter-towns for themselves round about Jerusalem.
na Bet-Gilgal, na akụkụ Geba na Azmavet, nʼihi na ha ewuorola onwe ha obodo nta dị iche iche gburugburu Jerusalem.
30 And the priests and the Levites made themselves clean; and they made the people clean, and the doorways and the wall.
Mgbe ndị nchụaja na ndị Livayị dochara onwe ha ọcha, ha dokwara ndị Izrel niile, na ọnụ ụzọ ama niile, na mgbidi ahụ ọcha.
31 Then I made the rulers of Judah come up on the wall, and I put in position two great bands of them who gave praise, walking in ordered lines; one went to the right on the wall, in the direction of the doorway where the waste was put;
E mere m ka ndị ndu Juda niile rigoro nʼelu mgbidi ahụ. Nʼebe ahụ ka m kenyere otu ndị ọbụ abụ abụọ inye ekele. Otu ụzọ gara akụkụ aka nri nke elu mgbidi ahụ ruo nʼỌnụ Ụzọ Ama Ikpofu Ahịhịa.
32 And after them went Hoshaiah and half of the rulers of Judah,
Hoshaya na ọkara ndị ndu Juda na-eso ha nʼazụ,
33 And Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam,
ha na Azaraya, Ezra, Meshulam,
34 Judah and Benjamin and Shemaiah and Jeremiah,
Juda, Benjamin, Shemaya, Jeremaya
35 And certain of the priests' sons with wind instruments; 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,
na ndị nchụaja ndị a ndị na-afụ opi, tinyere Zekaraya nwa Jonatan, nwa Shemaya. Ndị bụ nna nna Zekaraya bụ Matanaya, Mikaya na Zakua, ndị ikwu Asaf.
36 And his brothers, Shemaiah, and Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel and Judah, Hanani, with the music-instruments of David, the man of God; and Ezra the scribe was at their head;
Ndị otu ya, bụ Shemaya, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Netanel, Juda na Hanani. Ha niile ji ngwa egwu ha, ụdị ngwa egwu ndị ahụ Devid onye nke Chineke nyere nʼiwu na ndị ọbụ abụ ga-eji. Ezra, bụ ode akwụkwọ nọ nʼihu na-edu ha.
37 And by the doorway of the fountain and straight in front of them, they went up by the steps of the town of David, at the slope up of the wall, over the house of David, as far as the water-doorway to the east.
Mgbe ha rutere nʼỌnụ Ụzọ ama Isi Iyi, ha rigooro nʼelu nkwasa nrigo ụlọ elu e si abata nʼobodo Devid, si ebe ahụ gafee ụlọeze Devid, gaakwa lọghachi nʼỌnụ Ụzọ Ama Mmiri, nke dị nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ obodo ahụ.
38 And the other band of those who gave praise went to the left, and I went after them with half the people, on the wall, over the tower of the ovens, as far as the wide wall;
Ndị ọbụ abụ nke ọzọ bụ ndị na-enye ekele gara ụzọ aka ekpe. Mụ onwe m sooro ha nʼelu mgbidi ahụ, tinyere ọkara ndị mmadụ ahụ, gafee Ụlọ elu Ite Ọkụ jeruo Mgbidi Sara Mbara.
39 And over the doorway of Ephraim and by the old door and the fish door and the tower of Hananel and the tower of Hammeah, as far as the sheep door: and at the doorway of the watchmen they came to a stop.
Anyị sitekwara nʼebe ahụ gafee Ọnụ Ụzọ Ama Ifrem, Ọnụ Ụzọ ama Jeshana, Ọnụ Ụzọ Ama Azụ, Ọnụ Ụzọ Ama Ụlọ Elu Hananel, ruokwa nʼỌnụ Ụzọ Ama Ụlọ Elu Narị na ruo nʼỌnụ Ụzọ Ama Atụrụ, kwụsị nʼỌnụ Ụzọ Ama Ndị Nche.
40 So the two bands of those who gave praise took up their positions in the house of God, and I and half of the chiefs with me:
Ya mere, ụzọ ndị mmadụ abụọ na-abụ abụ ekele nye Chineke zukọtara bata nʼụlọnsọ ukwu. Esokwa m ha bata, mụ na ọkara ndị ndu,
41 And the priests; Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with wind instruments;
tinyere ndị nchụaja ndị a: Eliakịm, Maaseia, Miniamin, Mikaya, Elioenai, Zekaraya na Hananaya. Ndị a niile ji opi ha.
42 And Maaseiah and Shemaiah and Eleazar and Uzzi and Jehohanan and Malchijah and Elam and Ezer. And the makers of melody made their voices loud, with Jezrahiah their overseer.
Ndị ọzọ sokwa bata bụ ndị a: Maaseia, Shemaya, Elieza, Uzi, Jehohanan, Malkija, Elam na Eza. Onyendu ndị ọbụ abụ ahụ niile bụ Jezrahaya.
43 And on that day they made great offerings and were glad; for God had made them glad with great joy; and the women and the children were glad with them: so that the joy of Jerusalem came to the ears of those who were far off.
Ha chụrụ ọtụtụ aja nʼụbọchị ahụ nʼihi na Chineke nyere ha oke ọṅụ. Ụmụnta na ndị inyom sokwa ṅụrịa ọṅụ. Ha nụkwara ụda ọṅụ ndị Jerusalem site nʼebe dị anya.
44 And on that day certain men were put over the rooms where the things which had been given were stored, for the lifted offerings and the first-fruits and the tenths, and to take into them the amounts, from the fields of every town, fixed by the law for the priests and the Levites: for Judah was glad on account of the priests and the Levites who were in their places.
Nʼoge ahụ ka a họpụtara ndị ikom na-elekọta ụlọ ịchịkọba ihe, ebe a na-achịkọba onyinye mkpụrụ mbụ, na onyinye otu ụzọ nʼụzọ iri. A na-esite nʼobodo gbara Jerusalem gburugburu na-ewebata nʼụlọ ịchịkọba ihe onyinye niile e nyere nʼiwu maka ọdịmma ndị nchụaja na ndị Livayị. E si otu a na-ewebata ya nʼihi na ọrụ ndị nchụaja na ndị Livayị na-arụ na-atọ ndị Juda ụtọ nke ukwuu.
45 And they kept the watch of their God, and were responsible for making things clean, and so did the music-makers and the door-keepers, as it was ordered by David and Solomon his son.
Nʼihi na ha na-arụ ọrụ Chineke ahụ ha ketara ịrụ, ya na ọrụ ido ndị mmadụ na ihe ọbụla nsọ. Otu a kwa ka ndị ọbụ abụ, na ndị na-eche nche sị arụkwa ọrụ a dịka iwu Devid na Solomọn nwa ya nyere si dị.
46 For in the days of David and Asaph in the past, there was a master of the music, and songs of blessing and praise to God.
Ọ bụ nʼoge Devid na Asaf ka e bidoro inwe ndị ndu abụ ito na ikele Chineke.
47 And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel and in the days of Nehemiah gave what was needed by the music-makers and the door-keepers day by day: and they made the offerings holy for the Levites; and the Levites did the same for the sons of Aaron.
Ya mere, nʼoge Zerubabel na Nehemaya, ndị Izrel niile na-ewebata onyinye e ji akwagide ọrụ ndị ọbụ abụ, na ndị nche, na ndị Livayị. Ha kewapụtakwara oke ruru ndị Livayị ndị ọzọ iche, ndị Livayị nʼonwe ha kwa, kewapụtara oke ruru ụmụ Erọn nʼime ihe e nyere ha dịka e si nye ya nʼiwu.
