22 The Levites in the days of Eliasib, Joada, and Joa, and Joanan, and Idua, [were] recorded heads of families: also the priests, in the reign of Darius the Persian.
Eliaship, Joiada, Johanan hoi Jaddua dung ah, Levi acaeng zaehoikungnawk hoi qaimanawk loe Persia siangpahrang Darius ukhaih khoek to ahmin pakuemhaih cabu thungah tarik o.
23 And the sons of Levi, heads of families, [were] written in the book of the chronicles, even to the days of Joanan son of Elisue.
Levi acaeng zaehoikung lu koeknawk loe Elaiship capa Johanan dung karoek to ahmin pakuemhaih cabu thungah tarik o.
24 And the heads of the Levites [were] Asabia, and Sarabia, and Jesu: and the sons of Cadmiel, and their brethren over against them, were to sing hymns of praise, according to the commandment of David the man of God, course by course.
Hashabiah, Sherebiah, kadmiel capa Jeshua hoi angmah ih nawkamyanawk loe Levi acaeng zaehoikung ah oh o; nihcae loe Sithaw kami David mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, saphawhaih laa hoi anghoe lokthuihaih tok to, maeto pacoeng maeto a sak o.
25 When I gathered the porters,

26 [it was] in the days of Joakim son of Jesus, son of Josedec, and in the days of Neemia: and Esdras the priest [was] scribe.
Nihcae loe Jeshua capa Joiakim, Joiakim capa Jozadak dung, prae ukkung Nehemiah dung, qaima hoi ca tarikkung ah kaom, Ezra dung ah oh o boeh.
27 And at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought the Levites in their places, to bring them to Jerusalem, to keep a feast of dedication and gladness with thanksgiving, and they sounded cymbals with songs, and [had] lutes and harps.
Jerusalem tapang tathlanghaih sak o naah, cingceng, katoeng, aqui pop katoengnawk to kruek o moe, laasakhaih, anghoe lokthuihaih hoi kanawm ah sak o, to naah ahmuen kruekah Levinawk to pakrong o moe, Jerusalem ah caeh o haih.
28 And the sons of the singers were assembled both from the neighbourhood round about to Jerusalem, and from the villages,
Laasah kaminawk loe Jerusalem taeng ih tangtling ah kaom, Netophath avangnawk,
29 and from the country: for the singers built themselves villages by Jerusalem.
Gilgal, Geba, Azmaveth avangnawk hoiah angzoh o; laasah kaminawk loe Jerusalem taengah avang tanawk to sak o.
30 And the priests and the Levites purified themselves, and they purified the people, and the porters, and the wall.
Qaima hoi Levinawk loe angmacae hoi angmacae to ciimcai ah oh o moe, kaminawk, khongkhanawk hoi tapangnawk doeh ciim o sak.
31 And they brought up the princes of Juda on the wall, and they appointed two great [companies] for thanksgiving, and they passed on the right hand on the wall of the dung-gate.
Judah zaehoikungnawk to tapang nuiah ka dawhsak moe, anghoehaih laasah kami abu hnetto ah ka ohsak, abu maeto loe tapang nui bantang bang ih, anghnoeng khongkha bangah a caeh o.
32 And after them went Osaia, and half the princes of Juda,
Nihcae hnukah Hoshaiah hoi Judah zaehoikungnawk ahap caeh o; to kaminawk loe,
33 and Azarias, and Esdras, and Mesollam,
Azariah, Ezra, Meshullam,
34 and Juda, and Benjamin, and Samaias and Jeremia.
Judah, Benjamin, Shemaiah, Jeremiah;
35 And [some] of the sons of the priest with trumpets, Zacharias son of Jonathan, son of Samaias, son of Matthania, son of Michaia, son of Zacchur, son of Asaph:
Mongkah sin qaima ih caanawk ahap caeh o; nihcae loe Asaph ih capa Zakur, anih ih capa Mikaiah, anih ih capa Mattaniah, anih ih capa Shemaiah, anih ih capa Jonathan, anih ih capa Zekariah,
36 and his brethren, Samaia, and Oziel, Gelol, Jama, Aia, Nathanael, and Juda, Anani, to praise with the hymns of David the man of God; and Esdras the scribe [was] before them,
anih ih nawkamyanawk Shemaiah, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, Judah, Hanani cae mah, Sithaw kami David ih katoeng tamoinawk to sin o; ca tarikkung Ezra loe nihcae hmaa ah caeh.
37 at the gate, to praise before them, and they went up by the steps of the city of David, in the ascent of the wall, above the house of David, even to the water-gate
Nihcae taengah kaom tuipuek khongkha ah phak o naah, tapang nuiah dawh o, David vangpui dawhaih thlak hoiah a dawh o, David ih im ranui ah dawh o moe, ni angyae bang ih tuipuek khongkha khoek to a caeh o.

39 of Ephraim, and to the fish-gate, and by the tower of Anameel, and as far as the sheep-gate.
Nihcae loe Ephraim khongkha, khongkha kangquem, tanga khongkha, Hananel imsang, Meah imsang, tuu khongkha karoek to a caeh o moe, thongim khongkha hmaa ah angdoet o.

42 And the singers were heard, and were numbered.
Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malkijah, Elam hoi Ezer cae doeh oh o. Laasah kaminawk loe laasah zaehoikung Jezrahiah hoi nawnto laasak o.
43 And in that day they offered great sacrifices, and rejoiced; for God had made them very joyful: and their wives and their children rejoiced: and the joy in Jerusalem was heard from afar off.
To na niah angbawnhaih to sak o moe, paroeai anghoe o; Sithaw mah nihcae han kalen parai anghoehaih to paek pongah, a zunawk hoi acaanawk loe paroeai anghoe o: to tiah Jerusalem vangpui anghoehaih lok loe ahmuen kangthla hoiah doeh angthaih.
44 And in that day they appointed men over the treasuries, for the treasures, the first fruits, and the tithes, and [for] the chiefs of the cities who were assembled amongst them, [to furnish] portions for the priests and Levites: for [there was] joy in Juda over the priests and over the Levites that waited.
Qaimanawk hoi Levinawk mah Sithaw tok to sak o pongah, Judahnawk loe paroeai anghoe o; avang kruek hoiah tangqumnawk to im ah a sin o, Mosi ih kaalok mah thuih ih baktih toengah, lawk ih kathai tangsuek thingthainawk, hato thungah maeto loe qaimanawk hoi Levinawk hanah a paek o; to ih hmuenmaenawk toep hanah kaminawk to suek o.
45 And they kept the charges of their God, and the charges of the purification, and [ordered] the singers and the porters, according to the commandments of David and his son Solomon.
David hoi a capa Solomon lokpaekhaih baktih toengah, laasah kaminawk hoi khongkha toep kaminawk doeh, angmacae Sithaw ih tok hoi ciimcaihaih tok to a sak o.
46 For in the days of David Asaph was originally first of the singers, and [they sang] hymns and praise to God.
David hoi Asaph dung nathuem hoiah, laasah zaehoikung, saphawhaih laa hoi Sithaw khae anghoe lawkthuihaih to oh boeh.
47 And all Israel in the days of Zorobabel, and in the days of Neemias, gave the portions of the singers and the porters, a daily rate: and consecrated them to the Levites: and the Levites consecrated them to the sons of Aaron.
Zerubabel hoi Nehemiah dung naah doeh, Israel kaminawk mah laasah kaminawk hoi khongkha toep kaminawk hanah, ni thokkruek, angmacae taham caaknaek to paek o; Levinawk hanah doeh paek han koi hmuennawk to kaciim ah pahoe pae o moe, Levinawk mah doeh Aaron caanawk hanah pahoe pae o patoeng.
