8 And the Levites, Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, Mattaniah, they and their brothers were over the hymns,
Levi rhoek te Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, Mattaniah loh a boeinaphung ah umponah te a hutnah.
9 with Bakbukiah, as well as Hannai, and their brothers, each one in his office.
Amih Unni boeina, Unni neh Bakbukiah tah tuemkoi dongah khaw a hmai la om rhoi.
10 Now Jeshua conceived Joiakim, and Joiakim conceived Eliashib, and Eliashib conceived Joiada,
Jeshua loh Joiakim a sak, Joiakim loh Eliashib, Eliashib loh Joiada a sak.
11 and Joiada conceived Jonathan, and Jonathan conceived Jaddua.
Joiadah loh Jonathan a sak tih, Jonathan loh Jaddua a sak.
12 And in the days of Joiakim, the priests and the leaders of the families were: of Seraiah, Meraiah; of Jeremiah, Hananiah;

22 The Levites, in the days of Eliashib, and Joiada, and Johanan, and Jaddua, and the priests, were written according to the leaders of the families, during the reign of Darius the Persian.
Eliashib, Joiada, Johanan neh Jaddua tue vaengkah Levi napa boeilu rhoek, Persian Darius ram khuikah khosoih rhoek khaw a thum sak.
23 The sons of Levi, according to the leaders of the families, were written in the book of the words of those days, even to the days of Johanan, the son of Eliashib.
Levi koca kah a napa boeilu rhoek te Eliashib capa Johanan tue hil kah khokhuen olka cabu khuiah a daek uh.
24 Now the leaders of the Levites were Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua, the son of Kadmiel, and their brothers, in their turns, so that they would praise and confess, according to the precept of David, the man of God. And they served equally and in order.
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, and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub, were keepers of the gates and of the vestibules before the gates.
Mattaniah, Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub tah vongka, rhueng im ah thoh tawt, rhaltawt a ngaithuen uh.
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 and scribe.
He rhoek tah Jozadak koca, Jeshua capa Joiakim tue vaengkah neh rhalboei Nehemiah, cadaek khosoih Ezra tue vaengkah ni.
27 Now at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem, they sought the Levites from all their places, so that they might bring them to Jerusalem, and so that they might keep the dedication, and rejoice with thanksgiving, and with singing, and with cymbals, psalteries, 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 Now the sons of the singing men were gathered from the plains surrounding Jerusalem, and from the villages of Netophati,
Laa sa koca rhoek te Jerusalem kaepvai vannaem lamkah neh, Netophah vangca rhoek lamkah te a coi uh.
29 and from the house of Gilgal, and from the regions of Geba and Azmaveth. For the singing men 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 And the priests and the Levites were cleansed, and they cleansed the people, and 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 caused the leaders of Judah to ascend the wall, and I appointed two great choirs to give praise. And they went to the right upon the wall, 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 And after them went Hoshaiah, and one half part of the leadership of Judah,
Amih hnukah Hoshaiah neh Judah mangpa rhakthuem rhoek te cet.
33 and Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam,
Te phoeiah tah Azariah, Ezra neh Meshullam.
34 Judah, and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah.
Judah, Benjamin, Shemaiah neh Jeremiah.
35 And some of the sons of the priests went forth with trumpets: Zachariah, the 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 brothers, Shemaiah, and Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, and Judah, and Hanani, went forth with the canticles of David, the man of God. And Ezra, the scribe, was before them at the fountain gate.
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 And opposite them, they ascended by the steps of the city of David, at the ascent of the wall above the house of David, and as far as the water gate to 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 And the second choir of those who gave thanks went forth on the opposite side, and I went after them, and one half part of the people were upon the wall, and upon the tower of the furnaces, as far as the widest 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 and above the gate of Ephraim, and above the ancient gate, and above the fish gate, and the tower of Hananel, and the tower of Hamath, and as far as the flock gate. And they stood still at the watch gate.
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 And the two choirs of those who gave praise stood still at the house of God, with myself and one half part of the magistrates who were with me.
Pathen im ah uemonah bok a pai vaengah kai khaw kamah taengah ukkung rhakthuem om.
41 And the priests, Eliakim, Maaseiah, Mijamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, Hananiah, went forth with trumpets,
Khosoih rhoek Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Mikaiah, Elioenai, Zekhariah, Hananiah khaw olueng neh paiuh.
42 with Maaseiah, and Shemaiah, and Eleazar, and Uzzi, and Jehohanan, and Malchijah, and Elam, and Ezer. And the singers were singing clearly, and Jezrahiah was their foremost leader.
Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malkhiah, Elam, Ezer neh hlangtawt Izrahiah kah laa sak khaw a yaak uh.
43 And on that day, they immolated great sacrifices, and they rejoiced. For God had caused them to rejoice with great joy. And their wives and children also were glad. And the rejoicing of Jerusalem was heard from far away.
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 On that day also, they enrolled men over the storehouses of the treasury, for the libations, and for the first-fruits, and for the tithes, so that the leaders of the city might bring these in, by them, with proper thanksgiving, for the priests and the Levites. For Judah was rejoicing in the priests and the Levites who were assisting.
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 And they kept the vigil of their God, and the vigil of expiation, with the singing men and the gatekeepers, in accord with the precept of David, and of Solomon, his son.
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 in the days of David and Asaph, from the beginning, there were leaders appointed over the singers, to give praise in verses, and to confess 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 And all of Israel, in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah, gave portions to the singing men and to the gatekeepers, for each day, and they sanctified the Levites, and the Levites sanctified the sons 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.
