7 These were the leaders of the priests and of their brothers, in the days of Jeshua.

8 And the Levites, Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, Mattaniah, they and their brothers were over the hymns,
Levite amaho toh hung kinungle ho chu Jeshua, Binnui, Kidmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, chuleh Mattaniah amahi atoh khompi hotoh thangvah na lasah na lamkai ahi.
9 with Bakbukiah, as well as Hannai, and their brothers, each one in his office.
Atohkhom pi hou Bakbukiah le Unni hin houin sunga kin kibol teng amaho chu toh kimai ngat ton ana ding jiuvin ahi.
10 Now Jeshua conceived Joiakim, and Joiakim conceived Eliashib, and Eliashib conceived Joiada,

11 and Joiada conceived Jonathan, and Jonathan conceived Jaddua.

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, Jonathan, chule Jaddua chu thempulen anahi nao kumsung chun Levite insung minbu chu phatah in ana kikoiyin ahi.
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.
Levite insung lamkai ho minbu chu khanggui thusimbu a ana kikoijin hichu Eliashib tupa Johanan khang geiya umsuh peh a ahi.
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.
Hicheng hi Levite lamkai ho insung mite ahiuve: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, chule akiloi khompi ho ahiuvin, amaho hi thangvah na le kipa thusei na kin kibol teng kingatto jia ahiuvin Pathen mipa David in ana thupeh banga loikhat chu loikhat toh kidonbut toji ahiuve.
25 Mattaniah, and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub, were keepers of the gates and of the vestibules before the gates.
Hichea chun Mattaniah Bakbukiah chuleh Obadiah jong ana panguve. Meshullam, Talmon, chule Akkub chu kelkot phunga thilkeo koina indan chu angahtup ma panga ahiuve.
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.
Amaho hin Jehozadok chapa Jeshua chapa Joiakim chule gamvaipo Nehemiah leh thempulen danthu them Ezra khanglaiya ana toh’u ahi.
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 kulpi bang athah chu thensona kin na hi ahung kithopina diuvin gamsung muntin na um Levite chu akoukhom uvin ahi. Amaho chun atumgingu thih pheng kisai gin, selangdah ginleh semjang kisaiging puma hiche kin loupia hi thangvah na lasah puma thanomtah a pan alah u ahi.
28 Now the sons of the singing men were gathered from the plains surrounding Jerusalem, and from the villages of Netophati,
Jerusalem vel'a Netophath mite khohoa kona lasa ho akhom soh keiyun ahi.
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.
Beth-gilgal leh thinglhang gam Geba leh Azmaveth kom veldunga konin jong ahungun ahi. Ajeh chu lasa miho hin Jerusalem veldunga chu chenmun ana kisem u ahi.
30 And the priests and the Levites were cleansed, and they cleansed the people, and the gates, and the wall.
Thempu hole Levite chu amasan ama hole amaho akisutheng un chu jouvin mipi hole kelkot ho chule kulpi bang chu asuthengun ahi.
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.
Keiman Juda lamkai ho chu kulpi bang chunga chun kapuijin thangvah na pe dingin lathem hon ni kaga gong toh'in ahi. Lathem honkhat chu Eh-Kelkot lang ajonun, lathem honkhat chun lhanglam ajonun Eh-Kelkot lang kulpi bang chung langa chun aheuvin ahi.
32 And after them went Hoshaiah, and one half part of the leadership of Judah,
Hoshiah leh Judah lamkai akehkhat in ajuijun ahi.
33 and Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam,
Azariah, Ezra, Meshullam;
34 Judah, and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah.
Judah, Benjamin, Shemaiah, chuleh Jeremiah jong ahiuve.
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.
Hicheng jou chun sumkon mut thempu ho phabep ahungun Jonathan chapa Zachariah, Shemaiah chapa, Mettaniah chapa, Mecaiah chapa, Zaccur chapa, Asaph chilhah hojonghi apanguve.
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.
Chuleh Zechariah tohkhompi ho chu Shemaiah, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, Judah chuleh Hanani ahiuve. Chule amaho hin Pathen mipa David in anasuh tohsa tumging thei ho chu ana mang hauvin ahi. Ezra in mipi kijot ho chu ana lamkaiyin ahi.
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.
Twikhuh kelkot na kon chun khopi kulpi banga kal touna kalbia chun jangpet in acheuvin David khopi lang ajonun ahi. Amahon David inchu aho paovin chuin solang Twi Kelkot lang chu ajon’un ahi.
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,
Lathem hon ni na ho chun thangvah pumin sahlang ajonun lang khat lam a chun avel’un ama hotoh kimuto dingin acheuvin ahi. Kenjong amaho nung kajuiyin mipi akehkhat chutoh kalhonne, kulpi bang vumma kacheuvin meikhulong hung kitundoh chungvum langa kacheuvin, kulpi bang ningkoi lang geiyin kacheuve.
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.
Chuin Ephraim kelkot chunglam a kacheuvin, kelkot luilang Nga Kelkot kom Hananel insung lam, Kelngoi hong Kelkot phung geiyin kacheuvin ahi, chujouvin miho chu kelkot ngah ho din munna chun ahung ding uvin ahi.
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.
Lathem hon ni ho chun thangvah na la sa pumin Pathen houin lang chu ajon’un hilaiya chun apansa tauve. Keileh kaki lhonpi lamkai ho jong hilaiya chun kaum tauve.
41 And the priests, Eliakim, Maaseiah, Mijamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, Hananiah, went forth with trumpets,
Keiho chu sumkon mut thempu ho Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah chuleh Hananiah;
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.
Chule lasaho- Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazer, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malkijah, Elam chuleh Ezer, mi hicheng hitoh kaki lhonun ahi. Amahon lathem lamkaipa Jezrahiah mapuina in tum ging toh thon hasah in asauvin ahi.
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.
Hiche kipa thanop ni chun pumgo thilto tamtah anatoh doh’un ahi, ajeh chu Pathenin mipi chu kipana lentah anapen ahi. Hiche golnop nikhoa hin numei le chapang ho jong ana pangun chule Jerusalem mipite kipana ogin chu gamla tah a konin jong akijan ahi.
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.
Hiche nikho chun maicham ma hung kitoh doh ho, lhosohga masa hung kitoh hole hopsom hung kitohdoh ho kholna indan ho vesui dingin mi phabep akipansah in ahi. Danthun angeh dungjuiya thempu hole Levite chanding dol khopi pamlanga chengho koma hindong dingin amaho chun mopohna aneiyun ahi. Ajeh chu Judah mipite hin thempu hole Levite natoh na a hin alunglhai lheh jengun ahi.
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.
Amahon David leh achapa Solomon ana thupeh bangin Pathen kin leh kisuh thengna kin hi atongun ahi, chuleh lasa a pang hole kelkot ngah hon jong ajongun ahi.
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.
Vahchoi la le Pathen thangvah na lasah na a lathem ho lamkai ding tohgon chu David le Asaph nikho lai peh a patna hung che jom peh ahi.
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.
Hiti chun Zerubbabel le Nehemiah khang hin Israel mipiten lasa hole kelkot ngah ho chule Levite neh le chah ding niseh in ahin pohpeh jiuvin ahi. Levite chun amahoa thilmua kon chun Aaron chilhah thempuho ding phabep ape jiuvin ahi.
