23 The children of Levi, the chief fathers, were recorded in the book of the chronicles, even until the days of Johanan the son of Eliashib.

24 And the chief Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua the son of Kadmiel, with their brethren over against them, to praise [and] to give thanks, according to the commandment of David the man of God, ward over against ward.
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 doorkeepers keeping the ward at the storehouses of 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, the scribe.
He rhoek tah Jozadak koca, Jeshua capa Joiakim tue vaengkah neh rhalboei Nehemiah, cadaek khosoih Ezra tue vaengkah ni.
27 And at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought the Levites out of all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem, to hold the dedication with gladness, both with thanksgivings, and with singing, [with] cymbals, lutes and harps.
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 And the children of the singers were assembled, both from the plain [of Jordan] round about Jerusalem, and from the villages of the Netophathites,
Laa sa koca rhoek te Jerusalem kaepvai vannaem lamkah neh, Netophah vangca rhoek lamkah te a coi uh.
29 also from Beth-Gilgal, and out of the fields of Geba and Azmaveth; for the singers had built themselves hamlets round about 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 purified themselves; and they purified 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 And I brought up the princes of Judah upon the wall, and appointed two great choirs and processions, on the right hand upon the wall towards 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 half of the princes 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 [certain] of the priests' sons with trumpets: 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;
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 brethren, Shemaiah, and Azareel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethaneel, and Judah, Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God; and Ezra the scribe before them.
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 at the fountain-gate, and over against them, they went up by the stairs of the city of David, at the ascent of the wall, above the house of David, even to the water-gate eastward.
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 went in the opposite direction upon the wall, and I after them, and the half of the people, from beyond the tower of the furnaces even to the broad 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 from above the gate of Ephraim, and above the gate of the old [wall], and above the fish-gate, and the tower of Hananeel, and the tower of Meah, even to the sheep-gate; and they stood still in the prison-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 both choirs stood in the house of God, and I, and the half of the rulers with me;
Pathen im ah uemonah bok a pai vaengah kai khaw kamah taengah ukkung rhakthuem om.
41 and the priests, Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, Hananiah, with trumpets;
Khosoih rhoek Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Mikaiah, Elioenai, Zekhariah, Hananiah khaw olueng neh paiuh.
42 and Maaseiah, and Shemaiah, and Eleazar, and Uzzi, and Jehohanan, and Malchijah, and Elam, and Ezer. And the singers sang loud; and Jizrahiah was their overseer.
Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malkhiah, Elam, Ezer neh hlangtawt Izrahiah kah laa sak khaw a yaak uh.
43 And that day they offered great sacrifices, and rejoiced: for God had made them rejoice with great joy; and also the women and the children rejoiced. And the joy of Jerusalem was heard even afar off.
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 And at that time men were appointed over the chambers of the treasures for the heave-offerings, for the first-fruits, and for the tithes, to gather into them, out of the fields of the cities, the portions assigned by the law for the priests and the Levites; for Judah rejoiced over the priests, and over the Levites that waited.
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, with the singers and the doorkeepers, they kept the ward of their God, and the ward of the purification, according to the commandment 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 of old, in the days of David and Asaph, there were the chiefs of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgivings 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 Israel, in the days of Zerubbabel and in the days of Nehemiah, gave the portions of the singers and the doorkeepers, every day what was needed, and they consecrated things for the Levites; and the Levites consecrated for the children 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.
