8 And the Levites: Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, Mattaniah, [who was] over the thanksgiving, he and his brethren;
Hahoi Levihnaw teh, Jeshua, Binnui, Kedmiel, Sherebiah, Judah hoi Mathaniah, Mathaniah teh a hmaunawnghanaw hoi lunghawilawkdeinae koe kahrawikung lah ao.
9 and Bakbukiah and Unni, their brethren, were over against them as watches.
Ahnimae hmaunawngha Bakbukiah hoi Unni teh la a sak awh navah kadangka lahoi kangdue laihoi a ring awh.

22 of the Levites, the chief fathers were recorded in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, and Johanan, and Jaddua, and the priests, until the reign of Darius the Persian.
Eliashib, Joiada, Johanan hoi Jaddua tinaw e senah, vaihma lah kaawm niteh, napanaw dawk lû lah lengkaleng kaawm e naw hah, Persia tami Darius se totouh, cungpam dawk min pakhum e lah ao.
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.
Eliashib capa Johanan se totouh, Levihnaw imthung lahoi lû lah kaawmnaw hah cungpam dawk min pakhum e lah ao.
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.
Levihnaw dawk kacuenaw: Hashabiah, Sherebiah hoi Kadmiel capa Jeshua tinaw teh, Cathut e tami Devit e kâpoelawk patetlah a hmaunawnghanaw hoi cungtalah pholen hane hoi, lunghawi lawk dei hanelah, kâletta lahoi a tawk awh.
25 Mattaniah and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub, were doorkeepers keeping the ward at the storehouses of the gates.
Mattaniah, Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Telmon hoi Akkub tinaw teh, takhang teng e hnopai ta e hoi takhang ka ring e lah ao awh.
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.
Ahnimanaw teh Jozadak capa, Jeshua capa, Joiakim se nah, ram ukkung Nehemiah hoi kâlawk kacangkhaikung vaihma Ezra se nah ao awh.
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 rapan hah hnawngnae a sak toteh, cecak, ratoung, tamawi, tum laihoi la sak laihoi, nawmnae, lunghawilawkdeinae hoi cungtalah hnawngnae sak nahanelah, Levihnaw hah a tawng awh teh, a onae hmuen tangkuem koehoi Jerusalem vah a kaw awh.
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,
La kasakthainaw teh Jerusalem kho tengpam koe lah thoseh, Netophah kho hoi thoseh,
29 also from Beth-Gilgal, and out of the fields of Geba and Azmaveth; for the singers had built themselves hamlets round about Jerusalem.
Gilgal im hoi thoseh, Geba hoi Azmaveth ram koehoi thoseh, a mahmawk a kamkhueng awh.
30 And the priests and the Levites purified themselves; and they purified the people, and the gates and the wall.
Vaihma hoi Levihnaw hai amahoima thoseh, taminaw thoseh, kho longkha thoseh, kho rapan thoseh a thoung sak awh.
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.
Hattoteh Judah bawinaw hah rapan van ka ceikhai teh, pholen la ka sak hanelah, phu hni touh lah ka kapek. Phu touh teh aranglah hoi a kâhei teh vaipuen longkha koe kho rapan van a cei awh.
32 And after them went Hoshaiah, and half of the princes of Judah,
Ahnimouh hnuk vah Hoshaiah hoi Judah kacuenaw tangawn,
33 and Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam,
Azariah, Ezra, Meshullam,
34 Judah and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah,
Judah, Benjamin, Shemaiah hoi Jeremiah tinaw a kâbang awh.
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;
Hahoi mongka ka patuem e vaihmanaw, Jonathan capa, Zekhariah, Shemaiah capa, Mathanial capa, Michaiah capa, Zakkur capa, Asaph capa,
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.
Hahoi a hmaunawngha, Shemaiah, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, Judah hoi Hanani tinaw ni, Cathut e tami Devit e tumkhawngnaw heh a patuep awh teh, a kâbang awh. Kâlawk kacangkhaikung Ezra teh ahnimae hmalah a cei.
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.
Ahnimae kadangka lah kaawm e tuiphuek khu longkha koe a pha awh torei, khorapan luennae Devit kho khalai hoi a luen awh teh, Devit im lathueng kanîtholah, Tui longkha totouh a cei awh.
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;
La kasakkung tangawn teh avoilah a kamlang awh teh, kai hoi tangawn teh, khorapan van, takhuen imrasang koehoi, khorapan akawnae koe totouh a kâbang awh.
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.
Ephraim longkha, longkha karuem, tanga longkha, Hananel imrasang, Meah imrasang koehoi kamtawng teh, tu longkha totouh a kâbang awh hnukkhu, thongim longkha koe a kangdue awh.
40 And both choirs stood in the house of God, and I, and the half of the rulers with me;
Hahoi la kasakkung phu hni touh teh, Cathut im vah a kangdue awh teh, a tangawn e bawinaw teh kai hoi cungtalah,
41 and the priests, Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, Hananiah, with trumpets;
Mongka ka patuem e vaihma Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Mikaiah, Elioenai, Zekhariah hoi Hananiah,
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.
Hahoi, Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malkhijah, Elam hoi Ezer tinaw hai cungtalah a kangdue awh. La kasakkungnaw teh kahrawikung Jezrahiah hoi cungtalah puenghoi la a sak awh.
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.
Hot hnin vah vaihmanaw ni thuengnae moikapap a sak awh teh, a konawm awh. Puenghoi konawmnae Cathut ni a poe awh dawkvah, yunaw hoi canaw hai a konawm awh. Hatdawkvah, Jerusalem konawnnae hah ahlanae koehoi patenghai thai e lah ao.
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.
Hatnavah Bawkim dawk thaw kakuennaw, vaihmanaw hoi Levihnaw teh karingkung lah ao awh dawkvah, Judahnaw teh a lungkuep awh teh, vaihmanaw hoi Levih ni a pang awh hane pasoumhno aluepaw, pung hra pung touh hah, kho tangkuem hoi a pâkhueng awh teh, hmoun nahane rakhannaw karingkung hanelah thaw a poe awh.
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.
La kasakkungnaw hoi tho karingkungnaw hai Devit capa Solomon e kâpoelawk patetlah amamae Cathut thaw hoi thoungnae thaw hah a tawk awh.
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.
Devit hoi Asaph se navah, Cathut koe lunghawilawkdeinae kahrawikungnaw teh ao awh.
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.
Zerubbabel hoi Nehemiah se nahai la kasakkungnaw hoi tho karingkungnaw hah, hnintangkuem a pang awh hane rawca hah a poe awh. Levihnaw hah ka thoung hnonaw a poe awh. Levihnaw ni hai Aron capanaw coe hanelah a kapek pouh awh.
