1 And these are the priests and the Levites that went up with Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua: Seraiah, Jeremiah, Ezra,

8 And the Levites: Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, Mattaniah, [who was] over the thanksgiving, he and his brethren;
Kati na Balevi, ezalaki na Jozue, Binuwi, Kadimieli, Sherebia, Yuda mpe Matania oyo, elongo na baninga na ye ya mosala, azalaki mokambi ya banzembo ya matondi.
9 and Bakbukiah and Unni, their brethren, were over against them as watches.
Bakibukia mpe Uni, baninga na bango ya mosala, bazalaki kosala mosala na bango na ngambo mosusu.
10 And Jeshua begot Joiakim, and Joiakim begot Eliashib, and Eliashib begot Joiada,
Jozue abotaki Yoakimi, Yoakimi abotaki Eliashibi, Eliashibi abotaki Yoyada,
11 and Joiada begot Jonathan, and Jonathan begot Jaddua.
Yoyada abotaki Jonatan, Jonatan abotaki Yaduwa.
12 And in the days of Joiakim were priests, chief fathers: of Seraiah, Meraiah; of Jeremiah, Hananiah;

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.
Na tango ya Eliashibi, Yoyada, Yoanani mpe Yaduwa, bakomaki bakombo ya Balevi oyo bazalaki bakambi ya mabota mpe bakombo ya Banganga-Nzambe na tango ya Dariusi, mokonzi ya Persi.
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.
Bakomaki bakombo ya bakitani ya Levi oyo bazalaki bakambi ya mabota kino na tango ya Yoanani, mwana mobali ya Eliashibi, kati na buku ya bokoko.
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.
Tala bato oyo bazalaki bakambi ya Balevi: Ashabia, Sherebia mpe Jozue, mwana mobali ya Kadimieli, mpe baninga na bango ya mosala. Batelemaki boye: bamoko bazalaki kotalana na bamosusu, mpo na kokumisa mpe kosanzola Yawe kolanda mitindo ya Davidi, moto na Nzambe. Soki bamoko batindi mongongo, bamosusu bazalaki kozongisa.
25 Mattaniah and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub, were doorkeepers keeping the ward at the storehouses of the gates.
Matania, Bakibukia, Abidiasi, Meshulami, Talimoni mpe Akubi, bazalaki bakengeli ya bibombelo oyo ezalaki pene ya bikuke ya Ndako ya Nzambe.
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.
Bazalaki kosala mosala na bango na tango ya Yoakimi, mwana mobali ya Jozue mpe koko ya Yotsadaki, mpe na tango ya moyangeli Neyemi mpe Esidrasi, molakisi ya Mobeko mpe Nganga-Nzambe.
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.
Tango babulisaki mir ya Yelusalemi, babengisaki Balevi na Yelusalemi longwa na bisika oyo bazalaki kovanda, mpo na kosepela na esengo makasi feti ya libulisi na nzela ya banzembo ya kozongisa matondi epai ya Nzambe mpe na nzela ya mindule ya manzanza, ya lindanda mpe ya lire.
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,
Babengisaki lisusu bayembi longwa na etuka oyo ezalaki zingazinga ya Yelusalemi, longwa na bamboka mike-mike ya bato ya Netofa,
29 also from Beth-Gilgal, and out of the fields of Geba and Azmaveth; for the singers had built themselves hamlets round about Jerusalem.
longwa na Beti-Giligali mpe longwa na etuka ya Geba mpe ya Azimaveti, pamba te bayembi batongaki bamboka na bango ya mike-mike zingazinga ya Yelusalemi.
30 And the priests and the Levites purified themselves; and they purified the people, and the gates and the wall.
Tango Banganga-Nzambe mpe Balevi bamipetolaki, bapetolaki mpe bato, bikuke mpe mir.
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.
Namatisaki bakambi ya Yuda likolo ya mir mpe nasalaki masanga mibale ya bayembi mpo na kotonda Nzambe. Lisanga ya liboso ezalaki kotambola na likolo ya mir na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali, na nzela ya Ekuke ya Fulu.
32 And after them went Hoshaiah, and half of the princes of Judah,
Na sima na bango, bato oyo bazalaki kolanda: Oze mpe ndambo ya bakambi ya Yuda,
33 and Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam,
Azaria, Esidrasi, Meshulami,
34 Judah and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah,
Yuda, Benjame, Shemaya, Jeremi,
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;
ndambo ya Banganga-Nzambe oyo bazalaki na bakelelo na bango, Zakari, mwana mobali ya Jonatan, mwana mobali ya Shemaya, mwana mobali ya Matania, mwana mobali ya Mishe, mwana mobali ya Zakuri, mwana mobali ya Azafi;
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.
mpe baninga na ye ya mosala: Shemaya, Azareyeli, Milalayi, Gilalayi, Mayi, Netaneeli, Yuda mpe Anani, oyo bazalaki kobeta bibetelo mindule oyo Davidi, moto na Nzambe, atindaki. Esidrasi, molakisi ya Mobeko, azalaki liboso na bango.
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.
Na Ekuke ya Etima, liboso na bango, bamataki bibutelo oyo ezalaki komema na engumba ya Davidi, na esika oyo bamatelaka na mir, mpe balekaki likolo ya ndako ya Davidi kino na Ekuke ya Mayi, na ngambo ya este.
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;
Lisanga ya mibale ya bayembi ezalaki kotambola na nzela ya ngambo ya loboko ya mwasi. Nazalaki kolanda bango na likolo ya mir elongo na ndambo ya bato, longwa na ndako molayi ya Fulu kino na mir ya monene,
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.
na likolo ya Ekuke ya Efrayimi, ya Ekuke ya Yelusalemi, ya Ekuke ya Mbisi, ya ndako molayi, ya Ananeyeli mpe ya ndako molayi ya Meya kino na Ekuke ya Bameme. Basukelaki na Ekuke ya Boloko.
40 And both choirs stood in the house of God, and I, and the half of the rulers with me;
Masanga nyonso mibale ya bayembi, oyo ezalaki kotonda Nzambe ezwaki esika kati na Tempelo ya Nzambe. Nasalaki mpe lolenge moko mpo na kati-kati ya bakambi ya bato
41 and the priests, Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, Hananiah, with trumpets;
mpe mpo na Banganga-Nzambe oyo: Eliakimi, Maaseya, Minyamini, Mishe, Eliowenayi, Zakari mpe Anania oyo bamemaki bakelelo na bango.
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.
Ezalaki mpe na Maaseya, Shemaya, Eleazari, Uzi, Yoanani, Malikiya, Elami mpe Ezeri. Masanga ya bayembi ezalaki koyemba na mongongo makasi na bokambami ya Yiziraya.
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.
Na mokolo wana, bato babonzaki bambeka ebele mpe bazalaki na esengo mpo ete Nzambe apesaki bango esengo monene. Bongo ezala basi mpe bana, batondaki na esengo mpe koganga ya esengo ya Yelusalemi ezalaki koyokana kino na mosika.
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.
Na tango wana, baponaki mibali mpe bapesaki bango mokumba ya kobatela bibombelo ya makabo, ya bambuma ya liboso mpe ya biteni ya zomi; bapesaki bango mpe mokumba ya kokongola biloko oyo Mobeko ekataki ete ezali mpo na Banganga-Nzambe mpe Balevi, biloko yango esengeli kowuta na bilanga oyo ezingeli bingumba. Solo, bato ya Yuda bazalaki kosepela makasi komona ete Banganga-Nzambe mpe Balevi bazongeli penza mosala na bango,
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.
bazali kosala mosala ya Nzambe na bango mpe mosala ya kopetola, mpe bayembi elongo na bakengeli bikuke bazali kosala mosala na bango kolanda mitindo ya Davidi mpe ya Salomo, mwana na ye ya mobali.
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.
Na tango ya Davidi mpe ya Azafi, ezalaki na bakambi ya babeti mindule mpe ya banzembo mpo na kokumisa mpe kozongisa matondi epai ya Nzambe.
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.
Na tango ya Zorobabeli mpe ya Neyemi, bato nyonso ya Isalaele bazalaki kopesa, mikolo nyonso, biloko oyo ekatama mpo na babeti mindule mpe bakengeli bikuke; bazalaki mpe kopesa biloko ya bule epai ya Balevi, bongo Balevi mpe, na ngambo na bango, bazalaki kopesa biloko ya bule epai ya bakitani ya Aron.
