8 And the Levites, Jesua, Bennui, Cedmihel, Sarebia, Juda, Mathanias, they and their brethren were over the hymns:

22 The Levites the chiefs of the families in the days of Eliasib, and Joiada, and Johanan, and Jeddoa, were recorded, and the priests in the reign of Darius the Persian.
Woŋlɔ nunɔlawo kple Levitɔwo ƒe ƒomeawo ƒe tatɔwo ƒe dzidzimewo da ɖi le Persia fia, Darius ƒe dziɖuɣi le Levitɔ siwo nye Eliasib, Yoiada, Yohanan kple Yaɖua la ŋɔli.
23 The sons of Levi, heads of the families were written in the book of Chronicles, even unto the days of Jonathan the son of Eliasib.
Le Kronika alo Nyadzɔdzɔwo ƒe Agbalẽwo me la, woŋlɔ Levitɔwo ƒe tatɔwo ƒe ŋkɔwo ɖi va se ɖe Yohanan, Eliasib ƒe vi dzi.
24 Now the chief of the Levites were Hasebia, Serebia, and Josue the son of Cedmihel: and their brethren by their courses, to praise and to give thanks according to the commandment of David the man of God, and to wait equally in order.
Le ɣe ma ɣi me la, Levitɔwo ƒe tatɔwoe nye: Hasabia, Serebia kple Yesua, Kadmiel ƒe vi. Woƒe kpeɖeŋutɔwo tsia tsitre ɖe wo ŋgɔ, eye wokpena ɖe wo ŋu le kafukafu kple akpedada wɔnawo me abe ale si David, Mawu ƒe ame la ɖoe da ɖi ene.
25 Mathania, and Becbecia, Obedia, and Mosollam, Telmon, Accub, were keepers of the gates and of the entrances before the gates.
Agbonudzɔla siwo dzɔa nudzɔdzɔwo dzraɖoƒewo ƒe agboawo nu ŋu la woe nye: Matania, Bakbukia, Obadia, Mesulam, Talmon kple Akub.
26 These were in the days of Joacim the son of Josue, the son of Josedec, and in the days of Nehemias the governor, and of Esdras the priest and scribe.
Ame siawoe wɔ dɔ le Yoyakim, Yesua ƒe vi kple Yozadak ƒe tɔgbuiyɔvi ŋɔli kple esi Nehemia nye mɔmefia, eye Ezra nye nunɔla kple agbalẽfiala.
27 And at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought the Levites out of all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem, and to keep the dedication, and to rejoice with thanksgiving, and with singing, and with cymbals, and psalteries and harps.
Esi wonɔ Yerusalem ƒe gli yeyeawo ŋu kɔm la, Levitɔwo katã tso anyigba la ƒe akpa sia akpa va Yerusalem be yewoana kpekpeɖeŋu le wɔnawo me, eye yewoakpɔ gome le dzidzɔŋkekenyui la ɖuɖu me kple woƒe akpedada, gakogoewo, hadzidziwo kple kasaŋkuwo.
28 And the sons of the singing men were gathered together out of the plain country about Jerusalem, and out of the villages of Nethuphati,
Hadzihamenɔlawo hã va Yerusalem tso kɔƒe siwo ƒo xlãe kple Netofatitɔwo ƒe kɔƒewo me
29 And from the house of Galgal, and from the countries of Geba and Azmaveth: for the singing men had built themselves villages round about Jerusalem.
kple Bet Gilgal kple Geba nutowo me kple Azmavet, elabena woƒe hadzilawo tso kɔƒewo na wo ɖokuiwo le Yerusalem gbɔ.
30 And the priests and the Levites purified, and they purified the people, and the gates, and the wall.
Nunɔlawo kple Levitɔwo kɔ wo ɖokuiwo ŋu gbã, emegbe la, wokɔ ameawo, agboawo kple gli la hã ŋu.
31 And I made the princes of Juda go up upon the wall, and I appointed two great choirs to give praise. And they went on the right hand upon the wall toward the dunghill gate.
Mekplɔ Yudatɔwo ƒe kplɔlawo yi gli la tame, eye mena hã be hadziha gã eve nadzi akpedaha. Hadziha ɖeka azɔ gli la tame ato ɖusime aɖo ta Akɔligbo la gbɔ.
32 And after them went Osaias, and half of the princes of Juda,

33 And Azarias, Esdras, and Mosollam,
kpe ɖe Azaria, Ezra, Mesulam,
34 Judas, and Benjamin, and Semeia, and Jeremias.
Yuda, Benyamin, Semaya kple Yeremia ŋu.
35 And of the sons of the priests with trumpets, Zacharias the son of Jonathan. the son of Semeia, the son of Mathania; the son of Michaia, the son of Zechur, the son of Asaph,
Kpe ɖe ame siawo ŋu la, nunɔla siwo lé kpẽ ɖe asi kple Zekaria, Yonatan ƒe vi, Semaya ƒe vi, Matania ƒe vi, Mikaya ƒe vi, Zakur ƒe vi, Asaf ƒe vi,
36 And his brethren Semeia, and Azareel Malalai, Galalai, Maai, Nathanael, and Judas, and Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God: and Esdras the scribe before them at the fountain gate.
kple eƒe kpeɖeŋutɔwo, Semaya, Azarel, Milalai, Milalai, Gilalai, Mai, Netanel, Yuda kple Hanani la tsɔ woƒe haƒonuwo abe ale si David, Mawu ƒe ame la ɖoe da di ene. Ezra, agbalẽfiala la nɔ ŋgɔ na ameha la.
37 And they went up over against them by the stairs of the city of David, at the going up of the wall of the house of David, and to the water gate eastward:
Esi woɖo Tsidzidzigbo la gbɔ la, woɖo ta ŋgɔ tẽe, lia atrakpui siwo yi mɔ la gbɔ le David ƒe du xoxo la me. Tso afi sia la, woyi Tsigbo la gbɔ le ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo.
38 And the second choir of them that gave thanks went on the opposite side, and I after them, and the half of the people upon the wall, and upon the tower of the furnaces, even to the broad wall,
Menɔ hatsotso evelia me, míeto mɔ evelia be míaɖado go wo. Míezɔ tso Kpodzoxɔ Kɔkɔ la gbɔ yi Gli Keke la gbɔ,
39 And above the gate of Ephraim, and above the old gate, and above the fish gate and the tower of Hananeel, and the tower of Emath, and even to the flock gate: and they stood still in the watch gate.

40 And the two choirs of them that gave praise stood still at the house of God, and I and the half of the magistrates with me.
Hadziha eve siwo dzia akpedaha la nɔ wo nɔƒe le gbedoxɔ la me. Nenema kee nye nye hã kple dɔnunɔlawo ƒe afã
41 And the priests, Eliachim, Maasia, Miamin, Michea, Elioenai, Zacharia, Hanania with trumpets,
kple nunɔla siawo: Eliakim, Maaseya, Miniamin, Mikaya, Elioenai, Zekaria kple Hananiya kple woƒe kpẽwo,
42 And Maasia, and Semeia, and Eleazar, and Azzi, and Johanan, and Melchia, and Elam, and Ezer. And the singers sung loud, and Jezraia was their overseer:
eye ame siawo hã kpe ɖe wo ŋuti: Maaseya, Semaya, Eleazar, Uzi, Yehohanan, Malkiya, Elam kple Ezer. Hadziha siawo dzi ha le Yezrahia ƒe kpɔkplɔ te.
43 And they sacrificed on that day great sacrifices, and they rejoiced: for God had made them joyful with great joy: their wives also and their children rejoiced, and the joy of Jerusalem was heard afar off.
Míesa vɔ geɖewo le dzidzɔŋkeke sia dzi, elabena Mawu na mɔnukpɔkpɔ mí be míakpɔ dzidzɔ gã aɖe. Nyɔnuwo kple ɖeviwo hã kpɔ dzidzɔ, eye wose dzidzɔɣli tso Yerusalem le didiƒewo ke!
44 They appointed also in that day men over the storehouses of the treasure, for the libations, and for the firstfruits, and for the tithes, that the rulers of the city might bring them in by them in honour of thanksgiving, for the priests and Levites: for Juda was joyful in the priests and Levites that assisted.
Gbe ma gbe la, woɖo ŋutsu aɖewo be woakpɔ nudzraɖoƒewo, nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsanuwo, nu ewoliawo nana kple nuŋeŋe gbãtɔwo nana dzi, eye woaxɔ nu siawo tso agblewo me abe ale si Mose ƒe Sewo ɖoe da ɖi ene. Wotsɔ nunana siawo na nunɔlawo kple Levitɔwo, elabena Yuda ƒe viwo kpɔ ŋudzedze le nunɔlawo kple Leviviwo ƒe dɔwɔwɔ ŋu.
45 And they kept the watch of their God, and the observance of expiation, and the singing men, and the porters, according to the commandment of David, and of Solomon his son.
Wokpɔ ŋudzedze le hadzilawo, agbonudzɔlawo, ame siwo naa kpekpeɖeŋu le mawusubɔsubɔ kple ameŋutikɔkɔ wɔnawo me le Fia David kple via Fia Solomo ƒe ɖoɖoawo nu hã ŋu.
46 For in the days of David and Asaph from the beginning there were chief singers appointed, to praise with canticles, and give thanks to God.
Ɖoɖo be hafialawo nakplɔ hadzilawo le kafukafuhawo kple akpedahawo dzidzi na Mawu me la li xoxo tso David kple Asaf ŋɔli.
47 And all Israel, in the days of Zorobabel, and in the days of Nehemias gave portions to the singing men, and to the porters, day by day, and they sanctified the Levites, and the Levites sanctified the sons of Aaron.
Ale fifia, le Zerubabel kple Nehemia ŋɔli la, Israel blibo la naa gbe sia gbe ƒe nuɖuɖu hadzihamenɔlawo, agbonudzɔlawo kple Levitɔwo. Levitɔwo hã tsɔa nu si woxɔna la ƒe akpa aɖe na Aron, nunɔla la ƒe dzidzimeviwo.
