22 The family leaders of the Levites in the time of Eliashib, Joiada, Johanan, and Jaddua, in addition to those of the priests, were recorded during the reign of Darius the Persian.

23 As for the genealogy of the sons of Levi, the family leaders up to the time of Johanan, son of Eliashib, were listed in the Book of the Records.
Levite insung lamkai ho minbu chu khanggui thusimbu a ana kikoijin hichu Eliashib tupa Johanan khang geiya umsuh peh a ahi.
24 The Levite leaders were Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua, son of Kadmiel, together with their fellow Levites, who stood opposite them, each section giving praise and thanks and responding to one another, as arranged by David, the man of God.
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 They were joined by Mattaniah, Bakbukiah, and Obadiah. Meshullam, Talmon, and Akkub were gatekeepers who guarded the storehouses at 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 They served in the time of Joiakim, son of Jeshua, son of Jozadak, and in the time of Nehemiah the governor and 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 In order to dedicate the wall of Jerusalem, the Levites were called from everywhere they were living to come to Jerusalem and celebrate with joy the dedication with songs of praise and thanks, accompanied by cymbals, harps, 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 The singers were also brought in from the area around Jerusalem and from the villages of the Netophathites,
Jerusalem vel'a Netophath mite khohoa kona lasa ho akhom soh keiyun ahi.
29 as well as from Beth-gilgal and from the area of Geba and Azmaveth, for the singers had built villages for themselves all 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 Once the priests and the Levites had purified themselves, they purified the people, 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 I had the leaders of Judah go up on the wall, and arranged two large choirs that to give thanks. One group went to right along the wall to the Refuse 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 Hoshaiah and half the leaders of Judah followed them,
Hoshiah leh Judah lamkai akehkhat in ajuijun ahi.
33 with Azariah, Ezra, Meshullam,
Azariah, Ezra, Meshullam;
34 Judah, Benjamin, Shemaiah, and Jeremiah,
Judah, Benjamin, Shemaiah, chuleh Jeremiah jong ahiuve.
35 as well as some of the priests with trumpets, and Zechariah, son of Jonathan, son of Shemaiah, son of Mattaniah, son of Micaiah, son of Zaccur, 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 fellow priests, Shemaiah, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, Judah, and Hanani, along with the musical instruments as required by David, the man of God. Ezra the scribe led them.
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 At the Fountain Gate they headed straight up by the stairs of the city of David, where the wall goes uphill, above the house of David, and on to the Water Gate on 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 The other choir group went in the opposite direction. I followed them, along with half the people, on the wall passing the Tower of the Ovens, on to the Broad 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 over the Ephraim Gate, the Jeshanah Gate, the Fish Gate, the Tower of Hananel, and the Tower of the Hundred, as far as the Sheep Gate, stopping at the Guard 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 Both thanksgiving choirs then took their places in God's Temple. I followed with the group of leaders that was 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 along with the priests blowing their trumpets: Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah.
Keiho chu sumkon mut thempu ho Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah chuleh Hananiah;
42 Then came the singers Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malchijah, Elam, and Ezer, and the choirs sang, directed by Jezrahiah.
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 Many sacrifices were offered that day, celebrating that God had brought them so much happiness, tremendous happiness. The women and children also celebrated, and the sounds of joy in Jerusalem could be heard 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 the same day men were put in charge over the storerooms that contained the offerings, the first part of the crops, and tithes. What was allocated by the Law for the priests and Levites was brought into these storerooms from the fields around the towns, because all the people of Judah were happy for the service of the priests and Levites.
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 They were responsible for the worship of their God and for the service of purification, along with the singers and gatekeepers, following the instructions of David and his son Solomon.
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 long ago, back in the time of David and Asaph, directors had been appointed for the singers and for the songs of praise and thanks 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 So in the time of Zerubbabel and of Nehemiah, everyone in Israel provided the daily food allowances for the singers and the gatekeepers. They also made sure to provide for the other Levites, and the Levites gave a share of this to the descendants 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.
