1 This is a list of the priests and Levites who came back with Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua, the high priest: Seraiah, Jeremiah, Ezra,

Salu, Amok, Hilkia kod Jedaya. Magi ema ne jotend jodolo kod jotich kaachiel kodgi e ndalo Jeshua.
8 The Levites were Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, and Mattaniah, who with his fellow Levites was in charge of the songs of praise.
Jo-Lawi to ne gin: Jeshua, Binui, Kadmiel, Sherebia, Juda, kod Matania ma bende notelo ne weche mag goyo erokamano kaachiel gi jotich kode.
9 Two other Levites, Bakbukiah and Unni, stood opposite them in the service.
Bakbukia kod Uni, gi jotich kaachiel kodgi nochungʼ momanyore kodgi kuom tije duto.
10 Jeshua the high priest was the father of Joiakim, who was the father of Eliashib, who was the father of Joiada,
Jeshua ne en wuon Joyakim, Joyakim ne en wuon Eliashib, Eliashib wuon Joyada,
11 who was the father of Jonathan, who was the father of Jaddua.
Joyada ne wuon Jonathan, to Jonathan ne wuon Jadua.
12 In Joiakim's time, these were the family leaders of the priests: of the family of Seraiah, Meraiah; of Jeremiah, Hananiah;
E ndalo Joyakim, jodolo mane jotend dhoudi ne gin: koa e anywola Seraya ne en Meraya; koa e anywola Jeremia ne en Hanania;

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.
Jotend miech jo-Lawi e ndalo mar Eliashib; Joyada, Johanan kod Jadua, kaachiel gi joma ne jodolo, nondik nying-gi e kinde loch mar Darius ruodh Pasia.
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.
Jotend mier mane ni e dier nyikwa Lawi nyaka e ndalo mar Johanan wuod Eliashib nondik nying-gi e kitap weche mag ndalo.
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.
To jotend jo-Lawi ne gin: Hashabia, Sherebia, Jeshua wuod Kadmiel, kod jotich kaachiel kodgi, mane ochungʼ ka ngʼiyore ka gipako Nyasaye kendo gidwokone erokamano ka jomoko omo wer to jomoko olo mana kaka Daudi ngʼat Nyasaye nondiko.
25 They were joined by Mattaniah, Bakbukiah, and Obadiah. Meshullam, Talmon, and Akkub were gatekeepers who guarded the storehouses at the gates.
Matania, Bakbukia, Obadia, Meshulam, Talmon kod Akub ne gin jorit dhorangeye ma bende ne ngʼiyo kuonde keno man yo rangach.
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.
Negitiyo e ndalo Joyakim wuod Jeshua, wuod Jozadak, to kendo e ndalo jatelo Nehemia kod Ezra ma jadolo kendo jandiko.
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.
E sa mane igwedho ohinga mar Jerusalem, jo-Lawi nowal oa kama negidakie mine okelgi Jerusalem mondo gitim nyasi gi mor mogundho gi wende mag erokamano kendo ka gigoyo ongengʼo, nyatiti kod orutu.
28 The singers were also brought in from the area around Jerusalem and from the villages of the Netophathites,
Jower bende nokel kanyakla koa e gwenge machiegni gi Jerusalem kaka miech jo-Netofath,
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, kod e gwengʼ Geba gi Azmaveth, nimar jower nosegero miechgi giwegi machiegni gi Jerusalem.
30 Once the priests and the Levites had purified themselves, they purified the people, the gates, and the wall.
Ka jodolo gi jo-Lawi nosepwodhore maler kaka chik dwaro, ne gipwodho ji, dhorangeye, to gi ohinga.
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.
Ne akelo jotend Juda nyaka ewi ohinga. Bende ne ayiero migepe ariyo madongo mag jower mondo odwok erokamano ni Nyasaye. Achiel kuomgi ne ochungʼ ewi ohinga korachwich, kochiko kama iluongo ni Dhoranga Owuoyo.
32 Hoshaiah and half the leaders of Judah followed them,
Hoshaya kod nus mar jotend Juda noluwogi,
33 with Azariah, Ezra, Meshullam,
kaachiel gi Azaria, Ezra, Meshulam,
34 Judah, Benjamin, Shemaiah, and Jeremiah,
Juda, Benjamin, Shemaya, Jeremia,
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,
kaachiel gi jodolo moko man-gi turumbete, kod Zekaria wuod Jonathan, wuod Shemaya, wuod Matania, wuod Mikaya, wuod Zakur, wuod Asaf,
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.
kod jotich kaachiel kode kaka: Shemaya, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, Juda kod Hanani ka gin-gi thumbe migoyo mane olos gi Daudi ka giluwo kor ohinga mi gikadho ewi od Daudi ngʼat Nyasaye. Ezra ma jandiko notelonegi.
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.
E Ranga Soko negidhi nyime wangʼ achiel ka giidho raidhi mar Dala Maduongʼ mar Daudi ka giluwo kor ohinga mi gikadho ewi od Daudi nyaka e Dhoranga Pi mantiere yo wuok chiengʼ.
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,
Migawo mar jower mar ariyo nowuotho kochiko komachielo. Ne aluwogi nyaka ewi ohinga malo, kaachiel gi nus mar ji ka gikalo kama Oger Motingʼore gi Malo mar Kendo mag Mach nyaka e Ohinga Malach,
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.
negikadho Ranga Efraim, Ranga Jeshana, Ranga Rech, Kama Otingʼore gi Malo mar Hananel kod Kama Otingʼore gi Malo ma Mia Achiel nyaka ochopo Ranga Rombe. Negichungo e Ranga Od jarito.
40 Both thanksgiving choirs then took their places in God's Temple. I followed with the group of leaders that was with me,
Bangʼ ka migepe ariyo mar jowergo nosedwoko erokamano ni Nyasaye; negikawo keregi e od Nyasaye, eka an bende kamano kaachiel gi nus mar jotelo,
41 along with the priests blowing their trumpets: Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah.
gi jodolo kaka, Eliakim, Maseya, Miniamin, Mikaya, Elioenai, Zekaria gi Hanania ka gin kod turumbete mag-gi.
42 Then came the singers Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malchijah, Elam, and Ezer, and the choirs sang, directed by Jezrahiah.
Bende ne nitiere Maseya, Shemaya, Eliazar, Uzi, Jehohanan, Malkija, Elam kod Ezer. Jower nower kotelnegi gi Jezrahia.
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.
To e odiechiengno negichiwo misango maduongʼ ka gimor nikech Nyasaye ne osemiyogi mor maduongʼ. Mon kod nyithindo bende ne mor. Koko mar mor mane ni e Jerusalem ne inyalo winjo gi kuma bor.
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.
E sechego ji noyier mondo orit kuonde keno mag chiwruok, olembe mokwongo kod achiel kuom apar. Ne puothe machiegni gi mier matindo, negikelo e od keno bath gigo midwaro kuom Chik ne jodolo kod jo-Lawi, nimar Juda ne mor gi puonj mar jodolo gi jo-Lawi.
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.
Negitiyo tich Nyasachgi kod tich mar pwodhruok, mana kaka jower gi jorit Rangeye notimo, kaluwore gi chike mag Daudi kod wuode Solomon.
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.
E ndalo mar Daudi kod Asaf ema ne telone wende mag pak kod mag goyo erokamano ni Nyasaye nochakore.
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.
Kendo e ndalo Zerubabel gi Nehemia, jo-Israel duto nochako kelo pok mapile pile ni jower kod jorit dhorangeye. Bende negiketo tenge pok ni jo-Lawi mamoko, to jo-Lawi bende nomiyo nyikwa Harun pokgi.
