Nehemiah 12
1 Now these are the priests and the Levites that went up with Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua: Seraiah, Jeremiah, Ezra;
Irezao o mpisoroñe naho nte-Levy nindre nionjoñe amy Zerobabele, ana’ i Sealtiele naho Iesoa mb’eoo: i Serià, Iiremià, i Ezra,
2 Amariah, Malluch, Hattush;
i Amarià, i Maloke, i Katose;
3 Shecaniah, Rehum, Meremoth;
i Sekanià, i Rekome, i Meremote;
4 Iddo, Ginnethoi, Abijah;
Idò, i Ginetoy, i Abià;
5 Mijamin, Maadiah, Bilgah;
i Miiamine, i Maadià, i Bilgà;
6 Shemaiah, and Joiarib, Jedaiah;
i Semaià naho Ioiaribe, Iedaià;
7 Sallu, Amok, Hilkiah, Jedaiah. These were the chiefs of the priests and their brethren in the days of Jeshua.
i Salò, i Amoke, i Kilkià, Iedaià, ie mpiaolom-pisoroñe naho o longo’eo tañ’ andro’ Iesoà.
8 Moreover the Levites: Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, and Mattaniah, who was over the thanksgiving, he and his brethren.
Le o nte-Levio: Iehosoa, i Binoý, i Kadmiele, i Serebià, Iehoda naho i Matanià mpiaolom-pañandriañañe, ie vaho o longo’eo.
9 Also Bakbukiah and Unni, their brethren, were over against them in wards.
Le i Bakbokià naho i Oný, rahalahi’ iareo, nifanandrife am’ iereo am-pirimboñañe.
10 And Jeshua begot Joiakim, and Joiakim begot Eliashib, and Eliashib begot Joiada,
Nisamak’ Ioiakime t’Iehosoa; le nisamak’ i Eliasibe t’ Ioiakime; le nisamak’ Ioiadà t’i Eliasibe,
11 and Joiada begot Jonathan and Jonathan begot Jaddua.
vaho nisamak’ Ionatane t’i Ioiadà.
12 And in the days of Joiakim were priests, heads of fathers' houses: of Seraiah, Meraiah; of Jeremiah, Hananiah;
Ie tañ’ andro Ioiakime, le nimpisoroñe naho mpiaolo añ’ anjomban-droae’ i Seraià t’i Meraià, ahy Ieremià t’i Kananià;
13 of Ezra, Meshullam; of Amariah, Jehohanan;
ahy Ezra t’i Mesolame; ahy Amarià t’Iehokanane;
14 of Melicu, Jonathan; of Shebaniah, Joseph;
ahy Melikò t’Ionatane; ahy Sebanià t’Iosefe;
15 of Harim, Adna; of Meraioth, Helkai;
ahy Karime t’i Adnà; ahy Meraiote t’i Kelkay;
16 of Iddo, Zechariah; of Ginnethon, Meshullam;
ahy Idò t’i Zekarià; ahy Ginetone t’i Mesolame;
17 of Abijah, Zichri; of Miniamin; of Moadiah, Piltai;
ahy Abiià t’i Zikrý; boake Miniamine; ahy Moadià t’i Piltay;
18 of Bilgah, Shammua; of Shemaiah, Jehonathan;

19 and of Joiarib, Mattenai; of Jedaiah, Uzzi;
naho ahy Ioiaribe t’i Matenay; ahy Iedaià t’i Ozý;

22 The Levites in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, and Johanan, and Jaddua, were recorded heads of fathers' houses; also the priests, in the reign of Darius the Persian.
O nte Levy tañ’andro’ i Eliasibeo, Ioiada naho Iohanane naho Iadoà ty nivolilieñe ho roaen’ anjomban-droae; hoe zay ka o mpisoroñeo, tañ’andro’ i Dareiavese nte-Parsý.
23 The sons of Levi, heads of fathers' houses, were written in the book of the chronicles, even until the days of Johanan the son of Eliashib.
Sinokitse amy boken-taliliy pak’ añ’ andro’ Iokanane ana’ i Eliasibe o ana’ i Levy, mpiaolon’ anjomban-droaeo.
24 And the chiefs of the Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua the son of Kadmiel, with their brethren over against them, to praise and give thanks, according to the commandment of David the man of God, ward against ward.
Le o mpiaolo nte-Levio: i Kasabià, i Serebià, Iesòa, ana’ i Kadmiele, mitraok’ amo rahalahi’e nifanandrife am’ iareoo, handrenge naho hañandriañe, ty amy lili’ i Davide ‘ndatin’ Añaharey, firimboñañe miatre-pirimboñañe.
25 Mattaniah, and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub, were porters keeping the ward at the store-houses of the gates.
Nimpañambem-pizilihañe nitam-pijilovañe añ’ efem-pañaja’ o lalambei’eo t’i Matanià naho i Bakbokià, i Obadia, i Mesolame, i Talmone vaho i Akobe.
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.
Tañ’andro’ Ioiakime ana’ Iesòa, ana’ Iotsadake naho tañ’ andro’ i Nekemià mpifehe vaho i Ezra mpisoroñe, mpanokitse, irezay.
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 keep the dedication with gladness, both with thanksgivings, and with singing, with cymbals, psalteries, and with harps.
Ie tamy fañorizañe i kijoli’ Ierosalaimeiy, le nitsoehe’ iareo an-toe’ iareo iaby o nte-Levio hitaoñe iareo mb’e Ierosalaime, hitañe i fañorizañey am-pirebehañe naho fañandriañañe naho fisaboañe, am-pikorintsañe naho jejobory vaho marovany.
28 And the sons of the singers gathered themselves together, both out of the Plain round about Jerusalem, and from the villages of the Netophathites;
Aa le nifanontoñe boak’ am-paripari’ Ierosalaime ey naho boak’ amo tanàm-pitoroñe añ’anjombao o anam-pisaboo;
29 also from Beth-gilgal, and out of the fields of Geba and Azmaveth; for the singers had builded them villages round about Jerusalem.
naho boak’e Bete-gilgale vaho boak’ an-tete’ i Gebà naho i Atsmavete ao; fa namboatse tanañe mañohoke Ierosalaime o mpisaboo.
30 And the priests and the Levites purified themselves; and they purified the people, and the gates, and the wall.
Le nañefe-batañe o mpisoroñeo naho o nte-Levio; le nefera’ iereo ondatio naho o lalambeio vaho i kijoliy.
31 Then I brought up the princes of Judah upon the wall, and appointed two great companies that gave thanks and went in procession: on the right hand upon the wall toward the dung gate;
Le nendeseko mb’ ambone’ i kijoliy mb’eo o mpiaolo’ Iehodao, le nanendreako firimboñam-pisabo jabajaba roe, ty valoha’e hionjomb’ an-kavana ambone’ i kijoliy mb’ an-dalambeim-porompotse mb’eo;
32 and after them went Hoshaiah, and half of the princes of Judah;
nanonjohy iareo t’i Hosaià naho ty vakim-piaolo’ Iehodao;
33 and Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam,
naho i Azarià, i Ezra vaho i Mesolame,
34 Judah, and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah;
Iehoda naho i Beniamine naho i Semaià vaho Ieremià;
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;
naho ty ila’ o anam-pisoroñe mpinday trompetrao: i Zekarià, ana’ Ionatane, ana’ i Semaià, ana’ i Matanià, ana’ i Mikaià, ana’ i Zakore, ana’ i Asafe;
36 and his brethren, Shemaiah, and Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, and Judah, Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God; and Ezra the scribe was before them;
naho o rahalahi’eo: i Semaià naho i Azarele, i Milalay, i Gilalay, i Maaý, i Netanele vaho Iehodà, i Kananý, rekets’ o fititiha’ i Davide ondatin’ Añaharey; le niaolo iareo t’i Ezra, mpanokitse;
37 and by the fountain gate, and straight before them, they went up by the stairs of the city of David, at the going up of the wall, above the house of David, even unto the water gate eastward.
Ie an-dalambein-drano migoangoañe eo, le nivantañe nañambone’ i fanongàn-drova’ i Davidey, amy fanongan-kijoly ambone’ ty anjomba’ i Davidey, mb’ an-dalambein-drano atiñanam-b’eo.
38 And the other company of them that gave thanks went to meet them, and I after them, with the half of the people, upon the wall, above the tower of the furnaces, even unto the broad wall;
Le nimb’ ami’ty hifanalakàñe amy raikey i firimboñam-pañandriañañe ila’ey, toe nanonjohy iereo iraho, nitraok’ amy an-tsasa’ ondatioy, ambone’ i kijoliy, mb’ambone’ i fitalakesañ’ abon-toñakey, mb’ amy kijoly mitratrañàkey,
39 and above the gate of Ephraim, and by the gate of the old city and by the fish gate, and the tower of Hananel, and the tower of Hammeah, even unto the sheep gate; and they stood still in the gate of the guard.
le mb’ ambone’ i lalambei’ Efraimey mb’eo naho nioza i lalambein-drova taoloy naho i lalambeim-piañey naho ty fitalakesañ’abo’ i Kanànele naho ty fitalakesañ’abo’ i Zatoy mb’amy lalambein’ añondriy mb’eo, vaho nijohañe an-dalambeim-pigaritse eo.
40 So stood the two companies of them that gave thanks in the house of God, and I, and the half of the rulers with me;
Teo ty nijohaña’ i firimboñañe roe nañandriañe añ’ anjomban’ Añahare ao rey naho izaho, rekets’ i vakim-piaolo nindre amakoy;
41 and the priests, Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with trumpets;
naho o mpisoroñeo, i Eliakime, i Maaseià, i Miniamine, i Mikaià, i Elionay, i Zekarià naho i Kananià, rekets’ o trompetrao;
42 and Maaseiah, and Shemaiah, and Eleazar, and Uzzi, and Jehohanan, and Malchijah, and Elam, and Ezer. And the singers sang loud, with Jezrahiah their overseer.
naho i Maaseià naho i Semaià naho i Ozý naho Iehokanane naho i Malkiià naho i Elame vaho i Ezere. Nampipoña-peo o mpisaboo, mpifelek’ iareo t’Iizrakà.
43 And they offered great sacrifices that day, and rejoiced; for God had made them rejoice with great joy; and the women also and the children rejoiced; so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard even afar off.
Le nañenga soroñe ra’elahy iereo amy andro zay naho nirebeke, fa nampirebehen’ Añahare an-kafaleam-bey; naho o rakembao naho o ajajao; vaho nijanjiñeñe lavitse añe ty hafalea’ Ierosalaime.
44 And on that day were men appointed over the chambers for the treasures, for the heave-offerings, for the first-fruits, and for the tithes, to gather into them, according to the fields of the cities, the portions appointed by the law for the priests and Levites; for Judah rejoiced for the priests and for the Levites that took their stations.
Amy andro zay ty nanendreañe ondaty hifehe o trañom-pañajàñe o varao, o engan-kelahelao, o loha-voao vaho o faha-foloo, te hatontoñe ao ty boak’ amo teten-drovao ty anjara tinendre’ i Hake amo mpisoroñe naho nte-Levio; amy te nirebeke ty amo mpisoroñeo naho o nte-Levy mpijohañeo t’Iehodà.
45 And they kept the ward of their God, and the ward of the purification, and so did the singers and the porters, according to the commandment of David, and of Solomon his son.
Ie nañambeñe ty fitoroñañe an’ Andrianañahare’ iareo naho i fañeferañey, le nanahake Izay ka o mpisaboo naho o mpigaritseo, ie lili’ i Davide naho i Selomò ana’ey.
46 For in the days of David and Asaph of old there were chief of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving unto God.
Fa teo tañ’ andro’ i Davide naho i Asafe taolo, o mpiaolom-pisabo naho sabom-pandrengeañe naho fañandriañañe aman’ Añahareo.
47 And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah, gave the portions of the singers and the porters, as every day required; and they hallowed for the Levites; and the Levites hallowed for the sons of Aaron.
Aa le songa nanolotse ty anjara’ o mpisaboo naho o mpañambeñeo ami’ ty andro’e t’Israele tañ’ andro’ i Zerobabele naho faha’ i Nekemià, le nandiva’ iareo amo nte-Levio vaho nandiva’ o nte-Levio amo ana’ i Aharoneo.
