8 And the Levites: Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, Mattaniah, he [is] over the thanksgiving, and his brothers,
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 brothers, [are] opposite them in charges.
Bakibukia mpe Uni, baninga na bango ya mosala, bazalaki kosala mosala na bango na ngambo mosusu.
10 And Jeshua has begotten Joiakim, and Joiakim has begotten Eliashib, and Eliashib has begotten Joiada,
Jozue abotaki Yoakimi, Yoakimi abotaki Eliashibi, Eliashibi abotaki Yoyada,
11 and Joiada has begotten Jonathan, and Jonathan has begotten Jaddua.
Yoyada abotaki Jonatan, Jonatan abotaki Yaduwa.
12 And in the days of Joiakim have been priests, heads of the fathers: of Seraiah, Meraiah; of Jeremiah, Hananiah;
Tala bato oyo bazalaki bakambi ya mabota ya Banganga-Nzambe tango Yoakimi azalaki mokonzi: mpo na libota ya Seraya: Meraya; mpo na libota ya Jeremi: Anania;

22 The Levites, in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, and Johanan, and Jaddua, are written, heads of fathers, and of the priests, in the kingdom 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 Sons of Levi, heads of the fathers, are written on the scroll of the Chronicles even until the days of Johanan 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 heads of the Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua son of Kadmiel, and their brothers, [are] opposite them, to give praise, to give thanks, by command of David the man of God, charge close by charge.
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, [are] gatekeepers, keeping watch in the gatherings 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 [are] in the days of Joiakim son of Jeshua, 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 make the dedication even with gladness, and with thanksgivings, and with singing, [with] cymbals, psalteries, and with 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 sons of the singers are gathered together even from the circuit around Jerusalem, and from the villages of Netophathi,
Babengisaki lisusu bayembi longwa na etuka oyo ezalaki zingazinga ya Yelusalemi, longwa na bamboka mike-mike ya bato ya Netofa,
29 and from the house of Gilgal, and from fields of Geba and Azmaveth, the singers have built for villages for themselves around 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 are cleansed, and they cleanse the people, and the gates, and the wall.
Tango Banganga-Nzambe mpe Balevi bamipetolaki, bapetolaki mpe bato, bikuke mpe mir.
31 And I bring up the heads of Judah on the wall, and appoint two great thanksgiving companies and processions. At the right, on the wall, to the Refuse 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 goes Hoshaiah, and half of the heads 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 of the sons of the priests with trumpets, Zechariah son of Jonathan, son of Shemaiah, son of Mattaniah, son of Michaiah, son of Zaccur, 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 brothers Shemaiah, and Azarael, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethaneel, and Judah, Hanani, with instruments of song of David the man of God, and Ezra the scribe [is] 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 by the Fountain Gate and in front of them, they have gone up by the steps of the City of David, at the going up of the wall beyond the house of David, and 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 thanksgiving company that is going opposite, and I after it, and half of the people on the wall from beyond the Tower of the Furnaces and 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 beyond the Gate of Ephraim, and by the Old Gate, and by the Fish Gate, and the Tower of Hananeel, and the Tower of Meah, and to the Sheep Gate—and they have stood at 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 the two thanksgiving companies stand in the house of God, and I and half of the prefects 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, Michaiah, 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 Masseiah, and Shemaiah, and Eleazar, and Uzzi, and Jehohanan, and Malchijah, and Elam, and Ezer, and the singers sound, and Jezrahiah the inspector;
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 they sacrifice on that day great sacrifices and rejoice, for God has made them rejoice [with] great joy, and also, the women and the children have rejoiced, and the joy of Jerusalem is heard—to a distance.
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 certain are appointed on that day over the chambers for treasures, for raised-offerings, for first-fruits, and for tithes, to gather into them out of the fields of the cities the portions of the law for priests, and for Levites, for the joy of Judah [is] over the priests, and over the Levites, who are standing up.
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 the singers and the gatekeepers keep the charge of their God, even the charge of the cleansing—according to the command of David [and] his son Solomon,
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 in the days of David and Asaph of old [were] heads of the singers, and a song of praise and thanksgiving 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, are giving the portions of the singers, and of the gatekeepers, the matter of a day in its day, and are sanctifying to the Levites, and the Levites are sanctifying to the sons 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.
