Nehemiah 12

1 Now, these, are the priests and the Levites, who came up with Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua, —Seraiah, Jeremiah, Ezra;

Pa inge inen mwet tol ac mwet Levi su foloko liki sruoh welul Zerubbabel wen natul Shealtiel, ac oayapa Mwet Tol Fulat Joshua:

Sallu, Amok, Hilkiah, ac Jedaiah. Mwet inge mwet kol inmasrlon mwet tol wialos in len lal Joshua.

8 And, the Levites, Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, Mattaniah, —over the choirs, he and his brethren;

[Mwet Levi]: Mwet inge pa fosrngakin alullul ke on in sang kulo: Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, ac Mattaniah.

9 and Bakbukiah and Unno their brethren, were over against them, in wards.

Mwet inge pa yuk on in asupangi: Bakbukiah, Unno, ac mwet Levi wialtal.

10 And Jeshua, begat Joiakim, —and Joiakim, begat Eliashib, and, Eliashib, [begat] Joiada;

Joshua pa papa tumal Joiakim, su papa tumal Eliashib, su papa tumal Joiada,

11 and, Joiada, begat Jonathan, —and, Jonathan, begat Jaddua.

su papa tumal Jonathan, su papa tumal Jaddua.

12 And, in the days of Joiakim, were priests, ancestral chiefs, —of Seraiah, Meraiah, of Jeremiah, Hananiah;

Ke pacl se Joiakim el Mwet Tol Fulat, mwet inge pa mwet kol lun kais sie sou in mwet tol: Meraiah in sou lal Seraiah, Hananiah in sou lal Jeremiah,

13 of Ezra, Meshullam, —of Amariah, Jehohanan;

21 of Hilkiah, Hashabiah, —of Jedaiah, Nethanel.

Hashabiah in sou lal Hilkiah, Nethanel in sou lal Jedaiah.

22 The Levites—in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, and Johanan, and Jaddua, were recorded as ancestral chiefs, —also the priests, unto the reign of Darius the Persian.

Simisyukla inen mwet nukewa su sifen sou lun mwet Levi ac sou lun mwet tol ke pacl Mwet Tol Fulat inge srakna moul: Eliashib, Joiada, Jonathan ac Jaddua. Ma simusla se inge tufah aksafyeyukla ke pacl se Darius el leum fulat lun Persia nufon.

23 the sons of Levi, ancestral heads, were written in the book of Chronicles, —even until the days of Johanan, son of Eliashib.

Tusruktu, inen sifen sou lun mwet Levi tuh filiyuki in ma simusla fulat nwe ke na pacl lal Jonathan, wen nutin natul Eliashib.

24 And, the chiefs of the Levites, Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua son of Kadmiel, with their brethren over against them, to praise—to give thanks, by the commandment of David the man of God, —ward joined to ward.

Ye kolyuk lal Hashabiah, Sherebiah, Jeshua, Binnui, ac Kadmiel, mwet Levi elos kitakatelik nu ke u. Kais luo u elos oru on in asupangi in kaksakin God ac sang kulo nu sel, fal nu ke oakwuk ma tuh orekla sel Tokosra David, mwet lun God.

25 Mattaniah and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub, were watchers, doorkeepers of the ward, in the storehouses of the gates.

Pa inge inen mwet topang ke mutunpot lun Tempul su liyaung infukil in filma sisken mutunpot lun Tempul: Mattaniah, Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, ac Akkub.

26 These, were in the days of Joiakim, son of Jeshua, son of Jozadak, —and in the days of Nehemiah the pasha, and Ezra the priest the scribe.

Mwet inge moul in pacl lal Joiakim, wen natul Joshua, wen natul Jehozadak, ac in pacl sac Nehemiah el governor, ac Ezra, mwet sasla ke Ma Sap, el mwet tol.

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 and the rejoicing, both with thanksgiving and with music, cymbals, harps, and with lyres.

Ke pacl se pot lun siti Jerusalem kisaiyukla, utukeni mwet Levi liki acn nukewa elos muta we, tuh elos in wi akfulatye len in kisa ke pusren on in sang kulo oayapa ke pusren cymbal ac harp.

28 So the sons of the singers gathered themselves together, —both out of the circuit round about Jerusalem, and out of the villages of the Netophathites;

Sou in on lun mwet Levi elos fahsreni liki acn elos oakwuk we rauneak Jerusalem, ac liki inkul ma rauneak acn Netophah,

29 also out of Beth-gilgal, and out of the fields of Geba, and Azmaveth, —for, villages, had the singers builded for themselves, round about Jerusalem.

oayapa liki Bethgilgal, Geba, ac Azmaveth.

30 And the priests and the Levites purified themselves, —and purified the people, and the gates, and the wall.

Mwet tol ac mwet Levi elos aknasnasyalos sifacna, oayapa elos aknasnasye mwet uh, mutunoa uh, ac pot lun siti uh, fal nu ke oakwuk lun alu lalos.

31 Then brought I up the rulers of Judah upon the wall, —and I appointed two large choirs, even to go in procession to the right, upon the wall, towards the dung-gate;

Nga pangoneni mwet kol lun Judah nu fin pot uh, ac sap tuh elos in kol u lulap luo in fahsr rauni siti uh, ac sang kulo nu sin God. U se meet ut layen layot fin pot uh ac fahsr nu ke Mutunpot Kutkut.

32 and after them went Hoshaiah, and half the rulers of Judah;

Hoshaiah el fahsr tukun mwet on, ac tafu mwet kol lun Judah fahsr tokol.

33 then Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam;

Mwet tol Azariah, Ezra, Meshullam,

34 Judah, and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah;

Judah, Benjamin, Shemaiah, ac Jeremiah,

35 and, of the sons of the priests, with trumpets, Zechariah—son of Jonathan—son of Shemaiah—son of Mattaniah, son of Micaiah, son of Zaccur, son of Asaph;

elos fahsr tokolos ac uk mwe ukuk. Na Zechariah, wen natul Jonathan, wen natul Shemaiah, wen natul Mattaniah, wen natul Micaiah, wen natul Zaccur in sou lun Asaph,

36 and his brethren—Shemaiah and Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, and Judah, Hanani, with the instruments of music of David, the man of God, —with Ezra the scribe before them;

oayapa mwet wial inge: Shemaiah, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, Judah, ac Hanani, elos nukewa us kain in mwe on ma Tokosra David, mwet lun God, el tuh sritalkin. Ezra, mwet sasla ke Ma Sap, el fahsr meet liki u se inge ke elos takla fahsr.

37 and, over they 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 as far as the water-gate, eastward.

Sisken Mutunpot Unon elos fanyak ke step ma utyak nu ke Siti sel David, aliki inkul fulat sel Tokosra David, ac folok nu ke kalkal sisken Mutunpot Kof, layen kutulap ke siti ah.

38 And, the second choir, was going over against them, I, following it, —with the half of the people upon the wall, above the tower of the ovens, even as far as the broad wall;

U se akluo sin mwet su fahsr ac sang kulo elos ut layen lasa fin pot uh, ac nga fahsr tokolos wi tafu mwet uh. Kut takla fahsr alukela Tower lun Funyu nu ke Pot Sralap,

39 and above the gate of Ephraim, and upon the old gate, and upon the fish-gate, and the tower of Hananel, and the tower of Hammeah, even as far as the sheep-gate, —and they came to a stand, at the gate of the guard.

ac liki acn sac kut fahsr alukela Mutunpot Ephraim, Mutunpot Jeshanah, Mutunpot Ik, Tower lun Hananel, ac Tower lun Foko, nu ke Mutunpot Sheep. Kut aksafye fahsr lasr apkuran nu ke mutunpot nu ke Tempul.

40 So the two choirs, came to a stand, at the house of God, —and I, and half the deputies with me;

Ou inge u luo kewa su sang kulo nu sin God elos sun acn ma Tempul oan we. Sayen mwet kol su wiyu,

41 and, the priests—Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with trumpets;

oasr pac mwet tol ke u se luk inge, su uk mwe ukuk: Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, ac Hananiah;

42 and Maaseiah and Shemaiah and Eleazar and Uzzi and Jehohanan and Malchijah and Elam and Ezer, —and the musicians sounded, aloud with Jezrahiah who was over them.

na mwet fahsr tokolos pa Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malchijah, Elam, ac Ezer. Mwet on elos on ke pusra lulap, ac Jezrahiah el mwet kol lalos.

43 And they sacrificed, on that day, great sacrifices, and rejoiced, for, God, had caused them to rejoice with great joy, moreover also, the women and children, rejoiced, —so that the rejoicing of Jerusalem was heard afar off.

Ke len sac, mwet uh kisakin mwe kisa puspis, ac elos sessesla ke engan mweyen God El oru tuh elos in arulana engan. Mutan ac tulik elos wi pac akfulat, ac pusren mwet nukewa arulana yohk, ku in lohngyuk oe yen loessula.

44 And there were set in charge, on that day, certain men, over the chambers for the treasures, for the heave-offerings, for the firstfruits, and for the tithes, to gather into them, out of the fields of the cities, the portions appointed by the law, for the priests, and for the Levites, —for, the joy of Judah, was over the priests and over the Levites, who were remaining.

In pacl sac itukyang kutu mukul in fosrngakin infukil in filma, yen mwe sang ma orekeni lun Tempul karinginyuk we, weang sie tafu singoul in mwe kosrani lalos, ac fahko se meet ke kais sie yac ke wheat ac fokinsak. Ma kunen mukul inge in eisani ma orekeni nu sin mwet tol ac mwet Levi, liki ima in kais sie siti, fal nu ke ma oakwuki in Ma Sap. Mwet Judah nukewa elos insewowo ke mwet tol ac mwet Levi,

45 So they kept the charge of their God, and the charge of the purification, and [so did] the singers and the doorkeepers, —according to the commandment of David and of Solomon his son.

mweyen elos orala alu in aknasnas ac oakwuk saya ke alu lalos su God El sapkin. Mwet on lun Tempul ac mwet karingin mutunpot lun Tempul elos oayapa orala ma kunalos fal nu ke oakwuk orekla sel Tokosra David ac Solomon, wen natul.

46 For, in the days of David and Asaph, of old, there were chiefs of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving, unto God.

Mutawauk oe in pacl lal Tokosra David ac Asaph, oasr mwet in kol on in kaksak ac sang kulo nu sin God.

47 Now, all Israel—in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah, used to give the portions of the singers and the doorkeepers, the need of a day upon its day, —and they hallowed them unto the Levites, and, the Levites, hallowed them unto the sons of Aaron.

In pacl lal Zerubbabel ac oayapa pacl lal Nehemiah, mwet Israel nukewa sang mwe lung ke kais sie len in mwe kasru nu sin mwet on ac mwet karingin mutunpot lun Tempul. Mwet uh sang mwe sang mutal nu sin mwet Levi, ac mwet Levi elos sang ip ma oakwuki tuh in ma lun mwet tol.
