Nao atongoria a nyũmba cia Alawii matukũ-inĩ ma Eliashibu, na Joiada, na Johanani, na Jadua, o ũndũ ũmwe na atongoria a athinjĩri-Ngai, nĩmandĩkirwo marĩĩtwa mao hĩndĩ ya wathani wa Dario ũrĩa Mũperisia.
23 The descendants of Levi, their leaders of families were recorded in the book of the annals up to the days of Johanan son of Eliashib.
Atongoria a nyũmba cia njiaro cia Lawi nginya hĩndĩ ya Johanani mũrũ wa Eliashibu o nao nĩmandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa matukũ macio.
24 The leaders of the Levites were Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua son of Kadmiel, with their associates, who stood opposite them to give praise and to give thanks, responding section by section, in obedience to the command of David, the man of God.

26 They served in the days of Joiakim son of Jeshua son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor and of Ezra the priest and scribe.
Maatungataga hĩndĩ ya Joiakimu mũrũ wa Jeshua, mũrũ wa Jozadaku, na hĩndĩ ya Nehemia ũrĩa warĩ barũthi, na hĩndĩ ya Ezara ũrĩa warĩ mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai na mwandĩki-marũa.
27 At the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem, the people sought out the Levites wherever they lived, to bring them to Jerusalem to celebrate the dedication with joy, with thanksgivings and singing with cymbals, harps, and with lyres.
Hĩndĩ ya kwamũrwo kwa rũthingo rwa Jerusalemu, Alawii nĩmacaririo kuuma kũrĩa guothe maarĩ nĩguo moke Jerusalemu makũngũĩre kwamũrwo kũu marĩ na gĩkeno, na makĩinaga nyĩmbo cia gũcookia ngaatho, makĩinaga na thaani iria ihũũrithanagio, na inanda cia kĩnũbi, na cia mũgeeto.
28 The fellowship of singers gathered together from the district around Jerusalem and from the villages of the Netophathites.
Aini o nao nĩmacookanĩrĩirio hamwe kuuma ngʼongo iria ciathiũrũrũkĩirie Jerusalemu, magĩcookanĩrĩrio kuuma tũtũũra-inĩ twa Anetofathi,
29 They also came from Beth Gilgal and from the fields of Geba and Azmaveth, for the singers had built for themselves villages around Jerusalem.
na kuuma Bethi-Giligali, na kuuma mwena wa Geba na Azimavethu, nĩgũkorwo aini nĩmeyakĩire matũũra gũthiũrũrũkĩria Jerusalemu.
30 The priests and the Levites purified themselves, and then they purified the people, the gates, and the wall.
Nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai na Alawii marĩkia gwĩtheria, magĩtheria andũ, na ihingo, o na rũthingo.
31 Then I had the leaders of Judah go up to the top of the wall, and I appointed two large choirs who gave thanks. One went to the right on the wall toward the Dung Gate.
Atongoria a Juda nĩndameerire mahaice rũthingo-igũrũ. Ningĩ ngĩhe ikundi igĩrĩ nene cia aini wĩra wa gũcookia ngaatho. Gĩkundi kĩmwe gĩgĩthiĩ mwena wa ũrĩo kĩrĩ rũthingo-igũrũ, kĩerekeire Kĩhingo gĩa Kĩara-inĩ.
32 Hoshaiah and half the leaders of Judah followed them,
Hoshaia hamwe na nuthu ya atongoria a Juda makĩmarũmĩrĩra,
33 and after them went Azariah, Ezra, Meshullam,
hamwe na Azaria, na Ezara, na Meshulamu,
34 Judah, Benjamin, Shemaiah, Jeremiah,
na Juda, na Benjamini, na Shemaia, na Jeremia,
35 and some of the priests' sons with trumpets, and Zechariah son of Jonathan son of Shemaiah son of Mattaniah son of Micaiah son of Zaccur son of Asaph.
o ũndũ ũmwe na athĩnjĩri-Ngai amwe me na tũrumbeta, o na Zekaria mũrũ wa Jonathani, mũrũ wa Shemaia, mũrũ wa Matania, mũrũ wa Mikaia, mũrũ wa Zakuri, mũrũ wa Asafu,
36 There also were Zechariah's relatives, Shemaiah, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, Judah, Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God. Ezra the scribe was in front of them.
na athiritũ ake, nĩo Shemaia, na Azareli, na Milalai, na Gilalai, na Maai, na Nethaneli, na Juda, na Hanani, marĩ na indo cia kũina nacio o ta ũrĩa gwathanĩtwo nĩ Daudi, mũndũ wa Ngai. Ezara ũrĩa mwandĩki-marũa nĩwe wamatongoretie.
37 By the Fountain Gate they went straight up on the stairs of the city of David, by the stairway to the wall above David's palace, to the Water Gate on the east.
Na rĩrĩ, kuuma Kĩhingo gĩa Gĩthima maathiire marũngĩrĩirie, makĩhaica rũthingo igũrũ na ngathĩ cia Itũũra rĩa Daudi, makĩhĩtũkĩra igũrũ rĩa nyũmba ya Daudi, o nginya Kĩhingo kĩa Maaĩ mwena wa irathĩro.
38 The other choir of those who gave thanks went in the other direction. I followed them on the wall with half the people, above the Tower of Ovens, to the Broad Wall,
Gĩkundi gĩa keerĩ kĩa aini gĩgĩthiĩ kĩerekeire mwena wa ũmotho. Na niĩ ngĩmarũmĩrĩra kũu rũthingo igũrũ hamwe na nuthu ya andũ, tũkĩhĩtũkĩra Mũthiringo wa Mariiko ma Mwaki o nginya Rũthingo-inĩ Rwariĩ,
39 and above the Gate of Ephraim, and by the Old Gate, and by the Fish Gate and the Tower of Hananel and the Tower of the Hundred, to the Sheep Gate, and they stopped at the Gate of the Guard.
igũrũ rĩa Kĩhingo kĩa Efiraimu, na Kĩhingo kĩa Jeshana, na Kĩhingo gĩa Thamaki, na Mũthiringo wa Hananeli, na Mũthiringo wa Igana, nginya Kĩhingo-inĩ kĩa Ngʼondu. Makĩrũgama Kĩhingo-inĩ kĩa Mũrangĩri.
40 So both choirs of those who gave thanks took their place in the house of God, and I also took my place with half of the officials with me.
Ikundi icio cierĩ cia aini cia gũcookia ngaatho igĩikara handũ ha cio thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ya Ngai, o na niĩ ngĩĩka o ũguo, hamwe na nuthu ya anene,
41 Then the priests took their place: Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with the trumpets,
o ũndũ ũmwe na athĩnjĩri-Ngai, nĩo Eliakimu, na Maaseia, na Miniamini, na Mikaia, na Elioenai, na Zekaria, na Hanania marĩ na tũrumbeta twao,
42 and also Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malchijah, Elam, and Ezer, and the singers made themselves heard and Jezrahiah was their leader.
o hamwe na Maaseia, na Shemaia, na Eleazaru, na Uzi, na Jehohanani, na Malikija, na Elamu, na Ezeri. Nao aini maatongoragio nĩ Jezerahia.
43 They offered great sacrifices that day, and rejoiced, for God had made them rejoice with great joy. Also the women and the children rejoiced. So the joy of Jerusalem could be heard far away.
Na mũthenya ũcio nĩmarutire magongona manene, makĩrũũhagia tondũ Ngai nĩamaheete gĩkeno kĩnene. O nao andũ-a-nja na ciana magĩkena. Mbugĩrĩrio ya gĩkeno kũu Jerusalemu nĩyaiguĩkaga kũndũ kũraya.
44 On that day men were appointed to be in charge of the storerooms for the contributions, the firstfruits, and the tithes, to gather into them the portions required by the law for the priests and for the Levites. Each was assigned to work the fields near the towns. For Judah rejoiced over the priests and the Levites who were standing before them.
Mahinda-inĩ macio nĩ gwathuurirwo andũ marũgamĩrĩre makũmbĩ ma indo iria ciarutagwo, na maciaro ma mbere, na gĩcunjĩ gĩa ikũmi. Kuuma mĩgũnda-inĩ ĩrĩa yathiũrũrũkĩirie matũũra magĩrĩirwo kurehe makũmbĩ-inĩ icunjĩ iria ciatuĩtwo nĩ watho irĩ cia athĩnjĩri-Ngai na Alawii, tondũ andũ a Juda nĩmakenagĩra athĩnjĩri-Ngai na Alawii arĩa maatungataga.
45 They performed the service of their God, and the service of purification, and so did the singers and the gatekeepers, in keeping with the command of David and of Solomon his son.
Nĩmarutaga wĩra wa gũtungatĩra Ngai wao, na wĩra wa gwĩtheria, o ta ũrĩa aini na aikaria a ihingo meekaga, kũringana na ũrĩa gwathanĩtwo nĩ Daudi na mũriũ Solomoni.
46 For long ago, in the days of David and Asaph, there were directors of singers, and there were songs of praise and thanksgiving to God.
Nĩgũkorwo tene mũno, matukũ-inĩ ma Daudi na ma Asafu, nĩ kwarĩ na atongoria a aini na a nyĩmbo cia kũgooca na gũcookeria Ngai ngaatho.
47 In the days of Zerubbabel and in the days of Nehemiah, all Israel gave the daily portions for the singers and the gatekeepers. They set aside the portion that was for the Levites, and the Levites set aside a portion for the descendants of Aaron.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio matukũ-inĩ ma Zerubabeli na ma Nehemia, andũ a Isiraeli othe nĩmarutaga icunjĩ cia o mũthenya nĩ ũndũ wa aini na aikaria a ihingo. Ningĩ nĩmamũraga icunjĩ nĩ ũndũ wa Alawii arĩa angĩ, nao Alawii makaamũra icunjĩ nĩ ũndũ wa njiaro cia Harũni.
