9 and Bakbukiah and Unni, their brethren, [are] over-against them in charges.

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.
E dekọtara aha ndịisi ezinaụlọ ndị Livayị niile nʼụbọchị Eliashib, Joiada, Johanan na Jadua, nakwa nke ndị nchụaja nʼakwụkwọ nʼoge ọchịchị Daraiọs bụ eze Peshịa.
23 Sons of Levi, heads of the fathers, are written on the book of the Chronicles even till the days of Johanan son of Eliashib;
E dekwara aha ndịisi ndị Livayị niile nʼakwụkwọ tutu ruo nʼoge Johanan nwa Eliashib dị ndụ.
24 and heads of the Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua son of Kadmiel, and their brethren, [are] over-against them, to give praise, to give thanks, by command of David the man of God, charge over-against charge.
Ndị a bụ ndịisi ndị Livayị nʼoge ahụ: Hashabaya, Sherebaya, Jeshua, nwa Kadmiel na ndị otu ha. Ha kere onwe ha ụzọ abụọ. Ụzọ abụọ ndị a na-eguzokwa na-eche ibe ha ihu mgbe ọbụla ha na-abụku Chineke abụ otuto na ekele. Otu ụzọ na-amalite nke ọzọ azaghachi, dịka Devid onye nke Chineke si nye ya nʼiwu.
25 Mattaniah, and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub, [are] gatekeepers, keeping charge in the gatherings of the gates.
Ndị nche na-eche ọnụ ụzọ ụlọ ịchịkọba ihe nke ụlọnsọ bụ ndị a: Matanaya, Bakbukaya, Ọbadaya, Meshulam, Talmon na Akub.
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.
Ha jere ozi ha nʼoge Joiakim nwa Jeshua, nwa Jozadak, dị ndụ, na nʼoge Nehemaya bụ onyeisi ọchịchị, na nʼoge Ezra bụkwa onye nchụaja, na onye nkuzi okwu Chineke.
27 And at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought the Levites out of all their places, to bring them in to Jerusalem, to make the dedication even with gladness, and with thanksgivings, and with singing, [with] cymbals, psalteries, and with harps;
Mgbe a na-edo mgbidi Jerusalem ọhụrụ ahụ nsọ, e sitere nʼobodo niile ndị Livayị bi kpọọ ha ka ha bịa nye aka iji ọṅụ mee mmemme ido nsọ ahụ. Ha bịakwara jiri abụ ekele na ihe egwu dị iche iche dịka ụbọ akwara, ịgba na une kelee Chineke.
28 and sons of the singers are gathered together even from the circuit round about Jerusalem, and from the villages of Netophathi,
Ndị ọbụ abụ sitekwara nʼobodo niile dị gburugburu Jerusalem bịa, ọ bụladị site nʼobodo niile ndị Netofa,
29 and from the house of Gilgal, and from fields of Geba and Azmaveth, for villages have the singers built for themselves round about Jerusalem;
na Bet-Gilgal, na akụkụ Geba na Azmavet, nʼihi na ha ewuorola onwe ha obodo nta dị iche iche gburugburu Jerusalem.
30 and the priests and the Levites are cleansed, and they cleanse the people, and the gates, and the wall.
Mgbe ndị nchụaja na ndị Livayị dochara onwe ha ọcha, ha dokwara ndị Izrel niile, na ọnụ ụzọ ama niile, na mgbidi ahụ ọcha.
31 And I bring up the heads of Judah upon the wall, and appoint two great thanksgiving companies and processions. At the right, on the wall, to the dung-gate;
E mere m ka ndị ndu Juda niile rigoro nʼelu mgbidi ahụ. Nʼebe ahụ ka m kenyere otu ndị ọbụ abụ abụọ inye ekele. Otu ụzọ gara akụkụ aka nri nke elu mgbidi ahụ ruo nʼỌnụ Ụzọ Ama Ikpofu Ahịhịa.
32 and after them goeth Hoshaiah, and half of the heads of Judah,
Hoshaya na ọkara ndị ndu Juda na-eso ha nʼazụ,
33 and Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam,
ha na Azaraya, Ezra, Meshulam,
34 Judah, and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah;
Juda, Benjamin, Shemaya, Jeremaya
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,
na ndị nchụaja ndị a ndị na-afụ opi, tinyere Zekaraya nwa Jonatan, nwa Shemaya. Ndị bụ nna nna Zekaraya bụ Matanaya, Mikaya na Zakua, ndị ikwu Asaf.
36 and his brethren 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;
Ndị otu ya, bụ Shemaya, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Netanel, Juda na Hanani. Ha niile ji ngwa egwu ha, ụdị ngwa egwu ndị ahụ Devid onye nke Chineke nyere nʼiwu na ndị ọbụ abụ ga-eji. Ezra, bụ ode akwụkwọ nọ nʼihu na-edu ha.
37 and by the gate of the fountain and over-against 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 unto the water-gate eastward.
Mgbe ha rutere nʼỌnụ Ụzọ ama Isi Iyi, ha rigooro nʼelu nkwasa nrigo ụlọ elu e si abata nʼobodo Devid, si ebe ahụ gafee ụlọeze Devid, gaakwa lọghachi nʼỌnụ Ụzọ Ama Mmiri, nke dị nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ obodo ahụ.
38 And the second thanksgiving company that is going over-against, and I after it, and half of the people on the wall from beyond the tower of the furnaces and unto the broad wall,
Ndị ọbụ abụ nke ọzọ bụ ndị na-enye ekele gara ụzọ aka ekpe. Mụ onwe m sooro ha nʼelu mgbidi ahụ, tinyere ọkara ndị mmadụ ahụ, gafee Ụlọ elu Ite Ọkụ jeruo Mgbidi Sara Mbara.
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 unto the sheep-gate — and they have stood at the prison-gate.
Anyị sitekwara nʼebe ahụ gafee Ọnụ Ụzọ Ama Ifrem, Ọnụ Ụzọ ama Jeshana, Ọnụ Ụzọ Ama Azụ, Ọnụ Ụzọ Ama Ụlọ Elu Hananel, ruokwa nʼỌnụ Ụzọ Ama Ụlọ Elu Narị na ruo nʼỌnụ Ụzọ Ama Atụrụ, kwụsị nʼỌnụ Ụzọ Ama Ndị Nche.
40 And the two thanksgiving companies stand in the house of God, and I and half of the prefects with me,
Ya mere, ụzọ ndị mmadụ abụọ na-abụ abụ ekele nye Chineke zukọtara bata nʼụlọnsọ ukwu. Esokwa m ha bata, mụ na ọkara ndị ndu,
41 and the priests, Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Michaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, Hananiah, with trumpets,
tinyere ndị nchụaja ndị a: Eliakịm, Maaseia, Miniamin, Mikaya, Elioenai, Zekaraya na Hananaya. Ndị a niile ji opi ha.
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;
Ndị ọzọ sokwa bata bụ ndị a: Maaseia, Shemaya, Elieza, Uzi, Jehohanan, Malkija, Elam na Eza. Onyendu ndị ọbụ abụ ahụ niile bụ Jezrahaya.
43 and they sacrifice on that day great sacrifices and rejoice, for God hath made them rejoice [with] great joy, and also, the women and the children have rejoiced, and the joy of Jerusalem is heard — unto a distance.
Ha chụrụ ọtụtụ aja nʼụbọchị ahụ nʼihi na Chineke nyere ha oke ọṅụ. Ụmụnta na ndị inyom sokwa ṅụrịa ọṅụ. Ha nụkwara ụda ọṅụ ndị Jerusalem site nʼebe dị anya.
44 And certain are appointed on that day over the chambers for treasures, for heave-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.
Nʼoge ahụ ka a họpụtara ndị ikom na-elekọta ụlọ ịchịkọba ihe, ebe a na-achịkọba onyinye mkpụrụ mbụ, na onyinye otu ụzọ nʼụzọ iri. A na-esite nʼobodo gbara Jerusalem gburugburu na-ewebata nʼụlọ ịchịkọba ihe onyinye niile e nyere nʼiwu maka ọdịmma ndị nchụaja na ndị Livayị. E si otu a na-ewebata ya nʼihi na ọrụ ndị nchụaja na ndị Livayị na-arụ na-atọ ndị Juda ụtọ nke ukwuu.
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] Solomon his son,
Nʼihi na ha na-arụ ọrụ Chineke ahụ ha ketara ịrụ, ya na ọrụ ido ndị mmadụ na ihe ọbụla nsọ. Otu a kwa ka ndị ọbụ abụ, na ndị na-eche nche sị arụkwa ọrụ a dịka iwu Devid na Solomọn nwa ya nyere si dị.
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.
Ọ bụ nʼoge Devid na Asaf ka e bidoro inwe ndị ndu abụ ito na ikele Chineke.
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.
Ya mere, nʼoge Zerubabel na Nehemaya, ndị Izrel niile na-ewebata onyinye e ji akwagide ọrụ ndị ọbụ abụ, na ndị nche, na ndị Livayị. Ha kewapụtakwara oke ruru ndị Livayị ndị ọzọ iche, ndị Livayị nʼonwe ha kwa, kewapụtara oke ruru ụmụ Erọn nʼime ihe e nyere ha dịka e si nye ya nʼiwu.
