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.
27 Esi wonɔ Yerusalem ƒe gli yeyeawo ŋu kɔm la, Levitɔwo katã tso anyigba la ƒe akpa sia akpa va Yerusalem be yewoana kpekpeɖeŋu le wɔnawo me, eye yewoakpɔ gome le dzidzɔŋkekenyui la ɖuɖu me kple woƒe akpedada, gakogoewo, hadzidziwo kple kasaŋkuwo.
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;
28 Hadzihamenɔlawo hã va Yerusalem tso kɔƒe siwo ƒo xlãe kple Netofatitɔwo ƒe kɔƒewo me
and sons of the singers are gathered together even from the circuit round about Jerusalem, and from the villages of Netophathi,

and from the house of Gilgal, and from fields of Geba and Azmaveth, for villages have the singers built for themselves round about Jerusalem;
30 Nunɔlawo kple Levitɔwo kɔ wo ɖokuiwo ŋu gbã, emegbe la, wokɔ ameawo, agboawo kple gli la hã ŋu.
and the priests and the Levites are cleansed, and they cleanse the people, and the gates, and the wall.

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;
32 Hosaya kple Yuda ƒe kplɔlawo ƒe afã adze wo yome,
and after them goeth Hoshaiah, and half of the heads of Judah,

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;
37 Esi woɖo Tsidzidzigbo la gbɔ la, woɖo ta ŋgɔ tẽe, lia atrakpui siwo yi mɔ la gbɔ le David ƒe du xoxo la me. Tso afi sia la, woyi Tsigbo la gbɔ le ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo.
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.
38 Menɔ hatsotso evelia me, míeto mɔ evelia be míaɖado go wo. Míezɔ tso Kpodzoxɔ Kɔkɔ la gbɔ yi Gli Keke la gbɔ,
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,

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.
40 Hadziha eve siwo dzia akpedaha la nɔ wo nɔƒe le gbedoxɔ la me. Nenema kee nye nye hã kple dɔnunɔlawo ƒe afã
And the two thanksgiving companies stand in the house of God, and I and half of the prefects with me,
41 kple nunɔla siawo: Eliakim, Maaseya, Miniamin, Mikaya, Elioenai, Zekaria kple Hananiya kple woƒe kpẽwo,
and the priests, Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Michaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, Hananiah, with trumpets,
42 eye ame siawo hã kpe ɖe wo ŋuti: Maaseya, Semaya, Eleazar, Uzi, Yehohanan, Malkiya, Elam kple Ezer. Hadziha siawo dzi ha le Yezrahia ƒe kpɔkplɔ te.
and Masseiah, and Shemaiah, and Eleazar, and Uzzi, and Jehohanan, and Malchijah, and Elam, and Ezer, and the singers sound, and Jezrahiah the inspector;
43 Míesa vɔ geɖewo le dzidzɔŋkeke sia dzi, elabena Mawu na mɔnukpɔkpɔ mí be míakpɔ dzidzɔ gã aɖe. Nyɔnuwo kple ɖeviwo hã kpɔ dzidzɔ, eye wose dzidzɔɣli tso Yerusalem le didiƒewo ke!
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.
44 Gbe ma gbe la, woɖo ŋutsu aɖewo be woakpɔ nudzraɖoƒewo, nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsanuwo, nu ewoliawo nana kple nuŋeŋe gbãtɔwo nana dzi, eye woaxɔ nu siawo tso agblewo me abe ale si Mose ƒe Sewo ɖoe da ɖi ene. Wotsɔ nunana siawo na nunɔlawo kple Levitɔwo, elabena Yuda ƒe viwo kpɔ ŋudzedze le nunɔlawo kple Leviviwo ƒe dɔwɔwɔ ŋu.
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.
45 Wokpɔ ŋudzedze le hadzilawo, agbonudzɔlawo, ame siwo naa kpekpeɖeŋu le mawusubɔsubɔ kple ameŋutikɔkɔ wɔnawo me le Fia David kple via Fia Solomo ƒe ɖoɖoawo nu hã ŋu.
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,
46 Ɖoɖo be hafialawo nakplɔ hadzilawo le kafukafuhawo kple akpedahawo dzidzi na Mawu me la li xoxo tso David kple Asaf ŋɔli.
for in the days of David and Asaph of old [were] heads of the singers, and a song of praise and thanksgiving to God.
47 Ale fifia, le Zerubabel kple Nehemia ŋɔli la, Israel blibo la naa gbe sia gbe ƒe nuɖuɖu hadzihamenɔlawo, agbonudzɔlawo kple Levitɔwo. Levitɔwo hã tsɔa nu si woxɔna la ƒe akpa aɖe na Aron, nunɔla la ƒe dzidzimeviwo.
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.
