10 Jeshua nĩwe warĩ ithe wa Joiakimu, nake Joiakimu aarĩ ithe wa Eliashibu, nake Eliashibu aarĩ ithe wa Joiada,
And Jeshua, begat Joiakim, —and Joiakim, begat Eliashib, and, Eliashib, [begat] Joiada;

12 Matukũ-inĩ ma Joiakimu, aya nĩo maarĩ atongoria a nyũmba cia athĩnjĩri-Ngai: ya Seraia, aarĩ Meraia; ya Jeremia, aarĩ Hanania;
And, in the days of Joiakim, were priests, ancestral chiefs, —of Seraiah, Meraiah, of Jeremiah, Hananiah;

22 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.
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.
23 Atongoria a nyũmba cia njiaro cia Lawi nginya hĩndĩ ya Johanani mũrũ wa Eliashibu o nao nĩmandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa matukũ macio.
the sons of Levi, ancestral heads, were written in the book of Chronicles, —even until the days of Johanan, son of Eliashib.
24 Nao atongoria a Alawii maarĩ Hashabia, na Sherebia, na Jeshua mũrũ wa Kadimieli, na athiritũ ao, arĩa maarũgamaga mamangʼetheire makĩina nyĩmbo cia kũgooca na cia gũcookia ngaatho, gĩkundi kĩmwe gĩkaamũkagĩria kĩrĩa kĩngĩ, kũringana na ũrĩa gwathanĩtwo nĩ Daudi mũndũ wa Ngai.
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.
25 Matania, na Bakabukia, na Obadia, na Meshulamu, na Talimoni, na Akubu maarĩ aikaria a ihingo arĩa maarangagĩra makũmbĩ marĩa maarĩ ihingo-inĩ.
Mattaniah and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub, were watchers, doorkeepers of the ward, in the storehouses of the gates.
26 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.
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.
27 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.
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.
28 Aini o nao nĩmacookanĩrĩirio hamwe kuuma ngʼongo iria ciathiũrũrũkĩirie Jerusalemu, magĩcookanĩrĩrio kuuma tũtũũra-inĩ twa Anetofathi,
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;
29 na kuuma Bethi-Giligali, na kuuma mwena wa Geba na Azimavethu, nĩgũkorwo aini nĩmeyakĩire matũũra gũthiũrũrũkĩria Jerusalemu.
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.
30 Nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai na Alawii marĩkia gwĩtheria, magĩtheria andũ, na ihingo, o na rũthingo.
And the priests and the Levites purified themselves, —and purified the people, and the gates, and the wall.
31 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.
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;
32 Hoshaia hamwe na nuthu ya atongoria a Juda makĩmarũmĩrĩra,
and after them went Hoshaiah, and half the rulers of Judah;
33 hamwe na Azaria, na Ezara, na Meshulamu,
then Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam;
34 na Juda, na Benjamini, na Shemaia, na Jeremia,
Judah, and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah;
35 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,
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;
36 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.
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;
37 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.
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.
38 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,
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;
39 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.
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.
40 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,
So the two choirs, came to a stand, at the house of God, —and I, and half the deputies with me;
41 o ũndũ ũmwe na athĩnjĩri-Ngai, nĩo Eliakimu, na Maaseia, na Miniamini, na Mikaia, na Elioenai, na Zekaria, na Hanania marĩ na tũrumbeta twao,
and, the priests—Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with trumpets;
42 o hamwe na Maaseia, na Shemaia, na Eleazaru, na Uzi, na Jehohanani, na Malikija, na Elamu, na Ezeri. Nao aini maatongoragio nĩ Jezerahia.
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.
43 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.
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.
44 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.
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.
45 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.
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.
46 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.
For, in the days of David and Asaph, of old, there were chiefs of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving, unto God.
47 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.
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.
