22 O na Levi i na lu ia Eliasiba, Ioiada, a me Iohanana, a me Iadua, ua kakauia lakou he poe koikoi o na makua; pela no hoi na kahuna a hiki i ke kau ia Dariu no Peresia.
In the days of Eliashib, Joiada, Johanan, and Jaddua, during the reign of Darius the Persian, the heads of the families of the Levites and priests were recorded.
23 O na mamo a Levi, ka poe koikoi o na makua, ua kakauia lakou ma ka buke o ka Oihanaalii a hiki i na la ia Iohanana ke keiki a Eliasiba.
As for the descendants of Levi, the family heads up to the days of Johanan son of Eliashib were recorded in the Book of the Chronicles.
24 A o ka poe koikoi o na Levi, o Hasabia, Serebeia a me Iesua ke keiki a Kademiela, a o na hoahanau o lakou ma ko lakou alo aku e hoonani a e hoolea aku, e like me ke kauoha a Davids ke kanaka o ke Akua, he papa ma ke alo aku o kekahi papa.
The leaders of the Levites were Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua son of Kadmiel, along with their associates, who stood across from them to give praise and thanksgiving as one section alternated with the other, as prescribed by David the man of God.
25 O Matania, a me Bakebukia, o Obadia, Mesulama, Telemona, Akuba, he poe kiaipuka lakou e kiai ana ma na waihonawaiwai o na puka.
Mattaniah, Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, and Akkub were gatekeepers who guarded the storerooms at the gates.
26 Oia no ka poe i na la ia Ioiakima ke keiki a Iesua, ke keiki a Iozadaka, a i na la ia Nehemia ke kiaaina, a me Ezera ke kahuna, ke kakauolelo.
They served in the days of Joiakim son of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor and Ezra the priest and scribe.
27 A i ka hoolaa ana o ka pa o Ierusalems, imi aku la lakou i na Levi mailoko mai o na wahi a pau loa o lakou, e hoakoakoa mai ia lakou i Ierusalema, e hana i ka hoolaa ana me ka olioli, a me ka hoolea ana'ku a me ke mele, me na kimebala, na lira a me na mea kani.
At the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem, the Levites were sought out from all their homes and brought to Jerusalem to celebrate the joyous dedication with thanksgiving and singing, accompanied by cymbals, harps, and lyres.
28 Hoakoakoaia mai la ka poe mele mai ka papu mai a puni Ierusalema, a mai na kauhale o ko Netopa.
The singers were also assembled from the region around Jerusalem, from the villages of the Netophathites,
29 A mailoko mai o Gilegala, a mai na aina mai o Geba a me Azemaveta: no ka mea, ua kukulu ka poe mele i mau kauhale no lakou a puni Ierusalema.
from Beth-gilgal, and from the fields of Geba and Azmaveth, for they had built villages for themselves around Jerusalem.
30 Huikala iho la na kahuna a me na Levi ia lakou iho, a huikala no hoi lakou i ka poe kanaka a me na puka a me ka pa.
After the priests and Levites had purified themselves, they purified the people, the gates, and the wall.
31 Alaila alakai ae la au i na luna o ka Iuda maluna ae o ka pa, a hoomakaukau iho la au i elua poe nui e hoolea, e hele ae ma ka aoao akau aku kekahi, maluna ae o ka pa a i ka puka lepo.
Then I brought the leaders of Judah up on the wall, and I appointed two great thanksgiving choirs. One was to proceed along the top of the wall to the right, toward the Dung Gate.
32 A hele ae la mahope o lakou o Hosaia, a me ka hapalua o na luna o ka Iuda,
Hoshaiah and half the leaders of Judah followed,
33 A me Azaria, Ezera, a me Mesulama,
along with Azariah, Ezra, Meshullam,
34 Iuda a me Beniamina a me Samaia a me Ieremia,
Judah, Benjamin, Shemaiah, Jeremiah,
35 A me kekahi o na keiki a na kahuna me na pu puhi; o Zekaria ke keiki a Ionatana, ke keiki a Semaia, ke keiki a Matania, ke keiki a Mikaia, ke keiki a Zakura, ke keiki a Asapa;
and some of the priests with trumpets, and also Zechariah son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Micaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph,
36 A me kona mau hoahanau, o Semaia a me Azaraela, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Netaneela a me Iuda, Hanani, me na mea kani a Davida ke kanaka o ke Akua: a o Ezera ke kakauolelo mamua ia o lakou.
and his associates—Shemaiah, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, Judah, and Hanani—with the musical instruments prescribed by David the man of God. Ezra the scribe led the procession.
37 A ma ka puka waipuna e ku pono ana i ko lakou alo, pii ae la lakou ma na anuunuu o ke kulanakauhale o Davida ma kahi kiekie o ka pa, maluna aku o ka hale o Davida, a i ka puka wai ma ka hikina.
At the Fountain Gate they climbed the steps of the City of David on the ascent to the wall and passed above the house of David to the Water Gate on the east.
38 A o ka lua o ka poe hoolea, hele ae la lakou ma ka aoao hema aku, a owau mahope o lakou, a me ka hapalua o ka poe kanaka maluna ae o ka pa, a maluna ae o ka halekiai ma kahi o na umu a hiki i ka pa palahalaha;
The second thanksgiving choir proceeded to the left, and I followed it with half the people along the top of the wall, past the Tower of the Ovens to the Broad Wall,
39 A maluna ae o ka puka o Eperaima, a maluna ae o ka puka kahiko, a maluna o ka puka ia, a me ka halekiai o Hananeela, a me ka halekiai o Mea, a hiki i ka puka hipa; a ku lakou ma ka puka halepaahao.
over the Gate of Ephraim, the Jeshanah Gate, the Fish Gate, the Tower of Hananel, and the Tower of the Hundred, as far as the Sheep Gate. And they stopped at the Gate of the Guard.
40 Ku iho la na poe hoolea elua iloko o ka hale o ke Akua, a owau hoi, a me ka hapalua o na luna me au;
The two thanksgiving choirs then stood in the house of God, as did I, along with the half of the officials accompanying me,
41 A me na kahuna; Eliakima, Maaseia, Miniamina, Mikaia, Elioenai, Zekaria, Hanania, me na pu;
as well as the priests with their trumpets—Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah—
42 A me Maaseia, a me Semaia, a me Eleazara, a me Uzi a me Iehohanana, a me Malekia, a me Elama, a me Ezera. A hoolea aku la ka poe mele, a me Iezerahia ko lakou luna.
and also Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malchijah, Elam, and Ezer. Then the choirs sang out under the direction of Jezrahiah.
43 Mohai aku la lakou ia la i na mohai nui, a hauoli iho la; no ka mea, ua hoohauoli ke Akua ia lakou me ka olioli nui; hauoli no hoi na wahine a me na kamalii; a lohea ka hauoli ana o Ierusalema ma kahi loihi.
On that day they offered great sacrifices, rejoicing because God had given them great joy. The women and children also rejoiced, so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard from afar.
44 A hoonohoia ia la kekahi poe kanaka maluna o na keena no na mea laa, no na makana, no na hua mua, a no na hapaumi, e hoiliili iloko olaila, na na aina mai o na kulanakauhale, i na haawina i kauohaia'i no ka poe kahuna a me na Levi; no ka mea, hauoli iho la ka Iuda maluna o na kahuna a maluna o na Levi e ku mai ana.
And on that same day men were appointed over the rooms that housed the supplies, contributions, firstfruits, and tithes. The portions specified by the Law for the priests and Levites were gathered into these storerooms from the fields of the villages, because Judah rejoiced over the priests and Levites who were serving.
45 Malama iho la ka poe mele a me ka poe kiaipuka i ka oihana a ko lakou Akua, a me ka oihana o ka huikala ana, e like me ke kauoha a Davida, a me Solomona kana keiki.
They performed the service of their God and the service of purification, along with the singers and gatekeepers, as David and his son Solomon had prescribed.
46 No ka mea, i na la o Davida a me Asapa, mai ka wa kahiko mai, he poe luna no maluna o ka poe mele, a he mau mele no e hoolea aku ai a e hoonani aku ai i ke Akua.
For long ago, in the days of David and Asaph, there were directors for the singers and for the songs of praise and thanksgiving to God.
47 A i na la o Zerubabela a i na la o Nehemia, haawi mai la ka Iseraela a pau i na haawina no ka poe mele a me ka poe kiaipuka, kekahi i kela la i keia la: a hoano ae la lakou i na mea no na Levi; a hoano ae la o na Levi no na mamo a Aarona.
So in the days of Zerubbabel and Nehemiah, all Israel contributed the daily portions for the singers and gatekeepers. They also set aside daily portions for the Levites, and the Levites set aside daily portions for the descendants of Aaron.
