Two other Levites, Bakbukiah and Unni, stood opposite them in the service.

The family leaders of the Levites in the time of Eliashib, Joiada, Johanan, and Jaddua, in addition to those of the priests, were recorded during the reign of Darius the Persian.
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 genealogy of the sons of Levi, the family leaders up to the time of Johanan, son of Eliashib, were listed in the Book of the Records.
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 Levite leaders were Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua, son of Kadmiel, together with their fellow Levites, who stood opposite them, each section giving praise and thanks and responding to one another, as arranged 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.
They were joined by Mattaniah, Bakbukiah, and Obadiah. Meshullam, Talmon, and Akkub were gatekeepers who guarded the storehouses 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 time of Joiakim, son of Jeshua, son of Jozadak, and in the time 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.
In order to dedicate the wall of Jerusalem, the Levites were called from everywhere they were living to come to Jerusalem and celebrate with joy the dedication with songs of praise and thanks, 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 brought in from the area around Jerusalem and 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.
as well as from Beth-gilgal and from the area of Geba and Azmaveth, for the singers had built villages for themselves all 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.
Once the priests and the 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.
I had the leaders of Judah go up on the wall, and arranged two large choirs that to give thanks. One group went to right along the wall to the Refuse 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 them,
33 A me Azaria, Ezera, a me Mesulama,
with Azariah, Ezra, Meshullam,
34 Iuda a me Beniamina a me Samaia a me Ieremia,
Judah, Benjamin, Shemaiah, and 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;
as well as some of the priests with trumpets, and Zechariah, son of Jonathan, son of Shemaiah, son of Mattaniah, son of Micaiah, son of Zaccur, 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 fellow priests, Shemaiah, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, Judah, and Hanani, along with the musical instruments as required by David, the man of God. Ezra the scribe led them.
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 headed straight up by the stairs of the city of David, where the wall goes uphill, above the house of David, and on 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 other choir group went in the opposite direction. I followed them, along with half the people, on the wall passing the Tower of the Ovens, on 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 Ephraim Gate, the Jeshanah Gate, the Fish Gate, the Tower of Hananel, and the Tower of the Hundred, as far as the Sheep Gate, stopping at the Guard Gate.
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;
Both thanksgiving choirs then took their places in God's Temple. I followed with the group of leaders that was with me,
41 A me na kahuna; Eliakima, Maaseia, Miniamina, Mikaia, Elioenai, Zekaria, Hanania, me na pu;
along with the priests blowing 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.
Then came the singers Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malchijah, Elam, and Ezer, and the choirs sang, directed by 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.
Many sacrifices were offered that day, celebrating that God had brought them so much happiness, tremendous happiness. The women and children also celebrated, and the sounds of joy in Jerusalem could be heard far away.
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.
On the same day men were put in charge over the storerooms that contained the offerings, the first part of the crops, and tithes. What was allocated by the Law for the priests and Levites was brought into these storerooms from the fields around the towns, because all the people of Judah were happy for the service of the priests and Levites.
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 were responsible for the worship of their God and for the service of purification, along with the singers and gatekeepers, following the instructions of David and his son Solomon.
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, back in the time of David and Asaph, directors had been appointed for the singers and for the songs of praise and thanks 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 time of Zerubbabel and of Nehemiah, everyone in Israel provided the daily food allowances for the singers and the gatekeepers. They also made sure to provide for the other Levites, and the Levites gave a share of this to the descendants of Aaron.
