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 Hagi Livae nagate'ma ugotama hu'naza kva vahe'mokizmi zamagia, zamagi zamagenkema krenentaza avontafepi krenteme neazageno eno, Eliasibi nagapinti pristi ne' Johanani'ma fria knare emetre'ne.

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.

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 Hanki Mataniaki, Bakbukiaki, Obadiaki, Mesulamuki, Talmoni'ene Akubuki hu'za kuma kafantera fenozama nentaza nontaminte kegava hu'naze.

They were joined by Mattaniah, Bakbukiah, and Obadiah. Meshullam, Talmon, and Akkub were gatekeepers who guarded the storehouses at the gates.

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 Hagi Jerusalemi kuma keginama nunamu hu'za Anumzamofoma amiza zupa, musenkase nehu'za nasenasepane laeriema nehaza zavenaramine, hapuema nehaza zavenaramine nehe'za, muse zagame hihogu maka Juda mopafima mani'naza Livae nagara ke hazage'za Jerusalemi e'naze.

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 Ana zanke hu'za Jerusalemi kuma tvaonte'ma megagi'nea kumatamimpinti'ma zagame'ma hu Livae vahe'ma e'nazana, Netofa vahe'mokizmi kuma'ma,

The singers were also brought in from the area around Jerusalem and from the villages of the Netophathites,

29 Bet-Gilgali kuma'ene, Geba kuma'ene Azmaveti kumatamimpinti e'naze. Na'ankure zagamema hu vahe'mo'za zamagra Jerusalemi kuma tva'onte nonkumara ante'za mani'nagu anara hu'naze.

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 Hagi pristi vahe'mo'zane Livae naga'mo'zama zamagra'a zamazeri agruma hute'za vahe'zagane kuma kafaramine, kuma keginanena zamazeri agru hu'naze.

Once the priests and the Levites had purified themselves, they purified the people, the gates, and the wall.

31 Hagi nagra Nehemaia'na kva nagara, kuma keginamofo agofetu zamazeri atru hute'na, Ra Anumzamofontegama muse zagamema hu'za agima hentesgama hanaza vahera tarefi refko hu'noe. Hagi ana hutogeno mago kevumo'a nazantmaga kaziga kegina agofetu vu'za Kumapinti zama harafima hu'zama ome atre kafanema nehaza kafante vu'naze.

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 Hagi Hosaia'ene amu'nompinti Juda kva vahera refko hu'ne'za, ana vahe zamefira vu'naze.

Hoshaiah and half the leaders of Judah followed them,

33 Hagi ana zamage'ma pristi naga'ma vu'nazana, Azaria'ma, Ezra'ma, Mesulamu'ma,

with Azariah, Ezra, Meshullam,

34 Juda'ma, Benzamini'ma, Semaia'ma, Jeremaiaki hu'za nevu'za,

Judah, Benjamin, Shemaiah, and Jeremiah,

35 ana maka'mo'za ufe re'za vu'naze. Ana zamefira mago'a pristi vahe'mo'zane, Jonatani nemofo Zekaraia'ene, Simei negehoza, Mataniaki, Mikaiaki, Zakuriki, Asapu nagapinti ne' Jekaraia'ene,

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 mago'a agri nagapinti vahe'ene vu'nazankino, ana vahe'mokizmi zamagi'a, Semaia'ma, Azareli'ma, Milalai'ma, Gilalai'ma, Ma'aima, Netaneli'ma, Juda'ene Hananiki hu'za vu'naze. Ana nehu'za Anumzamofo eri'za ne' Deviti'ma ahe'nea zavenaraminteti nehe'za, kasegema rempi hunezamia ne' Ezra ugota hige'za amefi vu'naze.

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 Hagi anante Tinkapu'i kafane nehaza rankafante uhanatite'za, latama hunte'nare mareri'za, Deviti rankumapi marerite'za, kini ne'mofo nona agatere'za vu'naze. Ana hute'za Jerusalemi kumamofo kuma keginarega ete vu'za, zage hanati kaziga Tima Afi kafanema nehaza rankafante uhanati'naze.

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 Hagi zagame'ma hu vahe'ma refko'ma hutre'naza nampa 2 kevu vahe'mo'za, rukrahe hu'za kuma keginamofo agofetu nevazage'na, nagra zamefi vu'noe. Ana nehuge'za mago'a nena azageta avenima me'nea zaza nona agatereta vuta Tusizankna Keginema nehazare uhanati'none.

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 Anantetira Efraemi Rankafanema nehazare vuteta, anantetira Jesana kafane huge korapa kafanema nehaza rankafante vuteta, anantetira Nozame kafante vuteta, anantetira Hananeli za'za nonte vuteta, anantetira 100'a sondia vahe'ma nemaniza za'za nonte eteta, evava huta Sipisipi Kafanema nehaza kafante eteta, evava huta kegavama hu kafanema nehaza kafante ehanati'none.

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 Hagi zamagra ana tare kevu vahe'ma, muse hu'za zagamema nehaza vahe'mo'za, Anumzamofo mono nompi umani'naze. Hige'za kva vahetamimo'za tarefi refko hune'za mago kevumo'za nagrane mani'naze.

Both thanksgiving choirs then took their places in God's Temple. I followed with the group of leaders that was with me,

41 Hagi anampima mago'ama mani'naza pristi vahera, Eliakimiki, Ma'aseiaki Miniaminiki, Mikaiaki, Elioenaiki Zekaraia'ene Hananiama hu'za anampina ufena re'naze.

along with the priests blowing their trumpets: Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah.

42 Hanki Ma'aseia'ma, Simaia'ma, Eleazari'ma, Uzzi'ma, Jehohanani'ma, Malkija'ma, Elamu'ene Ezeriki hu'za anante oti'nazageno, Jezrahia'a ugota huzmantege'za zagamera hu'naze.

Then came the singers Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malchijah, Elam, and Ezer, and the choirs sang, directed by Jezrahiah.

43 Ana hu'neankino ana zupa tusi'a Kresramana vu ofa nehu'za, tusi musenkase hu'naze. Na'ankure Anumzamo ra muse'za zamige'za anara hu'naze. A'nene mofavre zagamo'za zamagranena tusi muse hu'naze. Ana nehazage'za Jerusalemi kumapima musenkasema hazazamofo agasasana, afete'ma mani'naza vahe'mo'zanena antahi'naze.

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 Hanki ofama hanaza zantamine hoza'zamifinti ese ne'zama hamaresaza ne'zane 10nima hania kevuma eri'za Anumzamofoma eme ami'naza zantaminema antesaza nonte'ma kegava hanaza vene'nea ana kna zupa huhampri zamante'naze. Hagi venenemo'za kuma tvaonte'ma me'nesia mopafima antesaza hozafintira kasegemo'ma pristi vahe'ene Livae naga'ma zamihoma huno'ma hu'ne'nia avamente, pristi vahe'ene Livae nagamokizmi su'za ana nompina erita ome antegahaze. Hige'za ana maka Juda naga'mo'za pristi vahe'ene Livae nagakura muse hunezmante'za, eri'za zamigu'enena tusi muse hu'naze.

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 Hanki pristi vahe'mo'zane, Livae naga'mo'za Anumzazamimofo eri'zana eneri'za, vahe'ma zamazeri agruhu eri'zanena enerizage'za, zagame'ma hu vahe'mo'zane mono no kafante'ma kvama hu vahe'mo'za zamagranena ana zanke hu'za, Deviti'ene ne'mofo ne' Solomonike'ma hu'na'a kante ante'za eri'za zamia eri'naze.

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 Hanki korapara Devitike Asapukema mani'na'a knafina, Anumzamofontegama muse zagame'ma huno agima hentesgama hu vahe'ma kegavama hu vahera kora mani'nazane.

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 Hagi Zerubabeli'ene Nehemaiakema mani'na'a knafina, mago mago zupa Israeli vahe'mo'za zamazankakuti ne'zana eri'za zagamema hu vahe'ene mono nonkafante'ma kvama hu vahera eme zamitere hu'naze. Ana hazage'za ana ne'zantamina Livae naga'moza refko hu'neza, Aroni naga'ma pristi eri'zama eneriza vahera zami'naze.

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.
