The Levites in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, and Johanan, and Jaddua, were listed as heads of families; and the priests, when Darius the Persian was king.

23 Tusruktu, inen sifen sou lun mwet Levi tuh filiyuki in ma simusla fulat nwe ke na pacl lal Jonathan, wen nutin natul Eliashib.

The sons of Levi, heads of families, were recorded in the book of the histories, even till the days of Johanan, the son of Eliashib.

24 Ye kolyuk lal Hashabiah, Sherebiah, Jeshua, Binnui, ac Kadmiel, mwet Levi elos kitakatelik nu ke u. Kais luo u elos oru on in asupangi in kaksakin God ac sang kulo nu sel, fal nu ke oakwuk ma tuh orekla sel Tokosra David, mwet lun God.

And the chiefs of the Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua, the son of Kadmiel, with their brothers opposite them, to give blessing and praise as ordered by David, the man of God, watch against watch.

25 Pa inge inen mwet topang ke mutunpot lun Tempul su liyaung infukil in filma sisken mutunpot lun Tempul: Mattaniah, Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, ac Akkub.

Mattaniah, and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub, were door-keepers keeping the watch at the store-houses of the doors.

26 Mwet inge moul in pacl lal Joiakim, wen natul Joshua, wen natul Jehozadak, ac in pacl sac Nehemiah el governor, ac Ezra, mwet sasla ke Ma Sap, el mwet tol.

These were in the days of Joiakim, the son of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the ruler and of Ezra the priest, the scribe.

27 Ke pacl se pot lun siti Jerusalem kisaiyukla, utukeni mwet Levi liki acn nukewa elos muta we, tuh elos in wi akfulatye len in kisa ke pusren on in sang kulo oayapa ke pusren cymbal ac harp.

And when the time came for the wall of Jerusalem to be made holy, they sent for the Levites out of all their places to come to Jerusalem, to keep the feast with joy, and with praise and melody, with brass and corded instruments of music.

28 Sou in on lun mwet Levi elos fahsreni liki acn elos oakwuk we rauneak Jerusalem, ac liki inkul ma rauneak acn Netophah,

And the sons of the music-makers came together from the lowland round about Jerusalem and from the daughter-towns of the Netophathites,

29 oayapa liki Bethgilgal, Geba, ac Azmaveth.

And from Beth-gilgal and from the fields of Geba and Azmaveth: for the music-makers had made daughter-towns for themselves round about Jerusalem.

30 Mwet tol ac mwet Levi elos aknasnasyalos sifacna, oayapa elos aknasnasye mwet uh, mutunoa uh, ac pot lun siti uh, fal nu ke oakwuk lun alu lalos.

And the priests and the Levites made themselves clean; and they made the people clean, and the doorways and the wall.

31 Nga pangoneni mwet kol lun Judah nu fin pot uh, ac sap tuh elos in kol u lulap luo in fahsr rauni siti uh, ac sang kulo nu sin God. U se meet ut layen layot fin pot uh ac fahsr nu ke Mutunpot Kutkut.

Then I made the rulers of Judah come up on the wall, and I put in position two great bands of them who gave praise, walking in ordered lines; one went to the right on the wall, in the direction of the doorway where the waste was put;

32 Hoshaiah el fahsr tukun mwet on, ac tafu mwet kol lun Judah fahsr tokol.

And after them went Hoshaiah and half of the rulers of Judah,

33 Mwet tol Azariah, Ezra, Meshullam,

And Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam,

34 Judah, Benjamin, Shemaiah, ac Jeremiah,

Judah and Benjamin and Shemaiah and Jeremiah,

35 elos fahsr tokolos ac uk mwe ukuk. Na Zechariah, wen natul Jonathan, wen natul Shemaiah, wen natul Mattaniah, wen natul Micaiah, wen natul Zaccur in sou lun Asaph,

And certain of the priests' sons with wind instruments; Zechariah, the son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Micaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph,

36 oayapa mwet wial inge: Shemaiah, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, Judah, ac Hanani, elos nukewa us kain in mwe on ma Tokosra David, mwet lun God, el tuh sritalkin. Ezra, mwet sasla ke Ma Sap, el fahsr meet liki u se inge ke elos takla fahsr.

And his brothers, Shemaiah, and Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel and Judah, Hanani, with the music-instruments of David, the man of God; and Ezra the scribe was at their head;

37 Sisken Mutunpot Unon elos fanyak ke step ma utyak nu ke Siti sel David, aliki inkul fulat sel Tokosra David, ac folok nu ke kalkal sisken Mutunpot Kof, layen kutulap ke siti ah.

And by the doorway of the fountain and straight in front of them, they went up by the steps of the town of David, at the slope up of the wall, over the house of David, as far as the water-doorway to the east.

38 U se akluo sin mwet su fahsr ac sang kulo elos ut layen lasa fin pot uh, ac nga fahsr tokolos wi tafu mwet uh. Kut takla fahsr alukela Tower lun Funyu nu ke Pot Sralap,

And the other band of those who gave praise went to the left, and I went after them with half the people, on the wall, over the tower of the ovens, as far as the wide wall;

39 ac liki acn sac kut fahsr alukela Mutunpot Ephraim, Mutunpot Jeshanah, Mutunpot Ik, Tower lun Hananel, ac Tower lun Foko, nu ke Mutunpot Sheep. Kut aksafye fahsr lasr apkuran nu ke mutunpot nu ke Tempul.

And over the doorway of Ephraim and by the old door and the fish door and the tower of Hananel and the tower of Hammeah, as far as the sheep door: and at the doorway of the watchmen they came to a stop.

40 Ou inge u luo kewa su sang kulo nu sin God elos sun acn ma Tempul oan we. Sayen mwet kol su wiyu,

So the two bands of those who gave praise took up their positions in the house of God, and I and half of the chiefs with me:

41 oasr pac mwet tol ke u se luk inge, su uk mwe ukuk: Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, ac Hananiah;

And the priests; Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with wind instruments;

42 na mwet fahsr tokolos pa Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malchijah, Elam, ac Ezer. Mwet on elos on ke pusra lulap, ac Jezrahiah el mwet kol lalos.

And Maaseiah and Shemaiah and Eleazar and Uzzi and Jehohanan and Malchijah and Elam and Ezer. And the makers of melody made their voices loud, with Jezrahiah their overseer.

43 Ke len sac, mwet uh kisakin mwe kisa puspis, ac elos sessesla ke engan mweyen God El oru tuh elos in arulana engan. Mutan ac tulik elos wi pac akfulat, ac pusren mwet nukewa arulana yohk, ku in lohngyuk oe yen loessula.

And on that day they made great offerings and were glad; for God had made them glad with great joy; and the women and the children were glad with them: so that the joy of Jerusalem came to the ears of those who were far off.

44 In pacl sac itukyang kutu mukul in fosrngakin infukil in filma, yen mwe sang ma orekeni lun Tempul karinginyuk we, weang sie tafu singoul in mwe kosrani lalos, ac fahko se meet ke kais sie yac ke wheat ac fokinsak. Ma kunen mukul inge in eisani ma orekeni nu sin mwet tol ac mwet Levi, liki ima in kais sie siti, fal nu ke ma oakwuki in Ma Sap. Mwet Judah nukewa elos insewowo ke mwet tol ac mwet Levi,

And on that day certain men were put over the rooms where the things which had been given were stored, for the lifted offerings and the first-fruits and the tenths, and to take into them the amounts, from the fields of every town, fixed by the law for the priests and the Levites: for Judah was glad on account of the priests and the Levites who were in their places.

45 mweyen elos orala alu in aknasnas ac oakwuk saya ke alu lalos su God El sapkin. Mwet on lun Tempul ac mwet karingin mutunpot lun Tempul elos oayapa orala ma kunalos fal nu ke oakwuk orekla sel Tokosra David ac Solomon, wen natul.

And they kept the watch of their God, and were responsible for making things clean, and so did the music-makers and the door-keepers, as it was ordered by David and Solomon his son.

46 Mutawauk oe in pacl lal Tokosra David ac Asaph, oasr mwet in kol on in kaksak ac sang kulo nu sin God.

For in the days of David and Asaph in the past, there was a master of the music, and songs of blessing and praise to God.

47 In pacl lal Zerubbabel ac oayapa pacl lal Nehemiah, mwet Israel nukewa sang mwe lung ke kais sie len in mwe kasru nu sin mwet on ac mwet karingin mutunpot lun Tempul. Mwet uh sang mwe sang mutal nu sin mwet Levi, ac mwet Levi elos sang ip ma oakwuki tuh in ma lun mwet tol.

And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel and in the days of Nehemiah gave what was needed by the music-makers and the door-keepers day by day: and they made the offerings holy for the Levites; and the Levites did the same for the sons of Aaron.
