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 governor, and of Ezra the cohen 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.

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 with gladness, both with giving thanks, and with singing, with cymbals, stringed instruments, and with harps.

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

The sons of the singers gathered themselves together, both out of the plain around Jerusalem, and from the villages of the Netophathites;

29 oayapa liki Bethgilgal, Geba, ac Azmaveth.

also from Beth Gilgal, and out of the fields of Geba and Azmaveth: for the singers had built them villages around 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.

The cohanim and the Levites purified themselves; and they purified the people, and the gates, 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 brought up the leaders of Judah onto the wall, and appointed two great companies who gave thanks and went in procession. One went on the right hand on the wall toward the Dung Gate;

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

and his brothers, Shemaiah, and Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, and Judah, Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God; and Ezra the scribe was before them.

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.

By the Fountain Gate, and straight before them, they went up by the stairs of the City of David, at the ascent of the wall, above the house of David, even to the Water Gate eastward.

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,

The other company of those who gave thanks went to meet them, and I after them, with the half of the people, on the wall, above the Tower of the Ovens, to the Broad 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 above the Ephraim Gate, and by the Jeshanah Gate, and by the Fish Gate, and the Tower of Hananel, and the Tower of the Hundred, and as far as the Sheep Gate. And they stood still in the Gate of the Guard.

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 stood the two companies of those who gave thanks in God's house, and I, and the half of the rulers 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 cohanim, Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with trumpets;

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. The singers sang 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.

They offered great sacrifices that day, and rejoiced; for God had made them rejoice with great joy; and the women also and the children rejoiced: so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard even afar 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,

On that day men were appointed over the storerooms, for the contributions, the first fruits, and the tithes, to gather into them from the fields of the cities the portions appointed by the law for the cohanim and Levites, for Judah rejoiced over the cohanim and the Levites who ministered.

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.

They performed the duty of their God, and the duty of the purification, and so did the singers and the gatekeepers, according to the commandment of David, and of 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 long ago in the days of David and Asaph there were directors of the singers and songs of praise and thanksgiving 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.

All Israel in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah, gave the portions of the singers and the gatekeepers, as every day required: and they set apart that which was for the Levites; and the Levites set apart that which was for the sons of Aaron.
