And at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought the Levites out of all their places, to bring them in to Jerusalem, to make the dedication even with gladness, and with thanksgivings, and with singing, [with] cymbals, psalteries, and with harps;

And the second thanksgiving company that is going over-against, and I after it, and half of the people on the wall from beyond the tower of the furnaces and unto the broad wall,

and Masseiah, and Shemaiah, and Eleazar, and Uzzi, and Jehohanan, and Malchijah, and Elam, and Ezer, and the singers sound, and Jezrahiah the inspector;

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 they sacrifice on that day great sacrifices and rejoice, for God hath made them rejoice [with] great joy, and also, the women and the children have rejoiced, and the joy of Jerusalem is heard — unto a distance.

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.

And certain are appointed on that day over the chambers for treasures, for heave-offerings, for first-fruits, and for tithes, to gather into them out of the fields of the cities the portions of the law for priests, and for Levites, for the joy of Judah [is] over the priests, and over the Levites, who are standing up.

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 the singers and the gatekeepers keep the charge of their God, even the charge of the cleansing — according to the command of 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 of old [were] heads of the singers, and a song of praise and thanksgiving to God.

And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah, are giving the portions of the singers, and of the gatekeepers, the matter of a day in its day, and are sanctifying to the Levites, and the Levites are sanctifying to the sons of Aaron.
