8 Kati na Balevi, ezalaki na Jozue, Binuwi, Kadimieli, Sherebia, Yuda mpe Matania oyo, elongo na baninga na ye ya mosala, azalaki mokambi ya banzembo ya matondi.
And, the Levites, Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, Mattaniah, —over the choirs, he and his brethren;
9 Bakibukia mpe Uni, baninga na bango ya mosala, bazalaki kosala mosala na bango na ngambo mosusu.
and Bakbukiah and Unno their brethren, were over against them, in wards.
10 Jozue abotaki Yoakimi, Yoakimi abotaki Eliashibi, Eliashibi abotaki Yoyada,
And Jeshua, begat Joiakim, —and Joiakim, begat Eliashib, and, Eliashib, [begat] Joiada;
11 Yoyada abotaki Jonatan, Jonatan abotaki Yaduwa.
and, Joiada, begat Jonathan, —and, Jonathan, begat Jaddua.
12 Tala bato oyo bazalaki bakambi ya mabota ya Banganga-Nzambe tango Yoakimi azalaki mokonzi: mpo na libota ya Seraya: Meraya; mpo na libota ya Jeremi: Anania;
And, in the days of Joiakim, were priests, ancestral chiefs, —of Seraiah, Meraiah, of Jeremiah, Hananiah;

22 Na tango ya Eliashibi, Yoyada, Yoanani mpe Yaduwa, bakomaki bakombo ya Balevi oyo bazalaki bakambi ya mabota mpe bakombo ya Banganga-Nzambe na tango ya Dariusi, mokonzi ya Persi.
The Levites—in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, and Johanan, and Jaddua, were recorded as ancestral chiefs, —also the priests, unto the reign of Darius the Persian.
23 Bakomaki bakombo ya bakitani ya Levi oyo bazalaki bakambi ya mabota kino na tango ya Yoanani, mwana mobali ya Eliashibi, kati na buku ya bokoko.
the sons of Levi, ancestral heads, were written in the book of Chronicles, —even until the days of Johanan, son of Eliashib.
24 Tala bato oyo bazalaki bakambi ya Balevi: Ashabia, Sherebia mpe Jozue, mwana mobali ya Kadimieli, mpe baninga na bango ya mosala. Batelemaki boye: bamoko bazalaki kotalana na bamosusu, mpo na kokumisa mpe kosanzola Yawe kolanda mitindo ya Davidi, moto na Nzambe. Soki bamoko batindi mongongo, bamosusu bazalaki kozongisa.
And, the chiefs of the Levites, Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua son of Kadmiel, with their brethren over against them, to praise—to give thanks, by the commandment of David the man of God, —ward joined to ward.
25 Matania, Bakibukia, Abidiasi, Meshulami, Talimoni mpe Akubi, bazalaki bakengeli ya bibombelo oyo ezalaki pene ya bikuke ya Ndako ya Nzambe.
Mattaniah and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub, were watchers, doorkeepers of the ward, in the storehouses of the gates.
26 Bazalaki kosala mosala na bango na tango ya Yoakimi, mwana mobali ya Jozue mpe koko ya Yotsadaki, mpe na tango ya moyangeli Neyemi mpe Esidrasi, molakisi ya Mobeko mpe Nganga-Nzambe.
These, were in the days of Joiakim, son of Jeshua, son of Jozadak, —and in the days of Nehemiah the pasha, and Ezra the priest the scribe.
27 Tango babulisaki mir ya Yelusalemi, babengisaki Balevi na Yelusalemi longwa na bisika oyo bazalaki kovanda, mpo na kosepela na esengo makasi feti ya libulisi na nzela ya banzembo ya kozongisa matondi epai ya Nzambe mpe na nzela ya mindule ya manzanza, ya lindanda mpe ya lire.
And, 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 and the rejoicing, both with thanksgiving and with music, cymbals, harps, and with lyres.
28 Babengisaki lisusu bayembi longwa na etuka oyo ezalaki zingazinga ya Yelusalemi, longwa na bamboka mike-mike ya bato ya Netofa,
So the sons of the singers gathered themselves together, —both out of the circuit round about Jerusalem, and out of the villages of the Netophathites;
29 longwa na Beti-Giligali mpe longwa na etuka ya Geba mpe ya Azimaveti, pamba te bayembi batongaki bamboka na bango ya mike-mike zingazinga ya Yelusalemi.
also out of Beth-gilgal, and out of the fields of Geba, and Azmaveth, —for, villages, had the singers builded for themselves, round about Jerusalem.
30 Tango Banganga-Nzambe mpe Balevi bamipetolaki, bapetolaki mpe bato, bikuke mpe mir.
And the priests and the Levites purified themselves, —and purified the people, and the gates, and the wall.
31 Namatisaki bakambi ya Yuda likolo ya mir mpe nasalaki masanga mibale ya bayembi mpo na kotonda Nzambe. Lisanga ya liboso ezalaki kotambola na likolo ya mir na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali, na nzela ya Ekuke ya Fulu.
Then brought I up the rulers of Judah upon the wall, —and I appointed two large choirs, even to go in procession to the right, upon the wall, towards the dung-gate;
32 Na sima na bango, bato oyo bazalaki kolanda: Oze mpe ndambo ya bakambi ya Yuda,
and after them went Hoshaiah, and half the rulers of Judah;
33 Azaria, Esidrasi, Meshulami,
then Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam;
34 Yuda, Benjame, Shemaya, Jeremi,
Judah, and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah;
35 ndambo ya Banganga-Nzambe oyo bazalaki na bakelelo na bango, Zakari, mwana mobali ya Jonatan, mwana mobali ya Shemaya, mwana mobali ya Matania, mwana mobali ya Mishe, mwana mobali ya Zakuri, mwana mobali ya Azafi;
and, of the sons of the priests, with trumpets, Zechariah—son of Jonathan—son of Shemaiah—son of Mattaniah, son of Micaiah, son of Zaccur, son of Asaph;
36 mpe baninga na ye ya mosala: Shemaya, Azareyeli, Milalayi, Gilalayi, Mayi, Netaneeli, Yuda mpe Anani, oyo bazalaki kobeta bibetelo mindule oyo Davidi, moto na Nzambe, atindaki. Esidrasi, molakisi ya Mobeko, azalaki liboso na bango.
and his brethren—Shemaiah and Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, and Judah, Hanani, with the instruments of music of David, the man of God, —with Ezra the scribe before them;
37 Na Ekuke ya Etima, liboso na bango, bamataki bibutelo oyo ezalaki komema na engumba ya Davidi, na esika oyo bamatelaka na mir, mpe balekaki likolo ya ndako ya Davidi kino na Ekuke ya Mayi, na ngambo ya este.
and, over they fountain gate and straight before them, they went up by the stairs of the city of David, at the going up of the wall, —above the house of David, even as far as the water-gate, eastward.
38 Lisanga ya mibale ya bayembi ezalaki kotambola na nzela ya ngambo ya loboko ya mwasi. Nazalaki kolanda bango na likolo ya mir elongo na ndambo ya bato, longwa na ndako molayi ya Fulu kino na mir ya monene,
And, the second choir, was going over against them, I, following it, —with the half of the people upon the wall, above the tower of the ovens, even as far as the broad wall;
39 na likolo ya Ekuke ya Efrayimi, ya Ekuke ya Yelusalemi, ya Ekuke ya Mbisi, ya ndako molayi, ya Ananeyeli mpe ya ndako molayi ya Meya kino na Ekuke ya Bameme. Basukelaki na Ekuke ya Boloko.
and above the gate of Ephraim, and upon the old gate, and upon the fish-gate, and the tower of Hananel, and the tower of Hammeah, even as far as the sheep-gate, —and they came to a stand, at the gate of the guard.
40 Masanga nyonso mibale ya bayembi, oyo ezalaki kotonda Nzambe ezwaki esika kati na Tempelo ya Nzambe. Nasalaki mpe lolenge moko mpo na kati-kati ya bakambi ya bato
So the two choirs, came to a stand, at the house of God, —and I, and half the deputies with me;
41 mpe mpo na Banganga-Nzambe oyo: Eliakimi, Maaseya, Minyamini, Mishe, Eliowenayi, Zakari mpe Anania oyo bamemaki bakelelo na bango.
and, the priests—Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with trumpets;
42 Ezalaki mpe na Maaseya, Shemaya, Eleazari, Uzi, Yoanani, Malikiya, Elami mpe Ezeri. Masanga ya bayembi ezalaki koyemba na mongongo makasi na bokambami ya Yiziraya.
and Maaseiah and Shemaiah and Eleazar and Uzzi and Jehohanan and Malchijah and Elam and Ezer, —and the musicians sounded, aloud with Jezrahiah who was over them.
43 Na mokolo wana, bato babonzaki bambeka ebele mpe bazalaki na esengo mpo ete Nzambe apesaki bango esengo monene. Bongo ezala basi mpe bana, batondaki na esengo mpe koganga ya esengo ya Yelusalemi ezalaki koyokana kino na mosika.
And they sacrificed, on that day, great sacrifices, and rejoiced, for, God, had caused them to rejoice with great joy, moreover also, the women and children, rejoiced, —so that the rejoicing of Jerusalem was heard afar off.
44 Na tango wana, baponaki mibali mpe bapesaki bango mokumba ya kobatela bibombelo ya makabo, ya bambuma ya liboso mpe ya biteni ya zomi; bapesaki bango mpe mokumba ya kokongola biloko oyo Mobeko ekataki ete ezali mpo na Banganga-Nzambe mpe Balevi, biloko yango esengeli kowuta na bilanga oyo ezingeli bingumba. Solo, bato ya Yuda bazalaki kosepela makasi komona ete Banganga-Nzambe mpe Balevi bazongeli penza mosala na bango,
And there were set in charge, on that day, certain men, over the chambers for the treasures, for the heave-offerings, for the firstfruits, and for the tithes, to gather into them, out of the fields of the cities, the portions appointed by the law, for the priests, and for the Levites, —for, the joy of Judah, was over the priests and over the Levites, who were remaining.
45 bazali kosala mosala ya Nzambe na bango mpe mosala ya kopetola, mpe bayembi elongo na bakengeli bikuke bazali kosala mosala na bango kolanda mitindo ya Davidi mpe ya Salomo, mwana na ye ya mobali.
So they kept the charge of their God, and the charge of the purification, and [so did] the singers and the doorkeepers, —according to the commandment of David and of Solomon his son.
46 Na tango ya Davidi mpe ya Azafi, ezalaki na bakambi ya babeti mindule mpe ya banzembo mpo na kokumisa mpe kozongisa matondi epai ya Nzambe.
For, in the days of David and Asaph, of old, there were chiefs of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving, unto God.
47 Na tango ya Zorobabeli mpe ya Neyemi, bato nyonso ya Isalaele bazalaki kopesa, mikolo nyonso, biloko oyo ekatama mpo na babeti mindule mpe bakengeli bikuke; bazalaki mpe kopesa biloko ya bule epai ya Balevi, bongo Balevi mpe, na ngambo na bango, bazalaki kopesa biloko ya bule epai ya bakitani ya Aron.
Now, all Israel—in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah, used to give the portions of the singers and the doorkeepers, the need of a day upon its day, —and they hallowed them unto the Levites, and, the Levites, hallowed them unto the sons of Aaron.
