Nehemia 12

1 Ary ny mpisorona sy ny Levita izay niara-niakatra tamin’ i Zerobabela, zanak’ i Sealtiela, sy Jesoa dia Seraia, Jeremia, Ezra,

Now these are the priests and the Levites who went up with Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua: Seraiah, Jeremiah, Ezra,

2 Amaria, Maloka, Hatosy,

Amariah, Malluch, Hattush,

Mijamin, Maadiah, Bilgah,

6 Semaia, Joiariba, Jedaia,

Shemaiah, and Joiarib, Jedaiah,

7 Salo, Amoka, Hilkia ary Jedaia. Ireo no lohan’ ny mpisorona sy ny rahalahiny tamin’ ny andron’ i Jesoa.

Sallu, Amok, Hilkiah, Jedaiah. These were the chiefs of the priests and of their brothers in the days of Jeshua.

8 Ary ny Levita kosa dia izao: Jesoa, Binoy, Kadmiela, Serebia, Joda ary Matania, dia izy ireo sy ny rahalahiny no tonian’ ny fiderana.

And the Levites: Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, and Mattaniah, who was over the music-makers, he and his brothers.

9 Ary Bakbokia sy Ono, rahalahin’ ireo, dia nifanandrify tamin’ ny anjara-raharahany.

And Bakbukiah and Unno, their brothers, were opposite them in their watches.

10 Ary Jesoa niteraka an’ i Joiakima; ary Joiakima niteraka an’ i Eliasiba; ary Eliasiba niteraka an’ i Joiada;

And Jeshua was the father of Joiakim, and Joiakim was the father of Eliashib, and Eliashib was the father of Joiada,

11 ary Joiada niteraka an’ i Jonatana; ary Jonatana niteraka an’ i Jadoa.

And Joiada was the father of Jonathan, and Jonathan was the father of Jaddua.

12 Ary tamin’ ny andron’ i Joiakima dia nisy mpisorona, lohan’ ny fianakaviana, dia izao: Ny avy tamin’ i Seraia dia Meraia; ny avy tamin’ i Jeremia dia Hanania;

And in the days of Joiakim there were priests, heads of families: of Seraiah, Meraiah; of Jeremiah, Hananiah;

13 ny avy tamin’ i Ezra dia Mesolama; ny avy tamin’ i Amaria dia Johanana;

Of Ezra, Meshullam; of Amariah, Jehohanan;

14 ny avy tamin’ i Meliko dia Jonatana; ny avy tamin’ i Sebania dia Josefa;

Of Malluchi, Jonathan; of Shebaniah, Joseph;

15 ny avy tamin’ i Hadma dia Adna; ny avy tamin’ i Meraiota dia Helkay;

Of Harim, Adna; of Meraioth, Helkai;

16 ny avy tamin’ Ido dia Zakaria; ny avy tamin’ i Ginetona dia Mesolama;

Of Iddo, Zechariah; of Ginnethon, Meshullam;

17 ny avy tamin’ i Abia dia Zikry; ny avy tamin’ i Miniamina, avy tamin’ i Moadia, dia Piltahy;

Of Abijah, Zichri; of Miniamin, of Moadiah, Piltai;

18 ny avy tamin’ i Bilga dia Samoa; ny avy tamin’ i Semaia dia Jonatana;

Of Bilgah, Shammua; of Shemaiah, Jehonathan;

19 ny avy tamin’ i Joariba dia Matenay; ny avy tamin’ i Jedaia dia Ozy;

21 ny avy tamin’ i Hilkia dia Hasabia; ny avy tamin’ i Jedaia dia Netanela.

Of Hilkiah, Hashabiah; of Jedaiah, Nethanel.

22 Tamin’ ny andron’ i Eliasiba sy Joiada sy Johanana ary Jadoa ny Levita dia voasoratra ho lohan’ ny fianakaviany; ary toy izany koa ny mpisorona, hatramin’ ny nanjakan’ i Dariosy Persiana.

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 Ny taranak’ i Levy, lohan’ ny fianakaviana, dia voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny tantara hatramin’ ny andron’ i Johanana, zanak’ i Eliasiba.

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 Ary ny lohan’ ny Levita dia Hasabia sy Serebia sy Jesoa, zanak’ i Kadmiela, mbamin’ ny rahalahin’ ireo izay nifanandrify taminy, mba hidera sy hisaotra araka ny didin’ i Davida, lehilahin’ Andriamanitra, nifanandrify isan-tokony.

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 Matania, Bakbokia, Obadia, Mesolama, Talmona sy Akoba no mpiandry varavarana ka nitandrina ny fiambenana amin’ ny trano firaketana.

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

26 Ireo no tamin’ ny andron’ i Joiakima, zanak’ i Jesoa, zanak’ i Jozadaka, sy tamin’ ny andron’ i Nehemia governora sy Ezra mpisorona sady mpanora-dalàna.

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 Ary rehefa hitokanana ny mandan’ i Jerosalema, dia nitady ny Levita avy tamin’ ny fonenany rehetra izy mba ho entina any Jerosalema hanao ny fitokanana amin’ ny fifaliana sy ny fiderana ary ny hira mbamin’ ny kipantsona sy ny valiha ary ny lokanga.

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 Dia niangona ny mpihira avy tamin’ ny tany lemaka manodidina an’ i Jerosalema sy ny avy tamin’ ny vohitry ny Netofatita

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

29 sy Beti-gilgala ary ny sahan’ i Geba sy Azmaveta; fa efa nanao vohitra ho azy manodidina an’ i Jerosalema ny mpihira.

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 Ary ny mpisorona sy ny Levita samy nanadio ny tenany, ary nodioviny koa ny olona sy ny vavahady ary ny manda.

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

31 Dia nasaiko niakatra eo ambonin’ ny manda ny mpanapaka ny Joda, ary nanendry mpanao fiderana roa tonta aho handeha milahatra tsara. Ny irai-dia nandeha tamin’ ny ankavanana teo ambonin’ ny manda ho amin’ ny vavahadin-jezika;

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 ary nandeha nanarakaraka azy Hosaia sy ny antsasaky ny andriandahin’ ny Joda,

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

33 dia Azaria sy Ezra sy Mesolama

And Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam,

34 sy Joda sy Benjamina sy Semaia ary Jeremia,

Judah and Benjamin and Shemaiah and Jeremiah,

35 ary ny sasany tamin’ ny taranaky ny mpisorona nitondra trompetra, dia Zakaria, zanak’ i Jonatana, zanak’ i Semaia, zanak’ i Matania, zanak’ i Mikaia, zanak’ i Zakora, zanak’ i Asafa,

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 mbamin’ ny rahalahiny, dia Semaia sy Azarela, Milalay, Gilalay, May, Netanela sy Joda ary Hanany, nitondra ny zava-manenon’ i Davida, lehilahin’ Andriamanitra; ary Ezra mpanora-dalàna nandeha teo alohan’ ireo.

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 Ary hatreo amin’ ny vavahadin-doharano dia nizotra izy ka niakatra tamin’ ny ambaratongan’ ny Tanànan’ i Davida, tamin’ ny fiakarana amin’ ny manda eo ambonin’ ny tranon’ i Davida ka hatramin’ ny vavahadin-drano eo atsinanana.

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 Ary ny mpanao fiderana irai-dia kosa dia nandeha nifanandrify taminy sady narahiko sy ny antsasaky ny olona teo ambonin’ ny manda hatreo ambonin’ ny tilikambo misy ny fatana fandoroana ka hatramin’ ny manda lehibe,

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 ary hatreo ambonin’ ny vavahadin’ i Efraima ay teo ambanin’ ny vavahady taloha ary teo ambonin’ ny vavahadin-kazandrano sy ny tilikambo Hananela sy ny tilikambo Hamea, dia hatramin’ ny vavahadin’ ondry; ary nilanona teo amin’ ny vavahadin-trano-maizina izy.

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 Dia nijanona tao an-tranon’ Andriamanitra izy roa tonta, ary izaho koa sy ny antsasaky ny mpanapaka izay niaraka tamiko

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 ary ny mpisorona, dia Eliakima, Mahaseia, Miniamina, Mikaia, Elioenay, Zakaria ary Hanania, nitondra trompetra,

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

42 ary Mahaseia sy Semaia sy Eleazara sy Ozy sy Johanana sy Malkia sy Elama ary Ezera. Ary nihira mafy ny mpihira sy Jizrahia, mpifehy azy.

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 Dia namono zavatra betsaka hatao fanatitra tamin’ izany andro izany izy sady nifaly, fa Andriamanitra nampifaly azy indrindra; ary ny vadiny aman-janany nifaly koa; ka dia re lavitra ny fifaliana tany Jerosalema.

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 Ary tamin’ izany andro izany dia nisy olona notendrena hitandrina ny efi-trano fitehirizana ny rakitra sy ny fanatitra asandratra sy ny voaloham-bokatra ary ny fahafolon-karena, mba hangonina ao izay anjara voadidy ho an’ ny mpisorona sy ny Levita avy amin’ ny saha manodidina ny isan-tanana; fa nifalian’ ny Joda ireo mpisorona sy Levita izay nanompo ireo.

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 Dia nitandrina izay nasaina hotandremany ny amin’ Andriamaniny sy ny amin’ ny fanadiovana izy; ary toy izany koa ny mpihira sy ny mpiandry varavarana, araka ny didin’ i Davida sy Solomona zanany.

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 Fa fahiny tamin’ ny andron’ i Davida sy Asafa aza dia efa nisy lohan’ ny mpihira sy hira fiderana ary fisaorana an’ Andriamanitra.

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 Ary ny Isiraely rehetra tamin’ ny andron’ i Zerobabela sy Nehemia nanome ny anaran’ ny mpihira sy ny mpiandry varavarana, dia ny anjarany isan’ andro; ary nanokana izay ho an’ ny Levita izy; ary ny Levita kosa nanokana izay ho an’ ny taranak’ i Arona.

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.
