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

And these are the priests and the Levites that came up with Zerubbabel the son of Shealthiel, and Jeshua': Serayah, Jeremiah, 'Ezra,

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

Sallu, 'Amok, Chilkiyah, Jed'ayah. These were the chiefs of the priests and of their brethren 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, Sherebyah, Judah, and Matthaniah, who was over the songs of thanksgiving, he and his brethren;

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

And Bakbukyah and 'Unni, their brethren, were opposite to them in the watches.

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

And Jeshua' begat Joyakim, and Joyakim begat Elyashib, and Elyashib begat Joyada'.

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

And Joyada' begat Jonathan, and Jonathan begat 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 Joyakim were priests, as chiefs of the divisions: Of Serayah, Merayah; of Jeremiah, Chananyah;

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

Of 'Ezra, Meshullam; of Amaryah, Jehochanan;

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

Of Mellchu, Jonathan; of Shebanyah, Joseph;

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

Of Charim, 'Adna; of Merayoth, Chelkai;

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;

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

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.

Of the Levites in the days of Elyashib, Yoyada', and Yochanan, and Jaddua', are written down the chiefs of the divisions: also those of the priests to the reign of Darius the Persian.

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, the chiefs of the divisions were written down in the book of the chronicles, even until the days of Jochanan the son of Elyashib.

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 were: Chashabyah, Sherebyah, and Jeshua' the son of Kadmiel, with their brethren opposite to them, to praise and to give thanks, according to the command of David the man of God, section by section.

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

Matthanyah, and Bakbukyah, 'Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, 'Akkub, were watching gatekeepers on the watch at the thresholds of the gates.

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 Joyakim, the son of Jeshua', the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor, and of 'Ezra the priest, the expounder.

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 at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought the Levites out of all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem, to celebrate the dedication with joy, with thanksgivings, and with singing, cymbals, psalteries, and with harps.

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

And there gathered themselves together the sons of the singers, both out of the district round about Jerusalem, and from the villages of Netophah;

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

Also from Beth-hagilgal, and out of the fields of Geba' and Azmaveth; for the singers had built themselves villages 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 purified themselves, and then they purified the people, and the gates, 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 brought I up the princes of Judah upon the wall, and stationed two great companies for thanksgiving, and trains to walk on the right hand upon the wall by the dung-gate;

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

And after them walked Hosha'yah, and half of the princes of Judah,

33 dia Azaria sy Ezra sy Mesolama

And 'Azaryah, 'Ezra, and Meshullam,

34 sy Joda sy Benjamina sy Semaia ary Jeremia,

Judah, and Benjamin, and Shema'yah, 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 of the sons of priests' with trumpets, Zechariah the son of Jonathan, the son of Shema'yah, the son of Matthanyah, the son of Michayah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Assaph;

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 brethren, Shema'yah, and 'Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Ma'ai, Nethanel, and Judah, Chanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God; and 'Ezra the expounder walked before them.

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 over 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 as far as the water-gate, eastward.

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 company for thanksgiving that walked in the opposite direction to them, —this one did I follow, and the half of the people upon the wall, from beyond the tower of the ovens even as far as the broad 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 above the gate of Ephraim, and above the old gate, and above the fish-gate, and the tower of Chananel, and the tower of Meah, even as far as the sheep-gate; and they halted at the prison-gate.

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

So did the two companies for thanksgiving place themselves in the house of God, and I, and the half of the rulers with me.

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

And the priests, Elyakim, Ma'asseyah, Minyamin, Michayah, Elyo'enai, Zechariah, and Chananiah, with trumpets;

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 Ma'asseyah, and Shema'yah, and El'azar, and 'Uzzi, and Jehochanan, and Malkiyah, and 'Elam, and 'Ezer. And the singers sang aloud, with Yisrachyah as 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 they sacrificed on that day great sacrifices, and rejoiced; for God had caused them to rejoice with great joy; and also the women and the children rejoiced: so that the [shout of] joy of Jerusalem was heard even at a great distance 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 there were appointed at that day certain men as superintendents over the chambers for the treasuries, for the heave-offerings, for the first-fruits, and for the tithes, to gather into them out of the fields of the cities the portions according to the law for the priests and the Levites; for Judah had joy on the priests and on the Levites that stood there,

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 kept the charge of their God, and the charge of the purification, and as singers and gatekeepers, according to the command of David, [and] of 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 Assaph of old there were chiefs of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving unto 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 the portions of the singers and the gatekeeper, what was required for every day on its day; and they sanctified things for the Levites: and the Levites sanctified [the portion due] for the children of Aaron.
