The Levites were Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, and Mattaniah, who was in charge of the thanksgiving songs, along with his associates.
9 Ary Bakbokia sy Ono, rahalahin’ ireo, dia nifanandrify tamin’ ny anjara-raharahany.

In the days of Joiakim these were the priests, the leaders of the families: Meraiah was the leader of Seraiah, Hananiah was the leader of Jeremiah,

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.
In the days of Eliashib, the Levites Eliashib, Joiada, Johanan, and Jaddua were recorded as the heads of families, and the priests were recorded during 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 descendants of Levi, their leaders of families were recorded in the book of the annals up to the days of Johanan 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.
The leaders of the Levites were Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua son of Kadmiel, with their associates, who stood opposite them to give praise and to give thanks, responding section by section, in obedience to the command of David, the man of God.
25 Matania, Bakbokia, Obadia, Mesolama, Talmona sy Akoba no mpiandry varavarana ka nitandrina ny fiambenana amin’ ny trano firaketana.
Mattaniah, Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, and Akkub were gatekeepers standing guard at the storerooms by 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.
They served in the days of Joiakim son of Jeshua son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor and of Ezra the priest and 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.
At the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem, the people sought out the Levites wherever they lived, to bring them to Jerusalem to celebrate the dedication with joy, with thanksgivings and singing with cymbals, harps, and with lyres.
28 Dia niangona ny mpihira avy tamin’ ny tany lemaka manodidina an’ i Jerosalema sy ny avy tamin’ ny vohitry ny Netofatita
The fellowship of singers gathered together from the district around Jerusalem and from the villages 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.
They also came from Beth Gilgal and from the fields of Geba and Azmaveth, for the singers had built for themselves villages around Jerusalem.
30 Ary ny mpisorona sy ny Levita samy nanadio ny tenany, ary nodioviny koa ny olona sy ny vavahady ary ny manda.
The priests and the Levites purified themselves, and then they purified the people, 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 I had the leaders of Judah go up to the top of the wall, and I appointed two large choirs who gave thanks. One went to the right on the wall toward the Dung Gate.
32 ary nandeha nanarakaraka azy Hosaia sy ny antsasaky ny andriandahin’ ny Joda,
Hoshaiah and half the leaders of Judah followed them,
33 dia Azaria sy Ezra sy Mesolama
and after them went Azariah, Ezra, Meshullam,
34 sy Joda sy Benjamina sy Semaia ary Jeremia,
Judah, Benjamin, Shemaiah, 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 some of the priests' sons with trumpets, and Zechariah son of Jonathan son of Shemaiah son of Mattaniah son of Micaiah son of Zaccur 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.
There also were Zechariah's relatives, Shemaiah, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, Judah, Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God. Ezra the scribe was in front of 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.
By the Fountain Gate they went straight up on the stairs of the city of David, by the stairway to the wall above David's palace, to the Water Gate on 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,
The other choir of those who gave thanks went in the other direction. I followed them on the wall with half the people, above the Tower of Ovens, to 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 by the Old Gate, and by the Fish Gate and the Tower of Hananel and the Tower of the Hundred, to the Sheep Gate, and they stopped at the Gate of the Guard.
40 Dia nijanona tao an-tranon’ Andriamanitra izy roa tonta, ary izaho koa sy ny antsasaky ny mpanapaka izay niaraka tamiko
So both choirs of those who gave thanks took their place in the house of God, and I also took my place with half of the officials with me.
41 ary ny mpisorona, dia Eliakima, Mahaseia, Miniamina, Mikaia, Elioenay, Zakaria ary Hanania, nitondra trompetra,
Then the priests took their place: Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with the 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 also Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malchijah, Elam, and Ezer, and the singers made themselves heard and Jezrahiah was their leader.
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.
They offered great sacrifices that day, and rejoiced, for God had made them rejoice with great joy. Also the women and the children rejoiced. So the joy of Jerusalem could be heard far away.
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.
On that day men were appointed to be in charge of the storerooms for the contributions, the firstfruits, and the tithes, to gather into them the portions required by the law for the priests and for the Levites. Each was assigned to work the fields near the towns. For Judah rejoiced over the priests and the Levites who were standing before them.
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.
They performed the service of their God, and the service of purification, and so did the singers and the gatekeepers, in keeping with 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 long ago, in the days of David and Asaph, there were directors of singers, and there were songs of praise and thanksgiving 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.
In the days of Zerubbabel and in the days of Nehemiah, all Israel gave the daily portions for the singers and the gatekeepers. They set aside the portion that was for the Levites, and the Levites set aside a portion for the descendants of Aaron.
