As for the Levites, in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, and Johanan, and Jaddua, there were recorded the heads of fathers' households; also the cohanim, in the reign of Daryavesh the Persian.
23 Sinokitse amy boken-taliliy pak’ añ’ andro’ Iokanane ana’ i Eliasibe o ana’ i Levy, mpiaolon’ anjomban-droaeo.
The sons of Levi, heads of fathers' households, were written in the scroll of the chronicles, even until the days of Johanan the son of Eliashib.
24 Le o mpiaolo nte-Levio: i Kasabià, i Serebià, Iesòa, ana’ i Kadmiele, mitraok’ amo rahalahi’e nifanandrife am’ iareoo, handrenge naho hañandriañe, ty amy lili’ i Davide ‘ndatin’ Añaharey, firimboñañe miatre-pirimboñañe.
The chiefs of the Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua the son of Kadmiel, with their brothers over against them, to praise and give thanks, according to the commandment of David the man of God, watch next to watch.
25 Nimpañambem-pizilihañe nitam-pijilovañe añ’ efem-pañaja’ o lalambei’eo t’i Matanià naho i Bakbokià, i Obadia, i Mesolame, i Talmone vaho i Akobe.
Mattaniah, and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub, were gatekeepers keeping the watch at the storehouses of the gates.
26 Tañ’andro’ Ioiakime ana’ Iesòa, ana’ Iotsadake naho tañ’ andro’ i Nekemià mpifehe vaho i Ezra mpisoroñe, mpanokitse, irezay.
These were in the days of Joiakim the son of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor, and of Ezra the cohen the scribe.
27 Ie tamy fañorizañe i kijoli’ Ierosalaimeiy, le nitsoehe’ iareo an-toe’ iareo iaby o nte-Levio hitaoñe iareo mb’e Ierosalaime, hitañe i fañorizañey am-pirebehañe naho fañandriañañe naho fisaboañe, am-pikorintsañe naho jejobory vaho marovany.
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 with gladness, both with giving thanks, and with singing, with cymbals, stringed instruments, and with harps.
28 Aa le nifanontoñe boak’ am-paripari’ Ierosalaime ey naho boak’ amo tanàm-pitoroñe añ’anjombao o anam-pisaboo;
The sons of the singers gathered themselves together, both out of the plain around Jerusalem, and from the villages of the Netophathites;
29 naho boak’e Bete-gilgale vaho boak’ an-tete’ i Gebà naho i Atsmavete ao; fa namboatse tanañe mañohoke Ierosalaime o mpisaboo.
also from Beth Gilgal, and out of the fields of Geba and Azmaveth: for the singers had built them villages around Jerusalem.
30 Le nañefe-batañe o mpisoroñeo naho o nte-Levio; le nefera’ iereo ondatio naho o lalambeio vaho i kijoliy.
The cohanim and the Levites purified themselves; and they purified the people, and the gates, and the wall.
31 Le nendeseko mb’ ambone’ i kijoliy mb’eo o mpiaolo’ Iehodao, le nanendreako firimboñam-pisabo jabajaba roe, ty valoha’e hionjomb’ an-kavana ambone’ i kijoliy mb’ an-dalambeim-porompotse mb’eo;
Then I brought up the leaders of Judah onto the wall, and appointed two great companies who gave thanks and went in procession. One went on the right hand on the wall toward the Dung Gate;
32 nanonjohy iareo t’i Hosaià naho ty vakim-piaolo’ Iehodao;
and after them went Hoshaiah, and half of the leaders of Judah,
33 naho i Azarià, i Ezra vaho i Mesolame,
and Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam,
34 Iehoda naho i Beniamine naho i Semaià vaho Ieremià;
Judah, and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah,
35 naho ty ila’ o anam-pisoroñe mpinday trompetrao: i Zekarià, ana’ Ionatane, ana’ i Semaià, ana’ i Matanià, ana’ i Mikaià, ana’ i Zakore, ana’ i Asafe;
and certain of the cohanim' sons with trumpets: Zechariah the son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Micaiah, the son of Zakkur, the son of Asaph;
36 naho o rahalahi’eo: i Semaià naho i Azarele, i Milalay, i Gilalay, i Maaý, i Netanele vaho Iehodà, i Kananý, rekets’ o fititiha’ i Davide ondatin’ Añaharey; le niaolo iareo t’i Ezra, mpanokitse;
and his brothers, Shemaiah, and Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, and Judah, Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God; and Ezra the scribe was before them.
37 Ie an-dalambein-drano migoangoañe eo, le nivantañe nañambone’ i fanongàn-drova’ i Davidey, amy fanongan-kijoly ambone’ ty anjomba’ i Davidey, mb’ an-dalambein-drano atiñanam-b’eo.
By 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 to the Water Gate eastward.
38 Le nimb’ ami’ty hifanalakàñe amy raikey i firimboñam-pañandriañañe ila’ey, toe nanonjohy iereo iraho, nitraok’ amy an-tsasa’ ondatioy, ambone’ i kijoliy, mb’ambone’ i fitalakesañ’ abon-toñakey, mb’ amy kijoly mitratrañàkey,
The other company of those who gave thanks went to meet them, and I after them, with the half of the people, on the wall, above the Tower of the Ovens, to the Broad Wall,
39 le mb’ ambone’ i lalambei’ Efraimey mb’eo naho nioza i lalambein-drova taoloy naho i lalambeim-piañey naho ty fitalakesañ’abo’ i Kanànele naho ty fitalakesañ’abo’ i Zatoy mb’amy lalambein’ añondriy mb’eo, vaho nijohañe an-dalambeim-pigaritse eo.
and above the Ephraim Gate, and by the Jeshanah Gate, and by the Fish Gate, and the Tower of Hananel, and the Tower of the Hundred, and as far as the Sheep Gate. And they stood still in the Gate of the Guard.
40 Teo ty nijohaña’ i firimboñañe roe nañandriañe añ’ anjomban’ Añahare ao rey naho izaho, rekets’ i vakim-piaolo nindre amakoy;
So stood the two companies of those who gave thanks in God's house, and I, and the half of the rulers with me;
41 naho o mpisoroñeo, i Eliakime, i Maaseià, i Miniamine, i Mikaià, i Elionay, i Zekarià naho i Kananià, rekets’ o trompetrao;
and the cohanim, Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with trumpets;
42 naho i Maaseià naho i Semaià naho i Ozý naho Iehokanane naho i Malkiià naho i Elame vaho i Ezere. Nampipoña-peo o mpisaboo, mpifelek’ iareo t’Iizrakà.
and Maaseiah, and Shemaiah, and Eleazar, and Uzzi, and Jehohanan, and Malchijah, and Elam, and Ezer. The singers sang loud, with Jezrahiah their overseer.
43 Le nañenga soroñe ra’elahy iereo amy andro zay naho nirebeke, fa nampirebehen’ Añahare an-kafaleam-bey; naho o rakembao naho o ajajao; vaho nijanjiñeñe lavitse añe ty hafalea’ Ierosalaime.
They offered great sacrifices that day, and rejoiced; for God had made them rejoice with great joy; and the women also and the children rejoiced: so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard even afar off.
44 Amy andro zay ty nanendreañe ondaty hifehe o trañom-pañajàñe o varao, o engan-kelahelao, o loha-voao vaho o faha-foloo, te hatontoñe ao ty boak’ amo teten-drovao ty anjara tinendre’ i Hake amo mpisoroñe naho nte-Levio; amy te nirebeke ty amo mpisoroñeo naho o nte-Levy mpijohañeo t’Iehodà.
On that day men were appointed over the storerooms, for the contributions, the first fruits, and the tithes, to gather into them from the fields of the cities the portions appointed by the law for the cohanim and Levites, for Judah rejoiced over the cohanim and the Levites who ministered.
45 Ie nañambeñe ty fitoroñañe an’ Andrianañahare’ iareo naho i fañeferañey, le nanahake Izay ka o mpisaboo naho o mpigaritseo, ie lili’ i Davide naho i Selomò ana’ey.
They performed the duty of their God, and the duty of the purification, and so did the singers and the gatekeepers, according to the commandment of David, and of Solomon his son.
46 Fa teo tañ’ andro’ i Davide naho i Asafe taolo, o mpiaolom-pisabo naho sabom-pandrengeañe naho fañandriañañe aman’ Añahareo.
For long ago in the days of David and Asaph there were directors of the singers and songs of praise and thanksgiving to God.
47 Aa le songa nanolotse ty anjara’ o mpisaboo naho o mpañambeñeo ami’ ty andro’e t’Israele tañ’ andro’ i Zerobabele naho faha’ i Nekemià, le nandiva’ iareo amo nte-Levio vaho nandiva’ o nte-Levio amo ana’ i Aharoneo.
All Israel in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah, gave the portions of the singers and the gatekeepers, as every day required: and they set apart that which was for the Levites; and the Levites set apart that which was for the sons of Aaron.
