The Levites in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, and Johanan, and Jaddua, were recorded heads of the fathers: also the priests, to the reign of Darius 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, the heads of the fathers, were written in the book of the chronicles, even till 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.
And the chief of the Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua the son of Kadmiel, with their brethren opposite them, to praise and to give thanks, according to the commandment of David the man of God, division side by side with division.
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 porters 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 priest, 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.
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 with gladness, both with thanksgivings, and with singing, with cymbals, psalteries, and with harps.
28 Aa le nifanontoñe boak’ am-paripari’ Ierosalaime ey naho boak’ amo tanàm-pitoroñe añ’anjombao o anam-pisaboo;
And the sons of the singers gathered themselves together, both out of the plain country around Jerusalem, and from the villages of Netophathi;
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 the house of Gilgal, and from 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.
And the priests and the Levites purified themselves, and 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 princes of Judah upon the wall, and appointed two great companies of them that gave thanks, of which one went on the right hand upon 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 princes 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 priests’ sons with trumpets; namely, Zechariah the son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Michaiah, the son of Zaccur, 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 brethren, Shemaiah, and Azarael, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethaneel, and Judah, Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God, and Ezra the scribe 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.
And at the fountain gate, which was opposite 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,
And the other company of them that gave thanks went to meet them, and I after them, and the half of the people upon the wall, from beyond the tower of the furnaces even 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 from above the gate of Ephraim, and above the old gate, and above the fish gate, and the tower of Hananeel, and the tower of Meah, even to the sheep gate: and they stood still in the prison gate.
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 them that gave thanks in the house of God, 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 priests; Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Michaiah, 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. And 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.
Also that day they offered great sacrifices, and rejoiced: for God had made them rejoice with great joy: the wives 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.
And at that time were some appointed over the chambers for the treasures, for the offerings, for the firstfruits, and for the tithes, to gather into them out of the fields of the cities the portions of the law for the priests and Levites: for Judah rejoiced for the priests and for the Levites that waited.
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.
And both the singers and the porters kept the charge of their God, and the charge of the purification, 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 in the days of David and Asaph of old there were leaders 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.
And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah, gave the portions of the singers and the porters, every day his portion: and they sanctified holy things to the Levites; and the Levites sanctified them to the children of Aaron.
