Nehemia 12
1 Na ko nga tohunga enei, me nga Riwaiti, i haere tahi i a Herupapera tama a Haratiera raua ko Hehua: ara ko Heraia, ko Heremaia, ko Etera,
And these are the priests and the Levites that came up with Zerubbabel the son of Shealthiel, and Jeshua': Serayah, Jeremiah, 'Ezra,
2 Ko Amaria, ko Maruku, ko Hatuhu,
Amaryah, Malluch, Chattush,
3 Ko Hekania, ko Rehumu, ko Meremoto,

6 Ko hemaia, ko Toiaripi, ko Ieraia,
Shema'yah, and Joyarib, Jed'ayah,
7 Ko Haru, ko Amoko, ko Hirikia, ko Ieraia. Ko nga ariki enei o nga tohunga, o o ratou teina hoki, i nga ra o Hehua.
Sallu, 'Amok, Chilkiyah, Jed'ayah. These were the chiefs of the priests and of their brethren in the days of Jeshua'.
8 Na, ko nga Riwaiti; ko Hehua, ko Pinui, ko Karamiere, ko Herepia, ko Hura, ko Matania, kei a ia nei te tikanga mo te whakawhetai, kei a ia, ratou ko ona teina.
And the Levites: Jeshua', Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebyah, Judah, and Matthaniah, who was over the songs of thanksgiving, he and his brethren;
9 Na ko Pakapukia raua ko Uni, o ratou teina, kei to ratou aroaro i nga tiakanga.
And Bakbukyah and 'Unni, their brethren, were opposite to them in the watches.
10 Na ka whanau ake ta Hehua; ko Ioiakimi; whanau ake ta Ioiakimi, ko Eriahipi; whanau ake ta Eriahipi, ko Ioiara.
And Jeshua' begat Joyakim, and Joyakim begat Elyashib, and Elyashib begat Joyada'.
11 Whanau ake ta Ioiara, ko Honatana; whanau ake ta Honatana, ko Tarua;
And Joyada' begat Jonathan, and Jonathan begat Jaddua'.
12 Na, i nga ra o Ioiakimi, tera nga tohunga, ko nga ariki o nga whare o nga matua; ta Heraia, ko Meraia; ta Heremaia, ko Hanania;
And in the days of Joyakim were priests, as chiefs of the divisions: Of Serayah, Merayah; of Jeremiah, Chananyah;
13 Ta Etera, ko Mehurama; ta Amaria, ko Iehohanana;
Of 'Ezra, Meshullam; of Amaryah, Jehochanan;
14 Ta Meriku, ko Honatana; ta Hepania, ko Hohepa;
Of Mellchu, Jonathan; of Shebanyah, Joseph;
15 Ta Harimi, ko Arana, ta Meraioto, ko Herekai;
Of Charim, 'Adna; of Merayoth, Chelkai;
16 Ta Iro, ko Hakaraia; ta Kinetono, ko Mehurama;
Of 'Iddo, Zechariah; of Ginnethon, Meshullam;
17 Ta Apia, ko Tikiri; ta Miniamini, ta Moaria, ko Piritai;
Of Abiyah, Zichri; of Minyamin, of Mo'adyah, Piltai;
18 Ta Pirika, ko Hamua; ta Hemaia, ko Honatana;
Of Bilgah, Shammua'; of Shem'ayah, Jehonathan;
19 Ta Toiaripi, ko Matenai; ta Ieraia, ko Uti;
And of Joyarib, Matthenai; of Jeda'yah, 'Uzzi;
20 Ta Harai, ko Karai; ta Amoko, ko Epere;
Of Sallai, Kallai; of 'Amok, 'Eber;
21 Ta Hirikia, ko Hahapia; ta Ieraia, ko Netaneere.
Of Chilkiyah, Chashabyah; of Jeda'yah, Nethanel.
22 Ko nga Riwaiti i nga ra i a Eriahipi, i a Ioiara, i a Iohanana, i a Tarua, he mea tuhituhi hei ariki mo nga whare o nga matua: me nga tohunga ano i te wa e kingi ana a Tariuha o Pahia.
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 Ko nga tama a Riwai, ko nga ariki o nga whare o nga matua, he mea tuhituhi ki te pukapuka o nga ra, a tae noa ki nga ra o Iohanana tama a Eriahipi.
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 A ko nga ariki o nga Riwaiti; ko Hahapia, ko Herepia, ko Hehua tama a Karamiere, me o ratou teina ano i te ritenga mai o ratou, hei whakamoemiti, hei whakawhetai; ko te mea hoki ia i whakahaua e ta te Atua tangata, e Rawiri, tenei tiakanga i te ritenga mai o tenei tiakanga.
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 Ko Matania, ko Pakapukia, ko Oparia, ko Mehurama, ko Taramono, ko Akupu nga kaitiaki kuwaha, hei tiaki i nga whare taonga i nga kuwaha.
Matthanyah, and Bakbukyah, 'Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, 'Akkub, were watching gatekeepers on the watch at the thresholds of the gates.
26 No nga ra enei i a Ioiakimi tama a Hehua tama a Iohereke, no nga ra ano hoki i a Nehemia kawana, i a Etera tohunga, i te karaipi ra.
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 Na, i te tainga o te kawa o te taiepa o Hiruharama, i rapua nga Riwaiti i o ratou wahi katoa, i meatia kia kawea ki Hiruharama, kia taia hoki te kawa i runga i te koa, i te whakawhetai, i te waiata, i te himipora, i te hatere, i te hapa.
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 I huihui mai ano nga tama a nga kaiwaiata i te mania i nga taha katoa o Hiruharama, i nga kainga ano hoki o nga Netopati;
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 I Petekirikara ano, i nga mara hoki o Kepa, o Atamawete; i hanga hoki e nga kaiwaiata he kainga mo ratou ki nga taha katoa o Hiruharama.
Also from Beth-hagilgal, and out of the fields of Geba' and Azmaveth; for the singers had built themselves villages round about Jerusalem.
30 Na kei te pure nga tohunga ratou ko nga Riwaiti i a ratou; kei te pure hoki i te iwi, i nga kuwaha, i te taiepa.
And the priests and the Levites purified themselves, and then they purified the people, and the gates, and the wall.
31 Katahi ka kawea e ahau nga rangatira o Hura ki runga ki te taiepa, a whakaritea ana e ahau kia rua nga ropu nui hei whakawhetai, kotahi hei haere ki matau i runga i te taiepa whaka te keti paranga paru:
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 A i muri i a ratou ka haere ko Hohaia me tetahi tanga o nga rangatira o Hura,
And after them walked Hosha'yah, and half of the princes of Judah,
33 A Ataria, a Etera, a Mehurama,
And 'Azaryah, 'Ezra, and Meshullam,
34 A Hura, a Pineamine, a Hemaia, a Heremaia,
Judah, and Benjamin, and Shema'yah, and Jeremiah;
35 Me etahi o nga tama a nga tohunga e mau tetere ana; me Hakaraia tama a Honatana, tama a Hemaia, tama a Matania, tama a Mikaia, tama a Takuru, tama a Ahapa:
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 Me ona teina, ara a Hemaia, a Atareere, a Mirarai, a Kirarai, a Maai, a Netaneere, a Hura, a Hanani, e mau ana i nga mea whakatangi a ta te Atua tangata, a Rawiri: a ko Etera karaipi kei to ratou aroaro.
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 Na i te keti o te puna wai, i te ritenga mai ano o ratou, ka haere atu ratou i nga kaupae o te pa o Rawiri, i te pinakitanga o te taiepa i runga i te whare o Rawiri, tae noa ki te keti wai ki te rawhiti.
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 Na, ko tera atu ropu o nga kaiwhakawhetai i haere ki te whakatutaki i a ratou, me ahau i muri i a ratou, me tetahi tanga o te iwi i runga i te taiepa, i runga o te taumaihi oumu tae noa ki te taiepa whanui:
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 I runga hoki i te keti o Eparaima, i te keti tawhito, i te keti ika, i te taumaihi o Hananeere, i te taumaihi ano o Meaha tae noa ki te keti hipi: a tu tonu ratou ki te keti i te whare herehere.
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 Na tu ana nga ropu e rua o nga kaiwhakawhetai ki te whare o te Atua, matou tahi ko tetahi tanga o nga rangatira,
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 Ko nga tohunga; ko Eriakimi, ko Maaheia, ko Miniamini, ko Mikaia, ko Erioenai, ko Hakaraia, ko Hanania, e mau tetere ana;
And the priests, Elyakim, Ma'asseyah, Minyamin, Michayah, Elyo'enai, Zechariah, and Chananiah, with trumpets;
42 Ko Maaheia, ko Hemaia, ko Ereatara, ko Uti, ko Iehohanana, ko Marakia, ko Erama, ko Etere. Na nui atu te waiata a nga kaiwaiata ratou ko Itirahia, ko te kaitohutohu.
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 He nui ano nga patunga tapu i patua e ratou i taua rangi, a koa ana ratou: he nui hoki te koa i meinga ai ratou e te Atua kia koa. I koa hoki nga wahine me nga tamariki, no ka rangona mai te koa o Hiruharama i tawhiti.
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 I whakaritea ano i taua wa etahi kaitirotiro i nga ruma mo nga taonga, mo nga whakahere hapahapai, mo nga hua matamua, mo nga whakatekau; ma ratou e kohikohi ki reira i nga mara o nga pa, nga wahi i whakaritea e te ture ma nga tohunga ratou ko n ga Riwaiti: i koa hoki a Hura ki nga tohunga, ki nga Riwaiti, ki nga mea e minita ana.
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 Na kei te tiaki ratou i nga mea o to ratou Atua, kei te tiaki hoki i te purenga, a i pera ano nga kaiwaiata, me nga kaitiaki kuwaha; rite tonu ki te whakahau a Rawiri raua ko tana tama, ko Horomona.
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 No nga ra hoki o Rawiri raua ko Ahapa, nonamata iho, tera ano te rangatira mo nga kaiwaiata, me nga waiata whakamoemiti, me nga whakawhetai ki te Atua.
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 I nga ra hoki i a Herupapera, i nga ra ano i a Nehemia, i homai e Iharaira katoa nga wahi ma nga kaiwaiata, ma nga kaitiaki kuwaha, te wahi mo tenei ra, mo tenei ra: i whakatapua ano e ratou nga mea tapu ma nga Riwaiti; a ko nga Riwaiti hei whak atapu ma nga tama a 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.
