1 शालतिएलका छोरा यरुबाबेल र येशूअसँग फर्केर आएका पुजारीहरू र लेवीहरू यिनै हुन्‌:

Now these are the priests and the Levites who went up with Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua: Seraiah, Jeremiah, Ezra,

Sallu, Amok, Hilkiah, Jedaiah. These were the chiefs of the priests and of their brothers in the days of Jeshua.

8 लेवीहरू: येशूअ, बिन्‍नूई, कादमीएल, शरेबियाह, यहूदा र मत्तन्‍याह । मत्तन्‍याह आफ्‍ना सहयोगीहरूसँग धन्‍यवाद ज्ञापनका भजनहरूका जिम्‍मावाल थिए ।

Moreover the Levites: Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, and Mattaniah, who was over the thanksgiving, he and his brothers.

9 तिनका सहयोगीहरू बक्‍बुक्‍याह र उन्‍नीचाहिँ सेवामा तिनीहरूका सामुन्‍ने उभिन्थे ।

Also Bakbukiah and Unni, their brothers, were over against them according to their offices.

10 येशूअ योयाकीमका पिता थिए । योयाकीम एल्‍यासीबका पिता थिए । एल्‍यासीब योयादाका पिता थिए ।

Jeshua became the father of Joiakim, and Joiakim became the father of Eliashib, and Eliashib became the father of Joiada,

11 योयादा जोनाथनका पिता थिए, र जोनाथन यद्दूअका पिता थिए ।

and Joiada became the father of Jonathan, and Jonathan became the father of Jaddua.

12 योयाकीमको समयमा यी पुजारीहरू आ-आफ्‍ना परिवारका मुखिया थिए: सरायाहका परिवारका मरायाह, यर्मियाका हनन्‍याह,

In the days of Joiakim were priests, heads of ancestral houses: of Seraiah, Meraiah; of Jeremiah, Hananiah;

13 एज्राका मशुल्‍लाम, अमर्याहका येहोहानान,

of Ezra, Meshullam; of Amariah, Jehohanan;

16 इद्दोका जकरिया, गिन्‍नतोनका मशुल्‍लाम,

of Iddo, Zechariah; of Ginnethon, Meshullam;

17 अबियाका जिक्री, मिन्‍यामीन र मोदाहाका पिल्‍तै,

21 हिल्‍कियाहका हशब्‍याह, यदायाहका नतनेल ।

22 एल्‍यासीब, योयादा, योहानान र यद्दूअका समयका लेवीहरूका परिवारहरू तथा पुजारीका मुखियाहरूका नाउँ फारसी राजा दाराको शासनकालमा लेखिएका थिए ।

As for the Levites, in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, and Johanan, and Jaddua, there were recorded the heads of ancestral houses; also the priests, in the reign of Daryavesh the Persian.

23 लेवी परिवारका मुखियाहरूका नाउँचाहिँ एल्‍यासीबका छोरा योहानानको पालासम्‍मै इतिहासको पुस्‍तकमा लेखिएका थिए ।

The sons of Levi, heads of ancestral houses, were written in the scroll of the chronicles, even until the days of Johanan the son of Eliashib.

24 लेवीहरूका अगुवाहरू हशब्याह, शरेबियाह, कादमीएलका छोरा येशूअ र तिनीहरूका सहयोगीहरू, जो तिनीहरूका सामुन्‍ने खडा हुन्थे, र आ-आफ्नो पालोअनुसार परमेश्‍वरका जन दाऊदको आज्ञामुताबिक प्रशंसा गर्ने र धन्यवाद दिने गर्थे ।

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 मत्तन्‍याह, बक्‍बुक्‍याह, ओबदिया, मशुल्‍लाम, तल्‍मोन र अक्‍कूबचाहिँ मूल ढोकानेर भएका भण्‍डार-कोठाहरूमा रक्षा दिने द्वारपालहरू थिए ।

Mattaniah, and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub, were gatekeepers keeping the watch at the storehouses of the gates.

26 तिनीहरूले येशूअका छोरा, योसादाकका नाति योयाकीमको पालोमा अनि राज्यपाल नहेम्याह र पुजारीसाथै शास्‍त्री एज्राको पालोमा सेवा गरे ।

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 यरूशलेमको पर्खालको अर्पणको बेलामा धन्यवाद ज्ञापन दिँदै अनि झ्याली, वीणा र सारङ्गी बजाउँदै आनन्दसाथ अर्पणको उत्सव मनाउन मानिसहरूले लेवीहरू जहाँसुकै बसेका भए तापनि तिनीहरूको खोजी गरे ।

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 यरूशलेम वरिपरिको जिल्ला र नतोपातीहरूका गाउँहरूबाट गायकहरू सँगै भेला भए ।

The sons of the singers gathered themselves together, both out of the plain around Jerusalem, and from the villages of the Netophathites;

29 तिनीहरू बेथ-गिलगाल, गेबा र अज्मावेतका क्षेत्रहरूबाट पनि आए किनकि गायकहरूले यरूशलेमको वरिपरि आफ्ना लागि गाउँहरू बनाएका थिए ।

also from Beth Gilgal, and out of the fields of Geba and Azmaveth: for the singers had built them villages around Jerusalem.

30 पुजारी र लेवीहरूले आ-आफूलाई शुद्ध पारे, अनि तिनीहरूले मानिसहरू, मूल ढोकाहरू र पर्खाललाई शुद्ध पारे ।

The priests and the Levites purified themselves; and they purified the people, and the gates, and the wall.

31 तब मैले यहूदाका अगुवाहरूलाई पर्खालको माथि जान लगाएँ, र धन्यवाद दिन मैले दुईवटा ठुला-ठुला गायन-झुण्ड नियुक्त गरेँ । एउटा झुण्ड दाहिनेतिर पर्खालमा फोहोर ढोकामा गयो ।

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 होशयाह र यहूदाका आधा अगुवाहरूले तिनीहरूलाई पछ्याए,

and after them went Hoshaiah, and half of the leaders of Judah,

33 अनि अजर्याह, एज्रा, मशुल्लाम,

and Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam,

34 यहूदा, बेन्यामीन, शमायाह र यर्मिया तिनीहरूको पछि लागे ।

Judah, and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah,

35 साथै, तुरहीहरू बोकेर केही पुजाहारीहरूका छोराहरू र जकरिया, जो जोनाथनका छोरा, जो शमायाहका छोरा, जो मत्तन्‍याहका छोरा, जो मीकायाका छोरा, जो जक्‍कूरका छोरा, जो आसापका छोरा थिए, तिनीहरू पनि पछि लागे ।

and certain of the priests' 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 त्यहाँ जकरियाका नातेदारहरू अर्थात् शमायाह, अज्रेल, मिललै, गिललै, माऐ, नतनेल, यहूदा र हनानी पनि परमेश्‍वरका जन दाऊदका साङ्गीतिक साधनहरू बोकेर आएका थिए । शास्‍त्री एज्रा सबैभन्दा अगाडि थिए ।

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 तिनीहरू फुहारा ढोकाबाट भएर दाऊदको सहरका सिँढीहरूबाट सिधै पर्खालमा उकालो चढ्ने बाटो भएर दाऊदको दरबार पार गरी पूर्वतिर अवस्थित पानी ढोकासम्मै गए ।

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 धन्यवाद दिनेहरूको अर्को गायन झुण्ड अर्को दिशामा गयो । मानिसहरूका आधा भागसँगै मैले तिनीहरूलाई पर्खालमा पछ्याएँ । यो झुण्ड भट्टिको बुर्जा भएर, चौडा पर्खालसम्म,

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 र एफ्राइमको ढोका, येशना ढोका, माछा ढोका, हननेलको बुर्जा र सयको बुर्जादेखि भेडा ढोकासम्म गएपछि तिनीहरू गारदको ढोकामा अडिए ।

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 यसरी धन्यवाद दिनेहरूका यी दुवै गायन-झुण्ड परमेश्‍वरको मन्दिरमा आ-आफ्नो स्थानमा बसे, र म पनि अधिकारीहरूको आधा भागसँगै आफ्नो स्थानमा बसेँ ।

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 त्यसपछि पुजारीहरू एल्‍याकीम, मासेयाह, मिन्‍यामीन, मीकाया, एल्‍योएनै, जकरिया र हनन्‍याह तुरहीहरू बोकेर आ-आफ्नो स्थानमा बसे ।

and the priests, Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with trumpets;

42 साथै, मासेयाह, शमायाह, एलाजार, उज्‍जी, येहोहानान, मल्‍कियाह, एलाम र एसेर पनि त्यहाँ थिए । गायकहरूले तिनीहरूका अगुवा यिज्रहियाहको निर्देशनमा गाए ।

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 त्यस दिन तिनीहरूले ठुला-ठुला बलिदानहरू चढाए, र आनन्द मनाए, किनकि परमेश्‍वरले तिनीहरूलाई बडो आनन्द मनाउन दिनुभएको थियो । स्‍त्रीहरू र बालबालिकाहरूले पनि आनन्द मनाए । यसरी यरूशलेमको आनन्द टाढा-टाढासम्म सुन्‍न सकिन्थ्यो ।

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 त्यस दिन भेटीहरू, अगौटे फलहरू र दशांशहरूका निम्ति भण्डार-कोठाहरूको जिम्मा लिन अनि लेवीहरू र पुजारीहरूका निम्ति व्यवस्थाले तोकेबमोजिम हिस्सा जम्मा गर्न मानिसहरू नियुक्त गरिए । सहरका नजिकका बस्तीहरूबाट काम गर्न हरेकलाई जिम्मा दिइएको थियो । किनकि यहूदा पुजारीहरू र लेवीहरूबाट प्रसन्‍न भए जो तिनीहरूका सामु खडा थिए ।

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 priests and Levites, for Judah rejoiced over the priests and the Levites who ministered.

45 दाऊद र तिनका छोरा सोलोमनको आज्ञामुताबिक तिनीहरूले आफ्ना परमेश्‍वरको सेवा र शुद्धिको सेवा गरे, अनि गायकहरू र द्वारपालहरूले पनि त्यसै गरे ।

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 किनकि धेरै पहिले दाऊद र आसापको समयमा गायकहरूका निर्देशकहरू थिए, र त्यहाँ परमेश्‍वरको निम्ति प्रशंसासाथै धन्यवाद ज्ञापन हुन्थ्यो ।

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 यरुबाबेल र नहेम्याहको समयमा सारा इस्राएलले गायकहरू र द्वारपालहरूका लागि दैनिक हिस्सा दिन्थे । तिनीहरूले लेवीहरूका निम्ति भाग छुट्ट्याउँथे, र लेवीहरूले हारूनका सन्तानहरूका निम्ति भाग छुट्ट्याउँथे ।

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.
