8 Oo weliba kuwii reer Laawi waxay ahaayeen Yeeshuuca, iyo Binnuwii, iyo Qadmii'eel, iyo Sheereebyaah, iyo Yahuudah, iyo Matanyaah oo madax u ahaa mahadnaqidda, isaga iyo walaalihiisba.
The Levites were Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, and Mattaniah, who with his fellow Levites was in charge of the songs of praise.
9 Oo weliba Baqbuqyaah iyo Cunnii oo ahaa walaalahood waxay ku jireen gudaha oo iyagay ka soo hor jeedeen.
Two other Levites, Bakbukiah and Unni, stood opposite them in the service.
10 Oo Yeeshuuca wuxuu dhalay Yooyaaqiim, Yooyaaqiimna wuxuu dhalay Eliyaashiib, Eliyaashiibna wuxuu dhalay Yooyaadaac,
Jeshua the high priest was the father of Joiakim, who was the father of Eliashib, who was the father of Joiada,
11 Yooyaadaacna wuxuu dhalay Yoonaataan, Yoonaataanna wuxuu dhalay Yadduuca.
who was the father of Jonathan, who was the father of Jaddua.
12 Oo wakhtigii Yooyaaqiim waxaa jiray wadaaddo qabiilooyin madax u ahaa; waxaa reer Seraayaah u ahaa Meraayaah, reer Yeremyaahna Xananyaah,
In Joiakim's time, these were the family leaders of the priests: of the family of Seraiah, Meraiah; of Jeremiah, Hananiah;

22 Oo kuwii reer Laawi oo joogay wakhtigii Eliyaashiib, iyo Yooyaadaac, iyo Yooxaanaan iyo Yadduuca waxay ahaayeen madaxda qabiilooyinka oo la qoray; waxaa kaloo la qoray wadaaddadii joogay ilaa boqornimadii Daariyus kii reer Faaris ahaa.
The family leaders of the Levites in the time of Eliashib, Joiada, Johanan, and Jaddua, in addition to those of the priests, were recorded during the reign of Darius the Persian.
23 Kuwii reer Laawi oo ahaa madaxdii qabiilooyinka waxaa lagu qoray kitaabkii taariikhda tan iyo wakhtigii Yooxaanaan oo ahaa ina Eliyaashiib.
As for the genealogy of the sons of Levi, the family leaders up to the time of Johanan, son of Eliashib, were listed in the Book of the Records.
24 Oo kuwii reer Laawi madaxda u ahaa waxay ahaayeen Xashabyaah, iyo Sheereebyaah, iyo Yeeshuuca oo ahaa ina Qadmii'eel, iyo walaalahoodii iyaga ka soo hor jeeday inay Ilaah ammaanaan oo ay u mahadnaqaan, siduu amray Daa'uud oo ahaa ninkii Ilaah, iyagoo iska soo hor jeeda.
The Levite leaders were Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua, son of Kadmiel, together with their fellow Levites, who stood opposite them, each section giving praise and thanks and responding to one another, as arranged by David, the man of God.
25 Oo Matanyaah, iyo Baqbuqyaah, iyo Cobadyaah, iyo Meshullaam, iyo Talmon, iyo Caquub waxay ahaayeen irid-dhawryadii dhawri jiray bakhaarradii u dhowaa irdaha.
They were joined by Mattaniah, Bakbukiah, and Obadiah. Meshullam, Talmon, and Akkub were gatekeepers who guarded the storehouses at the gates.
26 Kuwaasu waxay joogeen wakhtigii Yooyaaqiim oo ahaa ina Yeeshuuca, ina Yoosaadaaq, iyo wakhtigii taliyihii Nexemyaah ahaa iyo wakhtigii wadaadkii Cesraa oo karraaniga ahaa.
They served in the time of Joiakim, son of Jeshua, son of Jozadak, and in the time of Nehemiah the governor and Ezra the priest and scribe.
27 Oo markii derbigii Yeruusaalem gaar laga dhigay kuwii reer Laawi mid kasta meeshiisii baa laga doondoonay in iyaga Yeruusaalem la keeno si gaarkadhigidda farxad loogu sameeyo, oo mahadnaqid iyo gabay, iyo suxuun laysku garaaco, iyo shareerado, iyo kataaradoba Ilaah loogu ammaano.
In order to dedicate the wall of Jerusalem, the Levites were called from everywhere they were living to come to Jerusalem and celebrate with joy the dedication with songs of praise and thanks, accompanied by cymbals, harps, and lyres.
28 Oo kuwii gabayaaga ahaana waxay iska soo urursadeen bannaankii Yeruusaalem ku wareegsanaa iyo tuulooyinkii reer Netofaah,
The singers were also brought in from the area around Jerusalem and from the villages of the Netophathites,
29 iyo weliba Beytgilgaal, iyo beerihii Gebac, iyo Casmawed, waayo, kuwii gabayaaga ahaa tuulooyin ayay ka dhisteen Yeruusaalem hareeraheeda.
as well as from Beth-gilgal and from the area of Geba and Azmaveth, for the singers had built villages for themselves all around Jerusalem.
30 Markaasaa wadaaddadii iyo kuwii reer Laawi isdaahiriyeen, oo waxay kaloo daahiriyeen dadkii iyo irdihii iyo derbigii.
Once the priests and the Levites had purified themselves, they purified the people, the gates, and the wall.
31 Kolkaasaan amiirradii dalka Yahuudah keenay derbiga dushiisa, oo waxaan doortay laba kooxood oo waaweyn oo mahadnaqa, oo kooxba raggeedu isdaba socdo. Midi waxay tagtay xagga midig derbiga dushiisa ee Iridda Digada,
I had the leaders of Judah go up on the wall, and arranged two large choirs that to give thanks. One group went to right along the wall to the Refuse Gate.
32 oo waxaa iyagii daba galay Hooshacyaah iyo amiirradii dalka Yahuudah badhkood,
Hoshaiah and half the leaders of Judah followed them,
33 iyo Casaryaah, iyo Cesraa, iyo Meshullaam,
with Azariah, Ezra, Meshullam,
34 iyo Yahuudah, iyo Benyaamiin, iyo Shemacyaah, iyo Yeremyaah,
Judah, Benjamin, Shemaiah, and Jeremiah,
35 iyo wiilashii wadaaddada qaarkood oo turumbooyin wata, kuwaasoo ahaa Sekaryaah oo ahaa ina Yoonaataan, ina Shemacyaah, ina Matanyaah, ina Miikaayaah, ina Sakuur, ina Aasaaf,
as well as some of the priests with trumpets, and Zechariah, son of Jonathan, son of Shemaiah, son of Mattaniah, son of Micaiah, son of Zaccur, son of Asaph,
36 iyo walaalihiis oo ahaa Shemacyaah, iyo Casareel, iyo Milalay, iyo Gilalay, iyo Maacay, iyo Netoneel, iyo Yahuudah, iyo Xanaanii, iyagoo wata alaabtii muusikada oo Daa'uud oo ahaa ninka Ilaah, oo iyaga waxaa u horreeyey karraanigii Cesraa.
and his fellow priests, Shemaiah, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, Judah, and Hanani, along with the musical instruments as required by David, the man of God. Ezra the scribe led them.
37 Oo xagga Iriddii Isha Biyaha iyo hortoodii ku qummanayd ayay kor u fuuleen jaranjaradii magaalada Daa'uud meesha derbiga laga fuulo oo ka korraysa gurigii Daa'uud, iyo ilaa Iridda Biyaha oo xagga bari ah.
At the Fountain Gate they headed straight up by the stairs of the city of David, where the wall goes uphill, above the house of David, and on to the Water Gate on the east.
38 Oo kooxdii kale oo kuwa mahadda naqaa waxay u kaceen inay ka hor tagaan, oo anna iyagaan daba socday; aniga iyo dadkii badhkiis waxaannu soconnay derbiga korkiisa, xagga ka sarraysa Munaaradda Foornooyinka iyo xataa tan iyo derbiga ballaadhan,
The other choir group went in the opposite direction. I followed them, along with half the people, on the wall passing the Tower of the Ovens, on to the Broad Wall,
39 iyo xagga ka sarraysa Iridda Efrayim, iyo Iridda Gabooday agteeda, iyo Iridda Kalluunka, iyo Munaaradda Xananeel, iyo Munaaradda Mee'aah, iyo xataa Iridda Idaha; oo waxay joogsadeen Iriddii Waardiyaha.
over the Ephraim Gate, the Jeshanah Gate, the Fish Gate, the Tower of Hananel, and the Tower of the Hundred, as far as the Sheep Gate, stopping at the Guard Gate.
40 Oo sidaasay u joogsadeen labadii kooxood oo kuwii mahadda ku naqi jiray gurigii Ilaah, iyo aniga, iyo taliyayaashii badhkood oo ila joogay,
Both thanksgiving choirs then took their places in God's Temple. I followed with the group of leaders that was with me,
41 iyo wadaaddadii ahaa Elyaaqiim, iyo Macaseeyaah, iyo Minyaamim, iyo Miikaayaah, iyo Eliyooceenay, iyo Sekaryaah, iyo Xananyaah, oo wata turumbooyin;
along with the priests blowing their trumpets: Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah.
42 iyo Macaseeyaah, iyo Shemacyaah, iyo Elecaasaar, iyo Cusii, iyo Yehooxaanaan, iyo Malkiiyaah, iyo Ceelaam, iyo Ceser. Oo kuwii gabayaaga ahaana cod dheer bay kula gabyeen Yesraxyaah oo ahaa madaxoodii.
Then came the singers Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malchijah, Elam, and Ezer, and the choirs sang, directed by Jezrahiah.
43 Oo maalintaas waxaa la bixiyey allabaryo badan, oo waa la wada farxay, waayo, Ilaah baa farxad weyn kaga farxiyey, oo dumarkii iyo carruurtiina way farxeen, sidaas daraaddeed Yeruusaalem farxaddeedii waxaa laga maqlay meel fog.
Many sacrifices were offered that day, celebrating that God had brought them so much happiness, tremendous happiness. The women and children also celebrated, and the sounds of joy in Jerusalem could be heard far away.
44 Oo maalintaas ayaa rag loo doortay inay u taliyaan qolalka khasnadaha, iyo qurbaannada kor loo qaado, iyo midhaha ugu horreeya, iyo meeltobnaadyada, si loogaga soo ururiyo beeraha magaalooyinka oo dhan qaybihii sharcigu u amray wadaaddada iyo kuwii reer Laawi, waayo, dadka dalka Yahuudah way ku faraxsanaayeen wadaaddadii iyo kuwii reer Laawi oo adeegayay.
On the same day men were put in charge over the storerooms that contained the offerings, the first part of the crops, and tithes. What was allocated by the Law for the priests and Levites was brought into these storerooms from the fields around the towns, because all the people of Judah were happy for the service of the priests and Levites.
45 Oo waxay dhawreen wixii ku saabsanaa u adeegidda Ilaahood iyo wixii ku saabsanaa isdaahirinta, oo kuwii gabayaaga ahaa iyo irid-dhawryadiina saasoo kalay yeeleen, sidii uu amarkii Daa'uud iyo wiilkiisii Sulaymaan ahaa.
They were responsible for the worship of their God and for the service of purification, along with the singers and gatekeepers, following the instructions of David and his son Solomon.
46 Waayo, waagii hore oo ahaa wakhtigii Daa'uud iyo Aasaaf waxaa jiri jiray nin madax u ahaa kuwii gabayaaga ahaa, oo waxaa Ilaah loogu gabyi jiray gabayo ammaan iyo mahadnaqid ah.
For long ago, back in the time of David and Asaph, directors had been appointed for the singers and for the songs of praise and thanks to God.
47 Oo wakhtigii Serubaabel iyo wakhtigii Nexemyaah reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu way wada bixin jireen qaybihii kuwii gabayaaga ahaa iyo kuwii irid-dhawryadaba intii maalin kasta loo baahnaan jiray; oo in bay gooni uga dhigeen reer Laawi, oo reer Laawina in bay gooni uga dhigeen reer Haaruun.
So in the time of Zerubbabel and of Nehemiah, everyone in Israel provided the daily food allowances for the singers and the gatekeepers. They also made sure to provide for the other Levites, and the Levites gave a share of this to the descendants of Aaron.
