And over [the] gate of the spring and before themselves they went up on [the] steps of [the] city of David at the ascent to the wall from above to [the] house of David and to [the] gate of the water east.
38 Kundi la pili la waimbaji lilielekea upande wa kushoto. Niliwafuata juu ya ukuta, pamoja na nusu ya watu kupitia Mnara wa Tanuru mpaka kwenye Ukuta Mpana,
And the thanksgiving choir second [was] the [one which] was going to [the] front and I [was] behind it and [the] half of the people from on to the wall from above to [the] tower of the ovens and to the wall broad.

40 Kisha yale makundi mawili ya waimbaji yaliyoshukuru yakachukua nafasi zao katika nyumba ya Mungu. Nami pia nikafanya hivyo, pamoja na nusu ya maafisa,

43 Siku hiyo watu walitoa dhabihu nyingi, wakishangilia kwa sababu Mungu aliwapa furaha kuu. Wanawake na watoto walishangilia pia. Sauti ya kushangilia huko Yerusalemu iliweza kusikika mbali sana.
And they sacrificed on the day that sacrifices great and they rejoiced for God he had made rejoice them joy great and also the women and the children they rejoiced and it was heard [the] rejoicing of Jerusalem from a distance.
44 Wakati huo watu walichaguliwa kuwa wasimamizi wa vyumba vya ghala kwa ajili ya matoleo, malimbuko na zaka. Kutoka kwenye yale mashamba yaliyozunguka miji walipaswa walete kwenye ghala mafungu kama sheria ilivyoamuru kwa ajili ya makuhani na Walawi, kwa kuwa Yuda alifurahishwa na huduma ya makuhani na Walawi.
And they were appointed on the day that men over the rooms for the stores for the contributions for the first [fruit] and for the tithes to gather in them to [the] fields of the cities [the] portions of the law for the priests and for the Levites for [the] joy of Judah [was] on the priests and on the Levites who were standing.
45 Walifanya ibada ya Mungu wao na ibada ya utakaso, nao waimbaji na walinzi wa lango wakafanya hivyo pia, kufuatana na amri za Daudi na Solomoni mwanawe.
And they kept [the] service of God their and [the] service of purification and the singers and the gatekeepers according to [the] command of David Solomon son his.
46 Muda mrefu uliopita, katika siku za Daudi na Asafu, walikuwepo viongozi wa waimbaji na wa nyimbo za sifa na za kumshukuru Mungu.
For in [the] days of David and Asaph from antiquity ([the] leaders of *Q(K)*) the singers and [the] song of praise and thanksgiving to God.
47 Kwa hiyo katika siku za Zerubabeli na za Nehemia, Israeli wote walitoa mafungu kila siku kwa ajili ya waimbaji na mabawabu. Pia walitenga fungu kwa ajili ya Walawi wengine, nao Walawi walitenga fungu kwa ajili ya wazao wa Aroni.
And all Israel in [the] days of Zerubbabel and in [the] days of Nehemiah [were] giving [the] portions of the singers and the gatekeepers [the] matter of a day in day its and [were] setting apart for the Levites and the Levites [were] setting apart for [the] descendants of Aaron.
