In the days of Eliashib, Joiada, Johanan, and Jaddua, during the reign of Darius the Persian, the heads of the families of the Levites and priests were recorded.
23 Àwọn olórí ìdílé láàrín àwọn ọmọ Lefi títí di àkókò Johanani ọmọ Eliaṣibu ni a kọ sílẹ̀ nínú ìwé ìtàn.
As for the descendants of Levi, the family heads up to the days of Johanan son of Eliashib were recorded in the Book of the Chronicles.
24 Àti àwọn olórí àwọn ọmọ Lefi ni Haṣabiah, Ṣerebiah, Jeṣua ọmọ Kadmieli, àti àwọn ẹlẹgbẹ́ wọn, tí wọ́n dúró ní ìdojúkojú wọn láti fi ìyìn àti láti dúpẹ́, apá kan ń dá èkejì lóhùn, gẹ́gẹ́ bí àṣẹ Dafidi ènìyàn Ọlọ́run.
The leaders of the Levites were Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua son of Kadmiel, along with their associates, who stood across from them to give praise and thanksgiving as one section alternated with the other, as prescribed by David the man of God.
25 Mattaniah, Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meṣullamu, Talmoni àti Akkubu ni aṣọ́nà tí wọ́n ń sọ yàrá ìkó nǹkan pamọ́ sí ní ẹnu-ọ̀nà.
Mattaniah, Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, and Akkub were gatekeepers who guarded the storerooms at the gates.
26 Wọ́n ṣiṣẹ́ ìránṣẹ́ ní ìgbà ayé e Joiakimu ọmọ Jeṣua, ọmọ Josadaki, àti ní ọjọ́ ọ Nehemiah baálẹ̀ àti ní ọjọ́ Esra àlùfáà àti akọ̀wé.
They served in the days of Joiakim son of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor and Ezra the priest and scribe.
27 Nígbà ìyàsímímọ́ odi Jerusalẹmu a mú àwọn ọmọ Lefi jáde wá láti ibi tí wọ́n ń gbé, wọ́n sì mú wọn wá sí Jerusalẹmu láti fi ayọ̀ ṣe ayẹyẹ ìyàsímímọ́ pẹ̀lú orin ìdúpẹ́ àti pẹ̀lú ohun èlò orin kimbali, haapu àti ohun èlò orin olókùn.
At the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem, the Levites were sought out from all their homes and brought to Jerusalem to celebrate the joyous dedication with thanksgiving and singing, accompanied by cymbals, harps, and lyres.
28 A kó àwọn akọrin náà jọ papọ̀ láti àwọn ìletò tí ó yí Jerusalẹmu náà ká—láti àwọn abúlé Netofa,
The singers were also assembled from the region around Jerusalem, from the villages of the Netophathites,
29 láti Beti-Gilgali, àti láti àwọn agbègbè Geba àti Asmafeti, nítorí àwọn akọrin ti kọ́ àwọn ìletò fúnra wọn ní agbègbè Jerusalẹmu.
from Beth-gilgal, and from the fields of Geba and Azmaveth, for they had built villages for themselves around Jerusalem.
30 Nígbà tí àwọn àlùfáà àti àwọn ọmọ Lefi ti ya ara wọn sí mímọ́, wọ́n ya àwọn ènìyàn sí mímọ́, àti ẹnu ibodè àti odi pẹ̀lú.
After the priests and Levites had purified themselves, they purified the people, the gates, and the wall.
31 Mo sì tún yan àwọn olórí Juda láti gun orí odi náà. Mo sì tún yan àwọn ẹgbẹ́ akọrin ńlá méjì láti dúpẹ́. Àwọn kan yóò gòkè odi lọ sí apá ọ̀tún sí ọ̀nà ibodè Ààtàn.
Then I brought the leaders of Judah up on the wall, and I appointed two great thanksgiving choirs. One was to proceed along the top of the wall to the right, toward the Dung Gate.
32 Hoṣaiah àti ìdajì àwọn olórí Juda tẹ̀lé wọn,
Hoshaiah and half the leaders of Judah followed,
33 àwọn wọ̀nyí náà sì lọ pẹ̀lú wọn, Asariah, Esra, Meṣullamu,
along with Azariah, Ezra, Meshullam,

and some of the priests with trumpets, and also Zechariah son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Micaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph,
36 àti àwọn ẹlẹgbẹ́ rẹ̀, Ṣemaiah, Asareeli, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Netaneli, Juda àti Hanani—pẹ̀lú ohun èlò orin bí àṣẹ Dafidi ènìyàn Ọlọ́run. Esra akọ̀wé ni ó ṣáájú wọn bí wọ́n ti ń tò lọ lọ́wọ̀ọ̀wọ́.
and his associates—Shemaiah, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, Judah, and Hanani—with the musical instruments prescribed by David the man of God. Ezra the scribe led the procession.
37 Ní ẹnu ibodè orísun wọ́n ti ń lọ tààrà sí ọ̀nà ní orí àtẹ̀gùn ìlú Dafidi ní orí òkè tí ó kángun sí odi, wọ́n sì gba ẹ̀gbẹ́ ilé Dafidi kọjá títí dé ẹnu ibodè omi ní ìhà ìlà-oòrùn.
At the Fountain Gate they climbed the steps of the City of David on the ascent to the wall and passed above the house of David to the Water Gate on the east.
38 Àwọn ẹgbẹ́ akọrin kejì gba ọ̀nà òdìkejì lọ. Mo tẹ̀lé wọn ní orí odi, pẹ̀lú ìdajì àwọn ènìyàn, kọjá ilé ìṣọ́ ìléru lọ sí odi fífẹ̀,
The second thanksgiving choir proceeded to the left, and I followed it with half the people along the top of the wall, past the Tower of the Ovens to the Broad Wall,
39 kọjá ẹnu ibodè Efraimu ibodè Jeṣana, ẹnu ibodè ẹja, ilé ìṣọ́ Hananeli àti ilé ìṣọ́ ọgọ́rùn-ún, títí dé ẹnu ibodè àgùntàn. Wọ́n sì dúró ní ibodè ìṣọ́.
over the Gate of Ephraim, the Jeshanah Gate, the Fish Gate, the Tower of Hananel, and the Tower of the Hundred, as far as the Sheep Gate. And they stopped at the Gate of the Guard.
40 Àwọn ẹgbẹ́ akọrin méjèèjì tí wọ́n dúpẹ́ wà ní ààyè nínú ilé Ọlọ́run, èmi náà sì dúró ní ààyè mi pẹ̀lú ìdajì àwọn ìjòyè,
The two thanksgiving choirs then stood in the house of God, as did I, along with the half of the officials accompanying me,
41 àti àwọn àlùfáà Eliakimu, Maaseiah, Miniamini, Mikaiah, Elioenai, Sekariah àti Hananiah pẹ̀lú àwọn ìpè wọn.
as well as the priests with their trumpets—Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah—
42 Àti pẹ̀lú Maaseiah, Ṣemaiah, Eleasari àti Ussi, àti Jehohanani, àti Malkiah, àti Elamu, àti Eseri. Àwọn akọrin kọrin sókè ní abẹ́ alábojútó Jesrahiah.
and also Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malchijah, Elam, and Ezer. Then the choirs sang out under the direction of Jezrahiah.
43 Ní ọjọ́ náà wọ́n rú ẹbọ ńlá, wọ́n ṣe àjọyọ̀ nítorí Ọlọ́run ti fún wọn ní ayọ̀ ńlá. Àwọn obìnrin àti àwọn ọmọdé sì yọ̀ pẹ̀lú. A lè gbọ́ ariwo ayọ̀ tí ó jáde láti Jerusalẹmu ní jìnnà réré.
On that day they offered great sacrifices, rejoicing because God had given them great joy. The women and children also rejoiced, so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard from afar.
44 Ní àkókò náà, a yan àwọn ènìyàn láti jẹ́ alábojútó yàrá ìṣúra fún àwọn ọrẹ àkọ́so èso àti àwọn ìdámẹ́wàá. Láti inú àwọn oko tí ó wà ní àyíká ìlú ni wọ́n ti ní láti mú wá sínú yàrá ìṣúra, ìpín tí òfin sọ fún àwọn àlùfáà àti àwọn ọmọ Lefi, nítorí inú àwọn ará a Juda yọ́ sí àwọn àlùfáà àti àwọn ọmọ Lefi tó ń ṣiṣẹ́ ìránṣẹ́.
And on that same day men were appointed over the rooms that housed the supplies, contributions, firstfruits, and tithes. The portions specified by the Law for the priests and Levites were gathered into these storerooms from the fields of the villages, because Judah rejoiced over the priests and Levites who were serving.
45 Wọ́n ń ṣiṣẹ́ Ọlọ́run wọn àti iṣẹ́ ìyàsímímọ́, bẹ́ẹ̀ náà ni fún àwọn akọrin àti àwọn aṣọ́nà, wọ́n ń ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí Dafidi àti Solomoni ọmọ rẹ̀ ti pàṣẹ fún wọn.
They performed the service of their God and the service of purification, along with the singers and gatekeepers, as David and his son Solomon had prescribed.
46 Ní ọjọ́ pípẹ́ sẹ́yìn ní ìgbà Dafidi àti Asafu, ni àwọn atọ́nisọ́nà ti wà fún àwọn akọrin àti fún orin ìyìn àti orin ọpẹ́ sí Ọlọ́run.
For long ago, in the days of David and Asaph, there were directors for the singers and for the songs of praise and thanksgiving to God.
47 Nítorí náà ní ìgbà ayé Serubbabeli àti Nehemiah, gbogbo Israẹli ni ó ń dá ìpín lójoojúmọ́ fún àwọn akọrin àti àwọn aṣọ́nà. Wọ́n sì tún yan ìpín mìíràn sọ́tọ̀ fún àwọn ọmọ Lefi tókù, àwọn ọmọ Lefi náà tún ya ìpín ti àwọn ọmọ Aaroni sọ́tọ̀ fún wọn.
So in the days of Zerubbabel and Nehemiah, all Israel contributed the daily portions for the singers and gatekeepers. They also set aside daily portions for the Levites, and the Levites set aside daily portions for the descendants of Aaron.
