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 A kó àwọn akọrin náà jọ papọ̀ láti àwọn ìletò tí ó yí Jerusalẹmu náà ká—láti àwọn abúlé Netofa,
The sons of the singers gathered themselves together, both out of the plain around Jerusalem and 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.
also from Beth Gilgal and out of the fields of Geba and Azmaveth, for the singers had built themselves villages around Jerusalem.

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

Then I brought the princes of Judah up on the wall, and appointed two great companies who gave thanks and went in procession. One went on the right hand on the wall towards the dung gate;
32 Hoṣaiah àti ìdajì àwọn olórí Juda tẹ̀lé wọn,
and after them went Hoshaiah, with half of the princes of Judah,

and his brothers, Shemaiah, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, Judah, and Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God; and Ezra the scribe was before them.
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.
By the spring gate, and straight before them, they went up by the stairs of David’s city, at the ascent of the wall, above David’s house, even to the water gate eastward.
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 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 furnaces, even to the wide 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.
and above the gate of Ephraim, and by the old gate, and by the fish gate, the tower of Hananel, and the tower of Hammeah, even to the sheep gate; and they stood still in 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,
So the two companies of those who gave thanks in God’s house stood, and I and the half of the rulers with me;
41 àti àwọn àlùfáà Eliakimu, Maaseiah, Miniamini, Mikaiah, Elioenai, Sekariah àti Hananiah pẹ̀lú àwọn ìpè wọn.
and the priests, Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with trumpets;
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 Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malchijah, Elam, and Ezer. The singers sang loud, with Jezrahiah their overseer.
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.
They offered great sacrifices that day, and rejoiced, for God had made them rejoice with great joy; and the women and the children also rejoiced, so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard even far away.
44 Ní àkókò náà, a yan àwọn ènìyàn láti jẹ́ alábojútó yàrá ìṣúra fún àwọn ọrẹ àkọ́so èso àti àwọn ìdámẹ́wàá.

On that day, men were appointed over the rooms for the treasures, for the wave offerings, for the first fruits, and for the tithes, to gather into them according to the fields of the cities the portions appointed by the law for the priests and Levites; for Judah rejoiced for the priests and for the Levites who served.
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 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 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 in the days of David and Asaph of old there was a chief of the singers, and 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.
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.
