8 And the Levites [are] Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, Mattaniah, he [is] over the thanksgiving, and his brethren,

Ary ny Levita kosa dia izao: Jesoa, Binoy, Kadmiela, Serebia, Joda ary Matania, dia izy ireo sy ny rahalahiny no tonian’ ny fiderana.

9 and Bakbukiah and Unni, their brethren, [are] over-against them in charges.

Ary Bakbokia sy Ono, rahalahin’ ireo, dia nifanandrify tamin’ ny anjara-raharahany.

10 And Jeshua hath begotten Joiakim, and Joiakim hath begotten Eliashib, and Eliashib hath begotten Joiada,

Ary Jesoa niteraka an’ i Joiakima; ary Joiakima niteraka an’ i Eliasiba; ary Eliasiba niteraka an’ i Joiada;

11 and Joiada hath begotten Jonathan, and Jonathan hath begotten Jaddua.

ary Joiada niteraka an’ i Jonatana; ary Jonatana niteraka an’ i Jadoa.

12 And in the days of Joiakim have been priests, heads of the fathers; of Seraiah, Meraiah; of Jeremiah, Hananiah;

Ary tamin’ ny andron’ i Joiakima dia nisy mpisorona, lohan’ ny fianakaviana, dia izao: Ny avy tamin’ i Seraia dia Meraia; ny avy tamin’ i Jeremia dia Hanania;

22 The Levites, in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, and Johanan, and Jaddua, are written, heads of fathers, and of the priests, in the kingdom of Darius the Persian.

Tamin’ ny andron’ i Eliasiba sy Joiada sy Johanana ary Jadoa ny Levita dia voasoratra ho lohan’ ny fianakaviany; ary toy izany koa ny mpisorona, hatramin’ ny nanjakan’ i Dariosy Persiana.

23 Sons of Levi, heads of the fathers, are written on the book of the Chronicles even till the days of Johanan son of Eliashib;

Ny taranak’ i Levy, lohan’ ny fianakaviana, dia voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny tantara hatramin’ ny andron’ i Johanana, zanak’ i Eliasiba.

24 and heads of the Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua son of Kadmiel, and their brethren, [are] over-against them, to give praise, to give thanks, by command of David the man of God, charge over-against charge.

Ary ny lohan’ ny Levita dia Hasabia sy Serebia sy Jesoa, zanak’ i Kadmiela, mbamin’ ny rahalahin’ ireo izay nifanandrify taminy, mba hidera sy hisaotra araka ny didin’ i Davida, lehilahin’ Andriamanitra, nifanandrify isan-tokony.

25 Mattaniah, and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub, [are] gatekeepers, keeping charge in the gatherings of the gates.

Matania, Bakbokia, Obadia, Mesolama, Talmona sy Akoba no mpiandry varavarana ka nitandrina ny fiambenana amin’ ny trano firaketana.

26 These [are] in the days of Joiakim son of Jeshua, son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor, and of Ezra the priest, the scribe.

Ireo no tamin’ ny andron’ i Joiakima, zanak’ i Jesoa, zanak’ i Jozadaka, sy tamin’ ny andron’ i Nehemia governora sy Ezra mpisorona sady mpanora-dalàna.

27 And at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought the Levites out of all their places, to bring them in to Jerusalem, to make the dedication even with gladness, and with thanksgivings, and with singing, [with] cymbals, psalteries, and with harps;

Ary rehefa hitokanana ny mandan’ i Jerosalema, dia nitady ny Levita avy tamin’ ny fonenany rehetra izy mba ho entina any Jerosalema hanao ny fitokanana amin’ ny fifaliana sy ny fiderana ary ny hira mbamin’ ny kipantsona sy ny valiha ary ny lokanga.

28 and sons of the singers are gathered together even from the circuit round about Jerusalem, and from the villages of Netophathi,

Dia niangona ny mpihira avy tamin’ ny tany lemaka manodidina an’ i Jerosalema sy ny avy tamin’ ny vohitry ny Netofatita

29 and from the house of Gilgal, and from fields of Geba and Azmaveth, for villages have the singers built for themselves round about Jerusalem;

sy Beti-gilgala ary ny sahan’ i Geba sy Azmaveta; fa efa nanao vohitra ho azy manodidina an’ i Jerosalema ny mpihira.

30 and the priests and the Levites are cleansed, and they cleanse the people, and the gates, and the wall.

Ary ny mpisorona sy ny Levita samy nanadio ny tenany, ary nodioviny koa ny olona sy ny vavahady ary ny manda.

31 And I bring up the heads of Judah upon the wall, and appoint two great thanksgiving companies and processions. At the right, on the wall, to the dung-gate;

Dia nasaiko niakatra eo ambonin’ ny manda ny mpanapaka ny Joda, ary nanendry mpanao fiderana roa tonta aho handeha milahatra tsara. Ny irai-dia nandeha tamin’ ny ankavanana teo ambonin’ ny manda ho amin’ ny vavahadin-jezika;

32 and after them goeth Hoshaiah, and half of the heads of Judah,

ary nandeha nanarakaraka azy Hosaia sy ny antsasaky ny andriandahin’ ny Joda,

33 and Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam,

dia Azaria sy Ezra sy Mesolama

34 Judah, and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah;

sy Joda sy Benjamina sy Semaia ary Jeremia,

35 and of the sons of the priests with trumpets, Zechariah son of Jonathan, son of Shemaiah, son of Mattaniah, son of Michaiah, son of Zaccur, son of Asaph,

ary ny sasany tamin’ ny taranaky ny mpisorona nitondra trompetra, dia Zakaria, zanak’ i Jonatana, zanak’ i Semaia, zanak’ i Matania, zanak’ i Mikaia, zanak’ i Zakora, zanak’ i Asafa,

36 and his brethren Shemaiah, and Azarael, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethaneel, and Judah, Hanani, with instruments of song of David the man of God, and Ezra the scribe [is] before them;

mbamin’ ny rahalahiny, dia Semaia sy Azarela, Milalay, Gilalay, May, Netanela sy Joda ary Hanany, nitondra ny zava-manenon’ i Davida, lehilahin’ Andriamanitra; ary Ezra mpanora-dalàna nandeha teo alohan’ ireo.

37 and by the gate of the fountain and over-against them, they have gone up by the steps of the city of David, at the going up of the wall beyond the house of David, and unto the water-gate eastward.

Ary hatreo amin’ ny vavahadin-doharano dia nizotra izy ka niakatra tamin’ ny ambaratongan’ ny Tanànan’ i Davida, tamin’ ny fiakarana amin’ ny manda eo ambonin’ ny tranon’ i Davida ka hatramin’ ny vavahadin-drano eo atsinanana.

38 And the second thanksgiving company that is going over-against, and I after it, and half of the people on the wall from beyond the tower of the furnaces and unto the broad wall,

Ary ny mpanao fiderana irai-dia kosa dia nandeha nifanandrify taminy sady narahiko sy ny antsasaky ny olona teo ambonin’ ny manda hatreo ambonin’ ny tilikambo misy ny fatana fandoroana ka hatramin’ ny manda lehibe,

39 and from beyond the gate of Ephraim, and by the old-gate, and by the fish-gate, and the tower of Hananeel, and the tower of Meah, and unto the sheep-gate — and they have stood at the prison-gate.

ary hatreo ambonin’ ny vavahadin’ i Efraima ay teo ambanin’ ny vavahady taloha ary teo ambonin’ ny vavahadin-kazandrano sy ny tilikambo Hananela sy ny tilikambo Hamea, dia hatramin’ ny vavahadin’ ondry; ary nilanona teo amin’ ny vavahadin-trano-maizina izy.

40 And the two thanksgiving companies stand in the house of God, and I and half of the prefects with me,

Dia nijanona tao an-tranon’ Andriamanitra izy roa tonta, ary izaho koa sy ny antsasaky ny mpanapaka izay niaraka tamiko

41 and the priests, Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Michaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, Hananiah, with trumpets,

ary ny mpisorona, dia Eliakima, Mahaseia, Miniamina, Mikaia, Elioenay, Zakaria ary Hanania, nitondra trompetra,

42 and Masseiah, and Shemaiah, and Eleazar, and Uzzi, and Jehohanan, and Malchijah, and Elam, and Ezer, and the singers sound, and Jezrahiah the inspector;

ary Mahaseia sy Semaia sy Eleazara sy Ozy sy Johanana sy Malkia sy Elama ary Ezera. Ary nihira mafy ny mpihira sy Jizrahia, mpifehy azy.

43 and they sacrifice on that day great sacrifices and rejoice, for God hath made them rejoice [with] great joy, and also, the women and the children have rejoiced, and the joy of Jerusalem is heard — unto a distance.

Dia namono zavatra betsaka hatao fanatitra tamin’ izany andro izany izy sady nifaly, fa Andriamanitra nampifaly azy indrindra; ary ny vadiny aman-janany nifaly koa; ka dia re lavitra ny fifaliana tany Jerosalema.

44 And certain are appointed on that day over the chambers for treasures, for heave-offerings, for first-fruits, and for tithes, to gather into them out of the fields of the cities the portions of the law for priests, and for Levites, for the joy of Judah [is] over the priests, and over the Levites, who are standing up.

Ary tamin’ izany andro izany dia nisy olona notendrena hitandrina ny efi-trano fitehirizana ny rakitra sy ny fanatitra asandratra sy ny voaloham-bokatra ary ny fahafolon-karena, mba hangonina ao izay anjara voadidy ho an’ ny mpisorona sy ny Levita avy amin’ ny saha manodidina ny isan-tanana; fa nifalian’ ny Joda ireo mpisorona sy Levita izay nanompo ireo.

45 And the singers and the gatekeepers keep the charge of their God, even the charge of the cleansing — according to the command of David [and] Solomon his son,

Dia nitandrina izay nasaina hotandremany ny amin’ Andriamaniny sy ny amin’ ny fanadiovana izy; ary toy izany koa ny mpihira sy ny mpiandry varavarana, araka ny didin’ i Davida sy Solomona zanany.

46 for in the days of David and Asaph of old [were] heads of the singers, and a song of praise and thanksgiving to God.

Fa fahiny tamin’ ny andron’ i Davida sy Asafa aza dia efa nisy lohan’ ny mpihira sy hira fiderana ary fisaorana an’ Andriamanitra.

47 And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah, are giving the portions of the singers, and of the gatekeepers, the matter of a day in its day, and are sanctifying to the Levites, and the Levites are sanctifying to the sons of Aaron.

Ary ny Isiraely rehetra tamin’ ny andron’ i Zerobabela sy Nehemia nanome ny anaran’ ny mpihira sy ny mpiandry varavarana, dia ny anjarany isan’ andro; ary nanokana izay ho an’ ny Levita izy; ary ny Levita kosa nanokana izay ho an’ ny taranak’ i Arona.
