Nehemia 12

1 Na ko nga tohunga enei, me nga Riwaiti, i haere tahi i a Herupapera tama a Haratiera raua ko Hehua: ara ko Heraia, ko Heremaia, ko Etera,

Now these are the priests and the Levites, that went up with Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, and Josue: Saraia, Jeremias, Esdras,

7 Ko Haru, ko Amoko, ko Hirikia, ko Ieraia. Ko nga ariki enei o nga tohunga, o o ratou teina hoki, i nga ra o Hehua.

Idaia. These were the chief of the priests, and of their brethren in the days of Josue.

8 Na, ko nga Riwaiti; ko Hehua, ko Pinui, ko Karamiere, ko Herepia, ko Hura, ko Matania, kei a ia nei te tikanga mo te whakawhetai, kei a ia, ratou ko ona teina.

And the Levites, Jesua, Bennui, Cedmihel, Sarebia, Juda, Mathanias, they and their brethren were over the hymns:

9 Na ko Pakapukia raua ko Uni, o ratou teina, kei to ratou aroaro i nga tiakanga.

And Becbecia, and Hanni, and their brethren every one in his office.

10 Na ka whanau ake ta Hehua; ko Ioiakimi; whanau ake ta Ioiakimi, ko Eriahipi; whanau ake ta Eriahipi, ko Ioiara.

And Josue beget Joacim, and Joacim beget Eliasib, and Eliasib beget Joiada,

11 Whanau ake ta Ioiara, ko Honatana; whanau ake ta Honatana, ko Tarua;

And Joiada beget Jonathan, and Jonathan beget Jeddoa.

12 Na, i nga ra o Ioiakimi, tera nga tohunga, ko nga ariki o nga whare o nga matua; ta Heraia, ko Meraia; ta Heremaia, ko Hanania;

And in the days of Joacim the priests and heads of the families were: Of Saraia, Maraia: of Jeremias, Hanania:

13 Ta Etera, ko Mehurama; ta Amaria, ko Iehohanana;

Of Esdras, Mosollam: and of Amaria, Johanan:

14 Ta Meriku, ko Honatana; ta Hepania, ko Hohepa;

Of Milicho, Jonathan: of Sebenia, Joseph:

15 Ta Harimi, ko Arana, ta Meraioto, ko Herekai;

Of Haram, Edna: of Maraioth, Helci:

16 Ta Iro, ko Hakaraia; ta Kinetono, ko Mehurama;

Of Adaia, Zacharia: of Genthon, Mosollam:

Of Abia, Zechri: of Miamin and Moadia, Phelti:

18 Ta Pirika, ko Hamua; ta Hemaia, ko Honatana;

21 Ta Hirikia, ko Hahapia; ta Ieraia, ko Netaneere.

Of Helcias, Hasebia: of Idaia, Nathanael.

22 Ko nga Riwaiti i nga ra i a Eriahipi, i a Ioiara, i a Iohanana, i a Tarua, he mea tuhituhi hei ariki mo nga whare o nga matua: me nga tohunga ano i te wa e kingi ana a Tariuha o Pahia.

The Levites the chiefs of the families in the days of Eliasib, and Joiada, and Johanan, and Jeddoa, were recorded, and the priests in the reign of Darius the Persian.

23 Ko nga tama a Riwai, ko nga ariki o nga whare o nga matua, he mea tuhituhi ki te pukapuka o nga ra, a tae noa ki nga ra o Iohanana tama a Eriahipi.

The sons of Levi, heads of the families were written in the book of Chronicles, even unto the days of Jonathan the son of Eliasib.

24 A ko nga ariki o nga Riwaiti; ko Hahapia, ko Herepia, ko Hehua tama a Karamiere, me o ratou teina ano i te ritenga mai o ratou, hei whakamoemiti, hei whakawhetai; ko te mea hoki ia i whakahaua e ta te Atua tangata, e Rawiri, tenei tiakanga i te ritenga mai o tenei tiakanga.

Now the chief of the Levites were Hasebia, Serebia, and Josue the son of Cedmihel: and their brethren by their courses, to praise and to give thanks according to the commandment of David the man of God, and to wait equally in order.

25 Ko Matania, ko Pakapukia, ko Oparia, ko Mehurama, ko Taramono, ko Akupu nga kaitiaki kuwaha, hei tiaki i nga whare taonga i nga kuwaha.

Mathania, and Becbecia, Obedia, and Mosollam, Telmon, Accub, were keepers of the gates and of the entrances before the gates.

26 No nga ra enei i a Ioiakimi tama a Hehua tama a Iohereke, no nga ra ano hoki i a Nehemia kawana, i a Etera tohunga, i te karaipi ra.

These were in the days of Joacim the son of Josue, the son of Josedec, and in the days of Nehemias the governor, and of Esdras the priest and scribe.

27 Na, i te tainga o te kawa o te taiepa o Hiruharama, i rapua nga Riwaiti i o ratou wahi katoa, i meatia kia kawea ki Hiruharama, kia taia hoki te kawa i runga i te koa, i te whakawhetai, i te waiata, i te himipora, i te hatere, i te hapa.

And at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought the Levites out of all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem, and to keep the dedication, and to rejoice with thanksgiving, and with singing, and with cymbals, and psalteries and harps.

28 I huihui mai ano nga tama a nga kaiwaiata i te mania i nga taha katoa o Hiruharama, i nga kainga ano hoki o nga Netopati;

And the sons of the singing men were gathered together out of the plain country about Jerusalem, and out of the villages of Nethuphati,

29 I Petekirikara ano, i nga mara hoki o Kepa, o Atamawete; i hanga hoki e nga kaiwaiata he kainga mo ratou ki nga taha katoa o Hiruharama.

And from the house of Galgal, and from the countries of Geba and Azmaveth: for the singing men had built themselves villages round about Jerusalem.

30 Na kei te pure nga tohunga ratou ko nga Riwaiti i a ratou; kei te pure hoki i te iwi, i nga kuwaha, i te taiepa.

And the priests and the Levites purified, and they purified the people, and the gates, and the wall.

31 Katahi ka kawea e ahau nga rangatira o Hura ki runga ki te taiepa, a whakaritea ana e ahau kia rua nga ropu nui hei whakawhetai, kotahi hei haere ki matau i runga i te taiepa whaka te keti paranga paru:

And I made the princes of Juda go up upon the wall, and I appointed two great choirs to give praise. And they went on the right hand upon the wall toward the dunghill gate.

32 A i muri i a ratou ka haere ko Hohaia me tetahi tanga o nga rangatira o Hura,

And after them went Osaias, and half of the princes of Juda,

33 A Ataria, a Etera, a Mehurama,

And Azarias, Esdras, and Mosollam,

34 A Hura, a Pineamine, a Hemaia, a Heremaia,

Judas, and Benjamin, and Semeia, and Jeremias.

35 Me etahi o nga tama a nga tohunga e mau tetere ana; me Hakaraia tama a Honatana, tama a Hemaia, tama a Matania, tama a Mikaia, tama a Takuru, tama a Ahapa:

And of the sons of the priests with trumpets, Zacharias the son of Jonathan. the son of Semeia, the son of Mathania; the son of Michaia, the son of Zechur, the son of Asaph,

36 Me ona teina, ara a Hemaia, a Atareere, a Mirarai, a Kirarai, a Maai, a Netaneere, a Hura, a Hanani, e mau ana i nga mea whakatangi a ta te Atua tangata, a Rawiri: a ko Etera karaipi kei to ratou aroaro.

And his brethren Semeia, and Azareel Malalai, Galalai, Maai, Nathanael, and Judas, and Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God: and Esdras the scribe before them at the fountain gate.

37 Na i te keti o te puna wai, i te ritenga mai ano o ratou, ka haere atu ratou i nga kaupae o te pa o Rawiri, i te pinakitanga o te taiepa i runga i te whare o Rawiri, tae noa ki te keti wai ki te rawhiti.

And they went up over against them by the stairs of the city of David, at the going up of the wall of the house of David, and to the water gate eastward:

38 Na, ko tera atu ropu o nga kaiwhakawhetai i haere ki te whakatutaki i a ratou, me ahau i muri i a ratou, me tetahi tanga o te iwi i runga i te taiepa, i runga o te taumaihi oumu tae noa ki te taiepa whanui:

And the second choir of them that gave thanks went on the opposite side, and I after them, and the half of the people upon the wall, and upon the tower of the furnaces, even to the broad wall,

39 I runga hoki i te keti o Eparaima, i te keti tawhito, i te keti ika, i te taumaihi o Hananeere, i te taumaihi ano o Meaha tae noa ki te keti hipi: a tu tonu ratou ki te keti i te whare herehere.

And above the gate of Ephraim, and above the old gate, and above the fish gate and the tower of Hananeel, and the tower of Emath, and even to the flock gate: and they stood still in the watch gate.

40 Na tu ana nga ropu e rua o nga kaiwhakawhetai ki te whare o te Atua, matou tahi ko tetahi tanga o nga rangatira,

And the two choirs of them that gave praise stood still at the house of God, and I and the half of the magistrates with me.

41 Ko nga tohunga; ko Eriakimi, ko Maaheia, ko Miniamini, ko Mikaia, ko Erioenai, ko Hakaraia, ko Hanania, e mau tetere ana;

And the priests, Eliachim, Maasia, Miamin, Michea, Elioenai, Zacharia, Hanania with trumpets,

42 Ko Maaheia, ko Hemaia, ko Ereatara, ko Uti, ko Iehohanana, ko Marakia, ko Erama, ko Etere. Na nui atu te waiata a nga kaiwaiata ratou ko Itirahia, ko te kaitohutohu.

And Maasia, and Semeia, and Eleazar, and Azzi, and Johanan, and Melchia, and Elam, and Ezer. And the singers sung loud, and Jezraia was their overseer:

43 He nui ano nga patunga tapu i patua e ratou i taua rangi, a koa ana ratou: he nui hoki te koa i meinga ai ratou e te Atua kia koa. I koa hoki nga wahine me nga tamariki, no ka rangona mai te koa o Hiruharama i tawhiti.

And they sacrificed on that day great sacrifices, and they rejoiced: for God had made them joyful with great joy: their wives also and their children rejoiced, and the joy of Jerusalem was heard afar off.

44 I whakaritea ano i taua wa etahi kaitirotiro i nga ruma mo nga taonga, mo nga whakahere hapahapai, mo nga hua matamua, mo nga whakatekau; ma ratou e kohikohi ki reira i nga mara o nga pa, nga wahi i whakaritea e te ture ma nga tohunga ratou ko n ga Riwaiti: i koa hoki a Hura ki nga tohunga, ki nga Riwaiti, ki nga mea e minita ana.

They appointed also in that day men over the storehouses of the treasure, for the libations, and for the firstfruits, and for the tithes, that the rulers of the city might bring them in by them in honour of thanksgiving, for the priests and Levites: for Juda was joyful in the priests and Levites that assisted.

45 Na kei te tiaki ratou i nga mea o to ratou Atua, kei te tiaki hoki i te purenga, a i pera ano nga kaiwaiata, me nga kaitiaki kuwaha; rite tonu ki te whakahau a Rawiri raua ko tana tama, ko Horomona.

And they kept the watch of their God, and the observance of expiation, and the singing men, and the porters, according to the commandment of David, and of Solomon his son.

46 No nga ra hoki o Rawiri raua ko Ahapa, nonamata iho, tera ano te rangatira mo nga kaiwaiata, me nga waiata whakamoemiti, me nga whakawhetai ki te Atua.

For in the days of David and Asaph from the beginning there were chief singers appointed, to praise with canticles, and give thanks to God.

47 I nga ra hoki i a Herupapera, i nga ra ano i a Nehemia, i homai e Iharaira katoa nga wahi ma nga kaiwaiata, ma nga kaitiaki kuwaha, te wahi mo tenei ra, mo tenei ra: i whakatapua ano e ratou nga mea tapu ma nga Riwaiti; a ko nga Riwaiti hei whak atapu ma nga tama a Arona.

And all Israel, in the days of Zorobabel, and in the days of Nehemias gave portions to the singing men, and to the porters, day by day, and they sanctified the Levites, and the Levites sanctified the sons of Aaron.
