24 The chiefs of the Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua the son of Kadmiel, with their brothers close to them, to praise and give thanks according to the commandment of David the man of God, section next to section.

Hichea chun Mattaniah Bakbukiah chuleh Obadiah jong ana panguve. Meshullam, Talmon, chule Akkub chu kelkot phunga thilkeo koina indan chu angahtup ma panga ahiuve.
26 These were in the days of Joiakim the son of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor, and of Ezra the priest and scribe.
Amaho hin Jehozadok chapa Jeshua chapa Joiakim chule gamvaipo Nehemiah leh thempulen danthu them Ezra khanglaiya ana toh’u ahi.
27 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.
Jerusalem kulpi bang athah chu thensona kin na hi ahung kithopina diuvin gamsung muntin na um Levite chu akoukhom uvin ahi. Amaho chun atumgingu thih pheng kisai gin, selangdah ginleh semjang kisaiging puma hiche kin loupia hi thangvah na lasah puma thanomtah a pan alah u ahi.
28 The sons of the singers gathered themselves together, both out of the plain around Jerusalem and from the villages of the Netophathites;
Jerusalem vel'a Netophath mite khohoa kona lasa ho akhom soh keiyun ahi.
29 also from Beth Gilgal and out of the fields of Geba and Azmaveth, for the singers had built themselves villages around Jerusalem.
Beth-gilgal leh thinglhang gam Geba leh Azmaveth kom veldunga konin jong ahungun ahi. Ajeh chu lasa miho hin Jerusalem veldunga chu chenmun ana kisem u ahi.
30 The priests and the Levites purified themselves; and they purified the people, the gates, and the wall.
Thempu hole Levite chu amasan ama hole amaho akisutheng un chu jouvin mipi hole kelkot ho chule kulpi bang chu asuthengun ahi.
31 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 toward the dung gate;
Keiman Juda lamkai ho chu kulpi bang chunga chun kapuijin thangvah na pe dingin lathem hon ni kaga gong toh'in ahi. Lathem honkhat chu Eh-Kelkot lang ajonun, lathem honkhat chun lhanglam ajonun Eh-Kelkot lang kulpi bang chung langa chun aheuvin ahi.
32 and after them went Hoshaiah, with half of the princes of Judah,
Hoshiah leh Judah lamkai akehkhat in ajuijun ahi.
33 and Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam,
Azariah, Ezra, Meshullam;
34 Judah, Benjamin, Shemaiah, Jeremiah,
Judah, Benjamin, Shemaiah, chuleh Jeremiah jong ahiuve.
35 and some of the priests’ sons with trumpets: Zechariah the son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Micaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph;
Hicheng jou chun sumkon mut thempu ho phabep ahungun Jonathan chapa Zachariah, Shemaiah chapa, Mettaniah chapa, Mecaiah chapa, Zaccur chapa, Asaph chilhah hojonghi apanguve.
36 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.
Chuleh Zechariah tohkhompi ho chu Shemaiah, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, Judah chuleh Hanani ahiuve. Chule amaho hin Pathen mipa David in anasuh tohsa tumging thei ho chu ana mang hauvin ahi. Ezra in mipi kijot ho chu ana lamkaiyin ahi.
37 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.
Twikhuh kelkot na kon chun khopi kulpi banga kal touna kalbia chun jangpet in acheuvin David khopi lang ajonun ahi. Amahon David inchu aho paovin chuin solang Twi Kelkot lang chu ajon’un ahi.
38 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,
Lathem hon ni na ho chun thangvah pumin sahlang ajonun lang khat lam a chun avel’un ama hotoh kimuto dingin acheuvin ahi. Kenjong amaho nung kajuiyin mipi akehkhat chutoh kalhonne, kulpi bang vumma kacheuvin meikhulong hung kitundoh chungvum langa kacheuvin, kulpi bang ningkoi lang geiyin kacheuve.
39 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.
Chuin Ephraim kelkot chunglam a kacheuvin, kelkot luilang Nga Kelkot kom Hananel insung lam, Kelngoi hong Kelkot phung geiyin kacheuvin ahi, chujouvin miho chu kelkot ngah ho din munna chun ahung ding uvin ahi.
40 So the two companies of those who gave thanks in God’s house stood, and I and the half of the rulers with me;
Lathem hon ni ho chun thangvah na la sa pumin Pathen houin lang chu ajon’un hilaiya chun apansa tauve. Keileh kaki lhonpi lamkai ho jong hilaiya chun kaum tauve.
41 and the priests, Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with trumpets;
Keiho chu sumkon mut thempu ho Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah chuleh Hananiah;
42 and Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malchijah, Elam, and Ezer. The singers sang loud, with Jezrahiah their overseer.
Chule lasaho- Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazer, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malkijah, Elam chuleh Ezer, mi hicheng hitoh kaki lhonun ahi. Amahon lathem lamkaipa Jezrahiah mapuina in tum ging toh thon hasah in asauvin ahi.
43 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.
Hiche kipa thanop ni chun pumgo thilto tamtah anatoh doh’un ahi, ajeh chu Pathenin mipi chu kipana lentah anapen ahi. Hiche golnop nikhoa hin numei le chapang ho jong ana pangun chule Jerusalem mipite kipana ogin chu gamla tah a konin jong akijan ahi.
44 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.
Hiche nikho chun maicham ma hung kitoh doh ho, lhosohga masa hung kitoh hole hopsom hung kitohdoh ho kholna indan ho vesui dingin mi phabep akipansah in ahi. Danthun angeh dungjuiya thempu hole Levite chanding dol khopi pamlanga chengho koma hindong dingin amaho chun mopohna aneijun ahi. Ajeh chu Judah mipite hin thempu hole Levite natoh na a hin alunglhai lheh jengun ahi.
45 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.
Amahon David leh achapa Solomon ana thupeh bangin Pathen kin leh kisuh thengna kin hi atongun ahi, chuleh lasa a pang hole kelkot ngah hon jong ajongun ahi.
46 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.
Vahchoi la le Pathen thangvah na lasah na a lathem ho lamkai ding tohgon chu David le Asaph nikho lai peh a patna hung che jom peh ahi.
47 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.
Hiti chun Zerubbabel le Nehemiah khang hin Israel mipiten lasa hole kelkot ngah ho chule Levite neh le chah ding niseh in ahin pohpeh jiuvin ahi. Levite chun amahoa thilmua kon chun Aaron chilhah thempuho ding phabep ape jiuvin ahi.
