1 Now these are the priests and the Levites who went up with Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua: Seraiah, Jeremiah, Ezra,

8 Moreover the Levites were Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, and Mattaniah, who was over the thanksgiving songs, he and his brothers.
[Mwet Levi]: Mwet inge pa fosrngakin alullul ke on in sang kulo: Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, ac Mattaniah.
9 Also Bakbukiah and Unno, their brothers, were close to them according to their offices.
Mwet inge pa yuk on in asupangi: Bakbukiah, Unno, ac mwet Levi wialtal.
10 Jeshua became the father of Joiakim, and Joiakim became the father of Eliashib, and Eliashib became the father of Joiada,
Joshua pa papa tumal Joiakim, su papa tumal Eliashib, su papa tumal Joiada,
11 and Joiada became the father of Jonathan, and Jonathan became the father of Jaddua.
su papa tumal Jonathan, su papa tumal Jaddua.
12 In the days of Joiakim were priests, heads of fathers’ households: of Seraiah, Meraiah; of Jeremiah, Hananiah;
Ke pacl se Joiakim el Mwet Tol Fulat, mwet inge pa mwet kol lun kais sie sou in mwet tol: Meraiah in sou lal Seraiah, Hananiah in sou lal Jeremiah,

22 As for the Levites, in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, Johanan, and Jaddua, there were recorded the heads of fathers’ households; also the priests, in the reign of Darius the Persian.
Simisyukla inen mwet nukewa su sifen sou lun mwet Levi ac sou lun mwet tol ke pacl Mwet Tol Fulat inge srakna moul: Eliashib, Joiada, Jonathan ac Jaddua. Ma simusla se inge tufah aksafyeyukla ke pacl se Darius el leum fulat lun Persia nufon.
23 The sons of Levi, heads of fathers’ households, were written in the book of the chronicles, even until the days of Johanan the son of Eliashib.
Tusruktu, inen sifen sou lun mwet Levi tuh filiyuki in ma simusla fulat nwe ke na pacl lal Jonathan, wen nutin natul Eliashib.
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.
Ye kolyuk lal Hashabiah, Sherebiah, Jeshua, Binnui, ac Kadmiel, mwet Levi elos kitakatelik nu ke u. Kais luo u elos oru on in asupangi in kaksakin God ac sang kulo nu sel, fal nu ke oakwuk ma tuh orekla sel Tokosra David, mwet lun God.
25 Mattaniah, Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, and Akkub were gatekeepers keeping the watch at the storehouses of the gates.
Pa inge inen mwet topang ke mutunpot lun Tempul su liyaung infukil in filma sisken mutunpot lun Tempul: Mattaniah, Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, ac Akkub.
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.
Mwet inge moul in pacl lal Joiakim, wen natul Joshua, wen natul Jehozadak, ac in pacl sac Nehemiah el governor, ac Ezra, mwet sasla ke Ma Sap, el mwet tol.
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.
Ke pacl se pot lun siti Jerusalem kisaiyukla, utukeni mwet Levi liki acn nukewa elos muta we, tuh elos in wi akfulatye len in kisa ke pusren on in sang kulo oayapa ke pusren cymbal ac harp.
28 The sons of the singers gathered themselves together, both out of the plain around Jerusalem and from the villages of the Netophathites;
Sou in on lun mwet Levi elos fahsreni liki acn elos oakwuk we rauneak Jerusalem, ac liki inkul ma rauneak acn Netophah,
29 also from Beth Gilgal and out of the fields of Geba and Azmaveth, for the singers had built themselves villages around Jerusalem.
oayapa liki Bethgilgal, Geba, ac Azmaveth.
30 The priests and the Levites purified themselves; and they purified the people, the gates, and the wall.
Mwet tol ac mwet Levi elos aknasnasyalos sifacna, oayapa elos aknasnasye mwet uh, mutunoa uh, ac pot lun siti uh, fal nu ke oakwuk lun alu lalos.
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;
Nga pangoneni mwet kol lun Judah nu fin pot uh, ac sap tuh elos in kol u lulap luo in fahsr rauni siti uh, ac sang kulo nu sin God. U se meet ut layen layot fin pot uh ac fahsr nu ke Mutunpot Kutkut.
32 and after them went Hoshaiah, with half of the princes of Judah,
Hoshaiah el fahsr tukun mwet on, ac tafu mwet kol lun Judah fahsr tokol.
33 and Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam,
Mwet tol Azariah, Ezra, Meshullam,
34 Judah, Benjamin, Shemaiah, Jeremiah,
Judah, Benjamin, Shemaiah, ac Jeremiah,
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;
elos fahsr tokolos ac uk mwe ukuk. Na Zechariah, wen natul Jonathan, wen natul Shemaiah, wen natul Mattaniah, wen natul Micaiah, wen natul Zaccur in sou lun Asaph,
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.
oayapa mwet wial inge: Shemaiah, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, Judah, ac Hanani, elos nukewa us kain in mwe on ma Tokosra David, mwet lun God, el tuh sritalkin. Ezra, mwet sasla ke Ma Sap, el fahsr meet liki u se inge ke elos takla fahsr.
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.
Sisken Mutunpot Unon elos fanyak ke step ma utyak nu ke Siti sel David, aliki inkul fulat sel Tokosra David, ac folok nu ke kalkal sisken Mutunpot Kof, layen kutulap ke siti ah.
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,
U se akluo sin mwet su fahsr ac sang kulo elos ut layen lasa fin pot uh, ac nga fahsr tokolos wi tafu mwet uh. Kut takla fahsr alukela Tower lun Funyu nu ke Pot Sralap,
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.
ac liki acn sac kut fahsr alukela Mutunpot Ephraim, Mutunpot Jeshanah, Mutunpot Ik, Tower lun Hananel, ac Tower lun Foko, nu ke Mutunpot Sheep. Kut aksafye fahsr lasr apkuran nu ke mutunpot nu ke Tempul.
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;
Ou inge u luo kewa su sang kulo nu sin God elos sun acn ma Tempul oan we. Sayen mwet kol su wiyu,
41 and the priests, Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with trumpets;
oasr pac mwet tol ke u se luk inge, su uk mwe ukuk: Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, ac Hananiah;
42 and Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malchijah, Elam, and Ezer. The singers sang loud, with Jezrahiah their overseer.
na mwet fahsr tokolos pa Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malchijah, Elam, ac Ezer. Mwet on elos on ke pusra lulap, ac Jezrahiah el mwet kol lalos.
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.
Ke len sac, mwet uh kisakin mwe kisa puspis, ac elos sessesla ke engan mweyen God El oru tuh elos in arulana engan. Mutan ac tulik elos wi pac akfulat, ac pusren mwet nukewa arulana yohk, ku in lohngyuk oe yen loessula.
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.
In pacl sac itukyang kutu mukul in fosrngakin infukil in filma, yen mwe sang ma orekeni lun Tempul karinginyuk we, weang sie tafu singoul in mwe kosrani lalos, ac fahko se meet ke kais sie yac ke wheat ac fokinsak. Ma kunen mukul inge in eisani ma orekeni nu sin mwet tol ac mwet Levi, liki ima in kais sie siti, fal nu ke ma oakwuki in Ma Sap. Mwet Judah nukewa elos insewowo ke mwet tol ac mwet Levi,
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.
mweyen elos orala alu in aknasnas ac oakwuk saya ke alu lalos su God El sapkin. Mwet on lun Tempul ac mwet karingin mutunpot lun Tempul elos oayapa orala ma kunalos fal nu ke oakwuk orekla sel Tokosra David ac Solomon, wen natul.
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.
Mutawauk oe in pacl lal Tokosra David ac Asaph, oasr mwet in kol on in kaksak ac sang kulo nu sin God.
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.
In pacl lal Zerubbabel ac oayapa pacl lal Nehemiah, mwet Israel nukewa sang mwe lung ke kais sie len in mwe kasru nu sin mwet on ac mwet karingin mutunpot lun Tempul. Mwet uh sang mwe sang mutal nu sin mwet Levi, ac mwet Levi elos sang ip ma oakwuki tuh in ma lun mwet tol.
