⁸And the Levites: Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, Mattaniah, [who was] over the thanksgiving, he and his brethren;

⁸Levi mite mah leng: Jesua, Binnui, kadmiel, Serebia, Juda, Mattania, kipahthugenna tunga om, amah leh a unaute.

⁹and Bakbukiah and Unni, their brethren, were over against them as watches.

²²of the Levites, the chief fathers were recorded in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, and Johanan, and Jaddua, and the priests, until the reign of Darius the Persian.

²²Eliasib, Joiada, Johanan, Jaddua damlaiin Levi mite, pipute inkote lupena gelh ahi uh: Persia mi Daria lal laia, siampute tohin.

²³The children of Levi, the chief fathers, were recorded in the book of the chronicles, even until the days of Johanan the son of Eliashib.

²³Levi tapate, pipute inkote lupente, Kronikil laibu ah, Eliasib tapa Johanan damlai tan hiala, gelh ahi.

²⁴And the chief Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua the son of Kadmiel, with their brethren over against them, to praise [and] to give thanks, according to the commandment of David the man of God, ward over against ward.

²⁴Huan Levi mite hausate: Hasabia, Serebia, Jesua, Kadmiel tapa, amau delh a unaute uh, Pathian mi David thupiak dungjuiin, indan leh indan kisuin.

²⁵Mattaniah and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub, were doorkeepers keeping the ward at the storehouses of the gates.

²⁵Mattania, Bakbukia, Obadia, Mesullam, Talmon, Akkub te kongpite sek-ina dantan kem kongkhakngakte ahi uh.

²⁶These 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, the scribe.

²⁶Hiaite Jesua tapa Joiakim, Jozadak tapa damlai, Nehemia ukpipa leh Ezra siampu laigelhmi damlaia om ahi uh.

²⁷And at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought the Levites out of all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem, to hold the dedication with gladness, both with thanksgivings, and with singing, [with] cymbals, lutes and harps.

²⁷Huan Jerusalem kulhbang latna adin a omna tengteng uah Levi mite a zong khia ua, kipahna toh, kipahthugenna leh, lasak, dakkhutbet, tumgingte leh kaihgingte toha Jerusalema amaute honpi dinga, kipahna bawl dingin.

²⁸And the children of the singers were assembled, both from the plain [of Jordan] round about Jerusalem, and from the villages of the Netophathites,

²⁸Huan lasamite tapate a kikai khawm ua, Jerusalem kimvela phaijang akipan leh Netophat mite khotate akipanin;

²⁹also from Beth-Gilgal, and out of the fields of Geba and Azmaveth; for the singers had built themselves hamlets round about Jerusalem.

²⁹Beth-gilgal akipanin leng, Geba leh Azmaveth loute akipanin: lasamiten lah Jerusalem kimvelin khotate a na bawlta ngal ua.

³⁰And the priests and the Levites purified themselves; and they purified the people, and the gates and the wall.

³⁰Huchiin siampute leh Levi mite a kisiangsak ua: mite leh kongpite leh kulhbangte a siang sak uh.

³¹And I brought up the princes of Judah upon the wall, and appointed two great choirs and processions, on the right hand upon the wall towards the dung-gate.

³¹Huchilaiin kulhbang tungah Juda lalte ka pi toua, kipahtugen leh a hona pai pawlpi nih ka sepa; huaiah pawl khat kulhbang tungah ekvum kongpi lamah a pai ua:

³²And after them went Hoshaiah, and half of the princes of Judah,

³²Huan amau nungah Hosai leh, Juda lalte lak a kimkhat,

³³and Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam,

³³Azaria, Ezra, Mesullam,

³⁴Judah and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah,

³⁴Juda, Benjamin, Semaia, Jeremia,

³⁵and [certain] 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;

³⁵Leh siampute tapate laka kuate hiam pengkulte toh: Zekaria Jonathan tapa, Semaia tapa, Mattaria, tapa, Mikaia tapa, Zakkur tapa, Asaph tapa;

³⁶and his brethren, Shemaiah, and Azareel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethaneel, and Judah, Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God; and Ezra the scribe before them.

³⁶A unaute, Simaia, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, Juda, Hanani Pathian mi David tumgingtheih te toh; huan a ma uah Ezra laigelhmi a oma:

³⁷And at the fountain-gate, and over against them, they went up by the stairs of the city of David, at the ascent of the wall, above the house of David, even to the water-gate eastward.

³⁷Tuikhuk kongpi kiangah, a ma jawn tak uah, David khopi dohkang ah a pai tou ua, kulhbang tou paina ah, David in tunglam ah, suahlampanga tui kongpi phain.

³⁸And the second choir went in the opposite direction upon the wall, and I after them, and the half of the people, from beyond the tower of the furnaces even to the broad wall;

³⁸Huan a lak ua pawl dang kipahthugente amaute tuak dingin a pai ua, kei amau nungah, kulhbang tunga, meipi insang tunglamah, kulhbang lian tanphain;

³⁹and from above the gate of Ephraim, and above the gate of the old [wall], and above the fish-gate, and the tower of Hananeel, and the tower of Meah, even to the sheep-gate; and they stood still in the prison-gate.

³⁹Huan Ephraim kongpi tungah, kongpi lui kiang, ngasa kongpi kianga, Hananel insang, Meah insang, belam kongpi tanphain: huan venna kongpi ah a ding kinken uh.

⁴⁰And both choirs stood in the house of God, and I, and the half of the rulers with me;

⁴⁰Huchiin Pathian in sunga kipahthugen bawl nihte leh kei, leh ka kianga vaihawmte laka a kimkhat a ding ua:

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

⁴¹Huan siampute, Eliakim, Maasei, Miniamin, Mikai, Elioenai, Zekaria, Hanania, pengkulte toh;

⁴²and Maaseiah, and Shemaiah, and Eleazar, and Uzzi, and Jehohanan, and Malchijah, and Elam, and Ezer. And the singers sang loud; and Jizrahiah was their overseer.

⁴²Huan Maasei, Semai, Eleazar, Uzzi, Johohanan, Malkija, Elam leh Ezer. Huan lasamiten ngaihtakin, a heutupa uh Jezrahia toh la a sa ua.

⁴³And that day they offered great sacrifices, and rejoiced: for God had made them rejoice with great joy; and also the women and the children rejoiced. And the joy of Jerusalem was heard even afar off.

⁴³Huan huai niin kithoihna thupite a lan ua, nuam a sa uhi; Pathianin lah nuamsakna thupi toh amau nuam a sasak ngala; huchiin numeite leh naupangte toh a kipak uhi: huchiin Jerusalem kipahna gamla pi tana leng jakin a om hi.

⁴⁴And at that time men were appointed over the chambers of the treasures for the heave-offerings, for the first-fruits, and for the tithes, to gather into them, out of the fields of the cities, the portions assigned by the law for the priests and the Levites; for Judah rejoiced over the priests, and over the Levites that waited.

⁴⁴Huan, huai niin thohlawm te, vei thillat te, hai thak masa pente, sawmakhatte koihkhawmna dantantea heutu, danin a seh banga, siampu leh Levite tantuan kho chihin a nahihzoh bang jel ua lakhawmmi dingte a sep ua; Judate bel nasemmi siampute leh Levite jiakin a kipak mahmah uhi.

⁴⁵And, with the singers and the doorkeepers, they kept the ward of their God, and the ward of the purification, according to the commandment of David [and] of Solomon his son.

⁴⁵Huan a Pathian uh indan leh siansakna indan a kem ua, huchibangin lasamite leh kongkhakngakmiten David leh, a tapa Solomon thupiak bangin a hihta uh.

⁴⁶For of old, in the days of David and Asaph, there were the chiefs of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgivings to God.

⁴⁶David leh nidang laia Asaph dam laiin lasami heutupen leh Pathian kianga phatna leh kipahthugenna lasakte lah a om ngala.Huan Zerubbabel damlai leh Nehemia damlaiin Israel tengtengin, ni tenga a kul bangin lasamite leh kongkhakngakmite tantuan a pe jel uhi: huan Levi mite adingin a siangsak ua; huan Aron tapate adingin Levi miten a siangsak uhi.

⁴⁷And all Israel, in the days of Zerubbabel and in the days of Nehemiah, gave the portions of the singers and the doorkeepers, every day what was needed, and they consecrated things for the Levites; and the Levites consecrated for the children of Aaron.

⁴⁷Huan Zerubbabel damlai leh Nehemia damlaiin Israel tengtengin, ni tenga a kul bangin lasamite leh kongkhakngakmite tantuan a pe jel uhi: huan Levi mite adingin a siangsak ua; huan Aron tapate adingin Levi miten a siangsak uhi.
