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

⁸ Lawitey mo neeya: Yesuwa, da Binnuwi, da Kadmiyel, da Serebiya, da Yahuda, da Mattaniya, nga kaŋ go saabuyaŋ dooney sanni boŋ, nga nda nga nya-izey.

²² Lawitey binde, Eliyasib jirbey ra i na Yoyada da Yohanan da Yadduwa lasaabu kaayey windi arkusuyaŋ, ngey nda alfagey mo, Persanca Dariyus koytara zamana ra.

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.

²³ Lawitey kaayey windi arkusey mo, i n'i hantum Baaru Tira ra hal a koy ka to Yohanan Eliyasib izo jirbey ra.

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.

²⁴ Lawitey do haray arkusey mo neeya: Hasabiya, da Serebiya, da Yesuwa Kadmiyel izo, da ngey nya-izey kaŋ yaŋ g'i gaa, zama i ma saabuyaŋ te mo Irikoy bora Dawda lordo boŋ, jama-da-jama.

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

²⁵ Mattaniya, da Bakbuciya, da Obadiya, da Mesullam, da Talmon, da Akkub -- ngey no ga ti Irikoy windo me batukoy. I ga meyey jarga jisiri nangey batu mo.

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.

²⁶ Woone yaŋ, Yoyacim Yesuwa izo jirbey ra wane yaŋ no: Yozadak izo, da mayraykoyo Nehemiya jirbey ra mo, da hantumkwa Alfa Ezra.

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.

²⁷ Alwaato kaŋ i na Urusalima birni cinaro fay waani mo, i na Lawitiyaŋ ceeci i nangey kulu ra, zama i ma kand'ey Urusalima, zama i ma fay waaniyaŋ bato haggoy da bine kaani, da saabuyaŋ, da baytuyaŋ, i ma can-caŋ da moolo kayna da moolo beeri yaŋ kar.

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

²⁸ Doonkoy izey mo margu ka fun Urusalima windanta batama ra, da Netofa kawyey ra,

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

²⁹ da Bayt-Jilgal mo, da Geba nangey, da Azmabet waney, zama ngey din, doonkoy jin ka kawyeyaŋ cina ngey boŋ se Urusalima windanta.

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

³⁰ Alfagey da Lawitey mo na ngey boŋ hanandi. I na jama mo hanandi, da birno meyey, da birni windanta cinaro.

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.

³¹ Waato din gaa no ay kaaru birni cinaro boŋ, in da Yahuda laabukoyey. Ay na doonkoy jama hinka suuban kaŋ yaŋ ga saabuyaŋ te, i ma sasare ka dira care banda. I ra jama fa ma gana kambe ŋwaari gaa haray birni cinaro boŋ ka koy Birji Meyo do haray.

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

³² I banda mo Hoseya dake i gaa, da Yahuda laabukoy jarey,

³³and Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam,

³³ da Azariya, da Ezra, da Mesullam,

³⁴Judah and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah,

³⁴ da Yahuda, da Benyamin, da Semaya, da Irimiya,

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;

³⁵ da alfaga ize fooyaŋ kaŋ yaŋ gonda hilliyaŋ i banda. Zakariya Yonata izo, Semaya ize, Mattaniya ize, Mikaya ize, Zakkur ize, Asaf ize go no,

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.

³⁶ da nga nya-izey Semaya, da Azarel, da Milalay, da Jilalay, da Maay, da Netanel, da Yahuda, da Hanani. Ngey no ka bara nda Irikoy bora Dawda dooni jinayey, hantumkwa Ezra mo go i jine.

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.

³⁷ I kaaru Hari-mo Meyo do haray, ka koy jina sururu. I kaaru Dawda birno kaarimi harey boŋ, birni cinaro zijanta, hala Dawda windo boŋ beene, kal a ma kaa ka to Hari Meyo gaa kaŋ ga wayna funay haray guna.

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;

³⁸ I jama fa mo kaŋ yaŋ ga saabuyaŋo te koy k'i kubay. Ay mo go g'i gana, in da jama jare fa ay banda birni cinaro boŋ, Feema Cinari Kuuko boŋ, ka kaa hala Cinari Tafa din do.

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.

³⁹ Ifraymu Meyo boŋ mo, da Me Zeena do koyne, da Hamisa Meyo do mo, da Hananeyel Cinari Kuuko do, da Zangu Cinari Kuuko do, hal a ma kaa Feeji Meyo do, i kay noodin surum! Batukoy Meyo do.

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

⁴⁰ Yaadin no jama hinka din kaŋ yaŋ ga saabuyaŋ te Irikoy windo ra kay d'a, in da dabarikooney jara kaŋ yaŋ go ay bande.

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

⁴¹ Alfagey mo, ngey: Eliyacim, da Maaseya, da Minyamin, da Mikaya, da Eliyowenay, da Zakariya, da Hananiya gonda hilliyaŋ i banda.

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.

⁴² Maaseya mo go no, da Semaya, da Eliyezar, da Uzzi, da Yehohanan, da Malciya, da Elam, da Ezer. Doonkoy mo na jinde sambu gumo, ngey d'i jine bora Yezrahiya.

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.

⁴³ I na sargay beeriyaŋ salle han din hane. I go ga farhã, zama Irikoy naŋ han din hane i ma farhã gumo da bine kaani. Wayborey da zankey, ngey mo farhã, hala baa nangu mooro i ga maa Urusalima farhãyaŋo yooja.

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.

⁴⁴ Han din hane no i na boroyaŋ daŋ jinay jisiyaŋ fuwey sanni boŋ, beene sambuyaŋ sargayey sabbay se, da boŋ-jina wane, da zakka wane mo, zama i m'i margu i ra ka fun birney windanta farey ra, mate kaŋ i daŋ asariya* ra alfagey da Lawitey sabbay se. Zama Yahuda kunda maa kaani alfagey da Lawitey sabbay se kaŋ yaŋ goono ga kay Irikoy windo goyo ra k'a te.

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.

⁴⁵ I na ngey Irikoyo goyo haggoy, da hanandiyaŋ goyo mo. Yaadin mo no doonkoy da windi me batukoy te Dawda nda nga izo Suleymanu lordo boŋ.

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.

⁴⁶ Zama Dawda jirbey ra, da waato Asaf waney, doonkoy jine boro go no. Dooniyaŋ go no mo, saabuyaŋ da sifayaŋ wane yaŋ, Irikoy se.

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.

⁴⁷ Israyla kulu binde, Zerubabel jirbey, da Nehemiya jirbey ra, i na doonkoy baa da batukoy wano mo no zaari kulu muraadey boŋ. I na baa fay waani mo Lawitey sabbay se. Lawitey mo na Haruna izey wano fay waani.
