22The Levites in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, and Johanan, and Jaddua, were recorded chief of the fathers: also the priests, to the reign of Darius the Persian.
23Vanakomana vaRevhi ivo vakuru vedzimba dzamadzibaba, vakanyorwa pabhuku yaMakoronike, kusvikira pamazuva aJohwanani mwanakomana waEriashibhi.
23The sons of Levi, the chief of the fathers, were written in the book of the chronicles, even until the days of Johanan the son of Eliashib.
24Vakuru vavaRevhi vakanga vari: Hashabhia, naSherebhia, naJeshua, mwanakomana waKadhimieri, nehama dzavo dzakatarisana navo pakurumbidza nokuvonga, sezvakanga zvarairwa naDhavhidhi munhu waMwari, vachiita madzoro pakuimba.
24And the chief of the 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.
25Matania, naBhakibhukia, naObhadhiya, naMeshurami, naTarimoni, naAkubhi vakanga vari varindi vemikova, vairinda pamatura pamasuwo.
25Mattaniah, and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub, were porters keeping the ward at the thresholds of the gates.
26Ndivo vakanga varipo pamazuva aJoyakimu mwanakomana waJeshua, mwanakomana waJozadhaki,. napamazuva aNehemiya mubati, nomupristi Ezira munyori.
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.
27Zvino pakutsaurira kwavo Jehovha rusvingo rweJerusaremu, vakandotsvaka vaRevhi pose pavakanga vagere, vakauya navo Jerusaremu, kuti vatsaure nomufaro, nokuvonga nokuimba, nokuridza makandira nemitengeramwa nembira.
27And 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 thanksgivings, and with singing, with cymbals, psalteries, and with harps.
28Vanakomana vavaimbi vakaungana pamwechete vachibva kumapani akapoteredza Jerusaremu, nokumisha yavaNetofati;
28And the sons of the singers gathered themselves together, both out of the plain country round about Jerusalem, and from the villages of Netophathi;
29napaBhetigirigari, naparuwa rweGebha neAzimavheti; nekuti vaimbi vakanga vazvivakira misha pamativi ose eJerusaremu.
29Also from the house of Gilgal, and out of the fields of Geba and Azmaveth: for the singers had builded them villages round about Jerusalem.
30Zvino vapristi navaRevhi vakazvinatsa, ndokunatsawo vanhu, namasuwo, norusvingo.
30And the priests and the Levites purified themselves, and purified the people, and the gates, and the wall.
31Ipapo ndakakwidza machinda avaJudha pamusoro porusvingo, ndikaraira mapoka makuru maviri vakavonga vachifamba vakaita mudungwe; vamwe vakafamba kurutivi rworudyi pamusoro porusvingo, vachienda kusuwo ramarara;
31Then I brought up the princes of Judah upon the wall, and appointed two great companies of them that gave thanks, whereof one went on the right hand upon the wall toward the dung gate:
32shure kwavo kwakafamba Hosaya, nehafu yamachinda aJudha,
32And after them went Hoshaiah, and half of the princes of Judah,
33naAzaria, naEzira, naMeshurami,
33And Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam,
34naJudha, naBhenjamini, naShemaya, naJeremiya,
34Judah, and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah,
35navamwe vanakomana vavapristi vane hwamanda. Zekariya, mwanakomana waJonatani, mwanakomana waShemaya, mwanakomana waMatania, mwanakomana waMikaya, mwanakomana waZakuri, mwanakomana waAsafi,
35And certain of the priests' sons with trumpets; namely, Zechariah the son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Michaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph:
36nehama dzake: Shemaya, naAzareri, naMirarai, naGirarai, naMaai, naNetaneri, naJudha, naHanani vane zvokuridza zvaDhavhidhi munhu waMwari; Ezira, munyori akanga ari pamberi pavo;
36And his brethren, Shemaiah, and Azarael, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethaneel, and Judah, Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God, and Ezra the scribe before them.
37vakafamba napasuwo retsime, vakarurama, ndokukwira namatanho eguta raDhavhidhi, pamukwidzwa worusvingo, pamusoro peimba yaDhavhidhi, kusvikira pasuwo remvura, kumabvazuva.
37And at the fountain gate, which was over against them, they went up by the stairs of the city of David, at the going up of the wall, above the house of David, even unto the water gate eastward.
38Rimwe boka ravavongi rakandosangana navo, ini ndichivatevera, ndine hafu yavanhu pamusoro porusvingo, pamusoro peshongwe yamavira, kusvikira parusvingo rupamhi;
38And the other company of them that gave thanks went over against them, and I after them, and the half of the people upon the wall, from beyond the tower of the furnaces even unto the broad wall;
39napamusoro pesuwo raEfuremu, napasuwo rekare, napasuwo rehove, neshongwe yaHananeri, neshongwe yaHamea, kusvikira pasuwo ramakwai, vakamira pasuwo ravarindi.
39And from above the gate of Ephraim, and above the old gate, and above the fish gate, and the tower of Hananeel, and the tower of Meah, even unto the sheep gate: and they stood still in the prison gate.
40Mapoka maviri avavongi vakamira saizvozvo paimba yaMwari, neni nehafu yavatariri,
40So stood the two companies of them that gave thanks in the house of God, and I, and the half of the rulers with me:
41navapristi Eriakimu, naMaaseya, naMiniamini, naMikaya, naErionenai, naZekariya, naHanania, vane hwamanda;
41And the priests; Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Michaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with trumpets;
42naMaaseya, naShemaya, naEreazari, naUzi, naJehohanani, naMarikija, naErami, naEzeri. Vaimbi vakaimbisa kwazvo, vana Jezirahia mutariri wavo.
42And Maaseiah, and Shemaiah, and Eleazar, and Uzzi, and Jehohanan, and Malchijah, and Elam, and Ezer. And the singers sang loud, with Jezrahiah their overseer.
43Vakabayira zvibayiro zvikuru nezuva iro, vakafara; nekuti Mwari akanga avafadza nomufaro mukuru; navakadziwo navana vakafara; naizvozvo mufaro weJerusaremu wakanzwika kure.
43Also that day they offered great sacrifices, and rejoiced: for God had made them rejoice with great joy: the wives also and the children rejoiced: so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard even afar off.
44Pazuva iro varume vakagadzwa kutarira makamuri efuma, nezvipiriso zvinotsaurwa, nezvitsva, nezvegumi, kuti vaunganidziremo migove yavapristi neyavaRevhi yakanga yakatarwa nomurau, kuti itorwe paruwa rwamaguta; nekuti vaJudha vakafarira vapristi navaRevhi vaishumira.
44And at that time were some appointed over the chambers for the treasures, for the offerings, for the firstfruits, and for the tithes, to gather into them out of the fields of the cities the portions of the law for the priests and Levites: for Judah rejoiced for the priests and for the Levites that waited.
45Ivo vakachengeta murayiro waMwari wavo, nomurayiro wokunatsa, navaimbi navarindi vemikovawo saizvozvo, sezvakanga zvarairwa naDhavhidhi naSoromoni, mwanakomana wake.
45And both the singers and the porters kept the ward of their God, and the ward of the purification, according to the commandment of David, and of Solomon his son.
46Nekuti pamazuva akare aDhavhidhi naAsafi, kwaiva nomukuru wavaimbi, nenziyo dzokurumbidza nokuvonga Mwari.
46For in the days of David and Asaph of old there were chief of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving unto God.
47Zvino vaIsiraeri vose pamazuva aZerubhabheri, napamazuva aNehemiya, vaipa vaimbi navarindi vemikova migove yavo, yakadikamwa zuva rimwe nerimwe; ivo vaitsaurira vaRevhi, uye vaRevhi vaitsaurira vanakomana vaAroni.
47And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah, gave the portions of the singers and the porters, every day his portion: and they sanctified holy things unto the Levites; and the Levites sanctified them unto the children of Aaron.
