²²As for the Levites, in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, and Johanan, and Jaddua, there were recorded the heads of fathers’ households; also the priests, in 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 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.

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

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

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 porters keeping the watch 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.

²⁷At 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.

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.

²⁸The sons of the singers gathered themselves together, both out of the plain around 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 them villages around Jerusalem.

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

³⁰The 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.

³¹Then I brought up the princes of Judah 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;

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 brothers, Shemaiah, and Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, and Judah, Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God; and Ezra the scribe was 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:

³⁷By the spring gate, and straight before 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.

³⁸The 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 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 above the gate of Ephraim, and by the old gate, and by the fish gate, and the tower of Hananel, and the tower of Hammeah, even to the sheep gate: and they stood still in the gate of the guard.

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.

⁴⁰So stood the two companies of those who gave thanks in God’s house, 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, and 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. The singers sang loud, with Jezrahiah their overseer.

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

⁴³They offered great sacrifices that day, and rejoiced; for God had made them rejoice with great joy; and the women also and the children rejoiced: so that 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.

⁴⁴On that day were men 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 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.

⁴⁵They performed the duty of their God, and the duty of the purification, and so did the singers and the porters, 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 in the days of David and Asaph of old there was a chief of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving 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.

⁴⁷All Israel in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah, gave the portions of the singers and the porters, 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.

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.
