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.

²²Oo kuwii reer Laawi oo joogay wakhtigii Eliyaashiib, iyo Yooyaadaac, iyo Yooxaanaan iyo Yadduuca waxay ahaayeen madaxda qabiilooyinka oo la qoray; waxaa kaloo la qoray wadaaddadii joogay ilaa boqornimadii Daariyus kii reer Faaris ahaa.

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.

²³Kuwii reer Laawi oo ahaa madaxdii qabiilooyinka waxaa lagu qoray kitaabkii taariikhda tan iyo wakhtigii Yooxaanaan oo ahaa ina Eliyaashiib.

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.

²⁶Kuwaasu waxay joogeen wakhtigii Yooyaaqiim oo ahaa ina Yeeshuuca, ina Yoosaadaaq, iyo wakhtigii taliyihii Nexemyaah ahaa iyo wakhtigii wadaadkii Cesraa oo karraaniga ahaa.

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.

²⁷Oo markii derbigii Yeruusaalem gaar laga dhigay kuwii reer Laawi mid kasta meeshiisii baa laga doondoonay in iyaga Yeruusaalem la keeno si gaarkadhigidda farxad loogu sameeyo, oo mahadnaqid iyo gabay, iyo suxuun laysku garaaco, iyo shareerado, iyo kataaradoba Ilaah loogu ammaano.

²⁸The sons of the singers gathered themselves together, both out of the plain around Jerusalem, and from the villages of the Netophathites;

²⁸Oo kuwii gabayaaga ahaana waxay iska soo urursadeen bannaankii Yeruusaalem ku wareegsanaa iyo tuulooyinkii reer Netofaah,

²⁹also from Beth Gilgal, and out of the fields of Geba and Azmaveth: for the singers had built them villages around Jerusalem.

²⁹iyo weliba Beytgilgaal, iyo beerihii Gebac, iyo Casmawed, waayo, kuwii gabayaaga ahaa tuulooyin ayay ka dhisteen Yeruusaalem hareeraheeda.

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

³⁰Markaasaa wadaaddadii iyo kuwii reer Laawi isdaahiriyeen, oo waxay kaloo daahiriyeen dadkii iyo irdihii iyo derbigii.

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;

³¹Kolkaasaan amiirradii dalka Yahuudah keenay derbiga dushiisa, oo waxaan doortay laba kooxood oo waaweyn oo mahad naqa, oo kooxba raggeedu isdaba socdo. Midi waxay tagtay xagga midig derbiga dushiisa ee Iridda Digada,

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

³²oo waxaa iyagii daba galay Hooshacyaah iyo amiirradii dalka Yahuudah badhkood,

³³and Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam,

³³iyo Casaryaah, iyo Cesraa, iyo Meshullaam,

³⁴Judah, and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah,

³⁴iyo Yahuudah, iyo Benyaamiin, iyo Shemacyaah, iyo Yeremyaah,

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;

³⁵iyo wiilashii wadaaddada qaarkood oo turumbooyin wata, kuwaasoo ahaa Sekaryaah oo ahaa ina Yoonaataan, ina Shemacyaah, ina Matanyaah, ina Miikaayaah, ina Sakuur, ina Aasaaf,

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.

³⁶iyo walaalihiis oo ahaa Shemacyaah, iyo Casareel, iyo Milalay, iyo Gilalay, iyo Maacay, iyo Netoneel, iyo Yahuudah, iyo Xanaanii, iyagoo wata alaabtii muusikada oo Daa'uud oo ahaa ninka Ilaah, oo iyaga waxaa u horreeyey karraanigii Cesraa.

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.

³⁷Oo xagga Iriddii Isha Biyaha iyo hortoodii ku qummanayd ayay kor u fuuleen jaranjaradii magaalada Daa'uud meesha derbiga laga fuulo oo ka korraysa gurigii Daa'uud, iyo ilaa Iridda Biyaha oo xagga bari ah.

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,

³⁸Oo kooxdii kale oo kuwa mahadda naqaa waxay u kaceen inay ka hor tagaan, oo anna iyagaan daba socday; aniga iyo dadkii badhkiis waxaannu soconnay derbiga korkiisa, xagga ka sarraysa Munaaradda Foornooyinka iyo xataa tan iyo derbiga ballaadhan,

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.

³⁹iyo xagga ka sarraysa Iridda Efrayim, iyo Iridda Gabooday agteeda, iyo Iridda Kalluunka, iyo Munaaradda Xananeel, iyo Munaaradda Mee'aah, iyo xataa Iridda Idaha; oo waxay joogsadeen Iriddii Waardiyaha.

⁴⁰So stood the two companies of those who gave thanks in God’s house, and I, and the half of the rulers with me;

⁴⁰Oo sidaasay u joogsadeen labadii kooxood oo kuwii mahadda ku naqi jiray gurigii Ilaah, iyo aniga, iyo taliyayaashii badhkood oo ila joogay,

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

⁴¹iyo wadaaddadii ahaa Elyaaqiim, iyo Macaseeyaah, iyo Minyaamim, iyo Miikaayaah, iyo Eliyooceenay, iyo Sekaryaah, iyo Xananyaah, oo wata turumbooyin;

⁴²and Maaseiah, and Shemaiah, and Eleazar, and Uzzi, and Jehohanan, and Malchijah, and Elam, and Ezer. The singers sang loud, with Jezrahiah their overseer.

⁴²iyo Macaseeyaah, iyo Shemacyaah, iyo Elecaasaar, iyo Cusii, iyo Yehooxaanaan, iyo Malkiiyaah, iyo Ceelaam, iyo Ceser. Oo kuwii gabayaaga ahaana cod dheer bay kula gabyeen Yesraxyaah oo ahaa madaxoodii.

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.

⁴³Oo maalintaas waxaa la bixiyey allabaryo badan, oo waa la wada farxay, waayo, Ilaah baa farxad weyn kaga farxiyey, oo dumarkii iyo carruurtiina way farxeen, sidaas daraaddeed Yeruusaalem farxaddeedii waxaa laga maqlay meel fog.

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.

⁴⁴Oo maalintaas ayaa rag loo doortay inay u taliyaan qolalka khasnadaha, iyo qurbaannada kor loo qaado, iyo midhaha ugu horreeya, iyo meeltobnaadyada, si loogaga soo ururiyo beeraha magaalooyinka oo dhan qaybihii sharcigu u amray wadaaddada iyo kuwii reer Laawi, waayo, dadka dalka Yahuudah way ku faraxsanaayeen wadaaddadii iyo kuwii reer Laawi oo adeegayay.

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.

⁴⁵Oo waxay dhawreen wixii ku saabsanaa u adeegidda Ilaahood iyo wixii ku saabsanaa isdaahirinta, oo kuwii gabayaaga ahaa iyo irid-dhawryadiina saasoo kalay yeeleen, sidii uu amarkii Daa'uud iyo wiilkiisii Sulaymaan ahaa.

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.

⁴⁶Waayo, waagii hore oo ahaa wakhtigii Daa'uud iyo Aasaaf waxaa jiri jiray nin madax u ahaa kuwii gabayaaga ahaa, oo waxaa Ilaah loogu gabyi jiray gabayo ammaan iyo mahadnaqid ah.Oo wakhtigii Serubaabel iyo wakhtigii Nexemyaah reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu way wada bixin jireen qaybihii kuwii gabayaaga ahaa iyo kuwii irid-dhawryadaba intii maalin kasta loo baahnaan jiray; oo in bay gooni uga dhigeen reer Laawi, oo reer Laawina in bay gooni uga dhigeen reer Haaruun.

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.

⁴⁷Oo wakhtigii Serubaabel iyo wakhtigii Nexemyaah reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu way wada bixin jireen qaybihii kuwii gabayaaga ahaa iyo kuwii irid-dhawryadaba intii maalin kasta loo baahnaan jiray; oo in bay gooni uga dhigeen reer Laawi, oo reer Laawina in bay gooni uga dhigeen reer Haaruun.
