Nehemaia 12

1These are the priests and the Levites who came up with Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua: Seraiah, Jeremiah, Ezra,

1PEA ko e kau taulaʻeiki mo e kau Livai eni, naʻe ʻalu hake mo Selupepeli ko e foha ʻo Sialiteli, mo Sesua ko Selaia, mo Selemaia, mo Esela,

7Mo Salu, mo ʻAmoki, mo Hilikia, mo Sitaia. Ko e kau tuʻukimuʻa eni ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki, pea ʻo honau ngaahi kāinga ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Sesua.

8And the Levites: Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, and Mattaniah, who with his brothers was in charge of the songs of thanksgiving.

8Pea ko e kau Livai foki: ko Sesua, mo Pinui, mo Katimieli, mo Selepea, mo Siuta, mo Matania, ʻaia naʻe taki ki he fakafetaʻi, ʻaia mo hono ngaahi kāinga.

9And Bakbukiah and Unni and their brothers stood opposite them in the service.

9Pea mo Pakipukia mo Uni, ko honau kāinga, naʻe hangatonu atu kiate kinautolu ʻi honau ngaahi lakanga.

10And Jeshua was the father of Joiakim, Joiakim the father of Eliashib, Eliashib the father of Joiada,

10Pea naʻe tupu ʻia Sesua ʻa Soaikimi, pea tupu foki ʻia Soaikimi ʻa Iliasipi, pea tupu ʻia Iliasipi ʻa Sihoiata.

11Joiada the father of Jonathan, and Jonathan the father of Jaddua.

11Pea tupu ʻia Sihoiata ʻa Sonatani, pea tupu ʻia Sonatani ʻa Satua.

12And in the days of Joiakim were priests, heads of fathers’ houses: of Seraiah, Meraiah; of Jeremiah, Hananiah;

12Pea naʻe ai ʻae kau taulaʻeiki ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Sihoiakimi, ko e kau tuʻukimuʻa ʻoe ngaahi mātuʻa: ʻia Selaia, ko Melaia: ʻia Selemaia, ko Hanania;

21‌ʻIa Hilikia, ko Hasapea; ʻia Sitaia, ka Netanili.

22In the days of Eliashib, Joiada, Johanan, and Jaddua, the Levites were recorded as heads of fathers’ houses; so too were the priests in the reign of Darius the Persian.

22Naʻe tohi ʻae kau Livai ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Iliasipi, ko Sihoiata, mo Sohanani, mo Satua, ko e kau tuʻukimuʻa ʻoe kau mātuʻa: mo e kau taulaʻeiki foki, ʻo hoko mo e pule ʻa Talaiasi ko e tangata Peasia.

23As for the sons of Levi, their heads of fathers’ houses were written in the Book of the Chronicles until the days of Johanan the son of Eliashib.

23Ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Livai, ko e kau tuʻukimuʻa ʻoe kau mātuʻa, naʻe tohi ʻi he tohi ʻoe toenga talanoa, ʻo hoko ki he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Sohanani ko e foha ʻo Iliasipi.

24And the chiefs of the Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua the son of Kadmiel, with their brothers who stood opposite them, to praise and to give thanks, according to the commandment of David the man of God, watch by watch.

24Pea ko e kau tuʻukimuʻa ʻoe kau Livai: ko Hasapea, mo Selepea, mo Sesua ko e foha ʻo Katimieli, mo honau kāinga naʻe hangatonu kiate kinautolu, ke fai fakamālō, mo ʻatu ʻae fakafetaʻi, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Tevita ko e tangata ʻae ʻOtua, ko e hangatonu atu ʻae lakanga ki he lakanga ʻe taha.

25Mattaniah, Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, and Akkub were gatekeepers standing guard at the storehouses of the gates.

25Ko e kau leʻo matapā naʻe tauhi ʻi he tulutulu ʻoe ngaahi matapā, ko Matania, mo Pakipukia, mo ʻOpataia, mo Mesulami, mo Talimoni, mo ʻAkupi.

26These were in the days of Joiakim the son of Jeshua son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor and of Ezra, the priest and scribe.

26Naʻe ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Sihoiakimi ko e foha ʻo Sesua, ko e foha ʻo Sosataki, ʻakinautolu ni, pea ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Nehemaia ko e pule, pea mo Esela ko e taulaʻeiki mo e tangata tohi.

27And at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought the Levites in all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem to celebrate the dedication with gladness, with thanksgivings and with singing, with cymbals, harps, and lyres.

27Pea ʻi he fakatapui ʻoe ʻā maka ʻo Selūsalema naʻa nau kumi ʻae kau Livai mei honau ngaahi potu kotoa pē, ke ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki Selūsalema, ke fai ʻae fakatapui ʻi he fiefia lahi, ʻi he ngaahi fakafetaʻi, mo e hiva, mo e ngaahi meʻa pakihi, mo e ngaahi ūtete mo e ngaahi haʻape.

28And the sons of the singers gathered together from the district surrounding Jerusalem and from the villages of the Netophathites;

28Pea naʻe fakakātoa ʻae ngaahi foha ʻoe kau hiva, mei he potu fonua tafangafanga naʻe takatakai ʻi Selūsalema, pea mei he ngaahi potu kakai ʻo Nitofa;

29also from Beth-gilgal and from the region of Geba and Azmaveth, for the singers had built for themselves villages around Jerusalem.

29Pea mei he fale ʻo Kilikali foki, pea mei he ngaahi ngoue ʻo Kepa mo ʻAsimaveti: he naʻe langa honau ngaahi potu ke nofo ai ʻe he kau hiva ʻo takatakai ʻi Selūsalema.

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

30Pea naʻe fakamaʻa ʻakinautolu ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki mo e kau Livai, pea fakamaʻa ʻae kakai, mo e ngaahi matapā, mo e ʻā maka.

31Then I brought the leaders of Judah up onto the wall and appointed two great choirs that gave thanks. One went to the south on the wall to the Dung Gate.

31Pea ne u toki ʻomi ʻae houʻeiki ʻo Siuta ki ʻolunga ki he ʻā maka, pea fokotuʻu honau vāhenga lahi ʻe ua ʻonautolu ke fai fakafetaʻi, pea naʻe ʻalu honau fakataha ʻe taha ki he nima toʻomataʻu ʻoe funga ʻā maka ʻo hanga atu ki he matapā tuʻunga veve:

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

32Pea naʻe muimui ʻiate kinautolu ʻa Hosaia, mo hono vaeuaʻanga ʻe taha ʻoe houʻeiki ʻo Siuta,

33and Azariah, Ezra, Meshullam,

33Mo ʻAsalia, mo Esela, mo Mesulami,

34Judah, Benjamin, Shemaiah, and Jeremiah,

34Mo Siuta, mo Penisimani, mo Simaia, mo Selemaia,

35and certain of the priests’ sons with trumpets: Zechariah the son of Jonathan, son of Shemaiah, son of Mattaniah, son of Micaiah, son of Zaccur, son of Asaph;

35Mo e niʻihi ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki, ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻalea; ʻio, ʻa Sakalia ko e foha ʻo Sonatani, ko e foha ʻo Simaia, ko e foha ʻo Sakuli, ko e foha ʻo ʻAsafi;

36and his relatives, Shemaiah, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, Judah, and Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God. And Ezra the scribe went before them.

36Mo hono ngaahi kāinga, ko Simaia, mo ʻAsalili, mo Milale, mo Kilale, mo Meai, mo Netanili, mo Siuta, mo Hanani, mo e ngaahi meʻa faiva ʻa Tevita ko e tangata ʻae ʻOtua, mo Esela ko e tangata tohi ʻi honau ʻao.

37At the Fountain Gate they went up straight before them by the stairs of the city of David, at the ascent of the wall, above the house of David, to the Water Gate on the east.

37Pea naʻa nau ʻalu hake ʻi he matapā ʻoe mata vai, ʻaia naʻe hangatonu atu kiate kinautolu, ʻi he ngaahi tuʻunga ʻoe kolo ʻa Tevita, ʻi he ʻalu hake ʻoe ʻā maka, ʻi ʻolunga ʻi he fale ʻo Tevita, ʻio, ʻo aʻu atu ki he matapā vai ʻi he potu hahake.

38The other choir of those who gave thanks went to the north, and I followed them with half of the people, on the wall, above the Tower of the Ovens, to the Broad Wall,

38Pea ko hono fakataha ʻe taha ʻokinautolu naʻe fai fakafetaʻi naʻe ʻalu ki he potu naʻe hangatonu mai kiate kinautolu, pea naʻaku muimui atu kiate kinautolu, mo hono vaeuaʻanga ʻe taha ʻoe kakai ʻi he funga ʻā maka, mei he potu mamaʻo atu ʻi he fale māʻolunga ʻoe ngaahi afi tutuʻanga meʻa, ʻio, ʻo aʻu atu ki he ʻā maka laulahi;

39and above the Gate of Ephraim, and by the Gate of Yeshanah, and by the Fish Gate and the Tower of Hananel and the Tower of the Hundred, to the Sheep Gate; and they came to a halt at the Gate of the Guard.

39Pea mei he potu ki ʻolunga hake ʻi he matapā ʻo ʻIfalemi, pea mei ʻolunga ʻi he matapā motuʻa, pea ki ʻolunga ʻi he matapā ika, pea mei he fale māʻolunga ʻo Hananili, mo e fale māʻolunga ʻo Mea, ʻio, ʻo aʻu ki he matapā sipi: pea naʻa nau tuʻumaʻu pe ʻi he matapā ʻoe fale fakapōpula.

40So both choirs of those who gave thanks stood in the house of God, and I and half of the officials with me;

40Pea naʻe pehē ʻae tuʻu ʻae fakataha ʻe ua naʻe fai fakafetaʻi ʻi he fale ʻoe ʻOtua, mo au pea mo hono vaeuaʻanga ʻe taha ʻoe kau pule:

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

41Pea ko e kau taulaʻeiki eni: ko Iliakimi, mo Maaseia, mo Miniamini, mo Mikaia, mo Ilionei, mo Sakalia, mo Hanania, ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa lea;

42and Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malchijah, Elam, and Ezer. And the singers sang with Jezrahiah as their leader.

42Mo Maaseia, mo Simaia, mo ʻEliesa, mo Usi, mo Sihohanani, mo Malikisa, mo ʻIlami, mo Eseli. Pea naʻe hiva kalanga ʻae kau hiva, fakataha mo honau taki muʻa ko Siselahia.

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

43Pea naʻa nau ʻatu foki ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻae ngaahi feilaulau lahi, ʻi he fiefia: he naʻe fakafiefiaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he fiefia lahi; pea naʻe fiefia ʻae ngaahi ʻunoho foki mo e fānau; ko ia naʻe ongo ki he mamaʻo ʻae fiefia ʻa Selūsalema.

44On that day men were appointed over the storerooms, the contributions, the firstfruits, and the tithes, to gather into them the portions required by the Law for the priests and for the Levites according to the fields of the towns, for Judah rejoiced over the priests and the Levites who ministered.

44Pea naʻe fakanofo ʻi he kuonga ko ia ʻae niʻihi, ke tauhi ʻae ngaahi fale ki he ngaahi koloa, ko e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ʻatu, mo e ngaahi ʻuluaki fua, pea ki he ngaahi tāuvao, ke tānaki ki ai mei he ngaahi ngoue ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻae ngaahi ʻinasi ʻoe fono ki he kau taulaʻeiki, mo e kau Livai: he naʻe fiefia ʻa Siuta koeʻuhi ko e kau taulaʻeiki mo e kau Livai naʻe ngāue.

45And they performed the service of their God and the service of purification, as did the singers and the gatekeepers, according to the command of David and his son Solomon.

45Pea ko e kau hiva mo e kau leʻo matapā naʻa nau fakatou tauhi ʻae lakanga ʻo honau ʻOtua, mo e lakanga ʻo honau fakamaʻa ʻo fakatatau ki he fekau ʻa Tevita, mo Solomone ko hono foha.

46For long ago in the days of David and Asaph there were directors of the singers, and there were songs of praise and thanksgiving to God.

46He naʻe ʻi ai ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Tevita, mo ʻAsafi, ʻae kau takimuʻa ʻi he kau hiva, mo e ngaahi hiva ʻoe fakaongolelei mo e fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua.

47And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel and in the days of Nehemiah gave the daily portions for the singers and the gatekeepers; and they set apart that which was for the Levites; and the Levites set apart that which was for the sons of Aaron.

47Pea ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Selupepeli, pea ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Nehemaia, naʻe foaki ʻe ʻIsileli kotoa pē ʻae ngaahi ʻinasi tokoni ki he kau hiva mo e kau leʻo matapā, taki taha ʻene tokoni ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē: pea naʻa nau vaheʻi ʻae ngaahi meʻa tapu maʻae kau Livai; pea naʻe vaheʻi ia ʻe he kau Livai maʻae fānau ʻa ʻElone.
