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.

9Pea mo Pakipukia mo Uni, ko honau kāinga, naʻe hangatonu atu kiate kinautolu ʻi honau ngaahi lakanga.
9Bakbukiah and Unni, their associates, stood across from them in the services.
10¶ Pea naʻe tupu ʻia Sesua ʻa Soaikimi, pea tupu foki ʻia Soaikimi ʻa Iliasipi, pea tupu ʻia Iliasipi ʻa Sihoiata.

22¶ Naʻe 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.
22In the days of Eliashib, Joiada, Johanan, and Jaddua, during the reign of Darius the Persian, the heads of the families of the Levites and priests were recorded.
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.
23As for the descendants of Levi, the family heads up to the days of Johanan son of Eliashib were recorded in the Book of the Chronicles.
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.
24The leaders of the Levites were Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua son of Kadmiel, along with their associates, who stood across from them to give praise and thanksgiving as one section alternated with the other, as prescribed by David the man of God.
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.
25Mattaniah, Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, and Akkub were gatekeepers who guarded the storerooms at the gates.
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.
26They served in the days of Joiakim son of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor and Ezra the priest and scribe.
27¶ Pea 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.
27At the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem, the Levites were sought out from all their homes and brought to Jerusalem to celebrate the joyous dedication with thanksgiving and singing, accompanied by cymbals, harps, and lyres.
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;
28The singers were also assembled from the region around Jerusalem, from the villages of the Netophathites,
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.
29from Beth-gilgal, and from the fields of Geba and Azmaveth, for they had built villages for themselves around Jerusalem.
30Pea naʻe fakamaʻa ʻakinautolu ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki mo e kau Livai, pea fakamaʻa ʻae kakai, mo e ngaahi matapā, mo e ʻā maka.
30After the priests and Levites had purified themselves, they purified the people, the gates, and the wall.
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:
31Then I brought the leaders of Judah up on the wall, and I appointed two great thanksgiving choirs. One was to proceed along the top of the wall to the right, toward the Dung Gate.
32Pea naʻe muimui ʻiate kinautolu ʻa Hosaia, mo hono vaeuaʻanga ʻe taha ʻoe houʻeiki ʻo Siuta,
32Hoshaiah and half the leaders of Judah followed,
33Mo ʻAsalia, mo Esela, mo Mesulami,
33along with Azariah, Ezra, Meshullam,
34Mo Siuta, mo Penisimani, mo Simaia, mo Selemaia,
34Judah, Benjamin, Shemaiah, Jeremiah,
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;
35and some of the priests with trumpets, and also Zechariah son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Micaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph,
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.
36and his associates—Shemaiah, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, Judah, and Hanani—with the musical instruments prescribed by David the man of God. Ezra the scribe led the procession.
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.
37At the Fountain Gate they climbed the steps of the City of David on the ascent to the wall and passed above the house of David to the Water Gate on the east.
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;
38The second thanksgiving choir proceeded to the left, and I followed it with half the people along the top of the wall, past the Tower of the Ovens to the Broad Wall,
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.
39over the Gate of Ephraim, the Jeshanah Gate, the Fish Gate, the Tower of Hananel, and the Tower of the Hundred, as far as the Sheep Gate. And they stopped at the Gate of the Guard.
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:
40The two thanksgiving choirs then stood in the house of God, as did I, along with the half of the officials accompanying me,
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;
41as well as the priests with their trumpets—Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah—
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.
42and also Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malchijah, Elam, and Ezer. Then the choirs sang out under the direction of Jezrahiah.
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 uaifi foki mo e fānau; ko ia naʻe ongo ki he mamaʻo ʻae fiefia ʻa Selūsalema.
43On that day they offered great sacrifices, rejoicing because God had given them great joy. The women and children also rejoiced, so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard from afar.
44¶ Pea 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.
44And on that same day men were appointed over the rooms that housed the supplies, contributions, firstfruits, and tithes. The portions specified by the Law for the priests and Levites were gathered into these storerooms from the fields of the villages, because Judah rejoiced over the priests and Levites who were serving.
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.
45They performed the service of their God and the service of purification, along with the singers and gatekeepers, as David and his son Solomon had prescribed.
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.
46For long ago, in the days of David and Asaph, there were directors for the singers and for the songs of praise and thanksgiving to God.
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.
47So in the days of Zerubbabel and Nehemiah, all Israel contributed the daily portions for the singers and gatekeepers. They also set aside daily portions for the Levites, and the Levites set aside daily portions for the descendants of Aaron.
