27 N ow at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought out the Levites in all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem to celebrate the dedication with gladness, both with thanksgivings and singing, with cymbals and stringed instruments and harps.

38 T he other thanksgiving choir went the opposite way, and I was behind them with half of the people on the wall, going past the Tower of the Ovens as far as the Broad Wall,

Oo 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,

43 A lso that day they offered great sacrifices, and rejoiced, for God had made them rejoice with great joy; the women and the children also rejoiced, so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard afar off. Temple Responsibilities

Oo 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.

44 A nd at the same time some were appointed over the rooms of the storehouse for the offerings, the firstfruits, and the tithes, to gather into them from the fields of the cities the portions specified by the Law for the priests and Levites; for Judah rejoiced over the priests and Levites who ministered.

Oo 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.

45 B oth the singers and the gatekeepers kept the charge of their God and the charge of the purification, according to the command of David and Solomon his son.

Oo 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.

46 F or in the days of David and Asaph of old there were chiefs of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving to God.

Waayo, 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.

47 I n the days of Zerubbabel and in the days of Nehemiah all Israel gave the portions for the singers and the gatekeepers, a portion for each day. They also consecrated holy things for the Levites, and the Levites consecrated them for the children of Aaron.

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.
