27. The wall of Jerusalem was set apart to God. For that occasion, the Levites were gathered together from where they lived. They were brought to Jerusalem to celebrate that happy occasion. They celebrated the fact that the wall was being set apart to God. They did it by singing and giving their thanks to him. They celebrated by playing music on cymbals, harps and lyres.

28. तो गवैयों के सन्तान यरूशलेम के चारों ओर के देश से और नतोपातियों के गांवों से,

28. The singers were also brought together. Some of them came in from the area around Jerusalem. Others came from the villages where the people of Netophah lived.

29. और बेतगिलगाल से, और गेबा और अज्माबेत के खेतों से इकट्ठे हुए; क्योंकि गवैयों ने यरूशलेम के आस- पास गांव बसा लिये थे।

29. Others came from Beth Gilgal. Still others came from the area of Geba and Azmaveth. The singers had built villages for themselves around Jerusalem.

30. तब याहकों और लेवियों ने अपने अपने को शुठ्ठ किया; और उन्हों ने प्रजा को, और फाटकों और शहरपनाह को भी शुठ्ठ किया।

30. The priests and Levites made themselves pure. Then they made the people, the gates and the wall pure and clean.

31. तब मैं ने यहूदी हाकिमों को शहरपनाह पर चढ़ाकर दो बड़े दल ठहराए, जो धन्यवाद करते हुए धूमधाम के साथ चलते थे। इनमें से एक दल तो दक्खिन ओर, अर्थात् कूड़ाफाटक की ओर शहरपनाह के ऊपर ऊपर से चला;

31. I, Nehemiah, had the leaders of Judah go up on top of the wall. I also appointed two large choirs to sing and give thanks. I told one of them to walk south on top of the wall. That was toward the Dung Gate.

32. और उसके पीछे पीछे ये चले, अर्थात् होशयाह और यहूदा के आधे हाकिम,

32. Hoshaiah and half of the leaders of Judah followed them.

33. और अजर्याह, एज्रा, मशुल्लाम,

33. Azariah, Ezra, Meshullam,

34. यहूदा, बिन्यामीन, शमायाह, और यिर्मयाह,

34. Judah, Benjamin, Shemaiah and Jeremiah also followed them.

35. और याजकों के कितने पुत्रा तुरहियां लिये हुए : अर्थात् जकर्याह जो योहानान का पुत्रा था, यह शमायाह का पुत्रा, यह मत्तन्याह का पुत्रा, यह मीकायाह का पुत्रा, यह जक्कूर का पुत्रा, यह आसाप का पुत्रा था।

35. Some priests who had trumpets followed them. So did Zechariah. He was the son of Jonathan. Jonathan was the son of Shemaiah. Shemaiah was the son of Mattaniah. Mattaniah was the son of Micaiah. Micaiah was the son of Zaccur. Zaccur was the son of Asaph.

36. और उसके भाई शमायाह, अजरेल, मिललै, गिललै, माऐ, नतनेल, यहूदा और हनानी परमेश्वर के भक्त दाऊद के बाजे लिये हुए थे; और उनके आगे आगे एज्रा शास्त्री चला।

36. Those who helped Zechariah also marched along. They were Shemaiah, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, Judah and Hanani. They brought instruments of music with them. That's what David, the man of God, had ordered. Ezra led the group that was marching south. He was a teacher of the law.

37. ये सेताफाटक से हो सीधे दाऊदपुर की सीढ़ी पर चढ़, शहरपनाह की ऊंचाई पर से चलकर, दाऊद के भवन के ऊपर से होकर, पूरब की ओर जलफाटक तक पहुंचे।

37. At the Fountain Gate they continued straight up the steps of the City of David that went up to the wall. Then the group passed above David's house. They continued on to the Water Gate on the east.

38. और धन्यवाद करने और धूमधाम से चलनेवालों का दूसरा दल, और उनके पीछे पीछे मैं, और आधे लोग उन से मिलने को शहरपनाह के ऊपर ऊपर से भट्ठों के गुम्मट के पास से चौड़ी शहरपनाह तक।

38. The second choir went north. I followed them on top of the wall. Half of the people went with me. They went past the Tower of the Ovens. They went to the Broad Wall.

39. और एप्रैम के फाटक और पुराने फाटक, और मछलीफाटक, और हननेल के गुम्मट, और हम्मेआ नाम गुम्मट के पास से होकर भेड़ फाटक तक चले, और पहरूओं के फाटक के पास खड़े हो गए।

39. They marched over the Gate of Ephraim. They went over the Jeshanah Gate and the Fish Gate. They went past the Tower of Hananel and the Tower of the Hundred. They continued on to the Sheep Gate. At the Gate of the Guard they stopped.

40. तब धन्यवाद करने वालों के दोनों दल और मैं और मेरे साथ आधे हाकिम परमेश्वर के भवन में खड़े हो गए।

40. Then the two choirs that sang and gave thanks took their places in God's house. So did I. So did half of the officials.

41. और एल्याकीम, मासेयाह, मिन्यामीन, मीकायाह, एल्योएनै, जकर्याह और हनन्याह नाम याजक तुरहियां लिये हुए थे।

41. And so did the priests. They were Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah and Hananiah. They had their trumpets with them.

42. और मासेयाह, शमायाह, एलीआजर, उज्जी, यहोहानान, मल्किरयाह, एलाम, ओर एजेर (खड़े हुए थे) और गवैये जिनका मुखिया यिज्रह्माह था, वह ऊंचे स्वर से गाते बजाते रहे।

42. Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malkijah, Elam and Ezer were also there. The choirs sang under the direction of Jezrahiah.

43. उसी दिन लोगों ने बड़े बड़े मेलबलि चढ़ाए, और आनन्द लिया; क्योंकि परमेश्वर ने उनको बहुत ही आनन्दित किया था; स्त्रियों ने और बालबच्चों ने भी आनन्द किया। और यरूशलेम के आनन्द की ध्वनि दूर दूर तक फैल गई।

43. On that day large numbers of sacrifices were offered. The people were glad because God had given them great joy. The women and children were also very happy. The joyful sound in Jerusalem could be heard far away.

44. उसी दिन खज़ानों के, उठाई हुई भेंटों के, पहिली पहिली उपज के, और दशमांशों की कोठरियों के अधिकारी ठहराए गए, कि उन में नगर नगर के खेतों के अनुसार उन वस्तुओं को जमा करें, जो व्यवस्था के अनुसार याजकों और लेवियों के भाग में की थी; क्योंकि यहूदी उपस्थ्ति याजकों और लेवियों के कारण आनन्दित थे।

44. At that time some men were put in charge of the storerooms. That's where all of the gifts the people brought were placed. They included the first shares of their crops. They also included a tenth of everything the Law required. From the fields that were around the towns the people had to bring the shares of their crops that were required by the Law. They gave them to the priests and Levites. That's because the people of Judah were pleased with the priests and Levites who were serving God.

45. इसलिये वे अपने परमेश्वर के काम और शुठ्ठता के विषय चौकसी करते रहे; और गवैये ओर द्वारपाल भी दाऊद और उसके पुत्रा सुलैमान की आज्ञा के अनुसार वैसा ही करते रहे।

45. The priests and Levites did everything their God wanted them to do. They made things pure and clean. The singers and those who guarded the temple gates also served God. Everything was done just as David and his son Solomon had commanded.

46. प्राचीनकाल, अर्थात् दाऊद और आसाप के दिनों में तो गवैयों के प्रधान थे, और परमेश्वर की स्तुति और धन्यवाद के गीत गाए जाते थे।

46. A long time ago there had been directors for the singers. There had also been directors for the songs for giving thanks and praise to God. It was in the time of David and Asaph.

47. और जरूब्बाबेल और नहेमायाह के दिनों में सारे इस्राएली, गवैयों और द्वारपालों के प्रतिदिन का भाग देते रहे; और वे लेवियों के अंश पवित्रा करके देते थे; और लेवीय हारून की सन्तान के अंश पवित्रा करके देते थे।

47. So now in the days of Zerubbabel and Nehemiah, all of the people of Israel brought their gifts. They gave the singers and those who guarded the gates what they were supposed to give them every day. They also set apart the shares for the other Levites. And the Levites set apart the shares for the priests in the family line of Aaron.
