Dem sey make dem join for dis serimony as dem dey sing and tank God with dia cymbals, harp and lyres. 28 Dem bring doz wey dey sing from evriwhere for Jerusalem and from di village dem wey dey Netofat. 29 Dem still kom from Bet-Gilgal and di poor arias near Gibeah and Azmavet, bikos doz wey dey sing don build dia own house round Jerusalem. 30 Di priest and Levi pipol first santify demsef; den dem kon santify di pipol, di gates and di wall.
31 I take di leaders for Judah go on-top di wall kon organize two big kwaya wey go give tanks. One among di kwaya face sout for di Dirty Gate. 32 Hoshaaya and half for di leaders for Judah follow dem, 33 with Zabud, Ezra, Meshullam, 34 Judah, Benjamin, Shemaya and Jeremaya. 35 Den some priest wey dey blow trumpet kon kom with Zekaraya wey Jonatan born, wey Shemaya born, wey Matanaya born, wey Mikaya born, wey Zakkur wey kom from Asaf shidren-shidren, born. 36 Zekaraya friends na Shemaya, Azarel, Milalaya, Gilalai, Maai, Netanel, Judah and Hanani and dem dey use di music instrument wey God savant, David give dem. Na Ezra bi di kwayamasta. 37 For di Well Gate, dem klimb go di town wall wey face David Town. Dem pass David house kon dey waka go di Wota Gate for east.

Levi pipol dey still give part of wetin dem kollect to di priests wey bi Aaron shidren-shidren.
