1 Mbiri 26
1 Magulu a alonda a pa zipata: Kuchokera ku banja la Kora: Meselemiya mwana wa Kore, mmodzi mwa ana a Asafu.
Now the divisions of the porters were, from the Korahites: Meshelemiah, the son of Kore, of the sons of Asaph.
2 Meselemiya anali ndi ana awa: woyamba Zekariya, wachiwiri Yediaeli, wachitatu Zebadiya, wachinayi Yatinieli,
The sons of Meshelemiah: Zechariah the firstborn, Jediael the second, Zebadiah the third, Jathniel the fourth,
3 wachisanu Elamu, wachisanu ndi chimodzi Yehohanani, ndipo wachisanu ndi chiwiri Elihunai.
Elam the fifth, Jehohanan the sixth, Eliehoenai the seventh.
4 Obedi-Edomu analinso ndi ana awa: woyamba Semaya, wachiwiri Yehozabadi, wachitatu Yowa, wachinayi Sakara, wachisanu Netaneli,
Then the sons of Obededom: Shemaiah the firstborn, Jehozabad the second, Joah the third, Sachar the fourth, Nethanel the fifth,
5 wachisanu ndi chimodzi Amieli, wachisanu ndi chiwiri Isakara ndipo wachisanu ndi chitatu Peuletayi. (Pakuti Mulungu anadalitsa Obedi-Edomu).
Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, Peullethai the eighth. For the Lord had blessed him.
6 Mwana wake Semaya analinso ndi ana amene anali atsogoleri mʼbanja la abambo awo chifukwa anali anthu amphamvu.
Now to his son Shemaiah, there were born sons, rulers of their families. For they were very strong men.
7 Ana a Semaya anali: Otini, Refaeli, Obedi ndi Elizabadi; abale ake, Elihu ndi Semakiya, analinso anthu amphamvu.
Then the sons of Shemaiah were Othni, and Rephael, and Obed, Elzabad and his brothers, very strong men, as well as Elihu and Semachiah.
8 Onsewa anali adzukulu a Obedi-Edomu. Iwo ndi ana awo ndiponso abale awo anali anthu aluso ndi amphamvu pogwira ntchito. Zidzukulu zonse za Obedi-Edomu zinalipo 62.
All these were from the sons of Obededom: they and their sons and brothers, very fit for the ministry, sixty-two from Obededom.
9 Meselemiya anali ndi ana ndi abale ake amene anali aluso ndipo onse analipo 18.
Then there were the sons of Meshelemiah and their brothers, very robust men, eighteen.
10 Hosa Mmerari anali ndi ana awa: woyamba anali Simiri (ngakhale kuti iye sanali woyamba kubadwa, abambo ake anamusankha kuti akhale mtsogoleri),
Now, from Hosah, that is, from the sons of Merari: Shimri the leader, for he had not had a firstborn son, and so, because of this, his father had appointed him as the leader,
11 wachiwiri Hilikiya, wachitatu Tebaliya ndipo wachinayi Zekariya. Ana ndi abale onse a Hosa analipo 13.
Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third, Zechariah the fourth. All these, the sons and brothers of Hosah, were thirteen.
12 Magulu amenewa a alonda a pa zipata, motsogozedwa ndi atsogoleri awo, anali ndi ntchito yotumikira mʼNyumba ya Yehova, monga momwe amachitira abale awo.
These were distributed as porters, so that the leaders of the posts, as well as their brothers, were ministering continually in the house of the Lord.
13 Iwo anachita maere mwa mabanja awo aangʼono ndi aakulu omwe kuti apeze mlonda pa chipata chilichonse.
Then they cast lots equally, for both the small and the great, by their families, concerning each one of the gates.
14 Maere a chipata chakummwa anagwera Selemiya. Maere anachitikanso chifukwa cha mwana wake Zekariya, phungu wanzeru ndipo maere a chipata chakumpoto anagwera iye.
And the lot of the east fell out to Shelemiah. But to his son Zechariah, a very prudent and learned man, the northern section was obtained by lot.
15 Maere a chipata chakummwera anagwera Obedi-Edomu, ndipo maere a nyumba yosungiramo katundu anagwera ana ake.
Truly, Obededom and his sons obtained that to the south, in the part of the house where the council of elders was.
16 Maere a chipata chakumadzulo ndi chipata cha Saleketi ku msewu wa ku mtunda anagwera Supimu ndi Hosa. Mlonda ankayangʼanana ndi mlonda mnzake:
Shuppim and Hosah obtained that toward the west, beside the gate that leads to the way of the ascent, one post facing the other.
17 Mbali ya kummawa kunkakhala Alevi 6 pa tsiku, kumpoto anayi pa tsiku, kummwera anayi pa tsiku ndipo awiri ankakhala pa nyumba yosungiramo katundu.
Truly, toward the east there were six Levites, and toward the north there were four per day, and then toward the south similarly there were four each day. And where the council was, there were two and two.
18 Ndipo ku bwalo cha kumadzulo, anayi amakhala mu msewu ndi awiri pabwalo penipeni.
Also, in the cells of the porters toward the west, there were four along the way, and two at every cell.
19 Awa anali magulu a alonda a pa zipata amene anali zidzukulu za Kora ndi Merari.
These are the divisions of the porters of the sons of Kohath and of Merari.
20 Abale awo Alevi, motsogozedwa ndi Ahiya, anali oyangʼanira chuma cha nyumba ya Mulungu ndi zinthu zoperekedwa kwa Mulungu.
Now Ahijah was over the treasuries of the house of God, and the holy vessels.
21 Adzukulu a Ladani, mmodzi mwa ana a Geresoni, amene anali atsogoleri a mabanja a Ageresoni, anali awa: Yehieli,
The sons of Ladan, sons of Gershon: from Ladan, leaders of the families of Ladan and of Gershon: Jehieli.
22 ana a Yehieli, Zetamu ndi mʼbale wake Yoweli. Iwo amayangʼanira chuma cha ku Nyumba ya Mulungu wa Yehova.
The sons of Jehieli: Zetham and Joel; his brothers were over the treasuries of the house of the Lord,
23 Kuchokera ku banja la Amramu, banja la Aizihara, banja la Ahebroni ndi banja la Auzieli:
with the Amramites, and Izharites, and Hebronites, and Uzzielites.
24 Subaeli, chidzukulu cha Geresomu, mwana wa Mose, anali mkulu woyangʼanira chuma.
Now, Shebuel, the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, was in the first place over the treasuries,
25 Abale ake obadwa mwa Eliezara, anali Rekabiya mwana wake, Yesaya mwana wake, Yoramu mwana wake, Zikiri mwana wake ndi Selomiti mwana wake.
along with his brothers, Eliezer, and his son Rehabiah, and his son Jeshaiah, and his son Joram, and also his son Zichri, and his son Shelomoth.
26 Selomiti ndi abale ake amayangʼanira zinthu zonse zoperekedwa kwa Mulungu ndi mfumu Davide, atsogoleri a mabanja amene anali olamulira ankhondo 1,000, olamulira ankhondo 100, ndi olamulira ankhondo ena.
The same Shelomoth and his brothers were over the treasuries of the holy things, which king David sanctified, with the leaders of the families, and the tribunes, and the centurions, and the commanders of the army.
27 Zina zofunkha ku nkhondo anazipereka kuti zikhale zokonzera Nyumba ya Yehova.
These things were from the wars and from the best spoils of the battles, which they had consecrated for the repair and the furnishing of the temple of the Lord.
28 Ndipo zonse zimene zinaperekedwa ndi Mlosi Samueli, Sauli mwana wa Kisi, Abineri mwana wa Neri ndiponso Yowabu mwana wa Zeruya ndi zinthu zonse zimene zinkaperekedwa zimasungidwa ndi Selomiti ndi abale ake.
Now all these things were sanctified by Samuel, the seer, and by Saul, the son of Kish, and by Abner, the son of Ner, and by Joab, the son of Zeruiah. All those who had sanctified these were under the hand of Shelomoth and his brothers.
29 Kuchokera ku banja la Izihari: Kenaniya ndi ana ake anapatsidwa ntchito kutali ndi Nyumba ya Mulungu ngati akuluakulu ndi oweruza Israeli.
Yet truly, Chenaniah and his sons were over the Izharites, for the exterior works concerning Israel, in order to teach and to judge them.
30 Kuchokera ku banja la Ahebroni: Hasabiya ndi abale ake, anthu anzeru 1,700. Iwo ankayangʼanira ntchito zonse za Yehova ndi ntchito yonse ya mfumu cha kumadzulo kwa Yorodani.
Now from the Hebronites, Hashabiah and his brothers, one thousand seven hundred very strong men, were in charge of Israel across the Jordan toward the west, in all the works of the Lord, and in the ministry of the king.
31 Pa banja la Ahebroni, Yeriya anali mtsogoleri monga mwa mbiri ya mibado ya mabanja awo. Mʼchaka cha 40 cha ufumu wa Davide, panachitika kafukufuku ndipo ena mwa anthu aluso a banja la Hebroni anapezeka kuti anali ku Yazeri ku Giliyadi.
And the leader of the Hebronites was Jerijah, according to their families and kindred. In the fortieth year of the reign of David, they were numbered, and there were found very strong men in Jazer Gilead.
32 Yeriya anali ndi abale 2,700 amene anali aluso ndiponso atsogoleri a mabanja. Mfumu Davide anawayika iwowa kuti aziyangʼanira fuko la Rubeni, fuko la Gadi ndi theka la fuko la Manase pa zinthu zonse za Mulungu ndi za mfumu.
And his brothers of a mature age were two thousand seven hundred leaders of families. Then king David placed them in charge of the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the one half tribe of Manasseh, in all of the ministries of God and of the king.
