1 Weche Mag Ndalo 23
1 Kane Daudi koro oseti kendo hike ne ngʼeny, ne oketo wuode Solomon obedo ruodh Israel.
And when David was old and full of days, he made Solomon his son king over Israel.
2 Bende ne ochoko jodongo duto mag jo-Israel kaachiel gi jodolo kod jo-Lawi.
And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.
3 Jo-Lawi machwo ma jo-higni piero adek kata moloyo kanyo nokwan, ne gin ji alufu piero adek gaboro.
And then were numbered the Levites from thirty years old and upward: and their number by their polls, of men, was thirty and eight thousand.
4 Daudi nowacho niya, “Ji alufu piero ariyo gangʼwen kuomgi noket jorit tich e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye, to ji alufu auchiel kuomgi to noket jotelo kod jongʼad bura.
Of these were twenty and four thousand to superintend the work of the house of the Lord; and six thousand were officers and judges;
5 Ji alufu angʼwen, to noket jorit rangeye, kendo ji alufu angʼwen mamoko, to noket jopak Jehova Nyasaye gi thumbe ma asechiwo nikech tijni.”
And four thousand were gatekeepers: and four thousand those who praised the Lord with the instruments which I have made, to praise therewith.
6 Daudi nopogo jo-Lawi e migepe kaluwore gi yawuot Lawi ma gin Gershon, Kohath kod Merari.
And David divided them into divisions after the sons of Levi, after Gershon, Kehath, and Merari.
7 Koa kuom joka Gershon, ne gin: Ladan kod Shimei.
Of the Gershunites: La'dan, and Shim'i.
8 Yawuot Ladan ne gin: Jehiel wuode makayo, kiluwe gi Zetham kod Joel, giduto ne gin ji adek.
The sons of La'dan: The chief was Jechiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three.
9 Yawuot Shimei ne gin: Shelomoth, Haziel kod Haran, giduto ne gin ji adek. Magi ema ne jotend anywola mar Ladan.
The sons of Shim'i: Shelomith, and Chaziel, and Haran, three. These were the chiefs of the families of La'dan.
10 To yawuot Shimei ne gin: Jahath, Ziza, Jeush kod Beria. Magi ema ne yawuot Shimei, giduto ne gin ji angʼwen.
And the sons of Shim'i were, Jachath, Zina, and Je'ush, and Beri'ah. These four were the sons of Shim'i.
11 Jahath ema ne kayo, Ziza ne luwe, to Jeush kod Beria nokwan kaka dhoot achiel moriwgi e tich achiel nikech yawuotgi ne nok.
And Jachath was the chief, and Zizah the second; but Je'ush and Beri'ah had not many sons: therefore were they accounted as one family division in the numbering.
12 Yawuot Kohath ne gin: Amram, Izhar, Hebron kod Uziel, giduto ne gin ji angʼwen.
The sons of Kehath: 'Amram, Yizhar, Hebron, and 'Uzziel, four.
13 Yawuot Amram ne gin: Harun kod Musa. Harun gi nyikwaye to nowal nyaka chiengʼ mondo opwodh gik maler moloyo, kendo ochiw misango e nyim Jehova Nyasaye kendo mondo gitine kendo gigwedh ji e nyinge nyaka chiengʼ.
The sons of 'Amram, Aaron and Moses: and Aaron was set apart, to sanctify him as most holy, he with his sons for ever, to burn incense before the Lord, to minister unto him, and to bless in his name for ever.
14 Yawuot Musa, ngʼat Nyasaye, to nokwan kaka achiel kuom dhood jo-Lawi.
But as regardeth Moses the man of God, his sons were named after the tribe of Levi.
15 Yawuot Musa ne gin: Gershom kod Eliezer.
The sons of Moses were, Gershom, and Eli'ezer.
16 Nyikwa Gershom ne gin: Shubael mane wuowi makayo.
Of the sons of Gershom, Shebuel was the chief.
17 Nyikwa Eliezer ne gin: Rehabia mane wuowi makayo. Eliezer ne onge gi yawuowi mamoko, to yawuot Rehabia ne ngʼeny moloyo.
And the sons of Eli'ezer were, Rechahyah the chief. And Eli'ezer had no other sons; but the sons of Rechahyah became exceedingly numerous.
18 Yawuot Izhar ne gin: Shelomith mane wuowi makayo.
Of the sons of Yizhar, was Shelomith the chief.
19 Yawuot Hebron ne gin: Jeria mane wuowi makayo, Amaria mar ariyo, Jahaziel mar adek gi Jekameam mar angʼwen.
The sons of Hebron: Jeriyahu the chief, Amaryah the second, Jachaziel the third, and Jekam'am the fourth.
20 Yawuot Uziel ne gin: Mika mane wuowi makayo kod Ishia wuowi mar ariyo.
The sons of 'Uzziel: Michah the chief, and Yishiyah the second.
21 Yawuot Merari ne gin: Mali kod Mushi. Yawuot Mali ne gin: Eliazar kod Kish.
The sons of Merari: Machli, and Mushi. The sons of Machli: El'azar, and Kish.
22 Eliazar notho kapok onywolo yawuowi, ne en mana gi nyiri kende. Owetegi ma yawuot Kish nokendogi.
And El'azar died, and had no sons, but daughters; and the sons of Kish, their brethren, took them [for wives].
23 Yawuot Mushi ne gin: Mali, Eder kod Jerimoth, giduto ne gin ji adek.
The sons of Mushi: Machli, and 'Eder, and Jeremoth, three.
24 Magi ema ne nyikwa Lawi kochan-gi kaluwore gi anywolagi mane gin jotelo mag anywola mana kaka nondik nying-gi kendo kokwan-gi ngʼato ka ngʼato, mane gin jotich mahikgi piero ariyo kata moloyo kanyo mane tiyo e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye.
These were the sons of Levi after their family divisions, even the chiefs of the families, as they were counted by numbering the names after their polls, that did the work for the service of the house of the Lord, from twenty years old and upward.
25 Nimar Daudi nosewacho niya, “Nikech Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach Israel osemiyo joge yweyo kendo osebiro mondo odag Jerusalem nyaka chiengʼ,
For David said, The Lord the God of Israel hath given rest unto his people, and he dwelleth in Jerusalem for evermore.
26 onge tiende mondo jo-Lawi osik katingʼo Hemb Romo kata gige lemo mitiyogo e iye.”
And also the Levites are no more bound to carry the tabernacle, and all its vessels for the service thereof.
27 Kaluwore gi chike mogik mar Daudi, jo-Lawi nokwan kochakore jo-higni piero ariyo kata moloyo kanyo.
Therefore by the last words of David were there numbered of the Levites those who were from twenty years old and above;
28 Tij jo-Lawi ne en konyo nyikwa Harun tiyo e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye. Negirito laru, agulni mag od Nyasaye, luoko gik moko duto mopwodhi to gi timo tije mamoko e od Nyasaye.
Because their station was to be at the side of the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of the Lord, in the courts, and in the chambers, and by the purification of all holy things, and the work of the service of the house of God;
29 Gin ema ne gitedo makati mane iketo e mesa, mogo mar chiwo mar cham, makati ma ok oketie thowi, losogi kendo pimogi, bende rito gik moko duto mane ipimogo ngʼeny kod pek gik moko.
And for the shew-bread, which was put in rows, and for the fine flour for meat-offering, and for the unleavened cakes, and for that which is baked in the pan, and for that which is sodden, and for all manner of dry and wet measure;
30 Bende negichungʼ pile ka pile mondo gidwok erokamano kendo gipak Jehova Nyasaye. Nonego gitim kamano godhiambo bende,
And to stand every morning to thank and praise the Lord, and so also at evening,
31 kendo e kinde ka kinde manochiw misengini miwangʼo pep ne Jehova Nyasaye e odiechienge mag Sabato, kendo e Sawo mar Dwe manyien kendo e kinde mag sewni moyier. Nonego giti e nyim Jehova Nyasaye kinde ka kinde kaluwore gi kwan-gi kod yo mowinjore mane ochan-negi.
And at all the offering of burnt-offerings unto the Lord on the sabbaths, on the new moons, and on the appointed feasts, according to the number, and after the manner prescribed for them, continually before the Lord;
32 Kendo jo-Lawi notiyo tijegi mag Hemb Romo gi Kama Ler kotelnegi gi jowetegi ma gin nyikwa Harun mondo giti e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye.
And that they should keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren, in the service of the house of the Lord.
