1 Kane Daudi koro oseti kendo hike ne ngʼeny, ne oketo wuode Solomon obedo ruodh Israel.
So 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 assembled 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.
Now the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty years and upward: and their number by their polls, man by man, 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 which, twenty and four thousand [were] to oversee 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.”
Moreover, four thousand [were] porters; and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I made, [said David], to praise [with them].
6 Daudi nopogo jo-Lawi e migepe kaluwore gi yawuot Lawi ma gin Gershon, Kohath kod Merari.

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 Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second: but Jeush and Beriah had not many sons; therefore they were in one reckoning, according to [their] father's house.

These [were] the sons of Levi after the house of their fathers; [even] the chief of the fathers, as they were counted by number of names by their polls, that did the work for the service of the house of the LORD, from the age of twenty years 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 God of Israel hath given rest to his people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem for ever;
26 onge tiende mondo jo-Lawi osik katingʼo Hemb Romo kata gige lemo mitiyogo e iye.”
And also to the Levites: they shall no [more] carry the tabernacle, nor any vessels of it for its service.
27 Kaluwore gi chike mogik mar Daudi, jo-Lawi nokwan kochakore jo-higni piero ariyo kata moloyo kanyo.
For by the last words of David the Levites [were] numbered 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 office [was] to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of the LORD, in the courts, and in the chambers, and in the purifying 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.
Both for the show-bread, 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 fried, and for all manner of measure and size;
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 likewise 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 to offer all burnt-sacrifices to the LORD on the sabbaths, in the new moons, and on the set feasts, by number, according to the order commanded to 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 holy [place], and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren, in the service of the house of the LORD.
