1 Chronicles 9

1 So all Israel were listed by genealogies; and behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel. Judah was carried away captive to Babylon for their disobedience.

Batangaki bana nyonso ya Isalaele mpe bakomaki bakombo na bango na buku ya masolo ya bakonzi ya Isalaele. Bato ya Yuda bakendeki na bowumbu na Babiloni mpo na kozanga boyengebene.

2 Now the first inhabitants who lived in their possessions in their cities were Israel, the priests, the Levites, and the temple servants.

Bato ya liboso kati na bana ya Isalaele oyo bazongaki lisusu kovanda na bingumba na bango, ezalaki: ndambo ya bana ya Isalaele, Banganga-Nzambe, Balevi mpe basali ya Tempelo ya Yawe.

9 and their brothers, according to their generations, nine hundred fifty-six. All these men were heads of fathers’ households by their fathers’ houses.

Motango ya bato ya Benjame kolanda ndenge bakomamaki na buku ya mabota na bango, ezalaki nkama libwa na tuku mitano na motoba. Bato oyo nyonso bazalaki bakambi ya bituka na bango.

13 and their brothers, heads of their fathers’ houses, one thousand seven hundred sixty; they were very able men for the work of the service of God’s house.

17 The gatekeepers: Shallum, Akkub, Talmon, Ahiman, and their brothers (Shallum was the chief),

Ezalaki mpe na bakengeli bikuke: Shalumi, Akubi, Talimoni, Ayimani mpe bandeko na bango ya mibali. Shalumi nde azalaki mokonzi na bango.

18 who previously served in the king’s gate eastward. They were the gatekeepers for the camp of the children of Levi.

Kino lelo, bakitani ya Shalumi bakengelaka ekuke ya ngambo ya este ya Ndako ya Nzambe, ekuke oyo babengaka ekuke ya Mokonzi. Bango wana nde bakengeli bikuke kati na Balevi.

19 Shallum was the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his brothers, of his father’s house, the Korahites, were over the work of the service, keepers of the thresholds of the tent. Their fathers had been over the LORD’s camp, keepers of the entry.

Shalumi, mwana mobali ya Kore, mwana mobali ya Ebiazafi, mwana mobali ya Kore elongo na bandeko na bango mosusu ya libota ya Kore, bazalaki na mokumba ya kokengela ekuke ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani ndenge bakoko na bango bazalaki kokengela ekuke ya molako ya Yawe.

20 Phinehas the son of Eleazar was ruler over them in time past, and the LORD was with him.

21 Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was gatekeeper of the door of the Tent of Meeting.

Zakari, mwana mobali ya Meshelemia, azalaki mpe mokengeli ekuke ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani.

22 All these who were chosen to be gatekeepers in the thresholds were two hundred twelve. These were listed by genealogy in their villages, whom David and Samuel the seer ordained in their office of trust.

Bango nyonso oyo baponamaki mpo ete bazala bakengeli bikuke bazalaki nkama mibale na zomi na mibale. Bakomaki bakombo na bango na buku ya mabota kolanda bamboka na bango. Ezali Davidi mpe Samuele oyo azalaki momoni makambo nde batiaki bango na misala na bango.

23 So they and their children had the oversight of the gates of the LORD’s house, even the house of the tent, as guards.

Boye, bango elongo na bana na bango bazalaki na mokumba ya kokengela bikuke ya Tempelo ya Yawe; elingi koloba bikuke ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani.

24 On the four sides were the gatekeepers, toward the east, west, north, and south.

Bakengeli bikuke bazalaki na bangambo minei: este, weste, nor mpe sude.

25 Their brothers, in their villages, were to come in every seven days from time to time to be with them,

Bandeko na bango ya mibali oyo bazalaki na bamboka na bango, basengelaki koyaka tango na tango kosunga bango mikolo sambo.

26 for the four chief gatekeepers, who were Levites, were in an office of trust, and were over the rooms and over the treasuries in God’s house.

Kasi bakonzi minei ya bakengeli bikuke bazalaki Balevi oyo bazalaki na mokumba ya kokengela bashambre mpe bomengo ya Ndako ya Nzambe.

27 They stayed around God’s house, because that was their duty; and it was their duty to open it morning by morning.

Bazalaki kolekisa butu na zingazinga ya Ndako ya Nzambe mpo ete basengelaki kokengela yango mpe kofungola yango tongo nyonso.

28 Certain of them were in charge of the vessels of service, for these were brought in by count, and these were taken out by count.

Bamoko kati na bango bazalaki na mokumba ya kobatela bisalelo ya losambo mpe kotanga yango tango nyonso bazalaki kokotisa to kobimisa yango.

29 Some of them also were appointed over the furniture, and over all the vessels of the sanctuary, over the fine flour, the wine, the oil, the frankincense, and the spices.

Bamosusu kati na bango bazalaki na mokumba ya kobatela bambeki mpe bisalelo nyonso ya Esika ya bule: farine, vino, mafuta, ansa mpe malasi.

30 Some of the sons of the priests prepared the mixing of the spices.

Kasi bana mibali ya Banganga-Nzambe bazalaki kosala malasi.

31 Mattithiah, one of the Levites, who was the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite, had the office of trust over the things that were baked in pans.

32 Some of their brothers, of the sons of the Kohathites, were over the show bread, to prepare it every Sabbath.

Bamosusu kati na bango, bato ya Keati, bazalaki na mokumba ya kobongisa mapa na milongo mpo na basaba nyonso.

33 These are the singers, heads of fathers’ households of the Levites, who lived in the rooms and were free from other service, for they were employed in their work day and night.

Bayembi oyo bazalaki bakambi ya libota ya Levi, bazalaki tango nyonso kovanda na bashambre ya Ndako ya Nzambe. Bazalaki kosala mosala mosusu te kaka kosala kati na Ndako ya Nzambe butu mpe moyi.

Bango nyonso wana bazalaki bakambi ya libota ya Levi kolanda ndenge bakomamaki na buku ya mabota na bango; mpe bazalaki kovanda na Yelusalemi.
