1 These were the divisions of the gatekeepers: From the Korahites: Meshelemiah son of Kore, one of the sons of Asaph.
Hii ndiyo migawanyo ya mabawabu: Kutoka kwa wana wa Kora alikuwa: Meshelemia mwana wa Kore, mmoja wa wana wa Asafu.
2 Meshelemiah had sons: Zechariah the firstborn, Jediael the second, Zebadiah the third, Jathniel the fourth,

Amieli wa sita, Isakari wa saba, na Peulethai wa nane. (Kwa kuwa Mungu alikuwa amembariki Obed-Edomu.)
6 Also to his son Shemaiah were born sons who ruled over their families because they were strong, capable men.
Shemaya mwanawe pia alikuwa na wana, waliokuwa viongozi katika jamaa ya baba yao kwa sababu walikuwa watu wenye uwezo mkubwa.
7 Shemaiah’s sons were Othni, Rephael, Obed, and Elzabad; his brothers were Elihu and Semachiah, also capable men.
Wana wa Shemaya ni: Othni, Refaeli, Obedi na Elizabadi; jamaa zake Elihu na Semakia walikuwa pia watu wenye uwezo.
8 All these were descendants of Obed-edom; they and their sons and brothers were capable men with strength to do the work—62 in all from Obed-edom.
Hawa wote walikuwa wazao wa Obed-Edomu; wao na wana wao na jamaa zao walikuwa watu wenye uwezo pamoja na nguvu za kufanya kazi. Wazao wa Obed-Edomu jumla yao walikuwa sitini na wawili.
9 Meshelemiah also had sons and brothers who were capable men—18 in all.
Meshelemia alikuwa na wana na jamaa zake, waliokuwa watu wenye uwezo: jumla yao watu kumi na wanane.
10 Hosah the Merarite also had sons: Shimri the first (although he was not the firstborn, his father had appointed him as the first),
Hosa, Mmerari, alikuwa na wana wafuatao: Shimri alikuwa mkuu wao (baba yake alikuwa amemweka yeye kuwa mkuu ijapokuwa hakuwa mzaliwa wa kwanza),

12 These divisions of the gatekeepers, through their chief men, had duties for ministering in the house of the LORD, just as their brothers did.
Hii migawanyo ya mabawabu, kupitia wakuu wao, walikuwa na zamu za kuhudumu hekaluni mwa Bwana kama jamaa zao walivyokuwa nazo.
13 They cast lots for each gate, according to their families, young and old alike.
Kura zilipigwa kwa kila lango, kufuatana na jamaa zao, wakubwa kwa wadogo.
14 The lot for the East Gate fell to Shelemiah. Then lots were cast for his son Zechariah, a wise counselor, and the lot for the North Gate fell to him.
Kura ya Lango la Mashariki ilimwangukia Shelemia. Kisha wakapiga kura kwa Zekaria mwanawe, aliyekuwa mshauri mwenye hekima, nayo kura ya Lango la Kaskazini ikamwangukia.
15 The lot for the South Gate fell to Obed-edom, and the lot for the storehouses to his sons.
Kura ya Lango la Kusini ikamwangukia Obed-Edomu, nayo kura ya maghala ikawaangukia wanawe.

Kura za Lango la Magharibi na Lango la Shalekethi kwenye barabara ya juu zikawaangukia Shupimu na Hosa. Zamu za walinzi ziligawanywa kwa usawa:
17 Each day there were six Levites on the east, four on the north, four on the south, and two pairs at the storehouse.
Kulikuwa na Walawi sita kila siku upande wa mashariki, wanne upande wa kaskazini, wanne upande wa kusini, na wawili wawili kwa mara moja kwenye ghala.
18 As for the court on the west, there were four at the highway and two at the court.
Kuhusu ukumbi kuelekea magharibi, kulikuwa na wanne barabarani na wawili kwenye ukumbi wenyewe.
19 These were the divisions of the gatekeepers who were descendants of Korah and Merari.
Hii ndiyo iliyokuwa migawanyo ya mabawabu waliokuwa wazao wa Kora na wa Merari.
20 Now their fellow Levites were in charge of the treasuries of the house of God and the treasuries of the dedicated things.
Katika Walawi, Ahiya alikuwa mwangalizi wa hazina za nyumba ya Mungu na mwangalizi wa hazina za vitu vilivyowekwa wakfu.
21 From the descendants of Ladan, who were Gershonites through Ladan and heads of the families of Ladan the Gershonite, were Jehieli,
Wazao wa Ladani, waliokuwa Wagershoni kupitia Ladani na waliokuwa viongozi wa jamaa za Ladani Mgershoni, walikuwa Yehieli,
22 the sons of Jehieli, Zetham, and his brother Joel. They were in charge of the treasuries of the house of the LORD.

23 From the Amramites, the Izharites, the Hebronites, and the Uzzielites:
Kutoka kwa wana wa Amramu, wana wa Ishari, wana wa Hebroni na wana wa Uzieli:
24 Shebuel, a descendant of Gershom son of Moses, was the officer in charge of the treasuries.
Shebueli, mzao wa Gershomu mwana wa Mose, alikuwa afisa mwangalizi wa hazina.
25 His relatives through Eliezer included Rehabiah his son, Jeshaiah his son, Joram his son, Zichri his son, and Shelomith his son.
Jamaa zake kutoka kwa Eliezeri, wanawe walikuwa: Rehabia, Yeshaya, Yoramu, Zikri na Shelomithi.
26 This Shelomith and his brothers were in charge of all the treasuries for the things dedicated by King David, by the heads of families who were the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, and by the army commanders.
Shelomithi na jamaa zake walikuwa waangalizi wa hazina zote za vitu vile vilivyowekwa wakfu na Mfalme Daudi, kwa viongozi wa jamaa waliokuwa majemadari wa maelfu na majemadari wa mamia, na kwa maafisa wengine wa jeshi.
27 They had dedicated some of the plunder from their battles to the repair of the house of the LORD.
Baadhi ya nyara zilizotekwa vitani waliziweka wakfu kwa ajili ya ukarabati wa Hekalu la Bwana.
28 Everything that had been dedicated by Samuel the seer, Saul son of Kish, Abner son of Ner, and Joab son of Zeruiah, along with everything else that was dedicated, was under the care of Shelomith and his brothers.
Kila kitu kilichokuwa kimewekwa wakfu na Samweli mwonaji, na Sauli mwana wa Kishi, Abneri mwana wa Neri, na Yoabu mwana wa Seruya, pamoja na vitu vingine vyote vilivyokuwa vimewekwa wakfu, vyote vilikuwa chini ya uangalizi wa Shelomithi na jamaa zake.

Kutoka kwa wana wa Hebroni: Hashabia na jamaa zake, watu 1,700 wenye uwezo, waliwajibika katika Israeli magharibi ya Yordani kwa ajili ya kazi zote za Bwana na utumishi wa mfalme.
31 As for the Hebronites, Jerijah was the chief of the Hebronites, according to the genealogies of his ancestors. In the fortieth year of David’s reign the records were searched, and strong, capable men were found among the Hebronites at Jazer in Gilead.
Kuhusu wana wa Hebroni, Yeria alikuwa mkuu wao kufuatana na orodha ya jamaa yao. Katika mwaka wa arobaini wa utawala wa Daudi uchunguzi ulifanyika katika kumbukumbu, nao watu wenye uwezo miongoni mwa wana wa Hebroni wakapatikana huko Yazeri katika Gileadi.
32 Among Jerijah’s relatives there were 2,700 capable men who were heads of families. King David appointed them over the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh for every matter pertaining to God and to the affairs of the king.
Yeria alikuwa na jamaa ya watu 2,700 waliokuwa watu wenye uwezo na viongozi wa jamaa, naye Mfalme Daudi akawaweka kuangalia Wareubeni, Wagadi na nusu ya kabila Manase kuhusu kila jambo lililomhusu Mungu na shughuli za mfalme.
