1 Chronicles 26
1 These were the divisions of the gatekeepers: From the Korahites: Meshelemiah son of Kore, one of the sons of Asaph.
Huu ulikuwa mgawanyiko wa walinzi wa lango: Kutoka kwa Wakora, Meshelemia mwana wa Kore, wa uzao wa Asafu.
2 Meshelemiah had sons: Zechariah the firstborn, Jediael the second, Zebadiah the third, Jathniel the fourth,
Meshelemia alikuwa na wana wa kiume: Zekaria mzaliwa wa kwanza, Yediaeli wapili, Zebadia watatu, Yathinieli wanne,
3 Elam the fifth, Jehohanan the sixth, and Eliehoenai the seventh.

4 And Obed-edom also had sons: Shemaiah the firstborn, Jehozabad the second, Joah the third, Sachar the fourth, Nethanel the fifth,
Obedi alikuwa na wana wa kiume: Shemaia wa kwanza, Yehozabadi wapili, Yoa watatu, na Sakari wanne, na Nethanieli watano,
5 Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, and Peullethai the eighth. For God had blessed Obed-edom.
Amieli wasita, Isakari wasaba, Peulethai wanane, kwa kuwa Mungu alimbariki Obedi Edomu.
6 Also to his son Shemaiah were born sons who ruled over their families because they were strong, capable men.
Kwa Shemaia mwanae walizawa wana walio tawala familia zao; walikuwa wanaume wenye uwezo mbali mbali.
7 Shemaiah’s sons were Othni, Rephael, Obed, and Elzabad; his brothers were Elihu and Semachiah, also capable men.
Wana wa Shemaia walikuwa Othini, Refaeli, Obedi, na Elizabadi. Ndugu zake Elihu na Semakia walikuwa wanaume wenye uwezo mbali mbali.
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 uzao wa Obedi Edomu. Wao na wanao na ndugu zao walikuwa wanaume wenye uwezo wa kufanya wajibu wao katika huduma ya hema la kuabudia. Palikuwa na sitini na mbili walio kuwa na undugu na Obedi Edomu.

Meshelemia alikuwa na wana na ndugu, wanaume wenye uwezo, jumla ya kumi na nane.
10 Hosah the Merarite also had sons: Shimri the first (although he was not the firstborn, his father had appointed him as the first),

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.
Huu mgawanyiko wa walinzi wa lango, sambamba na viongozi, ulikuwa na majukumu, kama ndugu zao, kutumika katika nyumba ya Yahweh.
13 They cast lots for each gate, according to their families, young and old alike.
Walirusha kura, wadogo kwa wakubwa, kulingana na familia zao, kwa kila lango.
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 ilipo rushwa kwa lango la mashariki, ilimuangukia Shelemia. Kisha wakarusha kura kwa Zekaria mwana wake, mshauri makini, na kura yake ikatokea lango la kaskazini.
15 The lot for the South Gate fell to Obed-edom, and the lot for the storehouses to his sons.
Kwa Obedi Edomu kulipangiwa lango la kusini, na wanae walipangiwa nyumba za ghala.
16 The lots for the West Gate and the Shallecheth Gate on the ascending highway fell to Shuppim and Hosah. There were guards stationed at every watch.
Shufimu na Hosa walipangiwa lango la magharibi pamoja na lango la Shalekethi, kwa barabara ya juu. Lindo lilikabiidhiwa kwa kila familia.
17 Each day there were six Levites on the east, four on the north, four on the south, and two pairs at the storehouse.
Kwa mashariki walikuwa Walawi sita, kaskazini kwa siku moja, kusini kwa siku moja, na nyumba za ghala wawili.
18 As for the court on the west, there were four at the highway and two at the court.
Katika ua kuelekea magharibi wanne walipangwa, wanne barabarani, na wawili katika ua.
19 These were the divisions of the gatekeepers who were descendants of Korah and Merari.
Haya yalikuwa magawanyiko ya walinzi wa lango. Palijazwa na uzao wa Kora na Merari.
20 Now their fellow Levites were in charge of the treasuries of the house of God and the treasuries of the dedicated things.
Miongoni mwa Walawi, Ahija alikuwa kiongozi wa hazina ya nyumba ya Mungu, na hazina ya vitu vya Yahweh.
21 From the descendants of Ladan, who were Gershonites through Ladan and heads of the families of Ladan the Gershonite, were Jehieli,

Ndugu zake wa ukoo wa Eliezeri walikuwa Rehabia mwanae, mwana wa Rehabia Yeshaia, mwana wa Yeshaia Yoramu, mwana wa Yoramu Zikiri, na mwana wa Zikiri Shelomothi.
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.
Shelomothi na ndugu zake walikuwa wasimamizi wa nyumba zote za ghala zinazo hifadhi vitu vyote vya Yahweh, ambavyo Daudi mfalme, viongozi wa familia, wakuu wa maelfu na mamia, na wakuu wa jeshi walivyo vitenga.
27 They had dedicated some of the plunder from their battles to the repair of the house of the LORD.
Walitenga vitu walivyo vichukuwa kwenye mapambano kwa ajili ya kutunza nyumba ya Yahweh.
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.

Kutoka uzao wa Hebroni, Yeriya alikuwa kiongozi wa uzao wake, walihesabiwa kutoka orodha za familia zao. Katika mwaka wa arobaini wa utawala wa Daudi walitathimini kumbukumbu na kugundua miongoni mwao wanaume wa uwezo katika Yazeri ya Gileadi.
