1 Chronicles 9
1 So all Israel was recorded in the genealogies written in the Book of the Kings of Israel. But Judah was exiled to Babylon because of their unfaithfulness.
Aisraeli onse analembedwa potsata mibado yawo mʼbuku la mafumu a Aisraeli. Anthu a ku Yuda anatengedwa kunka ku ukapolo ku Babuloni chifukwa cha kusakhulupirika kwawo.
2 Now the first to resettle their own property in their cities were Israelites, priests, Levites, and temple servants.
Tsono anthu oyamba kukhala mʼmadera awo anali Aisraeli wamba, ansembe, Alevi ndi otumikira ku Nyumba ya Yehova.

17 These were the gatekeepers: Shallum, Akkub, Talmon, Ahiman, and their relatives. Shallum was their chief;
Alonda a pa makomo: Salumu, Akubu, Talimoni, Ahimani ndi abale awo. Mtsogoleri wawo anali Salumu.
18 he was previously stationed at the King’s Gate on the east side. These were the gatekeepers from the camp of the Levites.
Amenewa amakhala pa chipata cha mfumu kummawa mpaka lero lino. Alonda a gulu la Alevi anali awa:
19 Shallum son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his relatives from the Korahites were assigned to guard the thresholds of the Tent, just as their fathers had been assigned to guard the entrance to the dwelling of the LORD.
Salumu mwana wa Kore, mwana wa Ebiyasafu, mwana wa Kora, pamodzi ndi abale ake a ku banja la makolo ake, Akora aja ankanyangʼanira khomo la Tenti monga ankachitira abambo awo polondera khomo la malo okhalapo Yehova.
20 In earlier times Phinehas son of Eleazar had been in charge of the gatekeepers, and the LORD was with him.
Masiku oyamba Finehasi mwana wa Eliezara anali woyangʼanira alonda apakhomo ndipo Yehova anali naye.
21 Zechariah son of Meshelemiah was the gatekeeper at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
Zekariya mwana wa Meselemiya anali mlonda woyangʼanira pa chipata cha tenti ya msonkhano.
22 The number of those chosen to be gatekeepers at the thresholds was 212. They were registered by genealogy in their villages. David and Samuel the seer had appointed them to their positions of trust.
Onse amene anasankhidwa kukhala alonda pa khonde analipo 212. Iwo analembedwa mwa mibado yawo ku midzi yawo. Davide ndi mneneri Samueli ndiwo anawayika mʼmalo awo antchito chifukwa cha kukhulupirika kwawo.
23 So they and their descendants were assigned to guard the gates of the house of the LORD—the house called the Tent.
Iwo ndi zidzukulu zawo anali oyangʼanira zipata za nyumba ya Yehova imene imatchedwa Tenti.
24 The gatekeepers were stationed on the four sides: east, west, north, and south.
Alonda apakhomowa anali mbali zonse zinayi: kummawa, kumadzulo, kumpoto ndi kummwera.
25 Their relatives came from their villages at fixed times to serve with them for seven-day periods.
Abale awo a ku midzi yawo amabwera nthawi ndi nthawi kudzagwira ntchito yawo kwa masiku asanu ndi awiri.
26 But the four chief gatekeepers, who were Levites, were entrusted with the rooms and the treasuries of the house of God.
Koma atsogoleri akuluakulu anayi a alonda, amene anali Alevi, anapatsidwa udindo woyangʼanira zipinda ndi chuma cha nyumba ya Mulungu.
27 They would spend the night stationed around the house of God, because they were responsible for guarding it and opening it every morning.
Iwo amakhala usiku wonse atayima mozungulira Nyumba ya Mulungu, chifukwa anayenera kuyilondera. Ndipo anali ndi kiyi wotsekulira mmawa uliwonse.
28 Some of them were in charge of the articles used in worship, to count them whenever they were brought in or taken out.
Ena amayangʼanira zipangizo zimene amagwiritsa ntchito pa ntchito mʼNyumba ya Mulungu. Iwo amaziwerenga zikamalowetsedwa ndi potulutsidwa.
29 Others were put in charge of the furnishings and other articles of the sanctuary, as well as the fine flour, wine, oil, frankincense, and spices.
Ena anapatsidwa udindo wosamalira zipangizo ndi zinthu zina zonse za ku malo opatulika, pamodzi ndi ufa, vinyo, mafuta, lubani ndi zonunkhira.
30 And some of the sons of the priests mixed the spices.
Koma ansembe ena amasakaniza zonunkhirazo.
31 A Levite named Mattithiah, the firstborn son of Shallum the Korahite, was entrusted with baking the bread.
Mlevi wotchedwa Matitiya mwana woyamba wa Salumu wa mʼbanja la Kora, anapatsidwa udindo woyangʼanira zophikidwa mʼziwaya.
32 Some of their Kohathite brothers were responsible for preparing the rows of the showbread every Sabbath.
Abale ake ena a mʼbanja la Akohati amaphika buledi wa pa Sabata lililonse amene amayikidwa pa tebulo.
33 Those who were musicians, the heads of Levite families, stayed in the temple chambers and were exempt from other duties because they were on duty day and night.
Atsogoleri a mabanja a Alevi, amene anali ndi luso loyimba, amakhala mʼzipinda za Nyumba ya Mulungu ndipo samagwira ntchito zina chifukwa ankatumikira usana ndi usiku.
34 All these were heads of Levite families, chiefs according to their genealogies, and they lived in Jerusalem.
