1 Chronicles 23
1 Then David, being old and full of days, appointed his son Solomon as king over Israel.
Nígbà tí Dafidi sì dàgbà, tí ó sì di arúgbó, ó sì fi Solomoni ọmọ rẹ̀ jẹ ọba lórí Israẹli.
2 And he gathered together all the leaders of Israel, with the priests as well as the Levites.
Ó sì kó gbogbo àgbàgbà Israẹli jọ, àti gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn àlùfáà àti àwọn ará Lefi.
3 And the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty years and upward. And there were found thirty-eight thousand men.
Àwọn ọmọ Lefi láti ọgbọ̀n ọdún tàbí jù bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ ni wọ́n kà àpapọ̀ iye àwọn ọkùnrin wọn sì jẹ́ ẹgbàá mọ́kàndínlógún.
4 Of these, twenty-four thousand were chosen and distributed to the ministry of the house of the Lord. Then six thousand were overseers and judges.
Dafidi sì wí pe, ní ti èyí, ẹgbàá méjìlá ni kí wọn jẹ́ alábojútó iṣẹ́ ilé fún Olúwa àti ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́fà ni kí ó ṣe olórí àti onídàájọ́.
5 Moreover, four thousand were porters. And the same number were the singers of psalms to the Lord, with the musical instruments which he had made for the music.
Ẹgbàajì ni kí ó jẹ́ olùtọ́jú ẹnu-ọ̀nà àti ẹgbàajì ni kí o sì jẹ́ ẹni ti yóò máa yin Olúwa pẹ̀lú ohun èlò orin, mo ti ṣe èyí fún ìdí pàtàkì yìí.
6 And David distributed them into courses according to the sons of Levi, specifically, Gershom, and Kohath, and Merari.
Dafidi sì pín àwọn ọmọ Lefi sí ẹgbẹgbẹ́ láàrín àwọn ọmọ Lefi: Gerṣoni, Kohati àti Merari.
7 The sons of Gershom: Ladan and Shimei.
Àwọn tí ó jẹ́ ọmọ Gerṣoni: Laadani àti Ṣimei.
8 The sons of Ladan: the leader Jahiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three.
Àwọn ọmọ Laadani Jehieli ẹni àkọ́kọ́, Setamu àti Joẹli, mẹ́ta ní gbogbo wọn.
9 The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the leaders of the families of Ladan.
Àwọn ọmọ Ṣimei: Ṣelomiti, Hasieli àti Harani mẹ́ta ní gbogbo wọn. Àwọn wọ̀nyí sì ni olórí àwọn ìdílé Laadani.
10 Then the sons of Shimei: Jahath, and Zizah, and Jeush, and Beriah. These were the sons of Shimei, four.
Àti ọmọ Ṣimei: Jahati, Sina, Jeuṣi àti Beriah. Àwọn wọ̀nyí ni ọmọ Ṣimei mẹ́rin ni gbogbo wọn.
11 Now Jahath was first, Zizah second, but Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, and for this reason they were reckoned as one family and one house.
Jahati sì ni alákọ́kọ́ Sinah sì ni ẹlẹ́ẹ̀kejì, ṣùgbọ́n Jeuṣi àti Beriah kò ní àwọn ọmọ púpọ̀; bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n sì ka ara wọn sí ìdílé kan pẹ̀lú ìfilé lọ́wọ́ kan.
12 The sons of Kohath: Amram and Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel, four.
Àwọn ọmọ Kohati: Amramu, Isari, Hebroni àti Usieli mẹ́rin ni gbogbo wọn.
13 The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses. Now Aaron was separated so that he might minister in the Holy of Holies, he and his sons forever, and so that he might burn incense to the Lord, according to his rite, and so that he might bless his name in perpetuity.
Àwọn ọmọ Amramu. Aaroni àti Mose. A sì ya Aaroni sọ́tọ̀ òun àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ títí láéláé, láti kọjú sí ohun mímọ́ jùlọ, láti fi rú ẹbọ sísun níwájú Olúwa, láti máa ṣe òjíṣẹ́ níwájú rẹ̀ àti láti kéde ìbùkún ní orúkọ rẹ̀ títí láéláé.
14 The sons of Moses, the man of God, were also numbered in the tribe of Levi.
Àwọn ọmọ Mose ènìyàn Ọlọ́run ni wọ́n kà gẹ́gẹ́ bí apá kan ẹ̀yà Lefi.
15 The sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.
Àwọn ọmọ Mose: Gerṣomu àti Elieseri.
16 The sons of Gershom: Shebuel the first.
Àwọn ọmọ Gerṣomu: Ṣubaeli sì ni alákọ́kọ́.
17 Now the sons of Eliezer were Rehabiah the first. And there were no other sons for Eliezer. But the sons of Rehabiah were multiplied exceedingly.
Àwọn ọmọ Elieseri: Rehabiah sì ni ẹni àkọ́kọ́. Elieseri kò sì tún ní ọmọ mìíràn, ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ọmọ Rehabiah wọ́n sì pọ̀ níye.
18 The sons of Izhar: Shelomith the first.
Àwọn ọmọ Isari: Ṣelomiti sì ni ẹni àkọ́kọ́.
19 The sons of Hebron: Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, Jekameam the fourth.
Àwọn ọmọ Hebroni: Jeriah sì ni ẹni àkọ́kọ́, Amariah sì ni ẹni ẹ̀ẹ̀kejì, Jahasieli sì ni ẹ̀ẹ̀kẹ́ta àti Jekameamu ẹ̀ẹ̀kẹrin.
20 The sons of Uzziel: Micah the first, Isshiah the second.
Àwọn ọmọ Usieli: Mika ni àkọ́kọ́ àti Iṣiah ẹ̀ẹ̀kejì.
21 The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.
Àwọn ọmọ Merari: Mahili àti Muṣi. Àwọn ọmọ Mahili: Eleasari àti Kiṣi.
22 Then Eleazar died, and had no sons, but only daughters. And so the sons of Kish, their brothers, married them.
Eleasari sì kú pẹ̀lú àìní àwọn ọmọkùnrin: Ó ní ọmọbìnrin nìkan. Àwọn ọmọ ẹ̀gbọ́n, àwọn ọmọ Kiṣi, sì fẹ́ wọn.
23 The sons of Mushi: Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three.
Àwọn ọmọ Muṣi: Mahili, Ederi àti Jerimoti mẹ́ta ni gbogbo wọn.
24 These are the sons of Levi, in their kindred and families, leaders in turns, and the number of each of the heads who were doing the works of the ministry of the house of the Lord, from twenty years of age and upward.
Àwọn wọ̀nyí sì ni ọmọ Lefi bí ìdílé wọn. Olórí ìdílé gẹ́gẹ́ bí wọ́n ti fi orúkọ sílẹ̀ lábẹ́ orúkọ wọn, ó sì kà wọn ní ẹyọ kọ̀ọ̀kan, wí pé, àwọn òṣìṣẹ́ tí ó jẹ́ ogún ọdún tàbí jù bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ tí ń ṣiṣẹ́ ìsìn nínú ilé Olúwa.
25 For David said: “The Lord, the God of Israel, has given rest to his people, and a habitation in Jerusalem even unto eternity.
Nítorí pé Dafidi ti sọ pé, “Níwọ̀n ìgbà tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli, ti fi ìsinmi fún àwọn ènìyàn tí ó kù tí sì ń gbé Jerusalẹmu títí láéláé,
26 Neither shall it be the office of the Levites any more to carry the tabernacle with all its equipment for use in the ministry.”
àwọn ọmọ Lefi kò sì tún ru àgọ́ tàbí ọ̀kankan lára àwọn ohun èlò tí wọ́n ń lò níbi ìsìn rẹ̀.”
27 Also, according to the last precepts of David, the sons of Levi shall be counted by number from twenty years of age and upward.
Gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀rọ̀ ìkẹyìn Dafidi sí, àwọn ọmọ Lefi, wọ́n sì kà wọ́n, bẹ̀rẹ̀ láti orí àwọn ọmọ ogún ọdún tàbí jù bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ.
28 And they shall be under the hand of the sons of Aaron, in the care of the house of the Lord, in the vestibule, and in the chambers, and in the place of purification, and in the sanctuary, and in all the works of the ministry of the temple of the Lord.
Iṣẹ́ àwọn ọmọ Lefi ni láti ran àwọn ọmọ Aaroni lọ́wọ́ nínú iṣẹ́ wọn fún ti ilé Olúwa: láti wà lábẹ́ ìkáwọ́ agbára ìlú, àti ẹ̀gbẹ́ ilé, àti ìwẹ̀nùmọ́ ti gbogbo ohun ìyàsọ́tọ̀ àti ṣíṣe ohun tí í ṣe iṣẹ́ ìsìn nínú ilé Olúwa.
29 But the priests shall be over the bread of the presence, and the sacrifice of fine wheat flour, and the unleavened cakes, and the frying pan, and the roasting, and over every weight and measure.
Wọ́n sì wà ní ìkáwọ́ àkàrà tí wọ́n mú jáde láti orí tábìlì, àti ìyẹ̀fun fún ẹbọ, àti àkàrà aláìwú, àti fún púpọ̀ àti èyí tí a pòpọ̀, àti gbogbo onírúurú ìwọ̀n àti wíwọ̀n àti òsùwọ̀n.
30 Yet truly, the Levites shall stand to confess and to sing to the Lord, in the morning, and similarly in the evening,
Wọ́n sì gbọdọ̀ dúró ní gbogbo òwúrọ̀ láti dúpẹ́ àti láti yin Olúwa. Wọ́n sì gbọdọ̀ ṣe irú kan náà ní àṣálẹ́.
31 as much in the oblation of the holocausts of the Lord, as in the Sabbaths and new moons and other solemnities, according to the number and ceremonies for each and every matter, perpetually before the Lord.
Àti láti rú ẹbọ sísun fún Olúwa ní ọjọ́ ìsinmi àti ní àsìkò oṣù tuntun àti ní àjọ̀dún tí a yàn. Wọ́n gbọdọ̀ sìn níwájú Olúwa lójoojúmọ́ ní iye tó yẹ àti ní ọ̀nà tí a ti pàṣẹ fún wọn.
32 And let them keep the observances of the tabernacle of the covenant, and the rituals of the sanctuary, and the observance of the sons of Aaron, their brothers, so that they may minister in the house of the Lord.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni nígbà náà, àwọn ọmọ Lefi gbé ìgbékalẹ̀ jáde fún ìpàdé àgọ́, fún Ibi Mímọ́ àti, lábẹ́ àwọn arákùnrin àwọn ọmọ Aaroni fún ìsìn ilé Olúwa.
