1 Chronicles 26
1 Now the divisions of the porters were, from the Korahites: Meshelemiah, the son of Kore, of the sons of Asaph.
Ngezigaba zabalindi bamasango. KwabakoKora kwakunguMeshelemiya indodana kaKore wamadodana kaAsafi.
2 The sons of Meshelemiah: Zechariah the firstborn, Jediael the second, Zebadiah the third, Jathniel the fourth,
LoMeshelemiya wayelamadodana, uZekhariya izibulo, uJediyayeli owesibili, uZebhadiya owesithathu, uJathiniyeli owesine,
3 Elam the fifth, Jehohanan the sixth, Eliehoenai the seventh.
uElamu owesihlanu, uJehohanani owesithupha, uEliyohenayi owesikhombisa.
4 Then the sons of Obededom: Shemaiah the firstborn, Jehozabad the second, Joah the third, Sachar the fourth, Nethanel the fifth,
UObedi-Edoma laye wayelamadodana, uShemaya izibulo, uJehozabadi owesibili, uJowa owesithathu, uSakari owesine, loNethaneli owesihlanu,
5 Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, Peullethai the eighth. For the Lord had blessed him.
uAmiyeli owesithupha, uIsakari owesikhombisa, uPhewulethayi owesificaminwembili; ngoba uNkulunkulu wayembusisile.
6 Now to his son Shemaiah, there were born sons, rulers of their families. For they were very strong men.
LakuShemaya indodana yakhe kwazalwa amadodana abusa jikelele endlini kayise, ngoba ayengamaqhawe alamandla.
7 Then the sons of Shemaiah were Othni, and Rephael, and Obed, Elzabad and his brothers, very strong men, as well as Elihu and Semachiah.
Amadodana kaShemaya: O-Othini, loRefayeli, loObedi, uElizabadi, abafowabo, amadodana alamandla, oElihu loSemakhiya.
8 All these were from the sons of Obededom: they and their sons and brothers, very fit for the ministry, sixty-two from Obededom.
Bonke laba babengabamadodana kaObedi-Edoma, bona lamadodana abo labafowabo, amadoda enelisayo ngamandla omsebenzi, bengamatshumi ayisithupha lambili bakoObedi-Edoma.
9 Then there were the sons of Meshelemiah and their brothers, very robust men, eighteen.
Njalo uMeshelemiya wayelamadodana labafowabo, amadodana alamandla, elitshumi lesificaminwembili.
10 Now, from Hosah, that is, from the sons of Merari: Shimri the leader, for he had not had a firstborn son, and so, because of this, his father had appointed him as the leader,
UHosha laye emadodaneni kaMerari wayelamadodana, uShimiri inhloko (lanxa wayengeyisilo izibulo, kodwa uyise wamenza waba yinhloko);
11 Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third, Zechariah the fourth. All these, the sons and brothers of Hosah, were thirteen.
uHilikhiya owesibili, uTebaliya owesithathu, uZekhariya owesine; wonke amadodana labafowabo bakaHosa babelitshumi lantathu.
12 These were distributed as porters, so that the leaders of the posts, as well as their brothers, were ministering continually in the house of the Lord.
Phakathi kwalabo kwakulezigaba zabalindi bamasango; izinhloko zamadoda zilemilandu njengabafowabo, ukukhonza endlini yeNkosi.
13 Then they cast lots equally, for both the small and the great, by their families, concerning each one of the gates.
Basebesenza inkatho yokuphosa, omncinyane laye njengomkhulu, ngokwendlu yaboyise, besenzela isango lesango.
14 And the lot of the east fell out to Shelemiah. But to his son Zechariah, a very prudent and learned man, the northern section was obtained by lot.
Inkatho yempumalanga yawela-ke phezu kukaShelemiya; basebesenza inkatho yokuphosa ngoZekhariya indodana yakhe, umeluleki ohlakaniphileyo; inkatho yakhe yasiphuma ngenyakatho.
15 Truly, Obededom and his sons obtained that to the south, in the part of the house where the council of elders was.
KuObedi-Edoma ngeningizimu; lakumadodana akhe, indlu yokulondoloza.
16 Shuppim and Hosah obtained that toward the west, beside the gate that leads to the way of the ascent, one post facing the other.
KuShupimi lakuHosa ngentshonalanga, lesango iShalekethi elisemgwaqweni omkhulu oya phezulu, umlindi ngomlindi.
17 Truly, toward the east there were six Levites, and toward the north there were four per day, and then toward the south similarly there were four each day. And where the council was, there were two and two.
Ngempumalanga kwakulamaLevi ayisithupha, ngenyakatho abane ngosuku, ngeningizimu abane ngosuku, leziphaleni ababili ngababili;
18 Also, in the cells of the porters toward the west, there were four along the way, and two at every cell.
eParibari ngentshonalanga, abane emgwaqweni omkhulu, ababili eParibari.
19 These are the divisions of the porters of the sons of Kohath and of Merari.
Lezi yizigaba zabalindi bamasango bamadodana amaKora labamadodana kaMerari.
20 Now Ahijah was over the treasuries of the house of God, and the holy vessels.
LakumaLevi, uAhiya wayephethe izinto eziligugu zendlu kaNkulunkulu, njalo wayephethe izinto eziligugu zezinto ezingcwele.
21 The sons of Ladan, sons of Gershon: from Ladan, leaders of the families of Ladan and of Gershon: Jehieli.
Amadodana kaLadani, abantwana bomGerishoni uLadani, kaLadani umGerishoni, inhloko zaboyise zazingoJehiyeli.
22 The sons of Jehieli: Zetham and Joel; his brothers were over the treasuries of the house of the Lord,
Amadodana kaJehiyeli: UZethamu, loJoweli umfowabo, babephethe izinto eziligugu zendlu yeNkosi.
23 with the Amramites, and Izharites, and Hebronites, and Uzzielites.
KumaAmramu, kumaIzihari, kumaHebroni, kumaUziyeli.
24 Now, Shebuel, the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, was in the first place over the treasuries,
LoShebuweli indodana kaGereshoma indodana kaMozisi wayeyisiphathamandla phezu kwezinto eziligugu.
25 along with his brothers, Eliezer, and his son Rehabiah, and his son Jeshaiah, and his son Joram, and also his son Zichri, and his son Shelomoth.
Labafowabo abakaEliyezeri: ORehabhiya indodana yakhe, loJeshaya indodana yakhe, loJoramu indodana yakhe, loZikiri indodana yakhe, loShelomithi indodana yakhe.
26 The same Shelomoth and his brothers were over the treasuries of the holy things, which king David sanctified, with the leaders of the families, and the tribunes, and the centurions, and the commanders of the army.
UShelomithi lo labafowabo babephethe zonke izinto eziligugu zezinto ezingcwele uDavida inkosi ayezingcwelisile, lenhloko zaboyise, lenduna zezinkulungwane lezamakhulu, labalawulimabutho.
27 These things were from the wars and from the best spoils of the battles, which they had consecrated for the repair and the furnishing of the temple of the Lord.
Kokwempi lokwempangweni bakungcwelisela ukulungisa indlu yeNkosi.
28 Now all these things were sanctified by Samuel, the seer, and by Saul, the son of Kish, and by Abner, the son of Ner, and by Joab, the son of Zeruiah. All those who had sanctified these were under the hand of Shelomoth and his brothers.
Lakho konke uSamuweli umboni ayekungcwelisile, loSawuli indodana kaKishi loAbhineri indodana kaNeri loJowabi indodana kaZeruya; konke okwakungcwelisiwe kwakungaphansi kwesandla sikaShelomithi labafowabo.
29 Yet truly, Chenaniah and his sons were over the Izharites, for the exterior works concerning Israel, in order to teach and to judge them.
KumaIzihari uKenaniya lamadodana akhe babengabomsebenzi wangaphandle phezu kukaIsrayeli, beyizinduna bengabahluleli.
30 Now from the Hebronites, Hashabiah and his brothers, one thousand seven hundred very strong men, were in charge of Israel across the Jordan toward the west, in all the works of the Lord, and in the ministry of the king.
KumaHebroni uHashabhiya labafowabo, amadoda alamandla, ayinkulungwane lamakhulu ayisikhombisa, babephethe iziphathamandla zakoIsrayeli nganeno kweJordani ngentshonalanga, emsebenzini wonke kaJehova lenkonzweni yenkosi.
31 And the leader of the Hebronites was Jerijah, according to their families and kindred. In the fortieth year of the reign of David, they were numbered, and there were found very strong men in Jazer Gilead.
KumaHebroni uJeriya wayeyinhloko, kumaHebroni, ngokwezizukulwana zaboyise. Ngomnyaka wamatshumi amane wokubusa kukaDavida adingwa, kwasekutholwa phakathi kwawo amaqhawe alamandla eJazere yeGileyadi.
32 And his brothers of a mature age were two thousand seven hundred leaders of families. Then king David placed them in charge of the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the one half tribe of Manasseh, in all of the ministries of God and of the king.
Labafowabo amadoda alamandla ayezinkulungwane ezimbili lamakhulu ayisikhombisa, inhloko zezindlu. UDavida inkosi wasebenza abaphathi phezu kwabakoRubeni labakoGadi lengxenye yesizwe sakoManase ezintweni zonke zikaNkulunkulu lezinto zenkosi.
