1 Chronicles 6

1 The sons of Levi: Gershom, Kohath, and Merari.

Vanakomana vaRevhi vaiva Gerishoni, Kohati naMerari.

2 The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.

Vanakomana vaKohati vaiva: Amiramu, Izhari, Hebhuroni naUzieri.

3 The sons of Amram: Aaron, Moses, and Miriam. The sons of Aaron: Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.

Vana vaAmiramu vaiva: Aroni, Mozisi naMiriamu. Vanakomana vaAroni vaiva: Nadhabhi, Abhihu, Ereazari naItamari.

4 Eleazar conceived Phinehas, and Phinehas conceived Abishua.

Ereazari aiva baba vaFinehasi, Finehasi baba vaAbhishua,

5 Truly, Abishua conceived Bukki, and Bukki conceived Uzzi.

Abhishua baba vaBhuki, Bhuki baba vaUzi,

6 Uzzi conceived Zerahiah, and Zerahiah conceived Meraioth.

Uzi baba vaZerahia, Zerahia baba vaMerayoti,

7 Then Meraioth conceived Amariah, and Amariah conceived Ahitub.

Merayoti baba vaAmaria, Amaria baba vaAhitubhi,

8 Ahitub conceived Zadok, and Zadok conceived Ahimaaz.

Ahitubhi baba vaZadhoki, Zadhoki baba vaAhimaazi,

9 Ahimaaz conceived Azariah; Azariah conceived Johanan.

Ahimaazi baba vaAzaria, Azaria baba vaJohanani,

10 Johanan conceived Azariah. He is the one who executed the priestly office in the house that Solomon built in Jerusalem.

Johanani baba vaAzaria. (Ndiye aibata basa somuprista mutemberi yakavakwa naSoromoni muJerusarema.)

11 Now Azariah conceived Amariah, and Amariah conceived Ahitub.

Azaria baba vaAmaria, Amaria baba vaAhitubhi.

12 Ahitub conceived Zadok, and Zadok conceived Shallum.

Ahitubhi baba vaZadhoki, Zadhoki baba vaSharumi,

13 Shallum conceived Hilkiah, and Hilkiah conceived Azariah.

Sharumi baba vaHirikia, Hirikia baba vaAzaria,

14 Azariah conceived Seraiah, and Seraiah conceived Jehozadak.

Azaria baba vaSeraya uye Seraya baba vaJehozadhaki.

15 Now Jehozadak departed, when the Lord took away Judah and Jerusalem, by the hands of Nebuchadnezzar.

(Jehozadhaki akadzingwa Jehovha paakaendesa Judha neJerusarema kuutapwa noruoko rwaNebhukadhinezari.)

16 So the sons of Levi were Gershom, Kohath, and Merari.

Vanakomana vaRevhi vaiva: Gerishoni, Kohati naMerari.

17 And these are the names of the sons of Gershom: Libni and Shimei.

Aya ndiwo mazita avanakomana vaGerishoni: Ribhini naShimei.

Vanakomana vaKohati vaiva: Amiramu, Izhari, Hebhuroni naUzieri.

31 These are the ones whom David appointed over the singing men in the house of the Lord, in the place where the ark was located.

Ava ndivo varume vakagadzwa naDhavhidhi kuti vafambise basa rokuimba muimba yaJehovha mushure mokunge areka yawana pokuzorora imomo.

32 And they ministered before the tabernacle of the testimony with singing, until Solomon built the house of the Lord in Jerusalem. And they would stand according to their order in the ministry.

Vaishumira uye vaiimba pamberi petabhenakeri, muTende Rokusangana, kusvikira Soromoni avaka temberi yaJehovha muJerusarema. Vaibata basa ravo maererano nemitemo yavakanga vakadzikirwa.

48 There were also their brothers, Levites who were appointed for every ministry of the tabernacle of the house of the Lord.

Vamwe vavo vaRevhi vakapiwa mamwe mabasa ose omutabhenakeri, imba yaMwari.

49 Truly, Aaron and his sons were burning offerings upon the altar of holocausts and upon the altar of incense, for the entire work of the Holy of Holies, and to pray on behalf of Israel, in accord with all the things that Moses, the servant of God, had instructed.

Asi Aroni nezvizvarwa zvake ndivo vaiisa zvipiriso paaritari yezvipiriso zvinopiswa uye nepaaritari yezvinonhuhwira maererano nezvose zvaiitwa paNzvimbo Tsvene-tsvene, vachiyananisira Israeri maererano nezvose zvakanga zvarayirwa Mozisi muranda waMwari.

54 And these are their habitations according to the villages and confines, specifically of the sons of Aaron, according to the kindred of the Kohathites. For it fell to them by lot.

55 And so, they gave Hebron, in the land of Judah, and its suburbs all around, to them,

Vakapiwa Hebhuroni iri muJudha namafuro ose akaipoteredza.

56 but they gave the fields of the city, and the villages, to Caleb, the son of Jephunneh.

Zvimwe zvizvarwa zvaKohati zvakagoverwa maguta gumi kubva kudzimba dzorudzi rwehafu rwaManase.

62 and to the sons of Gershom, according to their families, from the tribe of Issachar, and from the tribe of Asher, and from the tribe of Naphtali, and from the tribe Manasseh in Bashan: thirteen cities.
