1 Chronicles 23
1 And David was old and full of days; and he made Solomon his son king over Israel.
Kane Daudi koro oseti kendo hike ne ngʼeny, ne oketo wuode Solomon obedo ruodh Israel.
2 And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.
Bende ne ochoko jodongo duto mag jo-Israel kaachiel gi jodolo kod jo-Lawi.
3 And the Levites were numbered from thirty years old and upward; and their number, by their polls, man by man, was thirty-eight thousand.
Jo-Lawi machwo ma jo-higni piero adek kata moloyo kanyo nokwan, ne gin ji alufu piero adek gaboro.
4 Of these, twenty-four thousand were to preside over the work of the house of Jehovah; and six thousand were officers and judges;
Daudi nowacho niya, “Ji alufu piero ariyo gangʼwen kuomgi noket jorit tich e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye, to ji alufu auchiel kuomgi to noket jotelo kod jongʼad bura.
5 and four thousand were doorkeepers; and four thousand praised Jehovah with the instruments which I made, [said David, ] to praise [therewith].
Ji alufu angʼwen, to noket jorit rangeye, kendo ji alufu angʼwen mamoko, to noket jopak Jehova Nyasaye gi thumbe ma asechiwo nikech tijni.”
6 And David divided them into courses according to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
Daudi nopogo jo-Lawi e migepe kaluwore gi yawuot Lawi ma gin Gershon, Kohath kod Merari.
7 Of the Gershonites: Laadan and Shimei.
Koa kuom joka Gershon, ne gin: Ladan kod Shimei.
8 The sons of Laadan: the head was Jehiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three.
Yawuot Ladan ne gin: Jehiel wuode makayo, kiluwe gi Zetham kod Joel, giduto ne gin ji adek.
9 The sons of Shimei: Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the chief fathers of Laadan.
Yawuot Shimei ne gin: Shelomoth, Haziel kod Haran, giduto ne gin ji adek. Magi ema ne jotend anywola mar Ladan.
10 And the sons of Shimei: Jahath, Ziza, and Jeush, and Beriah. These were the four sons of Shimei.
To yawuot Shimei ne gin: Jahath, Ziza, Jeush kod Beria. Magi ema ne yawuot Shimei, giduto ne gin ji angʼwen.
11 And Jahath was the head, and Ziza the second; and Jeush and Beriah had not many sons: as father's house, therefore, they were reckoned as one.
Jahath ema ne kayo, Ziza ne luwe, to Jeush kod Beria nokwan kaka dhoot achiel moriwgi e tich achiel nikech yawuotgi ne nok.
12 The sons of Kohath: Amram, Jizhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.
Yawuot Kohath ne gin: Amram, Izhar, Hebron kod Uziel, giduto ne gin ji angʼwen.
13 The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses. And Aaron was separated, that he should be hallowed as most holy, he and his sons for ever, to offer before Jehovah, to do service to him, and to bless in his name for ever.
Yawuot Amram ne gin: Harun kod Musa. Harun gi nyikwaye to nowal nyaka chiengʼ mondo opwodh gik maler moloyo, kendo ochiw misango e nyim Jehova Nyasaye kendo mondo gitine kendo gigwedh ji e nyinge nyaka chiengʼ.
14 — And as to Moses the man of God, his sons were named of the tribe of Levi.
Yawuot Musa, ngʼat Nyasaye, to nokwan kaka achiel kuom dhood jo-Lawi.
15 The sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.
Yawuot Musa ne gin: Gershom kod Eliezer.
16 The sons of Gershom: Shebuel the head.
Nyikwa Gershom ne gin: Shubael mane wuowi makayo.
17 And the sons of Eliezer: Rehabiah the head; and Eliezer had no other sons, but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.
Nyikwa Eliezer ne gin: Rehabia mane wuowi makayo. Eliezer ne onge gi yawuowi mamoko, to yawuot Rehabia ne ngʼeny moloyo.
18 — The sons of Jizhar: Shelomith the head.
Yawuot Izhar ne gin: Shelomith mane wuowi makayo.
19 The sons of Hebron: Jeriah the head, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
Yawuot Hebron ne gin: Jeria mane wuowi makayo, Amaria mar ariyo, Jahaziel mar adek gi Jekameam mar angʼwen.
20 The sons of Uzziel: Micah the head, and Jishijah the second.
Yawuot Uziel ne gin: Mika mane wuowi makayo kod Ishia wuowi mar ariyo.
21 The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.
Yawuot Merari ne gin: Mali kod Mushi. Yawuot Mali ne gin: Eliazar kod Kish.
22 And Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters; and their brethren the sons of Kish took them.
Eliazar notho kapok onywolo yawuowi, ne en mana gi nyiri kende. Owetegi ma yawuot Kish nokendogi.
23 The sons of Mushi: Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three.
Yawuot Mushi ne gin: Mali, Eder kod Jerimoth, giduto ne gin ji adek.
24 These were the sons of Levi according to their fathers' houses, the chief fathers, as they were reckoned, by number of names by their polls, who did the work of the service of the house of Jehovah, from twenty years old and upward.
Magi ema ne nyikwa Lawi kochan-gi kaluwore gi anywolagi mane gin jotelo mag anywola mana kaka nondik nying-gi kendo kokwan-gi ngʼato ka ngʼato, mane gin jotich mahikgi piero ariyo kata moloyo kanyo mane tiyo e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye.
25 For David said, Jehovah the God of Israel has given rest to his people, and he will dwell in Jerusalem for ever;
Nimar Daudi nosewacho niya, “Nikech Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach Israel osemiyo joge yweyo kendo osebiro mondo odag Jerusalem nyaka chiengʼ,
26 and the Levites also have no more to carry the tabernacle, nor any of its vessels for its service.
onge tiende mondo jo-Lawi osik katingʼo Hemb Romo kata gige lemo mitiyogo e iye.”
27 For by the last words of David was this [done], — the numbering of the sons of Levi from twenty years old and upward.
Kaluwore gi chike mogik mar Daudi, jo-Lawi nokwan kochakore jo-higni piero ariyo kata moloyo kanyo.
28 For their place was by the side of the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of Jehovah, over the courts, and over the chambers, and over the purifying of all holy things, and [for] the work of the service of the house of God;
Tij jo-Lawi ne en konyo nyikwa Harun tiyo e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye. Negirito laru, agulni mag od Nyasaye, luoko gik moko duto mopwodhi to gi timo tije mamoko e od Nyasaye.
29 and for the loaves to be set in rows, and for the fine flour for the oblation, and for the unleavened cakes, and for [what is baked in] the pan, and for that which is saturated [with oil], and for all measure of capacity and size;
Gin ema ne gitedo makati mane iketo e mesa, mogo mar chiwo mar cham, makati ma ok oketie thowi, losogi kendo pimogi, bende rito gik moko duto mane ipimogo ngʼeny kod pek gik moko.
30 and to stand every morning to thank and praise Jehovah, and likewise at even;
Bende negichungʼ pile ka pile mondo gidwok erokamano kendo gipak Jehova Nyasaye. Nonego gitim kamano godhiambo bende,
31 and for all burnt-offerings offered up to Jehovah on the sabbaths, on the new moons, and on the set feasts, by number, according to the ordinance concerning them, continually, before Jehovah;
kendo e kinde ka kinde manochiw misengini miwangʼo pep ne Jehova Nyasaye e odiechienge mag Sabato, kendo e Sawo mar Dwe manyien kendo e kinde mag sewni moyier. Nonego giti e nyim Jehova Nyasaye kinde ka kinde kaluwore gi kwan-gi kod yo mowinjore mane ochan-negi.
32 and they kept the charge of the tent of meeting, and the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren, in the service of the house of Jehovah.
Kendo jo-Lawi notiyo tijegi mag Hemb Romo gi Kama Ler kotelnegi gi jowetegi ma gin nyikwa Harun mondo giti e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye.
