1 Chronicles 23
1 And David being old and full of days, made Solomon his son king over Israel.
Mgbe Devid ghọrọ nnọọ agadi, ụbọchị ndụ ya jukwara ya afọ, o mere Solomọn nwa ya, eze Izrel.
2 And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, and the priests and Levites.
Nʼoge a, ọ kpọkọtara ndị ndu Izrel niile, tinyekwara ndị nchụaja na ndị Livayị.
3 And the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty years, and upwards: and there were found of them thirty-eight thousand men.
A gụrụ ndị Livayị niile ọnụ, bụ ndị gbara iri afọ atọ gbagoo, chọpụta na ha dị iri puku ndị ikom atọ na asatọ nʼọnụọgụgụ.
4 Of these twenty-four thousand were chosen, and distributed unto the ministry of the house of the Lord: and six thousand were the overseers and judges.
Devid sịrị, “Nʼime ndị a, ka iri puku ndị ikom abụọ na anọ bụrụ ndị ga-ahụ maka ọrụ ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị, puku ndị ikom isii a bụrụ ndịisi na ndị ikpe,
5 Moreover four thousand were porters: and as many singers singing to the Lord with the instruments, which he had made to sing with.
puku ndị ikom anọ abụrụ ndị nche ọnụ ụzọ ama, ebe puku ndị ikom anọ ndị ọzọ ga-eji ihe egwu dị iche iche nke m kwadobere maka ito Onyenwe anyị, na-eto ya.”
6 And David distributed them into courses by the families of the sons of Levi, to wit, of Gerson, and of Caath, and of Merari.
Devid kewara ndị Livayị nʼoke, nʼoke dịka ụmụ ndị ikom Livayị si dị: Geshọn, Kohat na Merari.
7 The sons of Gerson were Leedan and Semei.
E kekwara ikwu Geshọn ụzọ abụọ dịka ụmụ ya si dị, Ladan na Shimei.
8 The sons of Leedan: the chief Jahiel, and Zethan, and Joel, three.
Ndị sitere nʼezinaụlọ Ladan dị ndị ikom atọ: Jehiel, onyeisi ha, Zetam na Juel.
9 The sons of Semei: Salomith, and Hosiel, and Aran, three: these were the heads of the families of Leedan.
Ụmụ Shimei bụ, Shelomot, Haziel na Haran, ha dị ndị ikom atọ. Ndị a niile bụ ndịisi ezinaụlọ nʼikwu Ladan.
10 And the sons of Semei were Leheth, and Ziza, and Jaus, and Baria: these were the sons of Semei, four.
Ụmụ Shimei bụ, Jahat, Ziza, Jeush na Beriya. Ha dị ndị ikom anọ.
11 And Leheth was the first, Ziza the second: but Jaus and Baria had not many children, and therefore they were counted in one family, and in one house.
Jahat bụ onye mbụ, Ziza onye nke abụọ. Ma Jeush na Beriya amụtaghị ọtụtụ ụmụ ndị ikom. Nʼihi ya, a gụnyekọtara ha dịka otu ezinaụlọ, kenye ha otu ọrụ.
12 The sons of Caath were Amram, and Isaar, Hebron, and Oziel, four.
Ụmụ ndị ikom Kohat bụ Amram, Izha, Hebrọn na Uziel. Ha dị ndị ikom anọ.
13 The sons of Amram, Aaron, and Moses. And Aaron was separated to minister in the holy of holies, he and his sons for ever, and to burn incense before the Lord, according to his ceremonies, and to bless his name for ever.
Ụmụ ndị ikom Amram bụ, Erọn na Mosis. Erọn ka e kewapụrụ iche, ido ya nsọ ya na ụmụ ya ruo ebighị ebi, maka ido ihe niile kachasị nsọ nsọ, ịchụ aja nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, ije ozi nʼihu ya nakwa ikwupụta ngọzị nʼaha ya ruo ebighị ebi.
14 The sons also of Moses, the man of God, were numbered in the tribe of Levi.
Ụmụ Mosis, onye nke Chineke ka a gụnyekọtara dịka ndị si nʼebo Livayị.
15 The sons of Moses were Gersom and Eliezer:
Ụmụ ndị ikom Mosis bụ, Geshọm na Elieza.
16 The sons of Gersom: Subuel the first.
Ụmụ ndị ikom Geshọm bụ Shubuel, onye mbụ.
17 And the sons of Eliezer were: Rohobia the first: and Eliezer had no more sons. But the sons of Rohobia were multiplied exceedingly.
Ụmụ ụmụ Elieza bụ Rehabaya onye mbụ. Elieza amụtaghị ụmụ ndị ikom ọzọ, ma ụmụ ndị ikom Rohabaya dị ọtụtụ.
18 The sons of Isaar: Salomith the first.
Ụmụ ndị ikom Izha bụ Shelomit onye mbụ.
19 The sons of Hebron: Jeriau the first, Amarias the second, Jahaziel the third, Jecmaam the fourth.

21 The sons of Merari: Moholi, and Musi. The sons of Moholi: Eleazar and Cia.
Ụmụ ndị ikom Merari bụ Mahali na Mushi Ụmụ ndị ikom Mali bụ Elieza na Kish
22 And Eleazar died, and had no sons but daughters: and the sons of Cis their brethren took them.
Elieza nwụrụ na-amụtaghị ụmụ ndị ikom. Ọ bụ naanị ụmụ ndị inyom ka ọ mụtara. Ụmụ nwanne nna ha, ụmụ ndị ikom Kish, lụrụ ha.
23 The sons of Musi: Moholi, and Eder, and Jerimoth, three.
Ụmụ ndị ikom Mushi bụ Mahali, Eda na Jeremot. Ha dị ndị ikom atọ.
24 These are the sons of Levi in their kindreds and families, princes by their courses, and the number of every head that did the works of the ministry of the house of the Lord from twenty years old and upward.
Ndị a bụ ụmụ ụmụ Livayị dịka ezinaụlọ ha si dị, ndịisi ezi, dịka e si debanye aha, na dịka e si gụọ ha ọnụ nʼotu nʼotu, ya bụ ndị na-arụ ọrụ nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị, ndị gbara iri afọ abụọ gbagoo.
25 For David said: The Lord the God of Israel hath given rest to his people, and a habitation in Jerusalem for ever.
Nʼihi na Devid kwuru sị, “Ebe ọ bụ na Onyenwe anyị, Chineke Izrel enyela ndị ya udo, ebe ọ bụkwa na ọ ga-ebi na Jerusalem ruo ebighị ebi.
26 And it shall not be the office of the Levites to carry any more the tabernacle, and all the vessels for the service thereof.
Ugbu a, ọ dịkwaghị mkpa ọ dị na ndị Livayị ga na-ebugharị ụlọ ikwu, maọbụ ngwongwo ọbụla nke ije ozi niile ya.”
27 So according to the last precepts of David, the sons of Levi are to be numbered from twenty years old and upward.
Ịgụ ndị Livayị ọnụ bụ otu nʼime ihe ikpeazụ Devid mere tupu ọ nwụọ. A gụrụ ndị Livayị gbara iri afọ abụọ gbagoo ọnụ.
28 And they are to be under the hand of the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of the Lord, in the porches, 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.
Ọrụ e nyere ndị Livayị niile bụ inyere ụmụ Erọn ndị nchụaja aka nʼofufe nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị: ilekọta ogige, na ọnụụlọ nta ndị dị nʼakụkụ ya niile, na ime ka ihe nsọ niile dị ọcha, na ịrụ ọrụ ọbụla e nyere ha nʼụlọ Chineke.
29 And the priests have the charge of the leaves of proposition, and of the sacrifice of fine flour, and of the unleavened cakes, and of the fryingpan, and of the roasting, and of every weight and measure.
Ọ bụkwa ọrụ ha iwebata achịcha a na-eche nʼihu Chineke, na ụtụ ọka e ji enye onyinye mkpụrụ ọka, na achịcha mbadamba a na-ejighị ihe na-eko achịcha mee. Ọrụ ha bụkwa ịgwakọta ihe e ji eme achịcha, na ighe ya, na ilekọta ihe ọtụtụ niile e ji atụ ihe.
30 And the Levites are to stand in the morning to give thanks, and to sing praises to the Lord: and in like manner in the evening,
Ụtụtụ ọbụla, na anyasị ọbụla, ọ bụ ọrụ ha iguzo nʼihu Onyenwe anyị ịbụ abụ otuto, na ekele.
31 As well in the oblation of the holocausts of the Lord, as in the sabbaths and in the new moons, and the rest of the solemnities, according to the number and ceremonies prescribed for every thing, continually before the Lord.
Ha na-enyekwa aka nʼihe gbasara aja nsure ọkụ a na-achụ nʼụbọchị izuike, na nʼoge mmemme ọnwa ọhụrụ, na mmemme ndị ọzọ niile a kara aka. Mgbe niile ka ha ga-eje ozi ha nʼihu Onyenwe anyị dịka usoro ha na ọnụọgụgụ ha si dị.
32 And let them keep the observances of the tabernacle of the covenant, and the ceremonies of the sanctuary, and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren, that they may minister in the house of the Lord.
Ya mere, e tinyere ọrụ ilekọta ụlọ nzute Onyenwe anyị, na ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ nʼaka ha. Ha ka ọ dịkwara inyere ndị ikwu ha, bụ ndị nchụaja ahụ, ụmụ Erọn, aka nʼọrụ ha niile nʼụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ.
