1 Chronicles 23
1 So when Dauid was olde and full of dayes, he made Salomon his sonne King ouer Israel.
Tango Davidi akomaki mobange makasi, akomisaki Salomo, mwana na ye ya mobali, mokonzi ya Isalaele.
2 And hee gathered together all the princes of Israel with the Priestes and the Leuites.
Asangisaki bakambi nyonso ya Isalaele elongo na Banganga-Nzambe mpe Balevi.
3 And the Leuites were numbred from ye age of thirtie yeere and aboue, and their nomber according to their summe was eight and thirtie thousand men.
Batangaki Balevi nyonso oyo bazalaki na mibu tuku misato mpe koleka: motango nyonso ya Balevi ezalaki nkoto tuku misato na mwambe.
4 Of these foure and twentie thousande were set to aduance the worke of the house of the Lord, and sixe thousand were ouerseers and iudges.
Davidi alobaki: « Tika ete Balevi nkoto tuku mibale na minei bazala bakambi ya misala ya Tempelo ya Yawe, Balevi nkoto motoba bazala bakomi mikanda mpe basambisi,
5 And foure thousand were porters, and foure thousande praised the Lord with instruments which he made to praise the Lord.
Balevi nkoto minei bazala bakengeli bikuke, mpe Balevi nkoto minei bakumisa Yawe na bibetelo mindule oyo nasalaki na tina na yango. »
6 So Dauid deuided offices vnto them, to wit, to the sonnes of Leui, to Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
Bongo Davidi akabolaki bango na masanga kolanda buku ya mabota ya bana mibali ya Levi: Gerishoni, Keati mpe Merari.
7 Of the Gershonites were Laadan and Shimei.
Mpo na libota ya Gerishoni: Laedani mpe Shimei.
8 The sonnes of Laadan, the chiefe was Iehiel, and Zetham and Ioel, three.
Laedani azalaki na bana mibali misato: mokonzi Yeyeli, Zetami mpe Joeli.
9 The Sonnes of Shimei, Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haram, three: these were the chiefe fathers of Laadan.
Shimei azalaki na bana mibali misato: Shelomiti, Azieli mpe Arani. Bango nde bazalaki bakambi ya mabota ya Laedani.
10 Also the sonnes of Shimei were Iahath, Zina, Ieush, and Beriah: these foure were ye sonnes of Shimei.
Shimei azalaki na bana mibali mosusu minei: Yaati, Ziza, Yewushi mpe Beria.
11 And Iahath was the chiefe, and Zizah the seconde, but Ieush and Beriah had not many sonnes: therfore they were in the families of their father, counted but as one.
Yaati azalaki mwana ya liboso, mpe Ziza, mwana ya mibale. Nzokande Yewushi mpe Beria bazalaki na bakitani ebele te. Boye batangaki bango lokola libota moko.
12 The sonnes of Kohath were Amram, Izhar, Hebron aud Vzziel, foure.
Keati azalaki na bana mibali minei: Amirami, Yitseari, Ebron mpe Uzieli.
13 The sonnes of Amram, Aaron and Moses: and Aaron was separated to sanctifie the most holy place, hee and his sonnes for euer to burne incense before the Lord, to minister to him, and to blesse in his Name for euer.
Amirami azalaki na bana mibali mibale: Aron mpe Moyize. Aron aponamaki mpo na libela, elongo na bana na ye ya mibali, mpo na kobulisa Esika-Oyo-Eleki-Bule, mpo na kotumba mbeka ya malasi liboso ya Yawe, mpo na kosalela Ye mpe kopambola bato mpo na libela na Kombo na Ye.
14 Moses also the man of God, and his children were named with the tribe of Leui.
Bana ya Moyize, moto na Nzambe, batangaki bango na ekolo ya Levi.
15 The sonnes of Moses were Gershom, and Eliezer,
Bana mibali ya Moyize: Gerishomi mpe Eliezeri.
16 Of the sonnes of Gershom was Shebuel the chiefe.
Bana mibali ya Gerishomi: Shebueli azalaki mwana mobali ya liboso.
17 And the sonne of Eliezer was Rehabiah the chiefe: for Eliezer had none other sonnes: but the sonnes of Rehabiah were very many.
Bana mibali ya Eliezeri: Reabia azalaki mwana na ye se moko. Eliezeri azalaki na bana mosusu te, kasi Reabia azalaki na bana ebele.
18 The sone of Izhar was Shelomith ye chiefe.
Bana mibali ya Yitseari: Shelomiti azalaki mwana ya liboso kati na bana mibali ya Yitseari.
19 The sonnes of Hebron were Ieriah the first, Amariah the second, Iahaziel the third, and Iekamiam the fourth.
Bana mibali ya Ebron: Yeriya, mwana ya liboso; Amaria, mwana ya mibale; Yaazieli, mwana ya misato mpe Yekameami, mwana ya minei.
20 The sones of Vzziel were Michah the first, and Isshiah the second.
Bana mibali ya Uzieli: Mishe, mwana ya liboso; mpe Yishiya, mwana ya mibale.
21 The sonnes of Merari were Mahli and Mushi. The sonnes of Mahli, Eleazar and Kish.
Bana mibali ya Merari: Maali mpe Mushi. Bana mibali ya Maali: Eleazari mpe Kishi.
22 And Eleazar dyed, and had no sonnes, but daughters, and their brethren the sonnes of Kish tooke them.
Eleazari akufaki mpe atikalaki kobota bana mibali te, azalaki kaka na bana basi oyo babalanaki na bandeko na bango, bana mibali ya tata leki na bango Kishi.
23 The sonnes of Mushi were Mahli, and Eder, and Ierimoth, three.
Bana mibali ya Mushi: Maali, Ederi mpe Yeremoti. Bango nyonso bazalaki misato.
24 These were the sonnes of Leui according to the house of their fathers, euen the chiefe fathers according to their offices, according to the nomber of names and their summe that did the worke for the seruice of the house of the Lord from the age of twentie yeeres and aboue.
Bango nde bazalaki bakitani ya Levi kolanda bituka na bango, mpe bakambi ya bituka na bango kolanda ndenge bakomamaki, moto na moto, na buku ya mabota. Bazwaki mokumba ya kosala misala kati na Tempelo ya Yawe, kobanda na oyo azalaki na mibu tuku mibale mpe koleka.
25 For Dauid sayde, The Lord God of Israel hath giuen rest vnto his people, that they may dwell in Ierusalem for euer.
Bongo Davidi alobaki: « Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, apesi bopemi na bato na Ye mpe avandi libela kati na Yelusalemi.
26 And also the Leuites shall no more beare the Tabernacle and al the vessels for the seruice thereof.
Boye Balevi bazala lisusu te na mokumba ya komema Mongombo mpe bisalelo na yango nyonso. »
27 Therefore according to the last wordes of Dauid, the Leuites were nombred from twentie yeere and aboue,
Ezalaki kolanda malako ya suka ya Davidi nde batangaki bakitani ya Levi kobanda na mibu tuku mibale mpe koleka.
28 And their office was vnder the hand of the sonnes of Aaron, for the seruice of the house of the Lord in the courtes, and chambers, and in the purifiyng of all holy thinges, and in the worke of the seruice of the house of God,
Mosala ya Balevi ezalaki mpo na kosunga bakitani ya Aron na mosala ya Tempelo ya Yawe: kolandela bopeto ya veranda mpe ya bashambre, kopetola biloko nyonso ya bule mpe kosala misala nyonso ya Tempelo.
29 Both for the shewbread, and for the fine floure, for the meate offring, and for the vnleauened cakes, and for the fryed things, and for that which was rosted, and for all measures and cise,
Bazalaki na mokumba ya kotanda mapa na mesa, kobongisa farine mpo na makabo ya bagato ezanga levire, bagalete mpe bagato batumba na kikalungu, mpe bagato basangisa na mafuta mpe biloko nyonso oyo bamekelaka kilo mpe molayi.
30 And for to stand euery morning, to giue thanks and praise to the Lord, and likewise at euen,
Bazalaki mpe na mokumba ya kotelema liboso ya Yawe, tongo mpe pokwa nyonso, mpo na kokumisa mpe kosanzola Ye;
31 And to offer all burnt offrings vnto the Lord, in the Sabbaths, in the moneths, and at the appointed times, according to the nomber and according to their custome continually before the Lord,
mpe kobonza tango nyonso bambeka ya kotumba oyo bazalaki komema epai na Yawe na mikolo ya Saba, na ebandeli ya sanza mpe na mikolo nyonso ya bafeti oyo ekatama, kolanda motango oyo bakatelaki bango mpo na libela liboso ya Yawe.
32 And that they should keepe the charge of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and the charge of ye holy place, and the charge of ye sonnes of Aaron their brethren in the seruice of ye house of the Lord.
Boye Balevi bazalaki kosala mosala na bango ya kokengela Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani mpe Esika ya bule, mpe ya kosunga bandeko na bango ya mibali, bana ya Aron, na mosala ya Tempelo ya Yawe.
