1 Chronicles 23
1 So when Dauid was olde and full of dayes, he made Salomon his sonne King ouer Israel.
Awo Dawudi bwe yawangaala ennyo n’akaddiwa emyaka mingi n’afuula Sulemaani mutabani we okuba kabaka wa Isirayiri.
2 And hee gathered together all the princes of Israel with the Priestes and the Leuites.
Era yakuŋŋaanya abakulembeze ba Isirayiri bonna, wamu ne bakabona n’Abaleevi.
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.
Abaleevi abaali baweza emyaka amakumi asatu n’okusingawo baabalibwa, n’omuwendo gw’abasajja bonna gwali emitwalo esatu mu kanaana.
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.
Awo Dawudi n’agamba nti, “Ku abo emitwalo ebiri mu enkumi nnya be banaalabiriranga omulimu ogwa yeekaalu ya Mukama, ate kakaaga banaabanga bakungu n’abalamuzi.
5 And foure thousand were porters, and foure thousande praised the Lord with instruments which he made to praise the Lord.
Enkumi nnya banaabanga baggazi, ate enkumi ennya abasigaddewo be banatenderezanga Mukama n’ebivuga bye nateekateeka ku lw’okutendereza.”
6 So Dauid deuided offices vnto them, to wit, to the sonnes of Leui, to Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
Awo Dawudi n’agabanyamu Abaleevi mu bibinja ng’abaana ba Leevi bwe baali: Gerusoni, ne Kokasi ne Merali.
7 Of the Gershonites were Laadan and Shimei.
Abaana ba Gerusoni baali Ladani ne Simeeyi.

Yakasi ye yali omukulu, ne Ziza ye yali owookubiri, naye Yewusi be Beriya tebaalina baana noolwekyo baabalibwa ng’ekika kimu era nga bakola omulimu gwe gumu.
12 The sonnes of Kohath were Amram, Izhar, Hebron aud Vzziel, foure.

Batabani ba Amulaamu baali Alooni ne Musa. Alooni yayawulibwa, ye n’abazzukulu be emirembe gyonna, atukuzenga ebintu ebitukuvu ennyo, okuwangayo ssaddaaka eri Mukama, n’okumuweerezanga, era n’okusabanga omukisa mu linnya lye emirembe gyonna.
14 Moses also the man of God, and his children were named with the tribe of Leui.
Batabani ba Musa omusajja wa Katonda babalibwa nga ba mu kika kya Leevi.
15 The sonnes of Moses were Gershom, and Eliezer,
Batabani ba Musa baali Gerusomu ne Eryeza.
16 Of the sonnes of Gershom was Shebuel the chiefe.
Mu bazzukulu ba Gerusomu, Sebweri ye yali omukulu.
17 And the sonne of Eliezer was Rehabiah the chiefe: for Eliezer had none other sonnes: but the sonnes of Rehabiah were very many.
Mu bazzukulu ba Eryeza, Lekabiya ye yali omukulu. Eryeza teyalina baana balala, naye batabani ba Lekabiya baali bangi ddala.

23 The sonnes of Mushi were Mahli, and Eder, and Ierimoth, three.
Batabani ba Musi baali Makuli, Ederi ne Yeremosi be basatu.
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.
Abo be baali abazzukulu ba Leevi mu bika byabwe, ng’emitwe gy’ennyumba bwe gyali giwandiikibbwa mu mannya gaabwe, era nga bwe baabalibwa buli kinoomu, be bakozi abaalina emyaka amakumi abiri n’okusingawo abaaweerezanga mu yeekaalu ya Mukama.
25 For Dauid sayde, The Lord God of Israel hath giuen rest vnto his people, that they may dwell in Ierusalem for euer.
Dawudi yali agambye nti, “Olw’okuba Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri, awadde abantu be emirembe, era abeera mu Yerusaalemi emirembe gyonna,
26 And also the Leuites shall no more beare the Tabernacle and al the vessels for the seruice thereof.
Abaleevi tekikyabagwaniranga kusitula eweema oba ebintu ebikozesebwa mu kuweereza.”
27 Therefore according to the last wordes of Dauid, the Leuites were nombred from twentie yeere and aboue,
Nga bagoberera ebigambo bya Dawudi ebyasembayo, Abaleevi abaabalibwa baali ba myaka amakumi abiri n’okusingawo.
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,
Omulimu gwabwe gwali gwa kuyambanga bazzukulu ba Alooni mu buweereza obwa yeekaalu ya Mukama, nga bavunaanyizibwa mu mpya ne mu bisenge, ne mu kutukuzanga ebintu byonna ebitukuvu, n’okukola emirimu emirala mu nnyumba ya Katonda.
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,
Baavunaanyizibwanga emigaati egy’okulaga ku mmeeza, n’obutta obulungi obw’ekiweebwayo eky’obutta, n’obugaati obutazimbulukusibbwa, n’okufumba, n’okutabula, olw’ebiweebwayo, n’ebigero byonna mu bungi bwabyo ne mu bunene bwabyo.
30 And for to stand euery morning, to giue thanks and praise to the Lord, and likewise at euen,
Be baayimiriranga okwebazanga n’okutenderezanga Mukama buli nkya na buli akawungeezi,
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,
ne mu kuwaayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa, ebyaweebwangayo ku ssabbiiti, n’emyezi nga kye gijje giboneke, ne ku mbaga ezaateekebwawo. Kyabagwaniranga okuweerezanga mu maaso ga Mukama obutayosa, mu mpalo zaabwe, nga bwe balagibwa.
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.
Awo Abaleevi ne bakolanga emirimu gyabwe mu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, ne mu Kifo Ekitukuvu, nga bayamba baganda baabwe bazzukulu ba Alooni, okuweerezanga okw’omu yeekaalu ya Mukama.
