1 Chronicles 9
1 So all Israel were reckoned by genealogies; and, behold, they were written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah, who were carried away to Babylon for their transgression.
Waisraeli wote waliorodheshwa katika koo zilizoandikwa kwenye kitabu cha wafalme wa Israeli. Watu wa Yuda walichukuliwa mateka kwenda Babeli kwa sababu ya kukosa uaminifu kwa Mungu.
2 Now the first inhabitants that dwelt in their possessions in their cities were, the Israelites, the priests, Levites, and the Nethinims.
Basi watu wa kwanza kurudi kukaa kwenye milki zao katika miji yao walikuwa baadhi ya Waisraeli, makuhani, Walawi na watumishi wa Hekalu.
3 And in Jerusalem dwelt of the children of Judah, and of the children of Benjamin, and of the children of Ephraim, and Manasseh;

9 And their brethren, according to their generations, nine hundred and fifty and six. All these men were chief of the fathers in the house of their fathers.
Watu kutoka Benyamini kama walivyoorodheshwa katika koo zao jumla yao ni 956. Watu hawa wote walikuwa viongozi wa jamaa zao.
10 And of the priests; Jedaiah, and Jehoiarib, and Jachin,

11 And Azariah the son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, the ruler of the house of God;

13 And their brethren, heads of the house of their fathers, a thousand and seven hundred and threescore; very able men for the work of the service of the house of God.
Makuhani waliokuwa viongozi wa jamaa zao walikuwa 1,760. Walikuwa watu wenye uwezo, waliowajibika kuhudumu katika nyumba ya Mungu.
14 And of the Levites; Shemaiah the son of Hasshub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, of the sons of Merari;
Jamaa za Walawi walikuwa: Shemaya, mwana wa Hashubu, mwana wa Azrikamu, mwana wa Hashabia, wa wana wa Merari.
15 And Bakbakkar, Heresh, and Galal, and Mattaniah the son of Micah, the son of Zichri, the son of Asaph;
Bakbakari, Hereshi, Galali na Matania mwana wa Mika, mwana wa Zikri, mwana wa Asafu.
16 And Obadiah the son of Shemaiah, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun, and Berechiah the son of Asa, the son of Elkanah, that dwelt in the villages of the Netophathites.
Obadia mwana wa Shemaya, mwana wa Galali, mwana wa Yeduthuni. Berekia mwana wa Asa, mwana wa Elikana, ambao waliishi katika vijiji vya Wanetofathi.
17 And the porters were, Shallum, and Akkub, and Talmon, and Ahiman, and their brethren: Shallum was the chief;
Mabawabu katika Hekalu la Bwana waliorudi walikuwa: Shalumu, Akubu, Talmoni, Ahimani na ndugu zao. Shalumu alikuwa mlinzi wao mkuu.
18 Who hitherto waited in the king’s gate eastward: they were porters in the companies of the children of Levi.
Walikuwa wamewekwa katika lango la mfalme lililokuwa upande wa mashariki, mpaka wakati huu. Hawa walikuwa mabawabu wa kutoka kwenye kambi ya Walawi.
19 And Shallum the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his brethren, of the house of his father, the Korahites, were over the work of the service, keepers of the gates of the tabernacle: and their fathers, being over the camp of Yhwh, were keepers of the entry.
Shalumu mwana wa Kore, mwana wa Ebiasafu, mwana wa Kora, pamoja na mabawabu wenzake kutoka jamaa yake ya Kora waliwajibika kulinda malango ya Hema, kama vile baba zao walivyokuwa wamewajibika kulinda ingilio la Maskani ya Bwana.
20 And Phinehas the son of Eleazar was the ruler over them in time past, and Yhwh was with him.
Hapo zamani Finehasi mwana wa Eleazari alikuwa kiongozi wa mabawabu, naye Bwana alikuwa pamoja naye:
21 And Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was porter of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
Zekaria mwana wa Meshelemia alikuwa bawabu katika ingilio la Hema la Kukutania.
22 All these which were chosen to be porters in the gates were two hundred and twelve. These were reckoned by their genealogy in their villages, whom David and Samuel the seer did ordain in their set office.
Jumla ya waliochaguliwa kuwa mabawabu katika sakafu za kupuria nafaka walikuwa watu 212. Waliandikishwa kwa koo zao kwenye vijiji vyao. Mabawabu hawa waliwekwa katika nafasi zao za kuaminiwa na Daudi pamoja na mwonaji Samweli.
23 So they and their children had the oversight of the gates of the house of Yhwh, namely, the house of the tabernacle, by wards.
Wao na wazao wao walikuwa viongozi wa kulinda malango ya nyumba ya Bwana, nyumba iliyoitwa Hema.
24 In four quarters were the porters, toward the east, west, north, and south.
Mabawabu walikuwa pande zote nne: mashariki, magharibi, kaskazini na kusini.
25 And their brethren, which were in their villages, were to come after seven days from time to time with them.
Ndugu zao katika vijiji vyao walikuwa wakija mara kwa mara na kuwasaidia katika kazi zao kwa vipindi mbalimbali vya siku saba.
26 For these Levites, the four chief porters, were in their set office, and were over the chambers and treasuries of the house of God.
Lakini mabawabu wanne wakuu, waliokuwa Walawi, walikabidhiwa wajibu kwa ajili ya vyumba na hazina katika nyumba ya Mungu.
27 And they lodged round about the house of God, because the charge was upon them, and the opening thereof every morning pertained to them.
Walikesha mahali walipowekwa kuizunguka nyumba ya Mungu, kwa sababu iliwapasa kuilinda. Pia walitunza funguo kwa ajili ya kufungua mlango kila siku asubuhi.
28 And certain of them had the charge of the ministering vessels, that they should bring them in and out by tale.
Baadhi yao walikuwa viongozi wa kutunza vifaa vilivyotumika katika huduma ndani ya Hekalu; walivihesabu kila vilipoingizwa ndani na kila vilipotolewa.
29 Some of them also were appointed to oversee the vessels, and all the instruments of the sanctuary, and the fine flour, and the wine, and the oil, and the frankincense, and the spices.
Wengine walipangiwa kutunza mapambo na vifaa vingine vya patakatifu, pamoja na unga, divai, mafuta, uvumba na vikolezo.
30 And some of the sons of the priests made the ointment of the spices.
Lakini baadhi ya makuhani walifanya kazi ya kuchanganya vikolezo.
31 And Mattithiah, one of the Levites, who was the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite, had the set office over the things that were made in the pans.
Mlawi aliyeitwa Matithia, mwana mzaliwa wa kwanza wa Shalumu, wa ukoo wa Kora, alikabidhiwa wajibu kwa ajili ya kuoka mikate ya sadaka.
32 And other of their brethren, of the sons of the Kohathites, were over the shewbread, to prepare it every sabbath.
Baadhi ya ndugu zao wa ukoo wa Kohathi walikuwa viongozi wa kuandaa mikate ya Wonyesho kwa ajili ya kila Sabato, mikate iliyokuwa inawekwa mezani.
33 And these are the singers, chief of the fathers of the Levites, who remaining in the chambers were free: for they were employed in that work day and night.
Wale waliokuwa waimbaji, viongozi wa jamaa za Walawi, waliishi katika vyumba vya Hekalu, nao hawakufanya shughuli nyingine yoyote kwa sababu iliwapasa kuwajibika kwa kazi hiyo usiku na mchana.
34 These chief fathers of the Levites were chief throughout their generations; these dwelt at Jerusalem.
Hawa wote walikuwa viongozi wa jamaa za Walawi, wakuu kama walivyoorodheshwa katika koo zao, nao waliishi Yerusalemu.
35 And in Gibeon dwelt the father of Gibeon, Jehiel, whose wife’s name was Maachah:
Yeieli alikuwa baba yake Gibeoni naye aliishi huko Gibeoni. Mke wake aliitwa Maaka,
36 And his firstborn son Abdon, then Zur, and Kish, and Baal, and Ner, and Nadab,
mwanawe mzaliwa wa kwanza alikuwa Abdoni, akafuatiwa na Suri, Kishi, Baali, Neri, Nadabu,
37 And Gedor, and Ahio, and Zechariah, and Mikloth.
Gedori, Ahio, Zekaria na Miklothi.
38 And Mikloth begat Shimeam. And they also dwelt with their brethren at Jerusalem, over against their brethren.
Miklothi akamzaa Shimeamu. Wao pia waliishi karibu na jamaa zao huko Yerusalemu.
39 And Ner begat Kish; and Kish begat Saul; and Saul begat Jonathan, and Malchi–shua, and Abinadab, and Esh–baal.

40 And the son of Jonathan was Merib–baal: and Merib–baal begat Micah.
Yonathani akamzaa Merib-Baali, naye Merib-Baali akamzaa Mika.
41 And the sons of Micah were, Pithon, and Melech, and Tahrea, and Ahaz.
Wana wa Mika walikuwa: Pithoni, Meleki, Tarea, na Ahazi.
42 And Ahaz begat Jarah; and Jarah begat Alemeth, and Azmaveth, and Zimri; and Zimri begat Moza;
Ahazi akamzaa Yara, Yara akawazaa Alemethi, Azmawethi na Zimri, naye Zimri akamzaa Mosa.
43 And Moza begat Binea; and Rephaiah his son, Eleasah his son, Azel his son.
Mosa akamzaa Binea, Binea akamzaa Refaya, na mwanawe huyo ni Eleasa, na mwanawe huyo ni Aseli.
44 And Azel had six sons, whose names are these, Azrikam, Bocheru, and Ishmael, and Sheariah, and Obadiah, and Hanan: these were the sons of Azel.
Aseli alikuwa na wana sita, na haya ndiyo majina yao: Azrikamu, Bokeru, Ishmaeli, Shearia, Obadia na Hanani. Hawa ndio waliokuwa wana wa Aseli.
