1 Chronicles 23
1 So when David was old and full of days, he made Solomon his son king over Israel.
Dhavhidhi paakanga akwegura ava namakore mazhinji, akaita kuti mwanakomana wake Soromoni ave mambo pamusoro peIsraeri.
2 And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.
Akaunganidzawo vatungamiri vose veIsraeri pamwe chete navaprista navaRevhi.
3 Now the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty years and upward: and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty and eight thousand.
VaRevhi vose vana makore makumi matatu zvichienda mberi vakaverengwa, uye varume vose vakasvika zviuru makumi matatu nezvisere.
4 Of which, twenty and four thousand [were] to set forward the work of the house of the LORD; and six thousand [were] officers and judges:
Dhavhidhi akati, “Pane ava, zviuru makumi maviri nezvina vachava vatariri vebasa rokuvakwa kwetemberi yaJehovha uye zviuru zvitanhatu vachava vakuru navatongi.
5 Moreover four thousand [were] porters; and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I made, [said David], to praise [therewith].
Zviuru zvina vachava vachengeti vamasuo uye zviuru zvina vacharumbidza Jehovha nezviridzwa zvandakapa nokuda kwechikonzero ichi.”
6 And David divided them into courses among the sons of Levi, [namely], Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
Dhavhidhi akapatsanura vaRevhi akavaisa mumapoka zvichienderana navanakomana vaRevhi vaiti: Gerishoni, Kohati naMerari.
7 Of the Gershonites [were], Laadan, and Shimei.
VokwaGerishoni vaiva: Radhani naShimei.
8 The sons of Laadan; the chief [was] Jehiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three.
Vanakomana vaRadhani vaiva: Jehieri dangwe, Zetami naJoere, vatatu pamwe chete.
9 The sons of Shimei; Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These [were] the chief of the fathers of Laadan.
Vanakomana vaShimei vaiva: Sheromoti, Hazieri naHarani, vatatu pamwe chete. Ava ndivo vaiva vakuru vemhuri dzaRadhani.
10 And the sons of Shimei [were], Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah. These four [were] the sons of Shimei.
Uye vanakomana vaShimei vaiva: Jahati, Ziza, Jeushi naBheria. Ava ndivo vaiva vanakomana vaShimei, vana pamwe chete.
11 And Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second: but Jeush and Beriah had not many sons; therefore they were in one reckoning, according to [their] father’s house.
(Jahati aiva wokutanga, Ziza ari wechipiri, asi Jeushi naBheria vakanga vasina vanakomana vakawanda; saka vakaverengwa semhuri imwe chete ine basa rimwe chete.)
12 The sons of Kohath; Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.
Vanakomana vaKohati vaiva: Amiramu, Izhari, Hebhuroni naUzieri, vana pamwe chete.
13 The sons of Amram; Aaron and Moses: and Aaron was separated, that he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons for ever, to burn incense before the LORD, to minister unto him, and to bless in his name for ever.
Vanakomana vaAmiramu vaiva: Aroni naMozisi. Aroni akatsaurwa iye nezvizvarwa zvake nokusingaperi, kuti anatse zvinhu zvaiva zvitsvene-tsvene, kuti vape zvipiriso pamberi paJehovha, kushumira pamberi pake uye kutaura maropafadzo muzita rake nokusingaperi.
14 Now [concerning] Moses the man of God, his sons were named of the tribe of Levi.
Vanakomana vaMozisi munhu waMwari vakaverengwa sechikamu chorudzi rwaRevhi.
15 The sons of Moses [were], Gershom, and Eliezer.
Vanakomana vaMozisi vaiva: Gerishomi naEriezeri.
16 Of the sons of Gershom, Shebuel [was] the chief.
Zvizvarwa zvaGerishomi: Shubhaeri ndiye aiva wokutanga.
17 And the sons of Eliezer [were], Rehabiah the chief. And Eliezer had none other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.
Zvizvarwa zvaEriezeri zvaiva: Rehabhia ndiye aiva wokutanga. (Eriezeri haana kuzoita vamwe vanakomana, asi Rehabhia akaita vanakomana vakawanda kwazvo.)
18 Of the sons of Izhar; Shelomith the chief.
Vanakomana vaIzhari: Sheromiti ndiye aiva wokutanga.
19 Of the sons of Hebron; Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
Vanakomana vaHebhuroni: Jeria ndiye wokutanga, Amaria wechipiri, Jahazieri wechitatu naJekameami wechina.
20 Of the sons of Uzziel; Michah the first, and Jesiah the second.
Vanakomana vaUzieri: Mika wokutanga naIshia wechipiri.
21 The sons of Merari; Mahli, and Mushi. The sons of Mahli; Eleazar, and Kish.
Vanakomana vaMerari, vaiva: Mari naMushi. Vanakomana vaMari vaiva: Ereazari naKishi.
22 And Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters: and their brethren the sons of Kish took them.
(Ereazari akafa asina vanakomana: aingova navanasikana chete. Hama dzavo, vanakomana vaKishi vakavaroora.)
23 The sons of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three.
Vanakomana vaMushi vaiva: Mari, Edheri, naJerimoti, vatatu pamwe chete.
24 These [were] the sons of Levi after the house of their fathers; [even] the chief of the fathers, as they were counted by number of names by their polls, that did the work for the service of the house of the LORD, from the age of twenty years and upward.
Ava ndivo vaiva zvizvarwa zvaRevhi nemhuri dzavo, vakuru vemhuri sezvazvakanga vakanyorwa pasi pamazita avo uye vachiverengwa mumwe nomumwe, zvichireva vashandi vaiva namakore makumi maviri naanopfuura vaishanda mutemberi yaJehovha.
25 For David said, The LORD God of Israel hath given rest unto his people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem for ever:
Nokuti Dhavhidhi akanga ati, “Sezvo Jehovha, Mwari waIsraeri apa zororo kuvanhu vake uye akauya kuzogara muJerusarema nokusingaperi,
26 And also unto the Levites; they shall no [more] carry the tabernacle, nor any vessels of it for the service thereof.
vaRevhi havachafaniri kuramba vachitakura tabhenakeri kana mimwe midziyo yose yaishandiswa pabasa rayo.”
27 For by the last words of David the Levites [were] numbered from twenty years old and above:
Maererano nokurayira kwaDhavhidhi kwokupedzisira, vaRevhi vakaverengwa kubva pana vana makore makumi maviri kana anopfuura ipapo.
28 Because their office [was] to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of the LORD, in the courts, and in the chambers, and in the purifying of all holy things, and the work of the service of the house of God;
Basa ravaRevhi raiva rokubatsira zvizvarwa zvaAroni, mukubata basa romutemberi yaJehovha: kuvatariri voruvanze, makamuri omumativi, kunatsa zvinhu zvose zvaiera, nokuita mamwe mabasa paimba yaMwari.
29 Both for the shewbread, and for the fine flour for meat offering, and for the unleavened cakes, and for [that which is baked in] the pan, and for that which is fried, and for all manner of measure and size;
Vaiva vachengeti vechingwa chaiiswa patafura, upfu hwakatsetseka hwezvipiriso zvezviyo, zvingwa zvitete zvisina mbiriso, kubika nokusanganisa, uye zviero zvose zvouwandu noukuru.
30 And to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD, and likewise at even;
Vaifanirawo zvakare kumira mangwanani oga oga vachitenda uye vachirumbidza Jehovha. Vaifanira kuita zvimwe chetezvo manheru
31 And to offer all burnt sacrifices unto the LORD in the sabbaths, in the new moons, and on the set feasts, by number, according to the order commanded unto them, continually before the LORD:
uye napose paipiwa zvipiriso zvinopiswa kuna Jehovha pamaSabata uye napamitambo yoKugara kwoMwedzi napane mimwe mitambo yakarayirwa. Vaifanira kushanda pamberi paJehovha nguva dzose nouwandu hwaidiwa uye nenzira yavakanga varayirwa kuti vaiite.
32 And that they should keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the holy [place], and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren, in the service of the house of the LORD.
Nokudaro vaRevhi vakaita mabasa omuTende Rokusangana, romuNzvimbo Tsvene uye vari pasi pehama dzavo zvizvarwa zvaAroni, mubasa roushumiri mutemberi yaJehovha.
