Chronicles I 23
1 And David was old and full of days; and he made Solomon his son king over Israel in his stead.
Mgbe Devid ghọrọ nnọọ agadi, ụbọchị ndụ ya jukwara ya afọ, o mere Solomọn nwa ya, eze Izrel.
2 And he assembled all the chief men of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites.
Nʼoge a, ọ kpọkọtara ndị ndu Izrel niile, tinyekwara ndị nchụaja na ndị Livayị.
3 And the Levites numbered [themselves] from thirty years old and upward; and their number by their polls amounted to thirty and 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 the overseers over the works of the house of the Lord [there were] twenty-four thousand, and [there were] six thousand scribes 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 and four thousand doorkeepers, and four thousand to praise the Lord with instruments which he made to praise the Lord.
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 divided them [into] daily courses, for the sons of Levi, for Gedson, Caath, and Merari.
Devid kewara ndị Livayị nʼoke, nʼoke dịka ụmụ ndị ikom Livayị si dị: Geshọn, Kohat na Merari.
7 And for [the family of] Gedson, Edan, and Semei.
E kekwara ikwu Geshọn ụzọ abụọ dịka ụmụ ya si dị, Ladan na Shimei.
8 The sons of Edan [were] Jeiel, the chief, 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, Jeiel, and Dan, three: these [were] the chiefs of the families of Edan.

Ụmụ Shimei bụ, Jahat, Ziza, Jeush na Beriya. Ha dị ndị ikom anọ.
11 And Jeth was the chief, and Ziza the second: and Joas and Beria did not multiply sons, and they became [only] one reckoning according to the house of their father.
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; Ambram, Isaar, Chebron, Oziel, four.
Ụmụ ndị ikom Kohat bụ Amram, Izha, Hebrọn na Uziel. Ha dị ndị ikom anọ.
13 The sons of Ambram; Aaron and Moses: and Aaron was appointed for the consecration of the most holy things, he and his sons for ever, to burn incense before the Lord, to minister and bless in his name for ever.

14 And [as for] Moses the man of God, his sons were reckoned to the tribe of Levi.
Ụmụ Mosis, onye nke Chineke ka a gụnyekọtara dịka ndị si nʼebo Livayị.
15 The sons of Moses; Gersam, and Eliezer.

23 The sons of Musi; Mooli, and Eder, and Jarimoth, three.
Ụmụ ndị ikom Mushi bụ Mahali, Eda na Jeremot. Ha dị ndị ikom atọ.
24 These [are] the sons of Levi according to the houses of their fathers; chiefs of their families according to their numbering, according to the number of their names, according to their polls, doing the works of service 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 God of Israel has given rest to his people, and has taken up his abode 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 the Levites bore not the tabernacle, and all the vessels of it for its service.
Ugbu a, ọ dịkwaghị mkpa ọ dị na ndị Livayị ga na-ebugharị ụlọ ikwu, maọbụ ngwongwo ọbụla nke ije ozi niile ya.”
27 For by the last words of David was the number of the Levites [taken] 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 For he appointed them to wait on Aaron, to minister in the house of the Lord, over the courts, and over the chambers, and over the purification of all the holy things, and over the works of the service of the house of God;
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 for the show-bread, and for the fine flour of the meat-offering, and for the unleavened cakes, and for the fried cake, and for the dough, and for every 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 to stand in the morning to praise and give thanks to the Lord, and so in the evening;
Ụtụtụ ọbụla, na anyasị ọbụla, ọ bụ ọrụ ha iguzo nʼihu Onyenwe anyị ịbụ abụ otuto, na ekele.
31 and [to be] over all the whole burnt offerings that were offered up to the Lord on the sabbaths, and at the new moons, and at the feasts, by number, according to the order [given] to them, 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 they are to keep the charge of the tabernacle of witness, and the charge of the holy place, and the charges of the sons of Aaron their brethren, to 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.
