1 Chronicles 23
1 And David was old and satisfied with days, and he causes his son Solomon to reign over Israel,
Kane Daudi koro oseti kendo hike ne ngʼeny, ne oketo wuode Solomon obedo ruodh Israel.
2 and gathers all the heads of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites;
Bende ne ochoko jodongo duto mag jo-Israel kaachiel gi jodolo kod jo-Lawi.
3 and the Levites are numbered from a son of thirty years and upward, and their number, for their counted heads, is of thirty-eight thousand mighty men.
Jo-Lawi machwo ma jo-higni piero adek kata moloyo kanyo nokwan, ne gin ji alufu piero adek gaboro.
4 Of these, twenty-four thousand [are] to preside over the work of the house of YHWH, and six thousand officers and judges,
Daudi nowacho niya, “Ji alufu piero ariyo gangʼwen kuomgi noket jorit tich e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye, to ji alufu auchiel kuomgi to noket jotelo kod jongʼad bura.
5 and four thousand gatekeepers, and four thousand giving praise to YHWH, “with instruments that I made for praising,” [says David.]
Ji alufu angʼwen, to noket jorit rangeye, kendo ji alufu angʼwen mamoko, to noket jopak Jehova Nyasaye gi thumbe ma asechiwo nikech tijni.”
6 And David distributes them into divisions of the sons of Levi—of Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
Daudi nopogo jo-Lawi e migepe kaluwore gi yawuot Lawi ma gin Gershon, Kohath kod Merari.
7 Of the Gershonite: Laadan and Shimei.
Koa kuom joka Gershon, ne gin: Ladan kod Shimei.
8 Sons of Laadan: the head [is] Jehiel, and Zetham, and Joel—three.
Yawuot Ladan ne gin: Jehiel wuode makayo, kiluwe gi Zetham kod Joel, giduto ne gin ji adek.
9 Sons of Shimei: Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran—three; these [are] heads of the fathers of Laadan.
Yawuot Shimei ne gin: Shelomoth, Haziel kod Haran, giduto ne gin ji adek. Magi ema ne jotend anywola mar Ladan.
10 And sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah; these [are] the four sons of Shimei.
To yawuot Shimei ne gin: Jahath, Ziza, Jeush kod Beria. Magi ema ne yawuot Shimei, giduto ne gin ji angʼwen.
11 And Jahath is the head, and Zizah the second, and Jeush and Beriah have not multiplied sons, and they become the house of a father by one numbering.
Jahath ema ne kayo, Ziza ne luwe, to Jeush kod Beria nokwan kaka dhoot achiel moriwgi e tich achiel nikech yawuotgi ne nok.
12 Sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel—four.
Yawuot Kohath ne gin: Amram, Izhar, Hebron kod Uziel, giduto ne gin ji angʼwen.
13 Sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses; and Aaron is separated for his sanctifying the Holy of Holies, he and his sons, for all time, to make incense before YHWH, to serve Him, and to bless in His Name for all time.
Yawuot Amram ne gin: Harun kod Musa. Harun gi nyikwaye to nowal nyaka chiengʼ mondo opwodh gik maler moloyo, kendo ochiw misango e nyim Jehova Nyasaye kendo mondo gitine kendo gigwedh ji e nyinge nyaka chiengʼ.
14 As for Moses, the man of God, his sons are called after the tribe of Levi.
Yawuot Musa, ngʼat Nyasaye, to nokwan kaka achiel kuom dhood jo-Lawi.
15 Sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.
Yawuot Musa ne gin: Gershom kod Eliezer.
16 Sons of Gershom: Shebuel the head.
Nyikwa Gershom ne gin: Shubael mane wuowi makayo.
17 And sons of Eliezer are Rehabiah the head, and Eliezer had no other sons, and the sons of Rehabiah have multiplied exceedingly.
Nyikwa Eliezer ne gin: Rehabia mane wuowi makayo. Eliezer ne onge gi yawuowi mamoko, to yawuot Rehabia ne ngʼeny moloyo.
18 Sons of Izhar: Shelomith the head.
Yawuot Izhar ne gin: Shelomith mane wuowi makayo.
19 Sons of Hebron: Jeriah the head, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
Yawuot Hebron ne gin: Jeria mane wuowi makayo, Amaria mar ariyo, Jahaziel mar adek gi Jekameam mar angʼwen.
20 Sons of Uzziel: Micah the head, and Ishshiah the second.
Yawuot Uziel ne gin: Mika mane wuowi makayo kod Ishia wuowi mar ariyo.
21 Sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi; sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.
Yawuot Merari ne gin: Mali kod Mushi. Yawuot Mali ne gin: Eliazar kod Kish.
22 And Eleazar dies, and he had no sons, but daughters, and their brothers, sons of Kish, take them.
Eliazar notho kapok onywolo yawuowi, ne en mana gi nyiri kende. Owetegi ma yawuot Kish nokendogi.
23 Sons of Mushi: Mahli, and Eder, and Jerimoth—three.
Yawuot Mushi ne gin: Mali, Eder kod Jerimoth, giduto ne gin ji adek.
24 These [are] sons of Levi, by the house of their fathers, heads of the fathers, by their appointments, in the number of names, by their counted heads, doing the work for the service of the house of YHWH, from a son of twenty years and upward,
Magi ema ne nyikwa Lawi kochan-gi kaluwore gi anywolagi mane gin jotelo mag anywola mana kaka nondik nying-gi kendo kokwan-gi ngʼato ka ngʼato, mane gin jotich mahikgi piero ariyo kata moloyo kanyo mane tiyo e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye.
25 for David said, “YHWH, God of Israel, has given rest to His people, and He dwells in Jerusalem for all time”;
Nimar Daudi nosewacho niya, “Nikech Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach Israel osemiyo joge yweyo kendo osebiro mondo odag Jerusalem nyaka chiengʼ,
26 and also of the Levites, “None [are] to carry the Dwelling Place and all its vessels for its service”;
onge tiende mondo jo-Lawi osik katingʼo Hemb Romo kata gige lemo mitiyogo e iye.”
27 for by the last words of David they [took] the number of the sons of Levi from a son of twenty years and upward,
Kaluwore gi chike mogik mar Daudi, jo-Lawi nokwan kochakore jo-higni piero ariyo kata moloyo kanyo.
28 for their station [is] at the side of the sons of Aaron, for the service of the house of YHWH, over the courts, and over the chambers, and over the cleansing of every holy thing, and the work of the service of the house of God,
Tij jo-Lawi ne en konyo nyikwa Harun tiyo e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye. Negirito laru, agulni mag od Nyasaye, luoko gik moko duto mopwodhi to gi timo tije mamoko e od Nyasaye.
29 and for the bread of the arrangement, and for fine flour for present, and for the thin unleavened cakes, and for [the work of] the pan, and for that which is stirred, and for all [liquid] measure and [solid] measure;
Gin ema ne gitedo makati mane iketo e mesa, mogo mar chiwo mar cham, makati ma ok oketie thowi, losogi kendo pimogi, bende rito gik moko duto mane ipimogo ngʼeny kod pek gik moko.
30 and to stand, morning by morning, to give thanks, and to give praise to YHWH, and so at evening;
Bende negichungʼ pile ka pile mondo gidwok erokamano kendo gipak Jehova Nyasaye. Nonego gitim kamano godhiambo bende,
31 and for all the burnt-offerings—burnt-offerings to YHWH for Sabbaths, for new moons, and for appointed times, by number, according to the ordinance on them continually, before YHWH.
kendo e kinde ka kinde manochiw misengini miwangʼo pep ne Jehova Nyasaye e odiechienge mag Sabato, kendo e Sawo mar Dwe manyien kendo e kinde mag sewni moyier. Nonego giti e nyim Jehova Nyasaye kinde ka kinde kaluwore gi kwan-gi kod yo mowinjore mane ochan-negi.
32 And they have kept the charge of the Tent of Meeting, and the charge of the holy place, and the charge of their brothers, the sons of Aaron, for the service of the house of YHWH.
Kendo jo-Lawi notiyo tijegi mag Hemb Romo gi Kama Ler kotelnegi gi jowetegi ma gin nyikwa Harun mondo giti e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye.
