1 Chronicles 23
1 And David was old and satisfied with days, and he causes his son Solomon to reign over Israel,
Mgbe Devid ghọrọ nnọọ agadi, ụbọchị ndụ ya jukwara ya afọ, o mere Solomọn nwa ya, eze Izrel.
2 and gathers all the heads 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 are numbered from a son of thirty years and upward, and their number, for their counted heads, is of thirty-eight thousand mighty 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 these, twenty-four thousand [are] to preside over the work of the house of YHWH, and six thousand officers 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 gatekeepers, and four thousand giving praise to YHWH, “with instruments that I made for praising,” [says David.]
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 distributes them into divisions of the sons of Levi—of Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
Devid kewara ndị Livayị nʼoke, nʼoke dịka ụmụ ndị ikom Livayị si dị: Geshọn, Kohat na Merari.
7 Of the Gershonite: Laadan and Shimei.
E kekwara ikwu Geshọn ụzọ abụọ dịka ụmụ ya si dị, Ladan na Shimei.
8 Sons of Laadan: the head [is] Jehiel, and Zetham, and Joel—three.
Ndị sitere nʼezinaụlọ Ladan dị ndị ikom atọ: Jehiel, onyeisi ha, Zetam na Juel.
9 Sons of Shimei: Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran—three; these [are] heads of the fathers of Laadan.

Ụmụ Shimei bụ, Jahat, Ziza, Jeush na Beriya. Ha dị ndị ikom anọ.
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.
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 Sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel—four.
Ụmụ ndị ikom Kohat bụ Amram, Izha, Hebrọn na Uziel. Ha dị ndị ikom anọ.
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.
Ụmụ ndị ikom Amram bụ, Erọn na Mosis. Erọn ka e kewapụrụ iche, ido ya nsọ ya na ụmụ ya ruo ebighị ebi, maka ido ihe niile kachasị nsọ nsọ, ịchụ aja nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, ije ozi nʼihu ya nakwa ikwupụta ngọzị nʼaha ya ruo ebighị ebi.
14 As for Moses, the man of God, his sons are called after the tribe of Levi.
Ụmụ Mosis, onye nke Chineke ka a gụnyekọtara dịka ndị si nʼebo Livayị.
15 Sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.

22 And Eleazar dies, and he had no sons, but daughters, and their brothers, sons of Kish, take them.

23 Sons of Mushi: Mahli, and Eder, and Jerimoth—three.
Ụmụ ndị ikom Mushi bụ Mahali, Eda na Jeremot. Ha dị ndị ikom atọ.
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,
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, “YHWH, God of Israel, has given rest to His people, and He dwells in Jerusalem for all time”;
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 also of the Levites, “None [are] to carry the Dwelling Place and all its vessels 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 they [took] the number of the sons of Levi from a son of twenty years 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 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,
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 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;
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, morning by morning, to give thanks, and to give praise to YHWH, and so at evening;
Ụtụtụ ọbụla, na anyasị ọbụla, ọ bụ ọrụ ha iguzo nʼihu Onyenwe anyị ịbụ abụ otuto, na ekele.
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.
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 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.
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.
