1 Chronicles 9
1 And, all Israel, registered themselves, and lo! they are written, in the Book of the Kings of Israel, and, Judah, was carried away captive to Babylon, for their faithlessness.
Wode Israelvi ɖe sia ɖe ƒe ƒome Israel fiawo ƒe agbalẽ me pɛpɛpɛ. Woɖe aboyo Yudatɔwo yi Babilonia le woƒe nuteƒemawɔmawɔ ta.
2 Now, the first inhabitants, who were in their possessions, in their cities, were Israel, the priests, the Levites, and the Nethinim.

17 And, the keepers of the gates, were Shallum, and Akkub, and Talmon, and Ahiman, —and their brethren—Shallum the chief;
Agbonudzɔlawoe nye: Salum, Akub, Talmon, Ahiman kple wo nɔviwo. Salum nye woƒe tatɔ.
18 and, hitherto, they were in the gate of the king, eastward, —the same, were the keepers of the gate, for the camps of the sons of Levi.
Wodae ɖe Fia ƒe Agbo nu le ɣedzeƒe va se ɖe egbe. Ame siawoe nye agbonudzɔlawo tso Levitɔwo dome.
19 And, Shallum, son of Kore, son of Ebiasaph, son of Korah and his brethren of his ancestral house—the Korahites, were over the business of the service, watchers at the vestibule of the tent, —and, their fathers, had been over the camp of Yahweh, watchers at the entrance.
Salum ƒe dzidzime to Kore kple Ebiasaf dzi va se ɖe Korah dzi. Eya kple nɔviawo, Korah ƒe viwoe kpɔa vɔsawo kple Kɔkɔeƒe la dzi abe ale si wo fofowo kpɔ agbadɔ la dzi eye wodzɔ eŋu ene.
20 And, Phinehas son of Eleazar, was, chief ruler, over them aforetime, Yahweh, being with him.
Finehas, Eleazar ƒe vi, nye woƒe amegã gbãtɔ le blema eye Yehowa nɔ kplii.
21 Zechariah son of Meshelemiah, was door-keeper at the entrance of the tent of meeting.
Le ɣe ma ɣi la, Zekaria, Meselemia ƒe vi dzɔ Mawu ƒe Agbadɔ la ƒe agbonu ŋu.
22 All those who were chosen for door-keepers in the vestibule, were two hundred and twelve, —the same, in their villages, had registered themselves, the same, did David and Samuel the seer establish in their trust.
Ame siwo katã wotia be woanye agbonudzɔlawo la ƒe xexlẽme le alafa eve wuieve. Wotia wo tso woƒe kɔƒewo me ɖe woƒe dzidzimegbalẽ nu. David kple nukpɔla Samuel woe de agbonudzɔdɔ asi na agbonudzɔlawo.
23 So, they and their sons, were over the gates of the house of Yahweh, of the house of the tent, by watches.
Woawo kple woƒe dzidzimeviwoe dzɔa Yehowa ƒe aƒe la ƒe agbonu, aƒe si woyɔna be Agbadɔ.
24 Towards the four winds, were the keepers of the gates, —eastward, westward, northward, and southward.
Woda agbonudzɔlawo ɖe akpa eneawo dzi: ɣedzeƒe, ɣetoɖoƒe, anyiehe kple dziehe.
25 And, their brethren in their villages, had to come in, every seven days, from time to time, along with these.
Enɔ na wo nɔviŋutsu siwo nɔ woƒe kɔƒewo me be woava tso ɣeyiɣi yi ɣeyiɣi akpe ɖe wo ŋuti le woƒe dɔwɔnawo me ŋkeke adre.
26 For, in trust, were four mighty men of the keepers of the gates, the same, were Levites, —and they were over the chambers, and over the treasuries of the house of God.
Wotsɔ Mawu ƒe aƒe la ƒe xɔwo kple nudzraɖoƒewo ƒe dzikpɔkpɔ de asi na agbonudzɔlagã eneawo, ame siwo nye Levitɔwo.
27 And, round about the house of God, used they to lodge, —for, upon them, was the charge, and they were over the setting open, morning by morning.
Zã sia zã la, woƒoa xlã Mawu ƒe aƒe la eye wodzɔa eŋu elabena woƒe dɔe nye be woadzɔ eŋu eye le esia ta safui la nɔa wo si be woaʋu agbo la ŋdi sia ŋdi.
28 And, some from among them, were over the utensils of the service, —for, by number, used they to bring them in, and, by number, used they to take them forth.
Wo dometɔ aɖewo ƒe dɔe nye woakpɔ agba vovovo siwo ŋu dɔ wowɔna le mawusubɔsubɔ me la dzi, woaxlẽ wo ne wotsɔ wo vɛ kple ne wotsɔ wo do goe.
29 And, some from among them, were appointed over the utensils, yea over all the vessels of the holy place, —and over the fine meal, and the wine, and the oil, and the frankincense, and the spices.
Ame bubuwo ƒe dɔe nye woakpɔ xɔmenuwo kple nu siwo le Kɔkɔeƒe la me kple wɔ memi kple wain, ami kple dzudzɔdonu kple atike ʋeʋĩwo dzi.
30 And, some from among the sons of the priests, were compounders of perfumes, with the spices.
Ke atikeʋeʋĩawo tɔtɔ nye nunɔla aɖewo ƒe dɔ.
31 And, Mattithiah, from among the Levites, —the same, was the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite—was in trust over the making of the flat cakes.
Levitɔ aɖe si ŋkɔe nye Matitia, Korahitɔ Salum ƒe viŋutsu ŋgɔgbeae nye ame si wotsɔ abolo si wotsɔna saa vɔe ƒe meme ƒe dɔ de asi na.
32 And, some from among the Kohathites, of their brethren, were over the Bread that was set in Array, —to place it sabbath by sabbath.
Kohatitɔ la ƒe viŋutsuawo dometɔ aɖewo ƒe dɔe nye be woame abolo si wodana ɖe kplɔ̃ dzi Dzudzɔgbe ɖe sia ɖe.
33 These, also were the singers, ancestral chiefs of the Levites, in the chambers, free, —for, by day and by night, was there [a charge] upon them, in the business.
Ame siwo nye hadzilawo kple Levitɔwo ƒe ƒometatɔwo la, nɔa gbedoxɔ la ƒe xɔwo me. Womegaɖoa dɔ bubu aɖeke na wo o elabena wowɔa dɔ le ŋkeke me kple zã me siaa.
34 These, were the ancestral chiefs, of the Levites, by their generations, chief men, —these, dwelt in Jerusalem.
Ame siawo katã nye Levi ƒomewo ƒe tatɔwo kple hlɔ̃memetsitsiwo abe ale si wòdze le woƒe dzidzimegbalẽ la me ene eye wonɔ Yerusalem.
35 And, in Gibeon, dwelt the father of Gibeon, Jeiel, —the name of whose wife, was Maacah:

36 and, his firstborn son, Abdon, —and Zur, and Kish, and Baal and Ner, and Nadab;

38 And, Mikloth, begat Shimeam—and, they also, over against their brethren, did dwell in Jerusalem, along with their brethren.

39 And, Ner, begat Kith, and, Kish, begat Saul, —and, Saul, begat Jonathan, and Malchishua, and Abinadab, and Eshbaal;

40 and, the son of Jonathan, was Merib-baal, —and, Merib-baal, begat Micah;

44 and, Azel, had six sons, and these are their names—Azrikam, [his firstborn], and Ishmael, and Sheariah and Obadiah, and Hanan, [and Asah]. These, were the sons of Azel.
Ŋutsuvi ade nɔ Azel si; woawoe nye: Azrikam, Bokeru, Ismael, Searia, Obadia kple Hanan.
