1 Chronicles 26
1 This is a list of the groups of men who guarded the temple gates: From the descendants of Korah, there was Meshelemiah, the son of Kore, who was one of the sons of Asaph.
Divisiones autem janitorum: de Coritis Meselemia, filius Core, de filiis Asaph.
2 The oldest son of Meshelemiah was Zechariah. His other sons were Jediael, Zebadiah, Jathniel,
Filii Meselemiæ: Zacharias primogenitus, Jadihel secundus, Zabadias tertius, Jathanaël quartus,
3 Elam, Jehohanan, and Eliehoenai.
Ælam quintus, Johanan sextus, Elioënai septimus.
4 [Another guard] was Obed-Edom. His oldest son was Shemaiah. His other sons were Jehozabad, Joah, Sacar, Nethanel,
Filii autem Obededom: Semeias primogenitus, Jozabad secundus, Joaha tertius, Sachar quartus, Nathanaël quintus,
5 Ammiel, Issachar, and Peullethai. It was because God had blessed him that he had many sons.
Ammiel sextus, Issachar septimus, Phollathi octavus: quia benedixit illi Dominus.
6 Obed-Edom’s son Shemaiah also had sons. They were leaders in their father’s family because they were capable of doing many things well.
Semei autem filio ejus nati sunt filii, præfecti familiarum suarum: erant enim viri fortissimi.
7 The sons of Shemaiah were Othni, Rephael, Obed, and Elzabad. Shemaiah’s relatives Elihu and Semakiah were also capable men.
Filii ergo Semeiæ: Othni, et Raphaël, et Obed, Elzabad, fratres ejus viri fortissimi: Eliu quoque et Samachias.
8 All of those descendants of Obed-Edom and their sons and relatives were capable people and strong workers. Altogether there were 62 of them.
Omnes hi, de filiis Obededom: ipsi, et filii et fratres eorum, fortissimi ad ministrandum, sexaginta duo de Obededom.
9 Another guard was Meshelemiah. He and his sons and relatives were also capable people. There were 18 of them altogether.
Porro Meselemiæ filii, et fratres eorum robustissimi, decem et octo.
10 Another guard was Hosah’s son Shimri, a descendant of Merari. Hosah appointed Shimri to be the leader, even though he was not Hosah’s oldest son.
De Hosa autem, id est, de filiis Merari: Semri princeps (non enim habuerat primogenitum, et idcirco posuerat eum pater ejus in principem),
11 Hosah’s other sons were Hilkiah, Tabaliah, and Zechariah. Altogether there were 13 sons and relatives of Hosah.
Helcias secundus, Tabelias tertius, Zacharias quartus: omnes hi filii et fratres Hosa, tredecim.
12 Those men were leaders of the groups of men who guarded the gates of the temple. They worked at the temple like their relatives did.
Hi divisi sunt in janitores, ut semper principes custodiarum, sicut et fratres eorum ministrarent in domo Domini.
13 By casting lots, the leader of each family chose one gate for their group to guard. [All of them, including] young men and old men (OR, including leaders of large families and small families), cast lots.
Missæ sunt ergo sortes ex æquo, et parvis et magnis, per familias suas in unamquamque portarum.
14 Shelemiah’s group was selected to guard the East Gate. The group of Shelemiah’s son Zechariah, who was a wise counselor, was selected to guard the North Gate.
Cecidit ergo sors orientalis, Selemiæ. Porro Zachariæ filio ejus, viro prudentissimo et erudito, sortito obtigit plaga septentrionalis.
15 Then Obed-Edom’s group was selected to guard the South Gate, and his sons were selected to guard the [entrances to the temple] storerooms.
Obededom vero et filiis ejus ad austrum: in qua parte domus erat seniorum concilium.
16 Then Shuppim’s group and Hosah’s group were selected to guard the West Gate and the Shalleketh Gate on the upper road [to the temple]. The work for the guards was divided evenly.
Sephim et Hosa ad occidentem, juxta portam, quæ ducit ad viam ascensionis: custodia contra custodiam.
17 Each day there were six descendants of Levi who guarded the East Gate, four who guarded the North Gate, four who guarded the South Gate, and two at a time who guarded the entrances to the storerooms.
Ad orientem vero Levitæ sex: et ad aquilonem, quatuor per diem: atque ad meridiem similiter in die quatuor: et ubi erat concilium bini et bini.
18 At the West gate there were two men who guarded the courtyard and four who guarded the road outside the courtyard.
In cellulis quoque janitorum ad occidentem quatuor in via, binique per cellulas.
19 Those were the groups of men who were descendants of Korah and Merari who guarded the gates [of the temple].
Hæ sunt divisiones janitorum filiorum Core et Merari.
20 Other descendants of Levi were in charge of the chests that contained the money that was dedicated to Yahweh, money that the people brought to the temple.
Porro Achias erat super thesauros domus Dei, et vasa sanctorum.
21 [One of those men was] Ladan, a descendant of Gershon. He was the ancestor of several family groups. Jehiel was the leader of one of those family groups.
Filii Ledan, filii Gersonni: de Ledan principes familiarum Ledan, et Gersonni, Jehieli.
22 Others who had that work were Zetham and his [younger] brother Joel, who were the sons of Jehiel.
Filii Jehieli: Zathan, et Joël fratres ejus super thesauros domus Domini.
23 Others who did that work were descendants of Amram, Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel.
Amramitis, et Isaaritis, et Hebronitis, et Ozihelitis.
24 [From the descendants of Amram], Shubael, a descendant of Moses’s son Gershom, was the leader who was in charge of the money chests.
Subaël autem filius Gersom filii Moysi, præpositus thesauris.
25 [Others who did that work were] the descendants of [Gershom’s younger brother] Eliezer. Those men were Eliezer’s son Rehabiah, Rehabiah’s son Jeshaiah, Jeshaiah’s son Joram, Joram’s son Zicri, and Zicri’s son Shelomith.
Fratres quoque ejus Eliezer, cujus filius Rahabia, et hujus filius Isaias, et hujus filius Joram, hujus quoque filius Zechri, et hujus filius Selemith.
26 Shelomith and his relatives were in charge of all the valuable things that had been dedicated [to Yahweh] by King David, by the leaders of the family groups, by the army commanders of 1,000 soldiers and commanders of 100 soldiers, and by other army commanders.
Ipse Selemith, et fratres ejus, super thesauros sanctorum quæ sanctificavit David rex, et principes familiarum, et tribuni, et centuriones, et duces exercitus,
27 Some of the things that those army officers had taken [from Israel’s enemies] in battles they dedicated for the repair of the temple of Yahweh.
de bellis et manubiis præliorum, quæ consecraverant ad instaurationem et supellectilem templi Domini.
28 And Shelomith and his relatives were also in charge of everything that had been dedicated [to Yahweh] by the prophet Samuel, by King Saul, and by [David’s two army commanders] Ner and Joab.
Hæc autem universa sanctificavit Samuel videns, et Saul filius Cis, et Abner filius Ner, et Joab filius Sarviæ: omnes qui sanctificaverant ea per manum Selemith et fratrum ejus.
29 From the descendants of Izhar, Kenaniah and his sons were given work outside [the temple area]. They were officials and judges in [various places] in Israel.
Isaaritis vero præerat Chonenias, et filii ejus ad opera forinsecus super Israël ad docendum et judicandum eos.
30 From the descendants of Hebron, Hashabiah and his relatives were responsible for the work done for Yahweh and for the king in all the area west of the Jordan [river]. There were 1,700 of them who were able to do their work well.
Porro de Hebronitis Hasabias, et fratres ejus viri fortissimi, mille septingenti præerant Israëli trans Jordanem contra occidentem, in cunctis operibus Domini, et in ministerium regis.
31 It was written in the records of the descendants of Hebron that Jeriah was their leader. When David had been ruling for almost 40 years, they searched in those records, and they found [names of] capable men descended from Hebron who were at Jazer [city] in the Gilead [region].
Hebronitarum autem princeps fuit Jeria secundum familias et cognationes eorum. Quadragesimo anno regni David recensiti sunt, et inventi sunt viri fortissimi in Jazer Galaad,
32 Jeriah had 2,700 relatives who were able to do their work well, and who were leaders of their families. King David put them in charge of governing the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and [the eastern] half of the tribe of Manasseh, to be sure that all the people did what God and the king told them to do.
fratresque ejus robustioris ætatis, duo millia septingenti principes familiarum. Præposuit autem eos David rex Rubenitis, et Gadditis, et dimidiæ tribui Manasse, in omne ministerium Dei et regis.
