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.
Tala masanga ya bakengeli bikuke: Mpo na bato ya Kore: Meshelemia, mwana mobali ya Kore, moko kati na bana mibali ya Azafi.
2 The oldest son of Meshelemiah was Zechariah. His other sons were Jediael, Zebadiah, Jathniel,
Meshelemia azalaki na bana mibali oyo: mwana ya liboso, Zakari; mwana ya mibale, Yediayeli; mwana ya misato, Zebadia; mwana ya minei, Yatinieli;

5 Ammiel, Issachar, and Peullethai. It was because God had blessed him that he had many sons.
mwana ya motoba, Amieli; mwana ya sambo, Isakari; mwana ya mwambe, Pewulitayi; pamba te Nzambe apambolaki Obedi-Edomi.
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.
Mwana na ye ya mobali Shemaya azalaki mpe na bana mibali oyo bazalaki bakambi ya libota ya tata na bango, pamba te bazalaki bilombe mibali.
7 The sons of Shemaiah were Othni, Rephael, Obed, and Elzabad. Shemaiah’s relatives Elihu and Semakiah were also capable men.
Bana mibali ya Shemaya: Otini, Refaeli, Obedi, Elizabadi; mpe bandeko na ye ya mibali oyo bazalaki bilombe, Eliwu mpe Samakia.
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.
Bango nyonso bazalaki bakitani ya Obedi-Edomi. Bango, bana na bango mpe bandeko na bango ya mibali bazalaki bilombe mpe bato ya mpiko mpo na mosala. Bakitani nyonso ya Obedi-Edomi bazalaki tuku motoba na mibale.
9 Another guard was Meshelemiah. He and his sons and relatives were also capable people. There were 18 of them altogether.
Meshelemia azalaki na bana mibali mpe bandeko mibali oyo bazalaki bilombe: bango nyonso bazalaki zomi na mwambe.
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.
Osa, moko kati na bana mibali ya Merari, azalaki na bana mibali oyo: Shimiri oyo tata na ye atiaki ye mokonzi atako azalaki mwana ya liboso te;
11 Hosah’s other sons were Hilkiah, Tabaliah, and Zechariah. Altogether there were 13 sons and relatives of Hosah.
Ilikia, mwana ya mibale; Tebalia, mwana ya misato; mpe Zakari, mwana ya minei. Bana mibali mpe bandeko mibali ya Osa bazalaki bango nyonso zomi na misato.
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.
Masanga ya bakengeli bikuke ezalaki na mokumba ya kokengela bikuke ya Tempelo ya Yawe, na bokambami ya bakonzi na bango ndenge bandeko na bango bazalaki mpe kosala.
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.
Boye kobanda na leki kino na kulutu, bazalaki kobeta zeke mpo na ekuke moko na moko, kolanda mabota na bango.
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.
Mpo na ekuke ya ngambo ya este, zeke ekweyaki epai ya libota ya Shelemia. Bongo babetaki zeke mpo na mwana na ye ya mobali Zakari oyo azalaki mopesi toli ya bwanya, mpe zeke mpo na ekuke ya ngambo ya Nor ekweyaki likolo na ye.
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.
Mpo na ekuke ya ngambo ya sude, zeke ekweyaki epai ya Obedi-Edomi; mpe mpo na ndako oyo babombelaka biloko, zeke ekweyaki epai ya bana na ye ya mibali.
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.
Mpo na ekuke ya ngambo ya weste mpe ekuke ya Shaleketi, na nzela oyo emata na likolo, zeke ekweyaki epai ya Shupimi mpe Osa. Tala ndenge bakabolaki masanga ya bakengeli bikuke:
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.
mokolo na mokolo, ezalaki na Balevi motoba na ngambo ya este, Balevi minei na ngambo ya nor, mpe Balevi minei na ngambo ya sude; mpe masanga mibale oyo moko na moko ezalaki na bato mibale, na ndako oyo babombelaka biloko.
18 At the West gate there were two men who guarded the courtyard and four who guarded the road outside the courtyard.
Mpo na lopango ya weste, ezalaki na bakengeli minei na nzela; mpe mibale kati na lopango.
19 Those were the groups of men who were descendants of Korah and Merari who guarded the gates [of the temple].
Oyo nde ezalaki masanga ya bakengeli bikuke oyo baponamaki kati na libota ya Kore mpe ya 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.
Balevi mosusu lokola Ayiya, bazalaki na mokumba ya kobatela bozwi ya Tempelo mpe biloko ya bule.
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.
Tala bakitani ya Laedani, oyo bazalaki bato ya etuka ya Gerishoni mpe bakambi, moto na moto ya libota na ye: bato ya Yeyeli;
22 Others who had that work were Zetham and his [younger] brother Joel, who were the sons of Jehiel.
mpe bana mibali ya Yeyeli: Zetami mpe ndeko na ye ya mobali Joeli. Bazalaki na mokumba ya kobatela bozwi ya Tempelo ya Yawe.
23 Others who did that work were descendants of Amram, Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel.
Mpo na bakitani ya Amirami, ya Yitseari, ya Ebron mpe ya Uzieli:
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.
Shebueli, mokitani ya Gerishomi, mwana mobali ya Moyize, azalaki mokonzi ya babateli bozwi ya Tempelo.
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.
Tala bandeko na ye ya mibali oyo babotamaki na nzela ya Eliezeri: Reabia, Ezayi, Yorami, Zikiri mpe Shelomiti.
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.
Shelomiti elongo na bandeko na ye ya mibali bazalaki na mokumba ya kobatela biloko nyonso oyo mokonzi Davidi abulisaki mpo na Yawe; bakambi ya mabota, bakambi ya bankoto, bakambi ya bankama mpe bakonzi mosusu ya mampinga.
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.
Babulisaki biloko mosusu oyo bazwaki na bitumba mpo na kobongisa Tempelo ya Yawe.
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.
Shelomiti mpe bandeko na ye ya mibali bazalaki na mokumba ya kobatela biloko nyonso oyo Samuele, momoni makambo; Saulo, mwana mobali ya Kishi; Abineri, mwana mobali ya Neri; Joabi oyo kombo ya mama na ye ezalaki « Tseruya, » babulisaki mpo na Yawe.
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.
Mpo na bakitani ya Yitseari: Kenania mpe bana na ye ya mibali oyo bazalaki bakomi mikanda mpe basambisi. Bazalaki na mokumba ya kotala makambo ya boyokani ya Isalaele na bikolo mosusu.
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.
Mpo na bakitani ya Ebron: Ashabia mpe bandeko na ye ya mibali, bilombe mibali nkoto moko na nkama sambo. Bazalaki kokamba Isalaele na ngambo ya weste ya Yordani; mpe bazalaki na mokumba ya misala nyonso ya Yawe mpe ya mokonzi.
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].
Mpo na bakitani ya Ebron: Yeriya azalaki mokonzi na bango, kolanda milongo ya mabota na bango. Na mobu ya tuku minei ya bokonzi ya Davidi, batalaki malamu na buku ya mabota mpe bamonaki kati na engumba Yaezeri ya Galadi, bilombe mibali kati na bakitani ya Ebron.
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.
Yeriya azalaki na bandeko mibali nkoto mibale na nkama sambo: bazalaki bilombe mibali mpe bakambi ya mabota. Mokonzi Davidi apesaki bango mokumba ya misala nyonso ya Nzambe mpe ya mokonzi kati na libota ya Ribeni, ya Gadi mpe ya ndambo ya libota ya Manase.
