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.
Akka itti eegdonni karraa qoodaman: Gosa qoree keessaa: Ilmaan Asaaf keessaa Mesheleemiyaa ilma Qooraahi.
2 The oldest son of Meshelemiah was Zechariah. His other sons were Jediael, Zebadiah, Jathniel,
Mesheleemiyaa ilmaan qaba ture; isaanis: Inni hangafti Zakkaariyaas, lammaffaan Yediiʼeel, sadaffaan Zabaadiyaa, Afuraffaan Yatniiʼeel,
3 Elam, Jehohanan, and Eliehoenai.
inni shanaffaan Eelaam, jaʼaffaan Yehohaanaan, torbaffaan Eliihooʼeenayi.
4 [Another guard] was Obed-Edom. His oldest son was Shemaiah. His other sons were Jehozabad, Joah, Sacar, Nethanel,
Oobeed Edoomis akkasuma ilmaan qaba ture; isaanis: Inni hangafti Shemaaʼiyaa, lammaffaan Yehoozaabaad, sadaffaan Yooʼaa, afuraffaan Saakaar, shanaffaan Naatnaaʼel,
5 Ammiel, Issachar, and Peullethai. It was because God had blessed him that he had many sons.
jaʼaffaan Amiiʼeel, torbaffaan Yisaakor, saddeettaffaan Pheʼuletii; Waaqni Oobeed Edoomin eebbiseeraatii.
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.
Shemaaʼiyaan ilmi isaas ilmaan qaba ture; isaanis waan dandeettii guddaa qabaniif qajeelchitoota maatii abbaa isaanii turan.
7 The sons of Shemaiah were Othni, Rephael, Obed, and Elzabad. Shemaiah’s relatives Elihu and Semakiah were also capable men.
Ilmaan Shemaaʼiyaa: Otnii, Raafaaʼeel, Oobeedii fi Elzaabaad; firoonni isaa Eliihuu fi Samaakiyaanis dandeettii guddaa qabu ture.
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.
Isaan kunneen hundi ilmaan Oobeed Edoom; isaan, ilmaan isaaniitii fi firoonni isaanii namoota jajjaboo dandeettii hojii qaban turan; ilmaan Oobeed Edoom; walumatti nama 62 turan.
9 Another guard was Meshelemiah. He and his sons and relatives were also capable people. There were 18 of them altogether.
Mesheleemiyaa fi firoota dandeettii guddaa qaban qaba ture; isaanis walumatti nama 18 turan.
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.
Hoosaan inni gosa Meraarii sun ilmaan qaba ture; isaanis: Shimriin dura buʼaa ture; inni hangafa taʼuu baatu iyyuu abbaan isaa dura buʼaa isa godhee ture;
11 Hosah’s other sons were Hilkiah, Tabaliah, and Zechariah. Altogether there were 13 sons and relatives of Hosah.
inni lammaffaan Hilqiyaa, inni sadaffaan Xibaliyaa, inni afuraffaan Zakkaariyaas. Ilmaanii fi firoonni Hoosaa walumatti nama 13 turan.
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.
Garee eegdota karraa kana keessaa hangafoota isaaniitiif hojiin akkuma firoonni isaanii hojjetan sanaa mana Waaqayyoo keessa tajaajiluu ni kennameef.
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.
Tokkoo tokkoo balbalaatiifis akkuma maatii maatii isaaniitti xinnaa guddaaf ixaan buʼe.
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.
Ixaan Karra Baʼa Biiftuu Shelemiyaaf baʼe. Ergasii immoo Zakkaariyaas ilma isaa gorsituu ogeessa sanaaf ixaan buʼe; ixaan balbala kaabaa isaaf baʼe.
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.
Ixaan Karra gama kibbaa Oobeed Edoomiif, kan mankuusaa immoo ilmaan isaatiif baʼe.
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.
Ixaan Karra Lixa biiftuutii fi Karra Shaleekeet kan daandii olii irratti argamu Shufiimii fi Hoosaaf baʼe. Eegumsa tokko fuulleedhaan eegumsa biraatu ture:
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.
Karaa baʼa biiftuutiin guyyaa guyyaatti Lewwota jaʼa, karaa kaabaatiin guyyaa guyyaatti afur, karaa kibbaatiin guyyaa guyyaatti afur karaa mankuusaa immoo yeroo tokkotti lamatu ture.
18 At the West gate there were two men who guarded the courtyard and four who guarded the road outside the courtyard.
Oobdii gama lixa biiftuutiin jiruuf daandii irra afur, waltajjicha gubbaa immoo lamatu ture.
19 Those were the groups of men who were descendants of Korah and Merari who guarded the gates [of the temple].
Isaan kunneen garee eegdota karraa kanneen ilmaan Qooraahiitii fi Meraarii keessaa dhufanii dha.
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.
Lewwota keessaa Ahiiyaan itti gaafatamaa qabeenya mana Waaqaatii fi itti gaafatamaa miʼoota qulqulleeffamanii ture.
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.
Sanyiiwwan Laʼadaan kanneen karaa Laʼadaaniitiin Geershoonota taʼan warri hangafoota maatii Laʼadaan namicha gosa Geershoon sanaa turan: Yehiiʼeelii,
22 Others who had that work were Zetham and his [younger] brother Joel, who were the sons of Jehiel.
ilmaan Yehiiʼeelii, Zeetaamii fi obboleessa isaa Yooʼeel. Isaan kunis itti gaafatamtoota qabeenya mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo turan.
23 Others who did that work were descendants of Amram, Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel.
Amraamota keessaa, Yizihaarota keessaa, Kebroonota keessaa, Uziiʼeel keessaa:
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.
Shebuuʼeel ilmi Geershoom ilma Musee sanaa itti gaafatamaa qabeenyaa hangafa ture.
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.
Namoonni karaa Eliiʼezeriitiin firoota isaa taʼan immoo: ilma isaa Rehaabiyaa, ilma isaa Isaayyaas, ilma isaa Yooraam, ilma isaa Zikrii fi ilma isaa Sheloomiit.
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.
Sheloomiitii fi firoonni isaa mankuusaa miʼoota Daawit mootichi, hangafoonni maatiiwwanii kanneen ajajjuuwwan kumaatii fi ajajjuuwwan dhibbaa turan, akkasumas ajajjoonni loltootaa biraa Waaqaaf addaan baasan irratti itti gaafatamtoota turan.
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.
Isaan boojuu waraanaan argame keessaa gara tokko haaromsuu mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootiif addaan baasanii kennan.
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.
Waan Saamuʼeel namichi mulʼata argu sun, Saaʼol ilmi Qiish, Abneer ilmi Neerii fi Yooʼaab ilmi Zeruuyaa dhiʼeessanii fi waan Waaqaaf addaan baafame hunda Sheloomiitii fi firoota isaatu eega ture.
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.
Yizihaarota keessaa: Kenaaniyaa fi ilmaan isaa hojii mana qulqullummaatiin ala taʼetti Israaʼeloota irratti qondaaltotaa fi abbootii murtii taʼanii ramadaman.
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.
Kebroonota keessaa: Hashabiyaa fi firoonni isaa kanneen dandeettii qaban kuma tokkoo fi dhibba torba biyya Israaʼel kan Yordaanosiin gama lixa biiftuu jirutti hojii Waaqayyoo hundaa fi tajaajila mootichaa irratti itti gaafatamtoota turan.
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].
Kebroonota keessaa akkuma galmee hiddaa dhaloota maatii isaaniitti Yeriyaan hangafa isaanii ture. Bara mootummaa Daawit keessa waggaa afurtamaffaatti galmeewwan ilaalamanii gosa Kebroon keessaa namoonni dandeettii qaban Yaʼizeer biyya Giliʼaadi keessaa sanatti argaman.
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.
Yiriiyaan firoota dandeettii qaban kanneen hangafoota maatii turan kuma lamaa fi dhibba torba qaba ture; Daawit mootichis waan kan Waaqaa taʼeef dhimma mootichaa hunda irratti gosa Ruubeen gosa Gaadii fi walakkaa gosa Minaasee toʼattoota godhe.
