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.

از طایفهٔ قورح افرادی که برای نگهبانی دروازه‌های معبد تعیین شدند، اینها بودند: مشلمیا پسر قوری از خاندان آساف، و هفت پسر او که به ترتیب سن عبارت بودند از: زکریا، یدیعی‌ئیل، زبدیا، یتنی‌ئیل، عیلام، یهوحانان و الیهوعینای.

2 The oldest son of Meshelemiah was Zechariah. His other sons were Jediael, Zebadiah, Jathniel,

3 Elam, Jehohanan, and Eliehoenai.

4 [Another guard] was Obed-Edom. His oldest son was Shemaiah. His other sons were Jehozabad, Joah, Sacar, Nethanel,

هشت پسر عوبید ادوم که به ترتیب سن عبارت بودند از: شمعیا، یهوزاباد، یوآخ، ساکار، نتن‌ئیل، عمی‌ئیل، یساکار و فعلتای. این هشت پسر نشانهٔ برکت خدا به عوبید ادوم بودند.

5 Ammiel, Issachar, and Peullethai. It was because God had blessed him that he had many sons.

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.

پسران شمعیا همه مردانی توانا و در میان طایفهٔ خود معروف بودند. اسامی ایشان، عتنی، رفائیل، عوبید و الزاباد بود. برادران او الیهو و سمکیا هم مردانی توانا بودند.

7 The sons of Shemaiah were Othni, Rephael, Obed, and Elzabad. Shemaiah’s relatives Elihu and Semakiah were also capable men.

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.

همهٔ افراد خاندان عوبید ادوم مردانی توانا و واجد شرایط برای این کار بودند.

9 Another guard was Meshelemiah. He and his sons and relatives were also capable people. There were 18 of them altogether.

هجده پسر و برادر مشلمیا هم مردانی قابل بشمار می‌آمدند.

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.

از طایفهٔ مراری نیز حوسه با پسرانش به نگهبانی خانۀ خدا تعیین شدند. پسران حوسه عبارت بودند از: شمری (هر چند او پسر ارشد نبود اما پدرش او را رهبر سایر پسران خود کرد)،

11 Hosah’s other sons were Hilkiah, Tabaliah, and Zechariah. Altogether there were 13 sons and relatives of Hosah.

حلقیا، طبلیا و زکریا. خاندان حوسه جمعاً سیزده نفر بودند.

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.

نگهبانان خانهٔ خداوند برحسب خاندان خود به گروه‌ها تقسیم شدند تا مثل سایر لاویان در خانهٔ خداوند خدمت کنند.

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.

تمام خاندانها، بدون توجه به بزرگی یا کوچکی‌شان، قرعه کشیدند تا مشخص شود هر یک از آنها کدام یک از دروازه‌ها را باید نگهبانی کنند.

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.

نگهبانی دروازهٔ شرقی به اسم مشلمیا، نگهبانی دروازهٔ شمالی به نام پسرش زکریا که مشاور دانایی بود،

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.

و نگهبانی دروازهٔ جنوبی به اسم عوبید ادوم درآمد. پسران عوبید ادوم از انبارها مواظبت می‌کردند.

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.

نگهبانی دروازهٔ غربی و دروازه شلکت (که به جادهٔ سربالایی باز می‌شد)، به نام شفیم و حوسه درآمد. وظیفهٔ نگهبانی به نوبت تعیین می‌شد.

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.

هر روز شش نفر در دروازهٔ شرقی، چهار نفر در دروازهٔ شمالی، چهار نفر در دروازهٔ جنوبی، و چهار نفر در انبارها (دو نفر در هر انبار) نگهبانی می‌دادند.

18 At the West gate there were two men who guarded the courtyard and four who guarded the road outside the courtyard.

هر روز برای نگهبانی دروازهٔ غربی شش نفر تعیین می‌شدند، یعنی چهار نفر برای جاده و دو نفر برای خود دروازه.

19 Those were the groups of men who were descendants of Korah and Merari who guarded the gates [of the temple].

نگهبانان خانهٔ خدا از طایفه‌های قورح و مراری انتخاب شدند.

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.

بقیهٔ لاویان به رهبری اخیا مسئول نگهداری خزانهٔ خانهٔ خدا و انبار هدایای وقفی بودند.

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.

زیتام و یوئیل، پسران یحی‌ئیل نیز که از رهبران خاندان لادان و از طایفۀ جرشون بودند از مسئولین خزانهٔ خانۀ خداوند بشمار می‌آمدند.

22 Others who had that work were Zetham and his [younger] brother Joel, who were the sons of Jehiel.

23 Others who did that work were descendants of Amram, Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel.

از طایفهٔ عمرام، یصهار، حبرون و عزی‌ئیل نیز مسئولینی تعیین شدند.

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.

شبوئیل، از طایفهٔ جرشوم پسر موسی، ناظر خزانه بود.

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.

یکی از خویشاوندان او شلومیت بود. (شلومیت پسر زکری، زکری پسر یورام، یورام پسر اشعیا، اشعیا پسر رحبیا، رحبیا پسر العازار و العازار برادر جرشوم بود.)

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.

شلومیت و برادرانش تعیین شدند تا از خزانه مراقبت نمایند. در این خزانه هدایایی نگهداری می‌شد که داوود پادشاه و سایر رهبران یعنی رؤسای طوایف و خاندانها و نیز فرماندهان سپاه وقف کرده بودند.

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.

این اشخاص قسمتی از آنچه را در جنگ به غنیمت می‌گرفتند وقف می‌کردند تا صرف هزینه‌های خانهٔ خداوند شود.

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.

شلومیت و برادرانش در ضمن مسئول نگهداری هدایایی بودند که به‌وسیلۀ سموئیل نبی، شائول پسر قیس، ابنیر پسر نیر، یوآب پسر صرویه، و دیگران وقف شده بود.

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.

کننیا و پسرانش که از طایفهٔ یصهار بودند، وظایفی در خارج از خانۀ خدا به عهده داشتند. آنها از مسئولین و مقامات قضایی بودند.

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.

از طایفهٔ حبرون حشبیا و هزار و هفتصد نفر از خویشاوندانش که همه افرادی کاردان بودند، تعیین شدند تا در آن قسمت از خاک اسرائیل که در غرب رود اردن بود مسئول امور مذهبی و مملکتی باشند.

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].

یریا سرپرست تمام طایفهٔ حبرون بود. در سال چهلم سلطنت داوود پادشاه، در نسب نامه‌های طایفۀ حبرون بررسی به عمل آمد و معلوم شد افراد کاردان این طایفه در یعزیز جلعاد می‌باشند.

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.

پس داوود پادشاه دو هزار و هفتصد نفر از خویشاوندان یریا را که افرادی کاردان و از رؤسای خاندان بودند، انتخاب نمود تا مسئول امور مذهبی و مملکتی ناحیهٔ شرق رود اردن که قبایل رئوبین، جاد و نصف قبیله منسی در آنجا بودند، باشند.
