1 Chronicles 9
1 The [names of all the] people of Israel were listed/written with the names of their clans, and that information was written in the scroll/book named ‘The Record of the Kings of Israel’. [Many of] the people of Judah were captured and forced to go to Babylon. That happened because they did not faithfully [do what was pleasing to] God.
Aa le sindre vinolily amo fiantoño’eo t’ Israele; oniño te hene sinokitse amo bokem-panjaka’ Israeleo vaho nasese mb’e Bavele mb’eo t’Iehodà ty amo hatsivokara’eo.
2 The first people who returned [to Judah 70 years later] and lived in their own land and in their own cities and towns were some Israeli priests, other descendants of Levi, and men who worked in the temple.
Ie amy zao, o mpimoneñe valoha’e am-panaña’e ao, an-drova’e e Israele ao: le o mpisoroñeo, o nte-Levio vaho o mpitoro’ i anjombaio.

17 From the [descendants of Levi who returned to Judah] who guarded the temple gates there were Shallum, Akkub, Talmon, Ahiman, and some of their relatives. Shallum was their leader.
Le o mpigarin-dalam-beio: i Salome naho i Akobe naho i Talmone vaho i Akimane vaho o rahalahi’ iareoo, i Salome, talè.
18 Those gatekeepers from the tribe of Levi stood at the King’s Gate on the east side [of the temple].
Taolo iereo le nijohañe an-dalam-bei’ i mpanjakay, maniñanañe, nimpañamben-dalañe am-pirimboña’ o ana’ i Levio.
19 Shallum was the son of Kore. Kore was the son of Ebiasaph. Ebiasaph was the son of Korah. Shallum and his relatives were gatekeepers, and they were responsible to guard the gates of the Sacred Tent of Yahweh, like their ancestors had done.
Naho i Salome ana’ i Kore, ana’ i Ebiasafe, ana’ i Korà naho o rahalahi’e añ’ anjomban-droae’eo, o nte-Korao ty nifehe i fitoroñañey, nañambeñe o lalambein-kivohoo; o rae’eo ty nifehe ty tobe’ Iehovà, nimpigaritse i fiziliha’ey;
20 Previously Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, had supervised the gatekeepers, and Yahweh (was with/helped) Phinehas.
nifeleke iareo taolo t’i Pinekase, ana’ i Elatsare; le nimbae’ Iehovà.
21 Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was the gatekeeper at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
I Zekarià, ana’ i Meselemià ty nañambeñe i lalan-kibohom-pamantañañey.
22 Altogether, there were 212 men who were chosen to guard the gates. Their names were written in the records of the clans in their villages. [King] David and the prophet Samuel appointed/chose those men because those men (were dependable/always did what they were told to do).
I jinoboñe ho mpañamben-dalam-bey rey, le roanjato-tsi-folo-ro’ amby. Songa amo tanà’eo ty amo fiantoño’eo, o tinendri’ i Davide naho i Samoele mpitoky ty amy figahiña’ iareoo.
23 The work of those gatekeepers and their descendants was to guard the entrances of the Sacred Tent of Yahweh. That was before the temple was built to replace the Sacred Tent.
Aa le ie naho o ana’eo ro nisary o lalam-bein’ anjomba’ Iehovào naho ty anjomba’ i kibohotsey am-pifandimbezañe.
24 There were gatekeepers on each of the four sides of the Sacred Tent.
Le o mpañamben-dalambeio, mb’an-tiok’ efatse mb’eo: atiñana, ahandrefa, avaratse vaho atimo.
25 Sometimes it was necessary for the relatives of the gatekeepers who lived in those villages to come and help them. Each time some of them came, they helped the gatekeepers for seven days.
Ie nivotrake eo erike boak’ an-tanà’ iareo o longo’ iareoo hañolotse fito andro.
26 There were four descendants of Levi who [worked every day, and they] supervised the gatekeepers. They also took care of the rooms and treasures in the Sacred Tent of God.
Amy te nigahiñe i nte-Levý efatse mpiaolom-pigarin-dalambey rey, nifehe o trañoo naho o fanontoñan-drala añ’ anjomban’ Añahareo.
27 They remained awake all during the night to guard the Sacred Tent, and each morning they opened the gates.
Ie nialeñe am-piarisehoañe i anjomban’ Añaharey fa nanan-dily, naho nisokafe’ iareo boak’ andro.
28 Some of the gatekeepers took care of the articles that were used in worship. They also took care of the flour, wine, olive oil, incense, and spices [that were used in the sacrifices].
Nanan-dily amo fàna-pitoroñañeo ty ila’e, nañakatse ami’ty ia’e naho namoake ami’ty ia’e.
29 Other gatekeepers were appointed to take care of the other things in the Sacred Tent.
Ty ila’e ka nanan-dily hamandroñe o fànake naho harao’ i toetse masiñeio naho i monay naho i divaiy naho i menakey naho i ramey vaho o raha mañitseo.
30 But some of the priests had the work of mixing the spices.
Ty ila’ o anam-pisoroñeo ty nampilaro o raha mañitseo.
31 There was a descendant of Levi named Mattithiah, the oldest son of Shallum, who was a descendant of Korah. He (was very dependable/always did what he was told to do), so they gave him {he was given} the work of baking the bread that was used in the offerings [on the altar].
I Matitià, nte-Levy, tañoloñoloña’ i Salome nte-Kora, ty nanandily amo fañendazañeo.
32 Some of the gatekeepers who were descended from Kohath prepared the freshly baked loaves of sacred bread that were placed on the table [inside the Sacred Tent] every Sabbath/rest day.
Ty ila’ o longo’ iareoo, o anan-nte-Kohao ty nifeleke i mofo-piatrekey, ty hañalankañe aze boa-tSabata.
33 Some of the descendants of Levi were musicians who worked in the Sacred Tent. The leaders of those families [stayed/slept] in the rooms [of the Sacred Tent]. They did not do [any other work] in the Sacred Tent because they were responsible to serve [as musicians] day and night.
Teo ka o mpisaboo; talèn’ anjomba’ o nte-Levio, nimoneñe añ’ efets’ efe’ i anjombay vaho nivotsotse amo fitoloñañe ila’eo amy t’ie nifanehake handro an-kale.
34 Those are [the names of] the leaders of the clans descended from Levi. Their names were written in the records of the clans. They all lived in Jerusalem.
