1 And David is old, and satisfied with days, and causeth his son Solomon to reign over Israel,
Na rĩrĩ, rĩrĩa Daudi aakũrire na agĩkorwo arĩ na mĩaka mĩingĩ-rĩ, agĩtua mũriũ Solomoni mũthamaki wa gũthamakĩra Isiraeli.
2 and gathereth all the heads of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites;
Ningĩ agĩcookanĩrĩria atongoria othe a Isiraeli hamwe na athĩnjĩri-Ngai na Alawii.
3 and the Levites are numbered from a son of thirty years and upward, and their number, by their polls, is of mighty men thirty and eight thousand.
Alawii arĩa maakinyĩtie mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtatũ kana makĩria magĩtarwo, nao arũme othe maarĩ 38,000.
4 Of these to preside over the work of the house of Jehovah [are] twenty and four thousand, and officers and judges six thousand,
Daudi akiuga atĩrĩ, “Thĩinĩ wa aya, 24,000 nĩ marũgamagĩrĩre wĩra wa hekarũ ya Jehova, nao 6,000 matuĩke anene na atuithania a ciira.
5 and four thousand gatekeepers, and four thousand giving praise to Jehovah, 'with instruments that I made for praising,' [saith David.]
Nao andũ 4,000 matuĩke arangĩri a ihingo, nao acio angĩ 4,000 matuĩke a kũgoocaga Jehova marĩ na inanda cia ũini iria heanĩte nĩ ũndũ wa wĩra ũcio kĩũmbe.”

24 These [are] sons of Levi, by the house of their fathers, heads of the fathers, by their appointments, in the number of names, by their polls, doing the work for the service of the house of Jehovah, from a son of twenty years and upward,
Acio nĩo maarĩ njiaro cia Lawi kũringana na nyũmba ciao: na nĩo maarĩ atongoria a nyũmba ciao ta ũrĩa marĩĩtwa mao maandĩkĩtwo, na maatarirwo mũndũ o mũndũ, ũguo nĩ kuuga aruti a wĩra arĩa maarĩ na ũkũrũ wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na makĩria, arĩa maatungataga hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova.
25 for David said, 'Jehovah, God of Israel, hath given rest to His people, and He doth tabernacle in Jerusalem unto the age;'
Nĩgũkorwo Daudi nĩoigĩte atĩrĩ, “Kuona atĩ Jehova Ngai wa Isiraeli nĩaheete andũ ake ũhurũko, na nĩokĩte gũtũũra Jerusalemu nginya tene-rĩ,
26 and also of the Levites, 'None [are] to bear the tabernacle and all its vessels for its service;'
Alawii matigũcooka kũbatario nĩgũkuuaga hema ĩrĩa nyamũre kana kĩndũ o nakĩ kĩa iria ihũthagĩrwo cia gũtungata thĩinĩ wayo.”
27 for by the last words of David they [took] the number of the sons of Levi from a son of twenty years and upward,
Kũringana na ciugo cia Daudi cia mũthia, Alawii arĩa maarĩ na ũkũrũ wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ kana makĩria nĩmatarirwo.
28 for their station [is] at the side of the sons of Aaron, for the service of the house of Jehovah, over the courts, and over the chambers, and over the cleansing of every holy thing, and the work of the service of the house of God,
Wĩra wa Alawii warĩ wa gũteithia njiaro cia Harũni ũtungata-inĩ wa hekarũ ya Jehova ta ũũ: kũrũgamĩrĩra nja cia hekarũ na tũnyũmba twa ithaku-inĩ, na gũtherithia indo iria nyamũre, na kũruta mawĩra marĩa mangĩ thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ya Ngai.
29 and for the bread of the arrangement, and for fine flour for present, and for the thin unleavened cakes, and for [the work of] the pan, and for that which is fried, and for all [liquid] measure and [solid] measure;
Nĩo maarĩ arũgamĩrĩri a mĩgate ĩrĩa yaigagwo metha-inĩ, na maruta ma mũtu wa ngano, na tũmĩgate tũrĩa tũtarĩ na ndawa ya kũimbia, na wĩra wa gũkanda na kũruga mĩgate, na mawĩra mothe ma gũthima ũingĩ na mũigana wa indo.

Ningĩ marũgamage o rũciinĩ gũcookeria Jehova ngaatho na kũmũgooca. Ningĩ magekaga ũguo o hwaĩ-inĩ,
31 and for all the burnt-offerings — burnt-offerings to Jehovah for sabbaths, for new moons, and for appointed seasons, by number, according to the ordinance upon them continually, before Jehovah.

32 And they have kept the charge of the tent of meeting, and the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the sons of Aaron, their brethren, for the service of the house of Jehovah.
Na nĩ ũndũ ũcio Alawii magĩthiĩ na mbere kũruta wĩra ũrĩa mehokeirwo wa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo, na wa Handũ-harĩa-Hatheru, matongoretio nĩ ariũ a ithe wao a rũciaro rwa Harũni, nĩ ũndũ wa ũtungata wa hekarũ ya Jehova.
