6 Et à Sémahja son fils naquirent des enfants, qui eurent le commandement sur la maison de leur père, parce qu'ils étaient hommes forts et vaillants.
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.

The sons of Shemaiah were Othni, Rephael, Obed, and Elzabad. Shemaiah’s relatives Elihu and Semakiah were also capable men.
8 Tous ceux-là étaient des enfants d'Hobed-Edom, eux et leurs fils, et leurs frères, hommes vaillants, et forts pour le service; ils étaient soixante-deux d'Hobed-Edom.
All of those descendants of Obed-Edom and their sons and relatives were capable people and strong workers. Altogether there were 62 of them.
9 Et les enfants de Mésélémia avec ses frères étaient dix-huit, vaillants hommes.
Another guard was Meshelemiah. He and his sons and relatives were also capable people. There were 18 of them altogether.

Hosah’s other sons were Hilkiah, Tabaliah, and Zechariah. Altogether there were 13 sons and relatives of Hosah.
12 On fit à ceux-là les départements des portiers, en sorte que les charges furent distribuées aux Chefs de famille, en égalant les uns aux autres, afin qu'ils servissent dans la maison de l'Eternel.
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.
13 Car ils jetèrent les sorts autant pour le plus petit que pour le plus grand, selon leurs familles, pour chaque porte.
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.
14 Et ainsi le sort [pour la porte] vers l'Orient échut à Sélémia. Puis on jeta le sort pour Zacharie son fils, sage conseiller, et son sort échut [pour la porte] vers le Septentrion.
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.

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.
17 Il y avait vers l'Orient, six Lévites; vers le Septentrion, quatre par jour; vers le Midi, quatre aussi par jour; et vers [la maison] des assemblées deux de chaque côté.
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.

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.
28 Et tout ce qu'avait consacré Samuël le voyant, et Saül fils de Kis, et Abner fils de Ner, et Joab fils de Tséruïa; tout ce, enfin, qu'on consacrait, était mis entre les mains de Sélomith et de ses frères.
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.

31 Quant aux Hébronites, selon leurs générations dans les familles des pères, Jérija fut le Chef des Hébronites. On en fit la recherche en la quarantième année du règne de David, et on trouva parmi eux à Jahzer de Galaad des hommes forts et vaillants.
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].
32 Les frères donc de [Jérija], hommes vaillants, furent deux mille sept cents, issus des Chefs des pères; et le Roi David les établit sur les Rubénites, sur les Gadites, et sur la demi-Tribu de Manassé, pour tout ce qui concernait Dieu, et pour les affaires du Roi.
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.
