1 Usoro otu ndị nche ọnụ ụzọ ụlọnsọ ahụ. Site na ndị Kora: Meshelemaia, nwa Kore, otu nʼime ụmụ Asaf.
Now the divisions of the porters were, from the Korahites: Meshelemiah, the son of Kore, of the sons of Asaph.

5 Amiel, nke isii Isaka, nke asaa na Peuletai, onye bụ onye nke asatọ. Nʼihi na Chineke gọziri Obed-Edọm.
Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, Peullethai the eighth. For the Lord had blessed him.
6 Shemaya, nwa ya mụtakwara ụmụ ndị ikom, ndị bụ ndị ndu nʼezinaụlọ nna ha, nʼihi na ha bụ dike na dimkpa.
Now to his son Shemaiah, there were born sons, rulers of their families. For they were very strong men.
7 Ụmụ ndị ikom Shemaya bụ, Otni, Refael, Obed na Elzabad; ụmụnne ya bụ Elihu na Semakaya bụkwa dike na dimkpa.
Then the sons of Shemaiah were Othni, and Rephael, and Obed, Elzabad and his brothers, very strong men, as well as Elihu and Semachiah.
8 Ndị a niile bụ ụmụ ụmụ Obed-Edọm; ha na ụmụ ha ndị ikom, na ndị ikwu ha niile bụ dimkpa ndị nwere ike ịrụ ọrụ ahụ. Ha niile bụ ụmụ ụmụ Obed-Edọm. Ha dị iri isii na abụọ nʼọnụọgụgụ.
All these were from the sons of Obededom: they and their sons and brothers, very fit for the ministry, sixty-two from Obededom.
9 E sitekwara nʼezinaụlọ Meshelemaia họpụta ndịisi iri na asatọ ndị bụkwa ezi ndị ndu.
Then there were the sons of Meshelemiah and their brothers, very robust men, eighteen.
10 Hosa, nwa Merari nwekwara ụmụ ndị ikom: Shimri onye nke mbụ (ọ bụ ezie na ọ bụghị ọkpara ya ma nna ya họpụtara ya ka ọ bụrụ onye mbụ).
Now, from Hosah, that is, from the sons of Merari: Shimri the leader, for he had not had a firstborn son, and so, because of this, his father had appointed him as the leader,
11 Hilkaya, nke abụọ, Tebalaya, nke atọ na Zekaraya onye nke anọ. Ụmụ ndị ikom na ụmụnne Hosa nwere dị iri na atọ.
Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third, Zechariah the fourth. All these, the sons and brothers of Hosah, were thirteen.
12 E kere ndị nche ụlọnsọ ukwu niile nʼotu nʼotu. Otu ndị a nwekwara ndịisi. E kenyekwara otu ọbụla ọrụ dịka e si kenye ụmụnna ha ọrụ ha nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị.
These were distributed as porters, so that the leaders of the posts, as well as their brothers, were ministering continually in the house of the Lord.
13 E sitere nʼife nza kenye ma nwantakịrị ma okenye, ọnụ ụzọ ha ga-eche nche, dịka ezinaụlọ ha si dị.
Then they cast lots equally, for both the small and the great, by their families, concerning each one of the gates.
14 Site nʼife nza, Shelemaya ketara iche ọnụ ụzọ dị nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ nche. Zekaraya nwa ya, onye ndụmọdụ nwere uche, sitekwara nʼife nza keta iche ọnụ ụzọ dị nʼakụkụ ugwu, ya na ndị otu ya.
And the lot of the east fell out to Shelemiah. But to his son Zechariah, a very prudent and learned man, the northern section was obtained by lot.
15 Obed-Edọm na ndị otu ya na-eche ụzọ dị na ndịda. Ụmụ ya bụ ndị na-eche ụlọ ebe a na-achịkọta ihe.
Truly, Obededom and his sons obtained that to the south, in the part of the house where the council of elders was.
16 Shupim na Hosa na-eche ọnụ ụzọ dị nʼọdịda anyanwụ ya na ọnụ ụzọ ama Shaleket nke dị nʼụzọ elu elu. Ndị nche na-esota ndị nche ibe ha.
Shuppim and Hosah obtained that toward the west, beside the gate that leads to the way of the ascent, one post facing the other.
17 Ya mere, ọ bụ ndị Livayị isii na-eche nche nʼọnụ ụzọ dị nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ ụbọchị niile. Mmadụ anọ na-anọ nʼugwu, anọ na ndịda, abụọ nʼebe a na-achịkọbata ihe.
Truly, toward the east there were six Levites, and toward the north there were four per day, and then toward the south similarly there were four each day. And where the council was, there were two and two.
18 Nʼogige nke dị nʼọdịda anyanwụ e nwere ndị nche anọ nʼụzọ, ndị nche abụọ ọzọ nʼime ogige nʼonwe ya.
Also, in the cells of the porters toward the west, there were four along the way, and two at every cell.
19 A họpụtara ndị nche ndị a site nʼikwu Kora na Merari.
These are the divisions of the porters of the sons of Kohath and of Merari.
20 Ụfọdụ ndị Livayị ka e nyefere ọrụ ilekọta ụlọakụ, na ụlọ a na-echekọta onyinye niile e doro nsọ nke e webatara nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Chineke.
Now Ahijah was over the treasuries of the house of God, and the holy vessels.
21 Ndị agbụrụ Ladan, ndị si nʼikwu Geshọn, ndị bụ ndịisi ezinaụlọ nna ha Ladan, bụ onye Geshọn, bụ Jehieli,
The sons of Ladan, sons of Gershon: from Ladan, leaders of the families of Ladan and of Gershon: Jehieli.
22 na ụmụ ndị ikom Jehieli, Zetam na nwanne ya nwoke Juel. Ndị a bụ ndị na-elekọta ụlọakụ niile dị nʼụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị.
The sons of Jehieli: Zetham and Joel; his brothers were over the treasuries of the house of the Lord,
23 Site na ndị Amram, na ndị Izha, na ndị Hebrọn, na ndị Uziel.
with the Amramites, and Izharites, and Hebronites, and Uzzielites.
24 Shubuel nwa Geshọm, na nwa nwa Mosis ka e nyere ọrụ ịbụ onyeisi ụlọakụ dị nʼụlọnsọ ahụ.
Now, Shebuel, the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, was in the first place over the treasuries,
25 Ụmụnna ya site na Elieza bụ ndị a, Rehabaya nwa ya nwoke, Jeshaya nwa nwoke Rehabaya, Joram nwa nwoke Jeshaya na Zikri nwa nwoke Shelomit.
along with his brothers, Eliezer, and his son Rehabiah, and his son Jeshaiah, and his son Joram, and also his son Zichri, and his son Shelomoth.
26 Shelomit na ụmụnna ya ka ọ dị nʼaka ilekọta ụlọakụ nke ihe nsọ niile, nke Devid bụ eze, na ndịisi ezinaụlọ niile, ndị bụ ndịisi agha na-achị ọtụtụ puku ndị agha, na ndịisi agha na-achị ọtụtụ narị ndị agha, na ndịisi agha ndị ọzọ, doro nsọ.
The same Shelomoth and his brothers were over the treasuries of the holy things, which king David sanctified, with the leaders of the families, and the tribunes, and the centurions, and the commanders of the army.
27 Ụfọdụ ihe agha na ihe sitere nʼihe a kwatara nʼagha ka ha doro nsọ maka idozi ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị.
These things were from the wars and from the best spoils of the battles, which they had consecrated for the repair and the furnishing of the temple of the Lord.
28 Ya na ihe niile nke Samuel, bụ onye ọhụ ụzọ, na Sọl, nwa Kish na Abna, nwa Nea na Joab, nwa Zeruaya na ihe niile ndị ọzọ e doro nsọ. Ọ bụ nʼaka Shelomit na ụmụnna ya ka ọ dị ilekọta ha.
Now all these things were sanctified by Samuel, the seer, and by Saul, the son of Kish, and by Abner, the son of Ner, and by Joab, the son of Zeruiah. All those who had sanctified these were under the hand of Shelomoth and his brothers.
29 Site nʼikwu Izha, Kenaniya, na ụmụ ndị ikom ya ka ozi dịrị pụọ nʼụlọnsọ, dịka ndịisi na ndị ikpe nye ndị Izrel.
Yet truly, Chenaniah and his sons were over the Izharites, for the exterior works concerning Israel, in order to teach and to judge them.
30 Site na ndị Hebrọn, Hashabaya na ụmụnna ya ndị bụkwa dimkpa, ọnụọgụgụ ha dị otu puku na narị asaa, ka e mere ndịisi ala Izrel dị nʼakụkụ ọdịda anyanwụ osimiri Jọdan. Ihe niile banyere ọrụ Onyenwe anyị, na ijere eze ozi dị ha nʼaka.
Now from the Hebronites, Hashabiah and his brothers, one thousand seven hundred very strong men, were in charge of Israel across the Jordan toward the west, in all the works of the Lord, and in the ministry of the king.
31 Jeraya bụ onyendu ndị Hebrọn, dịka akwụkwọ e dekọrọ usoro ọmụmụ si gosi. Nʼihi na nʼafọ nke iri anọ nke ọchịchị eze Devid nʼIzrel, ka e mere nnyocha nʼakwụkwọ usoro ọmụmụ chọpụta na e nwere ndị dị ike ọrụ nʼetiti ndị Hebrọn. A chọpụtara ndị a nʼobodo Jeza nke dị na Gilead.
And the leader of the Hebronites was Jerijah, according to their families and kindred. In the fortieth year of the reign of David, they were numbered, and there were found very strong men in Jazer Gilead.
32 Jeraya nwere ndị ikwu ya, ndị bụ dimkpa, na ndị dị ike ọrụ, ọnụọgụgụ ha dị puku abụọ na narị asaa. Ndị a niile bụkwa ndị ndu ezinaụlọ dị iche iche. Ya mere, Devid, eze Izrel, mere ha ndịisi ebo Ruben, na ebo Gad, na ọkara ebo Manase. Ọrụ ha bụ ilekọta ihe banyere ofufe Chineke na ije ozi niile metụtara eze.
And his brothers of a mature age were two thousand seven hundred leaders of families. Then king David placed them in charge of the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the one half tribe of Manasseh, in all of the ministries of God and of the king.
