So all Israel were reckoned by genealogies; and, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel: and Judah was carried away captive to Babylon for their transgression.

who hitherto [waited] in the king’s gate eastward: they were the porters for the camp of the children of Levi.

19 Shalum bụ nwa Kore, na nwa nwa Ebiasaf na Kora. Ya na ụmụnna ya ka ọ bụ ọrụ ha ilekọta ebe a na-eje ozi, na ọnụ ụzọ ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ dịka nna nna ha lekọtara, cheekwa ụlọ nzute Onyenwe anyị nche.

And Shallum the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his brethren, of his father’s house, the Korahites, were over the work of the service, keepers of the gates of the tabernacle: and their fathers had been over the camp of the LORD, keepers of the entry;

All these which were chosen to be porters in the gates were two hundred and twelve. These were reckoned by genealogy in their villages, whom David and Samuel the seer did ordain in their set office.

23 Ha na ụmụ ụmụ ha ka e tinyere ya nʼaka iche ụlọ nzute Onyenwe anyị nche.

So they and their children had the oversight of the gates of the house of the LORD, even the house of the tabernacle, by wards.

24 Ha na-eche akụkụ anọ ya niile, ọwụwa anyanwụ, ọdịda anyanwụ, ugwu na ndịda.

On the four sides were the porters, toward the east, west, north, and south.

25 Ụbọchị asaa ka ha na-anọ nʼọrụ a. Emesịa, ụmụnna ha na-abịa gbanwee ha. Ya mere, ha na-agbanwe onwe ha ụbọchị asaa asaa.

And their brethren, and their villages, were to come in every seven days from time to time to be with them:

for the four chief porters, who were Levites, were in a set office, and were over the chambers and over the treasuries in the house of God.

27 Ha na-eche nche gburugburu ụlọnsọ Chineke abalị niile, nʼihi na ọ bụ ha ka ọ dị nʼaka iche ya nche. Ọ bụkwa ha ka e nyefere ọrụ imeghe ya ụtụtụ niile.

And they lodged round about the house of God, because the charge [thereof] was upon them, and to them pertained the opening thereof morning by morning.

28 Ụfọdụ nʼime ha ka ọ dị nʼaka ilekọta ngwongwo e ji achụ aja. Ha na-agụ ya ọnụ mgbe ọbụla e webatara ya, na mgbe ọbụla a na-ewepụ ya.

And certain of them had charge of the vessels of service; for by tale were they brought in and by tale were they taken out.

29 Ndị ọzọ na-elekọta ihe niile e ji chọọ ụlọnsọ ahụ mma, ya na ụtụ ọka, na mmanya, na ihe nsure ọkụ na-esi isi ụtọ, na ụda dị iche iche.

Some of them also were appointed over the furniture, and over all the vessels of the sanctuary, and over the fine flour, and the wine, and the oil, and the frankincense, and the spices:

30 Ma ọ bụ ndị nchụaja ndị ọzọ ka e nyere ọrụ ịsụ, ịgwakọta na ịkpụkọta ụda na ihe nsure ọkụ na-esi isi ụtọ.

32 Ụfọdụ nʼime ndị ikwu Kohat ka ọ dị nʼaka ime achịcha pụrụ iche, a na-adọkwasị nʼelu tebul, nʼụbọchị izuike niile.

And some of their brethren, of the sons of the Kohathites, were over the shewbread, to prepare it every sabbath.

33 Ndị ọbụ abụ, ndị bụ ndịisi ezinaụlọ ndị Livayị na-anọgide nʼime ọnụụlọ ndị dị nʼụlọnsọ ukwu nʼihi na e kweghị ka ha rụọ ọrụ ọzọ ebe ọ bụ na ha na-arụ ọrụ ịbụ abụ ehihie na abalị niile.

And these are the singers, heads of fathers’ [houses] of the Levites, [who dwelt] in the chambers [and were] free [from other service]: for they were employed in their work day and night.

34 Ha niile bụ ndịisi ezinaụlọ nʼebo Livayị. Ndị ndu dịka e depụtakwara aha ha nʼakwụkwọ usoro ọmụmụ. Ha bikwa na Jerusalem.
