1 Eggwanga lyonna erya Isirayiri lyabalibwa ng’okuzaalibwa kwabwe bwe kwali era ne bawandiikibwa mu kitabo ky’ebyafaayo bya bassekabaka ba Isirayiri. Olw’okukola ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama, abantu ba Yuda nabo baatwalibwa mu buwaŋŋanguse.

So all Israel were recorded by their genealogies, and, behold, they are written in the book of the Kings of Israel; but [the men of] Judah were carried away into exile to Babylon for their unfaithfulness.

2 Abaasooka okubeera ewaabwe mu bibuga byabwe be baali Abayisirayiri abamu, ne bakabona, n’Abaleevi, n’abalala abaaweerezanga mu yeekaalu.

And the first inhabitants that [dwelt again] in their possessions in their cities, were the Israelites, the priests, the Levites, and the temple-servants.

3 Abamu ku abo abaabeeranga mu Yerusaalemi nga bava mu Yuda, ne Benyamini, ne Efulayimu ne Manase baali:

And in Jerusalem dwelt some of the children of Judah, and of the children of Benjamin, and of the children of Ephraim, and Menasseh.

And Yibneyah the son of Jerocham, and Elah the son of 'Uzzi, the son of Michri, and Meshullam the son of Shephatyah, the son of Re'uel, the son of Yibniyah;

9 Abantu b’omu kika kya Benyamini, baali bawera lwenda mu ataano mu mukaaga, ate nga bonna bakulu ba nda zaabwe.

And their brethren, according to their generations, nine hundred and fifty and six. All these men were chiefs of the divisions of their family divisions.

10 Ku bakabona abaakomawo kwaliko Yedaya, ne Yekoyalibu, ne Yakini,

And of the priests: Jeda'yah, and Jehoyarib, and Jachin.

11 ne Azaliya mutabani wa Kirukiya, muzzukulu wa Mesullamu, muzzukulu wa Zadooki, muzzukulu wa Merayoosi, muzzukulu wa Akituubu, omukulu eyavunaanyizibwanga ennyumba ya Katonda;

And 'Azaryah the son of Chilkiyah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Merayoth, the son of Actitub, the ruler of the house of God.

12 ne Adaaya mutabani wa Yerokamu, muzzukulu wa Pasukuli, muzzukulu wa Malukiya, ne Maasayi mutabani wa Adyeri, muzzukulu wa Yazera, muzzukulu wa Mesullamu, muzzukulu wa Mesiremisi, muzzukulu wa Immeri.

And 'Adayah the son of Jerocham, the son of Pashchur, the son of Malkiyah, and Ma'sai the son of 'Adiel, the son of Jachzerah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Meshillemith, the son of Immer:

13 Bakabona abaali abakulu b’enda zaabwe baali lukumi mu lusanvu mu nkaaga. Baali basajja babuvunaanyizibwa mu buweereza bwabwe mu nnyumba ya Katonda.

And their brethren, chiefs of their family divisions, were one thousand and seven hundred and sixty, very able men for the work of the service of the house of God.

17 Abaggazi ba wankaaki baali, Sallumu, ne Akabu, ne Talumoni, ne Akimaani ne baganda baabwe abalala, era mukulu waabwe ye yali Sallumu;

And the gatekeepers were Shallum, and 'Akkub, and Talmon, and Achiman, and their brethren, Shallum being the chief;

18 be baayimiriranga ku ludda olw’ebuvanjuba olwa wankaaki ya Kabaka, era gwe mulimu gwabwe n’okutuusa leero. Abo be baali abaggazi ab’omu kika ky’Abaleevi.

And up to this time they are in the king's gate to the eastward: they are the gatekeepers for the camps of the children of Levi.

19 Sallumu yali mutabani wa Koole, muzzukulu wa Ebiyasaafu, muzzukulu wa Koola, ne ab’omu nnyumba ya kitaawe be baavunaanyizibwanga okukuuma enzigi za yeekaalu nga bajjajjaabwe nabo bwe baavunaanyizibwanga omulyango gw’ekifo Mukama gy’abeera.

And Shallum the son of Kore, the son of Ebyassaph, the son of Korach, and his brethren, of the house of his father, the Korchites, being over the work of the service, were the watchmen at the threshold of the tabernacle: and their fathers, being over the camp of the Lord, were the watchmen at the entrance [thereof].

20 Finekaasi mutabani wa Eriyazaali ye yakuliranga abaggazi mu biro eby’edda, era Mukama n’abeeranga wamu naye.

And Phinehas the son of El'azar was the ruler over them in times past; [and] the Lord was with him.

21 Zekkaliya mutabani wa Meseremiya ye yali omuggazi ku mulyango gw’Eweema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu.

[And] Zechariah the son of Meshelemyah was gatekeeper at the entrance of the tabernacle of the congregation.

22 Bonna awamu, abaalondebwa okuba abaggazi b’emiryango baali bibiri mu kkumi na babiri, era baali baawandiikibwa mu byalo byabwe ng’okuzaalibwa kwabwe bwe kwali. Dawudi ne nnabbi Samwiri be bayawula emirimu gy’abaggazi nga bwe gyali.

All of these selected to be gatekeepers at the thresholds were two hundred and twelve. These were recorded according to their genealogy in their villages; [and they were] those [whom] David and Samuel the seer did ordain in their trust.

23 Bo ne bazzukulu baabwe, be baavunaanyizibwanga okukuuma enzigi z’ennyumba ya Mukama, ennyumba eyayitibwanga Eweema.

Both they and their children had the oversight over the gates of the house of the Lord, [namely, ] the house of the tabernacle, as watches.

24 Abaggazi baabeeranga ku njuyi ennya, olw’ebuvanjuba, olw’ebugwanjuba, olw’obukiikakkono, n’olwobukiikaddyo,

On four quarters were the gatekeepers, toward the east, the west, the north, and the south.

25 era baganda baabwe okuva mu byalo byabwe, bajjanga mu mpalo ne bakumanga okumala ebbanga kya nnaku musanvu.

And their brethren, who were in their villages, had to come after every seven days from time to time in common with these.

26 Abaggazi abana, abaali Abaleevi, be baaweebwa obuvunaanyizibwa okulabiriranga ebisenge eby’omunda n’amawanika ag’omu nnyumba ya Katonda.

For in [their] trust were these four chief gatekeepers— these Levites, and they were [appointed] over the chambers and treasuries of the house of God.

27 Baasulanga okuliraana ne nnyumba ya Katonda kubanga be baagikuumanga, era nga buli nkya be bavunaanyizibwa okugiggalawo.

And they lodged round about the house of God; because upon them rested the duty of watching, and they had the supervision of the opening thereof each and every morning.

28 Abamu ku bo baavunaanyizibwanga okukuuma ebintu ebyakozesebwanga mu kuweereza mu yeekaalu, era nga be babala ennyingiza yaabyo ne nfulumya yaabyo.

And some of them had the charge of the vessels for the service; for by number did they bring them in, and by number did they carry them out.

29 Abalala baavunaanyizibwanga okulabirira ebikozesebwa mu mirimu n’ebintu byonna eby’omu watukuvu, era nga be bavunaanyizibwa okulabirira obutta obulungi, n’omwenge, n’amafuta, n’omugavu, n’ebyakaloosa.

Some of them also were appointed over the vessels, 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 Wabula abamu ku bakabona baategekanga byakaloosa.

And some of the sons of the priests prepared the mixture of the spices.

31 Mattisiya mutabani wa Sallumu Omukoola, ate nga y’omu ku Baleevi, ye yavunaanyizibwanga okufumba emigaati gy’ebiweebwayo,

And Matthithyah, one of the Levites, who was the first-born of Shallum the Korchite, had the trust over the meat-offerings that were baked in the pans.

32 era abamu ku baganda b’Abakokasi baavunaanyizibwanga okussanga emigaati egya buli ssabbiiti ku mmeeza.

And others of their brethren, of the sons of the Kehathites, were over the orders of the shew-bread, to prepare it every sabbath.

33 Abayimbi, abakulu b’ekika ky’Abaleevi baasulanga mu bisenge eby’omunda wa Yeekaalu, era nga tebakola mulimu mulala gwonna emisana n’ekiro okuggyako ogwo ogwabwe omutongole.

But these the singers, the chiefs of the divisions of the Levites, remained in the chambers free of service; for day and night were they obliged to engage in that work.

34 Abo bonna baali bakulu b’enda ez’Abaleevi, nga bwe baawandiikibwa mu kuzaalibwa kwabwe, era baabeeranga mu Yerusaalemi.

These are the chiefs of the divisions of the Levites, being the chiefs for their generations: these dwelt at Jerusalem.

35 Yeyeri kitaawe wa Gibyoni era yatulanga mu Gibyoni, n’erinnya lya mukyala we nga ye Maaka,

And in Gib'on dwelt the father of Gib'on, Je'iel; and the name of his wife was Ma'achah;

36 ne mutabani waabwe omuggulanda yali Abudoni, Zuuli n’amuddirira, Kiisi n’addako, Baali n’addako, Neeri n’addako, Nadabu n’addako,

And his first-born son was 'Abdon, then Zur, and Kish, and Ba'al, and Ner, and Nadab,

37 ne Gedoli n’addako, Akiyo n’addako, Zekkaliya n’addako, Mikuloosi n’asembayo.

And Gedor, and Achyo, and Zechariah, and Mikloth.

38 Mikuloosi yazaala Simyamu, era nabo baabeeranga kumpi ne baganda baabwe mu Yerusaalemi.

And Mikloth begat Shimam. And they also dwelt alongside of their brethren at Jerusalem, with their brethren.

39 Neeri n’azaala Kiisi, Kiisi n’azaala Sawulo. Sawulo n’azaala Yonasaani, ne Malukisuwa, ne Abinadaabu ne Esubaali.

And Ner begat Kish; and Kish begat Saul; and Saul begat Jehonathan, and Malki-shua', and Abinadab, and Eshba'al.

40 Mutabani wa Yonasaani ye yali Meribubaali, ne Meribubaali n’azaala Mikka.

And the son of Jehonathan was Merib-ba'al: and Merib-ba'al begat Michah.

41 Batabani ba Mikka baali Pisoni, ne Mereki, ne Taleya ne Akazi.

And the sons of Michah were, Pithon, and Melech, and Thachrea'.

And Achaz begat Ja'rah; and Ja'rah begat 'Alemeth, 'Azmaveth, and Zimri; and Zimri begat Moza;

And Moza begat Bin'a; ! and Rephayah his son, El'assah his son, Azel his son.

44 Azeri yalina batabani be mukaaga, era gano ge gaali amannya gaabwe: Azulikamu, ne Bokeru, ne Isimayiri, ne Seyaliya, ne Obadiya, ne Kanani.

And Azel had six sons, and these are their names, 'Azrikam, Bocheru, and Ishmael, and She'aryah, and 'Obadiah, and Chanan: these were the sons of Azel.
