1 Tantara 9
1 Dia nisaina araka ny firazanany avy ny Isiraely rehetra; ary, indro, efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely izany. Ary ny Joda dia nentina ho babo tany Babylona noho ny fahotany.
All of the people of Israel were recorded in the genealogies written down in the book of the kings of Israel. The people of Judah were taken away to captivity in Babylon because they had been unfaithful.
2 Ary ny mponina taloha tamin’ ny taniny sy ny tanànany avy dia ny Isiraely sy ny mpisorona sy ny Levita ary ny Netinima.
The first to return and reclaim their property and live in their towns were some Israelites, priests, Levities, and Temple servants.
3 Ary tany Jerosalema no nonenan’ ny sasany amin’ ny taranak’ i Joda sy Benjamina sy Efraima sy Manase:
Some from the tribes of Judah, Benjamin, Ephraim, and Manasseh returned to live in Jerusalem. They included:
4 dia Otahy, zanak’ i Amihoda, zanak’ i Omry, zanak’ Imry, zanak’ i Bany, avy amin’ ny taranak’ i Fareza, zanak’ i Joda.
Uthai son of Ammihud, son of Omri, son of Imri, son of Bani, a descendant of Perez, son of Judah.
5 Ary tamin’ ny Silonita dia Asay, lahimatoa, sy ny zanany.

Ibneiah son of Jeroham; Elah son of Uzzi, son of Micri; and Meshullam son of Shephatiah, son of Reuel, son of Ibnijah.
9 ary ny isan’ ny rahalahiny araka ny firazanany dia enina amby dimam-polo sy sivin-jato. Ireo lehilahy rehetra ireo dia samy lohan’ ny fianakaviany avy.
All of them were family heads as recorded in their genealogies, and they totaled 956.
10 Ary tamin’ ny mpisorona dia Jedaia sy Joiariba sy Jatina
From the priests: Jedaiah, Jehoiarib, Jakin,
11 sy Azaria, zanak’ i Hilkia, zanak’ i Mesolama, zanak’ i Zadoka, zanak’ i Meraiota, zanak’ i Ahitoba, mpanapaka ny tranon’ Andriamanitra,
Azariah son of Hilkiah, son of Meshullam, son of Zadok, son of Meraioth, son of Ahitub. (Azariah was the head official in charge of the house of God.)
12 ary Adaia, zanak’ i Jerohama, zanak’ i Pasora, zanak’ i Malkia, ary Masay, zanak’ i Adiela, zanak’ i Jazera, zanak’ i Mesolama, zanak’ i Mesilemita, zanak’ Imera.
Also Adaiah son of Jeroham, son of Pashhur, son of Malkijah, and Maasai son of Adiel, son of Jahzerah, son of Meshullam, son of Meshillemith, son of Immer.
13 Ary ny rahalahin’ ireo, izay samy lohan’ ny fianakaviany avy, dia enim-polo amby fiton-jato amby arivo; lehilahy mahery amin’ ny fanaovana ny fanompoana ao an-tranon’ Andriamanitra ireo.
The priests, who were family heads, totaled 1,760. They were strong and capable men who served in the house of God.
14 Ary tamin’ ny Levita dia Semaia, zanak’ i Hasoba, zanak’ i Azrikama, zanak’ i Hasabia, tamin’ ny taranak’ i Merary,
From the Levites: Shemaiah, son of Hasshub, son of Azrikam, son of Hashabiah, a descendant of Merari;

16 ary Obadia, zanak’ i Semaia, zanak’ i Galala, zanak’ i Jedotona, ary Berekia, zanak’ i Asa, zanak’ i Elkana, izay nonina tamin’ ny vohitry ny Netotatita.
Obadiah son of Shemaiah, son of Galal, son of Jeduthun; and Berekiah son of Asa, son of Elkanah, who used to live in the villages of the Netophathites.
17 Ary ny mpiandry varavarana dia Saloma sy Akoba sy Talmona sy Ahimana ary ny rahalahiny; fa Saloma no lohany;
The gatekeepers of the Temple: Shallum, Akkub, Talmon, Ahiman and their relatives. Shallum was the chief gatekeeper.
18 ambaraka ankehitriny dia ao amin’ ny vavahadin’ ny mpanjaka atsinanana izy; ireo no mpiandry varavarana tamin’ ny tobin’ ny taranak’ i Levy.
They had the responsibility up until now of looking after the King's Gate on the east side. They were the gatekeepers of the camps of the Levites.
19 Ary Saloma, zanak’ i Kore, zanak’ i Abiasafa, zanak’ i Kora, sy ny Koraïta rahalahiny araka ny fianakaviany avy no mpanao ny fanompoana amin’ ny fiandrasana ny varavaran’ ny lay; ary ny razany koa dia mpiambina ny vavahady tao amin’ ny tobin’ i Jehovah.
Shallum was the son of Kore, son of Ebiasaph, son of Korah. He and his relatives, the Korahites, were responsible for guarding the entrances to the sanctuary in the same way their fathers had been responsible for guarding the entrance to the tented house of the Lord.
20 Ary Finehasa, zanak’ i Eleazara, no mpanapaka ireo taloha, ary Jehovah nomba azy.
Previously Phinehas son of Eleazar had been the leader of the gatekeepers. The Lord was with him.
21 Ary Zakaria, zanak’ i Meselemia, no mpiandry ny varavaran’ ny trano-lay fihaonana.
Zechariah son of Meshelemiah was the gatekeeper at the entrance to the tent of meeting.
22 Ary ny isan’ ireo voafidy ho mpiandry varavarana ireo dia roa ambin’ ny folo amby roan-jato. Ireo dia voasoratra araka ny firazanany tany amin’ ny vohiny avy; ary notendren’ i Davida sy Samoela mpahita izy noho ny fahamarinany.
In total there were 212 chosen to be gatekeepers at the entrances. They recorded their genealogies in their home towns. David and Samuel the prophet had selected their forefathers for their faithfulness.
23 Ka dia ireo sy ny taranany no niandry varavarana tao amin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah, dia ny trano-lay.
They and their descendants were responsible for guarding the entrance to the house of the Lord, also when it was a tent.
24 Teo amin’ ny lafiny efatra no nitoeran’ ny mpiandry varavarana, dia teo atsinanana sy andrefana sy avaratra ary atsimo.
The gatekeepers were placed on four sides: east, west, north, and south.
25 Ary ny rahalahiny izay nonina teo amin’ ny vohiny dia nasaina ho avy isan-kafitoana ho eo aminy.
Their relatives in their towns came every seven days at certain times to help them.
26 Fa nanao tamin’ ny fahamarinany ireo Levita efa-dahy, lohan’ ny mpiandry varavarana, ireo, ary tonian’ ny efi-trano fitehirizana sy ny rakitry ny tranon’ Andriamanitra koa izy ireo.
The four chief gatekeepers, who were Levites, were given the responsibility of looking after the rooms and treasuries in the house of God.
27 Ary manodidina ny tranon’ Andriamanitra no nandriany; fa izy ireo no mpiambina azy sady adidiny ny famohana ny trano isa-maraina.
They spent the night around the house of God because they had to guard it and they had the key to unlock it in the morning.
28 Ary ny sasany aminy nitandrina ny fanaka momba ny fanompoana; fa an-isany no nitondrany azy miditra sy mivoaka.
Some of the gatekeepers were responsible for the articles that were used in worship services. They counted what was brought in and what was taken out.
29 Ary ny sasany aminy koa notendrena hitandrina ny fanaka, dia ny fanaka masìna rehetra, sy ny koba tsara toto sy ny divay sy ny diloilo sy ny ditin-kazo manitra ary ny zava-manitra.
Others were given the job of looking after the furniture and equipment used in the sanctuary, as well as the special flour, wine, olive oil, incense, and spices.
30 Ary ny sasany tamin’ ny zanaky ny mpisorona nangaroharo ny zava-manitra fanosorana.
(However, some of the priests were in charge of mixing the spices.)
31 Ary Matatia, anankiray tamin’ ny Levita, lahimatoan’ i Saloma Koraïta, no tonian’ ny zavatra izay natao tamin’ ny fanendasana.
Mattithiah, a Levite, who was the firstborn son of Shallum the Korahite, was given the responsibility of baking the bread used in offerings.
32 Ary ny sasany tamin’ ny rahalahiny, tamin’ ny taranaky ny Kehatita, no tonian’ ny mofo aseho hamboatra azy isan-tSabata.
Other Kohathites were in charge of preparing the bread set out on the table every Sabbath.
33 Ary ireo ihany koa no mpihira, lohan’ ny fianakaviana amin’ ny Levita, izay mitoetra tsy manan-draharaha hafa ao amin’ ireo efi-trano; fa tsy maintsy ho amin’ izany raharaha izany andro aman’ alina izy.
The musicians, heads of Levite families, lived in the rooms in the Temple and were not required to carry out other duties because they were on duty day and night.
34 Ireo dia lohan’ ny fianakaviana tamin’ ny Levita araka ny firazanany avy, dia samy loholona. Ireo no nonina tany Jerosalema.
These were all heads of Levite families, leaders as recorded in their genealogies, and they lived in Jerusalem.
35 Ary tao Gibeona no nonenan’ i Jeiela, razamben’ ny an’ i Gibeona, ary ny anaran’ ny vadiny dia Imaka;
Jeiel was the father of Gibeon and he lived in Gibeon. His wife's name was Maacah.
36 ary ny zanany lahimatoa dia Abdona, dia Zora, dia Kisy, dia Bala, dia Nera, dia Nadaba,
His firstborn son was Abdon, then Zur, Kish, Baal, Ner, Nadab,
37 dia Gedora, dia Ahio, dia Zakaria, dia Miklota.
Gedor, Ahio, Zechariah, and Mikloth.
38 Ary Miklota niteraka an’ i Simeama. Ary ireo koa niara-nonina tamin’ ny rahalahiny tany Jerosalema nifanandrify fonenana taminy.
Mikloth was the father of Shimeam. They also lived near their relatives in Jerusalem.
39 Ary Nera niteraka an’ i Kisy; ary Kisy niteraka an’ i Saoly; ary Saoly niteraka an’ i Jonatana sy Malkisoa sy Abinadaba ary Esbala.
Ner was the father of Kish, Kish was the father of Saul, and Saul was the father of Jonathan, Malki-Shua, Abinadab, and Esh-Baal.
40 Ary ny zanakalahin’ i Jonatana dia Meribala, ary Meribala niteraka an’ i Mika.
The son of Jonathan: Merib-Baal, who was the father of Micah.
41 Ary ny zanakalahin’ i Mika dia Pitona sy Maleka sy Tarea ary Ahaza.
The sons of Micah: Pithon, Melech, Tahrea, and Ahaz.
42 Ary Ahaza niteraka an’ i Jara; ary Jara niteraka an’ i Alemeta sy Azmaveta ary Zimry; ary Zimry niteraka an’ i Moza;
Ahaz was the father of Jadah, Jadah was the father of Alemeth, Azmaveth, and Zimri, and Zimri was the father of Moza.
43 ary Moza niteraka an’ i Binea; ary Refaia no zanakalahin’ i Binea, Elasa no zanakalahin’ i Refaia, Azela no zanakalahin’ i Elasa.
Moza was the father of Binea; Rephaiah was his son, Eleasah his son, and Azel his son.
44 Ary Azela nanana zanaka enina mirahalahy ka izao no anarany avy: Azrikama sy Bokero sy Isimaela sy Searia sy Obadia ary Hanana; ireo no zanakalahin’ i Azela.
Azel had six sons. Their names were: Azrikam, Bokeru, Ishmael, Sheariah, Obadiah, and Hanan. These were the sons of Azel.
