1 Imilando 9

1 UIsrayeli wonke wasebalwa ngezizukulwana; khangela-ke, zibhaliwe egwalweni lwamakhosi akoIsrayeli; kodwa abakoJuda bathunjelwa eBhabhiloni ngenxa yeziphambeko zabo.

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 Njalo abahlali bokuqala ababeselizweni labo emizini yabo kwakunguIsrayeli, abapristi, amaLevi, lamaNethini.

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 Njalo eJerusalema kwahlala ababantwana bakoJuda lababantwana bakoBhenjamini lababantwana bakoEfrayimi loManase:

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

4 U-Uthayi indodana kaAmihudi indodana kaOmri indodana kaImri indodana kaBani, wabantwana bakaPerezi indodana kaJuda.

And of the Shilonites: 'Assayah the first-born, and his sons.

6 Lakumadodana kaZera: UJeyuweli labafowabo, amakhulu ayisithupha lamatshumi ayisificamunwemunye.

And of the sons of Zerach: Je'uel, and their brethren, six hundred and ninety.

8 loIbineya indodana kaJerohamu, loEla indodana kaUzi indodana kaMikiri, loMeshulamu indodana kaShefathiya indodana kaRehuweli indodana kaIbiniya;

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 labafowabo ngezizukulwana zabo, amakhulu ayisificamunwemunye lamatshumi amahlanu lesithupha. Wonke lamadoda ayeyizinhloko zaboyise endlini yaboyise.

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 Lakubapristi: OJedaya, loJehoyaribi, loJakini,

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

11 loAzariya indodana kaHilikhiya indodana kaMeshulamu indodana kaZadoki indodana kaMerayothi indodana kaAhitubi, umphathi wendlu kaNkulunkulu,

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 loAdaya indodana kaJerohamu indodana kaPashuri indodana kaMalikiya, loMahasayi indodana kaAdiyeli indodana kaJahizera indodana kaMeshulamu indodana kaMeshilemithi indodana kaImeri,

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 labafowabo, izinhloko zendlu yaboyise, inkulungwane lamakhulu ayisikhombisa lamatshumi ayisithupha, abalamandla ngobungcwethi emsebenzini wenkonzo yendlu kaNkulunkulu.

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.

14 LakumaLevi: UShemaya indodana kaHashubi indodana kaAzirikamu indodana kaHashabhiya, owamadodana kaMerari,

And of the Levites: Shema'yah the son of Chasshub, the son of 'Azrikam, the son of Chashabyah, of the sons of Merari;

16 loObhadiya indodana kaShemaya indodana kaGalali indodana kaJeduthuni, loBerekiya indodana kaAsa indodana kaElkana owahlala emizini yamaNetofa.

And 'Obadiah the son of Shema'yah, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun; and Berechyah the son of Assa, the son of Elkanah, that dwelt in the villages of the Netophathites.

17 Labagcini bamasango oShaluma loAkubi loTalimoni loAhimani; lomfowabo uShaluma wayeyinhloko;

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

18 njalo kuze kube yilesisikhathi, babesesangweni lenkosi ngempumalanga, laba babengabagcini bamasango enkambeni yabantwana bakoLevi.

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 UShaluma indodana kaKore indodana kaEbiyasafi indodana kaKora, labafowabo, abendlu kayise, amaKora, basebephatha umsebenzi wenkonzo, abalindi beminyango yethente; laboyise baphatha ibandla leNkosi, abalindi bentuba.

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 UPhinehasi indodana kaEleyazare wayengumbusi phezu kwabo ngaphambili; iNkosi yayilaye.

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

21 UZekhariya indodana kaMeshelemiya wayengumgcinisango emnyango wethente lenhlangano.

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

22 Bonke labo abakhethwayo babangabagcinimasango emibundwini, babengamakhulu amabili letshumi lambili; babhalwa ngezizukulwana zabo emizini yabo; oDavida loSamuweli umboni ababamisa esikhundleni sabo.

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 Ngakho bona lamadodana abo baphatha amasango endlini yeNkosi, indlu yethente, ngemilindo.

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 Abalindi bamasango babekhona emimoyeni yomine, empumalanga, entshonalanga, enyakatho, leningizimu.

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

25 Labafowabo ababesemizini yabo babefanele beze okwensuku eziyisikhombisa izikhathi ngezikhathi kanye labo.

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

26 Ngoba amaLevi la, abagcini bamasango abakhulu bobane, babesesikhundleni, babephethe amakamelo bephezu kwezindlu zenotho zendlu kaNkulunkulu.

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 Njalo babehlala ebusuku bezingelezele indlu kaNkulunkulu, ngoba umlindo wawuphezu kwabo, njalo bephethe ukuvulwa kwayo, ngitsho ikuseni ngekuseni.

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 Njalo abanye babo babephethe izitsha zenkonzo, ngoba ngenani bazingenisa, langenani bazikhupha.

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 Labanye babo babemiswe phezu kwezitsha, laphezu kwazo zonke izitsha ezingcwele, laphezu kwempuphu ecolekileyo lewayini lamafutha lempepha lamakha.

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 Abanye emadodaneni abapristi babehlanganisa-ke amafutha amakha.

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

31 LoMathithiya kumaLevi, owayelizibulo likaShaluma umKora, wayephathiswe umsebenzi wamaqebelengwana abhakwe emapanini.

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 Labanye babantwana bamaKohathi kubafowabo babephethe isinkwa sokubukiswa ukusilungisa isabatha ngesabatha.

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 Lalaba ngabahlabeleli, izinhloko zaboyise bamaLevi, emakamelweni, bekhululekile, ngoba emini lebusuku kwakuphezu kwabo ukuba semsebenzini.

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 Laba bazinhloko zaboyise bamaLevi, izinhloko ngezizukulwana zabo; laba bahlala eJerusalema.

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

35 EGibeyoni kwakuhlala-ke uyise kaGibeyoni, uJehiyeli; lebizo lomkakhe lalinguMahaka.

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

36 Lendodana yakhe elizibulo uAbidoni, loZuri loKishi loBhali loNeri loNadabi

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

37 loGedori loAhiyo loZekhariya loMikilothi.

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

38 UMikilothi wasezala uShimeyamu; laba labo bahlala eJerusalema maqondana labafowabo kanye labafowabo.

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

39 UNeri wasezala uKishi; uKishi wasezala uSawuli; uSawuli wasezala oJonathani loMaliki-Shuwa loAbinadaba loEshibhali.

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

40 Njalo indodana kaJonathani yayinguMeribi-Bhali; uMeribi-Bhali wasezala uMika.

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

41 Njalo amadodana kaMika: OPithoni loMeleki loTareya.

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

42 UAhazi wasezala uJara; uJara wasezala oAlemethi loAzimavethi loZimri. UZimri wasezala uMoza.

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

43 UMoza wasezala uBineya, loRefaya indodana yakhe, uEleyasa indodana yakhe, uAzeli indodana yakhe.

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

44 Njalo uAzeli wayelamadodana ayisithupha; lala ngamabizo awo: OAzirikamu, uBhokeru, loIshmayeli, loSheyariya, loObhadiya, loHanani. La ayengamadodana kaAzeli.

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.
