1 Seenaa 23
1 Daawit erga waggaa hedduu jiraatee dulloomee booddee ilma isaa Solomoonin Israaʼel irratti mootii godhe.
And when David was old and full of days, he made Solomon his son king over Israel.
2 Akkasumas Daawit dura buutota Israaʼel hunda, lubootaa fi Lewwota illee walitti qabe.
And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.
3 Lewwonni umuriin isaanii waggaa soddomaa fi hammasii olii ni lakkaaʼaman; baayʼinni dhiirotaa kuma soddomii saddeet taʼe.
And then were numbered the Levites from thirty years old and upward: and their number by their polls, of men, was thirty and eight thousand.
4 Daawitis akkana jedhe; “Isaan kanneen keessaa kuma digdamii afur hojii mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo haa toʼatan; namoonni kuma jaʼa qondaaltotaa fi abbootii murtii haa taʼan.
Of these were twenty and four thousand to superintend the work of the house of the Lord; and six thousand were officers and judges;
5 Kumni afur eegdota balbalaa haa taʼan; kumni afur immoo miʼoota faarfannaa kanneen ani kaayyoo kanaaf kenneen Waaqayyoon haa galateeffatan.”
And four thousand were gatekeepers: and four thousand those who praised the Lord with the instruments which I have made, to praise therewith.
6 Daawitis Lewwota akkuma gosoota Lewwiitti garee gareen gargar ni qoode; isaanis: Geershoon, Qohaatii fi Meraarii.
And David divided them into divisions after the sons of Levi, after Gershon, Kehath, and Merari.
7 Gosa Geershoon keessaa: Laʼadaanii fi Shimeʼii.
Of the Gershunites: La'dan, and Shim'i.
8 Ilmaan Laʼadaanii: Yehiiʼeel hangafticha, Zeetaamii fi Yooʼeel; walumatti nama sadii turan.
The sons of La'dan: The chief was Jechiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three.
9 Ilmaan Shimeʼii: Sheloomot, Haziiʼeelii fi Haaraan; walumatti nama sadii turan. Isaan kunneen hangafoota Maatii Laʼadaan turan.
The sons of Shim'i: Shelomith, and Chaziel, and Haran, three. These were the chiefs of the families of La'dan.
10 Ilmaan Shimeʼii: Yahaati, Ziinaa, Yeʼuushii fi Beriiyaa. Isaan kunneen ilmaan Shimeʼii ti; walumatti nama afur turan.
And the sons of Shim'i were, Jachath, Zina, and Je'ush, and Beri'ah. These four were the sons of Shim'i.
11 Yahaati hangafa; Ziinaan lammaffaa; Yeʼuushii fi Beriiyaan garuu ilmaan baayʼee hin qaban; kanaafuu isaan akkuma maatii tokkootti lakkaaʼaman.
And Jachath was the chief, and Zizah the second; but Je'ush and Beri'ah had not many sons: therefore were they accounted as one family division in the numbering.
12 Ilmaan Qohaatii: Amraam, Yizihaar, Kebroonii fi Uziiʼeel; walumatti nama afur turan.
The sons of Kehath: 'Amram, Yizhar, Hebron, and 'Uzziel, four.
13 Ilmaan Amraam: Aroonii fi Musee. Aroon akka innii fi sanyiin isaa wantoota waan hunda caalaa qulqulluu taʼan Waaqaaf qulqulleessaniif, akka fuula Waaqayyoo duratti aarsaa dhiʼeessaniif, akka fuula isaa dura tajaajilanii fi akka maqaa isaatiin eebba labsaniif bara baraan addaan baafaman.
The sons of 'Amram, Aaron and Moses: and Aaron was set apart, to sanctify him as most holy, he with his sons for ever, to burn incense before the Lord, to minister unto him, and to bless in his name for ever.
14 Ilmaan Musee nama Waaqaa immoo gosa Lewwiitti dabalamanii lakkaaʼaman.
But as regardeth Moses the man of God, his sons were named after the tribe of Levi.
15 Ilmaan Musee: Geershoomii fi Eliiʼezer.
The sons of Moses were, Gershom, and Eli'ezer.
16 Ilmaan Geershoomii: Shebuuʼeel hangafa.
Of the sons of Gershom, Shebuel was the chief.
17 Ilmaan Eliiʼezerii keessaa: Rehaabiyaa hangafa. Eleʼaazaar ilmaan biraa hin qabu ture; ilmaan Rehaabiyaa garuu akka malee hedduu turan.
And the sons of Eli'ezer were, Rechahyah the chief. And Eli'ezer had no other sons; but the sons of Rechahyah became exceedingly numerous.
18 Ilmaan Yizihaar keessaa: Sheloomiit hangafta.
Of the sons of Yizhar, was Shelomith the chief.
19 Ilmaan Kebroon; hangaftichi Yeriyaa, lammaffaan Amariyaa, sadaffaan Yahiziiʼeel, afuraffaan Yeqameʼaam.
The sons of Hebron: Jeriyahu the chief, Amaryah the second, Jachaziel the third, and Jekam'am the fourth.
20 Ilmaan Uziiʼeel: hangaftichi Miikaa, lammaffaan Yishiyaa.
The sons of 'Uzziel: Michah the chief, and Yishiyah the second.
21 Ilmaan Meraarii: Mahilii fi Muusii. Ilmaan Mahilii: Eleʼaazaarii fi Qiish.
The sons of Merari: Machli, and Mushi. The sons of Machli: El'azar, and Kish.
22 Eleʼaazaar utuu ilmaan hin dhalchin duʼe; inni intallan qofa qaba ture. Durbiiwwan isaanii ilmaan Qiishitu isaan fuudhe.
And El'azar died, and had no sons, but daughters; and the sons of Kish, their brethren, took them [for wives].
23 Ilmaan Muusii: Mahelii, Eederii fi Yereemooti; walumatti nama sadii turan.
The sons of Mushi: Machli, and 'Eder, and Jeremoth, three.
24 Isaan kunneen ilmaan Lewwii kanneen akkuma mana abbootii isaaniitti hangafoonni abbootii warri maqaa maqaadhaan galmeeffamanii tokko tokkoon lakkaaʼaman, hojjettoota umuriin isaanii waggaa digdamaa fi sanaa ol taʼe warra mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessa tajaajilanii dha.
These were the sons of Levi after their family divisions, even the chiefs of the families, as they were counted by numbering the names after their polls, that did the work for the service of the house of the Lord, from twenty years old and upward.
25 Daawit akkana jedhee tureetii; “Waaqayyoo Waaqni Israaʼel saba isaatiif boqonnaa kenneera; bara baraanis Yerusaalem keessa ni jiraata;
For David said, The Lord the God of Israel hath given rest unto his people, and he dwelleth in Jerusalem for evermore.
26 siʼachi Lewwonni dunkaana yookaan miʼoota achi keessatti itti fayyadaman hin baatan.”
And also the Levites are no more bound to carry the tabernacle, and all its vessels for the service thereof.
27 Akkuma qajeelcha Daawit dhuma irratti kenneetti, Lewwonni waggaa digdamaa fi sanaa olii hedamaniiruutii.
Therefore by the last words of David were there numbered of the Levites those who were from twenty years old and above;
28 Hojiin Lewwotaas tajaajila mana qulqullummaa Waaqaa keessatti sanyiiwwan Aroonii gargaaruu dha; kunis oobdiiwwanii fi kutaawwan mana qulqullummaa eeguu, miʼoota qulqulluu qulqulleessuu fi hojiiwwan biraas mana Waaqayyoo keessatti hojjechuu dha.
Because their station was to be at the side of the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of the Lord, in the courts, and in the chambers, and by the purification of all holy things, and the work of the service of the house of God;
29 Akkasumas buddeena minjaala irra kaaʼuu, daakuu kennaa midhaanii, buddeena utuu hin bukaaʼin tolfame, tolchuu fi waliin makuu, safartuu fi madaalii hunda irratti itti gaafatamtoota turan.
And for the shew-bread, which was put in rows, and for the fine flour for meat-offering, and for the unleavened cakes, and for that which is baked in the pan, and for that which is sodden, and for all manner of dry and wet measure;
30 Isaan guyyaa guyyaadhaan Waaqayyoon galateeffachuu fi jajachuuf ganama ganama fuula isaa dura ni dhaabatu; galgala galgalas akkasuma ni godhu;
And to stand every morning to thank and praise the Lord, and so also at evening,
31 yeroo aarsaan gubamu guyyaa Sanbataa Waaqayyoof dhiʼeeffamutti yeroo Ayyaana Baatii Haaraa fi gaafa ayyaana yeroon isaa murtaaʼe kamii iyyuu akkanuma ni godhu. Isaan yeroo hunda akkuma lakkoobsaa fi qajeelfama isaanii kennameetti fuula Waaqayyoo dura tajaajilu ture.
And at all the offering of burnt-offerings unto the Lord on the sabbaths, on the new moons, and on the appointed feasts, according to the number, and after the manner prescribed for them, continually before the Lord;
32 Lewwonni akkasiin itti gaafatama dunkaana wal gaʼii fi Iddoo Qulqulluu eeguuf qaban raawwatan; akkasumas ajaja obboloota isaanii sanyiiwwan Aroon jalatti itti gaafatamummaa mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessatti qaban raawwachaa turan.
And that they should keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren, in the service of the house of the Lord.
