1 Seenaa 23
1 Daawit erga waggaa hedduu jiraatee dulloomee booddee ilma isaa Solomoonin Israaʼel irratti mootii godhe.
Now David was old and full of days; and he made Solomon his son king over Israel.
2 Akkasumas Daawit dura buutota Israaʼel hunda, lubootaa fi Lewwota illee walitti qabe.
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.
The Levites were counted from thirty years old and upward; and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty-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.
David said, “Of these, twenty-four thousand were to oversee the work of the LORD’s house, 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.”
four thousand were doorkeepers, and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I made for giving praise.”
6 Daawitis Lewwota akkuma gosoota Lewwiitti garee gareen gargar ni qoode; isaanis: Geershoon, Qohaatii fi Meraarii.
David divided them into divisions according to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
7 Gosa Geershoon keessaa: Laʼadaanii fi Shimeʼii.
Of the Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei.
8 Ilmaan Laʼadaanii: Yehiiʼeel hangafticha, Zeetaamii fi Yooʼeel; walumatti nama sadii turan.
The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the chief, Zetham, and Joel, three.
9 Ilmaan Shimeʼii: Sheloomot, Haziiʼeelii fi Haaraan; walumatti nama sadii turan. Isaan kunneen hangafoota Maatii Laʼadaan turan.
The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the heads of the fathers’ households of Ladan.
10 Ilmaan Shimeʼii: Yahaati, Ziinaa, Yeʼuushii fi Beriiyaa. Isaan kunneen ilmaan Shimeʼii ti; walumatti nama afur turan.
The sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.
11 Yahaati hangafa; Ziinaan lammaffaa; Yeʼuushii fi Beriiyaan garuu ilmaan baayʼee hin qaban; kanaafuu isaan akkuma maatii tokkootti lakkaaʼaman.
Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second; but Jeush and Beriah didn’t have many sons; therefore they became a fathers’ house in one reckoning.
12 Ilmaan Qohaatii: Amraam, Yizihaar, Kebroonii fi Uziiʼeel; walumatti nama afur turan.
The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, 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 separated that he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons forever, to burn incense before the LORD, to minister to him, and to bless in his name forever.
14 Ilmaan Musee nama Waaqaa immoo gosa Lewwiitti dabalamanii lakkaaʼaman.
But as for Moses the man of God, his sons were named amongst the tribe of Levi.
15 Ilmaan Musee: Geershoomii fi Eliiʼezer.
The sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.
16 Ilmaan Geershoomii: Shebuuʼeel hangafa.
The sons of Gershom: Shebuel the chief.
17 Ilmaan Eliiʼezerii keessaa: Rehaabiyaa hangafa. Eleʼaazaar ilmaan biraa hin qabu ture; ilmaan Rehaabiyaa garuu akka malee hedduu turan.
The son of Eliezer was Rehabiah the chief; and Eliezer had no other sons, but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.
18 Ilmaan Yizihaar keessaa: Sheloomiit hangafta.
The son of Izhar: Shelomith the chief.
19 Ilmaan Kebroon; hangaftichi Yeriyaa, lammaffaan Amariyaa, sadaffaan Yahiziiʼeel, afuraffaan Yeqameʼaam.
The sons of Hebron: Jeriah the chief, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
20 Ilmaan Uziiʼeel: hangaftichi Miikaa, lammaffaan Yishiyaa.
The sons of Uzziel: Micah the chief, and Isshiah the second.
21 Ilmaan Meraarii: Mahilii fi Muusii. Ilmaan Mahilii: Eleʼaazaarii fi Qiish.
The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.
22 Eleʼaazaar utuu ilmaan hin dhalchin duʼe; inni intallan qofa qaba ture. Durbiiwwan isaanii ilmaan Qiishitu isaan fuudhe.
Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters only; and their relatives, the sons of Kish, took them as wives.
23 Ilmaan Muusii: Mahelii, Eederii fi Yereemooti; walumatti nama sadii turan.
The sons of Mushi: Mahli, 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 fathers’ houses, even the heads of the fathers’ houses of those who were counted individually, in the number of names by their polls, who did the work for the service of the LORD’s house, 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, has given rest to his people; and he dwells in Jerusalem forever.
26 siʼachi Lewwonni dunkaana yookaan miʼoota achi keessatti itti fayyadaman hin baatan.”
Also the Levites will no longer need to carry the tabernacle and all its vessels for its service.”
27 Akkuma qajeelcha Daawit dhuma irratti kenneetti, Lewwonni waggaa digdamaa fi sanaa olii hedamaniiruutii.
For by the last words of David the sons of Levi were counted, from twenty years old and upward.
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.
For their duty was to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of the LORD’s house—in the courts, in the rooms, and in the purifying of all holy things, even the work of the service of God’s house;
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.
for the show bread also, and for the fine flour for a meal offering, whether of unleavened wafers, or of that which is baked in the pan, or of that which is soaked, and for all measurements of quantity and size;
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 likewise in the 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 to offer all burnt offerings to the LORD on the Sabbaths, on the new moons, and on the set feasts, in number according to the ordinance concerning 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 duty of the Tent of Meeting, the duty of the holy place, and the duty of the sons of Aaron their brothers for the service of the LORD’s house.
