1 Daawit erga waggaa hedduu jiraatee dulloomee booddee ilma isaa Solomoonin Israaʼel irratti mootii godhe.
And David is old, and satisfied with days, and causeth his son Solomon to reign over Israel,
2 Akkasumas Daawit dura buutota Israaʼel hunda, lubootaa fi Lewwota illee walitti qabe.
and gathereth all the heads of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites;
3 Lewwonni umuriin isaanii waggaa soddomaa fi hammasii olii ni lakkaaʼaman; baayʼinni dhiirotaa kuma soddomii saddeet taʼe.
and the Levites are numbered from a son of thirty years and upward, and their number, by their polls, is of mighty men 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 to preside over the work of the house of Jehovah [are] twenty and four thousand, and officers and judges six thousand,
5 Kumni afur eegdota balbalaa haa taʼan; kumni afur immoo miʼoota faarfannaa kanneen ani kaayyoo kanaaf kenneen Waaqayyoon haa galateeffatan.”
and four thousand gatekeepers, and four thousand giving praise to Jehovah, 'with instruments that I made for praising,' [saith David.]
