Taariikhdii Kowaad 23
1 Haddaba Daa'uud wuu gaboobay, wuuna da' weynaa, markaasuu reer binu Israa'iil boqor uga dhigay wiilkiisii Sulaymaan.
When David was old and full of years, he installed his son Solomon as king over Israel.
2 Oo wuxuu soo wada ururiyey amiirradii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan, iyo wadaaddadii iyo kuwii reer Laawiba.
Then he gathered all the leaders of Israel, as well as the priests and Levites.
3 Markaasaa la tiriyey reer Laawi intoodii soddon sannadood jirtay ama ka sii weynayd, oo markii nin nin loo tiriyey, dhammaantood tiradoodii waxay noqotay siddeed iyo soddon kun oo nin.
The Levites thirty years of age or older were counted, and the total number of men was 38,000.
4 Oo kuwaas afar iyo labaatan kun oo ka mid ahu waxay ahaayeen kuwo ilaaliya hawsha guriga Rabbiga, oo lix kunna waxay ahaayeen saraakiil iyo xaakinno,
“Of these,” said David, “24,000 are to oversee the work of the house of the LORD, 6,000 are to be officers and judges,
5 oo afar kunna waxay ahaayeen iridjoogayaal, oo afar kunna waxay Rabbiga ku ammaani jireen alaabtii aan u sameeyey in isaga lagu ammaano ayuu Daa'uud yidhi.
4,000 are to be gatekeepers, and 4,000 are to praise the LORD with the instruments I have made for giving praise.”
6 Oo Daa'uud wuxuu iyagii u kala qaybiyey koox koox sidii ay ahaayeen wiilashii Laawi, kuwaas oo ahaa: Gershoon, iyo Qohaad, iyo Meraarii.
Then David divided the Levites into divisions according to the sons of Levi: Gershom, Kohath, and Merari.
7 Reer Gershoon waxaa ahaa Lacdaan iyo Shimcii.
The Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei.
8 Wiilashii Lacdaan waxay ahaayeen saddex, waana Yexii'eel oo madax ahaa, iyo Seetaam, iyo Yoo'eel.
The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the first, Zetham, and Joel—three in all.
9 Wiilashii Shimciina waxay ahaayeen saddex, waana Shelomood, iyo Xasii'eel, iyo Xaaraan, kuwaasu waxay ahaayeen madaxdii qolooyinkii reer Lacdaan.
The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran—three in all. These were the heads of the families of Ladan.
10 Oo waxaa wiilashii Shimcii ahaa Yaaxad, iyo Siinaa, iyo Yecuush, iyo Beriicaah. Afartaasuba waxay ahaayeen wiilashii Shimcii.
And the sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, Jeush, and Beriah. These were the sons of Shimei—four in all.
11 Oo waxaa madax ahaa Yaaxad, Siisaahna wuxuu ahaa kii labaad, laakiinse Yecuush iyo Beriicaah wiilal badan ma ay lahayn, oo sidaas daraaddeed iyaga waxaa loo tiriyey isku reer.
Jahath was the first and Zizah was the second; but Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, so they were counted as one family and received a single assignment.
12 Wiilashii Qohaadna waxay ahaayeen afar, waana Camraam, iyo Isehaar, iyo Xebroon iyo Cusii'eel.
The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel—four in all.
13 Wiilashii Camraamna waxay ahaayeen Haaruun iyo Muuse, oo Haaruun waxaa gooni looga dhigay inay isagii iyo wiilashiisuba weligood quduus ka dhigaan waxyaalaha ugu wada quduusan iyo inay Rabbiga hortiisa foox ku shidaan, oo ay u adeegaan oo ay weligoodba magiciisa ku duceeyaan.
The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses. Aaron and his descendants were set apart forever to consecrate the most holy things, to burn incense before the LORD, to minister before Him, and to pronounce blessings in His name forever.
14 Laakiinse Muuse oo ahaa nin Ilaah wiilashiisii waxaa lagu tiriyey qabiilka reer Laawi.
As for Moses the man of God, his sons were named among the tribe of Levi.
15 Wiilashii Muusena waxay ahaayeen Gershoom iyo Eliiceser.
The sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.
16 Ina Gershoomna wuxuu ahaa Shebuu'eel oo madax ahaa.
The descendants of Gershom: Shebuel was the first.
17 Ina Eliiceserna wuxuu ahaa Rexabyaah oo madax ahaa. Oo Eliiceser innaba wiilal kale ma lahayn, laakiinse Rexabyaah wiilashiisu aad bay u badnaayeen.
The descendants of Eliezer: Rehabiah was the first. Eliezer did not have any other sons, but the sons of Rehabiah were very numerous.
18 Ina Isehaarna wuxuu ahaa Shelomiid oo madax ahaa.
The sons of Izhar: Shelomith was the first.
19 Wiilashii Xebroonna waxay ahaayeen Yeriyaah oo madax ahaa, iyo Amaryaah oo ahaa kii labaad, iyo Yaxasii'eel oo ahaa kii saddexaad, iyo Yeqamcaam oo ahaa kii afraad.
The sons of Hebron: Jeriah was the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
20 Wiilashii Cusii'eelna waxay ahaayeen Miikaah oo madax ahaa, iyo Yishiyaah oo ahaa kii labaad.
The sons of Uzziel: Micah was the first and Isshiah the second.
21 Wiilashii Meraariina waxay ahaayeen Maxlii iyo Mushii. Wiilashii Maxliina waxay ahaayeen Elecaasaar iyo Qiish.
The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.
22 Oo Elecaasaarna wuxuu dhintay isagoo gabdho keliya mooyaane aan wiilal lahayn, oo waxaa gabdhihiisii guursaday reer Qiish oo ahaa ilma-adeerradood.
Eleazar died without having any sons; he had only daughters. Their cousins, the sons of Kish, married them.
23 Wiilashii Mushiina waxay ahaayeen saddex, waana Maxlii iyo Ceeder iyo Yereemood.
The sons of Mushi: Mahli, Eder, and Jeremoth —three in all.
24 Kuwaasu waxay ahaayeen reer Laawi sidii qolooyinkoodu kala ahaayeen, waana kuwii ahaa madaxdii reeraha kuwii la tiriyey, oo magacyadooda nin nin loo tiriyey, kuwaasoo samayn jiray shuqulkii hawsha guriga Rabbiga, waana intii labaatan sannadood jirtay ama ka sii weynayd.
These were the descendants of Levi by their families—the heads of families, registered individually by name—those twenty years of age or older who worked in the service of the house of the LORD.
25 Waayo, Daa'uud wuxuu yidhi, Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil dadkiisuu nasiyey, oo weligiis wuxuu deggan yahay Yeruusaalem.
For David had said, “The LORD, the God of Israel, has given rest to His people and has come to dwell in Jerusalem forever.
26 Weliba reer Laawina mar dambe uma baahan doonaan inay qaadaan taambuugga iyo weelashiisa lagaga adeego oo dhan.
So now the Levites no longer need to carry the tabernacle or any of the articles for its service.”
27 Oo Daa'uud dardaarankiisii ayaa reer Laawi lagu tiriyey, intoodii labaatan sannadood jirtay ama ka sii weynayd.
For according to the final instructions of David, the Levites twenty years of age or older were counted,
28 Waayo, shuqulkoodu wuxuu ahaa inay reer Haaruun amarkooda ku adeegaan oo ay qabtaan hawshii guriga Rabbiga, iyo inay ka adeegaan barxadaha iyo qowladaha, iyo inay daahiriyaan waxyaalaha quduuska ah oo dhan, kaasu wuxuu ahaa shuqulka hawsha guriga Rabbiga.
but their duty was to assist the descendants of Aaron with the service of the house of the LORD, being responsible for the courts and chambers, the purification of all the holy things, and the work of the service of the house of God,
29 Oo weliba waxay kala hagaajin jireen kibistii tusniinta iyo burkii laga dhigi jiray qurbaan jidhiidh ah, hadduu ahaa kibis aan khamiir lahayn ama tii digsiga lagu dubi jiray, amase tii la qoyn jiray, iyo cayn kasta oo ah qiyaas iyo miisaan,
as well as for the rows of the showbread, the fine flour for the grain offering, the wafers of unleavened bread, the baking, the mixing, and all measurements of quantity and size.
30 iyo inay subax kasta u istaagaan inay Rabbiga ku mahadnaqaan oo ammaanaan, oo haddana habeenkiina saasoo kalay yeeli jireen.
They were also to stand every morning to give thanks and praise to the LORD, and likewise in the evening.
31 Oo haddana waxay had iyo goor Rabbiga hortiisa ku bixin jireen qurbaanno la gubo oo dhan, waxayna bixin jireen sabtiyada, iyo markay bilaha cusubu dhashaan, iyo iidaha, waxayna u bixin jireen si waafaqsan tiradoodii qaynuunka ku qornayd,
Whenever burnt offerings were presented to the LORD on the Sabbaths, New Moons, and appointed feasts, they were to serve regularly before the LORD in the numbers prescribed for them.
32 wayna ilaalin jireen teendhada shirka, iyo meesha quduuska ah, iyo reer Haaruun oo iyaga walaalahood ah, oo saasay uga adeegi jireen guriga Rabbiga.
So the Levites were to carry out the responsibilities for the Tent of Meeting and the Holy Place, and, under their brothers the descendants of Aaron, the service of the house of the LORD.
