1 Hii ndiyo migawanyo ya mabawabu: Kutoka kwa wana wa Kora alikuwa: Meshelemia mwana wa Kore, mmoja wa wana wa Asafu.

To the courses of the door-keepers, pertained, —of the Korahites, Meshelemiah son of Kore, of the sons of Asaph;

2 Meshelemia alikuwa na wana wafuatao: Zekaria mzaliwa wa kwanza, Yediaeli wa pili, Zebadia wa tatu, Yathnieli wa nne,

and, Meshelemiah, had sons, —Zechariah the firstborn, Jediael the second, Zebadiah the third, Jathniel the fourth;

3 Elamu wa tano Yehohanani wa sita na Eliehoenai wa saba.

4 Obed-Edomu naye alikuwa na wana wafuatao: Shemaya mzaliwa wa kwanza, Yehozabadi wa pili, Yoa wa tatu, Sakari wa nne, Nethaneli wa tano,

And, Obed-edom, had sons, —Shemaiah the firstborn, Jehozabad the second, Josh the third, and Sacar the fourth, and Nethanel the fifth;

5 Amieli wa sita, Isakari wa saba, na Peulethai wa nane. (Kwa kuwa Mungu alikuwa amembariki Obed-Edomu.)

Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, Peullethai, the eighth, —for God had blessed him.

6 Shemaya mwanawe pia alikuwa na wana, waliokuwa viongozi katika jamaa ya baba yao kwa sababu walikuwa watu wenye uwezo mkubwa.

And, to Shemaiah his son, were born sons, who bare rule to their ancestral house, —for, heroes of valour, were they.

7 Wana wa Shemaya ni: Othni, Refaeli, Obedi na Elizabadi; jamaa zake Elihu na Semakia walikuwa pia watu wenye uwezo.

the sons of Shemaiah, were Othni and Rephael, and Obed, Elzabad, whose brethren were sons of valour, —Elihu, and Semachiah.

8 Hawa wote walikuwa wazao wa Obed-Edomu; wao na wana wao na jamaa zao walikuwa watu wenye uwezo pamoja na nguvu za kufanya kazi. Wazao wa Obed-Edomu jumla yao walikuwa sitini na wawili.

All these, were of the sons of Obed-edom, they and their sons and their brethren, able men in strength for the service, —sixty-two, pertaining to Obed-edom.

9 Meshelemia alikuwa na wana na jamaa zake, waliokuwa watu wenye uwezo: jumla yao watu kumi na wanane.

And, Meshelemiah, had sons, and brethren, sons of valour, eighteen.

10 Hosa, Mmerari, alikuwa na wana wafuatao: Shimri alikuwa mkuu wao (baba yake alikuwa amemweka yeye kuwa mkuu ijapokuwa hakuwa mzaliwa wa kwanza),

And, Hosah of the sons of Merari, had sons, —Shimri the chief, for though he was not the firstborn, yet his father, made him, chief.

11 Hilkia wa pili, Tabalia wa tatu na Zekaria wa nne. Wana na jamaa za Hosa jumla yao walikuwa watu kumi na watatu.

Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third, Zechariah the fourth, —all the sons and brethren of Hosah, were thirteen.

12 Hii migawanyo ya mabawabu, kupitia wakuu wao, walikuwa na zamu za kuhudumu hekaluni mwa Bwana kama jamaa zao walivyokuwa nazo.

To these, belonged the courses of door-keepers, to the chiefs of the strong men, belonged charges, equally with their brethren, —to be in attendance in the house of Yahweh.

13 Kura zilipigwa kwa kila lango, kufuatana na jamaa zao, wakubwa kwa wadogo.

Yea they cast lots, as the small so the great, by their ancestral house, for every several gate.

14 Kura ya Lango la Mashariki ilimwangukia Shelemia. Kisha wakapiga kura kwa Zekaria mwanawe, aliyekuwa mshauri mwenye hekima, nayo kura ya Lango la Kaskazini ikamwangukia.

And the lot eastward fell to Shelemiah. And, for Zechariah his son, a discreet counsellor, they cast lots, and his lot came out, northward.

15 Kura ya Lango la Kusini ikamwangukia Obed-Edomu, nayo kura ya maghala ikawaangukia wanawe.

To Obed-edom, southward, —and, to his sons, the storehouse.

16 Kura za Lango la Magharibi na Lango la Shalekethi kwenye barabara ya juu zikawaangukia Shupimu na Hosa. Zamu za walinzi ziligawanywa kwa usawa:

To Shuppim and to Hosah, westward, near the refuse-gate, in the causeway that goeth up, —one ward as well as another.

17 Kulikuwa na Walawi sita kila siku upande wa mashariki, wanne upande wa kaskazini, wanne upande wa kusini, na wawili wawili kwa mara moja kwenye ghala.

Eastward—daily, were six, —northward—daily, four, southward—daily, four, and, for the stores, two and two.

18 Kuhusu ukumbi kuelekea magharibi, kulikuwa na wanne barabarani na wawili kwenye ukumbi wenyewe.

For the precinct—westward, four, at the causeway, two—by the precinct.

19 Hii ndiyo iliyokuwa migawanyo ya mabawabu waliokuwa wazao wa Kora na wa Merari.

These, were the courses of the door-keepers, of the sons of the Korahites, and of the sons of Merari.

20 Katika Walawi, Ahiya alikuwa mwangalizi wa hazina za nyumba ya Mungu na mwangalizi wa hazina za vitu vilivyowekwa wakfu.

And, the Levites, their brethren, were over the treasuries of the house of God, even to the treasuries of hallowed things.

21 Wazao wa Ladani, waliokuwa Wagershoni kupitia Ladani na waliokuwa viongozi wa jamaa za Ladani Mgershoni, walikuwa Yehieli,

The sons of Ladan—the sons of the Gershonites belonging to Ladan—the ancestral chiefs belonging to Ladan the Gershonite, were Jehieli;

22 wana wa Yehieli, wana wa Zethamu na wa nduguye Yoeli. Wao walikuwa waangalizi wa hazina za Hekalu la Bwana.

the sons of Jehieli, Zetham and Joel his brother who were over the treasuries of the house of Yahweh.

23 Kutoka kwa wana wa Amramu, wana wa Ishari, wana wa Hebroni na wana wa Uzieli:

Then came certain of the Amramites, of the Izharites, of the Hebronites, of the Uzzielites.

24 Shebueli, mzao wa Gershomu mwana wa Mose, alikuwa afisa mwangalizi wa hazina.

And, Shebuel, son of Gershom, son of Moses, was chief ruler over the treasuries.

25 Jamaa zake kutoka kwa Eliezeri, wanawe walikuwa: Rehabia, Yeshaya, Yoramu, Zikri na Shelomithi.

And, his brethren pertaining to Eliezer, were Rehabiah his son, and Jeshaiah his son, and Joram his son, and Zichri his son, and Shelomoth his son.

26 Shelomithi na jamaa zake walikuwa waangalizi wa hazina zote za vitu vile vilivyowekwa wakfu na Mfalme Daudi, kwa viongozi wa jamaa waliokuwa majemadari wa maelfu na majemadari wa mamia, na kwa maafisa wengine wa jeshi.

The same Shelomoth and his brethren, were over all the treasuries of the hallowed things, which David the king and the ancestral chiefs, with the captains of thousands and hundreds and the captains of the army, had hallowed:

27 Baadhi ya nyara zilizotekwa vitani waliziweka wakfu kwa ajili ya ukarabati wa Hekalu la Bwana.

out of the battles and out of the spoil, had they hallowed [them], —to strengthen [the provision] for the house of Yahweh.

28 Kila kitu kilichokuwa kimewekwa wakfu na Samweli mwonaji, na Sauli mwana wa Kishi, Abneri mwana wa Neri, na Yoabu mwana wa Seruya, pamoja na vitu vingine vyote vilivyokuwa vimewekwa wakfu, vyote vilikuwa chini ya uangalizi wa Shelomithi na jamaa zake.

And, all that Samuel the seer, and Saul son of Kish, and Abner son of Ner, and Joab son of Zeruiah, had hallowed, whosoever had hallowed anything, it was under the direction of Shelomoth, and his brethren.

29 Kutoka kwa wana wa Ishari: Kenania na wanawe walipewa kazi nje ya Hekalu kama maafisa na waamuzi juu ya Israeli.

Of the Izharites, Chenaniah and his sons, were for the outward business over Israel, —as officers, and as judges.

30 Kutoka kwa wana wa Hebroni: Hashabia na jamaa zake, watu 1,700 wenye uwezo, waliwajibika katika Israeli magharibi ya Yordani kwa ajili ya kazi zote za Bwana na utumishi wa mfalme.

Of the Hebronites, Hashabiah and his brethren, sons of valour, one thousand seven hundred, had the oversight of Israel, across the Jordan westward, —for all the business of Yahweh, and for the service of the king.

31 Kuhusu wana wa Hebroni, Yeria alikuwa mkuu wao kufuatana na orodha ya jamaa yao. Katika mwaka wa arobaini wa utawala wa Daudi uchunguzi ulifanyika katika kumbukumbu, nao watu wenye uwezo miongoni mwa wana wa Hebroni wakapatikana huko Yazeri katika Gileadi.

Of the Hebronites, Jerijah, was chief, [he was] of the Hebronites by his generations, by his fathers, —in the fortieth year of the reign of David, were they sought out, and there were found among them heroes of valour, in Jazer of Gilead;

32 Yeria alikuwa na jamaa ya watu 2,700 waliokuwa watu wenye uwezo na viongozi wa jamaa, naye Mfalme Daudi akawaweka kuangalia Wareubeni, Wagadi na nusu ya kabila Manase kuhusu kila jambo lililomhusu Mungu na shughuli za mfalme.

and, his brethren that were heroes of valour, were two thousand and seven hundred, ancestral chiefs, —so David the king gave them oversight, over the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half tribe of Manassites, in all the affairs of God, and the affairs of the king.
