1 Waisraeli wote waliorodheshwa katika koo zilizoandikwa kwenye kitabu cha wafalme wa Israeli. Watu wa Yuda walichukuliwa mateka kwenda Babeli kwa sababu ya kukosa uaminifu kwa Mungu.
And all Israel was numbered: and the sum of them was written in the book of the kings of Israel, and Juda: and they were carried away to Babylon for their transgression.
2 Basi watu wa kwanza kurudi kukaa kwenye milki zao katika miji yao walikuwa baadhi ya Waisraeli, makuhani, Walawi na watumishi wa Hekalu.
Now the first that dwelt in their possessions, and in their cities, were the Israelites, and the priests, and the Levites, and the Nathineans.

And their brethren by their families, nine hundred and fifty-six. All these were heads of their families, by the houses of their fathers.

13 Makuhani waliokuwa viongozi wa jamaa zao walikuwa 1,760. Walikuwa watu wenye uwezo, waliowajibika kuhudumu katika nyumba ya Mungu.
And their brethren heads in their families a thousand seven hundred and threescore, very strong and able men for the work of the ministry in the house of God.

17 Mabawabu katika Hekalu la Bwana waliorudi walikuwa: Shalumu, Akubu, Talmoni, Ahimani na ndugu zao. Shalumu alikuwa mlinzi wao mkuu.
And the porters were Sellum, and Accub, and Telmon, and Ahiman: and their brother Sellum was the prince,
18 Walikuwa wamewekwa katika lango la mfalme lililokuwa upande wa mashariki, mpaka wakati huu. Hawa walikuwa mabawabu wa kutoka kwenye kambi ya Walawi.
Until that time, in the king’s gate eastward, the sons of Levi waited by their turns.
19 Shalumu mwana wa Kore, mwana wa Ebiasafu, mwana wa Kora, pamoja na mabawabu wenzake kutoka jamaa yake ya Kora waliwajibika kulinda malango ya Hema, kama vile baba zao walivyokuwa wamewajibika kulinda ingilio la Maskani ya Bwana.
But Sellum the son of Core, the son of Abiasaph, the son of Core, with his brethren and his father’s house, the Corites were over the works of the service, keepers of the gates of the tabernacle: and their families in turns were keepers of the entrance of the camp of the Lord.
20 Hapo zamani Finehasi mwana wa Eleazari alikuwa kiongozi wa mabawabu, naye Bwana alikuwa pamoja naye:
And Phinees the son of Eleazar, was their prince before the Lord,
21 Zekaria mwana wa Meshelemia alikuwa bawabu katika ingilio la Hema la Kukutania.
And Zacharias the son of Mosollamia, was porter of the gate of the tabernacle of the testimony:
22 Jumla ya waliochaguliwa kuwa mabawabu katika sakafu za kupuria nafaka walikuwa watu 212. Waliandikishwa kwa koo zao kwenye vijiji vyao. Mabawabu hawa waliwekwa katika nafasi zao za kuaminiwa na Daudi pamoja na mwonaji Samweli.
All these that were chosen to be porters at the gates, were two hundred and twelve: and they mere registered in their proper towns: whom David and Samuel the seer appointed in their trust.
23 Wao na wazao wao walikuwa viongozi wa kulinda malango ya nyumba ya Bwana, nyumba iliyoitwa Hema.
As well them as their sons, to keep the gates of the house of the Lord, and the tabernacle by their turns.
24 Mabawabu walikuwa pande zote nne: mashariki, magharibi, kaskazini na kusini.
In four quarters were the porters: that is to say, toward the east, and west, and north, and south.
25 Ndugu zao katika vijiji vyao walikuwa wakija mara kwa mara na kuwasaidia katika kazi zao kwa vipindi mbalimbali vya siku saba.
And their brethren dwelt in villages, and came upon their sabbath days from time to time.
26 Lakini mabawabu wanne wakuu, waliokuwa Walawi, walikabidhiwa wajibu kwa ajili ya vyumba na hazina katika nyumba ya Mungu.
To these four Levites were committed the whole number of the porters, and they were over the chambers, and treasures, of the house of the Lord.
27 Walikesha mahali walipowekwa kuizunguka nyumba ya Mungu, kwa sababu iliwapasa kuilinda. Pia walitunza funguo kwa ajili ya kufungua mlango kila siku asubuhi.
And they abode in their watches round about the temple of the Lord: that when it was time, they might open the gates in the morning.
28 Baadhi yao walikuwa viongozi wa kutunza vifaa vilivyotumika katika huduma ndani ya Hekalu; walivihesabu kila vilipoingizwa ndani na kila vilipotolewa.
And some of their stock had the charge of the vessels for the ministry: for the vessels were both brought in and carried out by number.
29 Wengine walipangiwa kutunza mapambo na vifaa vingine vya patakatifu, pamoja na unga, divai, mafuta, uvumba na vikolezo.
Some of them also had the instruments of the sanctuary committed unto them, and the charge of the fine flour, and wine, and oil, and frankincense, and spices.
30 Lakini baadhi ya makuhani walifanya kazi ya kuchanganya vikolezo.
And the sons of the priests made the ointments of the spices.
31 Mlawi aliyeitwa Matithia, mwana mzaliwa wa kwanza wa Shalumu, wa ukoo wa Kora, alikabidhiwa wajibu kwa ajili ya kuoka mikate ya sadaka.
And Mathathias a Levite, the firstborn of Sellum the Corite, was overseer of such things as were fried in the fryingpan.
32 Baadhi ya ndugu zao wa ukoo wa Kohathi walikuwa viongozi wa kuandaa mikate ya Wonyesho kwa ajili ya kila Sabato, mikate iliyokuwa inawekwa mezani.
And some of the sons of Caath their brethren, were over the leaves of proposition, to prepare always new for every sabbath.
33 Wale waliokuwa waimbaji, viongozi wa jamaa za Walawi, waliishi katika vyumba vya Hekalu, nao hawakufanya shughuli nyingine yoyote kwa sababu iliwapasa kuwajibika kwa kazi hiyo usiku na mchana.
These are the chief of the singing men of the families of the Levites, who dwelt in the chambers, by the temple, that they might serve continually day and night in their ministry.
34 Hawa wote walikuwa viongozi wa jamaa za Walawi, wakuu kama walivyoorodheshwa katika koo zao, nao waliishi Yerusalemu.
The heads of the Levites, princes in their families, abode in Jerusalem.
35 Yeieli alikuwa baba yake Gibeoni naye aliishi huko Gibeoni. Mke wake aliitwa Maaka,
And in Gabaon dwelt Jehiel the father of Gabaon, and the name of hill wife was Maacha:
