1 Huu ulikuwa mgawanyiko wa walinzi wa lango: Kutoka kwa Wakora, Meshelemia mwana wa Kore, wa uzao wa Asafu.
For the courses of the gatekeepers: of the Korhites [is] Meshelemiah son of Kore, of the sons of Asaph;
2 Meshelemia alikuwa na wana wa kiume: Zekaria mzaliwa wa kwanza, Yediaeli wapili, Zebadia watatu, Yathinieli wanne,
and to Meshelemiah [are] sons, Zechariah the first-born, Jediael the second, Zebadiah the third, Jathniel the fourth,

4 Obedi alikuwa na wana wa kiume: Shemaia wa kwanza, Yehozabadi wapili, Yoa watatu, na Sakari wanne, na Nethanieli watano,
And to Obed-Edom [are] sons, Shemaiah the first-born, Jehozabad the second, Joah the third, and Sacar the fourth, and Nethaneel the fifth,
5 Amieli wasita, Isakari wasaba, Peulethai wanane, kwa kuwa Mungu alimbariki Obedi Edomu.
Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, Peullethai the eighth, for God hath blessed him.
6 Kwa Shemaia mwanae walizawa wana walio tawala familia zao; walikuwa wanaume wenye uwezo mbali mbali.
And to Shemaiah his son have sons been born, who are ruling throughout the house of their father, for they [are] mighty of valour.
7 Wana wa Shemaia walikuwa Othini, Refaeli, Obedi, na Elizabadi. Ndugu zake Elihu na Semakia walikuwa wanaume wenye uwezo mbali mbali.
Sons of Shemaiah [are] Othni, and Rephael, and Obed, Elzabad; his brethren [are] sons of valour, Elihu and Semachiah,
8 Hawa wote walikuwa uzao wa Obedi Edomu. Wao na wanao na ndugu zao walikuwa wanaume wenye uwezo wa kufanya wajibu wao katika huduma ya hema la kuabudia. Palikuwa na sitini na mbili walio kuwa na undugu na Obedi Edomu.
all these [are] of the sons of Obed-Edom; they, and their sons, and their brethren, men of valour with might for service, [are] sixty and two of Obed-Edom.
9 Meshelemia alikuwa na wana na ndugu, wanaume wenye uwezo, jumla ya kumi na nane.
And to Meshelemiah [are] sons and brethren, sons of valour, eighteen;
10 Hosa, mzao wa Merari, alikuwa na wana: Shimiri kiongozi (japo hakuwa mzaliwa wa kwanza, baba yake alimfanya kiongozi),
and to Hosah, of the sons of Merari, [are] sons: Shimri the head (though he was not first-born, yet his father setteth him for head),

12 Huu mgawanyiko wa walinzi wa lango, sambamba na viongozi, ulikuwa na majukumu, kama ndugu zao, kutumika katika nyumba ya Yahweh.
According to these [are] the courses of the gatekeepers; to the heads of the mighty ones [are] charges over-against their brethren, to minister in the house of Jehovah,
13 Walirusha kura, wadogo kwa wakubwa, kulingana na familia zao, kwa kila lango.
and they cause to fall lots, as well the small as the great, according to the house of their fathers, for gate and gate.
14 Kura ilipo rushwa kwa lango la mashariki, ilimuangukia Shelemia. Kisha wakarusha kura kwa Zekaria mwana wake, mshauri makini, na kura yake ikatokea lango la kaskazini.
And the lot falleth eastward to Shelemiah; and [for] Zechariah his son — a counsellor with understanding — they cause to fall lots, and his lot goeth out northward:
15 Kwa Obedi Edomu kulipangiwa lango la kusini, na wanae walipangiwa nyumba za ghala.
to Obed-Edom southward, and to his sons, the house of the gatherings;
16 Shufimu na Hosa walipangiwa lango la magharibi pamoja na lango la Shalekethi, kwa barabara ya juu. Lindo lilikabiidhiwa kwa kila familia.
to Shuppim and to Hosah to the west, with the gate Shallecheth, in the highway, the ascent, charge over-against charge;
17 Kwa mashariki walikuwa Walawi sita, kaskazini kwa siku moja, kusini kwa siku moja, na nyumba za ghala wawili.
to the east the Levites [are] six; to the north daily four, to the south daily four, and to the gatherings two by two,
18 Katika ua kuelekea magharibi wanne walipangwa, wanne barabarani, na wawili katika ua.
at Parbar, to the west, [are] four at the highway, two at Parbar.
19 Haya yalikuwa magawanyiko ya walinzi wa lango. Palijazwa na uzao wa Kora na Merari.
These are the courses of the gatekeepers, of the sons of the Korhite, and of the sons of Merari.
20 Miongoni mwa Walawi, Ahija alikuwa kiongozi wa hazina ya nyumba ya Mungu, na hazina ya vitu vya Yahweh.
And of the Levites, Ahijah [is] over the treasures of the house of God, even for the treasures of the holy things.
21 Wazao wa Ladani, walitoka kwa Gerishoni kupitia kwake na walio kuwa viongozi wa familia za Ladani Mgerishoni, walikuwa Yehieli na wanae,

And his brethren, of Eliezer, [are] Rehabiah his son, and Jeshaiah his son, and Joram his son, and Zichri his son, and Shelomith his son.
26 Shelomothi na ndugu zake walikuwa wasimamizi wa nyumba zote za ghala zinazo hifadhi vitu vyote vya Yahweh, ambavyo Daudi mfalme, viongozi wa familia, wakuu wa maelfu na mamia, na wakuu wa jeshi walivyo vitenga.
This Shelomith and his brethren [are] over all the treasures of the holy things, that David the king, and heads of the fathers, even heads of thousands, and of hundreds, and heads of the host, sanctified;
27 Walitenga vitu walivyo vichukuwa kwenye mapambano kwa ajili ya kutunza nyumba ya Yahweh.
from the battles, even from the spoil they sanctified to strengthen the house of Jehovah;
28 Pia walikuwa wahusika wa kila kitu kilicho tengwa kwa ajili ya Yahweh na Samweli nabii, Sauli mwana wa Kishi, Abneri mwana wa Neri, na Yoabu mwana wa Zeruia. Kila kitu kilicho tengwa kwa ajili ya Yahweh kilikuwa chini ya ulinzi wa shelomothi na ndugu zake.

Of the Hebronite, Jerijah [is] the head, of the Hebronite, according to his generations, for the fathers — in the fortieth year of the reign of David they have been sought out, and there are found among them mighty ones of valour, in Jazer of Gilead —
32 Yerija alikuwa na ndugu 2, 700, walio kuwa viongozi wenye uwezo katika familia. Daudi aliwafanya waangalizi wa makabila ya Rubeni na Gadi, na nusu kabila la Manase, kwa kila jambo linalo muhusu Mungu, na kwa mambo ya mfalme.
