1 Chronicles 23
1 Nígbà tí Dafidi sì dàgbà, tí ó sì di arúgbó, ó sì fi Solomoni ọmọ rẹ̀ jẹ ọba lórí Israẹli.
So when David was old and full of days, he made Solomon his son king over Israel.
2 Ó sì kó gbogbo àgbàgbà Israẹli jọ, àti gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn àlùfáà àti àwọn ará Lefi.
And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.
3 Àwọn ọmọ Lefi láti ọgbọ̀n ọdún tàbí jù bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ ni wọ́n kà àpapọ̀ iye àwọn ọkùnrin wọn sì jẹ́ ẹgbàá mọ́kàndínlógún.
Now the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty years and upward: and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty and eight thousand.
4 Dafidi sì wí pe, ní ti èyí, ẹgbàá méjìlá ni kí wọn jẹ́ alábojútó iṣẹ́ ilé fún Olúwa àti ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́fà ni kí ó ṣe olórí àti onídàájọ́.
Of which, twenty and four thousand were to set forward the work of the house of Yhwh; and six thousand were officers and judges:
5 Ẹgbàajì ni kí ó jẹ́ olùtọ́jú ẹnu-ọ̀nà àti ẹgbàajì ni kí o sì jẹ́ ẹni ti yóò máa yin Olúwa pẹ̀lú ohun èlò orin, mo ti ṣe èyí fún ìdí pàtàkì yìí.
Moreover four thousand were porters; and four thousand praised Yhwh with the instruments which I made, said David, to praise therewith.
6 Dafidi sì pín àwọn ọmọ Lefi sí ẹgbẹgbẹ́ láàrín àwọn ọmọ Lefi: Gerṣoni, Kohati àti Merari.
And David divided them into courses among the sons of Levi, namely, Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
7 Àwọn tí ó jẹ́ ọmọ Gerṣoni: Laadani àti Ṣimei.
Of the Gershonites were, Laadan, and Shimei.
8 Àwọn ọmọ Laadani Jehieli ẹni àkọ́kọ́, Setamu àti Joẹli, mẹ́ta ní gbogbo wọn.
The sons of Laadan; the chief was Jehiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three.
9 Àwọn ọmọ Ṣimei: Ṣelomiti, Hasieli àti Harani mẹ́ta ní gbogbo wọn. Àwọn wọ̀nyí sì ni olórí àwọn ìdílé Laadani.
The sons of Shimei; Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the chief of the fathers of Laadan.
10 Àti ọmọ Ṣimei: Jahati, Sina, Jeuṣi àti Beriah. Àwọn wọ̀nyí ni ọmọ Ṣimei mẹ́rin ni gbogbo wọn.
And the sons of Shimei were, Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.
11 Jahati sì ni alákọ́kọ́ Sinah sì ni ẹlẹ́ẹ̀kejì, ṣùgbọ́n Jeuṣi àti Beriah kò ní àwọn ọmọ púpọ̀; bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n sì ka ara wọn sí ìdílé kan pẹ̀lú ìfilé lọ́wọ́ kan.
And Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second: but Jeush and Beriah had not many sons; therefore they were in one reckoning, according to their father’s house.
12 Àwọn ọmọ Kohati: Amramu, Isari, Hebroni àti Usieli mẹ́rin ni gbogbo wọn.
The sons of Kohath; Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.
13 Àwọn ọmọ Amramu. Aaroni àti Mose. A sì ya Aaroni sọ́tọ̀ òun àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ títí láéláé, láti kọjú sí ohun mímọ́ jùlọ, láti fi rú ẹbọ sísun níwájú Olúwa, láti máa ṣe òjíṣẹ́ níwájú rẹ̀ àti láti kéde ìbùkún ní orúkọ rẹ̀ títí láéláé.
The sons of Amram; Aaron and Moses: and Aaron was separated, that he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons for ever, to burn incense before Yhwh, to minister unto him, and to bless in his name for ever.
14 Àwọn ọmọ Mose ènìyàn Ọlọ́run ni wọ́n kà gẹ́gẹ́ bí apá kan ẹ̀yà Lefi.
Now concerning Moses the man of God, his sons were named of the tribe of Levi.
15 Àwọn ọmọ Mose: Gerṣomu àti Elieseri.
The sons of Moses were, Gershom, and Eliezer.
16 Àwọn ọmọ Gerṣomu: Ṣubaeli sì ni alákọ́kọ́.
Of the sons of Gershom, Shebuel was the chief.
17 Àwọn ọmọ Elieseri: Rehabiah sì ni ẹni àkọ́kọ́. Elieseri kò sì tún ní ọmọ mìíràn, ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ọmọ Rehabiah wọ́n sì pọ̀ níye.
And the sons of Eliezer were, Rehabiah the chief. And Eliezer had none other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.
18 Àwọn ọmọ Isari: Ṣelomiti sì ni ẹni àkọ́kọ́.

Of the sons of Uzziel; Michah the first, and Jesiah the second.
21 Àwọn ọmọ Merari: Mahili àti Muṣi. Àwọn ọmọ Mahili: Eleasari àti Kiṣi.
The sons of Merari; Mahli, and Mushi. The sons of Mahli; Eleazar, and Kish.
22 Eleasari sì kú pẹ̀lú àìní àwọn ọmọkùnrin: Ó ní ọmọbìnrin nìkan. Àwọn ọmọ ẹ̀gbọ́n, àwọn ọmọ Kiṣi, sì fẹ́ wọn.
And Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters: and their brethren the sons of Kish took them.
23 Àwọn ọmọ Muṣi: Mahili, Ederi àti Jerimoti mẹ́ta ni gbogbo wọn.
The sons of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three.
24 Àwọn wọ̀nyí sì ni ọmọ Lefi bí ìdílé wọn. Olórí ìdílé gẹ́gẹ́ bí wọ́n ti fi orúkọ sílẹ̀ lábẹ́ orúkọ wọn, ó sì kà wọn ní ẹyọ kọ̀ọ̀kan, wí pé, àwọn òṣìṣẹ́ tí ó jẹ́ ogún ọdún tàbí jù bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ tí ń ṣiṣẹ́ ìsìn nínú ilé Olúwa.
These were the sons of Levi after the house of their fathers; even the chief of the fathers, as they were counted by number of names by their polls, that did the work for the service of the house of Yhwh, from the age of twenty years and upward.
25 Nítorí pé Dafidi ti sọ pé, “Níwọ̀n ìgbà tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli, ti fi ìsinmi fún àwọn ènìyàn tí ó kù tí sì ń gbé Jerusalẹmu títí láéláé,
For David said, Yhwh God of Israel hath given rest unto his people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem for ever:
26 àwọn ọmọ Lefi kò sì tún ru àgọ́ tàbí ọ̀kankan lára àwọn ohun èlò tí wọ́n ń lò níbi ìsìn rẹ̀.”
And also unto the Levites; they shall no more carry the tabernacle, nor any vessels of it for the service thereof.
27 Gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀rọ̀ ìkẹyìn Dafidi sí, àwọn ọmọ Lefi, wọ́n sì kà wọ́n, bẹ̀rẹ̀ láti orí àwọn ọmọ ogún ọdún tàbí jù bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ.
For by the last words of David the Levites were numbered from twenty years old and above:
28 Iṣẹ́ àwọn ọmọ Lefi ni láti ran àwọn ọmọ Aaroni lọ́wọ́ nínú iṣẹ́ wọn fún ti ilé Olúwa: láti wà lábẹ́ ìkáwọ́ agbára ìlú, àti ẹ̀gbẹ́ ilé, àti ìwẹ̀nùmọ́ ti gbogbo ohun ìyàsọ́tọ̀ àti ṣíṣe ohun tí í ṣe iṣẹ́ ìsìn nínú ilé Olúwa.
Because their office was to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of Yhwh, in the courts, and in the chambers, and in the purifying of all holy things, and the work of the service of the house of God;
29 Wọ́n sì wà ní ìkáwọ́ àkàrà tí wọ́n mú jáde láti orí tábìlì, àti ìyẹ̀fun fún ẹbọ, àti àkàrà aláìwú, àti fún púpọ̀ àti èyí tí a pòpọ̀, àti gbogbo onírúurú ìwọ̀n àti wíwọ̀n àti òsùwọ̀n.
Both for the shewbread, and for the fine flour for grain offering, and for the unleavened cakes, and for that which is baked in the pan, and for that which is fried, and for all manner of measure and size;
30 Wọ́n sì gbọdọ̀ dúró ní gbogbo òwúrọ̀ láti dúpẹ́ àti láti yin Olúwa. Wọ́n sì gbọdọ̀ ṣe irú kan náà ní àṣálẹ́.
And to stand every morning to thank and praise Yhwh, and likewise at even;
31 Àti láti rú ẹbọ sísun fún Olúwa ní ọjọ́ ìsinmi àti ní àsìkò oṣù tuntun àti ní àjọ̀dún tí a yàn. Wọ́n gbọdọ̀ sìn níwájú Olúwa lójoojúmọ́ ní iye tó yẹ àti ní ọ̀nà tí a ti pàṣẹ fún wọn.
And to offer all burnt sacrifices unto Yhwh in the sabbaths, in the new moons, and on the set feasts, by number, according to the order commanded unto them, continually before Yhwh:
32 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni nígbà náà, àwọn ọmọ Lefi gbé ìgbékalẹ̀ jáde fún ìpàdé àgọ́, fún Ibi Mímọ́ àti, lábẹ́ àwọn arákùnrin àwọn ọmọ Aaroni fún ìsìn ilé Olúwa.
And that they should keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the holy place, and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren, in the service of the house of Yhwh.
