1 Chronicles 23
1 Nígbà tí Dafidi sì dàgbà, tí ó sì di arúgbó, ó sì fi Solomoni ọmọ rẹ̀ jẹ ọba lórí Israẹli.
Now David was old and full of days; and 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 leaders 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.
The Levites were numbered from thirty years old and upward: and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty-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.
David said, "Of these, twenty-four thousand were to oversee the work of the house of the LORD; 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.
four thousand were doorkeepers; and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I made, for giving praise."
6 Dafidi sì pín àwọn ọmọ Lefi sí ẹgbẹgbẹ́ láàrín àwọn ọmọ Lefi: Gerṣoni, Kohati àti Merari.
David divided them into divisions according to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
7 Àwọn tí ó jẹ́ ọmọ Gerṣoni: Laadani àti Ṣimei.
Of the Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei.
8 Àwọn ọmọ Laadani Jehieli ẹni àkọ́kọ́, Setamu àti Joẹli, mẹ́ta ní gbogbo wọn.
The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the chief, 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: Shelomoth, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the heads of the ancestral houses of Ladan.
10 Àti ọmọ Ṣimei: Jahati, Sina, Jeuṣi àti Beriah. Àwọn wọ̀nyí ni ọmọ Ṣimei mẹ́rin ni gbogbo wọn.
The sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zizah, 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.
Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second: but Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons; therefore they became a fathers' house in one reckoning.
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, forever, to burn incense before the LORD, to minister to him, and to bless in his name, forever.
14 Àwọn ọmọ Mose ènìyàn Ọlọ́run ni wọ́n kà gẹ́gẹ́ bí apá kan ẹ̀yà Lefi.
But as for Moses the man of God, his sons were named among the tribe of Levi.
15 Àwọn ọmọ Mose: Gerṣomu àti Elieseri.
The sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.
16 Àwọn ọmọ Gerṣomu: Ṣubaeli sì ni alákọ́kọ́.
The sons of Gershom: Shubael 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.
The sons of Eliezer were: Rehabiah the chief; and Eliezer had no other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.
18 Àwọn ọmọ Isari: Ṣelomiti sì ni ẹni àkọ́kọ́.
The sons of Izhar: Shelomoth the chief.
19 Àwọn ọmọ Hebroni: Jeriah sì ni ẹni àkọ́kọ́, Amariah sì ni ẹni ẹ̀ẹ̀kejì, Jahasieli sì ni ẹ̀ẹ̀kẹ́ta àti Jekameamu ẹ̀ẹ̀kẹrin.
The sons of Hebron: Jeriah the chief, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
20 Àwọn ọmọ Usieli: Mika ni àkọ́kọ́ àti Iṣiah ẹ̀ẹ̀kejì.
The sons of Uzziel: Micah the chief, and Isshiah 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.
Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters only: and their brothers the sons of Kish took them as wives.
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 their fathers' houses, even the heads of ancestral houses of those who were counted individually, in the number of names by their polls, who do the work for the service of the house of the LORD, from twenty years old 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, "The LORD, the God of Israel, has given rest to his people; and he dwells in Jerusalem forever.
26 àwọn ọmọ Lefi kò sì tún ru àgọ́ tàbí ọ̀kankan lára àwọn ohun èlò tí wọ́n ń lò níbi ìsìn rẹ̀.”
Also the Levites will no longer need to carry the tabernacle and all its vessels for its service."
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 sons of Levi were numbered, from twenty years old and upward.
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.
For their office was to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of the LORD, in the courts, and in the rooms, and in the purifying of all holy things, even the work of the service of God's house,
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.
involving the show bread, the fine flour for a meal offering, whether of unleavened wafers, or of that which is baked in the pan, or of that which is soaked, and for all kinds 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 the LORD, and likewise in the evening;
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 offerings to the LORD, on the Sabbaths, on the new moons, and on the set feasts, in number according to the ordinance concerning them, continually before the LORD;
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 duty of the Tent of Meeting, and the duty of the holy place, and the duty of the sons of Aaron their brothers, for the service of the house of the LORD.
