Inhabitants of Jerusalem
1 So all Israel were reckoned by genealogies; and, behold, they were written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah, who were carried away to Babylon for their transgression.
Hivyo Israeli wote walihesabiwa kwa nasaba; na tazama, hizo zimeandikwa katika kitabu cha wafalme wa Israeli; na Yuda wakachukuliwa mateka mpaka Babeli, kwa sababu ya makosa yao.
2 Now the first inhabitants that dwelt in their possessions in their cities were , the Israelites, the priests, Levites, and the Nethinims.
Basi wenyeji wa kwanza waliokaa katika hozi zao katika miji yao walikuwa Israeli, na makuhani, na Walawi, na Wanethini.

17 And the porters were , Shallum, and Akkub, and Talmon, and Ahiman, and their brethren: Shallum was the chief;
Na katika mabawabu; Shalumu, na Akubu, na Talmoni, na Ahimani, na ndugu zao; naye Shalumu alikuwa mkuu wao;
18 who hitherto waited in the king's gate eastward: they were porters in the companies of the children of Levi.
ambao tangu hapo walikuwa wakingojea penye lango la mfalme upande wa mashariki; hao ndio waliokuwa wangojezi wa rago la wana wa Lawi.
19 And Shallum the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his brethren, of the house of his father, the Korahites, were over the work of the service, keepers of the gates of the tabernacle: and their fathers, being over the host of the LORD, were keepers of the entry.
Naye Shalumu, mwana wa Kore, mwana wa Ebiasafu, mwana wa Kora; pamoja na nduguze wa mbari ya babaye, Wakora; walikuwa wakiisimamia kazi hiyo ya huduma, wenye ungojezi wa malango ya maskani; na baba zao walikuwa wamesimamia matuo ya Bwana, wakiyalinda maingilio;
20 And Phinehas the son of Eleazar was the ruler over them in time past, and the LORD was with him.
naye Finehasi, mwana wa Eleazari, alikuwa mkuu wao hapo zamani, naye Bwana alikuwa pamoja naye.
21 And Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was porter of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
Zekaria, mwana wa Meshelemia, alikuwa bawabu mlangoni pa ile hema ya kukutania.
22 All these which were chosen to be porters in the gates were two hundred and twelve. These were reckoned by their genealogy in their villages, whom David and Samuel the seer did ordain in their set office.
Hao wote waliochaguliwa kuwa wangojezi wa malango walikuwa watu mia mbili na kumi na wawili. Nao wakahesabiwa kwa nasaba katika vijiji vyao, ambao Daudi na Samweli, huyo mwonaji, walikuwa wamewaweka katika kazi yao waliyoamaniwa.
23 So they and their children had the oversight of the gates of the house of the LORD, namely , the house of the tabernacle, by wards.
Basi watu hao na wana wao walikuwa na usimamizi wa malango ya nyumba ya Bwana, yaani, nyumba ya maskani, kwa zamu.
24 In four quarters were the porters, toward the east, west, north, and south.
Hao wangojezi walikuwapo pande zote nne, kuelekea mashariki, na magharibi, na kaskazini, na kusini.
25 And their brethren, which were in their villages, were to come after seven days from time to time with them.
Na ndugu zao, katika vijiji vyao, wakaamaniwa kuingia kila siku ya saba, zamu kwa zamu, ili kuwa pamoja nao;
26 For these Levites, the four chief porters, were in their set office, and were over the chambers and treasuries of the house of God.
kwa maana wale wangojezi wanne, waliokuwa wakuu, nao ni Walawi, walikuwa na kazi ya kuamaniwa, tena walikuwa juu ya vyumba na juu ya hazina katika nyumba ya Mungu.
27 And they lodged round about the house of God, because the charge was upon them, and the opening thereof every morning pertained to them.
Nao wakalala kandokando nyumbani mwa Mungu, kwa kuwa ulinzi wake ulikuwa juu yao, nayo ilikuwa kazi yao kuyafungua malango asubuhi baada ya asubuhi.
28 And certain of them had the charge of the ministering vessels, that they should bring them in and out by tale.
Na baadhi yao walikuwa na ulinzi wa vyombo vya huduma; kwani huingizwa kwa hesabu, na kutolewa kwa hesabu vile vile.
29 Some of them also were appointed to oversee the vessels, and all the instruments of the sanctuary, and the fine flour, and the wine, and the oil, and the frankincense, and the spices.
Na baadhi yao waliamaniwa kuviangalia vyombo vya nyumbani, na vyombo vyote vya Patakatifu; na kuwa juu ya unga safi, na divai, na mafuta, na ubani, na manukato.
30 And some of the sons of the priests made the ointment of the spices.
Na baadhi ya wana wa makuhani waliweka tayari machanganyiko ya manukato.
31 And Mattithiah, one of the Levites, who was the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite, had the set office over the things that were made in the pans.
Naye Matithia, Mlawi mmojawapo, aliyekuwa mzaliwa wa kwanza wa Shalumu, Mkora, aliamaniwa kazi ya kuviangalia vitu vile vilivyookwa kaangoni.
32 And other of their brethren, of the sons of the Kohathites, were over the shewbread, to prepare it every sabbath.
Na baadhi ya ndugu zao, wa wana wa Wakohathi, walikuwa juu ya mikate ile ya Wonyesho, ili kuiandaa kila sabato.
33 And these are the singers, chief of the fathers of the Levites, who remaining in the chambers were free: for they were employed in that work day and night.
Tena hawa ndio waimbaji, wakuu wa mbari za baba zao katika Walawi, ambao walikaa vyumbani, kisha walikuwa hawana kazi nyingine; kwa kuwa walitumika katika kazi yao mchana na usiku.
34 These chief fathers of the Levites were chief throughout their generations; these dwelt at Jerusalem.
Hao walikuwa wakuu wa mbari za baba zao katika Walawi, katika vizazi vyao vyote, watu wakuu; nao walikuwa wakikaa huko Yerusalemu.
