Officers and Judges
1 Concerning the divisions of the porters: Of the Korhites was Meshelemiah the son of Kore, of the sons of Asaph.
Kwa zamu zao mabawabu; wa Wakora; Meshelemia mwana wa Kore, wa wana wa Ebiasafu.
2 And the sons of Meshelemiah were , Zechariah the firstborn, Jediael the second, Zebadiah the third, Jathniel the fourth,
Naye Meshelemia alikuwa na wana; Zekaria mzaliwa wa kwanza, Yediaeli wa pili, Zebadia wa tatu, Yathnieli wa nne;
3 Elam the fifth, Jehohanan the sixth, Elioenai the seventh.
Elamu wa tano, Yohana wa sita, Elioenai wa saba.
4 Moreover the sons of Obed-edom were , Shemaiah the firstborn, Jehozabad the second, Joah the third, and Sacar the fourth, and Nethaneel the fifth,
Naye Obed-edomu alikuwa na wana; Shemaya mzaliwa wa kwanza, Yehozabadi wa pili, Yoa wa tatu, na Sakari wa nne, na Nethaneli wa tano;
5 Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, Peulthai the eighth: for God blessed him.
Amieli wa sita, Isakari wa saba, Peulethai wa nane; kwa jinsi Mungu alivyombariki.
6 Also unto Shemaiah his son were sons born, that ruled throughout the house of their father: for they were mighty men of valour.
Naye mwanawe Shemaya akazaliwa wana, waliomiliki juu ya mbari ya baba yao; kwa kuwa walikuwa waume mashujaa.
7 The sons of Shemaiah; Othni, and Rephael, and Obed, Elzabad, whose brethren were strong men, Elihu, and Semachiah.
Wana wa Shemaya; Othni, na Refaeli, na Obedi, na Elzabadi, nduguze walikuwa mashujaa, Elihu, na Semakia.
8 All these of the sons of Obed-edom: they and their sons and their brethren, able men for strength for the service, were threescore and two of Obed-edom.
Hao wote walikuwa wana wa Obed-edomu; wao na wana wao na ndugu zao, watu hodari wawezao huo utumishi; watu wa Obed-edomu sitini na wawili.
9 And Meshelemiah had sons and brethren, strong men, eighteen.
Naye Meshelemia alikuwa na wana na nduguze, watu mashujaa, kumi na wanane.
10 Also Hosah, of the children of Merari, had sons; Simri the chief, (for though he was not the firstborn, yet his father made him the chief;)
Hosa naye, wa wana wa Merari, alikuwa na wana; Shimri mkuu wao; (kwani ajapokuwa yeye si mzaliwa wa kwanza, babaye alimweka mkuu);
11 Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third, Zechariah the fourth: all the sons and brethren of Hosah were thirteen.
Hilkia wa pili, Tebalia wa tatu, Zekaria wa nne; wana wote wa Hosa pamoja na nduguze walikuwa watu kumi na watatu.
12 Among these were the divisions of the porters, even among the chief men, having wards one against another, to minister in the house of the LORD.
Katika hao zilikuwa zamu za mabawabu, yaani, katika hao wakuu, wenye ulinzi sawasawa na ndugu zao, wa kutumika katika nyumba ya Bwana.
13 And they cast lots, as well the small as the great, according to the house of their fathers, for every gate.
Nao wakatupiwa kura kwa ajili ya kila lango, wadogo sawasawa na wakubwa, kwa kadiri ya mbari za baba zao.
14 And the lot eastward fell to Shelemiah. Then for Zechariah his son, a wise counsellor, they cast lots; and his lot came out northward.
Kura ya mashariki ya lango ikamwangukia Meshelemia. Ndipo wakamtupia kura Zekaria mwanawe, mshauri mwenye busara; na kura yake ikamtokea ya kaskazini.
15 To Obed-edom southward; and to his sons the house of Asuppim.
Ya Obed-edomu ya kusini; na ya wanawe nyumba ya akiba.
16 To Shuppim and Hosah the lot came forth westward, with the gate Shallecheth, by the causeway of the going up, ward against ward.
Ya Shupimu na Hosa upande wa magharibi, langoni pa Shalekethi, hapo penye daraja ya kupandia, ulinzi kwa ulinzi.
17 Eastward were six Levites, northward four a day, southward four a day, and toward Asuppim two and two.
Upande wa mashariki walikuwapo Walawi sita, kaskazini wanne kila siku, kusini wanne kila siku, na wa nyumba ya akiba wawili wawili.
18 At Parbar westward, four at the causeway, and two at Parbar.
Penye Parbari upande wa magharibi, walikuwapo wanne darajani, na wawili huko Parbari.
19 These are the divisions of the porters among the sons of Kore, and among the sons of Merari.
Hizo ndizo zamu za mabawabu; wa wana wa Wakora, na wa wana wa Merari.
20 And of the Levites, Ahijah was over the treasures of the house of God, and over the treasures of the dedicated things.
Na katika Walawi; Ahia alikuwa juu ya hazina za nyumba ya Mungu, na juu ya hazina za vitu vilivyowekwa wakfu.
21 As concerning the sons of Laadan; the sons of the Gershonite Laadan, chief fathers, even of Laadan the Gershonite, were Jehieli.
Wana wa Ladani; wana wa Wagershoni waliokuwa wa Ladani; wakuu wa mbari za mababa waliokuwa wa Ladani, Mgershoni; Yehieli.
22 The sons of Jehieli; Zetham, and Joel his brother, which were over the treasures of the house of the LORD.
Wana wa Yehieli; Zethamu, na Yoeli nduguye, juu ya hazina za nyumba ya Bwana.
23 Of the Amramites, and the Izharites, the Hebronites, and the Uzzielites:
Wa Waamramu, wa Waishari, wa Wahebroni, wa Wauzieli;
24 and Shebuel the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, was ruler of the treasures.
na Shebueli, mwana wa Gershomu, mwana wa Musa, alikuwa mtawala hazina zote.
25 And his brethren by Eliezer; Rehabiah his son, and Jeshaiah his son, and Joram his son, and Zichri his son, and Shelomith his son.
Na nduguze; wa Eliezeri, Rehabia mwanawe, na Ishia mwanawe, na Yoramu mwanawe, na Zikri mwanawe, na Shelomothi mwanawe.
26 Which Shelomith and his brethren were over all the treasures of the dedicated things, which David the king, and the chief fathers, the captains over thousands and hundreds, and the captains of the host, had dedicated.
Huyo Shelomothi na ndugu zake walikuwa juu ya hazina zote za vitu vilivyowekwa wakfu, alivyoviweka wakfu mfalme Daudi, na hao wakuu wa mbari za mababa, na maakida wa maelfu na wa mamia, na maakida wa jeshi.
27 Out of the spoils won in battles did they dedicate to maintain the house of the LORD.
Katika nyara zilizopatikana vitani, waliweka wakfu sehemu, ili kuitengeneza nyumba ya Bwana.
28 And all that Samuel the seer, and Saul the son of Kish, and Abner the son of Ner, and Joab the son of Zeruiah, had dedicated; and whosoever had dedicated any thing, it was under the hand of Shelomith, and of his brethren.
Na vyote alivyoviweka wakfu Samweli mwonaji, na Sauli mwana wa Kishi, na Abneri mwana wa Neri, na Yoabu mwana wa Seruya; na mtu ye yote aliyekiweka wakfu kitu cho chote, kilikuwa chini ya mkono wa Shelomothi na nduguze.
29 Of the Izharites, Chenaniah and his sons were for the outward business over Israel, for officers and judges.
Katika Waishari, Kenania na wanawe walikuwa kwa ajili ya kazi ya nje juu ya Israeli, kuwa maakida na makadhi.
30 And of the Hebronites, Hashabiah and his brethren, men of valour, a thousand and seven hundred, were officers among them of Israel on this side Jordan westward in all the business of the LORD, and in the service of the king.
Katika Wahebroni, Hashabia na nduguze, mashujaa, elfu na mia saba, walikuwa na usimamizi juu ya Israeli ng'ambo ya Yordani upande wa magharibi; kwa ajili ya kazi zote za Bwana, na kwa utumishi wa mfalme.
31 Among the Hebronites was Jerijah the chief, even among the Hebronites, according to the generations of his fathers. In the fortieth year of the reign of David they were sought for, and there were found among them mighty men of valour at Jazer of Gilead.
Katika Wahebroni Yeria alikuwa mkuu, yaani, wa hao Wahebroni kwa kufuata vizazi vyao kwa mbari za mababa. Katika mwaka arobaini wa kutawala kwake Daudi wakatafutwa, wakaonekana huko Yazeri ya Gileadi miongoni mwao waume mashujaa.
32 And his brethren, men of valour, were two thousand and seven hundred chief fathers, whom king David made rulers over the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, for every matter pertaining to God, and affairs of the king.
Na nduguze, mashujaa, walikuwa elfu mbili na mia saba, wakuu wa mbari za mababa, ambao mfalme Daudi aliwaweka wawe wasimamizi juu ya Wareubeni, na Wagadi, na nusu kabila ya Wamanase, kwa ajili ya kila neno lililomhusu Mungu, na kwa mambo ya mfalme.
