1 Kane Daudi koro oseti kendo hike ne ngʼeny, ne oketo wuode Solomon obedo ruodh Israel.
Now David was old and full of days; and he made Solomon his son king over Israel.
2 Bende ne ochoko jodongo duto mag jo-Israel kaachiel gi jodolo kod jo-Lawi.
He gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.
3 Jo-Lawi machwo ma jo-higni piero adek kata moloyo kanyo nokwan, ne gin ji alufu piero adek gaboro.
The Levites were counted from thirty years old and upward; and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty-eight thousand.
4 Daudi nowacho niya, “Ji alufu piero ariyo gangʼwen kuomgi noket jorit tich e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye, to ji alufu auchiel kuomgi to noket jotelo kod jongʼad bura.
David said, “Of these, twenty-four thousand were to oversee the work of Yahweh’s house, six thousand were officers and judges,
5 Ji alufu angʼwen, to noket jorit rangeye, kendo ji alufu angʼwen mamoko, to noket jopak Jehova Nyasaye gi thumbe ma asechiwo nikech tijni.”
four thousand were doorkeepers, and four thousand praised Yahweh with the instruments which I made for giving praise.”

Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second; but Jeush and Beriah didn’t have many sons; therefore they became a fathers’ house in one reckoning.

These were the sons of Levi after their fathers’ houses, even the heads of the fathers’ houses of those who were counted individually, in the number of names by their polls, who did the work for the service of Yahweh’s house, from twenty years old and upward.
25 Nimar Daudi nosewacho niya, “Nikech Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach Israel osemiyo joge yweyo kendo osebiro mondo odag Jerusalem nyaka chiengʼ,
For David said, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, has given rest to his people; and he dwells in Jerusalem forever.
26 onge tiende mondo jo-Lawi osik katingʼo Hemb Romo kata gige lemo mitiyogo e iye.”
Also the Levites will no longer need to carry the tabernacle and all its vessels for its service.”
27 Kaluwore gi chike mogik mar Daudi, jo-Lawi nokwan kochakore jo-higni piero ariyo kata moloyo kanyo.
For by the last words of David the sons of Levi were counted, from twenty years old and upward.

For their duty was to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of Yahweh’s house—in the courts, in the rooms, and in the purifying of all holy things, even the work of the service of God’s house;
29 Gin ema ne gitedo makati mane iketo e mesa, mogo mar chiwo mar cham, makati ma ok oketie thowi, losogi kendo pimogi, bende rito gik moko duto mane ipimogo ngʼeny kod pek gik moko.
for the show bread also, and for 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 measurements of quantity and size;
30 Bende negichungʼ pile ka pile mondo gidwok erokamano kendo gipak Jehova Nyasaye. Nonego gitim kamano godhiambo bende,
and to stand every morning to thank and praise Yahweh, and likewise in the evening;
31 kendo e kinde ka kinde manochiw misengini miwangʼo pep ne Jehova Nyasaye e odiechienge mag Sabato, kendo e Sawo mar Dwe manyien kendo e kinde mag sewni moyier. Nonego giti e nyim Jehova Nyasaye kinde ka kinde kaluwore gi kwan-gi kod yo mowinjore mane ochan-negi.
and to offer all burnt offerings to Yahweh on the Sabbaths, on the new moons, and on the set feasts, in number according to the ordinance concerning them, continually before Yahweh;
32 Kendo jo-Lawi notiyo tijegi mag Hemb Romo gi Kama Ler kotelnegi gi jowetegi ma gin nyikwa Harun mondo giti e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye.
and that they should keep the duty of the Tent of Meeting, the duty of the holy place, and the duty of the sons of Aaron their brothers for the service of Yahweh’s house.
