1 Chronicles 26
1 These were the divisions of the gatekeepers: From the Korahites: Meshelemiah son of Kore, one of the sons of Asaph.
Ngezigaba zabalindi bamasango. KwabakoKora kwakunguMeshelemiya indodana kaKore wamadodana kaAsafi.
2 Meshelemiah had sons: Zechariah the firstborn, Jediael the second, Zebadiah the third, Jathniel the fourth,
LoMeshelemiya wayelamadodana, uZekhariya izibulo, uJediyayeli owesibili, uZebhadiya owesithathu, uJathiniyeli owesine,
3 Elam the fifth, Jehohanan the sixth, and Eliehoenai the seventh.
uElamu owesihlanu, uJehohanani owesithupha, uEliyohenayi owesikhombisa.
4 And Obed-edom also had sons: Shemaiah the firstborn, Jehozabad the second, Joah the third, Sachar the fourth, Nethanel the fifth,
UObedi-Edoma laye wayelamadodana, uShemaya izibulo, uJehozabadi owesibili, uJowa owesithathu, uSakari owesine, loNethaneli owesihlanu,
5 Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, and Peullethai the eighth. For God had blessed Obed-edom.
uAmiyeli owesithupha, uIsakari owesikhombisa, uPhewulethayi owesificaminwembili; ngoba uNkulunkulu wayembusisile.
6 Also to his son Shemaiah were born sons who ruled over their families because they were strong, capable men.
LakuShemaya indodana yakhe kwazalwa amadodana abusa jikelele endlini kayise, ngoba ayengamaqhawe alamandla.
7 Shemaiah’s sons were Othni, Rephael, Obed, and Elzabad; his brothers were Elihu and Semachiah, also capable men.
Amadodana kaShemaya: O-Othini, loRefayeli, loObedi, uElizabadi, abafowabo, amadodana alamandla, oElihu loSemakhiya.
8 All these were descendants of Obed-edom; they and their sons and brothers were capable men with strength to do the work—62 in all from Obed-edom.
Bonke laba babengabamadodana kaObedi-Edoma, bona lamadodana abo labafowabo, amadoda enelisayo ngamandla omsebenzi, bengamatshumi ayisithupha lambili bakoObedi-Edoma.
9 Meshelemiah also had sons and brothers who were capable men—18 in all.
Njalo uMeshelemiya wayelamadodana labafowabo, amadodana alamandla, elitshumi lesificaminwembili.
10 Hosah the Merarite also had sons: Shimri the first (although he was not the firstborn, his father had appointed him as the first),
UHosha laye emadodaneni kaMerari wayelamadodana, uShimiri inhloko (lanxa wayengeyisilo izibulo, kodwa uyise wamenza waba yinhloko);
11 Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third, and Zechariah the fourth. The sons and brothers of Hosah numbered 13 in all.
uHilikhiya owesibili, uTebaliya owesithathu, uZekhariya owesine; wonke amadodana labafowabo bakaHosa babelitshumi lantathu.
12 These divisions of the gatekeepers, through their chief men, had duties for ministering in the house of the LORD, just as their brothers did.
Phakathi kwalabo kwakulezigaba zabalindi bamasango; izinhloko zamadoda zilemilandu njengabafowabo, ukukhonza endlini yeNkosi.
13 They cast lots for each gate, according to their families, young and old alike.
Basebesenza inkatho yokuphosa, omncinyane laye njengomkhulu, ngokwendlu yaboyise, besenzela isango lesango.
14 The lot for the East Gate fell to Shelemiah. Then lots were cast for his son Zechariah, a wise counselor, and the lot for the North Gate fell to him.
Inkatho yempumalanga yawela-ke phezu kukaShelemiya; basebesenza inkatho yokuphosa ngoZekhariya indodana yakhe, umeluleki ohlakaniphileyo; inkatho yakhe yasiphuma ngenyakatho.
15 The lot for the South Gate fell to Obed-edom, and the lot for the storehouses to his sons.
KuObedi-Edoma ngeningizimu; lakumadodana akhe, indlu yokulondoloza.
16 The lots for the West Gate and the Shallecheth Gate on the ascending highway fell to Shuppim and Hosah. There were guards stationed at every watch.
KuShupimi lakuHosa ngentshonalanga, lesango iShalekethi elisemgwaqweni omkhulu oya phezulu, umlindi ngomlindi.
17 Each day there were six Levites on the east, four on the north, four on the south, and two pairs at the storehouse.
Ngempumalanga kwakulamaLevi ayisithupha, ngenyakatho abane ngosuku, ngeningizimu abane ngosuku, leziphaleni ababili ngababili;
18 As for the court on the west, there were four at the highway and two at the court.
eParibari ngentshonalanga, abane emgwaqweni omkhulu, ababili eParibari.
19 These were the divisions of the gatekeepers who were descendants of Korah and Merari.
Lezi yizigaba zabalindi bamasango bamadodana amaKora labamadodana kaMerari.
20 Now their fellow Levites were in charge of the treasuries of the house of God and the treasuries of the dedicated things.
LakumaLevi, uAhiya wayephethe izinto eziligugu zendlu kaNkulunkulu, njalo wayephethe izinto eziligugu zezinto ezingcwele.
21 From the descendants of Ladan, who were Gershonites through Ladan and heads of the families of Ladan the Gershonite, were Jehieli,

24 Shebuel, a descendant of Gershom son of Moses, was the officer in charge of the treasuries.
LoShebuweli indodana kaGereshoma indodana kaMozisi wayeyisiphathamandla phezu kwezinto eziligugu.
25 His relatives through Eliezer included Rehabiah his son, Jeshaiah his son, Joram his son, Zichri his son, and Shelomith his son.
Labafowabo abakaEliyezeri: ORehabhiya indodana yakhe, loJeshaya indodana yakhe, loJoramu indodana yakhe, loZikiri indodana yakhe, loShelomithi indodana yakhe.
26 This Shelomith and his brothers were in charge of all the treasuries for the things dedicated by King David, by the heads of families who were the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, and by the army commanders.
UShelomithi lo labafowabo babephethe zonke izinto eziligugu zezinto ezingcwele uDavida inkosi ayezingcwelisile, lenhloko zaboyise, lenduna zezinkulungwane lezamakhulu, labalawulimabutho.
27 They had dedicated some of the plunder from their battles to the repair of the house of the LORD.
Kokwempi lokwempangweni bakungcwelisela ukulungisa indlu yeNkosi.
28 Everything that had been dedicated by Samuel the seer, Saul son of Kish, Abner son of Ner, and Joab son of Zeruiah, along with everything else that was dedicated, was under the care of Shelomith and his brothers.
Lakho konke uSamuweli umboni ayekungcwelisile, loSawuli indodana kaKishi loAbhineri indodana kaNeri loJowabi indodana kaZeruya; konke okwakungcwelisiwe kwakungaphansi kwesandla sikaShelomithi labafowabo.

31 As for the Hebronites, Jerijah was the chief of the Hebronites, according to the genealogies of his ancestors. In the fortieth year of David’s reign the records were searched, and strong, capable men were found among the Hebronites at Jazer in Gilead.
KumaHebroni uJeriya wayeyinhloko, kumaHebroni, ngokwezizukulwana zaboyise. Ngomnyaka wamatshumi amane wokubusa kukaDavida adingwa, kwasekutholwa phakathi kwawo amaqhawe alamandla eJazere yeGileyadi.
32 Among Jerijah’s relatives there were 2,700 capable men who were heads of families. King David appointed them over the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh for every matter pertaining to God and to the affairs of the king.
