1 Chronicles 9
1 And, all Israel, registered themselves, and lo! they are written, in the Book of the Kings of Israel, and, Judah, was carried away captive to Babylon, for their faithlessness.
UIsrayeli wonke wasebalwa ngezizukulwana; khangela-ke, zibhaliwe egwalweni lwamakhosi akoIsrayeli; kodwa abakoJuda bathunjelwa eBhabhiloni ngenxa yeziphambeko zabo.
2 Now, the first inhabitants, who were in their possessions, in their cities, were Israel, the priests, the Levites, and the Nethinim.
Njalo abahlali bokuqala ababeselizweni labo emizini yabo kwakunguIsrayeli, abapristi, amaLevi, lamaNethini.
3 And, in Jerusalem, there dwelt, of the sons of Judah, and of the sons of Benjamin, —and of the sons of Ephraim, and Manasseh:
Njalo eJerusalema kwahlala ababantwana bakoJuda lababantwana bakoBhenjamini lababantwana bakoEfrayimi loManase:
4 Uthai son of Ammihud, son of Omri, son of Imri, son of Bani, of the sons of Perez, son of Judah.
U-Uthayi indodana kaAmihudi indodana kaOmri indodana kaImri indodana kaBani, wabantwana bakaPerezi indodana kaJuda.
5 And, of the Shilonites, Asaiah the firstborn, and his sons.
LakumaShiloni: UAsaya izibulo, lamadodana akhe.
6 And, of the sons of Zerah, Jeuel, —and their brethren, six hundred and ninety.
Lakumadodana kaZera: UJeyuweli labafowabo, amakhulu ayisithupha lamatshumi ayisificamunwemunye.
7 And, of the sons of Benjamin, Sallu, son of Meshullam, son of Hodaviah, son of Hassenuah;
Lakumadodana akoBhenjamini: USalu indodana kaMeshulamu indodana kaHodaviya indodana kaHasenuwa;
8 and Ibneiah, son of Jeroham, and Elah, son of Uzzi, son of Michri, —and Meshullam, son of Shephatiah, son of Reuel, son of Ibnijah;
loIbineya indodana kaJerohamu, loEla indodana kaUzi indodana kaMikiri, loMeshulamu indodana kaShefathiya indodana kaRehuweli indodana kaIbiniya;
9 and their brethren, by their generations, nine hundred and fifty-six, —all these men, were ancestral chiefs, to their ancestral house.
labafowabo ngezizukulwana zabo, amakhulu ayisificamunwemunye lamatshumi amahlanu lesithupha. Wonke lamadoda ayeyizinhloko zaboyise endlini yaboyise.
10 And, of the priests, Jedaiah, and Jehoiarib, and Jachin, —
Lakubapristi: OJedaya, loJehoyaribi, loJakini,
11 and Azariah son of Hilkiah, son of Meshullam, son of Zadok, son of Meraioth, son of Ahitub, chief ruler of the house of God;
loAzariya indodana kaHilikhiya indodana kaMeshulamu indodana kaZadoki indodana kaMerayothi indodana kaAhitubi, umphathi wendlu kaNkulunkulu,
12 and Adaiah, son of Jeroham, son of Pashhur, son of Malchijah, —and Maasai son of Adiel, son of Jahzerah, son of Meshullam, son of Meshillemith, son of Immer;
loAdaya indodana kaJerohamu indodana kaPashuri indodana kaMalikiya, loMahasayi indodana kaAdiyeli indodana kaJahizera indodana kaMeshulamu indodana kaMeshilemithi indodana kaImeri,
13 and their brethren, chief men of their ancestral house, a thousand and seven hundred and sixty, —able men, for the business of the service of the house of God.
labafowabo, izinhloko zendlu yaboyise, inkulungwane lamakhulu ayisikhombisa lamatshumi ayisithupha, abalamandla ngobungcwethi emsebenzini wenkonzo yendlu kaNkulunkulu.
14 And, of the Levites, Shemaiah, son of Hasshub, son of Azrikam, son of Hashabiah, of the sons of Merari;
LakumaLevi: UShemaya indodana kaHashubi indodana kaAzirikamu indodana kaHashabhiya, owamadodana kaMerari,
15 and Bakbakkar, Heresh, and Galal, —and Mattaniah, son of Mica, son of Zichri, son of Asaph;

16 and Obadiah, son of Shemaiah, son of Galal, son of Jeduthun, —and Berechiah son of Asa, son of Elkanah, who dwelt in the villages of the Netophathites.
loObhadiya indodana kaShemaya indodana kaGalali indodana kaJeduthuni, loBerekiya indodana kaAsa indodana kaElkana owahlala emizini yamaNetofa.
17 And, the keepers of the gates, were Shallum, and Akkub, and Talmon, and Ahiman, —and their brethren—Shallum the chief;
Labagcini bamasango oShaluma loAkubi loTalimoni loAhimani; lomfowabo uShaluma wayeyinhloko;
18 and, hitherto, they were in the gate of the king, eastward, —the same, were the keepers of the gate, for the camps of the sons of Levi.
njalo kuze kube yilesisikhathi, babesesangweni lenkosi ngempumalanga, laba babengabagcini bamasango enkambeni yabantwana bakoLevi.
19 And, Shallum, son of Kore, son of Ebiasaph, son of Korah and his brethren of his ancestral house—the Korahites, were over the business of the service, watchers at the vestibule of the tent, —and, their fathers, had been over the camp of Yahweh, watchers at the entrance.
UShaluma indodana kaKore indodana kaEbiyasafi indodana kaKora, labafowabo, abendlu kayise, amaKora, basebephatha umsebenzi wenkonzo, abalindi beminyango yethente; laboyise baphatha ibandla leNkosi, abalindi bentuba.
20 And, Phinehas son of Eleazar, was, chief ruler, over them aforetime, Yahweh, being with him.
UPhinehasi indodana kaEleyazare wayengumbusi phezu kwabo ngaphambili; iNkosi yayilaye.
21 Zechariah son of Meshelemiah, was door-keeper at the entrance of the tent of meeting.
UZekhariya indodana kaMeshelemiya wayengumgcinisango emnyango wethente lenhlangano.
22 All those who were chosen for door-keepers in the vestibule, were two hundred and twelve, —the same, in their villages, had registered themselves, the same, did David and Samuel the seer establish in their trust.
Bonke labo abakhethwayo babangabagcinimasango emibundwini, babengamakhulu amabili letshumi lambili; babhalwa ngezizukulwana zabo emizini yabo; oDavida loSamuweli umboni ababamisa esikhundleni sabo.
23 So, they and their sons, were over the gates of the house of Yahweh, of the house of the tent, by watches.
Ngakho bona lamadodana abo baphatha amasango endlini yeNkosi, indlu yethente, ngemilindo.
24 Towards the four winds, were the keepers of the gates, —eastward, westward, northward, and southward.
Abalindi bamasango babekhona emimoyeni yomine, empumalanga, entshonalanga, enyakatho, leningizimu.
25 And, their brethren in their villages, had to come in, every seven days, from time to time, along with these.
Labafowabo ababesemizini yabo babefanele beze okwensuku eziyisikhombisa izikhathi ngezikhathi kanye labo.
26 For, in trust, were four mighty men of the keepers of the gates, the same, were Levites, —and they were over the chambers, and over the treasuries of the house of God.
Ngoba amaLevi la, abagcini bamasango abakhulu bobane, babesesikhundleni, babephethe amakamelo bephezu kwezindlu zenotho zendlu kaNkulunkulu.
27 And, round about the house of God, used they to lodge, —for, upon them, was the charge, and they were over the setting open, morning by morning.
Njalo babehlala ebusuku bezingelezele indlu kaNkulunkulu, ngoba umlindo wawuphezu kwabo, njalo bephethe ukuvulwa kwayo, ngitsho ikuseni ngekuseni.
28 And, some from among them, were over the utensils of the service, —for, by number, used they to bring them in, and, by number, used they to take them forth.
Njalo abanye babo babephethe izitsha zenkonzo, ngoba ngenani bazingenisa, langenani bazikhupha.
29 And, some from among them, were appointed over the utensils, yea over all the vessels of the holy place, —and over the fine meal, and the wine, and the oil, and the frankincense, and the spices.
Labanye babo babemiswe phezu kwezitsha, laphezu kwazo zonke izitsha ezingcwele, laphezu kwempuphu ecolekileyo lewayini lamafutha lempepha lamakha.
30 And, some from among the sons of the priests, were compounders of perfumes, with the spices.
Abanye emadodaneni abapristi babehlanganisa-ke amafutha amakha.
31 And, Mattithiah, from among the Levites, —the same, was the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite—was in trust over the making of the flat cakes.
LoMathithiya kumaLevi, owayelizibulo likaShaluma umKora, wayephathiswe umsebenzi wamaqebelengwana abhakwe emapanini.
32 And, some from among the Kohathites, of their brethren, were over the Bread that was set in Array, —to place it sabbath by sabbath.
Labanye babantwana bamaKohathi kubafowabo babephethe isinkwa sokubukiswa ukusilungisa isabatha ngesabatha.
33 These, also were the singers, ancestral chiefs of the Levites, in the chambers, free, —for, by day and by night, was there [a charge] upon them, in the business.
Lalaba ngabahlabeleli, izinhloko zaboyise bamaLevi, emakamelweni, bekhululekile, ngoba emini lebusuku kwakuphezu kwabo ukuba semsebenzini.
34 These, were the ancestral chiefs, of the Levites, by their generations, chief men, —these, dwelt in Jerusalem.
Laba bazinhloko zaboyise bamaLevi, izinhloko ngezizukulwana zabo; laba bahlala eJerusalema.
35 And, in Gibeon, dwelt the father of Gibeon, Jeiel, —the name of whose wife, was Maacah:
EGibeyoni kwakuhlala-ke uyise kaGibeyoni, uJehiyeli; lebizo lomkakhe lalinguMahaka.
36 and, his firstborn son, Abdon, —and Zur, and Kish, and Baal and Ner, and Nadab;
Lendodana yakhe elizibulo uAbidoni, loZuri loKishi loBhali loNeri loNadabi
37 and Gedor, and Ahio, and Zechariah, and Mikloh.
loGedori loAhiyo loZekhariya loMikilothi.
38 And, Mikloth, begat Shimeam—and, they also, over against their brethren, did dwell in Jerusalem, along with their brethren.
UMikilothi wasezala uShimeyamu; laba labo bahlala eJerusalema maqondana labafowabo kanye labafowabo.
39 And, Ner, begat Kith, and, Kish, begat Saul, —and, Saul, begat Jonathan, and Malchishua, and Abinadab, and Eshbaal;
UNeri wasezala uKishi; uKishi wasezala uSawuli; uSawuli wasezala oJonathani loMaliki-Shuwa loAbinadaba loEshibhali.
40 and, the son of Jonathan, was Merib-baal, —and, Merib-baal, begat Micah;
Njalo indodana kaJonathani yayinguMeribi-Bhali; uMeribi-Bhali wasezala uMika.
41 and, the sons of Micah, were Pithon, and Melech, and Tahrea [and Ahaz];
Njalo amadodana kaMika: OPithoni loMeleki loTareya.
42 and, Ahaz, begat Jarah, and, Jarah begat Alemeth, and Azmaveth, and Zimri, —and Zimri, begat Moza;
UAhazi wasezala uJara; uJara wasezala oAlemethi loAzimavethi loZimri. UZimri wasezala uMoza.
43 and, Moza, begat Binea, —and Raphaiah his son, Eleasah his son, Azel his son;
UMoza wasezala uBineya, loRefaya indodana yakhe, uEleyasa indodana yakhe, uAzeli indodana yakhe.
44 and, Azel, had six sons, and these are their names—Azrikam, [his firstborn], and Ishmael, and Sheariah and Obadiah, and Hanan, [and Asah]. These, were the sons of Azel.
Njalo uAzeli wayelamadodana ayisithupha; lala ngamabizo awo: OAzirikamu, uBhokeru, loIshmayeli, loSheyariya, loObhadiya, loHanani. La ayengamadodana kaAzeli.
