Taariikhdii Kowaad 23
1 Haddaba Daa'uud wuu gaboobay, wuuna da' weynaa, markaasuu reer binu Israa'iil boqor uga dhigay wiilkiisii Sulaymaan.
When David was old and near the end of his life, he made Solomon his son king over Israel.
2 Oo wuxuu soo wada ururiyey amiirradii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan, iyo wadaaddadii iyo kuwii reer Laawiba.
He gathered together all the leaders of Israel, with the priests and Levites.
3 Markaasaa la tiriyey reer Laawi intoodii soddon sannadood jirtay ama ka sii weynayd, oo markii nin nin loo tiriyey, dhammaantood tiradoodii waxay noqotay siddeed iyo soddon kun oo nin.
The Levites who were thirty years old and older were counted. They numbered thirty-eight thousand.
4 Oo kuwaas afar iyo labaatan kun oo ka mid ahu waxay ahaayeen kuwo ilaaliya hawsha guriga Rabbiga, oo lix kunna waxay ahaayeen saraakiil iyo xaakinno,
“Of these, twenty-four thousand were to oversee the work of Yahweh's house, and six thousand were officers and judges.
5 oo afar kunna waxay ahaayeen iridjoogayaal, oo afar kunna waxay Rabbiga ku ammaani jireen alaabtii aan u sameeyey in isaga lagu ammaano ayuu Daa'uud yidhi.
Four thousand were gatekeepers, and four thousand were to praise Yahweh with the instruments that I made to give praise,” David said.
6 Oo Daa'uud wuxuu iyagii u kala qaybiyey koox koox sidii ay ahaayeen wiilashii Laawi, kuwaas oo ahaa: Gershoon, iyo Qohaad, iyo Meraarii.
He divided them into groups that corresponded to Levi's sons: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
7 Reer Gershoon waxaa ahaa Lacdaan iyo Shimcii.
From the clans descended from Gershon, there were Ladan and Shimei.
8 Wiilashii Lacdaan waxay ahaayeen saddex, waana Yexii'eel oo madax ahaa, iyo Seetaam, iyo Yoo'eel.
There were three of Ladan's sons: Jehiel the leader, Zetham, and Joel.
9 Wiilashii Shimciina waxay ahaayeen saddex, waana Shelomood, iyo Xasii'eel, iyo Xaaraan, kuwaasu waxay ahaayeen madaxdii qolooyinkii reer Lacdaan.
There were three of Shimei's sons: Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran. These were the leaders of the clans of Ladan.
10 Oo waxaa wiilashii Shimcii ahaa Yaaxad, iyo Siinaa, iyo Yecuush, iyo Beriicaah. Afartaasuba waxay ahaayeen wiilashii Shimcii.
There were four of Shimei's sons: Jahath, Ziza, Jeush, and Beriah.
11 Oo waxaa madax ahaa Yaaxad, Siisaahna wuxuu ahaa kii labaad, laakiinse Yecuush iyo Beriicaah wiilal badan ma ay lahayn, oo sidaas daraaddeed iyaga waxaa loo tiriyey isku reer.
Jahath was the oldest, and Ziza the second, but Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, so they were considered as one clan with the same duties.
12 Wiilashii Qohaadna waxay ahaayeen afar, waana Camraam, iyo Isehaar, iyo Xebroon iyo Cusii'eel.
There were four of Kohath's sons: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.
13 Wiilashii Camraamna waxay ahaayeen Haaruun iyo Muuse, oo Haaruun waxaa gooni looga dhigay inay isagii iyo wiilashiisuba weligood quduus ka dhigaan waxyaalaha ugu wada quduusan iyo inay Rabbiga hortiisa foox ku shidaan, oo ay u adeegaan oo ay weligoodba magiciisa ku duceeyaan.
These were Amram's sons: Aaron and Moses. Aaron was chosen to set apart the most holy things, that he and his descendants would offer incense before Yahweh, to serve him and to give blessings in his name forever.
14 Laakiinse Muuse oo ahaa nin Ilaah wiilashiisii waxaa lagu tiriyey qabiilka reer Laawi.
But as for Moses the man of God, his sons were considered to be Levites.
15 Wiilashii Muusena waxay ahaayeen Gershoom iyo Eliiceser.
Moses' sons were Gershom and Eliezer.
16 Ina Gershoomna wuxuu ahaa Shebuu'eel oo madax ahaa.
Gershom's descendant was Shubael the oldest.
17 Ina Eliiceserna wuxuu ahaa Rexabyaah oo madax ahaa. Oo Eliiceser innaba wiilal kale ma lahayn, laakiinse Rexabyaah wiilashiisu aad bay u badnaayeen.
Eliezer's descendant was Rehabiah. Eliezer had no other sons, but Rehabiah had many descendants.
18 Ina Isehaarna wuxuu ahaa Shelomiid oo madax ahaa.
Izhar's son was Shelomith the leader.
19 Wiilashii Xebroonna waxay ahaayeen Yeriyaah oo madax ahaa, iyo Amaryaah oo ahaa kii labaad, iyo Yaxasii'eel oo ahaa kii saddexaad, iyo Yeqamcaam oo ahaa kii afraad.
Hebron's descendants were Jeriah, the oldest, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
20 Wiilashii Cusii'eelna waxay ahaayeen Miikaah oo madax ahaa, iyo Yishiyaah oo ahaa kii labaad.
Uzziel's sons were Micah the oldest, and Ishijah the second.
21 Wiilashii Meraariina waxay ahaayeen Maxlii iyo Mushii. Wiilashii Maxliina waxay ahaayeen Elecaasaar iyo Qiish.
Merari's sons were Mahli and Mushi. Mahli's sons were Eleazar and Kish.
22 Oo Elecaasaarna wuxuu dhintay isagoo gabdho keliya mooyaane aan wiilal lahayn, oo waxaa gabdhihiisii guursaday reer Qiish oo ahaa ilma-adeerradood.
Eleazar died without having any sons. He had only daughters. The sons of Kish married them.
23 Wiilashii Mushiina waxay ahaayeen saddex, waana Maxlii iyo Ceeder iyo Yereemood.
Mushi's three sons were Mahli, Eder, and Jerimoth.
24 Kuwaasu waxay ahaayeen reer Laawi sidii qolooyinkoodu kala ahaayeen, waana kuwii ahaa madaxdii reeraha kuwii la tiriyey, oo magacyadooda nin nin loo tiriyey, kuwaasoo samayn jiray shuqulkii hawsha guriga Rabbiga, waana intii labaatan sannadood jirtay ama ka sii weynayd.
These were Levi's descendants corresponding to their clans. They were the leaders, counted and listed by name, of the clans that did the work in the service of Yahweh's house, from twenty years old and upward.
25 Waayo, Daa'uud wuxuu yidhi, Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil dadkiisuu nasiyey, oo weligiis wuxuu deggan yahay Yeruusaalem.
For David said, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, has given rest to his people. He makes his home in Jerusalem forever.
26 Weliba reer Laawina mar dambe uma baahan doonaan inay qaadaan taambuugga iyo weelashiisa lagaga adeego oo dhan.
The Levites will no longer need to carry the tabernacle and all the equipment used in its service.”
27 Oo Daa'uud dardaarankiisii ayaa reer Laawi lagu tiriyey, intoodii labaatan sannadood jirtay ama ka sii weynayd.
For by David's last words the Levites were counted, from twenty years old and upward.
28 Waayo, shuqulkoodu wuxuu ahaa inay reer Haaruun amarkooda ku adeegaan oo ay qabtaan hawshii guriga Rabbiga, iyo inay ka adeegaan barxadaha iyo qowladaha, iyo inay daahiriyaan waxyaalaha quduuska ah oo dhan, kaasu wuxuu ahaa shuqulka hawsha guriga Rabbiga.
Their duty was to assist Aaron's descendants in the service of Yahweh's house. They were to care for the courtyards, the rooms, the ceremonial purification of all the things that belong to Yahweh, and other work in the service of God's house.
29 Oo weliba waxay kala hagaajin jireen kibistii tusniinta iyo burkii laga dhigi jiray qurbaan jidhiidh ah, hadduu ahaa kibis aan khamiir lahayn ama tii digsiga lagu dubi jiray, amase tii la qoyn jiray, iyo cayn kasta oo ah qiyaas iyo miisaan,
They also took care of the bread of the presence, the fine flour for grain offerings, the unleavened wafers, the baked offerings, the offerings mixed with oil, and all the measuring of the amounts and sizes of things.
30 iyo inay subax kasta u istaagaan inay Rabbiga ku mahadnaqaan oo ammaanaan, oo haddana habeenkiina saasoo kalay yeeli jireen.
They also stood every morning to thank and praise Yahweh. They also did this in the evening
31 Oo haddana waxay had iyo goor Rabbiga hortiisa ku bixin jireen qurbaanno la gubo oo dhan, waxayna bixin jireen sabtiyada, iyo markay bilaha cusubu dhashaan, iyo iidaha, waxayna u bixin jireen si waafaqsan tiradoodii qaynuunka ku qornayd,
and whenever burnt offerings were offered to Yahweh, on the Sabbath and at the new moon festivals and feast days. A fixed number, assigned by decree, always had to be present before Yahweh.
32 wayna ilaalin jireen teendhada shirka, iyo meesha quduuska ah, iyo reer Haaruun oo iyaga walaalahood ah, oo saasay uga adeegi jireen guriga Rabbiga.
They were in charge of the tent of meeting, the holy place, and helped their fellow descendants of Aaron in the service of Yahweh's house.
