1 Seenaa 23
1 Daawit erga waggaa hedduu jiraatee dulloomee booddee ilma isaa Solomoonin Israaʼel irratti mootii godhe.
So when David was old and full of days, he made Solomon his son king over Israel.
2 Akkasumas Daawit dura buutota Israaʼel hunda, lubootaa fi Lewwota illee walitti qabe.
And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.
3 Lewwonni umuriin isaanii waggaa soddomaa fi hammasii olii ni lakkaaʼaman; baayʼinni dhiirotaa kuma soddomii saddeet taʼe.
Now the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty years and upward: and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty and eight thousand.
4 Daawitis akkana jedhe; “Isaan kanneen keessaa kuma digdamii afur hojii mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo haa toʼatan; namoonni kuma jaʼa qondaaltotaa fi abbootii murtii haa taʼan.
Of which, twenty and four thousand were to set forward the work of the house of the LORD; and six thousand were officers and judges:
5 Kumni afur eegdota balbalaa haa taʼan; kumni afur immoo miʼoota faarfannaa kanneen ani kaayyoo kanaaf kenneen Waaqayyoon haa galateeffatan.”
Moreover four thousand were porters; and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I made, said David, to praise therewith.
6 Daawitis Lewwota akkuma gosoota Lewwiitti garee gareen gargar ni qoode; isaanis: Geershoon, Qohaatii fi Meraarii.
And David divided them into courses among the sons of Levi, namely, Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
7 Gosa Geershoon keessaa: Laʼadaanii fi Shimeʼii.
Of the Gershonites were, Laadan, and Shimei.
8 Ilmaan Laʼadaanii: Yehiiʼeel hangafticha, Zeetaamii fi Yooʼeel; walumatti nama sadii turan.
The sons of Laadan; the chief was Jehiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three.
9 Ilmaan Shimeʼii: Sheloomot, Haziiʼeelii fi Haaraan; walumatti nama sadii turan. Isaan kunneen hangafoota Maatii Laʼadaan turan.
The sons of Shimei; Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the chief of the fathers of Laadan.
10 Ilmaan Shimeʼii: Yahaati, Ziinaa, Yeʼuushii fi Beriiyaa. Isaan kunneen ilmaan Shimeʼii ti; walumatti nama afur turan.
And the sons of Shimei were, Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.
11 Yahaati hangafa; Ziinaan lammaffaa; Yeʼuushii fi Beriiyaan garuu ilmaan baayʼee hin qaban; kanaafuu isaan akkuma maatii tokkootti lakkaaʼaman.
And Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second: but Jeush and Beriah had not many sons; therefore they were in one reckoning, according to their father's house.
12 Ilmaan Qohaatii: Amraam, Yizihaar, Kebroonii fi Uziiʼeel; walumatti nama afur turan.
The sons of Kohath; Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.
13 Ilmaan Amraam: Aroonii fi Musee. Aroon akka innii fi sanyiin isaa wantoota waan hunda caalaa qulqulluu taʼan Waaqaaf qulqulleessaniif, akka fuula Waaqayyoo duratti aarsaa dhiʼeessaniif, akka fuula isaa dura tajaajilanii fi akka maqaa isaatiin eebba labsaniif bara baraan addaan baafaman.
The sons of Amram; Aaron and Moses: and Aaron was separated, that he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons for ever, to burn incense before the LORD, to minister unto him, and to bless in his name for ever.
14 Ilmaan Musee nama Waaqaa immoo gosa Lewwiitti dabalamanii lakkaaʼaman.
Now concerning Moses the man of God, his sons were named of the tribe of Levi.
15 Ilmaan Musee: Geershoomii fi Eliiʼezer.
The sons of Moses were, Gershom, and Eliezer.
16 Ilmaan Geershoomii: Shebuuʼeel hangafa.
Of the sons of Gershom, Shebuel was the chief.
17 Ilmaan Eliiʼezerii keessaa: Rehaabiyaa hangafa. Eleʼaazaar ilmaan biraa hin qabu ture; ilmaan Rehaabiyaa garuu akka malee hedduu turan.
And the sons of Eliezer were, Rehabiah the chief. And Eliezer had no other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.
18 Ilmaan Yizihaar keessaa: Sheloomiit hangafta.
Of the sons of Izhar; Shelomith the chief.
19 Ilmaan Kebroon; hangaftichi Yeriyaa, lammaffaan Amariyaa, sadaffaan Yahiziiʼeel, afuraffaan Yeqameʼaam.
Of the sons of Hebron; Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
20 Ilmaan Uziiʼeel: hangaftichi Miikaa, lammaffaan Yishiyaa.
Of the sons of Uzziel; Micah the first and Jesiah the second.
21 Ilmaan Meraarii: Mahilii fi Muusii. Ilmaan Mahilii: Eleʼaazaarii fi Qiish.
The sons of Merari; Mahli, and Mushi. The sons of Mahli; Eleazar, and Kish.
22 Eleʼaazaar utuu ilmaan hin dhalchin duʼe; inni intallan qofa qaba ture. Durbiiwwan isaanii ilmaan Qiishitu isaan fuudhe.
And Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters: and their brethren the sons of Kish took them.
23 Ilmaan Muusii: Mahelii, Eederii fi Yereemooti; walumatti nama sadii turan.
The sons of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three.
24 Isaan kunneen ilmaan Lewwii kanneen akkuma mana abbootii isaaniitti hangafoonni abbootii warri maqaa maqaadhaan galmeeffamanii tokko tokkoon lakkaaʼaman, hojjettoota umuriin isaanii waggaa digdamaa fi sanaa ol taʼe warra mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessa tajaajilanii dha.
These were the sons of Levi after the house of their fathers; even the chief of the fathers, as they were counted by number of names by their polls, that did the work for the service of the house of the LORD, from the age of twenty years and upward.
25 Daawit akkana jedhee tureetii; “Waaqayyoo Waaqni Israaʼel saba isaatiif boqonnaa kenneera; bara baraanis Yerusaalem keessa ni jiraata;
For David said, The LORD God of Israel has given rest unto his people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem for ever:
26 siʼachi Lewwonni dunkaana yookaan miʼoota achi keessatti itti fayyadaman hin baatan.”
And also unto the Levites; they shall no more carry the tabernacle, nor any vessels of it for the service thereof.
27 Akkuma qajeelcha Daawit dhuma irratti kenneetti, Lewwonni waggaa digdamaa fi sanaa olii hedamaniiruutii.
For by the last words of David the Levites were numbered from twenty years old and above:
28 Hojiin Lewwotaas tajaajila mana qulqullummaa Waaqaa keessatti sanyiiwwan Aroonii gargaaruu dha; kunis oobdiiwwanii fi kutaawwan mana qulqullummaa eeguu, miʼoota qulqulluu qulqulleessuu fi hojiiwwan biraas mana Waaqayyoo keessatti hojjechuu dha.
Because their office was to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of the LORD, in the courts, and in the chambers, and in the purifying of all holy things, and the work of the service of the house of God;
29 Akkasumas buddeena minjaala irra kaaʼuu, daakuu kennaa midhaanii, buddeena utuu hin bukaaʼin tolfame, tolchuu fi waliin makuu, safartuu fi madaalii hunda irratti itti gaafatamtoota turan.
Both for the showbread, and for the fine flour for food offering, and for the unleavened cakes, and for that which is baked in the pan, and for that which is fried, and for all manner of measure and size;
30 Isaan guyyaa guyyaadhaan Waaqayyoon galateeffachuu fi jajachuuf ganama ganama fuula isaa dura ni dhaabatu; galgala galgalas akkasuma ni godhu;
And to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD, and likewise at even:
31 yeroo aarsaan gubamu guyyaa Sanbataa Waaqayyoof dhiʼeeffamutti yeroo Ayyaana Baatii Haaraa fi gaafa ayyaana yeroon isaa murtaaʼe kamii iyyuu akkanuma ni godhu. Isaan yeroo hunda akkuma lakkoobsaa fi qajeelfama isaanii kennameetti fuula Waaqayyoo dura tajaajilu ture.
And to offer all burnt sacrifices unto the LORD in the sabbaths, in the new moons, and on the set feasts, by number, according to the order commanded unto them, continually before the LORD:
32 Lewwonni akkasiin itti gaafatama dunkaana wal gaʼii fi Iddoo Qulqulluu eeguuf qaban raawwatan; akkasumas ajaja obboloota isaanii sanyiiwwan Aroon jalatti itti gaafatamummaa mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessatti qaban raawwachaa turan.
And that they should keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the holy place, and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren, in the service of the house of the LORD.
