1 H addaba Daa'uud wuu gaboobay, wuuna da' weynaa, markaasuu reer binu Israa'iil boqor uga dhigay wiilkiisii Sulaymaan.

When David was old and full of days, he made Solomon his son king over Israel.

2 O o wuxuu soo wada ururiyey amiirradii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan, iyo wadaaddadii iyo kuwii reer Laawiba.

David assembled all the leaders of Israel, with the priests and Levites.

3 M arkaasaa 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 thirty years old and upward numbered, man by man, 38, 000,

4 O o 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 whom 24, 000 were to oversee the work of the house of the Lord and 6, 000 were to be officers and judges.

5 o o 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.

And, said David, 4, 000 shall be gatekeepers and 4, 000 are to praise the Lord with the instruments which I made for praise.

6 O o Daa'uud wuxuu iyagii u kala qaybiyey koox koox sidii ay ahaayeen wiilashii Laawi, kuwaas oo ahaa: Gershoon, iyo Qohaad, iyo Meraarii. Reer Gershoon

And David organized them in sections according to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.

7 R eer Gershoon waxaa ahaa Lacdaan iyo Shimcii.

Of the Gershonites: Ladan (Libni) and Shimei.

8 W iilashii Lacdaan waxay ahaayeen saddex, waana Yexii'eel oo madax ahaa, iyo Seetaam, iyo Yoo'eel.

The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the chief, Zetham, and Joel—three in all.

9 W iilashii Shimciina waxay ahaayeen saddex, waana Shelomood, iyo Xasii'eel, iyo Xaaraan, kuwaasu waxay ahaayeen madaxdii qolooyinkii reer Lacdaan.

The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran—three in all. These were the heads of the fathers’ houses of Ladan.

10 O o waxaa wiilashii Shimcii ahaa Yaaxad, iyo Siinaa, iyo Yecuush, iyo Beriicaah. Afartaasuba waxay ahaayeen wiilashii Shimcii.

And the sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina (Zizah), Jeush, and Beriah. Of these four sons of Shimei,

11 O o 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. Reer Qohaad

Jahath was chief and Zizah the second, but Jeush and Beriah had not many sons; so they were counted together as one father’s house.

12 W iilashii Qohaadna waxay ahaayeen afar, waana Camraam, iyo Isehaar, iyo Xebroon iyo Cusii'eel.

The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel—four in all.

13 W iilashii 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.

The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses. Aaron was set apart to sanctify him as most holy and to consecrate the most holy things, that he and his sons forever might burn incense before the Lord, minister to Him, and bless in His name forever.

14 L aakiinse Muuse oo ahaa nin Ilaah wiilashiisii waxaa lagu tiriyey qabiilka reer Laawi.

But the sons of Moses the man of God were named among the tribe of Levi.

15 W iilashii Muusena waxay ahaayeen Gershoom iyo Eliiceser.

The sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.

16 I na Gershoomna wuxuu ahaa Shebuu'eel oo madax ahaa.

The son of Gershom: Shebuel the chief.

17 I na Eliiceserna wuxuu ahaa Rexabyaah oo madax ahaa. Oo Eliiceser innaba wiilal kale ma lahayn, laakiinse Rexabyaah wiilashiisu aad bay u badnaayeen.

The son of Eliezer: Rehabiah the chief. Eliezer had no other sons, but Rehabiah’s sons were very many.

18 I na Isehaarna wuxuu ahaa Shelomiid oo madax ahaa.

The sons of Izhar: Shelomith was the chief.

19 W iilashii 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.

The sons of Hebron: Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.

20 W iilashii Cusii'eelna waxay ahaayeen Miikaah oo madax ahaa, iyo Yishiyaah oo ahaa kii labaad. Reer Meraarii

The sons of Uzziel: Micah the first and Isshiah the second.

21 W iilashii Meraariina waxay ahaayeen Maxlii iyo Mushii. Wiilashii Maxliina waxay ahaayeen Elecaasaar iyo Qiish.

The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.

22 O o Elecaasaarna wuxuu dhintay isagoo gabdho keliya mooyaane aan wiilal lahayn, oo waxaa gabdhihiisii guursaday reer Qiish oo ahaa ilma-adeerradood.

Eleazar died and had no sons, but daughters only, and their kinsmen, sons of Kish, took them as wives.

23 W iilashii Mushiina waxay ahaayeen saddex, waana Maxlii iyo Ceeder iyo Yereemood.

The sons of Mushi: Mahli, Eder, and Jeremoth—three in all.

24 K uwaasu 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 the Levites by their fathers’ houses, the heads of the fathers’ houses of those registered, according to the number of names of the individuals who were the servants of the house of the Lord, from twenty years old and upward.

25 W aayo, Daa'uud wuxuu yidhi, Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil dadkiisuu nasiyey, oo weligiis wuxuu deggan yahay Yeruusaalem.

For David said, The Lord, the God of Israel has given peace and rest to His people, and He dwells in Jerusalem forever.

26 W eliba reer Laawina mar dambe uma baahan doonaan inay qaadaan taambuugga iyo weelashiisa lagaga adeego oo dhan.

So the Levites no more have need to carry the tabernacle and all its vessels for its service.

27 O o Daa'uud dardaarankiisii ayaa reer Laawi lagu tiriyey, intoodii labaatan sannadood jirtay ama ka sii weynayd.

For by the last words and acts of David, these were the number of the Levites from twenty years old and above.

28 W aayo, 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.

But their duty should be to wait on the sons of Aaron in the service of the house of the Lord, caring for the courts, the chambers, the cleansing of all holy things, and any work of the service of God’s house,

29 O o 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,

For the showbread also, and for the fine flour for a cereal offering, whether of unleavened wafers or of what is baked on the griddle or soaked, and for all measuring of amount and size.

30 i yo inay subax kasta u istaagaan inay Rabbiga ku mahadnaqaan oo ammaanaan, oo haddana habeenkiina saasoo kalay yeeli jireen.

They are also to stand every morning to thank and praise the Lord, and likewise at evening,

31 O o 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 to assist in offering all burnt sacrifices to the Lord on Sabbaths, New Moon festivals, and set feast days by number according to the ordinance concerning them, continually before the Lord.

32 w ayna ilaalin jireen teendhada shirka, iyo meesha quduuska ah, iyo reer Haaruun oo iyaga walaalahood ah, oo saasay uga adeegi jireen guriga Rabbiga.

So they shall keep charge of the Tent of Meeting and the Holy Place and shall attend to the sons of Aaron their kinsmen, for the service of the house of the Lord.
