聖殿的守衛

26 以下是殿門守衛的班次:

可拉族亞薩的後代有可利的兒子米施利米雅。 米施利米雅的長子是撒迦利亞,次子是耶疊,三子是西巴第雅,四子是耶提聶, 五子是以攔,六子是約哈難,七子是以利約乃。 俄別·以東的長子是示瑪雅,次子是約薩拔,三子是約亞,四子是沙甲,五子是拿坦業, 六子是亞米利,七子是以薩迦,八子是毗烏利太。上帝特別賜福俄別·以東。 他兒子示瑪雅有幾個兒子都很能幹,在各自的家族中做首領。 他們是俄得尼、利法益、俄備得、以利薩巴。他們的親族以利戶和西瑪迦也很能幹。 這些都是俄別·以東的子孫,他們和他們的兒子及親族共有六十二人,都是能幹稱職的人。 米施利米雅的兒子及親族共十八人,都很能幹。 10 米拉利的後代何薩的長子是申利,他本來不是長子,是被他父親立為長子的。 11 次子是希勒迦,三子是底巴利雅,四子是撒迦利亞。何薩的兒子及親族共十三人。

12 這些按族長分成小組的殿門守衛在耶和華的殿裡按班次供職,與他們的親族一樣。 13 他們無論大小,都按照族系抽籤,以決定看守哪個門。 14 示利米雅抽中東門,他兒子撒迦利亞是個精明的謀士,抽中北門。 15 俄別·以東抽中南門,他兒子抽中庫房。 16 書聘和何薩抽中西門和上行之路的沙利基門,兩班相對而立。 17 每天有六個利未人守東門,四人守北門,四人守南門,守庫房的二人一組。 18 守衛西面街道的有四人,守衛走廊的有二人。 19 以上是可拉的子孫和米拉利的子孫守門的班次。

聖殿裡的其他職務

20 利未人亞希雅負責掌管上帝殿裡的庫房和放奉獻之物的庫房。 21 革順族拉但的子孫中做族長的有耶希伊利。 22 耶希伊利的兩個兒子西坦和約珥負責管理耶和華殿裡的庫房。 23 暗蘭族、以斯哈族、希伯崙族、烏歇族也各有其職。 24 摩西的孫子——革舜的兒子細布業是庫房的主管。 25 細布業的親族有以利以謝,以利以謝的兒子是利哈比雅,利哈比雅的兒子是耶篩亞,耶篩亞的兒子是約蘭,約蘭的兒子是細基利,細基利的兒子是示羅密。 26 示羅密及其親族負責管理庫房中的奉獻之物,這些物品是大衛王、眾族長、千夫長、百夫長和將領獻給上帝的聖物。 27 他們把戰爭中擄掠的財物獻出來,以備建造耶和華的殿。 28 撒母耳先見、基士的兒子掃羅、尼珥的兒子押尼珥、洗魯雅的兒子約押及其他人奉獻的聖物都由示羅密及其親族管理。

29 以斯哈族的基拿尼雅及其眾子做官長和士師,為以色列管理聖殿以外的事務。 30 希伯崙族的哈沙比雅及其親族一千七百人都很能幹,他們在以色列的約旦河以西辦理耶和華和王的事務。 31 按家譜記載,希伯崙宗族的族長是耶利雅。大衛執政第四十年,經過調查,在基列的雅謝從希伯崙族中找到一些能幹的人。 32 耶利雅的親族有兩千七百人,都是能幹的族長。大衛王派他們在呂便支派、迦得支派和瑪拿西半個支派中辦理一切有關上帝和王的事務。

Divisions of the Gatekeepers

26 For the divisions of the gatekeepers there were of the Korahites, [a]Meshelemiah the son of Kore, of the sons of [b]Asaph.

(A)Obed-edom had sons:
Shemaiah the firstborn, Jehozabad the second, Joah the third, Sacar the fourth, Nethanel the fifth,
Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh and Peullethai the eighth; God had indeed blessed him.
Also to his son Shemaiah sons were born who ruled over the house of their father, for they were mighty men of valor.
The sons of Shemaiah were Othni, Rephael, Obed, and Elzabad, whose brothers, Elihu and Semachiah, were men of valor.
All these were of the sons of Obed-edom; they and their sons and their [c]relatives were valiant men with strength for the service, sixty-two from Obed-edom.
Meshelemiah had sons and relatives, eighteen men of valor.
10 Also (B)Hosah, one of the sons of Merari had sons:
Shimri the first (although he was not the firstborn, his father made him first),
11 Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third, Zechariah the fourth; all the sons and relatives of Hosah were thirteen.

12 To these divisions of the gatekeepers, the chief men, were given responsibilities like their relatives to minister in the house of Yahweh. 13 (C)And they cast lots, the small and the great alike, according to their fathers’ households, for every gate. 14 And the lot to the east fell to [d]Shelemiah. Then they cast lots for his son Zechariah, a counselor with insight, and his lot came out to the north. 15 For Obed-edom it fell to the south, and to his sons went the house of storerooms. 16 For Shuppim and Hosah it was to the west, by the gate of Shallecheth, on the ascending highway. Guard corresponded to guard. 17 On the east there were six Levites, on the north four daily, on the south four daily, and at the storerooms two by two. 18 At the [e](D)Parbar on the west there were four at the highway and two at the Parbar. 19 These were the divisions of the gatekeepers of the sons of Korah and of the sons of Merari.

Caring for the Holy Treasure

20 [f]As for the Levites, Ahijhah was (E)over the treasures of the house of God and of the treasures of the holy gifts. 21 The sons of Ladan, the sons of the Gershonites belonging to Ladan, namely, the Jehielites, were the heads of the fathers’ households, belonging to Ladan the Gershonite.

22 The sons of Jehieli, Zetham, and Joel his brother, were over the treasures of the house of Yahweh. 23 As for the Amramites, the Izharites, the Hebronites and the Uzzielites, 24 Shebuel the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, was officer over the treasures. 25 And his relatives by Eliezer were Rehabiah his son, Jeshaiah his son, Joram his son, Zichri his son, and Shelomoth his son. 26 This Shelomoth and his relatives were over all the treasures of the holy gifts (F)which King David and the heads of the fathers’ households, the commanders of thousands and hundreds, and the commanders of the army, had set apart as holy. 27 They set apart as holy part of what was won in battles and part of the spoil to repair the house of Yahweh. 28 And all that Samuel the seer had set apart as holy and Saul the son of Kish, Abner the son of Ner, and Joab the son of Zeruiah, everyone who had set apart anything as holy, all of this was [g]in the care of [h]Shelomoth and his relatives.

Administrators of Outside Work

29 As for the Izharites, Chenaniah and his sons (G)were assigned to the outside work for Israel, as (H)officers and judges. 30 As for the Hebronites, (I)Hashabiah and his relatives, 1,700 men of valor, were over the administration of Israel across the Jordan to the west, for all the work of Yahweh and the service of the king. 31 As for the Hebronites, (J)Jerijah the chief [i](these Hebronites were investigated according to their generations and fathers’ households, in the fortieth year of David’s reign, and mighty men of valor were found among them at (K)Jazer of Gilead) 32 and his relatives, men of valor, were 2,700 in number, heads of fathers’ households. And King David made them overseers of the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of the Manassites (L)concerning [j]all the affairs of God and of the king.

The Gatekeepers

26 Concerning the divisions of the gatekeepers: of the Korahites, [a]Meshelemiah the son of (A)Kore, of the sons of [b]Asaph. And the sons of Meshelemiah were (B)Zechariah the firstborn, Jediael the second, Zebadiah the third, Jathniel the fourth, Elam the fifth, Jehohanan the sixth, Eliehoenai the seventh.

Moreover the sons of (C)Obed-Edom were Shemaiah the firstborn, Jehozabad the second, Joah the third, Sacar the fourth, Nethanel the fifth, Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, Peulthai the eighth; for God blessed him.

Also to Shemaiah his son were sons born who governed their fathers’ houses, because they were men of great ability. The sons of Shemaiah were Othni, Rephael, Obed, and Elzabad, whose brothers Elihu and Semachiah were able men.

All these were of the sons of Obed-Edom, they and their sons and their brethren, (D)able men with strength for the work: sixty-two of Obed-Edom.

And Meshelemiah had sons and brethren, eighteen able men.

10 Also (E)Hosah, of the children of Merari, had sons: Shimri the first (for though he was not the firstborn, his father made him the first), 11 Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third, Zechariah the fourth; all the sons and brethren of Hosah were thirteen.

12 Among these were the divisions of the gatekeepers, among the chief men, having duties just like their brethren, to serve in the house of the Lord. 13 And they (F)cast lots for each gate, the small as well as the great, according to their father’s house. 14 The lot for the East Gate fell to [c]Shelemiah. Then they cast lots for his son Zechariah, a wise counselor, and his lot came out for the North Gate; 15 to Obed-Edom the South Gate, and to his sons the [d]storehouse. 16 To Shuppim and Hosah the lot came out for the West Gate, with the Shallecheth Gate on the (G)ascending highway—watchman opposite watchman. 17 On the east were six Levites, on the north four each day, on the south four each day, and for the [e]storehouse two by two. 18 As for the [f]Parbar on the west, there were four on the highway and two at the Parbar. 19 These were the divisions of the gatekeepers among the sons of Korah and among the sons of Merari.

The Treasuries and Other Duties

20 Of the Levites, Ahijah was (H)over the treasuries of the house of God and over the treasuries of the (I)dedicated[g] things. 21 The sons of [h]Laadan, the descendants of the Gershonites of Laadan, heads of their fathers’ houses, of Laadan the Gershonite: [i]Jehieli. 22 The sons of Jehieli, Zetham and Joel his brother, were over the treasuries of the house of the Lord. 23 Of the (J)Amramites, the Izharites, the Hebronites, and the Uzzielites: 24 (K)Shebuel the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, was overseer of the treasuries. 25 And his brethren by Eliezer were Rehabiah his son, Jeshaiah his son, Joram his son, Zichri his son, and (L)Shelomith his son.

26 This Shelomith and his brethren were over all the treasuries of the dedicated things (M)which King David and the heads of fathers’ houses, the captains over thousands and hundreds, and the captains of the army, had dedicated. 27 Some of the [j]spoils won in battles they dedicated to maintain the house of the Lord. 28 And all that Samuel (N)the seer, Saul the son of Kish, Abner the son of Ner, and Joab the son of Zeruiah had dedicated, every dedicated thing, was under the hand of Shelomith and his brethren.

29 Of the Izharites, Chenaniah and his sons (O)performed duties as (P)officials and judges over Israel outside Jerusalem.

30 Of the Hebronites, (Q)Hashabiah and his brethren, one thousand seven hundred able men, had the oversight of Israel on the west side of the Jordan for all the business of the Lord, and in the service of the king. 31 Among the Hebronites, (R)Jerijah was head of the Hebronites according to his genealogy of the fathers. In the fortieth year of the reign of David they were sought, and there were found among them capable men (S)at Jazer of Gilead. 32 And his brethren were two thousand seven hundred able men, heads of fathers’ houses, whom King David made officials over the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, for every matter pertaining to God and the (T)affairs of the king.

Ang Pagkakabahagi ng mga Bantay ng Pinto

26 Sa pagkakabahagi ng mga bantay ng pinto: sa mga Korahita, si Meselemia na anak ni Kora, sa mga anak ni Asaf.

Si Meselemia ay nagkaroon ng mga anak na lalaki: si Zacarias ang panganay, si Jediael ang ikalawa, si Zebadias ang ikatlo, si Jatnael ang ikaapat;

si Elam ang ikalima, si Jehohanan ang ikaanim, si Eliehoenai ang ikapito.

Si(A) Obed-edom ay nagkaroon ng mga anak: si Shemaya ang panganay, si Jehozabad ang ikalawa, si Joah ang ikatlo, si Sacar ang ikaapat, at si Natanael ang ikalima,

si Amiel ang ikaanim, si Isacar ang ikapito, si Peulletai ang ikawalo; sapagkat pinagpala siya ng Diyos.

Gayundin kay Shemaya na kanyang anak ay ipinanganak ang mga lalaking namuno sa sambahayan ng kanilang mga ninuno, sapagkat sila'y mga lalaking may malaking kakayahan.

Ang mga anak ni Shemaya: sina Othni, Rephael, Obed, at Elzabad, na ang mga kapatid ay magigiting na lalaki, sina Elihu at Samacias.

Lahat ng mga ito'y sa mga anak ni Obed-edom: sila at ang kanilang mga anak at ang kanilang mga kapatid, mga bihasang lalaking naaangkop sa paglilingkod; animnapu't dalawa kay Obed-edom.

Si Meselemia ay nagkaroon ng mga anak at mga kapatid na magigiting na lalaki, labingwalo.

10 Si Hosa naman sa mga anak ni Merari ay nagkaroon ng mga anak na lalaki; si Simri ang pinuno (kahit na hindi siya panganay, ginawa siyang pinuno ng kanyang ama).

11 Si Hilkias ang ikalawa, si Tebelias ang ikatlo, si Zacarias ang ikaapat; lahat ng mga anak at mga kapatid ni Hosa ay labintatlo.

12 Sa mga ito ang mga bahagi ng mga bantay-pinto, samakatuwid ay mga pinuno na may mga katungkulang gaya ng kanilang mga kapatid na namamahala sa bahay ng Panginoon.

13 Sila'y nagpalabunutan, ayon sa mga sambahayan ng kanilang mga ninuno, hamak man o dakila, para sa kani-kanilang pinto.

14 Ang palabunutan para sa dakong silangan ay napunta kay Shelemias. Nagpalabunutan din sila para kay Zacarias na kanyang anak na isang matalinong tagapayo at ang nabunot para sa kanya ay ang dakong hilaga.

15 Ang kay Obed-edom ay ang dakong timog; at sa kanyang mga anak ay ang kamalig.

16 Kay Suppim at kay Hosa ay ang dakong kanluran, sa tabi ng pintuang-daan ng Sallechet, sa daang paahon. Bawat tanod ay may katuwang na tanod.

17 Sa dakong silangan ay anim na Levita, sa dakong hilaga ay apat araw-araw, sa dakong timog ay apat araw-araw, at sa kamalig ay dala-dalawa.

18 Sa parbar[a] sa dakong kanluran, apat sa daanan, at dalawa sa parbar.

19 Ito ang mga bahagi ng mga bantay ng pinto sa mga Korahita, at sa mga anak ni Merari.

Ang Tagapamahala ng Kayamanan sa Templo

20 Sa mga Levita, si Ahias ang namahala sa mga kayamanan ng bahay ng Diyos at sa mga kayamanan ng mga itinalagang bagay.

21 Ang mga anak ni Ladan, ang mga anak ng mga Gershonita na nauukol kay Ladan; ang mga pinuno ng mga sambahayan ng mga ninuno na ukol kay Ladan na Gershonita; si Jehieli.

22 Ang mga anak ni Jehieli: sina Zetam at Joel na kanyang kapatid ang nangasiwa sa mga kabang-yaman ng bahay ng Panginoon.

23 Sa mga Amramita, sa mga Izarita, sa mga Hebronita, sa mga Uzielita—

24 at si Sebuel na anak ni Gershom, na anak ni Moises, ay punong-tagapamahala sa mga kabang-yaman.

25 Ang kanyang mga kapatid mula kay Eliezer ay si Rehabias na kanyang anak, at si Jeshaias na kanyang anak, si Joram na kanyang anak, si Zicri na kanyang anak, at si Shelomot na kanyang anak.

26 Ang Shelomot na ito at ang kanyang mga kapatid ang namahala sa lahat ng kabang-yaman na nakatalagang bagay na itinalaga ni Haring David, at ng mga pinuno ng mga sambahayan ng mga magulang, ng mga pinunong-kawal ng libu-libo at ng daan-daan, at ng mga pinunong-kawal ng hukbo.

27 Mula sa mga samsam na pinanalunan sa pakikidigma ay kanilang itinalaga ang mga kaloob upang mapanatiling maayos ang bahay ng Panginoon.

28 Gayundin ang lahat ng itinalaga ni Samuel na tagakita at ni Saul na anak ni Kish, at ni Abner na anak ni Ner, at ni Joab na anak ni Zeruia; ang lahat ng mga itinalagang kaloob ay nasa ilalim ng pag-iingat ni Shelomot at ng kanyang mga kapatid.

29 Sa mga Izarita, si Kenanias at ang kanyang mga anak na lalaki ay itinalaga sa mga panlabas na tungkulin para sa Israel, bilang mga pinuno at mga hukom.

30 Sa mga Hebronita, si Hashabias at ang kanyang mga kapatid na mga magigiting na lalaki, na isang libo't pitong daan, ay namahala sa Israel sa dako roon ng Jordan sa dakong kanluran na ukol sa lahat ng gawain sa Panginoon, at sa paglilingkod sa hari.

31 Sa mga Hebronita, si Jerias ang pinuno sa mga Hebronita, mula sa anumang salinlahi o mga sambahayan. Nang ikaapatnapung taon ng paghahari ni David, nagkaroon ng pagsisiyasat at may natagpuan sa kanilang magigiting na lalaki sa Jazer ng Gilead.

32 Ang kanyang mga kapatid na mga magigiting na lalaki ay dalawang libo at pitong daan, mga pinuno ng mga sambahayan na siyang ginawa ni David na mga tagapamahala sa mga Rubenita, sa mga Gadita, at sa kalahating lipi ng mga Manases, sa lahat ng bagay na ukol sa Diyos, at sa mga bagay na ukol sa hari.
