26 Am ddosbarthiad y porthorion: O’r Corhiaid yr oedd Meselemia mab Core, o feibion Asaff. A meibion Meselemia oedd, Sechareia y cyntaf‐anedig, Jediael yr ail, Sebadeia y trydydd, Jathniel y pedwerydd, Elam y pumed, Jehohanan y chweched, Elioenai y seithfed. A meibion Obed‐edom; Semaia y cyntaf‐anedig, Jehosabad yr ail, Joa y trydydd, a Sachar y pedwerydd, a Nethaneel y pumed, Ammiel y chweched, Issachar y seithfed, Peulthai yr wythfed: canys Duw a’i bendithiodd ef. Ac i Semaia ei fab ef y ganwyd meibion, y rhai a arglwyddiaethasant ar dŷ eu tad: canys cedyrn o nerth oeddynt hwy. Meibion Semaia; Othni, a Reffael, ac Obed, Elsabad; ei frodyr ef oedd wŷr nerthol, sef Elihu, a Semacheia. Y rhai hyn oll o feibion Obed‐edom: hwynt‐hwy, a’u meibion, a’u brodyr, yn wŷr nerthol mewn cryfder, tuag at y weinidogaeth, oedd drigain a dau o Obed‐edom. Ac i Meselemia, yn feibion ac yn frodyr, yr oedd tri ar bymtheg o wŷr nerthol. 10 O Hosa hefyd, o feibion Merari, yr oedd meibion; Simri y pennaf, (er nad oedd efe gyntaf‐anedig, eto ei dad a’i gosododd ef yn ben;) 11 Hilceia yr ail, Tebaleia y trydydd, Sechareia y pedwerydd: holl feibion a brodyr Hosa oedd dri ar ddeg. 12 Ymhlith y rhai hyn yr oedd dosbarthiadau y porthorion, sef ymhlith y penaethiaid, ac iddynt oruchwyliaeth ar gyfer eu brodyr i wasanaethu yn nhŷ yr Arglwydd.

13 A hwy a fwriasant goelbrennau, fychan a mawr, yn ôl tŷ eu tadau, am bob porth. 14 A choelbren Selemeia a syrthiodd tua’r dwyrain: a thros Sechareia ei fab, cynghorwr deallgar, y bwriasant hwy goelbrennau; a’i goelbren ef a ddaeth tua’r gogledd. 15 I Obed‐edom tua’r deau, ac i’w feibion, y daeth tŷ Asuppim. 16 I Suppim, a Hosa, tua’r gorllewin, gyda phorth Salecheth, yn ffordd y rhiw, yr oedd y naill oruchwyliaeth ar gyfer y llall. 17 Tua’r dwyrain yr oedd chwech o Lefiaid, tua’r gogledd pedwar beunydd, tua’r deau pedwar beunydd, a thuag Asuppim dau a dau. 18 A Pharbar tua’r gorllewin, pedwar ar y ffordd, a dau yn Parbar. 19 Dyma ddosbarthiadau y porthorion, o feibion Core, ac o feibion Merari.

20 Ac o’r Lefiaid, Ahïa oedd ar drysorau tŷ Dduw, ac ar drysorau y pethau cysegredig. 21 Am feibion Laadan: meibion y Gersoniad Laadan, pennau tylwyth Laadan y Gersoniad, oedd Jehieli. 22 Meibion Jehieli; Setham, a Joel ei frawd, oedd ar drysorau tŷ yr Arglwydd. 23 O’r Amramiaid, a’r Ishariaid, o’r Hebroniaid, a’r Ussieliaid: 24 A Sebuel mab Gersom, mab Moses, oedd olygwr ar y trysorau. 25 A’i frodyr ef o Eleasar; Rehabia ei fab ef, a Jesaia ei fab yntau, a Joram ei fab yntau, a Sichri ei fab yntau, a Selomith ei fab yntau. 26 Y Selomith hwnnw a’i frodyr oedd ar holl drysorau y pethau cysegredig a gysegrasai Dafydd frenin, a’r tadau pennaf, a thywysogion y miloedd a’r cannoedd, a thywysogion y llu. 27 O’r rhyfeloedd ac o’r ysbail y cysegrasant bethau i gynnal tŷ yr Arglwydd. 28 A’r hyn oll a gysegrodd Samuel y gweledydd, a Saul mab Cis, ac Abner mab Ner, a Joab mab Serfia, a phwy bynnag a gysegrasai ddim, yr oedd efe dan law Selomith a’i frodyr.

29 O’r Ishariaid, Chenaneia a’i feibion oedd yn Israel yn swyddogion, ac yn farnwyr, ar y gwaith oddi allan. 30 O’r Hebroniaid, Hasabeia a’i frodyr, meibion nerthol, mil a saith gant, oedd mewn swydd yn Israel, o’r tu hwnt i’r Iorddonen tua’r gorllewin, yn holl waith yr Arglwydd, ac yng ngwasanaeth y brenin. 31 O’r Hebroniaid, Jereia oedd ben o’r Hebroniaid, yn ôl cenedlaethau ei dadau: yn y ddeugeinfed flwyddyn o deyrnasiad Dafydd y ceisiwyd hwynt, a chafwyd yn eu mysg hwy wŷr cryfion nerthol, yn Jaser Gilead. 32 A’i frodyr ef yn feibion nerthol oedd ddwy fil a saith gant o bennau‐cenedl: a Dafydd y brenin a’u gosododd hwynt ar y Reubeniaid, a’r Gadiaid, a hanner llwyth Manasse, ym mhob gorchwyl Duw, a gorchwyl y brenin.

The Gatekeepers

26 The divisions of the gatekeepers:(A)

From the Korahites: Meshelemiah son of Kore, one of the sons of Asaph.

Meshelemiah had sons:

Zechariah(B) the firstborn,

Jediael the second,

Zebadiah the third,

Jathniel the fourth,

Elam the fifth,

Jehohanan the sixth

and Eliehoenai the seventh.

Obed-Edom also had sons:

Shemaiah the firstborn,

Jehozabad the second,

Joah the third,

Sakar the fourth,

Nethanel the fifth,

Ammiel the sixth,

Issachar the seventh

and Peullethai the eighth.

(For God had blessed Obed-Edom.(C))

Obed-Edom’s son Shemaiah also had sons, who were leaders in their father’s family because they were very capable men. The sons of Shemaiah: Othni, Rephael, Obed and Elzabad; his relatives Elihu and Semakiah were also able men. All these were descendants of Obed-Edom; they and their sons and their relatives were capable men with the strength to do the work—descendants of Obed-Edom, 62 in all.

Meshelemiah had sons and relatives, who were able men—18 in all.

10 Hosah the Merarite had sons: Shimri the first (although he was not the firstborn, his father had appointed him the first),(D) 11 Hilkiah the second, Tabaliah the third and Zechariah the fourth. The sons and relatives of Hosah were 13 in all.

12 These divisions of the gatekeepers, through their leaders, had duties for ministering(E) in the temple of the Lord, just as their relatives had. 13 Lots(F) were cast for each gate, according to their families, young and old alike.

14 The lot for the East Gate(G) fell to Shelemiah.[a] Then lots were cast for his son Zechariah,(H) a wise counselor, and the lot for the North Gate fell to him. 15 The lot for the South Gate fell to Obed-Edom,(I) and the lot for the storehouse fell to his sons. 16 The lots for the West Gate and the Shalleketh Gate on the upper road fell to Shuppim and Hosah.

Guard was alongside of guard: 17 There were six Levites a day on the east, four a day on the north, four a day on the south and two at a time at the storehouse. 18 As for the court[b] to the west, there were four at the road and two at the court[c] itself.

19 These were the divisions of the gatekeepers who were descendants of Korah and Merari.(J)

The Treasurers and Other Officials

20 Their fellow Levites(K) were[d] in charge of the treasuries of the house of God and the treasuries for the dedicated things.(L)

21 The descendants of Ladan, who were Gershonites through Ladan and who were heads of families belonging to Ladan the Gershonite,(M) were Jehieli, 22 the sons of Jehieli, Zetham and his brother Joel. They were in charge of the treasuries(N) of the temple of the Lord.

23 From the Amramites, the Izharites, the Hebronites and the Uzzielites:(O)

24 Shubael,(P) a descendant of Gershom son of Moses, was the official in charge of the treasuries. 25 His relatives through Eliezer: Rehabiah his son, Jeshaiah his son, Joram his son, Zikri his son and Shelomith(Q) his son. 26 Shelomith and his relatives were in charge of all the treasuries for the things dedicated(R) by King David, by the heads of families who were the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds, and by the other army commanders. 27 Some of the plunder taken in battle they dedicated for the repair of the temple of the Lord. 28 And everything dedicated by Samuel the seer(S) and by Saul son of Kish, Abner son of Ner and Joab son of Zeruiah, and all the other dedicated things were in the care of Shelomith and his relatives.

29 From the Izharites: Kenaniah and his sons were assigned duties away from the temple, as officials and judges(T) over Israel.

30 From the Hebronites: Hashabiah(U) and his relatives—seventeen hundred able men—were responsible in Israel west of the Jordan for all the work of the Lord and for the king’s service. 31 As for the Hebronites,(V) Jeriah was their chief according to the genealogical records of their families. In the fortieth(W) year of David’s reign a search was made in the records, and capable men among the Hebronites were found at Jazer in Gilead. 32 Jeriah had twenty-seven hundred relatives, who were able men and heads of families, and King David put them in charge of the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh for every matter pertaining to God and for the affairs of the king.
