1 أخبار 23
| وَعِنْدَمَا شَاخَ دَاوُدُ نَصَّبَ ابْنَهُ سُلَيْمَانَ مَلِكاً عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، | ١ 1 |
Now David was old and full of days; and he made Solomon his son king over Israel.
| وَاسْتَدْعَى إِلَيْهِ كُلَّ قَادَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَالْكَهَنَةَ وَاللّاوِيِّينَ. | ٢ 2 |
And he gathered together all the leaders of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.
| وَكَانَ عَدَدُ اللّاوِيِّينَ الْمُحْصَيْنَ مِنِ ابْنِ ثَلاثِينَ فَمَا فَوْقُ ثَمَانِيَةً وَثَلاثِينَ أَلْفاً، | ٣ 3 |
The Levites were numbered from thirty years old and upward: and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty-eight thousand.
| أَشْرَفَ أَرْبَعَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ أَلْفاً مِنْهُمْ عَلَى الْعَمَلِ فِي بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ، وَسِتَّةُ آلافٍ كَانُوا نُظَّاراً وَقُضَاةً، | ٤ 4 |
David said, "Of these, twenty-four thousand were to oversee the work of the house of YHWH; six thousand were officers and judges;
| وَأَرْبَعَةُ آلافٍ قَامُوا بِحِرَاسَةِ الْبَيْتِ، وَأَرْبَعَةُ آلافٍ لِتَسْبِيحِ الرَّبِّ وَالْعَزْفِ عَلَى الآلاتِ الْمُوسِيقِيَّةِ الْمُرَافِقَةِ لِلتَّسْبِيحِ. | ٥ 5 |
four thousand were doorkeepers; and four thousand praised YHWH with the instruments which I made, for giving praise."
| وَقَسَمَهُمْ دَاوُدُ إِلَى ثَلاثِ فِرَقٍ، بِحَسَبِ أَسْمَاءِ أَبْنَاءِ لاوِي: فِرْقَةُ الْجَرْشُونِيِّينَ، وَفِرْقَةُ الْقَهَاتِيِّينَ، وَفِرْقَةُ الْمَرَارِيِّينَ. | ٦ 6 |
David divided them into divisions according to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
| وَمِنَ الْجَرْشُونِيِّينَ: لَعْدَانُ وَشَمْعِي. | ٧ 7 |
Of the Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei.
| وَأَبْنَاءُ لَعْدَانَ ثَلاثَةٌ: يَحِيئِيلُ الْبِكْرُ، ثُمَّ زِيثَامُ وَيُوئِيلُ. | ٨ 8 |
The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the chief, and Zetham, and Joel, three.
| وَأَبْنَاءُ شَمْعِي ثَلاثَةٌ: شَلُومِيثُ وَحَزِيئِيلُ وَهَارَانُ. وَجَمِيعُ هَؤُلاءِ كَانُوا رُؤُوسَ آبَاءِ عَائِلاتِ لَعْدَانَ. | ٩ 9 |
The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the heads of the ancestral houses of Ladan.
| وَكَانَ لِشَمْعِي أَرْبَعَةُ أَبْنَاءٍ آخَرَينَ هُمْ: يَحَثُ وَزِينَا وَيَعُوشُ وَبَرِيعَةُ. | ١٠ 10 |
The sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zizah, and Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.
| وَكَانَ يَحَثُ كَبِيرَهُمْ وَزِينَا الثَّانِي، أَمَّا يَعُوشُ وَبَرِيعَةُ فَلَمْ يُنْجِبَا أَبْنَاءً كَثِيرِينَ، فَاعْتُبِرُوا عِنْدَ إِجْرَاءِ الإِحْصَاءِ عَائِلَةً وَاحِدَةً. | ١١ 11 |
Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second: but Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons; therefore they became a fathers' house in one reckoning.
| أَمَّا أَبْناءُ قَهَاتَ فَهُمْ أَرْبَعَةٌ: عَمْرَامُ وَيِصْهَارُ وَحَبْرُونُ وَعُزِّيئِيلُ. | ١٢ 12 |
The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.
| وَأَبْنَاءُ عَمْرَامَ: هرُونُ وَمُوسَى. وَأُفْرِزَ هرُونُ وَذُرِّيَّتُهُ لِيَقُومُوا عَلَى خِدْمَةِ قُدْسِ الأَقْدَاسِ وَلِيُوْقِدُوا أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ، وَخِدْمَةِ الرَّبِّ وَمُبَارَكَةِ الشَّعْبِ بِاسْمِهِ، إِلَى الأَبَدِ. | ١٣ 13 |
The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses; and Aaron was separated, that he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons, forever, to burn incense before YHWH, to minister to him, and to bless in his name, forever.
| أَمَّا أَبْنَاءُ مُوسَى رَجُلِ اللهِ فَأُحْصُوا مَعَ سِبْطِ لاوِي. | ١٤ 14 |
But as for Moses the man of God, his sons were named among the tribe of Levi.
| وَكَانَ لِمُوسَى ابْنَانِ هُمَا: جَرْشُومُ وَأَلِيعَزَرُ. | ١٥ 15 |
The sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.
| وَكَبِيرُ أَبْنَاءِ جَرْشُومَ هُوَ شَبُوئِيلُ. | ١٦ 16 |
The sons of Gershom: Shubael the chief.
| أَمَّا أَلِيعَزَرُ فَلَمْ يُنْجِبْ سِوَى ابْنٍ وَاحِدٍ هُوَ رَحَبْيَا، وَقَدْ وُلِدَ لِرَحَبْيَا أَبْنَاءٌ كَثِيرُونَ جِدّاً. | ١٧ 17 |
The sons of Eliezer were: Rehabiah the chief; and Eliezer had no other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.
| وَكَانَ شَلُومِيثُ كَبِيرَ أَبْنَاءِ يِصْهَارَ. | ١٨ 18 |
The sons of Izhar: Shelomoth the chief.
| وَأَبْنَاءُ حَبْرُونَ: يَرِيَّا الْبِكْرُ، وَأَمَرْيَا الثَّانِي، وَيَحْزِيئِيلُ الثَّالِثُ، وَيَقْمَعَامُ الرَّابِعُ. | ١٩ 19 |
The sons of Hebron: Jeriah the chief, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
| وَابْنَا عُزِّيئِيلَ: مِيخَا الْبِكْرُ وَيَشِّيَّا الثَّانِي. | ٢٠ 20 |
The sons of Uzziel: Micah the chief, and Isshiah the second.
| وَابْنَا مَرَارِي: مَحْلِي وَمُوشِي. وَأَنْجَبَ مَحْلِي أَلِعَازَارَ وَقَيْسَ. | ٢١ 21 |
The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.
| وَمَاتَ أَلِعَازَارُ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يُعْقِبَ أَبْنَاءً بَلْ بَنَاتٍ، فَتَزَوَّجَ أَبْنَاءَ عَمِّهِنَّ مِنْهُنَّ. | ٢٢ 22 |
Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters only: and their brothers the sons of Kish took them as wives.
| وَأَبْنَاءُ مُوشِي ثَلاثَةٌ مَحْلِي وَعَادِرُ وَيَرِيمُوثُ. | ٢٣ 23 |
The sons of Mushi: Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three.
| هَؤُلاءِ هُمْ أَبْنَاءُ لاوِي بِحَسَبِ انْتِمَائِهِمْ إِلَى بُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ، وَهُمْ رُؤُوسُ عَائِلاتِهِمْ، كَمَا تَمَّ تَسْجِيلُهُمْ بِحَسَبِ أَسْمَائِهِمْ، وَأُحْصُوا مِنِ ابْنِ عِشْرِينَ فَمَا فَوْقُ لِيَقُومُوا بِالْعَمَلِ الْمُحَدَّدِ لَهُمْ فِي خِدْمَةِ الْهَيْكَلِ، | ٢٤ 24 |
These were the sons of Levi after their fathers' houses, even the heads of ancestral houses of those who were counted individually, in the number of names by their polls, who do the work for the service of the house of YHWH, from twenty years old and upward.
| لأَنَّ دَاوُدَ قَالَ: «لَقَدْ أَرَاحَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ شَعْبَهُ فَسَكَنَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، | ٢٥ 25 |
For David said, "YHWH, the God of Israel, has given rest to his people; and he dwells in Jerusalem forever.
| لِهَذَا لَنْ يَعُودَ اللّاوِيُّونَ يَنْتَقِلُونَ بِالْخَيْمَةِ وَآنِيَتِهَا مِنْ مَكَانٍ إِلَى آخَرَ». | ٢٦ 26 |
Also the Levites will no longer need to carry the tabernacle and all its vessels for its service."
| لأَنَّهُ تَمَّ إِحْصَاءُ اللّاوِيِّينَ مِنِ ابْنِ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً فَمَا فَوْقُ بِمُوْجِبِ أَمْرِ دَاوُدَ الأَخِيرِ. | ٢٧ 27 |
For by the last words of David the sons of Levi were numbered, from twenty years old and upward.
| فَرَاحُوا، تَحْتَ إِشْرَافِ أَبْنَاءِ هرُونَ، يَقُومُونَ بِخِدْمَةِ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ وَالاعْتِنَاءِ بِالدُّورِ وَالْحُجُرَاتِ، وَالْمُحَافَظَةِ عَلَى قُدْسِيَّةِ مُقَدَّسَاتِهِ وَالاهْتِمَامِ بِسَائِرِ مُتَطَلَّبَاتِ خِدْمَةِ الْهَيْكَلِ، | ٢٨ 28 |
For their office was to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of YHWH, in the courts, and in the rooms, and in the purifying of all holy things, even the work of the service of God's house,
| مِنْ تَحْضِيرِ خُبْزِ الْوُجُوهِ، وَدَقِيقِ التَّقْدِمَاتِ وَرِقَاقِ الْفَطِيرِ وَمَا يُخْبَزُ عَلَى الصَّاجِ، وَالدَّقِيقِ الْمَعْجُونِ بِالزَّيْتِ، وَمُرَاقَبَةِ الْمَقَايِيسِ وَالْمَوَازِينِ، | ٢٩ 29 |
involving the show bread, the fine flour for a meal offering, whether of unleavened wafers, or of that which is baked in the pan, or of that which is soaked, and for all kinds of measure and size;
| فَضْلاً عَنِ الْقِيَامِ بِإِزْجَاءِ الْحَمْدِ لِلرَّبِّ وَتَسْبِيحِهِ بُكْرَةً وَعَشِيَّةً، | ٣٠ 30 |
and to stand every morning to thank and praise YHWH, and likewise in the evening;
| وَالْمُسَاعَدَةِ فِي تَقْرِيبِ مُحْرَقَاتٍ لِلرَّبِّ فِي أَيَّامِ السَّبْتِ وَمَطَالِعِ الشُّهُورِ الْقَمَرِيَّةِ وَمَوَاسِمِ الأَعْيَادِ. وَكَانَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَنْ يَخْدِمُوا الرَّبَّ بِصُورَةٍ مُنْتَظِمَةٍ بِأَعْدَادٍ تَتَنَاسَبُ مَعَ الْخَدَمَاتِ الْمُعَيَّنَةِ لَهُمْ، | ٣١ 31 |
and to offer all burnt offerings to YHWH, on the Sabbaths, on the new moons, and on the set feasts, in number according to the ordinance concerning them, continually before YHWH;
| وَلِحِرَاسَةِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ وَالْقُدْسِ، وَتَحْتَ إِشْرَافِ أَبْنَاءِ ذُرِّيَّةِ هرُونَ أَقْرِبَائِهِمِ الْقَائِمِينَ بِخِدْمَةِ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ. | ٣٢ 32 |
and that they should keep the duty of the Tent of Meeting, and the duty of the holy place, and the duty of the sons of Aaron their brothers, for the service of the house of YHWH.
