1 Da: ibidi da da: idafa hamonoba, e da egefe Soloumane da Isala: ili fi ilia hina bagade hamoi.
Now David was old and full of days; and he made Solomon his son king over Israel.
2 Hina bagade Da: ibidi da Isala: ili fi ouligisu dunu amola gobele salasu dunu amola Lifai fi dunu huluane gilisi.
And he gathered together all the leaders of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.
3 E da Lifai fi dunumusu amo da ode 30 agoane lalelegele esalu, amola ode 30 baligi, amo idimusa: ilia dio dedei. Ili idi da 38,000 agoane ba: i.
The Levites were numbered from thirty years old and upward: and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty-eight thousand.
4 Da: ibidi da ilima hawa: hamosu agoane ilelegei. Dunu 24,000 agoane da Debolo Diasu ouligima: ne ilelegei. Dunu 6,000 agoane da dawa: musa: dedene legesu ouligima: ne amola sia: ga gegesu fofada: su ouligima: ne ilelegei. Dunu 4,000 agoane da sosodo aligisu ouligima: ne ilelegei. Dunu 4,000 agoane da gesami hea: sa dusu liligi amo Da: ibidi ea i, amoga Hina Godema nodoma: ne ilelegei.
David said, "Of these, twenty-four thousand were to oversee the work of the house of Jehovah; six thousand were officers and judges;
four thousand were doorkeepers; and four thousand praised Jehovah with the instruments which I made, for giving praise."
6 Da: ibidi da gilisisu udiana hamoma: ne, Lifai fi dunu momogi. Amo gilisisu udiana da Gesione sosogo, Gouha: de sosogo amola Milalai sosogo.
David divided them into divisions according to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
7 Gesione ea mano aduna da La: ida: ne amola Simiai.
Of the Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei.
8 La: ida: ne ea mano udiana da Yihaiele, Sida: me amola Youele.
The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the chief, and Zetham, and Joel, three.
9 Simiai ea mano udiana da Siloumidi, Ha: isiele amola Ha: ila: ne. (Ilia da La: ida: ne egaga fi ilima fada: i dunu esafulu)
The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the heads of the ancestral houses of Ladan.
10 Simiai ea mano biyaduale da Ya: iha: de (magobo mano), Saina, Yeuse amola Bilaia da (ufi mano). Yeuese amola Bilaia elagaga fi da bagahameba: le, ela gilisili sosogo afae fawane idi.
The sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zizah, and Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.
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.
12 Gouha: de ea mano biyaduale da A: mala: me, Aisiha, Hibalone amola Asaiele.
The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.
13 Ea magobo dunu mano da A: mala: me. A: mala: me, egefela da Elane amola Mousese. (Elane amola egaga fi, ilia hawa: hamosu da agoane ilegei. Ilia da Hina Godema nodone sia: ne gadomusa: hadigi liligi amo ouligimu, Godema nodoma: ne gabusiga: manoma gobele salimu, Ea hawa: hamomu, amola Isala: ili dunuma Hina Gode Ea Dioba: le hahawane dogolegele hou imunu, amo huluane hamoma: ne ilegei dagoi.
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 Jehovah, to minister to him, and to bless in his name, forever.
14 Be Gode Ea hawa: hamosu dunu Mousesegefela, da Lifai fi amo ganodini idi.)
But as for Moses the man of God, his sons were named among the tribe of Levi.
15 Mousese egefela da Gesiome amola Elia: isa.
The sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.
16 Gesiome ea magobo mano da Sibiuele.
The sons of Gershom: Shubael the chief.

The sons of Eliezer were: Rehabiah the chief; and Eliezer had no other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.
18 Gouha: de magobo bagia dunu mano da Aisiha. Aisiha egefe da Siloumidi. E da ea sosogo fi ilima fada: i galu.
The sons of Izhar: Shelomoth the chief.

22 Elia: isa da dunu mano hamedene, bogoi. E da uda manomusu galu. Ea uda manoni da ilia elafi (Gisia egefelali) ilima fi.
Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters only: and their brothers the sons of Kish took them as wives.
23 Milalai egefe magobo bagia amo Miusiai egefelali da Malai, Ide amola Yelimode.
The sons of Mushi: Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three.
24 Amo dunu huluane da Lifai egaga fifi misi. Ili huluane da ilia dio amola ilia sosogo fi defele, dedene legei ba: i. Lifai egaga fi dunu amo da ode 20 amola baligi, ilia huluane afae afae da Hina Gode Ea Debolo Diasu ganodini hawa: hamonanu.
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 Jehovah, from twenty years old and upward.
25 Da: ibidi da amane sia: i, “Isala: ili fi ilia Hina Gode da Ea fi ilima olofosu i dagoi. Amola Hisu da Yelusaleme ganodini eso huluane esalalalumu.
For David said, "Jehovah, the God of Israel, has given rest to his people; and he dwells in Jerusalem forever.
26 Amaiba: le, Lifai fi dunu ilia da Hina Gode Ea Hadigi Abula Diasu amola liligi Godema nodone sia: ne gadomusa: hamoi, amo gaguli masunu hawa: hamosu da hame gala.”
Also the Levites will no longer need to carry the tabernacle and all its vessels for its service."
27 Da: ibidi ea dagomusa: gini hamoma: ne sia: beba: le, Lifai dunu huluane da ilia lalelegei ode 20 amoga doaga: loba, hawa: hamoma: ne dedene legei.
For by the last words of David the sons of Levi were numbered, from twenty years old and upward.
28 - Ilia da amo hawa: hamoma: ne ilegei: - (a) Elane egaga fi gobele salasu dunu, ilia Debolo Diasu ganodini Godema nodone sia: ne gadosu, amo fidima: ne ilegei.

Amola ilia da ilia fi dunu amo Elane egaga fi gobele salasu dunu, amo ilia Debolo ganodini Godema nodone sia: ne gadosu hou fidima: ne, Lifai fi da ilegei dagoi ba: i.
For their office was to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of Jehovah, 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,
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;
and to stand every morning to thank and praise Jehovah, and likewise in the evening;
and to offer all burnt offerings to Jehovah, on the Sabbaths, on the new moons, and on the set feasts, in number according to the ordinance concerning them, continually before Jehovah;
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 Jehovah.
