1 Ljetopisa 23
1 Ostarjevši i nauživši se dana, postavi David svoga sina Salomona kraljem nad Izraelom.
And David was old and full of days; and he made Solomon his son king over Israel in his stead.
2 Potom skupi sve izraelske knezove, svećenike i levite.
And he assembled all the chief men of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites.
3 On izbroji levite od trideset godina naviše, i bilo ih je po muškim glavama trideset i osam tisuća.
And the Levites numbered [themselves] from thirty years old and upward; and their number by their polls amounted to thirty and eight thousand men.
4 Između njih bilo je dvadeset i četiri tisuće onih koji su upravljali poslom oko Jahvina Doma, a šest tisuća nadzornika i sudaca,
Of the overseers over the works of the house of the Lord [there were] twenty-four thousand, and [there were] six thousand scribes and judges;
5 četiri tisuće vratara i četiri tisuće onih koji su hvalili Jahvu uz glazbala što ih je napravio za hvalu.
and four thousand door-keepers, and four thousand to praise the Lord with instruments which he made to praise the Lord.
6 David ih razdijeli na redove po Levijevim sinovima: Geršonu, Kehatu i Merariju.
And David divided them [into] daily courses, for the sons of Levi, for Gedson, Caath, and Merari.

And to the sons of Semei, Jeth, and Ziza, and Joas, and Beria: these [were] the four sons of Semei.
11 Jahat je bio poglavar, a drugi Ziza; a Jeuš i Berija nisu imali mnogo djece, zato su se brojili u jednu obitelj, u jedan razred.
And Jeth was the chief, and Ziza the second: and Joas and Beria did not multiply sons, and they became [only] one reckoning according to the house of their father.
12 Kehatovi sinovi: Amram, Jishar, Hebron i Uziel, četvorica.
The sons of Caath; Ambram, Isaar, Chebron, Oziel, four.

The sons of Ambram; Aaron and Moses: and Aaron was appointed for the consecration of the most holy things, he and his sons for ever, to burn incense before the Lord, to minister and bless in his name for ever.

These [are] the sons of Levi according to the houses of their fathers; chiefs of their families according to their numbering, according to the number of their names, according to their polls, doing the works of service of the house of the Lord, from twenty years old and upward.
25 David je rekao: “Jahve, Izraelov Bog, dao je mir svojem narodu i živjet će u Jeruzalemu zauvijek.
For David said, The Lord God of Israel has given rest to his people, and has taken up his abode in Jerusalem for ever.
26 Zato ni leviti neće više nositi Prebivališta ni svakovrsnog pribora za njegovu službu.”
And the Levites bore not the tabernacle, and all the vessels of it for its service.
27 Po posljednjim Davidovim riječima, bili su izbrojeni Levijevi sinovi od dvadeset godina naviše.
For by the last words of David was the number of the Levites [taken] from twenty years old and upward.
28 Bili su određeni da budu kraj Aronovih sinova u službi u Jahvinu Domu, u predvorjima i u dvoranama, da čiste sve svete stvari, da rade u službi oko Jahvina Doma,
For he appointed them to wait on Aaron, to minister in the house of the Lord, over the courts, and over the chambers, and over the purification of all the holy things, and over the works of the service of the house of God;
29 oko prinesenih hljebova, oko sitnog brašna za prinos, oko beskvasnih kolača pripravljenih na tavi i u ulju zamiješenih i oko mjera za sadržaj i dužinu;
and for the shew-bread, and for the fine flour of the meat-offering, and for the unleavened cakes, and for the fried cake, and for the dough, and for every measure;
30 da pristupaju svakoga jutra, da slave i hvale Jahvu; tako i večerom.
and to stand in the morning to praise and give thanks to the Lord, and so in the evening;
31 A kad se god prinose paljenice Jahvi, subotom, za mlađaka i na blagdane, da dolaze prema svom broju, po svom redu, svagdje pred Jahvu.
and [to be] over all the whole-burnt-offerings that were offered up to the Lord on the sabbaths, and at the new moons, and at the feasts, by number, according to the order [given] to them, continually before the Lord.
32 I da vrše što treba vršiti u Šatoru sastanka, službu u Svetištu i službu za svoju braću, Aronove sinove, u službi oko Jahvina Doma.
And they are to keep the charge of the tabernacle of witness, and the charge of the holy place, and the charges of the sons of Aaron their brethren, to minister in the house of the Lord.
