1 Ljetopisa 23
1 Ostarjevši i nauživši se dana, postavi David svoga sina Salomona kraljem nad Izraelom.
And David being old and full of days, made Solomon his son king over Israel.
2 Potom skupi sve izraelske knezove, svećenike i levite.
And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, and the priests and Levites.
3 On izbroji levite od trideset godina naviše, i bilo ih je po muškim glavama trideset i osam tisuća.
And the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty years, and upwards: and there were found of them thirty-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 these twenty-four thousand were chosen, and distributed unto the ministry of the house of the Lord: and six thousand were the overseers and judges.
5 četiri tisuće vratara i četiri tisuće onih koji su hvalili Jahvu uz glazbala što ih je napravio za hvalu.
Moreover four thousand were porters: and as many singers singing to the Lord with the instruments, which he had made to sing with.
6 David ih razdijeli na redove po Levijevim sinovima: Geršonu, Kehatu i Merariju.
And David distributed them into courses by the families of the sons of Levi, to wit, of Gerson, and of Caath, and of Merari.
7 Od Geršonova su koljena bili: Ladan i Šimej.
The sons of Gerson were Leedan and Semei.
8 Ladanovi sinovi: poglavari Jehiel, Zetam i Joel, njih trojica.
The sons of Leedan: the chief Jahiel, and Zethan, and Joel, three.
9 Šimejevi sinovi: Šelomit, Haziel i Haram, njih trojica; to su poglavari Ladanovih obitelji.
The sons of Semei: Salomith, and Hosiel, and Aran, three: these were the heads of the families of Leedan.
10 Šimejevi sinovi: Jahat, Zina, Jeuš i Berija. Ta su četvorica Šimejevi sinovi.
And the sons of Semei were Leheth, and Ziza, and Jaus, and Baria: these were the sons of Semei, four.
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 Leheth was the first, Ziza the second: but Jaus and Baria had not many children, and therefore they were counted in one family, and in one house.
12 Kehatovi sinovi: Amram, Jishar, Hebron i Uziel, četvorica.
The sons of Caath were Amram, and Isaar, Hebron, and Oziel, four.
13 Amramovi sinovi: Aron i Mojsije. Aron je bio određen da posvećuje Svetinju nad svetinjama; on i njegovi sinovi dovijeka da kade pred Jahvom, da mu služe i da blagoslivljaju u njegovo ime dovijeka.
The sons of Amram, Aaron, and Moses. And Aaron was separated to minister in the holy of holies, he and his sons for ever, and to burn incense before the Lord, according to his ceremonies, and to bless his name for ever.
14 Mojsije je bio Božji čovjek. Njegovi se sinovi broje u Levijevo pleme.
The sons also of Moses, the man of God, were numbered in the tribe of Levi.
15 Mojsijevi su sinovi Geršom i Eliezer.
The sons of Moses were Gersom and Eliezer:
16 Geršomovi sinovi: poglavar Šebuel.
The sons of Gersom: Subuel the first.
17 Eliezerovi su sinovi bili: poglavar Rehabja. Eliezer nije imao drugih sinova, nego su se Rehabjini sinovi vrlo namnožili.
And the sons of Eliezer were: Rohobia the first: and Eliezer had no more sons. But the sons of Rohobia were multiplied exceedingly.
18 Jisharovi sinovi: poglavar Šelomit.
The sons of Isaar: Salomith the first.
19 Hebronovi sinovi: poglavar Jerija, drugi Amarja, treći Jahaziel, četvrti Jekamam.
The sons of Hebron: Jeriau the first, Amarias the second, Jahaziel the third, Jecmaam the fourth.
20 Uzielovi sinovi: poglavar Mika, drugi Ješija.
The sons of Oziel: Micha the first, Jesia the second.
21 Merarijevi sinovi: Mahli i Muši. Mahlijevi sinovi: Eleazar i Kiš.
The sons of Merari: Moholi, and Musi. The sons of Moholi: Eleazar and Cia.
22 Eleazar je umro nemajući sinova, nego samo kćeri, koje su sebi uzeli za žene njihovi rođaci, Kiševi sinovi.
And Eleazar died, and had no sons but daughters: and the sons of Cis their brethren took them.
23 Mušijevi sinovi: Mahli, Eder i Jerimot, trojica.
The sons of Musi: Moholi, and Eder, and Jerimoth, three.
24 To su bili Levijevi sinovi po obiteljima, poglavari porodica, koji su bili popisani poimence; oni su radili posao za službu Jahvina Doma u dobi od dvadeset godina naviše.
These are the sons of Levi in their kindreds and families, princes by their courses, and the number of every head that did the works of the ministry 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 the God of Israel hath given rest to his people, and a habitation in Jerusalem for ever.
26 Zato ni leviti neće više nositi Prebivališta ni svakovrsnog pribora za njegovu službu.”
And it shall not be the office of the Levites to carry any more the tabernacle, and all the vessels for the service thereof.
27 Po posljednjim Davidovim riječima, bili su izbrojeni Levijevi sinovi od dvadeset godina naviše.
So according to the last precepts of David, the sons of Levi are to be numbered 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,
And they are to be under the hand of the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of the Lord, in the porches, and in the chambers, and in the place of purification, and in the sanctuary, and in all the works of the ministry of the temple of the Lord.
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 the priests have the charge of the leaves of proposition, and of the sacrifice of fine flour, and of the unleavened cakes, and of the fryingpan, and of the roasting, and of every weight and measure.
30 da pristupaju svakoga jutra, da slave i hvale Jahvu; tako i večerom.
And the Levites are to stand in the morning to give thanks, and to sing praises to the Lord: and in like manner 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.
As well in the oblation of the holocausts of the Lord, as in the sabbaths and in the new moons, and the rest of the solemnities, according to the number and ceremonies prescribed for every thing, 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 let them keep the observances of the tabernacle of the covenant, and the ceremonies of the sanctuary, and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren, that they may minister in the house of the Lord.
