1 Ljetopisa 23
1 Ostarjevši i nauživši se dana, postavi David svoga sina Salomona kraljem nad Izraelom.
Now David was old and full of days; and he made Solomon his son king over Israel.
2 Potom skupi sve izraelske knezove, svećenike i levite.
He gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.
3 On izbroji levite od trideset godina naviše, i bilo ih je po muškim glavama trideset i osam tisuća.
The Levites were counted from thirty years old and upward; and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty-eight thousand.
4 Između njih bilo je dvadeset i četiri tisuće onih koji su upravljali poslom oko Jahvina Doma, a šest tisuća nadzornika i sudaca,
David said, “Of these, twenty-four thousand were to oversee the work of the LORD’s house, six thousand were officers and judges,
5 četiri tisuće vratara i četiri tisuće onih koji su hvalili Jahvu uz glazbala što ih je napravio za hvalu.
four thousand were doorkeepers, and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I made for giving praise.”
6 David ih razdijeli na redove po Levijevim sinovima: Geršonu, Kehatu i Merariju.
David divided them into divisions according to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
7 Od Geršonova su koljena bili: Ladan i Šimej.
Of the Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei.
8 Ladanovi sinovi: poglavari Jehiel, Zetam i Joel, njih trojica.
The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the chief, Zetham, and Joel, three.
9 Šimejevi sinovi: Šelomit, Haziel i Haram, njih trojica; to su poglavari Ladanovih obitelji.
The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the heads of the fathers’ households of Ladan.
10 Šimejevi sinovi: Jahat, Zina, Jeuš i Berija. Ta su četvorica Šimejevi sinovi.
The sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.
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.
Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second; but Jeush and Beriah didn’t have many sons; therefore they became a fathers’ house in one reckoning.
12 Kehatovi sinovi: Amram, Jishar, Hebron i Uziel, četvorica.
The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, 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 that he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons forever, to burn incense before the LORD, to minister to him, and to bless in his name forever.
14 Mojsije je bio Božji čovjek. Njegovi se sinovi broje u Levijevo pleme.
But as for Moses the man of God, his sons were named among the tribe of Levi.
15 Mojsijevi su sinovi Geršom i Eliezer.
The sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.
16 Geršomovi sinovi: poglavar Šebuel.
The sons of Gershom: Shebuel the chief.
17 Eliezerovi su sinovi bili: poglavar Rehabja. Eliezer nije imao drugih sinova, nego su se Rehabjini sinovi vrlo namnožili.
The son of Eliezer was Rehabiah the chief; and Eliezer had no other sons, but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.
18 Jisharovi sinovi: poglavar Šelomit.
The son of Izhar: Shelomith the chief.
19 Hebronovi sinovi: poglavar Jerija, drugi Amarja, treći Jahaziel, četvrti Jekamam.
The sons of Hebron: Jeriah the chief, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
20 Uzielovi sinovi: poglavar Mika, drugi Ješija.
The sons of Uzziel: Micah the chief, and Isshiah the second.
21 Merarijevi sinovi: Mahli i Muši. Mahlijevi sinovi: Eleazar i Kiš.
The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.
22 Eleazar je umro nemajući sinova, nego samo kćeri, koje su sebi uzeli za žene njihovi rođaci, Kiševi sinovi.
Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters only; and their relatives, the sons of Kish, took them as wives.
23 Mušijevi sinovi: Mahli, Eder i Jerimot, trojica.
The sons of Mushi: Mahli, Eder, and Jeremoth, 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 were the sons of Levi after their fathers’ houses, even the heads of the fathers’ houses of those who were counted individually, in the number of names by their polls, who did the work for the service of the LORD’s house, 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, has given rest to his people; and he dwells in Jerusalem forever.
26 Zato ni leviti neće više nositi Prebivališta ni svakovrsnog pribora za njegovu službu.”
Also the Levites will no longer need to carry the tabernacle and all its vessels for its service.”
27 Po posljednjim Davidovim riječima, bili su izbrojeni Levijevi sinovi od dvadeset godina naviše.
For by the last words of David the sons of Levi were counted, 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 their duty was to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of the LORD’s house—in the courts, in the rooms, and in the purifying of all holy things, even the work of the service of God’s house;
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;
for the show bread also, and for 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 measurements of quantity and size;
30 da pristupaju svakoga jutra, da slave i hvale Jahvu; tako i večerom.
and to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD, and likewise 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 offer all burnt offerings to the LORD on the Sabbaths, on the new moons, and on the set feasts, in number according to the ordinance concerning 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 that they should keep the duty of the Tent of Meeting, the duty of the holy place, and the duty of the sons of Aaron their brothers for the service of the LORD’s house.
