Første Krønikebog 23
1 Der David var gammel og mæt af Dage, da gjorde han Salomo, sin Søn, til Konge over Israel.
And when David was old and full of days, he made Solomon his son king over Israel.
2 Og han samlede alle Israels Fyrster, Præsterne og Leviterne.
And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.
3 Og Leviterne bleve talte fra tredive Aar gamle og derover, og deres Tal var, Hoved for Hoved, Mand for Mand, otte og tredive Tusinde.
And then were numbered the Levites from thirty years old and upward: and their number by their polls, of men, was thirty and eight thousand.
4 Af dem skal der til at forestaa Gerningen ved Herrens Hus være fire og tyve Tusinde, og til Fogeder og Dommere seks Tusinde;
Of these were twenty and four thousand to superintend the work of the house of the Lord; and six thousand were officers and judges;
5 og fire Tusinde til Portnere og fire Tusinde til at love Herren med Instrumenterne, som jeg har gjort til Lovsangen.
And four thousand were gatekeepers: and four thousand those who praised the Lord with the instruments which I have made, to praise therewith.
6 Og David delte dem i Skifter efter Levis Sønner, Gerson, Kahath og Merari.
And David divided them into divisions after the sons of Levi, after Gershon, Kehath, and Merari.
7 Af Gersoniterne vare Ladan og Simei.
Of the Gershunites: La'dan, and Shim'i.
8 Ladans Sønner vare: Jehiel den første og Setham og Joel, i alt tre.
The sons of La'dan: The chief was Jechiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three.
9 Simeis Sønner vare: Selomith og Hasiel og Haran, i alt tre; disse vare Øverster for Ladans Fædrenehuse.
The sons of Shim'i: Shelomith, and Chaziel, and Haran, three. These were the chiefs of the families of La'dan.
10 Og Simeis Sønner vare: Jahath, Sisa og Jeus og Beria; disse fire vare Simeis Sønner.
And the sons of Shim'i were, Jachath, Zina, and Je'ush, and Beri'ah. These four were the sons of Shim'i.
11 Og Jahath var den første og Sisa den anden; men Jeus og Beria havde ikke mange Sønner, derfor bleve de regnede for eet Fædrenehus.
And Jachath was the chief, and Zizah the second; but Je'ush and Beri'ah had not many sons: therefore were they accounted as one family division in the numbering.
12 Kahaths Sønner vare: Amram, Jizehar, Hebron og Ussiel, i alt fire.
The sons of Kehath: 'Amram, Yizhar, Hebron, and 'Uzziel, four.
13 Amrams Sønner vare: Aron og Mose; og Aron blev udtagen til at hellige det Højhellige, han og hans Sønner til evig Tid, til at gøre Røgelse for Herrens Ansigt, til at tjene ham og at velsigne i hans Navn til evig Tid.
The sons of 'Amram, Aaron and Moses: and Aaron was set apart, to sanctify him as most holy, he with his sons for ever, to burn incense before the Lord, to minister unto him, and to bless in his name for ever.
14 Men Mose, den Guds Mand, hans Sønner regnedes til Levi Stamme.
But as regardeth Moses the man of God, his sons were named after the tribe of Levi.
15 Moses Sønner vare: Gersom og Elieser.
The sons of Moses were, Gershom, and Eli'ezer.
16 Og Gersoms Sønner vare: Sebuel den første.
Of the sons of Gershom, Shebuel was the chief.
17 Og Eliesers Sønner vare: Rehabia den første; og Elieser havde ikke andre Sønner, men Rehabias Børn formerede sig overmaade.
And the sons of Eli'ezer were, Rechahyah the chief. And Eli'ezer had no other sons; but the sons of Rechahyah became exceedingly numerous.
18 Jizehars Sønner vare: Selomith den første.
Of the sons of Yizhar, was Shelomith the chief.
19 Hebrons Sønner vare: Jerija den første, Amaria den anden, Jehasiel den tredje og Jekameam den fjerde.
The sons of Hebron: Jeriyahu the chief, Amaryah the second, Jachaziel the third, and Jekam'am the fourth.
20 Ussiels Sønner vare: Mika den første, Jesija den anden.
The sons of 'Uzziel: Michah the chief, and Yishiyah the second.
21 Meraris Sønner vare: Maheli og Mufi; Mahelis Sønner vare: Eleasar og Kis.
The sons of Merari: Machli, and Mushi. The sons of Machli: El'azar, and Kish.
22 Og Eleasar døde og havde ingen Sønner, men Døtre; men Kis's Sønner, deres Brødre, toge dem til Ægte.
And El'azar died, and had no sons, but daughters; and the sons of Kish, their brethren, took them [for wives].
23 Musis Sønner vare: Maheli og Eder og Jeremoth, i alt tre.
The sons of Mushi: Machli, and 'Eder, and Jeremoth, three.
24 Disse ere Levis Børn efter deres Fædres Hus, Fædrenehusenes Øverster, som bleve regnede efter Navnes Tal, efter deres Hoveder, og som gjorde Gerningen til Herrens Hus's Tjeneste, fra tyve Aar gamle og derover.
These were the sons of Levi after their family divisions, even the chiefs of the families, as they were counted by numbering the names after their polls, that did the work for the service of the house of the Lord, from twenty years old and upward.
25 Thi David havde sagt: Herren, Israels Gud, har skaffet sit Folk Rolighed, og det skal bo i Jerusalem ind til evig Tid,
For David said, The Lord the God of Israel hath given rest unto his people, and he dwelleth in Jerusalem for evermore.
26 og Leviterne behøve heller ikke at bære Tabernaklet eller noget af dets Redskaber, som høre til dets Tjeneste.
And also the Levites are no more bound to carry the tabernacle, and all its vessels for the service thereof.
27 Thi efter Davids sidste Ord vare de, som udgjorde Tallet af Levis Børn, de fra tyve Aar gamle og derover.
Therefore by the last words of David were there numbered of the Levites those who were from twenty years old and above;
28 Thi de bleve satte ved Siden af Arons Børn til Herrens Hus's Tjeneste, over Forgaardene og over Kamrene og over alle Haande hellige Tings Renselse og til Gerning ved Guds Hus's Tjeneste
Because their station was to be at the side of the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of the Lord, in the courts, and in the chambers, and by the purification of all holy things, and the work of the service of the house of God;
29 og ved Skuebrødene og ved Melet til Madofferet og til de usyrede, tynde Kager og ved Panden og ved det, som æltedes, og ved Hulmaal og Længdemaal
And for the shew-bread, which was put in rows, and for the fine flour for meat-offering, and for the unleavened cakes, and for that which is baked in the pan, and for that which is sodden, and for all manner of dry and wet measure;
30 og til at staa hver Morgen for at takke og for at love Herren og ligesaa om Aftenen
And to stand every morning to thank and praise the Lord, and so also at evening,
31 og til at ofre Herren alle Brændofre paa Sabbaterne, paa Nymaanederne og paa de bestemte Højtider efter Tal, som deres Vis var, idelig for Herrens Ansigt.
And at all the offering of burnt-offerings unto the Lord on the sabbaths, on the new moons, and on the appointed feasts, according to the number, and after the manner prescribed for them, continually before the Lord;
32 Og de skulde tage Vare paa, hvad der var at varetage ved Forsamlingens Paulun, og paa hvad der var at varetage ved Helligdommen, og paa hvad der var at varetage for Arons Børn, deres Brødre, til Herrens Hus's Tjeneste.
And that they should keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren, in the service of the house of the Lord.
