1 Chronicles 23
1 When David was old and full of years, he installed his son Solomon as king over Israel.
Da: ibidi da da: idafa hamonoba, e da egefe Soloumane da Isala: ili fi ilia hina bagade hamoi.
2 Then he gathered all the leaders of Israel, as well as the priests and Levites.
Hina bagade Da: ibidi da Isala: ili fi ouligisu dunu amola gobele salasu dunu amola Lifai fi dunu huluane gilisi.
3 The Levites thirty years of age or older were counted, and the total number of men was 38,000.
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.
4 “Of these,” said David, “24,000 are to oversee the work of the house of the LORD, 6,000 are to be officers and judges,
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.
5 4,000 are to be gatekeepers, and 4,000 are to praise the LORD with the instruments I have made for giving praise.”
6 Then David divided the Levites into divisions according to the sons of Levi: Gershom, Kohath, and Merari.
Da: ibidi da gilisisu udiana hamoma: ne, Lifai fi dunu momogi. Amo gilisisu udiana da Gesione sosogo, Gouha: de sosogo amola Milalai sosogo.
7 The Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei.
Gesione ea mano aduna da La: ida: ne amola Simiai.
8 The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the first, Zetham, and Joel—three in all.
La: ida: ne ea mano udiana da Yihaiele, Sida: me amola Youele.
9 The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran—three in all. These were the heads of the families of Ladan.
Simiai ea mano udiana da Siloumidi, Ha: isiele amola Ha: ila: ne. (Ilia da La: ida: ne egaga fi ilima fada: i dunu esafulu)
10 And the sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, Jeush, and Beriah. These were the sons of Shimei—four in all.
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.
11 Jahath was the first and Zizah was the second; but Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, so they were counted as one family and received a single assignment.
12 The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel—four in all.
Gouha: de ea mano biyaduale da A: mala: me, Aisiha, Hibalone amola Asaiele.
13 The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses. Aaron and his descendants were set apart forever to consecrate the most holy things, to burn incense before the LORD, to minister before Him, and to pronounce blessings in His name forever.
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.
14 As for Moses the man of God, his sons were named among the tribe of Levi.
Be Gode Ea hawa: hamosu dunu Mousesegefela, da Lifai fi amo ganodini idi.)
15 The sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.
Mousese egefela da Gesiome amola Elia: isa.
16 The descendants of Gershom: Shebuel was the first.
Gesiome ea magobo mano da Sibiuele.
17 The descendants of Eliezer: Rehabiah was the first. Eliezer did not have any other sons, but the sons of Rehabiah were very numerous.
Elia: isa da dunu mano afadafa galu. Ea dio da Liha: baia. Be Liha: baia egaga fi dunu da bagohame galu.
18 The sons of Izhar: Shelomith was the first.
Gouha: de magobo bagia dunu mano da Aisiha. Aisiha egefe da Siloumidi. E da ea sosogo fi ilima fada: i galu.
19 The sons of Hebron: Jeriah was the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
Gouha: de egefe Aisiha amo bagia da Hibalone. Hibalone egefelali da Yelaia, A:malaia, Yaha: isiele amola Yega: mia: ne.
20 The sons of Uzziel: Micah was the first and Isshiah the second.
Gouha: de egefe ufi da Asaiele. Asaiele egefela da Maiga amola Yisaia: i.
21 The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.
Milalai egefela da Malai amola Miusiai. Malai egefela da Elia: isa amola Gisia.
22 Eleazar died without having any sons; he had only daughters. Their cousins, the sons of Kish, married them.
Elia: isa da dunu mano hamedene, bogoi. E da uda manomusu galu. Ea uda manoni da ilia elafi (Gisia egefelali) ilima fi.
23 The sons of Mushi: Mahli, Eder, and Jeremoth —three in all.
Milalai egefe magobo bagia amo Miusiai egefelali da Malai, Ide amola Yelimode.
24 These were the descendants of Levi by their families—the heads of families, registered individually by name—those twenty years of age or older who worked in the service of the house of the LORD.
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.
25 For David had said, “The LORD, the God of Israel, has given rest to His people and has come to dwell in Jerusalem forever.
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.
26 So now the Levites no longer need to carry the tabernacle or any of the articles for its service.”
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.”
27 For according to the final instructions of David, the Levites twenty years of age or older were counted,
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.
28 but their duty was to assist the descendants of Aaron with the service of the house of the LORD, being responsible for the courts and chambers, the purification of all the holy things, and the work of the service of the house of God,
- 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. (b) Debolo gagoi amola sesei huluane, amola hadigi Godema nodone sia: ne gadomusa: liligi huluane amo noga: le ouligima: ne ilegei. (c) Ilia da Godema iasu liligi huluane ouligima: ne ilegei. Amo da agi, falaua, Yisidi hame sali belawagi, amola falaua amola olife susuligi gilisi iasu. (d) Ilia da Debolo gobele salasu liligi huluane dioi defei amola sedade defei, amo ba: ma: ne ilegei. (e) Ilia da hahabe, amola daeya, amola adi esoga Isala: ili dunu da Sa: bade gobele salasu amola Oubi Gaheabologa Lolo Nasu gobele salasu hamoi, Hina Godema nodone sia: ne gadosu hou, mae fisili hamonanoma: ne ilegei dagoi. (f) Ilia da Hina Gode Ea Abula Diasu amola Debolo Diasu noga: le ouligima: 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.
29 as well as for the rows of the showbread, the fine flour for the grain offering, the wafers of unleavened bread, the baking, the mixing, and all measurements of quantity and size.
30 They were also to stand every morning to give thanks and praise to the LORD, and likewise in the evening.
31 Whenever burnt offerings were presented to the LORD on the Sabbaths, New Moons, and appointed feasts, they were to serve regularly before the LORD in the numbers prescribed for them.
32 So the Levites were to carry out the responsibilities for the Tent of Meeting and the Holy Place, and, under their brothers the descendants of Aaron, the service of the house of the LORD.
