< 1 Chronicles 23 >

1 When David was old and full of years, he installed his son Solomon as king over Israel.
و چون داود پير و سالخورده شد، پسر خود سُليمان را به پادشاهي اسرائيل نصب نمود.۱
2 Then he gathered all the leaders of Israel, as well as the priests and Levites.
و تمامي سروران اسرائيل و کاهنان و لاويان را جمع کرد.۲
3 The Levites thirty years of age or older were counted, and the total number of men was 38,000.
و لاويان از سي ساله و بالاتر شمرده شدند و عدد ايشان بر حسب سرهاي مردان ايشان، سي و هشت هزار بود.۳
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,
از ايشان بيست و چهار هزار به جهت نظارت عمل خانه خداوند و شش هزار سروران و داوران بودند.۴
5 4,000 are to be gatekeepers, and 4,000 are to praise the LORD with the instruments I have made for giving praise.”
و چهار هزار دربانان و چهار هزار نفر بودند که خداوند را به آلاتي که به جهت تسبيح ساخته شد، تسبيح خواندند.۵
6 Then David divided the Levites into divisions according to the sons of Levi: Gershom, Kohath, and Merari.
و داود ايشان را بر حسب پسران لاوي يعني جَرشون و قَهات و مَراري به فرقه ها تقسيم نمود.۶
7 The Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei.
از جَرشونيان لَعدان و شِمعي.۷
8 The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the first, Zetham, and Joel—three in all.
پسران لَعدان اول يحيئيل و زيتام و سومين يوئيل.۸
9 The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran—three in all. These were the heads of the families of Ladan.
پسران شِمعي شَلُومِيت و حَزِيئِيل و هاران سه نفر. اينان رؤساي خاندانهاي آباي لَعدان بودند.۹
10 And the sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, Jeush, and Beriah. These were the sons of Shimei—four in all.
و پسران شِمعي يحَت و زينا و يعُوش و بَريعَه. اينان چهار پسر شِمعي بودند.۱۰
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.
و يحَت اولين و زيزا دومين و يعُوش و بَريعَه پسران بسيار نداشتند؛ از اين سبب يک خاندان آبا از ايشان شمرده شد.۱۱
12 The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel—four in all.
پسران قَهات عَمرام و يصهار و حَبرُون و عُزّيئيل چهار نفر.۱۲
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.
پسران عَمرام هارون و موسي و هارون ممتاز شد تا او و پسرانش قدس الاقداس را پيوسته تقديس نمايند و به حضور خداوند بخور بسوزانند و او را خدمت نمايند و به اسم او هميشه اوقات برکت دهند.۱۳
14 As for Moses the man of God, his sons were named among the tribe of Levi.
و پسران موسي مرد خدا با سبط لاوي ناميده شدند.۱۴
15 The sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.
پسران موسي جَرشوم و اَلِعازار.۱۵
16 The descendants of Gershom: Shebuel was the first.
از پسران جَرشُوم شَبُوئيل رئيس بود.۱۶
17 The descendants of Eliezer: Rehabiah was the first. Eliezer did not have any other sons, but the sons of Rehabiah were very numerous.
و از پسران اَلِعازار رَحَبيا رئيس بود و اَلِعازار را پسر ديگر نبود؛ اما پسران رَحَبيا بسيار زياد بودند.۱۷
18 The sons of Izhar: Shelomith was the first.
از پسران يصهار شَلُوميت رئيس بود.۱۸
19 The sons of Hebron: Jeriah was the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
پسران حَبرُون، اولين يرِيا و دومين اَمريا و سومين يحزِيئيل و چهارمين يقمَعام.۱۹
20 The sons of Uzziel: Micah was the first and Isshiah the second.
پسران عُزّيئيل اولين ميکا و دومين يشِّيا.۲۰
21 The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.
پسران مَراري مَحلي و مُوشِي و پسران مَحلِي اَلِعازار و قَيس.۲۱
22 Eleazar died without having any sons; he had only daughters. Their cousins, the sons of Kish, married them.
و اَلِعازار مُرد و او را پسري نبود؛ ليکن دختران داشت و برادران ايشان پسرانِ قَيس ايشان را به زني گرفتند.۲۲
23 The sons of Mushi: Mahli, Eder, and Jeremoth —three in all.
پسران مُوشِي مَحلي و عادَر و يريموت سه نفر بودند.۲۳
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.
اينان پسران لاوي موافق خاندانهاي آباي خود و رؤساي خاندانهاي آبا از آناني که شمرده شدند بر حسب شماره اسماي سرهاي خود بودند که از بيست ساله و بالاتر در عمل خدمت خانه خداوند مي پرداختند.۲۴
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.
زيرا که داود گفت: « يهُوَه خداي اسرائيل قوم خويش را آرامي داده است و او در اورشليم تا به ابد ساکن مي باشد.۲۵
26 So now the Levites no longer need to carry the tabernacle or any of the articles for its service.”
و نيز لاويان را ديگر لازم نيست که مسکن و همه اسباب خدمت را بردارند.»۲۶
27 For according to the final instructions of David, the Levites twenty years of age or older were counted,
لهذا بر حسب فرمان آخر داود پسران لاوي از بيست ساله و بالاتر شمرده شدند.۲۷
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,
زيرا که منصب ايشان به طرف بني هارون بود تا خانه خداوند را خدمت نمايند، در صحن ها و حجره ها و براي تطهير همه چيزهاي مقدس و عمل خدمت خانه خدا.۲۸
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.
و بر نان تَقدِمه و آرد نرم به جهت هديه آردي و قرصهاي فطير و آنچه بر ساج پخته مي شود و رَبيکه ها و بر همه کيلها و وزنها.۲۹
30 They were also to stand every morning to give thanks and praise to the LORD, and likewise in the evening.
و تا هر صبح براي تسبيح و حمد خداوند حاضر شوند و همچنين هر شام.۳۰
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.
و به جهت گذرانيدن همه قرباني هاي سوختني براي خداوند در هر روز سبت و غرّه ها و عيدها بر حسب شماره و بر وفق قانون آنها دائماً به حضور خداوند.۳۱
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.
و براي نگاه داشتن وظيفه خيمه اجتماع و وظيفه قدس و وظيفه برادران خود بني هارون در خدمت خانه خداوند.۳۲
