1 Chronicles 23
1 When David was old and full of years, he installed his son Solomon as king over Israel.
Torej ko je bil David star in izpolnjen z dnevi, je nad Izraelom postavil svojega sina Salomona.
2 Then he gathered all the leaders of Israel, as well as the priests and Levites.
Ta je zbral skupaj vse Izraelove prince, z duhovniki in Lévijevci.
3 The Levites thirty years of age or older were counted, and the total number of men was 38,000.
Torej Lévijevci so bili prešteti od starosti tridesetih let in navzgor. Njihovo število po njihovih glavah, oseb, je bilo osemintrideset tisoč.
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,
»Izmed katerih je bilo štiriindvajset tisoč, da vodijo delo Gospodove hiše, šest tisoč pa je bilo častnikov in sodnikov.
5 4,000 are to be gatekeepers, and 4,000 are to praise the LORD with the instruments I have made for giving praise.”
Poleg tega je bilo štiri tisoč vratarjev in štiri tisoč jih je hvalilo Gospoda z glasbili, ki sem jih naredil, « je rekel David, »da s temi hvalijo.«
6 Then David divided the Levites into divisions according to the sons of Levi: Gershom, Kohath, and Merari.
David jih je razdelil v skupine med Lévijeve sinove, namreč Geršóna, Keháta in Meraríja.
7 The Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei.
Izmed Geršónovcev sta bila Ladán in Šimí.
8 The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the first, Zetham, and Joel—three in all.
Ladánovi sinovi: vodja je bil Jehiél, Zetám in Joél, trije.
9 The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran—three in all. These were the heads of the families of Ladan.
Šimíjevi sinovi: Šelomít, Haziél in Harán, trije. To so bili vodje Ladánovih očetov.
10 And the sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, Jeush, and Beriah. These were the sons of Shimei—four in all.
Šimíjevi sinovi so bili: Jahat, Ziná, Jeúš in Berijá. Ti štirje so bili Šimíjevi sinovi.
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.
Jahat je bil vodja, Zizá pa drugi, toda Jeúš in Berijá nista imela veliko sinov, zato sta bila v enem štetju, glede na hišo svojega očeta.
12 The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel—four in all.
Kehátovi sinovi: Amrám, Jichár, Hebrón in Uziél, štirje.
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.
Amrámova sinova: Aron in Mojzes. Aron je bil odbran, da posvečuje najsvetejše stvari, on in njegovi sinovi na veke, da zažigajo kadilo pred Gospodom, da mu služijo in da v njegovem imenu blagoslavljajo na veke.
14 As for Moses the man of God, his sons were named among the tribe of Levi.
Torej glede Mojzesa, Božjega moža, njegovi sinovi so bili imenovani po Lévijevemu rodu.
15 The sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.
Mojzesova sinova sta bila Geršóm in Eliézer.
16 The descendants of Gershom: Shebuel was the first.
Od Geršómovih sinov je bil vodja Šebuél.
17 The descendants of Eliezer: Rehabiah was the first. Eliezer did not have any other sons, but the sons of Rehabiah were very numerous.
Eliézerjevi sinovi so bili vodja Rehabjá. Eliézer pa ni imel nobenih drugih sinov, toda Rehabjájevih sinov je bilo zelo mnogo.
18 The sons of Izhar: Shelomith was the first.
Izmed Jichárjevih sinov: vodja Šelomít.
19 The sons of Hebron: Jeriah was the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
Izmed Hebrónovih sinov: prvi Jerijá, drugi Amarjá, tretji Jahaziél in četrti Jekamám.
20 The sons of Uzziel: Micah was the first and Isshiah the second.
Uziélova sinova: prvi Miha in drugi Jišijá.
21 The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.
Meraríjeva sinova: Mahlí in Muší. Mahlíjeva sinova: Eleazar in Kiš.
22 Eleazar died without having any sons; he had only daughters. Their cousins, the sons of Kish, married them.
Eleazar pa je umrl in ni imel sinov, temveč hčere in vzeli so jih njihovi bratje, Kiševi sinovi.
23 The sons of Mushi: Mahli, Eder, and Jeremoth —three in all.
Mušíjevi sinovi: Mahlí, Eder in Jeremót, trije.
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.
To so bili Lévijevi sinovi po hiši svojih očetov, torej vodje očetov, kakor so bili prešteti po številu imen njihovih glav, ki so opravljali delo službe Gospodove hiše, od starosti dvajsetih let in navzgor.
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.
Kajti David je rekel: » Gospod, Izraelov Bog, je svojemu ljudstvu dal počitek, da bi na veke lahko prebivali v Jeruzalemu,
26 So now the Levites no longer need to carry the tabernacle or any of the articles for its service.”
in tudi Lévijevcem; ne bodo več nosili šotorskega svetišča niti nobene njegove posode za njegovo službo.«
27 For according to the final instructions of David, the Levites twenty years of age or older were counted,
Kajti po zadnjih Davidovih besedah so bili Lévijevci prešteti od dvajsetih let starosti in naprej,
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,
ker je bila njihova služba, da čakajo na Aronove sinove za službo Gospodovi hiši, na dvorih in v sobah in v očiščevanju vseh svetih stvari in delu službe Božje hiše.
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.
Tako za hleb navzočnosti kakor za fino moko, za jedilno daritev in za nekvašene kolače in za tisto, kar je spečeno na ponvi in za to, kar je ocvrto in za vse vrste mer in velikosti
30 They were also to stand every morning to give thanks and praise to the LORD, and likewise in the evening.
in da vsako jutro stojijo, da se zahvaljujejo in hvalijo Gospoda in prav tako zvečer.
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.
In da vse žgalne daritve darujejo Gospodu na šabate, na mlaje in na določene praznike, po številu, glede na ukaz, ki jim je zapovedan, nenehno pred Gospodom,
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.
in da naj se držijo zadolžitve šotorskega svetišča skupnosti in zadolžitve svetega kraja in zadolžitve Aronovih sinov, svojih bratov, v službi Gospodove hiše.
