1 Chronicles 23
1 Then David, being old and full of days, appointed his son Solomon as king over Israel.
Un kad Dāvids bija vecs un savu laiku nodzīvojis, tad tas savu dēlu Salamanu cēla par ķēniņu pār Israēli.
2 And he gathered together all the leaders of Israel, with the priests as well as the Levites.
Un (Dāvids) sapulcēja visus Israēla virsniekus un priesterus un Levitus.
3 And the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty years and upward. And there were found thirty-eight thousand men.
Un Leviti tapa skaitīti no trīsdesmit gadiem un pārāk, un viņu skaits pēc viņu vīru galvām bija trīsdesmit astoņi tūkstoši.
4 Of these, twenty-four thousand were chosen and distributed to the ministry of the house of the Lord. Then six thousand were overseers and judges.
No tiem bija divdesmit četri tūkstoši nolikti pie Tā Kunga nama darba, un seši tūkstoš uzraugi un tiesneši.
5 Moreover, four thousand were porters. And the same number were the singers of psalms to the Lord, with the musical instruments which he had made for the music.
Un četri tūkstoš vārtu sargi un četri tūkstoš Tā Kunga dziedātāji ar spēlēm, ko es esmu iecēlis, Dievu teikt (sacīja Dāvids).
6 And David distributed them into courses according to the sons of Levi, specifically, Gershom, and Kohath, and Merari.
Un Dāvids tos dalīja kārtās, pēc Levja bērniem, Geršona, Kehāta un Merarus.
7 The sons of Gershom: Ladan and Shimei.
No Geršona bērniem bija Laēdans un Šimejus.
8 The sons of Ladan: the leader Jahiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three.
Laēdana bērni bija: Jeīels, virsnieks, un Zetams un Joēls, tie trīs.
9 The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the leaders of the families of Ladan.
Šimejus bērni bija: Zalomits un Aziēls un Hārans, tie trīs; šie bija Laēdana tēvu nama virsnieki.
10 Then the sons of Shimei: Jahath, and Zizah, and Jeush, and Beriah. These were the sons of Shimei, four.
Un Šimejus bērni bija: Jakats, Zinus un Jeūs un Brija; šie četri bija Šimejus bērni.
11 Now Jahath was first, Zizah second, but Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, and for this reason they were reckoned as one family and one house.
Un Jakats bija pirmais un Zinus otrais. Bet Jeūm un Brijam nebija daudz bērnu, tāpēc tie tapa skaitīti par vienu tēva namu.
12 The sons of Kohath: Amram and Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel, four.
Un Kehāta bērni bija: Amrams, Jecears, Hebrons un Uziēls, tie četri.
13 The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses. Now Aaron was separated so that he might minister in the Holy of Holies, he and his sons forever, and so that he might burn incense to the Lord, according to his rite, and so that he might bless his name in perpetuity.
Amrama bērni bija Ārons un Mozus. Un Āronu atšķīra, ka tas taptu svētīts visusvētākajā amatā līdz ar saviem dēliem mūžīgi, kvēpināt priekš Tā Kunga vaiga un viņam kalpot un svētīt viņa vārdā mūžīgi.
14 The sons of Moses, the man of God, were also numbered in the tribe of Levi.
Un Mozus, Tā Dieva vīra, bērni bija skaitīti pie Levitu cilts.
15 The sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.
Mozus bērni bija: Ģerzoms un Eliēzers.
16 The sons of Gershom: Shebuel the first.
Ģerzoma bērni bija Zebuēls, virsnieks.
17 Now the sons of Eliezer were Rehabiah the first. And there were no other sons for Eliezer. But the sons of Rehabiah were multiplied exceedingly.
Un Eliēzeram bērni bija: Rekabeja, virsnieks. Un Eliēzeram nebija citu bērnu. Bet Rekabejas bērni vairojās daudz vairāk.
18 The sons of Izhar: Shelomith the first.
Jeceara bērni bija: virsnieks Zalomits.
19 The sons of Hebron: Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, Jekameam the fourth.
Hebrona bērni bija: Jerija tas pirmais, Amarija otrais, Jeaziēls trešais, un Jakmeams ceturtais.
20 The sons of Uzziel: Micah the first, Isshiah the second.
Uziēļa bērni bija: Miha tas pirmais un Jezija otrais.
21 The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.
Merarus bērni bija: Maēlus un Muzus. Maēlus bērni bija: Eleazars un Ķis.
22 Then Eleazar died, and had no sons, but only daughters. And so the sons of Kish, their brothers, married them.
Un Eleazars nomira, un tam dēlu nebija, bet meitas vien, un Ķisa bērni, viņu brāļi, tās apņēma.
23 The sons of Mushi: Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three.
Muzus bērni bija Maēlns, Eders un Jeremots, tie trīs.
24 These are the sons of Levi, in their kindred and families, leaders in turns, and the number of each of the heads who were doing the works of the ministry of the house of the Lord, from twenty years of age and upward.
Šie bija Levja bērni pēc savu tēvu namiem, savu tēvu namu virsnieki, kas pēc vārdiem tapa skaitīti pēc viņu galvām; tie stāvēja kalpošanas darbā Tā Kunga namā, divdesmit gadus veci un vairāk.
25 For David said: “The Lord, the God of Israel, has given rest to his people, and a habitation in Jerusalem even unto eternity.
Jo Dāvids bija sacījis: Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs, Saviem ļaudīm dusu devis, un Viņš Jeruzālemē mājos mūžīgi.
26 Neither shall it be the office of the Levites any more to carry the tabernacle with all its equipment for use in the ministry.”
Tad arī Levitiem vairs nebija jānes tas dzīvoklis, nedz kādas citas lietas, kas pie tā amata piederēja.
27 Also, according to the last precepts of David, the sons of Levi shall be counted by number from twenty years of age and upward.
Bet pēc Dāvida pēdējiem vārdiem Levja bērni tapa skaitīti, divdesmit gadus veci un vairāk,
28 And they shall be under the hand of the sons of Aaron, in the care of the house of the Lord, in the vestibule, and in the chambers, and in the place of purification, and in the sanctuary, and in all the works of the ministry of the temple of the Lord.
Ka tiem bija jāstāv apakš Ārona bērnu rokas, kalpot Tā Kunga nama pagalmā un mantas kambaros un tīrīt visas svētās lietas un stāvēt Dieva nama kalpošanā,
29 But the priests shall be over the bread of the presence, and the sacrifice of fine wheat flour, and the unleavened cakes, and the frying pan, and the roasting, and over every weight and measure.
Un pie Dieva priekšā noliekamām maizēm un ēdamo upuru kviešu miltiem un neraudzētām karašām un pannām un ceptiem raušiem un pie visiem svariem un mēriem,
30 Yet truly, the Levites shall stand to confess and to sing to the Lord, in the morning, and similarly in the evening,
Un ik rītu stāvēt, To Kungu teikt un slavēt, tāpat arī ik vakaru,
31 as much in the oblation of the holocausts of the Lord, as in the Sabbaths and new moons and other solemnities, according to the number and ceremonies for each and every matter, perpetually before the Lord.
Un upurēt visus dedzināmos upurus svētdienās, jaunos mēnešos un svētkos pēc sava skaita un tiesas Tā Kunga priekšā vienmēr,
32 And let them keep the observances of the tabernacle of the covenant, and the rituals of the sanctuary, and the observance of the sons of Aaron, their brothers, so that they may minister in the house of the Lord.
Un sargāt saiešanas telti un svēto vietu un kalpot saviem brāļiem, Ārona bērniem, Tā Kunga nama kalpošanā.
