1 Chronicles 23
1 And David was old and full of days; and he made Solomon his son king over Israel.
Igitur David senex et plenus dierum, regem constituit Salomonem filium suum super Israel.
2 And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.
Et congregavit omnes principes Israel, et Sacerdotes atque Levitas.
3 And the Levites were numbered from thirty years old and upward; and their number, by their polls, man by man, was thirty-eight thousand.
Numeratique sunt Levitæ a triginta annis, et supra: et inventa sunt triginta octo millia virorum.
4 Of these, twenty-four thousand were to preside over the work of the house of Jehovah; and six thousand were officers and judges;
Ex his electi sunt, et distributi in ministerium domus Domini viginti quattuor millia: præpositorum autem et iudicum sex millia.
5 and four thousand were doorkeepers; and four thousand praised Jehovah with the instruments which I made, [said David, ] to praise [therewith].
Porro quattuor millia ianitores: et totidem psaltæ canentes Domino in organis, quæ fecerat ad canendum.
6 And David divided them into courses according to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
Et distribuit eos David per vices filiorum Levi, Gerson videlicet, et Caath, et Merari.
7 Of the Gershonites: Laadan and Shimei.
Filii Gerson: Leedan, et Semei.
8 The sons of Laadan: the head was Jehiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three.
Filii Leedan: princeps Iahiel, et Zethan, et Ioel, tres.
9 The sons of Shimei: Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the chief fathers of Laadan.
Filii Semei: Salomith, et Hosiel, et Aran, tres: isti principes familiarum Leedan.
10 And the sons of Shimei: Jahath, Ziza, and Jeush, and Beriah. These were the four sons of Shimei.
Porro filii Semei, Leheth, et Ziza, et Iaus, et Baria: isti filii Semei, quattuor.
11 And Jahath was the head, and Ziza the second; and Jeush and Beriah had not many sons: as father's house, therefore, they were reckoned as one.
Erat autem Leheth prior, Ziza secundus: porro Iaus et Baria non habuerunt plurimos filios, et idcirco in una familia, unaque domo computati sunt.
12 The sons of Kohath: Amram, Jizhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.
Filii Caath: Amram, et Isaar, Hebron, et Oziel, quattuor.
13 The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses. And Aaron was separated, that he should be hallowed as most holy, he and his sons for ever, to offer before Jehovah, to do service to him, and to bless in his name for ever.
Filii Amram, Aaron et Moyses. Separatusque est Aaron ut ministraret in Sancto sanctorum, ipse et filii eius in sempiternum, et adoleret incensum Domino secundum ritum suum, ac benediceret nomini eius in perpetuum.
14 — And as to Moses the man of God, his sons were named of the tribe of Levi.
Moysi quoque hominis Dei filii annumerati sunt in tribu Levi.
15 The sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.
Filii Moysi: Gersom, et Eliezer.
16 The sons of Gershom: Shebuel the head.
Filii Gersom: Subuel primus.
17 And the sons of Eliezer: Rehabiah the head; and Eliezer had no other sons, but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.
Fuerunt autem filii Eliezer: Rohobia primus: et non erant Eliezer filii alii. Porro filii Rohobia multiplicati sunt nimis.
18 — The sons of Jizhar: Shelomith the head.
Filii Isaar: Salomith primus.
19 The sons of Hebron: Jeriah the head, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
Filii Hebron: Ieriau primus, Amarias secundus, Iahaziel tertius, Iecmaam quartus.
20 The sons of Uzziel: Micah the head, and Jishijah the second.
Filii Oziel: Micha primus, Iesia secundus.
21 The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.
Filii Merari: Moholi, et Musi. Filii Moholi: Eleazar, et Cis.
22 And Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters; and their brethren the sons of Kish took them.
Mortuus est autem Eleazar, et non habuit filios, sed filias: acceperuntque eas filii Cis fratres earum.
23 The sons of Mushi: Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three.
Filii Musi: Moholi, et Eder, et Ierimoth, tres.
24 These were the sons of Levi according to their fathers' houses, the chief fathers, as they were reckoned, by number of names by their polls, who did the work of the service of the house of Jehovah, from twenty years old and upward.
Hi filii Levi in cognationibus, et familiis suis, principes per vices, et numerum capitum singulorum, qui faciebant opera ministerii domus Domini a viginti annis, et supra.
25 For David said, Jehovah the God of Israel has given rest to his people, and he will dwell in Jerusalem for ever;
Dixit enim David: Requiem dedit Dominus Deus Israel populo suo, et habitationem Ierusalem usque in æternum.
26 and the Levites also have no more to carry the tabernacle, nor any of its vessels for its service.
Nec erit officii Levitarum ut ultra portent tabernaculum, et omnia vasa eius ad ministrandum.
27 For by the last words of David was this [done], — the numbering of the sons of Levi from twenty years old and upward.
Iuxta præcepta quoque David novissima supputabitur numerus filiorum Levi a viginti annis et supra.
28 For their place was by the side of the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of Jehovah, over the courts, and over the chambers, and over the purifying of all holy things, and [for] the work of the service of the house of God;
Et erunt sub manu filiorum Aaron in cultum domus Domini, in vestibulis, et in exedris, et in loco purificationis, et in sanctuario, et in universis operibus ministerii templi Domini.
29 and for the loaves to be set in rows, and for the fine flour for the oblation, and for the unleavened cakes, and for [what is baked in] the pan, and for that which is saturated [with oil], and for all measure of capacity and size;
Sacerdotes autem, super panes propositionis, et ad similæ sacrificium, et ad lagana azyma, et sartaginem, et ad torrendum, et super omne pondus atque mensuram.
30 and to stand every morning to thank and praise Jehovah, and likewise at even;
Levitæ vero ut stent mane ad confitendum, et canendum Domino: similiterque ad vesperam
31 and for all burnt-offerings offered up to Jehovah on the sabbaths, on the new moons, and on the set feasts, by number, according to the ordinance concerning them, continually, before Jehovah;
tam in oblatione holocaustorum Domini, quam in sabbatis et Calendis et sollemnitatibus reliquis iuxta numerum, et ceremonias uniuscuiusque rei, iugiter coram Domino.
32 and they kept the charge of the tent of meeting, and the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren, in the service of the house of Jehovah.
Et custodiant observationes tabernaculi fœderis, et ritum sanctuarii, et observationem filiorum Aaron fratrum suorum, ut ministrent in domo Domini.
