1 Chronicles 23
1 And David was old and full of days; and he made Solomon his son king over Israel.
जब दाऊद वृद्ध भएका र आफ्नो जीवनको अन्तिम क्षणमा थिए, तब तिनले आफ्ना छोरा सोलोमनलाई इस्राएलमाथि राजा बनाए ।
2 And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.
पूजाहारीहरू र लेवीहरूसँगै तिनले इस्राएलका सबै अगुवाहरूलाई भेला गराए ।
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.
तीस वर्ष र त्योभन्दा बढी उमेरका लेवीहरूको सङ्ख्याको गणना भयो । तिनीहरूको संख्या अठ्तीस हजार थियो ।
4 Of these, twenty-four thousand were to preside over the work of the house of Jehovah; and six thousand were officers and judges;
“तिमध्येका चौबीस हजारको काम परमप्रभुका मन्दिरको कामको रेखदेख गर्ने थियो, र छ हजार अधिकारीहरू र न्यायकर्ताहरू थिए ।
5 and four thousand were doorkeepers; and four thousand praised Jehovah with the instruments which I made, [said David, ] to praise [therewith].
चार हजार द्वारपालहरू, र चार हजारले मैले दिएका बाजा बजाएर परमप्रभुको स्तुतिगान गर्नपर्छ,” दाऊदले भने ।
6 And David divided them into courses according to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
तिनले उनीहरूलाई लेवीका छोराहरू गेर्शोन, कहात र मरारीका नाउँबमोजिम विभाजन गरे ।
7 Of the Gershonites: Laadan and Shimei.
लादान र शिमी गेर्शोनका वंशका थिए ।
8 The sons of Laadan: the head was Jehiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three.
लादानका तीन छोराहरू: अगुवा यहीएल, जेताम र योएल थिए ।
9 The sons of Shimei: Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the chief fathers of Laadan.
शिमीका तिन छोराहरू: शलोमोत, हजीएल र हारान थिए । लादानका वंशका मुखियाहरू यी नै थिए ।
10 And the sons of Shimei: Jahath, Ziza, and Jeush, and Beriah. These were the four sons of Shimei.
शिमीका चार छोराहरूः यहत, जीजा, येऊश र बरीआ थिए ।
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.
यहत जेठा थिए, जीजा माइला, तर येऊश र बरीआका धेरै छोराहरू थिएनन्, त्यसैले तिनीहरू एउटै कामको निम्ति एकै वंशको रूपमा गनिए ।
12 The sons of Kohath: Amram, Jizhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.
कहातका चार छोराहरू: अम्राम, यिसहार, हेब्रोन र उज्जीएल थिए ।
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.
अम्रामका छोराहरू हारून र मोशा थिए । अति पवित्र कुराहरू अलग गर्न हारूनलाई चुनिएका थियो । तिनी र तिनका सन्तानहरूले परमप्रभुको सामु धूप चढाउनु, उहाँको सेवा गर्नु र उहाँको नाउँमा सधैं आशीर्वाद दिनुपर्थ्यो ।
14 — And as to Moses the man of God, his sons were named of the tribe of Levi.
तर परमेश्वरका मानिस मोशाका छोराहरू भने लेवीकै कुलका मानिए ।
15 The sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.
मोशाका छोराहरू गेर्शोम र एलीएजर थिए ।
16 The sons of Gershom: Shebuel the head.
गेर्शोमका सन्तानमा शूबाएल जेठा थिए ।
17 And the sons of Eliezer: Rehabiah the head; and Eliezer had no other sons, but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.
एलीएजरका सन्तान रहब्याह थिए । एलीएजरका अरू छोरा थिएनन्, तर रहब्याहका धेरै सन्तानहरू थिए ।
18 — The sons of Jizhar: Shelomith the head.
यिसहारका छोरा अगुवा शलोमीत थिए ।
19 The sons of Hebron: Jeriah the head, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
हेब्रोनका छोराहरू यरियाह जेठा, अमर्याह माइला, यहासेल साँइला र यकमाम कान्छ थिए ।
20 The sons of Uzziel: Micah the head, and Jishijah the second.
उज्जीएलका छोराहरू मीका जेठा र यिशियाह माइला थिए ।
21 The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.
मरारीका छोराहरू महली र मूशी थिए । महलीका छोराहरू एलाजार र कीश थिए ।
22 And Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters; and their brethren the sons of Kish took them.
एलाजार छोराहरू नभै मरे । तिनका छोरीहरू मात्र थिए । कीशका छोराहरूले तिनीहरूलाई विवाह गरे ।
23 The sons of Mushi: Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three.
मूशीका तिन छोराहरू महली, एदेर र यरीमोत थिए ।
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.
आ-आफ्ना वंशअनुसार लेवीका सन्तानहरू यी नै थिए । परमप्रभुको भवनमा सेवाको काम गर्ने वंशका नामअनुसार गनिएका र सूचिकृत गरिएका बीस वर्ष र त्योभन्दा बढी उमेरका अगुवाहरू तिनीहरू थिए ।
25 For David said, Jehovah the God of Israel has given rest to his people, and he will dwell in Jerusalem for ever;
किनकि दाऊदले भने, “परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वरले आफ्नो मानिसहरूलाई आराम दिनुभएको छ । उहाँले सदासर्वदाको निम्ति यरूशलेममा आफ्नो मन्दिर बनाउनुहुन्छ ।
26 and the Levites also have no more to carry the tabernacle, nor any of its vessels for its service.
लेवीहरूले फेरि कहिल्यै पवित्र वासस्थान अथवा त्यसको सेवामा प्रयोग गरिने भाँडाहरू बोक्नुपर्दैन ।”
27 For by the last words of David was this [done], — the numbering of the sons of Levi from twenty years old and upward.
किनकि दाऊदका अन्तिम वचनद्वारा बीस वर्ष र त्यसभन्दा बढी उमेरका लेवीहरूको सङ्ख्या गनिए ।
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;
तिनीहरूको काम परमप्रभुका मन्दिरको सेवामा हारूनका सन्तानहरूलाई सघाउनुपर्ने थियो । तिनीहरूले चोक र कोठाहरूको रेखदेख गर्नुपर्ने, परमप्रभुका सबै पवित्र थोकहरू शुद्ध पार्नुपर्ने, र परमेश्वरका मन्दिरका सेवामा अरू काम गर्नुपर्ने थियो ।
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;
उपस्थितिको रोटी, अन्नबलिको मसिनो पीठो, पातला अखमिरी रोटी, पोलेका र तेलमा पकाएका भेटीहरूको हेरविचार गर्नुपर्ने, अनि विभिन्न कुराहरू नाप्नको निम्ति ढक र तराजू तयार गर्नुपर्ने जिम्मा पनि तिनीहरूको थियो ।
30 and to stand every morning to thank and praise Jehovah, and likewise at even;
हरेक बिहान परमप्रभुलाई धन्यवाद दिन र प्रशंसा चढाउन पनि तिनीहरू खडा हुन्थे । तिनीहरूले बेलुका,
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;
र शबाथ र औंसीका चाडमा र चाडका दिनहरूमा परमप्रभुको निम्ति होमबलि चढाउने बेलामा पनि यसै गरे । तोकिएको संख्यामा नियमअनुसार जिम्मा दिइएकाहरू परमप्रभुको सामु उपस्थित हुनुपर्थ्यो ।
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.
तिनीहरूको जिम्मामा भेट हुने पाल र पवित्रस्थान थिए, र आफ्ना आफन्त हारूनका सन्तानहरूलाई परमप्रभुका मन्दिरको सेवामा सहयोग गर्थे ।
