1 Chronicles 23
1 And David being old and full of days, made Solomon his son king over Israel.
Torej ko je bil David star in izpolnjen z dnevi, je nad Izraelom postavil svojega sina Salomona.
2 And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, and the priests and Levites.
Ta je zbral skupaj vse Izraelove prince, z duhovniki in Lévijevci.
3 And the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty years, and upwards: and there were found of them thirty-eight thousand men.
Torej Lévijevci so bili prešteti od starosti tridesetih let in navzgor. Njihovo število po njihovih glavah, oseb, je bilo osemintrideset tisoč.
4 Of these twenty-four thousand were chosen, and distributed unto the ministry of the house of the Lord: and six thousand were the overseers and judges.
»Izmed katerih je bilo štiriindvajset tisoč, da vodijo delo Gospodove hiše, šest tisoč pa je bilo častnikov in sodnikov.
5 Moreover four thousand were porters: and as many singers singing to the Lord with the instruments, which he had made to sing with.
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 And David distributed them into courses by the families of the sons of Levi, to wit, of Gerson, and of Caath, and of Merari.
David jih je razdelil v skupine med Lévijeve sinove, namreč Geršóna, Keháta in Meraríja.
7 The sons of Gerson were Leedan and Semei.
Izmed Geršónovcev sta bila Ladán in Šimí.
8 The sons of Leedan: the chief Jahiel, and Zethan, and Joel, three.
Ladánovi sinovi: vodja je bil Jehiél, Zetám in Joél, trije.
9 The sons of Semei: Salomith, and Hosiel, and Aran, three: these were the heads of the families of Leedan.
Šimíjevi sinovi: Šelomít, Haziél in Harán, trije. To so bili vodje Ladánovih očetov.
10 And the sons of Semei were Leheth, and Ziza, and Jaus, and Baria: these were the sons of Semei, four.
Šimíjevi sinovi so bili: Jahat, Ziná, Jeúš in Berijá. Ti štirje so bili Šimíjevi sinovi.
11 And Leheth was the first, Ziza the second: but Jaus and Baria had not many children, and therefore they were counted in one family, and in one house.
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 Caath were Amram, and Isaar, Hebron, and Oziel, four.
Kehátovi sinovi: Amrám, Jichár, Hebrón in Uziél, štirje.
13 The sons of Amram, Aaron, and Moses. And Aaron was separated to minister in the holy of holies, he and his sons for ever, and to burn incense before the Lord, according to his ceremonies, and to bless his name for ever.
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 The sons also of Moses, the man of God, were numbered in the tribe of Levi.
Torej glede Mojzesa, Božjega moža, njegovi sinovi so bili imenovani po Lévijevemu rodu.
15 The sons of Moses were Gersom and Eliezer:
Mojzesova sinova sta bila Geršóm in Eliézer.
16 The sons of Gersom: Subuel the first.
Od Geršómovih sinov je bil vodja Šebuél.
17 And the sons of Eliezer were: Rohobia the first: and Eliezer had no more sons. But the sons of Rohobia were multiplied exceedingly.
Eliézerjevi sinovi so bili vodja Rehabjá. Eliézer pa ni imel nobenih drugih sinov, toda Rehabjájevih sinov je bilo zelo mnogo.
18 The sons of Isaar: Salomith the first.
Izmed Jichárjevih sinov: vodja Šelomít.
19 The sons of Hebron: Jeriau the first, Amarias the second, Jahaziel the third, Jecmaam the fourth.
Izmed Hebrónovih sinov: prvi Jerijá, drugi Amarjá, tretji Jahaziél in četrti Jekamám.
20 The sons of Oziel: Micha the first, Jesia the second.
Uziélova sinova: prvi Miha in drugi Jišijá.
21 The sons of Merari: Moholi, and Musi. The sons of Moholi: Eleazar and Cia.
Meraríjeva sinova: Mahlí in Muší. Mahlíjeva sinova: Eleazar in Kiš.
22 And Eleazar died, and had no sons but daughters: and the sons of Cis their brethren took them.
Eleazar pa je umrl in ni imel sinov, temveč hčere in vzeli so jih njihovi bratje, Kiševi sinovi.
23 The sons of Musi: Moholi, and Eder, and Jerimoth, three.
Mušíjevi sinovi: Mahlí, Eder in Jeremót, trije.
24 These are the sons of Levi in their kindreds and families, princes by their courses, and the number of every head that did the works of the ministry of the house of the Lord from twenty years old and upward.
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 said: The Lord the God of Israel hath given rest to his people, and a habitation in Jerusalem for ever.
Kajti David je rekel: » Gospod, Izraelov Bog, je svojemu ljudstvu dal počitek, da bi na veke lahko prebivali v Jeruzalemu,
26 And it shall not be the office of the Levites to carry any more the tabernacle, and all the vessels for the service thereof.
in tudi Lévijevcem; ne bodo več nosili šotorskega svetišča niti nobene njegove posode za njegovo službo.«
27 So according to the last precepts of David, the sons of Levi are to be numbered from twenty years old and upward.
Kajti po zadnjih Davidovih besedah so bili Lévijevci prešteti od dvajsetih let starosti in naprej,
28 And they are to be under the hand of the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of the Lord, in the porches, 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.
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 And the priests have the charge of the leaves of proposition, and of the sacrifice of fine flour, and of the unleavened cakes, and of the fryingpan, and of the roasting, and of every weight and measure.
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 And the Levites are to stand in the morning to give thanks, and to sing praises to the Lord: and in like manner in the evening,
in da vsako jutro stojijo, da se zahvaljujejo in hvalijo Gospoda in prav tako zvečer.
31 As well in the oblation of the holocausts of the Lord, as in the sabbaths and in the new moons, and the rest of the solemnities, according to the number and ceremonies prescribed for every thing, continually before the Lord.
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 And let them keep the observances of the tabernacle of the covenant, and the ceremonies of the sanctuary, and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren, that they may minister in 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.
