1 Chronicles 23
1 When David was old, having lived a long life, he made his son Solomon king of Israel.
Ke David el matuoh el oru tuh Solomon, wen natul, elan tokosra fin Israel.
2 He also summoned all the leaders of Israel, the priests, and the Levites.
Tokosra David el pangoneni mwet kol nukewa lun mwet Israel, oayapa mwet tol ac mwet Levi.
3 The Levites over thirty years old were counted, and there was 38,000 in total.
El oakla pisen mukul nukewa sin mwet Levi su oasr ke yac tolngoulyak, ac sun mwet tolngoul oalkosr tausin.
4 “Of these 24,000 will be in charge of the work of the house of the LORD, while 6,000 will be officers and judges,” David instructed.
Na tokosra el sulela longoul akosr tausin sin mwet inge in fosrngakin orekma lun Tempul, ac onkosr tausin in karingin ma simusla nukewa, oayapa nununku fohsak inmasrlon mwet uh,
5 “And 4,000 will be gatekeepers, while 4,000 will praise the Lord using the musical instruments I have provided for praise worship.”
akosr tausin in mwet topang, ac akosr tausin in kaksakin LEUM GOD ke mwe on ma tokosra el sang nu selos in orekmakin nu ke sripa se inge.
6 David divided them into sections corresponding to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
Tokosra David el kitalik mwet Levi nu ke u tolu, fal nu ke sou lulap inge: Gershon, Kohath, ac Merari.
7 The sons of Gershon: Ladan and Shimei.
Oasr wen luo natul Gershon: elos pa Ladan ac Shimei.
8 The sons of Ladan: Jehiel (chief), and Zetham, and Joel, three in total.
Oasr wen tolu natul Ladan: elos pa Jehiel, Zetham, ac Joel,
9 The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran, three in total. These were the leaders of the families of Ladan.
ac elos sifen sou ke fwil natul Ladan. (Oasr wen tolu natul Shimei: Shelomoth, Haziel, ac Haran.)
10 The sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zizah, Jeush, and Beriah—four in total.
Oasr wen akosr natul Shimei, ac pa inge inelos, takla fal nu ke matwalos: Jahath, Zina, Jeush, ac Beriah.
11 Jahath (chief), and Zizah (second); but because Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons they were counted as a single family.
Tia pus wen natul Jeush ac Beriah, na pa elos oaoala oana sou sefanna.
12 The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel—a total of four.
Oasr wen akosr natul Kohath: elos pa Amram, Izhar, Hebron, ac Uzziel.
13 The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses. Aaron was dedicated to service with the most holy things, that he and his sons should always present offerings to the Lord, and minister before him, and give blessings in his name forever.
Amram el wounse, ac el pa papa tumal Aaron ac Moses. (Aaron ac fwil natul elos sriyukla in karinganang ma mutal ke Tempul ma pahtpat, oayapa elos in akosak mwe kisa keng ke pacl in alu nu sin LEUM GOD, ac kulansupwal, ac akinsewowoye mwet uh Inel.
14 As for Moses, the man of God, his sons were included with the tribe of Levi.
Tusruktu wen natul Moses [mwet se su pangpang mwet lun God] elos oaoa in mwet Levi.)
15 The sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.
Oasr wen luo natul Moses: elos pa Gershom ac Eliezer.
16 The sons of Gershom: Shebuel (chief).
Inmasrlon wen natul Gershom, Shebuel pa mwet kol selos uh.
17 The sons of Eliezer: Rehabiah (chief). Eliezer had no other sons, but Rehabiah had many sons.
Wen sefanna natul Eliezer: el pa Rehabiah, ac pukanten mwet in fwil natul Rehabiah.
18 The sons of Izhar: Shelomith (chief).
Izhar, wen se akluo natul Kohath, oasr wen se natul: inel pa Shelomith, su el pa sifen sou sac.
19 The sons of Hebron: Jeriah (chief), Amariah (second), Jahaziel (third), and Jekameam (fourth).
Hebron, wen se aktolu natul Kohath, oasr wen akosr natul: elos pa Jeriah, Amariah, Jahaziel, ac Jekameam.
20 The sons of Uzziel: Micah (chief) and Isshiah (second).
Uzziel, wen se akakosr natul Kohath, oasr wen luo natul: elos pa Micah ac Isshiah.
21 The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.
Oasr wen luo natul Merari: elos pa Mahli ac Mushi. Oasr pac wen luo natul Mahli: elos pa Eleazar ac Kish,
22 Eleazar died without having sons, only daughters. Their cousins, the sons of Kish, married them.
tusruktu Eleazar el misa ac wangin wen natul, a acn mukena. Acn natul inge elos payuk sin wen natul Kish, su ma wien papa tumaltal.
23 The sons of Mushi: Mahli, Eder, and Jeremoth—three in total.
Mushi, wen se akluo natul Merari, oasr wen tolu natul: elos pa Mahli, Eder, ac Jeremoth.
24 These were the descendants of Levi by family, the heads of families chiefs listed individually by name—those twenty years of age or more who served in the house of the Lord.
Pa ingan fwil natul Levi, ac kais sie selos simla inelos fal nu ke takin sou lalos. Na elos nukewa su yac longoulyak oasr ip kunalos ke orekma in Tempul lun LEUM GOD.
25 For David said, “The Lord, the God of Israel, has given peace to his people, and he will live in Jerusalem forever.
David el fahk, “LEUM GOD lun Israel El sang misla nu sin mwet lal, ac El ac fah sifacna muta in Jerusalem ma pahtpat.
26 So the Levites don't need to carry the Tent any longer, or anything needed for its service.”
Ke ma inge, mwet Levi elos tia sifil enenu in us Lohm Nuknuk sin LEUM GOD ac ma orekmakinyuk ke pacl in alu.”
27 In accordance with David's final instructions, Levites twenty years of age or more were counted.
Ke sripen oakwuk safla lal David inge, mwet Levi nukewa elos enenu in simla inelos ac akola nu ke moul in kulansap ke elos sun yac longoul.
28 Their assignment was to help the descendants of Aaron with the service of the house of the Lord They were responsible for the courtyards and rooms, for cleansing all the holy things, and the work of the service of the house of God.
Orekma kunalos pa inge: in kasru mwet tol ke fwil natul Aaron ke pacl in alu, in karinganang inkalkal lun Tempul ac infukil nukewa we, ac taran tuh ma mutal nukewa in nasnas ac tia fohkfok.
29 They were also responsible for the showbread that was placed on the table, the special flour for the grain offerings, the unleavened bread, the baking, the mixing, and dealing with all amounts and measurements.
Ma kunalos pac in akoo bread ma kisakinyuk nu sin God, ac flao ma orekmakinyuk ke mwe kisa, ku lof srisrik wangin mwe pulol kac, ac mwe kisa manman, ac flao ma kulamisyuk ke oil in olive, oayapa elos pa srikeya ac pauni mwe sang nukewa ma utuku nu in Tempul uh.
30 They also had to stand every morning to give thanks and praise to the Lord, and do the same in the evening,
Elos pa oru on in kaksak nu sin LEUM GOD ke lotutang ac eku nukewa,
31 and whenever burnt offerings were presented to the Lord whether on Sabbaths, new moons, and feast days. They were to serve regularly before the Lord according to the number required for them.
oayapa ke pacl nukewa ma mwe kisa firir orek nu sin LEUM GOD ke len Sabbath, ke Malem Sasu, ac ke kufwa saya. Oasr ma sap oakwuki in fahkak pisen mwet Levi ma eneneyuk nu ke orekma inge ke kais sie pacl. Ma kunen mwet Levi in karingin pacl in alu nu sin LEUM GOD nwe tok.
32 So the Levites were to carry out the responsibility of caring for the Tent of Meeting and the sanctuary, and with their brothers the descendants of Aaron, they served the house of the Lord.
Elos pa karinganang Lohm Nuknuk sin LEUM GOD oayapa Tempul, ac elos pa kasru mwet tol wialos in fwil natul Aaron, ke pacl in alu in Tempul.
