1 Chronicles 23
1 When David was old, having lived a long life, he made his son Solomon king of Israel.
Torej ko je bil David star in izpolnjen z dnevi, je nad Izraelom postavil svojega sina Salomona.
2 He also summoned all the leaders of Israel, the priests, and the Levites.
Ta je zbral skupaj vse Izraelove prince, z duhovniki in Lévijevci.
3 The Levites over thirty years old were counted, and there was 38,000 in total.
Torej Lévijevci so bili prešteti od starosti tridesetih let in navzgor. Njihovo število po njihovih glavah, oseb, je bilo osemintrideset tisoč.
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.
»Izmed katerih je bilo štiriindvajset tisoč, da vodijo delo Gospodove hiše, šest tisoč pa je bilo častnikov in sodnikov.
5 “And 4,000 will be gatekeepers, while 4,000 will praise the Lord using the musical instruments I have provided for praise worship.”
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 David divided them into sections corresponding to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
David jih je razdelil v skupine med Lévijeve sinove, namreč Geršóna, Keháta in Meraríja.
7 The sons of Gershon: Ladan and Shimei.
Izmed Geršónovcev sta bila Ladán in Šimí.
8 The sons of Ladan: Jehiel (chief), and Zetham, and Joel, three in total.
Ladánovi sinovi: vodja je bil Jehiél, Zetám in Joél, trije.
9 The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran, three in total. These were the leaders of the families of Ladan.
Šimíjevi sinovi: Šelomít, Haziél in Harán, trije. To so bili vodje Ladánovih očetov.
10 The sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zizah, Jeush, and Beriah—four in total.
Šimíjevi sinovi so bili: Jahat, Ziná, Jeúš in Berijá. Ti štirje so bili Šimíjevi sinovi.
11 Jahath (chief), and Zizah (second); but because Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons they were counted as a single family.
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 Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel—a total of four.
Kehátovi sinovi: Amrám, Jichár, Hebrón in Uziél, štirje.
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.
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 As for Moses, the man of God, his sons were included with the tribe of Levi.
Torej glede Mojzesa, Božjega moža, njegovi sinovi so bili imenovani po Lévijevemu rodu.
15 The sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.
Mojzesova sinova sta bila Geršóm in Eliézer.
16 The sons of Gershom: Shebuel (chief).
Od Geršómovih sinov je bil vodja Šebuél.
17 The sons of Eliezer: Rehabiah (chief). Eliezer had no other sons, but Rehabiah had many sons.
Eliézerjevi sinovi so bili vodja Rehabjá. Eliézer pa ni imel nobenih drugih sinov, toda Rehabjájevih sinov je bilo zelo mnogo.
18 The sons of Izhar: Shelomith (chief).
Izmed Jichárjevih sinov: vodja Šelomít.
19 The sons of Hebron: Jeriah (chief), Amariah (second), Jahaziel (third), and Jekameam (fourth).
Izmed Hebrónovih sinov: prvi Jerijá, drugi Amarjá, tretji Jahaziél in četrti Jekamám.
20 The sons of Uzziel: Micah (chief) and Isshiah (second).
Uziélova sinova: prvi Miha in drugi Jišijá.
21 The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.
Meraríjeva sinova: Mahlí in Muší. Mahlíjeva sinova: Eleazar in Kiš.
22 Eleazar died without having sons, only daughters. Their cousins, the sons of Kish, married them.
Eleazar pa je umrl in ni imel sinov, temveč hčere in vzeli so jih njihovi bratje, Kiševi sinovi.
23 The sons of Mushi: Mahli, Eder, and Jeremoth—three in total.
Mušíjevi sinovi: Mahlí, Eder in Jeremót, trije.
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.
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, has given peace to his people, and he will live in Jerusalem forever.
Kajti David je rekel: » Gospod, Izraelov Bog, je svojemu ljudstvu dal počitek, da bi na veke lahko prebivali v Jeruzalemu,
26 So the Levites don't need to carry the Tent any longer, or anything needed for its service.”
in tudi Lévijevcem; ne bodo več nosili šotorskega svetišča niti nobene njegove posode za njegovo službo.«
27 In accordance with David's final instructions, Levites twenty years of age or more were counted.
Kajti po zadnjih Davidovih besedah so bili Lévijevci prešteti od dvajsetih let starosti in naprej,
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.
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 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.
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 They also had to stand every morning to give thanks and praise to the Lord, and do the same in the evening,
in da vsako jutro stojijo, da se zahvaljujejo in hvalijo Gospoda in prav tako zvečer.
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.
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 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.
in da naj se držijo zadolžitve šotorskega svetišča skupnosti in zadolžitve svetega kraja in zadolžitve Aronovih sinov, svojih bratov, v službi Gospodove hiše.
