1 Chronicles 23
1 So when Dauid was olde and full of dayes, he made Salomon his sonne King ouer Israel.
Da David var blevet gammel og mæt af Dage, gjorde han sin Søn Salomo til Konge over Israel.
2 And hee gathered together all the princes of Israel with the Priestes and the Leuites.
Han samlede alle Israels Øverster og Præsterne og Leviterne.
3 And the Leuites were numbred from ye age of thirtie yeere and aboue, and their nomber according to their summe was eight and thirtie thousand men.
Og Leviterne blev talt fra Trediveaarsalderen og opefter, og deres Tal udgjorde, Hoved for Hoved, Mand for Mand, 38 000.
4 Of these foure and twentie thousande were set to aduance the worke of the house of the Lord, and sixe thousand were ouerseers and iudges.
»Af dem, « sagde han, »skal 24 000 forestaa Arbejdet ved HERRENS Hus, 6000 være Tilsynsmænd og Dommere,
5 And foure thousand were porters, and foure thousande praised the Lord with instruments which he made to praise the Lord.
4000 være Dørvogtere og 4000 love HERREN med de Instrumenter, jeg har ladet lave til Lovsangen.«
6 So Dauid deuided offices vnto them, to wit, to the sonnes of Leui, to Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
Og David inddelte dem i Skifter efter Levis Sønner Gerson, Kehat og Merari.
7 Of the Gershonites were Laadan and Shimei.
Til Gersoniterne hørte: Ladan og Sjim'i;
8 The sonnes of Laadan, the chiefe was Iehiel, and Zetham and Ioel, three.
Ladans Sønner: Jehiel, som var Overhoved, Zetam og Joel, tre;
9 The Sonnes of Shimei, Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haram, three: these were the chiefe fathers of Laadan.
Sjim'is Sønner: Sjelomit, Haziel og Haran, tre. De var Overhoveder for Ladans Fædrenehuse.
10 Also the sonnes of Shimei were Iahath, Zina, Ieush, and Beriah: these foure were ye sonnes of Shimei.
Sjim'is Sønner: Jahat, Ziza, Je'usj og Beri'a. Disse fire var Sjim'is Sønner.
11 And Iahath was the chiefe, and Zizah the seconde, but Ieush and Beriah had not many sonnes: therfore they were in the families of their father, counted but as one.
Jahat var Overhoved og Ziza den næste; Je'usj og Beri'a havde ikke mange Sønner og regnedes derfor for eet Fædrenehus, eet Embedsskifte.
12 The sonnes of Kohath were Amram, Izhar, Hebron aud Vzziel, foure.
Kehatiterne: Amram, Jizhar, Hebron og Uzziel, fire;
13 The sonnes of Amram, Aaron and Moses: and Aaron was separated to sanctifie the most holy place, hee and his sonnes for euer to burne incense before the Lord, to minister to him, and to blesse in his Name for euer.
Amrams Sønner: Aron og Moses. Aron udskiltes sammen med sine Sønner til at helliges som højhellig til evig Tid, til at tænde Offerild for HERRENS Aasyn, til at tjene ham og velsigne i hans Navn til evig Tid.
14 Moses also the man of God, and his children were named with the tribe of Leui.
Den Guds Mand Moses's Sønner regnedes derimod til Levis Stamme.
15 The sonnes of Moses were Gershom, and Eliezer,
Moses's Sønner: Gersom og Eliezer;
16 Of the sonnes of Gershom was Shebuel the chiefe.
Gersoms Sønner; Sjubael, som var Overhoved;
17 And the sonne of Eliezer was Rehabiah the chiefe: for Eliezer had none other sonnes: but the sonnes of Rehabiah were very many.
Eliezers Sønner: Rehabja, som var Overhoved; andre Sønner havde Eliezer ikke, men Rehabjas Sønner var overmaade talrige.
18 The sone of Izhar was Shelomith ye chiefe.
Jizhars Sønner: Sjelomit, som var Overhoved.
19 The sonnes of Hebron were Ieriah the first, Amariah the second, Iahaziel the third, and Iekamiam the fourth.
Hebrons Sønner: Jerija, som var Overhoved, Amarja den anden, Uzziel den tredje, Jekam'am den fjerde.
20 The sones of Vzziel were Michah the first, and Isshiah the second.
Uzziels Sønner: Mika, som var Overhoved, og Jissjija den anden.
21 The sonnes of Merari were Mahli and Mushi. The sonnes of Mahli, Eleazar and Kish.
Merariterne var: Mali og Musji. Malis Sønner: El'azar og Kisj.
22 And Eleazar dyed, and had no sonnes, but daughters, and their brethren the sonnes of Kish tooke them.
El'azar efterlod sig ved sin Død ingen Sønner, men kun Døtre, som deres Brødre, Kisj's Sønner, ægtede.
23 The sonnes of Mushi were Mahli, and Eder, and Ierimoth, three.
Musjis Sønner: Mali, Eder og Jeremot, tre.
24 These were the sonnes of Leui according to the house of their fathers, euen the chiefe fathers according to their offices, according to the nomber of names and their summe that did the worke for the seruice of the house of the Lord from the age of twentie yeeres and aboue.
Det var Levis Sønner efter deres Fædrenehuse, Overhovederne for Fædrenehusene, de, som mønstredes ved Optælling af Navnene, Hoved for Hoved, de, som udførte Arbejdet ved Tjenesten i HERRENS Hus, fra Tyveaarsalderen og opefter.
25 For Dauid sayde, The Lord God of Israel hath giuen rest vnto his people, that they may dwell in Ierusalem for euer.
Thi David tænkte: »HERREN, Israels Gud, har skaffet sit Folk Ro og taget Bolig i Jerusalem for evigt;
26 And also the Leuites shall no more beare the Tabernacle and al the vessels for the seruice thereof.
derfor behøver Leviterne heller ikke mere at bære Boligen og alle de Ting, som hører til dens Tjeneste.«
27 Therefore according to the last wordes of Dauid, the Leuites were nombred from twentie yeere and aboue,
(Ifølge Davids sidste Forordninger regnes Tallet paa Leviterne fra Tyveaarsalderen og opefter).
28 And their office was vnder the hand of the sonnes of Aaron, for the seruice of the house of the Lord in the courtes, and chambers, and in the purifiyng of all holy thinges, and in the worke of the seruice of the house of God,
Men deres Plads er ved Arons Sønners Side, for at de kan udføre Tjenesten i HERRENS Hus; de skal tage sig af Forgaardene, Kamrene, Renholdelsen af alle de hellige Ting og Arbejdet, der skal udføres i Guds Hus;
29 Both for the shewbread, and for the fine floure, for the meate offring, and for the vnleauened cakes, and for the fryed things, and for that which was rosted, and for all measures and cise,
de skal sørge for Skuebrødene, Melet til Afgrødeofrene, de usyrede Fladbrød, Panden, Dejgen og alle Rum— og Længdemaal;
30 And for to stand euery morning, to giue thanks and praise to the Lord, and likewise at euen,
hver Morgen skal de staa og love og prise HERREN, ligesaa om Aftenen,
31 And to offer all burnt offrings vnto the Lord, in the Sabbaths, in the moneths, and at the appointed times, according to the nomber and according to their custome continually before the Lord,
og hver Gang der ofres Brændofre til HERREN paa Sabbaterne, Nymaanedagene og Højtiderne; i det fastsatte Antal efter den for dem gældende Forskrift skal de altid staa for HERRENS Aasyn.
32 And that they should keepe the charge of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and the charge of ye holy place, and the charge of ye sonnes of Aaron their brethren in the seruice of ye house of the Lord.
Saaledes skal de tage Vare paa, hvad der er at varetage ved Aabenbaringsteltet og ved det hellige og hjælpe deres Brødre, Arons Sønner, med Tjenesten i HERRENS Hus.
