1 Chronicles 23
1 So when Dauid was olde and full of dayes, he made Salomon his sonne King ouer Israel.
Igitur David senex et plenus dierum, regem constituit Salomonem filium suum super Israel.
2 And hee gathered together all the princes of Israel with the Priestes and the Leuites.
Et congregavit omnes principes Israel, et Sacerdotes atque Levitas.
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.
Numeratique sunt Levitae a viginti annis, et supra: et inventa sunt triginta octo millia virorum.
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.
Ex his electi sunt, et distributi in ministerium domus Domini viginti quattuor millia: praepositorum autem et iudicum sex millia.
5 And foure thousand were porters, and foure thousande praised the Lord with instruments which he made to praise the Lord.
Porro quattuor millia ianitores: et totidem psaltes canentes Domino in organis, quae fecerat ad canendum.
6 So Dauid deuided offices vnto them, to wit, to the sonnes of Leui, to Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
Et distribuit eos David per vices filiorum Levi, Gerson videlicet, et Caath, et Merari.
7 Of the Gershonites were Laadan and Shimei.
Filii Gerson: Leedan, et Semei.
8 The sonnes of Laadan, the chiefe was Iehiel, and Zetham and Ioel, three.
Filii Leedan: princeps Iahiel, et Zethan, et Ioel, tres.
9 The Sonnes of Shimei, Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haram, three: these were the chiefe fathers of Laadan.
Filii Semei: Salomith, et Hosiel, et Aran, tres: isti principes familiarum Leedan.
10 Also the sonnes of Shimei were Iahath, Zina, Ieush, and Beriah: these foure were ye sonnes of Shimei.
Porro filii Semei, Leheth, et Ziza, et Iaus, et Baria: isti filii Semei, quattuor.
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.
Erat autem Leheth prior, Ziza secundus: porro Iaus et Baria non habuerunt plurimos filios, et idcirco in una familia, unaque domo computati sunt.
12 The sonnes of Kohath were Amram, Izhar, Hebron aud Vzziel, foure.
Filii Caath: Amram, et Isaar, Hebron, et Oziel, quattuor.
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.
Filii Amram, Aaron et Moyses. Separatusque est Aaron ut ministraret in Sancto sanctorum, ipse et filii eius in sempiternum, et adoleret incensum Domino secundum ritum suum, ac benediceret nomini eius in perpetuum.
14 Moses also the man of God, and his children were named with the tribe of Leui.
Moysi quoque hominis Dei filii annumerati sunt in tribu Levi.
15 The sonnes of Moses were Gershom, and Eliezer,
Filii Moysi: Gersom, et Eliezer.
16 Of the sonnes of Gershom was Shebuel the chiefe.
Filii Gersom: Subuel primus.
17 And the sonne of Eliezer was Rehabiah the chiefe: for Eliezer had none other sonnes: but the sonnes of Rehabiah were very many.
Fuerunt autem filii Eliezer: Rohobia primus: et non erant Eliezer filii alii. Porro filii Rohobia multiplicati sunt nimis.
18 The sone of Izhar was Shelomith ye chiefe.
Filii Isaar: Salomith primus.
19 The sonnes of Hebron were Ieriah the first, Amariah the second, Iahaziel the third, and Iekamiam the fourth.
Filii Hebron: Ieriau primus, Amarias secundus, Iahaziel tertius, Iecmaam quartus.
20 The sones of Vzziel were Michah the first, and Isshiah the second.
Filii Oziel: Micha primus, Iesia secundus.
21 The sonnes of Merari were Mahli and Mushi. The sonnes of Mahli, Eleazar and Kish.
Filii Merari: Moholi, et Musi. Filii Moholi: Eleazar, et Cis.
22 And Eleazar dyed, and had no sonnes, but daughters, and their brethren the sonnes of Kish tooke them.
Mortuus est autem Eleazar, et non habuit filios, sed filias: acceperuntque eas filii Cis fratres earum.
23 The sonnes of Mushi were Mahli, and Eder, and Ierimoth, three.
Filii Musi: Moholi, et Eder, et Ierimoth, tres.
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.
Hi filii Levi in cognationibus, et familiis suis, principes per vices, et numerum capitum singulorum, qui faciebant opera ministerii domus Domini a viginti annis, et supra.
25 For Dauid sayde, The Lord God of Israel hath giuen rest vnto his people, that they may dwell in Ierusalem for euer.
Dixit enim David: Requiem dedit Dominus Deus Israel populo suo, et habitationem Ierusalem usque in aeternum.
26 And also the Leuites shall no more beare the Tabernacle and al the vessels for the seruice thereof.
Nec erit officii Levitarum ut ultra portent tabernaculum, et omnia vasa eius ad ministrandum.
27 Therefore according to the last wordes of Dauid, the Leuites were nombred from twentie yeere and aboue,
Iuxta praecepta quoque David novissima supputabitur numerus filiorum Levi a viginti annis et supra.
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,
Et erunt sub manu filiorum Aaron in cultum domus Domini, in vestibulis, et in exedris, et in loco purificationis, et in sanctuario, et in universis operibus ministerii templi Domini.
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,
Sacerdotes autem, super panes propositionis, et ad similae sacrificium, et ad lagana et azyma, et sartaginem, et ad torrendum, et super omne pondus atque mensuram.
30 And for to stand euery morning, to giue thanks and praise to the Lord, and likewise at euen,
Levitae vero ut stent mane ad confitendum, et canendum Domino: similiterque ad vesperam
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,
tam in oblatione holocaustorum Domini, quam in sabbatis et Calendis et sollemnitatibus reliquis iuxta numerum, et ceremonias uniuscuiusque rei, iugiter coram Domino.
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.
Et custodiant observationes tabernaculi foederis, et ritum sanctuarii, et observationem filiorum Aaron fratrum suorum, ut ministrent in domo Domini.
