1 Chronicles 23
1 Now David was old and full of days; and he made Solomon his son king over Israel.
Ostarjevši i nauživši se dana, postavi David svoga sina Salomona kraljem nad Izraelom.
2 And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.
Potom skupi sve izraelske knezove, svećenike i levite.
3 And the Levites were numbered from thirty years old and upward; and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty and eight thousand.
On izbroji levite od trideset godina naviše, i bilo ih je po muškim glavama trideset i osam tisuća.
4 Of these, twenty and four thousand were to oversee the work of the house of the LORD; and six thousand were officers and judges;
Između njih bilo je dvadeset i četiri tisuće onih koji su upravljali poslom oko Jahvina Doma, a šest tisuća nadzornika i sudaca,
5 and four thousand were doorkeepers; and four thousand praised the LORD 'with the instruments which I made to praise therewith.'
četiri tisuće vratara i četiri tisuće onih koji su hvalili Jahvu uz glazbala što ih je napravio za hvalu.
6 And David divided them into courses according to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
David ih razdijeli na redove po Levijevim sinovima: Geršonu, Kehatu i Merariju.
7 Of the Gershonites: Ladan, and Shimei.
Od Geršonova su koljena bili: Ladan i Šimej.
8 The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the chief, and Zetham, and Joel, three.
Ladanovi sinovi: poglavari Jehiel, Zetam i Joel, njih trojica.
9 The sons of Shimei: Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the heads of the fathers' houses of Ladan.
Šimejevi sinovi: Šelomit, Haziel i Haram, njih trojica; to su poglavari Ladanovih obitelji.
10 And the sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.
Šimejevi sinovi: Jahat, Zina, Jeuš i Berija. Ta su četvorica Šimejevi sinovi.
11 And Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second; but Jeush and Beriah had not many sons; therefore they became a fathers' house in one reckoning.
Jahat je bio poglavar, a drugi Ziza; a Jeuš i Berija nisu imali mnogo djece, zato su se brojili u jednu obitelj, u jedan razred.
12 The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.
Kehatovi sinovi: Amram, Jishar, Hebron i Uziel, četvorica.
13 The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses; and Aaron was separated, that he should be sanctified as most holy, he and his sons for ever, to offer before the LORD, to minister unto Him, and to bless in His name for ever.
Amramovi sinovi: Aron i Mojsije. Aron je bio određen da posvećuje Svetinju nad svetinjama; on i njegovi sinovi dovijeka da kade pred Jahvom, da mu služe i da blagoslivljaju u njegovo ime dovijeka.
14 But as for Moses the man of God, his sons are named among the tribe of Levi.
Mojsije je bio Božji čovjek. Njegovi se sinovi broje u Levijevo pleme.
15 The sons of Moses: Gershom, and Eliezer.
Mojsijevi su sinovi Geršom i Eliezer.
16 The sons of Gershom: Shebuel the chief.
Geršomovi sinovi: poglavar Šebuel.
17 And the sons of Eliezer were: Rehabiah the chief. And Eliezer had no other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.
Eliezerovi su sinovi bili: poglavar Rehabja. Eliezer nije imao drugih sinova, nego su se Rehabjini sinovi vrlo namnožili.
18 The sons of Izhar: Shelomith the chief.
Jisharovi sinovi: poglavar Šelomit.
19 The sons of Hebron: Jeriah the chief, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
Hebronovi sinovi: poglavar Jerija, drugi Amarja, treći Jahaziel, četvrti Jekamam.
20 The sons of Uzziel: Micah the chief, and Isshiah the second.
Uzielovi sinovi: poglavar Mika, drugi Ješija.
21 The sons of Merari: Mahli, and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar, and Kish.
Merarijevi sinovi: Mahli i Muši. Mahlijevi sinovi: Eleazar i Kiš.
22 And Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters only; and their brethren the sons of Kish took them to wife.
Eleazar je umro nemajući sinova, nego samo kćeri, koje su sebi uzeli za žene njihovi rođaci, Kiševi sinovi.
23 The sons of Mushi: Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three.
Mušijevi sinovi: Mahli, Eder i Jerimot, trojica.
24 These were the sons of Levi after their fathers' houses, even the heads of the fathers' houses, according to their muster, in the number of names by their polls, who did the work for the service of the house of the LORD, from twenty years old and upward.
To su bili Levijevi sinovi po obiteljima, poglavari porodica, koji su bili popisani poimence; oni su radili posao za službu Jahvina Doma u dobi od dvadeset godina naviše.
25 For David said: 'The LORD, the God of Israel, hath given rest unto His people, and He dwelleth in Jerusalem for ever;
David je rekao: “Jahve, Izraelov Bog, dao je mir svojem narodu i živjet će u Jeruzalemu zauvijek.
26 and also the Levites shall no more have need to carry the tabernacle and all the vessels of it for the service thereof.'
Zato ni leviti neće više nositi Prebivališta ni svakovrsnog pribora za njegovu službu.”
27 For by the last ordinances of David the sons of Levi were numbered from twenty years old and upward.
Po posljednjim Davidovim riječima, bili su izbrojeni Levijevi sinovi od dvadeset godina naviše.
28 For their station was at the side of the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of the LORD, in the courts, and in the chambers, and in the purifying of all holy things, even the work of the service of the house of God;
Bili su određeni da budu kraj Aronovih sinova u službi u Jahvinu Domu, u predvorjima i u dvoranama, da čiste sve svete stvari, da rade u službi oko Jahvina Doma,
29 for the showbread also, and for the fine flour for a meal-offering, whether of unleavened wafers, or of that which is baked on the griddle, or of that which is soaked, and for all manner of measure and size;
oko prinesenih hljebova, oko sitnog brašna za prinos, oko beskvasnih kolača pripravljenih na tavi i u ulju zamiješenih i oko mjera za sadržaj i dužinu;
30 and to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD, and likewise at even;
da pristupaju svakoga jutra, da slave i hvale Jahvu; tako i večerom.
31 and to offer all burnt-offerings unto the LORD, on the sabbaths, on the new moons, and in the appointed seasons, in number according to the ordinance concerning them, continually, before the LORD;
A kad se god prinose paljenice Jahvi, subotom, za mlađaka i na blagdane, da dolaze prema svom broju, po svom redu, svagdje pred Jahvu.
32 and that they should keep the charge of the tent of meeting, and the charge of the holy place, and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren, for the service of the house of the LORD.
I da vrše što treba vršiti u Šatoru sastanka, službu u Svetištu i službu za svoju braću, Aronove sinove, u službi oko Jahvina Doma.
