1 Chronicles 23
1 SO when David was old and full of days, he made Solomon his son king over Israel.
Nigain-kantetse t’i Davide naho nilifots’andro; vaho nanoe’e mpanjaka’ Israele t’i Selomò ana-dahi’e.
2 And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.
Le natonto’e iaby o roandria’ Israeleo naho o mpisoroñeo vaho o nte-Levio.
3 Now the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty years and upward: and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty and eight thousand.
Niaheñe amo añambone’eo ki-ondaty-ondaty, o nte-Levy telopolo taoñe mañamboneo, le ni-telo-ale-tsi-valo-arivo.
4 Of which, twenty and four thousand were to set forward the work of the house of the Lord; and six thousand were officers and judges:
Ro’ale-tsi-efats’ arivo am’ iereo ty hisary ty fitoloñañe amy anjomba’ Iehovày; le eneñ’ arivo ty ho mpifeleke naho mpizaka;
5 Moreover four thousand were porters; and four thousand praised the Lord with the instruments which I made, said David, to praise therewith.
le efats’arivo ty hañamben-dalambey; vaho efats’ arivo ty hisabo am’ Iehovà amo fititihañe niranjieko ho fijejoañeo.
6 And David divided them into courses among the sons of Levi, namely, Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
Zinara’ i Davide am-pirimboñañe o ana’ i Levio: i Gersone, i Kehàte vaho i Merarý.
7 Of the Gershonites were, Laadan, and Shimei.
Amo nte-Gersoneo: i Ladane naho i Simeý.
8 The sons of Laadan; the chief was Jehiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three.
O ana’ i Ladaneo: Iekiele ty nimpiaolo naho i Zetame vaho Ioele, telo.
9 The sons of Shimei; Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the chief of the fathers of Laadan.
O ana’ i Simeio; i Selomite naho i Kaziele vaho i Harane, telo. Iereo ty nimpiaolo añ’ anjomba’ i Ladane rae’e.
10 And the sons of Shimei were, Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.
O ana’ i Simeìo: Iakate, i Zinà naho Iehose vaho i Beria. I efatse rey ro ana’ i Simeý.
11 And Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second: but Jeush and Beriah had not many sons; therefore they were in one reckoning, according to their father’s house.
Talè t’Iakate, faha-roe t’i Zizà; le tsy nimaro anake t’Iehose naho i Berià vaho nivolilieñe ho raike iereo ty aman’ anjomban-droae.
12 The sons of Kohath; Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.
O ana’ i Kehàteo: I Amrame, Iitshare, i Kebrone vaho i Oziele, efatse.
13 The sons of Amram; Aaron and Moses: and Aaron was separated, that he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons for ever, to burn incense before the Lord, to minister unto him, and to bless in his name for ever.
O ana’ i Amrameo: i Aharone naho i Mosè; navike t’i Aharone, nambahañe hiavake do’e, ie naho o ana-dahi’e nainai’e doniao, hañembok’ añatrefa’ Iehovà naho hitoroñe aze vaho hibango i tahina’ey nainai’e.
14 Now concerning Moses the man of God, his sons were named of the tribe of Levi.
Niaheñe am-pifokoa’ i Levy ao o ana’ i Mosè, ondatin’ Añahareo.
15 The sons of Moses were, Gershom, and Eliezer.
O ana’ i Mosèo: i Gersome naho i Eliezere.
16 Of the sons of Gershom, Shebuel was the chief.
O ana’ i Gersomeo: i Seboele, talè.
17 And the sons of Eliezer were, Rehabiah the chief. And Eliezer had none other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.
Ana’ i Eliezere t’i Rekabià, talè. Tsy nanañ’ anake ila’e t’i Eliezere fe tsiefa ty anadahi’ i Rekabia.
18 Of the sons of Izhar; Shelomith the chief.
O ana’ Iitshareo: i Selomite, talè.
19 Of the sons of Hebron; Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
O ana’ i Kebroneo: Ierià, tañoloñoloña’e, i Amarià ty faharoe, Iakaziele ty fahatelo vaho Iekameame ty fahefatse.
20 Of the sons of Uzziel; Michah the first, and Jesiah the second.
O ana’ i Ozieleo: i Mikà, tañoloñoloña’e naho Iesià, faharoe.
21 The sons of Merari; Mahli, and Mushi. The sons of Mahli; Eleazar, and Kish.
O ana’ i Merario: i Maklý naho i Mosý. Le o ana’ i Maklìo: I Eleazare naho i Kise.
22 And Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters: and their brethren the sons of Kish took them.
Nivilasy tsy aman’ ana-dahy t’i Eleazare, f’ie nanañ’ anak’ ampela, le nengae’ o rahalahi’e ana’ i Kiseo iereo.
23 The sons of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three.
O ana’ i Mosio: i Maklý naho i Edere vaho Ieremote, telo.
24 These were the sons of Levi after the house of their fathers; even the chief of the fathers, as they were counted by number of names by their polls, that did the work for the service of the house of the Lord, from the age of twenty years and upward.
Izay o ana’ i Levio amo anjomban-droae’eo; o talèn-droae’eo, ie vinolily an’ iake ty amo tahina’eo, ty amo añambone’eo; o nifanehak’ am-pitoloñañe añ’ anjomba’ Iehovà ao boak’an-tao’e faha-roapolo mañamboneo.
25 For David said, The Lord God of Israel hath given rest unto his people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem for ever:
Ami’ty nanoe’ i Davide ty hoe, Fa tinolo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele fitofàñe ondati’eo; ie himoneñe e Ierosalaime ao nainai’e.
26 And also unto the Levites; they shall no more carry the tabernacle, nor any vessels of it for the service thereof.
Le o nte-Levio: tsy ho tarazoe’ iereo ka i kivohoy ndra o fana-pitoloñañeo.
27 For by the last words of David the Levites were numbered from twenty years old and above:
Fa ty tsara’ fara’ i D’avide, le ty famoliliañe o nte-Levy roapolo taoñe mañamboneo.
28 Because their office was to wait on 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, and the work of the service of the house of God;
Amy te nampijadoñeñe am-pità’ o ana’ i Aharoneo ty fitoloñañe añ’anjomba’ Iehovà ao, an-kiririsa’e ao naho amo efets’ efe’eo naho amy fañeferañe o raha masiñe iabioy vaho ty fitoroñañe añ’ anjomban’ Añahare,
29 Both for the shewbread, and for the fine flour for meat offering, and for the unleavened cakes, and for that which is baked in the pan, and for that which is fried, and for all manner of measure and size;
amy mofo miatrekey naho amy mona’e ho enga-mahakamay naho ty mofo-pila’e tsy aman-dalivay, ke t’ie toñaheñe añ’ endraendra he alaro menake naho ze hene fañaranañe naho fanjeheañe;
30 And to stand every morning to thank and praise the Lord, and likewise at even;
naho t’ie hijohañe eo boa-maraiñe, hañandriañe naho handrenge Iehovà, naho hariva ka;
31 And to offer all burnt sacrifices unto the Lord in the sabbaths, in the new moons, and on the set feasts, by number, according to the order commanded unto them, continually before the Lord:
naho hañenga ze hene soroñe am’ Iehovà, amo Sabatao naho amo pea-bolañeo naho amo andro namantañañeo, ami’ty ia’e nafetse, añatrefa’ Iehovà nainai’ey;
32 And that they should keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the holy place, and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren, in the service of the house of the Lord.
vaho hañambeñe i kivohom-pamantañañey naho hañambeñe i toetse masiñey naho hiaolo o ana-dahi’ i Aharone, roahalahi’eo, ami’ty fitoroñañe añ’ anjomba’ Iehovà ao.
