Chronicles I 23
1 And David was old and full of days; and he made Solomon his son king over Israel in his stead.
Alò, lè David te vin granmoun, li te fè fis li Salomon, wa sou Israël.
2 And he assembled all the chief men of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites.
Li te ranmase tout chèf Israël yo avèk prèt ak Levit yo.
3 And the Levites numbered [themselves] from thirty years old and upward; and their number by their polls amounted to thirty and eight thousand men.
Levit yo te kontwole soti nan trant ane oswa plis e fòs non pa yo selon gwo chif kontwòl la, te trant-uit-mil.
4 Of the overseers over the works of the house of the Lord [there were] twenty-four thousand, and [there were] six thousand scribes and judges;
Nan sila yo, venn-kat-mil te pou sipèvize lèv lakay SENYÈ a, si-mil te ofisye avèk jij,
5 and four thousand doorkeepers, and four thousand to praise the Lord with instruments which he made to praise the Lord.
kat-mil te gadyen pòtay yo, e kat-mil ki pou louwe SENYÈ a avèk enstriman ke David te fè pou bay lwanj yo.
6 And David divided them [into] daily courses, for the sons of Levi, for Gedson, Caath, and Merari.
David te divize yo an gwoup selon fanmi de fis yo a Lévi: Guerschon, Kehath, ak Merari.
7 And for [the family of] Gedson, Edan, and Semei.
Nan Gèshonit yo: Laedan avèk Schimeï.
8 The sons of Edan [were] Jeiel, the chief, and Zethan, and Joel, three.
Fis a Laedan yo: Jehiel, premye a, Zétham ak Joël, ki fè twa.
9 The sons of Semei; Salomith, Jeiel, and Dan, three: these [were] the chiefs of the families of Edan.
Fis a Shimei yo: Schelomith, Haziel avèk Haran, ki fè twa. Sila yo se te chèf lakay zansèt a Ladann yo.
10 And to the sons of Semei, Jeth, and Ziza, and Joas, and Beria: these [were] the four sons of Semei.
Fis a Shimei yo: Jahath, Zina, Jeush avèk Berlah. Kat sila yo te fis a Schimeï.
11 And Jeth was the chief, and Ziza the second: and Joas and Beria did not multiply sons, and they became [only] one reckoning according to the house of their father.
Jachath se te premye a e Zina dezyèm nan; men Jeusch avèk Beria pa t fè anpil fis; akoz sa, yo te fòme yon sèl kay zansèt, yon sèl gwoup.
12 The sons of Caath; Ambram, Isaar, Chebron, Oziel, four.
Fis a Kehath yo: Amram, Jitsehar, Hébron avèk Uziel, kat.
13 The sons of Ambram; Aaron and Moses: and Aaron was appointed for the consecration of the most holy things, he and his sons for ever, to burn incense before the Lord, to minister and bless in his name for ever.
Fis a Anram yo: Aaron avèk Moïse. Epi Aaron te mete apa pou l te kab sanktifye li kote ki pi sen pase tout kote a, li menm avèk fis pa li yo jis pou tout tan, pou brile lansan devan SENYÈ a, pou fè sèvis pa Li, e pou beni nan non Li jis pou tout tan.
14 And [as for] Moses the man of God, his sons were reckoned to the tribe of Levi.
Men Moïse, nonm Bondye a, fis pa li yo te rele pami tribi Lévi a.
15 The sons of Moses; Gersam, and Eliezer.
Fis a Moïse yo: Guerschom avèk Éliézer.
16 The sons of Gersam; Subael the chief.
Fis a Guerschom yo: Schebuel, chèf la.
17 And the sons of Eliezer were, Rabia the chief: and Eliezer had no other sons; but the sons of Rabia were very greatly multiplied.
Fis a Éliézer a te Rechabia, chèf la. Éliézer pa t gen lòt fis, men fis a Rechabia yo te an gran kantite.
18 The sons of Isaar; Salomoth the chief.
Fis a Jitsehar a: Schelomith, chèf la.
19 The sons of Chebron; Jeria the chief, Amaria the second, Jeziel the third, Jekemias the fourth.
Fis a Hébron yo: Jerija, premye a; Amaria, dezyèm nan, Jachaziel, twazyèm nan; epi Jekameam, katriyèm nan.
20 The sons of Oziel; Micha the chief, and Isia the second.
Fis a Uziel yo: Michée, premye a ak Jischija, dezyèm nan.
21 The sons of Merari; Mooli, and Musi: the sons of Mooli; Eleazar, and Kis.
Fis a Merari yo: Machli avèk Muschi. Fis a Machli yo: Éléazar avèk Kis.
22 And Eleazar died, and he had no sons, but daughters: and the sons of Kis, their brethren, took them.
Éléazar te mouri san fè fis, men fi sèlman; pou sa, frè pa yo, fis a Kis yo te pran yo kon madanm pa yo.
23 The sons of Musi; Mooli, and Eder, and Jarimoth, three.
Fis a Muschi yo: Machli, Éder avèk Jerémoth, twa.
24 These [are] the sons of Levi according to the houses of their fathers; chiefs of their families according to their numbering, according to the number of their names, according to their polls, doing the works of service of the house of the Lord, from twenty years old and upward.
Sila yo se te fis a Lévi selon lakay zansèt pa yo, menm lakay zansèt a sila ki te kontwole nan kantite non nan gwo chif kontwòl la, sila ki t ap fè travay lakay SENYÈ a, soti nan ventan oswa plis.
25 For David said, The Lord God of Israel has given rest to his people, and has taken up his abode in Jerusalem for ever.
Paske David te di: “SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, te bay repo a pèp Li a, e Li va abite Jérusalem jis pou tout tan.
26 And the Levites bore not the tabernacle, and all the vessels of it for its service.
Anplis, Levit yo p ap ankò bezwen pote tabènak avèk tout zouti li yo pou sèvis li.”
27 For by the last words of David was the number of the Levites [taken] from twenty years old and upward.
Paske pa dènye pawòl a David yo, fis a Levi yo te kontwole soti ventan oswa plis.
28 For he appointed them to wait on Aaron, to minister in the house of the Lord, over the courts, and over the chambers, and over the purification of all the holy things, and over the works of the service of the house of God;
Paske wòl pa yo se pou ede fis a Aaron yo avèk sèvis lakay SENYÈ a, nan gwo lakou yo, nan chanm yo ak nan pirifye tout bagay sen yo, menm travay a sèvis lakay Bondye a,
29 and for the show-bread, and for the fine flour of the meat-offering, and for the unleavened cakes, and for the fried cake, and for the dough, and for every measure;
epi avèk pen konsakre ak farin fen pou yon ofrann sereyal, galèt san ledven, oswa sa ki kwit nan veso, ni sa ki byen mele ak tout mezi a volim oswa gwosè yo.
30 and to stand in the morning to praise and give thanks to the Lord, and so in the evening;
Yo gen pou kanpe chak maten pou bay remèsiman avèk lwanj a SENYÈ a, e menm jan an nan aswè,
31 and [to be] over all the whole burnt offerings that were offered up to the Lord on the sabbaths, and at the new moons, and at the feasts, by number, according to the order [given] to them, continually before the Lord.
epi pou ofri tout ofrann brile a SENYÈ a, nan Saba yo, nan nouvèl lin yo, avèk fèt etabli yo nan kontwòl ki òdone selon òdonans de yo menm, tout tan san rete devan SENYÈ a.
32 And they are to keep the charge of the tabernacle of witness, and the charge of the holy place, and the charges of the sons of Aaron their brethren, to minister in the house of the Lord.
Konsa yo gen pou kenbe chaj sou asanble tant yo, chaj sou plas sen an e chaj sou fis Aaron yo, fanmi pa yo, pou sèvis lakay SENYÈ a.
