1 Chronicles 23
1 And David was old and satisfied with days, and he causes his son Solomon to reign over Israel,
Ostarjevši i nauživši se dana, postavi David svoga sina Salomona kraljem nad Izraelom.
2 and gathers all the heads of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites;
Potom skupi sve izraelske knezove, svećenike i levite.
3 and the Levites are numbered from a son of thirty years and upward, and their number, for their counted heads, is of thirty-eight thousand mighty men.
On izbroji levite od trideset godina naviše, i bilo ih je po muškim glavama trideset i osam tisuća.
4 Of these, twenty-four thousand [are] to preside over the work of the house of YHWH, and six thousand 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 gatekeepers, and four thousand giving praise to YHWH, “with instruments that I made for praising,” [says David.]
četiri tisuće vratara i četiri tisuće onih koji su hvalili Jahvu uz glazbala što ih je napravio za hvalu.
6 And David distributes them into divisions of the sons of Levi—of Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
David ih razdijeli na redove po Levijevim sinovima: Geršonu, Kehatu i Merariju.
7 Of the Gershonite: Laadan and Shimei.
Od Geršonova su koljena bili: Ladan i Šimej.
8 Sons of Laadan: the head [is] Jehiel, and Zetham, and Joel—three.
Ladanovi sinovi: poglavari Jehiel, Zetam i Joel, njih trojica.
9 Sons of Shimei: Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran—three; these [are] heads of the fathers of Laadan.
Šimejevi sinovi: Šelomit, Haziel i Haram, njih trojica; to su poglavari Ladanovih obitelji.
10 And sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah; these [are] the four sons of Shimei.
Šimejevi sinovi: Jahat, Zina, Jeuš i Berija. Ta su četvorica Šimejevi sinovi.
11 And Jahath is the head, and Zizah the second, and Jeush and Beriah have not multiplied sons, and they become the house of a father by one numbering.
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 Sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel—four.
Kehatovi sinovi: Amram, Jishar, Hebron i Uziel, četvorica.
13 Sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses; and Aaron is separated for his sanctifying the Holy of Holies, he and his sons, for all time, to make incense before YHWH, to serve Him, and to bless in His Name for all time.
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 As for Moses, the man of God, his sons are called after the tribe of Levi.
Mojsije je bio Božji čovjek. Njegovi se sinovi broje u Levijevo pleme.
15 Sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.
Mojsijevi su sinovi Geršom i Eliezer.
16 Sons of Gershom: Shebuel the head.
Geršomovi sinovi: poglavar Šebuel.
17 And sons of Eliezer are Rehabiah the head, and Eliezer had no other sons, and the sons of Rehabiah have multiplied exceedingly.
Eliezerovi su sinovi bili: poglavar Rehabja. Eliezer nije imao drugih sinova, nego su se Rehabjini sinovi vrlo namnožili.
18 Sons of Izhar: Shelomith the head.
Jisharovi sinovi: poglavar Šelomit.
19 Sons of Hebron: Jeriah the head, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
Hebronovi sinovi: poglavar Jerija, drugi Amarja, treći Jahaziel, četvrti Jekamam.
20 Sons of Uzziel: Micah the head, and Ishshiah the second.
Uzielovi sinovi: poglavar Mika, drugi Ješija.
21 Sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi; sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.
Merarijevi sinovi: Mahli i Muši. Mahlijevi sinovi: Eleazar i Kiš.
22 And Eleazar dies, and he had no sons, but daughters, and their brothers, sons of Kish, take them.
Eleazar je umro nemajući sinova, nego samo kćeri, koje su sebi uzeli za žene njihovi rođaci, Kiševi sinovi.
23 Sons of Mushi: Mahli, and Eder, and Jerimoth—three.
Mušijevi sinovi: Mahli, Eder i Jerimot, trojica.
24 These [are] sons of Levi, by the house of their fathers, heads of the fathers, by their appointments, in the number of names, by their counted heads, doing the work for the service of the house of YHWH, from a son of twenty years 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, “YHWH, God of Israel, has given rest to His people, and He dwells in Jerusalem for all time”;
David je rekao: “Jahve, Izraelov Bog, dao je mir svojem narodu i živjet će u Jeruzalemu zauvijek.
26 and also of the Levites, “None [are] to carry the Dwelling Place and all its vessels for its service”;
Zato ni leviti neće više nositi Prebivališta ni svakovrsnog pribora za njegovu službu.”
27 for by the last words of David they [took] the number of the sons of Levi from a son of twenty years and upward,
Po posljednjim Davidovim riječima, bili su izbrojeni Levijevi sinovi od dvadeset godina naviše.
28 for their station [is] at the side of the sons of Aaron, for the service of the house of YHWH, over the courts, and over the chambers, and over the cleansing of every holy thing, and 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 and for the bread of the arrangement, and for fine flour for present, and for the thin unleavened cakes, and for [the work of] the pan, and for that which is stirred, and for all [liquid] measure and [solid] measure;
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, morning by morning, to give thanks, and to give praise to YHWH, and so at evening;
da pristupaju svakoga jutra, da slave i hvale Jahvu; tako i večerom.
31 and for all the burnt-offerings—burnt-offerings to YHWH for Sabbaths, for new moons, and for appointed times, by number, according to the ordinance on them continually, before YHWH.
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 they have kept the charge of the Tent of Meeting, and the charge of the holy place, and the charge of their brothers, the sons of Aaron, for the service of the house of YHWH.
I da vrše što treba vršiti u Šatoru sastanka, službu u Svetištu i službu za svoju braću, Aronove sinove, u službi oko Jahvina Doma.
