1 Chronicles 23
1 And David was old and satisfied with days, and he causes his son Solomon to reign over Israel,
Igitur David senex et plenus dierum, regem constituit Salomonem filium suum super Israel.
2 and gathers all the heads of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites;
Et congregavit omnes principes Israel, et Sacerdotes atque Levitas.
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.
Numeratique sunt Levitae a viginti annis, et supra: et inventa sunt triginta octo millia virorum.
4 Of these, twenty-four thousand [are] to preside over the work of the house of YHWH, and six thousand officers and judges,
Ex his electi sunt, et distributi in ministerium domus Domini viginti quattuor millia: praepositorum autem et iudicum sex millia.
5 and four thousand gatekeepers, and four thousand giving praise to YHWH, “with instruments that I made for praising,” [says David.]
Porro quattuor millia ianitores: et totidem psaltes canentes Domino in organis, quae fecerat ad canendum.
6 And David distributes them into divisions of the sons of Levi—of Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
Et distribuit eos David per vices filiorum Levi, Gerson videlicet, et Caath, et Merari.
7 Of the Gershonite: Laadan and Shimei.
Filii Gerson: Leedan, et Semei.
8 Sons of Laadan: the head [is] Jehiel, and Zetham, and Joel—three.
Filii Leedan: princeps Iahiel, et Zethan, et Ioel, tres.
9 Sons of Shimei: Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran—three; these [are] heads of the fathers of Laadan.
Filii Semei: Salomith, et Hosiel, et Aran, tres: isti principes familiarum Leedan.
10 And sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah; these [are] the four sons of Shimei.
Porro filii Semei, Leheth, et Ziza, et Iaus, et Baria: isti filii Semei, quattuor.
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.
Erat autem Leheth prior, Ziza secundus: porro Iaus et Baria non habuerunt plurimos filios, et idcirco in una familia, unaque domo computati sunt.
12 Sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel—four.
Filii Caath: Amram, et Isaar, Hebron, et Oziel, quattuor.
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.
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 As for Moses, the man of God, his sons are called after the tribe of Levi.
Moysi quoque hominis Dei filii annumerati sunt in tribu Levi.
15 Sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.
Filii Moysi: Gersom, et Eliezer.
16 Sons of Gershom: Shebuel the head.
Filii Gersom: Subuel primus.
17 And sons of Eliezer are Rehabiah the head, and Eliezer had no other sons, and the sons of Rehabiah have multiplied exceedingly.
Fuerunt autem filii Eliezer: Rohobia primus: et non erant Eliezer filii alii. Porro filii Rohobia multiplicati sunt nimis.
18 Sons of Izhar: Shelomith the head.
Filii Isaar: Salomith primus.
19 Sons of Hebron: Jeriah the head, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
Filii Hebron: Ieriau primus, Amarias secundus, Iahaziel tertius, Iecmaam quartus.
20 Sons of Uzziel: Micah the head, and Ishshiah the second.
Filii Oziel: Micha primus, Iesia secundus.
21 Sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi; sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.
Filii Merari: Moholi, et Musi. Filii Moholi: Eleazar, et Cis.
22 And Eleazar dies, and he had no sons, but daughters, and their brothers, sons of Kish, take them.
Mortuus est autem Eleazar, et non habuit filios, sed filias: acceperuntque eas filii Cis fratres earum.
23 Sons of Mushi: Mahli, and Eder, and Jerimoth—three.
Filii Musi: Moholi, et Eder, et Ierimoth, tres.
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,
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 David said, “YHWH, God of Israel, has given rest to His people, and He dwells in Jerusalem for all time”;
Dixit enim David: Requiem dedit Dominus Deus Israel populo suo, et habitationem Ierusalem usque in aeternum.
26 and also of the Levites, “None [are] to carry the Dwelling Place and all its vessels for its service”;
Nec erit officii Levitarum ut ultra portent tabernaculum, et omnia vasa eius ad ministrandum.
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,
Iuxta praecepta quoque David novissima supputabitur numerus filiorum Levi a viginti annis et supra.
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,
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 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;
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 to stand, morning by morning, to give thanks, and to give praise to YHWH, and so at evening;
Levitae vero ut stent mane ad confitendum, et canendum Domino: similiterque ad vesperam
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.
tam in oblatione holocaustorum Domini, quam in sabbatis et Calendis et sollemnitatibus reliquis iuxta numerum, et ceremonias uniuscuiusque rei, iugiter coram Domino.
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.
Et custodiant observationes tabernaculi foederis, et ritum sanctuarii, et observationem filiorum Aaron fratrum suorum, ut ministrent in domo Domini.
