1 Chronicles 23
1 And David was old and satisfied with days, and he causes his son Solomon to reign over Israel,
Ary nony efa ela niainana sy tratrantitra tsara Davida, dia Solomona zanany no nataony mpanjaka tamin’ ny Isiraely.
2 and gathers all the heads of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites;
Ary novoriny ny lehiben’ ny Isiraely rehetra mbamin’ ny mpisorona sy ny Levita.
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.
Ary nisaina ny Levita hatramin’ ny telo-polo taona no ho miakatra, ka valo arivo amby telo alina no isan’ ny lehilahy.
4 Of these, twenty-four thousand [are] to preside over the work of the house of YHWH, and six thousand officers and judges,
Ary hoy Davida: Ny efatra arivo amby roa alina amin’ ireo dia ataoko ho tonian’ ny asa ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah, ary ny enina arivo ataoko mpifehy sy mpitsara,
5 and four thousand gatekeepers, and four thousand giving praise to YHWH, “with instruments that I made for praising,” [says David.]
ary ny efatra arivo ho mpiandry varavarana, ary ny efatra arivo ho mpidera an’ i Jehovah amin’ ny zavatra namboariko hiderana Azy.
6 And David distributes them into divisions of the sons of Levi—of Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
Ary nozarazarain’ i Davida ho antokony ireo araka ny zanakalahin’ i Levy, dia Gersona sy Kehata sy Merary:
7 Of the Gershonite: Laadan and Shimei.
Tamin’ ny Gersonita dia Ladana sy Simey.
8 Sons of Laadan: the head [is] Jehiel, and Zetham, and Joel—three.
Ny zanakalahin’ i Ladana dia Jehiela lohany sy Zetama ary Joela; telo izy.
9 Sons of Shimei: Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran—three; these [are] heads of the fathers of Laadan.
Ny zanakalahin’ i Simey dia Selomota sy Haziela ary Harana; telo izy. Ireo no lohany tamin’ ny fianakavian’ i Ladana.
10 And sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah; these [are] the four sons of Shimei.
Ary ny zanakalahin’ i Simey dia Jahata sy Zina sy Jeosy ary Beria; izy efa-dahy ireo no zanakalahin’ i Simey.
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.
Ary Jahata no lohany, ary Ziza no faharoany; fa Jeosy sy Beria tsy nanana zanakalahy maro, ka dia nisaina ho fianakaviana iray sy antokony iray izy.
12 Sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel—four.
Ny zanakalahin’ i Kehata dia Amrama sy Jizara sy Hebrona ary Oziela; efatra izy.
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.
Ny zanakalahin’ i Amrama dia Arona sy Mosesy. Ary Arona natokana ka nohamasinina ho masìna indrindra, dia izy sy ny taranany mandrakizay, handoro ditin-kazo manitra eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah sy hanao fanompoam-pivavahana ho Azy ary hitso-drano amin’ ny anarany mandrakizay.
14 As for Moses, the man of God, his sons are called after the tribe of Levi.
Nefa ny amin’ i Mosesy, lehilahin’ Andriamanitra, dia nisaina tamin’ ny firenen’ i Levy ihany ny zanany.
15 Sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.
Ny zanakalahin’ i Mosesy dia Gersona sy Eliezera.
16 Sons of Gershom: Shebuel the head.
Tamin’ ny zanakalahin’ i Gersona dia Seboela no lohany.
17 And sons of Eliezer are Rehabiah the head, and Eliezer had no other sons, and the sons of Rehabiah have multiplied exceedingly.
Ary tamin’ ny zanakalahin’ i Eliezera dia Rehabia no lohany (Eliezera anefa tsy nanan-janaka hafa); fa ny zanak’ i Rehabia dia maro indrindra.
18 Sons of Izhar: Shelomith the head.
Tamin’ ny zanakalahin’ i Jizara dia Selomota no lohany.
19 Sons of Hebron: Jeriah the head, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
Ny zanakalahin’ i Hebrona, dia Jeria no lahimatoa, Amaria no lahiaivo, Jahaziela no fahatelo, ary Jekameama no faralahy.
20 Sons of Uzziel: Micah the head, and Ishshiah the second.
Ny zanakalahin’ i Oziela, dia Mita no lahimatoa, ary Jisia no faralahy.
21 Sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi; sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.
Ny zanakalahin’ i Merary dia Maly sy Mosy. Ny zanakalahin’ i Maly dia Eleazara sy Kisy.
22 And Eleazar dies, and he had no sons, but daughters, and their brothers, sons of Kish, take them.
Ary maty Eleazara ka tsy nanan-janakalahy, fa vavy avokoa; ary ireny zanakalahin’ i Kisy havany no nanambady ireo.
23 Sons of Mushi: Mahli, and Eder, and Jerimoth—three.
Ny zanakalahin’ i Mosy dia Maly sy Edera ary Jeremota; telo izy.
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,
Ireo no zanakalahin’ i Levy araka ny fianakaviany, dia ny lohan’ ny fianakaviana tamin’ ny antokony avy araka ny nanisana ny anarany tsirairay, dia izay nanao ny fanompoana tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah, hatramin’ ny roa-polo taona no ho miakatra.
25 for David said, “YHWH, God of Israel, has given rest to His people, and He dwells in Jerusalem for all time”;
Fa hoy Davida: Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, efa nanome fitsaharana ho an’ ny olony sady mitoetra eto Jerosalema mandrakizay.
26 and also of the Levites, “None [are] to carry the Dwelling Place and all its vessels for its service”;
Ary ny Levita kosa dia tsy hitondra ny tabernakely na ny fanaka enti-manompo ao aminy intsony.
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,
Fa araka ny fara-tenin’ i Davida dia nisaina hatramin’ ny roa-polo taona no ho miakatra ny Levita.
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,
Ary ny raharahany dia ny hanampy ny taranak’ i Arona amin’ ny fanompoana ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah amin’ ireo kianja sy efi-trano tao ary amin’ ny fanadiovana ny zavatra masìna rehetra sy ny fanompoana ao an-tranon’ Andriamanitra,
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;
ary amin’ ny mofo aseho sy ny koba tsara toto ho fanatitra hohanina sy amin’ ny mofo manify tsy misy masirasira sy amin’ izay endasina amin’ ny lapoely sy amin’ izay vonton-diloilo ary amin’ ny famarana sy ny fandrefesana rehetra,
30 and to stand, morning by morning, to give thanks, and to give praise to YHWH, and so at evening;
ary ny hitsangana isa-maraina hisaotra sy hidera an’ i Jehovah, ary toy izany koa amin’ ny hariva,
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.
ary ny hanatitra ny fanatitra dorana rehetra ho an’ i Jehovah na amin’ ny Sabata, na amin’ ny voaloham-bolana, na amin’ ny fotoam-pivavahana hafa dia araka ny isany avy, sy araka ny fanao voatendry hanaovana azy mandrakariva eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah.
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.
Aoka ho toy izany no hitandremany ny anjara-raharahany ny amin’ ny trano-lay fihaonana sy ny anjara-raharahany ny amin’ ny fitoerana masìna ary ny anjara-raharahany ny amin’ ny taranak’ i Arona rahalahiny ho fanompoana ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah.
