1 Chronicles 23
1 And David was old and satisfied with days, and he causes his son Solomon to reign over Israel,
Nigain-kantetse t’i Davide naho nilifots’andro; vaho nanoe’e mpanjaka’ Israele t’i Selomò ana-dahi’e.
2 and gathers all the heads of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites;
Le natonto’e iaby o roandria’ Israeleo naho o mpisoroñeo vaho o nte-Levio.
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.
Niaheñe amo añambone’eo ki-ondaty-ondaty, o nte-Levy telopolo taoñe mañamboneo, le ni-telo-ale-tsi-valo-arivo.
4 Of these, twenty-four thousand [are] to preside over the work of the house of YHWH, and six thousand 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 and four thousand gatekeepers, and four thousand giving praise to YHWH, “with instruments that I made for praising,” [says David.]
le efats’arivo ty hañamben-dalambey; vaho efats’ arivo ty hisabo am’ Iehovà amo fititihañe niranjieko ho fijejoañeo.
6 And David distributes them into divisions of the sons of Levi—of Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
Zinara’ i Davide am-pirimboñañe o ana’ i Levio: i Gersone, i Kehàte vaho i Merarý.
7 Of the Gershonite: Laadan and Shimei.
Amo nte-Gersoneo: i Ladane naho i Simeý.
8 Sons of Laadan: the head [is] Jehiel, and Zetham, and Joel—three.
O ana’ i Ladaneo: Iekiele ty nimpiaolo naho i Zetame vaho Ioele, telo.
9 Sons of Shimei: Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran—three; these [are] heads 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 sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah; these [are] the four 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 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.
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 Sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel—four.
O ana’ i Kehàteo: I Amrame, Iitshare, i Kebrone vaho i Oziele, efatse.
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.
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 As for Moses, the man of God, his sons are called after the tribe of Levi.
Niaheñe am-pifokoa’ i Levy ao o ana’ i Mosè, ondatin’ Añahareo.
15 Sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.
O ana’ i Mosèo: i Gersome naho i Eliezere.
16 Sons of Gershom: Shebuel the head.
O ana’ i Gersomeo: i Seboele, talè.
17 And sons of Eliezer are Rehabiah the head, and Eliezer had no other sons, and the sons of Rehabiah have multiplied exceedingly.
Ana’ i Eliezere t’i Rekabià, talè. Tsy nanañ’ anake ila’e t’i Eliezere fe tsiefa ty anadahi’ i Rekabia.
18 Sons of Izhar: Shelomith the head.
O ana’ Iitshareo: i Selomite, talè.
19 Sons of Hebron: Jeriah the head, 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 Sons of Uzziel: Micah the head, and Ishshiah the second.
O ana’ i Ozieleo: i Mikà, tañoloñoloña’e naho Iesià, faharoe.
21 Sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi; 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 dies, and he had no sons, but daughters, and their brothers, sons of Kish, take them.
Nivilasy tsy aman’ ana-dahy t’i Eleazare, f’ie nanañ’ anak’ ampela, le nengae’ o rahalahi’e ana’ i Kiseo iereo.
23 Sons of Mushi: Mahli, and Eder, and Jerimoth—three.
O ana’ i Mosio: i Maklý naho i Edere vaho Ieremote, telo.
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,
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, “YHWH, God of Israel, has given rest to His people, and He dwells in Jerusalem for all time”;
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 of the Levites, “None [are] to carry the Dwelling Place and all its vessels for its service”;
Le o nte-Levio: tsy ho tarazoe’ iereo ka i kivohoy ndra o fana-pitoloñañeo.
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 ty tsara’ fara’ i D’avide, le ty famoliliañe o nte-Levy roapolo taoñe mañamboneo.
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,
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 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;
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, morning by morning, to give thanks, and to give praise to YHWH, and so at evening;
naho t’ie hijohañe eo boa-maraiñe, hañandriañe naho handrenge Iehovà, naho hariva ka;
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.
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 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.
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.
