1 Chronicles 23
1 Now, David, was old, and satisfied with days, —so he made Solomon his son king, over Israel;
| وَلَمَّا شَاخَ دَاوُدُ وَشَبِعَ أَيَّامًا مَلَّكَ سُلَيْمَانَ ٱبْنَهُ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ١ |
2 and gathered together all the rulers of Israel, with the priests, and the Levites.
| وَجَمَعَ كُلَّ رُؤَسَاءِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱللَّاوِيِّينَ، | ٢ |
3 Now the Levites were numbered, from thirty years old and upwards, —and their number by their polls, of mature men, was thirty-eight thousand.
| فَعُدَّ ٱللَّاوِيُّونَ مِنِ ٱبْنِ ثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً فَمَا فَوْقُ، فَكَانَ عَدَدُهُمْ حَسَبَ رُؤُوسِهِمْ مِنَ ٱلرِّجَالِ ثَمَانِيَةً وَثَلَاثِينَ أَلْفًا. | ٣ |
4 Of these—to preside over the work of the house of Yahweh, were twenty-four thousand, —and officers and judges, six thousand;
| مِنْ هَؤُلَاءِ لِلْمُنَاظَرَةِ عَلَى عَمَلِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ أَرْبَعَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ أَلْفًا. وَسِتَّةُ آلَافٍ عُرَفَاءُ وَقُضَاةٌ. | ٤ |
5 and four thousand, were doorkeepers, —and, four thousand, were offerers of praise unto Yahweh, with instruments, which [said David] I made for offering praise.
| وَأَرْبَعَةُ آلَافٍ بَوَّابُونَ، وَأَرْبَعَةُ آلَافٍ مُسَبِّحُونَ لِلرَّبِّ بِٱلْآلَاتِ ٱلَّتِي عُمِلَتْ لِلتَّسْبِيحِ. | ٥ |
6 And David divided them into courses, —pertaining to the sons of Levi, to Gershon, Kohath and Merari.
| وَقَسَمَهُمْ دَاوُدُ فِرَقًا لِبَنِي لَاوِي: لِجَرْشُونَ وَقَهَاتَ وَمَرَارِي. | ٦ |
7 Of the Gershonites, Ladan and Shimei.
| مِنَ ٱلْجَرْشُونِيِّينَ: لَعْدَانُ وَشَمْعِي. | ٧ |
8 The sons of Ladan, the chief Jehiel, and Zetham and Joel, three.
| بَنُو لَعْدَانَ: ٱلرَّأْسُ يَحِيئِيلُ ثُمَّ زِيثَامُ وَيُوئِيلُ، ثَلَاثَةٌ. | ٨ |
9 The sons of Shimei, Shelomoth and Haziel and Haran, three, —these, were the ancestral chiefs of Ladan.
| بَنُو شَمْعِي: شَلُومِيثُ وَحَزِيئِيلُ وَهَارَانُ، ثَلَاثَةٌ. هَؤُلَاءِ رُؤُوسُ آبَاءٍ لِلَعْدَانَ. | ٩ |
10 And, the sons of Shimei, Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah, —these, were the sons of Shimei, four.
| وَبَنُو شَمْعِي: يَحَثُ وَزِينَا وَيَعُوشُ وَبَرِيعَةُ. هَؤُلَاءِ بَنُو شَمْعِي أَرْبَعَةٌ. | ١٠ |
11 And Jahath was chief, and Zizah the second, —but, Jeush and Beriah, had not many sons, so they became an ancestral house, by one reckoning.
| وَكَانَ يَحَثُ ٱلرَّأْسَ وَزِيزَةُ ٱلثَّانِيَ. أَمَّا يَعُوشُ وَبَرِيعَةُ فَلَمْ يُكَثِّرَا ٱلْأَوْلَادَ، فَكَانُوا فِي ٱلْإِحْصَاءِ لِبَيْتِ أَبٍ وَاحِدٍ. | ١١ |
12 The sons of Kohath, Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.
| بَنُو قَهَاتَ: عَمْرَامُ وَيِصْهَارُ وَحَبْرُونُ وَعُزِّيئِيلُ، أَرْبَعَةٌ. | ١٢ |
13 The sons of Amram, Aaron and Moses, —and Aaron was separated, to hallow the holy of holies, he and his sons, unto times age-abiding, to make a perfume before Yahweh, to be in attendance upon him, and to bless in his name, unto times age-abiding;
| اِبْنَا عَمْرَامَ: هَارُونُ وَمُوسَى، وَأُفْرِزَ هَارُونُ لِتَقْدِيسِهِ قُدْسَ أَقْدَاسٍ هُوَ وَبَنُوهُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، لِيُوقِدَ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَيَخْدِمَهُ وَيُبَارِكَ بِٱسْمِهِ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. | ١٣ |
14 and, as for Moses, the man of God, his sons, were called unto the tribe of Levi.
| وَأَمَّا مُوسَى رَجُلُ ٱللهِ فَدُعِيَ بَنُوهُ مَعَ سِبْطِ لَاوِي. | ١٤ |
15 The sons of Moses, were Gershom, and Eliezer.
| اِبْنَا مُوسَى: جَرْشُومُ وَأَلِيعَزَرُ. | ١٥ |
16 the sons of Gershom, were Shebuel the chief;
| بَنُو جَرْشُومَ: شَبُوئِيلُ ٱلرَّأْسُ. | ١٦ |
17 and the sons of Eliezer were Rehabiah the chief, —and Eliezer had no other sons, but, the sons of Rehabiah, were very many.
| وَكَانَ ٱبْنُ أَلِيعَزَرَ: رَحَبْيَا ٱلرَّأْسَ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لِأَلِيعَزَرَ بَنُونَ آخَرُونَ. وَأَمَّا بَنُو رَحَبْيَا فَكَانُوا كَثِيرِينَ جِدًّا. | ١٧ |
18 The sons of Izhar, Shelomith the chief.
| بَنُو يِصْهَارَ: شَلُومِيثُ ٱلرَّأْسُ. | ١٨ |
19 The sons of Hebron, Jeriah the chief, Amariah the second, Jehaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
| بَنُو حَبْرُونَ: يَرِيَّا ٱلرَّأْسُ وَأَمَرْيَا ٱلثَّانِي وَيَحْزِيئِيلُ ٱلثَّالِثُ وَيَقْمَعَامُ ٱلرَّابِعُ. | ١٩ |
20 The sons of Uzziel, Micah the chief, and Isshiah the second.
| اِبْنَا عُزِّيئِيلَ: مِيخَا ٱلرَّأْسُ وَيَشِّيَّا ٱلثَّانِي. | ٢٠ |
21 The sons of Merari, were Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli, were Eleazar and Kish.
| اِبْنَا مَرَارِي: مَحْلِي وَمُوشِي. اِبْنَا مَحْلِي: أَلِعَازَارُ وَقَيْسُ. | ٢١ |
22 But Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters only, —and so the sons of Kish their brethren took them.
| وَمَاتَ أَلِعَازَارُ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ بَنُونَ بَلْ بَنَاتٌ، فَأَخَذَهُنَّ بَنُو قَيْسَ إِخْوَتُهُنَّ. | ٢٢ |
23 The sons of Mushi, were Mahli and Eder and Jeremoth, three.
| بَنُو مُوشِي: مَحْلِي وَعَادِرُ وَيَرِيمُوثُ، ثَلَاثَةٌ. | ٢٣ |
24 These, were the sons of Levi by their ancestral house, the ancestral chiefs of them who were counted in the number of their names, by their polls, doing the work, for the service of the house of Yahweh, —from twenty years old, and upwards.
| هَؤُلَاءِ بَنُو لَاوِي حَسَبَ بُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ رُؤُوسُ ٱلْآبَاءِ حَسَبَ إِحْصَائِهِمْ فِي عَدَدِ ٱلْأَسْمَاءِ حَسَبَ رُؤُوسِهِمْ عَامِلُو ٱلْعَمَلِ لِخِدْمَةِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ، مِنِ ٱبْنِ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً فَمَا فَوْقُ. | ٢٤ |
25 For, said David, Yahweh the God of Israel hath given rest unto his people, —and hath taken up his habitation in Jerusalem, unto times age-abiding;
| لِأَنَّ دَاوُدَ قَالَ: «قَدْ أَرَاحَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ شَعْبَهُ فَسَكَنَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. | ٢٥ |
26 moreover also, as for the Levites, they have no need to bear the habitation, nor any of its vessels in the laborious work thereof.
| وَلَيْسَ لِلَّاوِيِّينَ بَعْدُ أَنْ يَحْمِلُوا ٱلْمَسْكَنَ وَكُلَّ آنِيَتِهِ لِخِدْمَتِهِ». | ٢٦ |
27 For, by the last words of David, the same, were the number of the sons of Levi, —from twenty years old, and upwards.
| لِأَنَّهُ حَسَبَ كَلَامِ دَاوُدَ ٱلْأَخِيرِ عُدَّ بَنُو لَاوِي مِنِ ٱبْنِ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً فَمَا فَوْقُ. | ٢٧ |
28 For, their duty, was—to be in attendance upon the sons of Aaron, in the laborious work of the house of Yahweh, over the courts, and over the chambers, and over the purifying of everything holy, —and doing the laborious work, of the house of God;
| لِأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يَقِفُونَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ بَنِي هَارُونَ عَلَى خِدْمَةِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي ٱلدُّورِ وَٱلْمَخَادِعِ، وَعَلَى تَطْهِيرِ كُلِّ قُدْسٍ وَعَمَلِ خِدْمَةِ بَيْتِ ٱللهِ، | ٢٨ |
29 and for the bread set in array, and for the fine meal for the meal-offering, and for the unleavened cakes, even for that which is baked in a pan, for the moistened food, —even of every measure, and size;
| وَعَلَى خُبْزِ ٱلْوُجُوهِ وَدَقِيقِ ٱلتَّقْدِمَةِ وَرِقَاقِ ٱلْفَطِيرِ وَمَا يُعْمَلُ عَلَى ٱلصَّاجِ وَٱلْمَرْبُوكَاتِ وَعَلَى كُلِّ كَيْلٍ وَقِيَاسٍ، | ٢٩ |
30 and to stand, morning by morning, to give thanks and offer praise unto Yahweh, —and, likewise, at even;
| وَلِأَجْلِ ٱلْوُقُوفِ كُلَّ صَبَاحٍ لِحَمْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَتَسْبِيحِهِ وَكَذَلِكَ فِي ٱلْمَسَاءِ، | ٣٠ |
31 and for all the offering of ascending-sacrifices unto Yahweh, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the set feasts, —by number, according to the manner prescribed for them continually, before Yahweh; —
| وَلِكُلِّ إِصْعَادِ مُحْرَقَاتٍ لِلرَّبِّ فِي ٱلسُّبُوتِ وَٱلْأَهِلَّةِ وَٱلْمَوَاسِمِ بِٱلْعَدَدِ حَسَبَ ٱلْمَرْسُومِ عَلَيْهِمْ دَائِمًا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ، | ٣١ |
32 and they shall keep the charge of the tent of meeting, and the charge of the holy place, and the charge of the sons of Aaron, their brethren, —in the laborious work of the house of Yahweh.
| وَلِيَحْرُسُوا حِرَاسَةَ خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ، وَحِرَاسَةَ ٱلْقُدْسِ، وَحِرَاسَةَ بَنِي هَارُونَ إِخْوَتِهِمْ فِي خِدْمَةِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٣٢ |
