1 Chronicles 23
1 Now, David, was old, and satisfied with days, —so he made Solomon his son king, over Israel;
Ostarjevši i nauživši se dana, postavi David svoga sina Salomona kraljem nad Izraelom.
2 and gathered together all the rulers of Israel, with the priests, and the Levites.
Potom skupi sve izraelske knezove, svećenike i levite.
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.
On izbroji levite od trideset godina naviše, i bilo ih je po muškim glavama trideset i osam tisuća.
4 Of these—to preside over the work of the house of Yahweh, were twenty-four thousand, —and officers and judges, six thousand;
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, were doorkeepers, —and, four thousand, were offerers of praise unto Yahweh, with instruments, which [said David] I made for offering praise.
četiri tisuće vratara i četiri tisuće onih koji su hvalili Jahvu uz glazbala što ih je napravio za hvalu.
6 And David divided them into courses, —pertaining to the sons of Levi, to Gershon, Kohath and Merari.
David ih razdijeli na redove po Levijevim sinovima: Geršonu, Kehatu i Merariju.
7 Of the Gershonites, Ladan and Shimei.
Od Geršonova su koljena bili: Ladan i Šimej.
8 The sons of Ladan, the chief Jehiel, and Zetham and Joel, three.
Ladanovi sinovi: poglavari Jehiel, Zetam i Joel, njih trojica.
9 The sons of Shimei, Shelomoth and Haziel and Haran, three, —these, were the ancestral chiefs of Ladan.
Šimejevi sinovi: Šelomit, Haziel i Haram, njih trojica; to su poglavari Ladanovih obitelji.
10 And, the sons of Shimei, Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah, —these, were the sons of Shimei, four.
Šimejevi sinovi: Jahat, Zina, Jeuš i Berija. Ta su četvorica Šimejevi sinovi.
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.
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 The sons of Kohath, Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.
Kehatovi sinovi: Amram, Jishar, Hebron i Uziel, četvorica.
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;
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 and, as for Moses, the man of God, his sons, were called unto the tribe of Levi.
Mojsije je bio Božji čovjek. Njegovi se sinovi broje u Levijevo pleme.
15 The sons of Moses, were Gershom, and Eliezer.
Mojsijevi su sinovi Geršom i Eliezer.
16 the sons of Gershom, were Shebuel the chief;
Geršomovi sinovi: poglavar Šebuel.
17 and the sons of Eliezer were Rehabiah the chief, —and Eliezer had no other sons, but, the sons of Rehabiah, were very many.
Eliezerovi su sinovi bili: poglavar Rehabja. Eliezer nije imao drugih sinova, nego su se Rehabjini sinovi vrlo namnožili.
18 The sons of Izhar, Shelomith the chief.
Jisharovi sinovi: poglavar Šelomit.
19 The sons of Hebron, Jeriah the chief, Amariah the second, Jehaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
Hebronovi sinovi: poglavar Jerija, drugi Amarja, treći Jahaziel, četvrti Jekamam.
20 The sons of Uzziel, Micah the chief, and Isshiah the second.
Uzielovi sinovi: poglavar Mika, drugi Ješija.
21 The sons of Merari, were Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli, were Eleazar and Kish.
Merarijevi sinovi: Mahli i Muši. Mahlijevi sinovi: Eleazar i Kiš.
22 But Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters only, —and so the sons of Kish their brethren took them.
Eleazar je umro nemajući sinova, nego samo kćeri, koje su sebi uzeli za žene njihovi rođaci, Kiševi sinovi.
23 The sons of Mushi, were Mahli and Eder and Jeremoth, three.
Mušijevi sinovi: Mahli, Eder i Jerimot, trojica.
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.
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, 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;
David je rekao: “Jahve, Izraelov Bog, dao je mir svojem narodu i živjet će u Jeruzalemu zauvijek.
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.
Zato ni leviti neće više nositi Prebivališta ni svakovrsnog pribora za njegovu službu.”
27 For, by the last words of David, the same, were the number of the sons of Levi, —from twenty years old, and upwards.
Po posljednjim Davidovim riječima, bili su izbrojeni Levijevi sinovi od dvadeset godina naviše.
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;
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 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;
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 offer praise unto Yahweh, —and, likewise, at even;
da pristupaju svakoga jutra, da slave i hvale Jahvu; tako i večerom.
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; —
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 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.
I da vrše što treba vršiti u Šatoru sastanka, službu u Svetištu i službu za svoju braću, Aronove sinove, u službi oko Jahvina Doma.
