1 Chronicles 23
1 Now, David, was old, and satisfied with days, —so he made Solomon his son king, over Israel;
Igitur David senex et plenus dierum, regem constituit Salomonem filium suum super Israel.
2 and gathered together all the rulers of Israel, with the priests, and the Levites.
Et congregavit omnes principes Israel, et Sacerdotes atque Levitas.
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.
Numeratique sunt Levitae a viginti annis, et supra: et inventa sunt triginta octo millia virorum.
4 Of these—to preside over the work of the house of Yahweh, were twenty-four thousand, —and officers and judges, six thousand;
Ex his electi sunt, et distributi in ministerium domus Domini viginti quattuor millia: praepositorum autem et iudicum sex millia.
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.
Porro quattuor millia ianitores: et totidem psaltes canentes Domino in organis, quae fecerat ad canendum.
6 And David divided them into courses, —pertaining to the sons of Levi, to Gershon, Kohath and Merari.
Et distribuit eos David per vices filiorum Levi, Gerson videlicet, et Caath, et Merari.
7 Of the Gershonites, Ladan and Shimei.
Filii Gerson: Leedan, et Semei.
8 The sons of Ladan, the chief Jehiel, and Zetham and Joel, three.
Filii Leedan: princeps Iahiel, et Zethan, et Ioel, tres.
9 The sons of Shimei, Shelomoth and Haziel and Haran, three, —these, were the ancestral chiefs of Ladan.
Filii Semei: Salomith, et Hosiel, et Aran, tres: isti principes familiarum Leedan.
10 And, the sons of Shimei, Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah, —these, were the sons of Shimei, four.
Porro filii Semei, Leheth, et Ziza, et Iaus, et Baria: isti filii Semei, quattuor.
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.
Erat autem Leheth prior, Ziza secundus: porro Iaus et Baria non habuerunt plurimos filios, et idcirco in una familia, unaque domo computati sunt.
12 The sons of Kohath, Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.
Filii Caath: Amram, et Isaar, Hebron, et Oziel, quattuor.
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;
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 and, as for Moses, the man of God, his sons, were called unto the tribe of Levi.
Moysi quoque hominis Dei filii annumerati sunt in tribu Levi.
15 The sons of Moses, were Gershom, and Eliezer.
Filii Moysi: Gersom, et Eliezer.
16 the sons of Gershom, were Shebuel the chief;
Filii Gersom: Subuel primus.
17 and the sons of Eliezer were Rehabiah the chief, —and Eliezer had no other sons, but, the sons of Rehabiah, were very many.
Fuerunt autem filii Eliezer: Rohobia primus: et non erant Eliezer filii alii. Porro filii Rohobia multiplicati sunt nimis.
18 The sons of Izhar, Shelomith the chief.
Filii Isaar: Salomith primus.
19 The sons of Hebron, Jeriah the chief, Amariah the second, Jehaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
Filii Hebron: Ieriau primus, Amarias secundus, Iahaziel tertius, Iecmaam quartus.
20 The sons of Uzziel, Micah the chief, and Isshiah the second.
Filii Oziel: Micha primus, Iesia secundus.
21 The sons of Merari, were Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli, were Eleazar and Kish.
Filii Merari: Moholi, et Musi. Filii Moholi: Eleazar, et Cis.
22 But Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters only, —and so the sons of Kish their brethren took them.
Mortuus est autem Eleazar, et non habuit filios, sed filias: acceperuntque eas filii Cis fratres earum.
23 The sons of Mushi, were Mahli and Eder and Jeremoth, three.
Filii Musi: Moholi, et Eder, et Ierimoth, tres.
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.
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, 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;
Dixit enim David: Requiem dedit Dominus Deus Israel populo suo, et habitationem Ierusalem usque in aeternum.
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.
Nec erit officii Levitarum ut ultra portent tabernaculum, et omnia vasa eius ad ministrandum.
27 For, by the last words of David, the same, were the number of the sons of Levi, —from twenty years old, and upwards.
Iuxta praecepta quoque David novissima supputabitur numerus filiorum Levi a viginti annis et supra.
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;
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 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;
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 offer praise unto Yahweh, —and, likewise, at even;
Levitae vero ut stent mane ad confitendum, et canendum Domino: similiterque ad vesperam
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; —
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 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.
Et custodiant observationes tabernaculi foederis, et ritum sanctuarii, et observationem filiorum Aaron fratrum suorum, ut ministrent in domo Domini.
