1 Chronicles 23
1 And David he was old and he was satisfied days and he made king Solomon son his over Israel.
David te fin vye granmoun, li te fin viv kont li, lè li mete Salomon, pitit li a, wa sou pèp Izrayèl la.
2 And he gathered all [the] leaders of Israel and the priests and the Levites.
Li reyini tout chèf pèp Izrayèl yo, tout prèt yo ak tout moun Levi yo.
3 And they were counted the Levites from a son of thirty year[s] and up-wards and it was number their to skulls their to men thirty and eight thousand.
Li fè konte tout moun Levi yo, depi sa ki gen trantan pou pi piti rive sou sa ki pi gran yo. Antou yo jwenn trantwimil (38.000) gason.
4 From these [are] to act as overseers over [the] work of [the] house of Yahweh twenty and four thousand and officials and judges six thousand.
David mete vennkatmil (24.000) pou dirije travay tanp lan, simil (6000) pou ekri tou sa k'ap pase ak pou rann jistis,
5 And four thousand gatekeepers and four thousand [those] praising Yahweh with instruments which I made to praise.
katmil (4000) pou fè pòs nan pòtay la ak katmil (4000) pou fè lwanj Seyè a ak enstriman mizik David te fè fè pou sa.
6 And he divided them David divisions. [the] sons of Levi to Gershon Kohath and Merari.
David separe moun Levi yo fè twa gwoup dapre branch fanmi pitit gason Levi yo: Gèchon, Keyat ak Merari.
7 Of the Gershonite[s] Ladan and Shimei.
Gèchon te gen de pitit gason: Layedan ak Chimèyi.
8 [the] sons of Ladan the chief Jehiel and Zetham and Joel three.
Layedan te fè twa pitit gason: Yekiyèl, pi gran an, Zetam ak Joèl.
9 [the] sons of Shimei (Shelomith *Q(K)*) and Haziel and Haran three these [were] [the] heads of the fathers of Ladan.
Chimeyi te fè twa pitit gason tou: Chelomit, Aziyèl ak Aran. Se yo ki te chèf fanmi moun Layedan yo.
10 And [the] sons of Shimei Jahath Zina and Jeush and Beriah these [were] [the] sons of Shimei four.
Chimeyi te gen kat lòt pitit gason: Jaka, Ziza, Jeouch ak Berya.
11 And he was Jahath the chief and Zizah the second and Jeush and Beriah not they had many sons and they became a house of a father a group one.
Se Jaka ki te pi gran, Ziza te dezyèm pitit la. Jeouch ak Berya pa t' gen anpil pitit. Se konsa yo mete yo ansanm, yo pase pou yon sèl branch fanmi.
12 [the] sons of Kohath Amram Izhar Hebron and Uzziel four.
Keyat te gen kat pitit: Amram, Jizeya, Ebwon ak Ouzyèl.
13 [the] sons of Amram Aaron and Moses and he was separated Aaron to consecrate it a holy one of holy ones he and descendants his until perpetuity to make smoke before Yahweh to serve him and to bless in name his until perpetuity.
Amram te gen de pitit gason: Arawon ak Moyiz. Bondye te mete Arawon ak pitit li yo apa pou yo okipe pyès ki apa nèt pou Bondye a, pou boule lansan devan Seyè a, pou yo sèvi l', pou yo beni pèp la nan non li. Se te travay pa yo sa pou tout tan.
14 And Moses [the] man of God descendants his they were named on [the] tribe of the Levite[s].
Moyiz te moun Bondye a menm. Pitit li yo te fè pati branch fanmi Levi a tou.
15 [the] sons of Moses Gershom and Eliezer.
Moyiz te gen de pitit gason: Gèchòm ak Elyezè.
16 [the] sons of Gershom Shebuel the chief.
Premye pitit Gèchòm lan te rele Chebwèl.
17 And they were [the] sons of Eliezer Rehabiah the chief and not it belonged to Eliezer sons other and [the] sons of Rehabiah they were numerous upwards.
Elyezè li menm te gen Rekabya pou premye pitit. Li pa t' fè lòt pitit gason ankò. Men Rekabya te fè anpil pitit.
18 [the] sons of Izhar Shelomith the chief.
Premye pitit Jizeya a te rele Chelomit.
19 [the] sons of Hebron Jeriah the chief Amariah the second Jahaziel the third and Jekameam the fourth.
Men pitit Ebwon yo: Premye a te rele Jerija, dezyèm lan Amarya, twazyèm lan Jakazyèl, katriyèm lan Jekameam.
20 [the] sons of Uzziel Micah the chief and Isshiah the second.
Men pitit Ouzyèl yo: Miche, premye a ak Jikija, dezyèm lan.
21 [the] sons of Merari Mahli and Mushi [the] sons of Mahli Eleazar and Kish.
Merari te gen de pitit gason: Makli ak Mouchi. Makli te gen de pitit gason: Eleaza ak Kich.
22 And he died Eleazar and not they belonged to him sons that except daughters and they took them [the] sons of Kish relatives their.
Eleaza mouri san kite pitit gason. Pitit fi ase li te genyen. Yo marye ak kouzen yo, pitit gason Kich yo.
23 [the] sons of Mushi Mahli and Eder and Jeremoth three.
Mouchi te gen twa pitit gason: Makli, Edè ak Jerimòt.
24 These [were] [the] descendants of Levi to [the] house of ancestors their [the] chiefs of the fathers to [men] enrolled their by number of names to skulls their doer[s] of the work of [the] service of [the] house of Yahweh from a son of twenty year[s] and up-wards.
Se tout moun nan ras Levi yo sa, dapre fanmi yo, ki te gen non yo kouche nan rejis tankou chèf fanmi. Yo chak te gen travay pa yo nan sèvis kay Seyè a, depi sa ki gen ventan pou pi piti rive sou pi gran yo.
25 For he had said David he has given rest Yahweh [the] God of Israel to people his and he has settled in Jerusalem until for ever.
David te di: -Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, te fè pèp li a viv ak kè poze. Li menm, Seyè a, l'ap toujou rete lavil Jerizalèm.
26 And also to the Levites there not [is] to carry the tabernacle and all articles its for service its.
Konsa, moun Levi yo p'ap nan pote Tant Randevou Seyè a ankò ansanm ak tout bagay yo bezwen pou fè sèvis pou li ankò.
27 For by [the] words of David last they [were] [the] number of [the] descendants of Levi from a son of twenty year[s] and upwards.
Se konsa, dapre dènye pawòl sa yo David te di lè sa a, yo enskri tout moun Levi yo, depi sa ki gen ventan pou pi piti rive sou pi gran yo.
28 For function their [was] to [the] side of [the] descendants of Aaron for [the] service of [the] house of Yahweh over the courts and over the store-rooms and over [the] purification of every holy thing and [the] work of [the] service of [the] house of God.
Travay yo se ede prèt yo, pitit Arawon yo, nan sèvis y'ap fè nan Tanp Seyè a. Se yo ki pou okipe lakou yo ak tout pyès nan Tanp lan. Se yo ki pou veye pou tout bagay rete nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye a. Se yo ki reskonsab tout lòt sèvis nan Tanp lan.
29 And to [the] bread of the row and to fine flour for a grain offering and to [the] wafers of the unleavened bread and to the baked cake and to the mixed [dough] and to every measurement and measurement.
Yo te reskonsab pen yo te ofri bay Bondye yo, farin frans yo sèvi pou fè ofrann yo, pen san ledven yo, ofrann farin melanje ak lwil yo. Se yo ki te reskonsab peze ak mezire ofrann nan Tanp lan.
30 And to stand in the morning in the morning to give thanks and to praise Yahweh and thus to the evening.
Lèfini, se pou yo la nan Tanp lan chak jou, nan maten ak nan aswè, pou di Bondye mèsi, pou fè lwanj pou li.
31 And to every of ering up of burnt offerings to Yahweh for the sabbaths for the new moons and for the appointed feasts by number according to [the] ordinance on them continually before Yahweh.
Se pou yo la tou lè y'ap fè ofrann pou yo boule nèt pou Seyè a jou repo yo, premye jou chak mwa yo, ak pou lòt jou fèt yo. Te gen regleman ki te bay travay moun Levi yo gen pou fè ak kantite moun ki pou fè chak travay. Se te reskonsablite yo pou yo te toujou ap sèvi Seyè a.
32 And they kept [the] duty of [the] tent of meeting and [the] duty of the holy place and [the] duty of [the] descendants of Aaron relatives their for [the] service of [the] house of Yahweh.
Se yo menm tou ki te reskonsab okipe Tant Randevou a, ak kote yo mete apa pou Seyè a, ak prèt yo, fanmi yo ki soti nan branch fanmi Arawon an, lè y'ap sèvi nan Tanp lan.
