1 Chronicles 23
1 David was a very old man [DOU] when he appointed his son Solomon to be the next king.
Kuin David oli vanha ja elämästä kyllänsä saanut, asetti hän poikansa Salomon Israelin kuninkaaksi,
2 David gathered the leaders of Israel and the priests and other descendants of Levi.
Ja kokosi kaikki ylimmäiset Israelissa, ja papit ja Leviläiset,
3 He [commanded some of his officials to] count the descendants of Levi who were at least thirty years old, and they found out that there were 38,000 of them.
Että Leviläiset luettaisiin hamasta kolmestakymmenestä ajastajasta ja sen ylitse. Ja heidän lukunsa oli päästä päähän, väkeviä miehiä, kahdeksanneljättäkymmentä tuhatta,
4 Then David said, “From those 38,000 men, I want 24,000 of them to supervise the work at the temple of Yahweh, and I want 6,000 of them to be officials and judges.
Joista oli neljäkolmattakymmentä tuhatta teettäjää Herran huoneessa, ja kuusituhatta virkamiestä ja tuomaria;
5 I want 4,000 to be guards at the gates, and 4,000 to praise Yahweh, using the musical instruments that I have provided for them.”
Ja neljätuhatta ovenvartiaa ja neljätuhatta niitä, jotka Herralle kiitosta veisasivat kanteleilla, jotka minä pannut olen kiitosta veisaamaan.
6 David divided the descendants of Levi into three family groups; each group consisted of men who were descendants of one of the three sons of Levi—Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
Ja David teki järjestyksen Levin lapsille, Gersonille, Kahatille ja Merarille.
7 From the descendants of Gershon there were Ladan and Shimei.
Gersonilaisia olivat Laedan ja Simei.
8 There were three sons of Ladan: Jehiel was the oldest, and his [younger] brothers Zetham and Joel.
Laedanin lapset: ensimäinen Jehieli, Setam ja Joel, kolme;
9 There were three of the sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran. They were all leaders of the clans of Ladan.
Simein lapset: Salomit, Hasiel ja Haran, kolme. Nämät olivat Laedanin isäin ylimmäiset.
10 There were four men who were other sons of Shimei:
Olivat myös nämät Simein lapset: Jahat, Sina, Jeus ja Beria. Nämät neljä olivat Simein lapset.
11 Jahath, who was his oldest son, and his [younger] brothers Ziza, Jeush, and Beriah. Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, so they were counted as though they were one family.
Jahat oli ensimäinen, Sina toinen. Mutta Jeuksella ja Berialla ei ollut monta lasta, sentähden luettiin ne yhdeksi isän huoneeksi.
12 Kohath had four sons: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.
Kahatin lapset: Amram, Jitshar, Hebron ja Ussiel, neljä.
13 There were two sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses. Aaron and his descendants were set apart to dedicate the very holy things, to offer sacrifices to Yahweh, to serve in his presence, and to declare [to the people] what Yahweh [MTY] would do to bless them. They were to do those things forever.
Amramin lapset: Aaron ja Moses. Mutta Aaron eroitettiin, koska oli pyhitetty kaikkein pyhimmälle, hän ja hänen poikansa ijankaikkisesti, kantamaan suitsutusta Herran edessä, ja palvelemaan häntä, ja siunaamaan hänen nimeensä ijankaikkisesti.
14 The sons of Moses, the man who served God [well], were counted as part of the tribe of Levi.
Ja Moseksen Jumalan miehen lapset luettiin Leviläisten sukukuntain sekaan.
15 The sons of Moses were Gershom and Eliezer.
Moseksen lapset olivat: Gersom ja Elieser.
16 The oldest son of Gershom was Shubael.
Gersomin lapset: ensimäinen oli Sebuel.
17 Rehabiah was the oldest son of Eliezer. Eliezer had no other sons, but Rehabiah had many sons.
Elieserin lapset: ensimäinen oli Rehabia. Ja Elieserillä ei ollut muita lapsia, vaan Rehabeamin lapsia oli paljon enempi.
18 The oldest son of Izhar was Shelomith.
Jitsharin lapset: Selomit ensimäinen.
19 Hebron had four sons. Jeriah was his oldest son, and his [younger] brothers were Amariah, Jahaziel, and Jekameam.
Hebronin lapset: Jeria ensimäinen, Amaria toinen, Jahasiel kolmas ja Jakneam neljäs.
20 Uzziel had two sons. Micah was the oldest son, and his [younger] brother was Isshiah.
Ussielin lapset: Miika ensimäinen ja Jissia toinen.
21 Merari had two sons: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli were Eleazar and Kish.
Merarin lapset: Maheli ja Musi. Mahelin lapset: Eleasar ja Kis.
22 Eleazar had no sons; he had only daughters. Their cousins, the sons of Kish, married them.
Mutta Eleasar kuoli, ja ei ollut hänellä poikia, vaan tyttäriä, jotka heidän veljensä Kisin pojat naivat.
23 The three sons of Mushi were Mahli, Eder, and Jerimoth.
Musin lapset: Maheli, Eder ja Jeremot, kolme.
24 Those were the descendants of Levi, whose names were listed according to their families/clans. They were chosen for special jobs by (casting lots/throwing small marked stones). Each person who was at least 20 years old was listed. They all worked in the temple of Yahweh.
Nämät ovat Levin lapset heidän isäinsä huoneen jälkeen, isäin päämiehet, jotka nimien luvun jälkeen päästä päähän luetut olivat, jotka tekivät viran töitä Herran huoneen palveluksessa, kahdenkymmenen ajastaikaisista ja sen ylitse.
25 David had said previously, “Yahweh, the God to whom we Israeli people belong, has enabled us to have peace, and he [has come to] live in Jerusalem forever.
Sillä David sanoi: Herra Israelin Jumala, joka on asuva Jerusalemissa ijankaikkisesti, on antanut kansallensa levon.
26 Therefore, the descendants of Levi no longer need to carry the Sacred Tent and the items used in the work there.”
Ja ei Leviläiset tarvinneet kantaa majaa kaikkein hänen kaluinsa kanssa palvelukseen.
27 Obeying the final instructions of David [before he died, instructions for doing this work at the temple], they counted only the descendants of Levi who were at least 20 years old.
Ja Levin lapset luettiin Davidin viimeisten sanain jälkeen Leviläisten sekaan, kahdenkymmenen vuotisista ja sen ylitse,
28 The work of those descendants of Levi was to assist the descendants of Aaron in their work in the temple of Yahweh: To be in charge of the temple courtyards and the side rooms, the ceremonies for purifying all the sacred things, and to do other work at the temple.
Että heidän piti seisoman Aaronin lasten sivussa palvelemassa Herran huoneessa, kartanoilla ja kammioissa, ja kaikkinaisissa pyhitetyn puhdistuksissa, ja kaikissa viran töissä Herran huoneessa;
29 They were also in charge of the sacred loaves of bread that were placed [each week] on the table [in the temple], the flour for the grain offerings, the wafers that were made without yeast, and the measuring the ingredients and mixing them and baking that bread and those wafers.
Ja oleman näkyleipäin, sämpyläjauhoin, ruokauhrein, happamattomain kyrsäin, pannuin, halstarien ja kaikkein vaakain ja mittain päällä;
30 They were also told to stand every morning [at the temple] and thank Yahweh and praise him. They were also required to do the same thing every evening.
Ja seisoman joka aamulla, kiittämässä ja ylistämässä Herraa, niin myös ehtoolla,
31 And they were to do the same thing whenever offerings that were to be completely burned [on the altar] were presented/offered to Yahweh on Sabbath days and during the new moon celebrations and other religious festivals. They were told how many of them should be there and what they should do each time.
Ja uhraamassa Herralle kaikkinaiset polttouhrit sabbateina, uudelle kuulla ja juhlapäivinä, luvun ja tavan jälkeen, alati Herran edessä,
32 So the descendants of Levi did the work that was assigned to them by their fellow Israelis who were descendants of Aaron. They did that work in the area surrounding the Sacred Tent, and in the Sacred Tent, and [later] at the temple.
Ja ottamassa vaarin seurakunnan majasta ja pyhyyden vartiosta, ja Aaronin lasten heidän veljeinsä vartiosta, Herran huoneen palveluksessa.
