1 Chronicles 23
1 David was a very old man [DOU] when he appointed his son Solomon to be the next king.
Idi lakayen ni David ket umadanin ti ipapatayna, pinagbalinna nga ari iti entero nga Israel ti putotna a ni Solomon.
2 David gathered the leaders of Israel and the priests and other descendants of Levi.
Inummongna dagiti amin a mangidadaulo iti Israel, agraman dagiti papadi ken dagiti Levita.
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.
Dagiti Levita nga agtawen iti tallopulo nga agpangato ket nabilang. Tallopulo ket walo a ribu ti bilangda.
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.
Duapulo ket uppat a ribu kadagitoy ti mangimaton iti trabaho iti balay ni Yahweh ken innem a ribu dagiti opisial ken uk-ukom.
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.”
Uppat a ribu dagiti agbantay iti ruangan; ken uppat a ribu dagiti agdayaw kenni Yahweh babaen kadagiti instrumento “nga inaramidko para iti panagdayaw,” kinuna ni David.
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.
Biningay ida ni David iti bunggoy segun kadagiti putot ni Levi: da Gerson, Coat ken Merari.
7 From the descendants of Gershon there were Ladan and Shimei.
Manipud kadagiti puli a nagtaud kenni Gerson ket adda da Ladan ken Simei.
8 There were three sons of Ladan: Jehiel was the oldest, and his [younger] brothers Zetham and Joel.
Adda tallo a putot ni Ladan: ni Jeiel a mangidadaulo, da Zetam ken Joel.
9 There were three of the sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran. They were all leaders of the clans of Ladan.
Adda tallo a putot ni Simei: da Selomot, Haziel ken Haran. Dagitoy dagiti mangidadaulo kadagiti puli ni Ladan.
10 There were four men who were other sons of Shimei:
Adda uppat a putot ni Simei: da Jahat, Zina, Jeus ken Berias.
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.
Ni Jahat ti inauna, ni Zina ti maikadua ngem saan a naaddaan iti adu a putot da Jeus ken Berias, isu a naibilangda a kas maysa a puli nga addaan iti isu met laeng a pagrebbengan.
12 Kohath had four sons: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.
Adda uppat a putot ni Coat: da Amram, Isar, Hebron ken Uzziel.
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.
Dagitoy dagiti putot ni Amram: da Aaron ken Moises. Ni Aaron ken dagiti kaputotanna ket napili nga agnanayon a mangidaton kadagiti banbanag a naan-anay a kukua laeng ni Yahweh, a mangidaton iti insenso kenni Yahweh, nga agserbi kenkuana, ken mangbendision babaen iti naganna iti agnanayon.
14 The sons of Moses, the man who served God [well], were counted as part of the tribe of Levi.
Ngem maipapan kenni Moises a tao ti Dios, naibilang dagiti putotna a kas Levita.
15 The sons of Moses were Gershom and Eliezer.
Dagiti putot ni Moises ket da Gersom ken Elieser.
16 The oldest son of Gershom was Shubael.
Ni Sebuel ti inauna kadagiti kaputotan ni Gersom.
17 Rehabiah was the oldest son of Eliezer. Eliezer had no other sons, but Rehabiah had many sons.
Ti kaputotan ni Elieser ket ni Rehabia. Awanen ti dadduma pay a putot a lalaki ni Elieser, ngem adu ti kaputotan ni Rehabia.
18 The oldest son of Izhar was Shelomith.
Ti putot ni Isar ket ni Selomit a mangidadaulo.
19 Hebron had four sons. Jeriah was his oldest son, and his [younger] brothers were Amariah, Jahaziel, and Jekameam.
Dagiti kaputotan ni Hebron ket ni Jerias nga inauna, ni Amarias a maikadua, ni Jahaziel a maikatlo ken ni Jekameam a maikauppat.
20 Uzziel had two sons. Micah was the oldest son, and his [younger] brother was Isshiah.
Dagiti putot ni Uzziel ket ni Mica nga inauna ken ni Issias a maikadua.
21 Merari had two sons: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli were Eleazar and Kish.
Dagiti putot a lallaki ni Merari ket da Mali ken Musi. Dagiti putot ni Mali ket da Eleazar ken Kis.
22 Eleazar had no sons; he had only daughters. Their cousins, the sons of Kish, married them.
Natay ni Eleazar nga awan iti putotna a lalaki. Addaan laeng isuna kadagiti putot a babbai. Inasawa ida dagiti putot ni Kis.
23 The three sons of Mushi were Mahli, Eder, and Jerimoth.
Dagiti tallo a putot ni Musi ket da Mali, Eder ken Jeremot.
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.
Dagitoy dagiti kaputotan ni Levi segun kadagiti pulida. Isuda dagiti mangidadaulo, nabilang ken nailista ti naganda, kadagiti puli a nagtrabaho iti panagserbi iti balay ni Yahweh, manipud iti agtawen iti duapulo nga agpangato.
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.
Ta kinuna ni David, “Inikkan ni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel iti inana kadagiti tattaona. Nangaramid isuna iti pagtaenganna iti Jerusalem iti agnanayon.
26 Therefore, the descendants of Levi no longer need to carry the Sacred Tent and the items used in the work there.”
Saanen a kasapulan nga awiten dagiti Levita ti tabernakulo ken dagiti amin nga alikamen a mausar iti daytoy.
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.
Ta babaen iti maudi a sasao ni David, nabilang dagiti Levita manipud iti agtawen iti duapulo nga agpangato.
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.
Ti pagrebbenganda ket mangtulong kadagiti kaputotan ni Aaron iti panagserbi iti balay ni Yahweh. Isuda ti mangaywan kadagiti paraangan, kadagiti siled, ti seremonia a panangdalus kadagiti amin a banbanag a kukua ni Yahweh ken dagiti dadduma a trabaho iti panagserbi iti balay ni Yahweh.
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.
Isuda pay ti makaammo iti maidaton a tinapay, ti kasasayaatan nga arina para kadagiti bukbukel a maidaton, dagiti awan lebadurana a tinapay, dagiti naluto a daton, dagiti daton a nalaokan iti lana, ken dagiti amin a rukod ti kaadu ken kadakkel dagiti banbanag.
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.
Agtakderda pay a binigat tapno agyaman ken agdayaw kenni Yahweh. Aramidenda met daytoy iti rabii
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.
ken iti tunggal panagidatagda kadagiti daton a mapuoran iti Aldaw a Panaginana ken kadagiti tiempo iti panagrambak iti baro a bulan ken kadagiti al-aldaw ti fiesta. Ti umno a bilang a naikeddeng babaen iti paglintegan ket rumbeng nga addada a kanayon iti sangoanan ni Yahweh.
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.
Isuda ti akin-rebbeng iti tabernakulo, ti nasantoan a disso, ken tulonganda dagiti kapadada a kaputotan ni Aaron iti panagserbi iti balay ni Yahweh.
