1 Chronicles 23
1 David was a very old man [DOU] when he appointed his son Solomon to be the next king.
И Давид стар и исполнен дний, и воцари Соломона сына своего вместо себе над Израилем:
2 David gathered the leaders of Israel and the priests and other descendants of Levi.
и собра всех князей Израилевых, и священников, и левитов:
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.
сочтени же быша левити, от тридесяти лет и вышше, и бысть число их по главам их, мужей тридесять и осмь тысящ:
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.
от сих избрани на дела дому Господня двадесять четыри тысящы, и книгочей и судий шесть тысящ,
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.”
и четыри тысящы дверников, и четыри тысящы поющих Господеви во органы, ихже сотвори ко хвалению Господню.
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.
И раздели их Давид на чреды сыном Левииным, Гирсону, Каафу и Мераре:
7 From the descendants of Gershon there were Ladan and Shimei.
и Гирсону и Леадану и Семею.
8 There were three sons of Ladan: Jehiel was the oldest, and his [younger] brothers Zetham and Joel.
Сынове Леадани: началник Иеиил и Зефоф и Иоиль, трие.
9 There were three of the sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran. They were all leaders of the clans of Ladan.
Сынове же Семеовы: Саломиф и Азаил и Арам, трие: сии началницы отечеств Леаданих.
10 There were four men who were other sons of Shimei:
И сыном Семеовым Иеф и Зизай, и Иоас и Вериа: тии сынове Семеовы четыре.
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.
Бе же Иеф первый и Зизай вторый: Иоас же и Вариа не иместа многих сынов и быста в дому отечества в причтение едино.
12 Kohath had four sons: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.
Сынове Каафовы: Амврам и Иссаар, Хеврон, Озиил, четыри.
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.
Сынове Амврамли: Аарон и Моисей: отлучен же бысть Аарон еже освящати Святая Святых, той и сынове его во веки, и да кадит фимиамом пред Господем, служит Ему и молится во имя Его до века.
14 The sons of Moses, the man who served God [well], were counted as part of the tribe of Levi.
Моисей же человек Божий и сынове его причтени суть в колено Левиино.
15 The sons of Moses were Gershom and Eliezer.
Сынове Моисеовы: Гирсам и Елиезер.
16 The oldest son of Gershom was Shubael.
Сынове Гирсамли, Суваил началник.
17 Rehabiah was the oldest son of Eliezer. Eliezer had no other sons, but Rehabiah had many sons.
Быша же сынове Елиезеру, Равиа началник: и не беша Елиезеру сынове инии: сынове же Равиини умножени суть зело.
18 The oldest son of Izhar was Shelomith.
Сынове Иссааровы, Саллумоф началник.
19 Hebron had four sons. Jeriah was his oldest son, and his [younger] brothers were Amariah, Jahaziel, and Jekameam.
Сынове Хеврони: Иериав первый, Амариа вторый, Иазиил третий Иезекиа четвертый.
20 Uzziel had two sons. Micah was the oldest son, and his [younger] brother was Isshiah.
Сынове же Озиили: Миха первый, и Иессиа вторый.
21 Merari had two sons: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli were Eleazar and Kish.
Сынове Мерарины: Мооли и Муси.
22 Eleazar had no sons; he had only daughters. Their cousins, the sons of Kish, married them.
Сынове моолиевы: Елеазар и Кис. Умре же Елеазар, и не быша ему сынове, но токмо дщери: и пояша их сынове Кисовы братия их.
23 The three sons of Mushi were Mahli, Eder, and Jerimoth.
Сынове Мусиины: Мооли и Едер и Иаримоф, трие.
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.
Сии сынове Левиини по домом отечеств их, началницы отечеств их, по согляданию их, по числу имен их, по главам их, иже творяху дела служения дому Господня, от двадесяти лет и вышше.
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.
Рече бо Давид: покой даде Господь Бог людем Своим Израилю, и вселися во Иерусалиме даже да века,
26 Therefore, the descendants of Levi no longer need to carry the Sacred Tent and the items used in the work there.”
и левити не быша носяще скинию и вся сосуды ея к служению ея.
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.
По повелению бо Давидову последнему есть число сыновом Левииным от двадесяти лет и вышше:
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.
зане постави их под руку сыном Аароним, еже служити в дому Господни во дворех и в притворех, и во очищении всех святынь, и в делех служения дому Божия,
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.
и над хлебами предложения, и над мукою пшеничною жертвы, и над пряжмами опресночными, и над сковрадою, и над печеным, и над всяким весом и мерою,
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.
и еже стояти, утро хвалити и исповедатися Господеви, такожде и к вечеру,
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.
и над всеми возносимыми всесожжении Господеви в субботы, и в новомесячиих, и в праздницех, по числу, по чину их выну Господеви,
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.
и да сохранят стражбы скинии свидения, и стражу святилища, и стражбы сынов Аароних братий своих, да служат в дому Господни.
