1 Chronicles 26
1 This is a list of the groups of men who guarded the temple gates: From the descendants of Korah, there was Meshelemiah, the son of Kore, who was one of the sons of Asaph.
Voici les classes des portiers: Des Coréïtes: Mésélémia, fils de Coré, d’entre les fils d’Asaph. —
2 The oldest son of Meshelemiah was Zechariah. His other sons were Jediael, Zebadiah, Jathniel,
Fils de Mésélémia: Zacharias, le premier-né; Jadihel le deuxième, Zabadias le troisième, Jathanaël le quatrième,
3 Elam, Jehohanan, and Eliehoenai.
Elam le cinquième, Johanan le sixième, Elioénaï le septième. —
4 [Another guard] was Obed-Edom. His oldest son was Shemaiah. His other sons were Jehozabad, Joah, Sacar, Nethanel,
Fils d’Obédédom: Séméïas, le premier-né; Jozabad le deuxième, Joaha le troisième, Sachar le quatrième, Nathanaël le cinquième,
5 Ammiel, Issachar, and Peullethai. It was because God had blessed him that he had many sons.
Ammiel le sixième, Issachar le septième, Phollathi le huitième; car Dieu avait béni Obédédom. —
6 Obed-Edom’s son Shemaiah also had sons. They were leaders in their father’s family because they were capable of doing many things well.
A Séméïas, son fils, naquirent des fils qui furent chefs dans la maison de leur père, car ils étaient de vaillants hommes.
7 The sons of Shemaiah were Othni, Rephael, Obed, and Elzabad. Shemaiah’s relatives Elihu and Semakiah were also capable men.
Fils de Séméïas: Othni, Raphaël, Obed, Elzabad et ses frères, hommes vaillants, Eliu et Samachias.
8 All of those descendants of Obed-Edom and their sons and relatives were capable people and strong workers. Altogether there were 62 of them.
Tous ceux-là étaient des fils d’Obédédom; eux, leurs fils et leurs frères, hommes braves et forts pour le service, étaient au nombre de soixante-deux, issus d’Obédédom.
9 Another guard was Meshelemiah. He and his sons and relatives were also capable people. There were 18 of them altogether.
Mésélémia avait des fils et des frères, hommes vaillants, au nombre de dix-huit.
10 Another guard was Hosah’s son Shimri, a descendant of Merari. Hosah appointed Shimri to be the leader, even though he was not Hosah’s oldest son.
Hosa, des fils de Mérari, avait pour fils: Semri, le chef: il n’était pas le premier-né, mais son père l’avait établi chef;
11 Hosah’s other sons were Hilkiah, Tabaliah, and Zechariah. Altogether there were 13 sons and relatives of Hosah.
Helcias le second, Tabélias le troisième, Zacharias le quatrième. Tous les fils et les frères de Hosa étaient au nombre de treize.
12 Those men were leaders of the groups of men who guarded the gates of the temple. They worked at the temple like their relatives did.
Ces classes de portiers, les chefs de ces hommes, avaient, à côté de leurs frères, des fonctions pour le service de la maison de Yahweh.
13 By casting lots, the leader of each family chose one gate for their group to guard. [All of them, including] young men and old men (OR, including leaders of large families and small families), cast lots.
Ils tirèrent les sorts pour chaque porte, petits et grands, selon leurs familles.
14 Shelemiah’s group was selected to guard the East Gate. The group of Shelemiah’s son Zechariah, who was a wise counselor, was selected to guard the North Gate.
Le sort pour le côté de l’orient échut à Sélémias. On tira au sort pour Zacharias, son fils, qui était un sage conseiller, et le côté du septentrion lui échut.
15 Then Obed-Edom’s group was selected to guard the South Gate, and his sons were selected to guard the [entrances to the temple] storerooms.
Le côté du midi échut à Obédédom, et la maison des magasins à ses fils.
16 Then Shuppim’s group and Hosah’s group were selected to guard the West Gate and the Shalleketh Gate on the upper road [to the temple]. The work for the guards was divided evenly.
A Séphim et à Hosa échut le côté de l’occident, près de la porte Schalléketh, sur le chemin montant: une garde était en face de l’autre.
17 Each day there were six descendants of Levi who guarded the East Gate, four who guarded the North Gate, four who guarded the South Gate, and two at a time who guarded the entrances to the storerooms.
Il y avait à l’orient six lévites, au septentrion quatre par jour, au midi quatre par jour, et quatre aux magasins, deux à deux;
18 At the West gate there were two men who guarded the courtyard and four who guarded the road outside the courtyard.
du côté des dépendances, à l’occident, quatre vers le chemin, deux aux dépendances. —
19 Those were the groups of men who were descendants of Korah and Merari who guarded the gates [of the temple].
Telles sont les classes des portiers, d’entre les fils des Coréïtes et les fils de Mérari.
20 Other descendants of Levi were in charge of the chests that contained the money that was dedicated to Yahweh, money that the people brought to the temple.
Les lévites, leurs frères, avaient l’intendance des trésors de la maison de Dieu et des trésors des choses consacrées.
21 [One of those men was] Ladan, a descendant of Gershon. He was the ancestor of several family groups. Jehiel was the leader of one of those family groups.
Parmi les fils de Lédan, savoir les fils des Gersonites issus de Lédan, chefs des familles de Lédan le Gersonite, c’était Jéhiel;
22 Others who had that work were Zetham and his [younger] brother Joel, who were the sons of Jehiel.
les fils de Jéhiel, Zathan et Joël, son frère, avaient l’intendance des trésors de la maison de Yahweh.
23 Others who did that work were descendants of Amram, Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel.
Parmi les Amramites, les Isaarites, les Hébronites et les Ozihélites,
24 [From the descendants of Amram], Shubael, a descendant of Moses’s son Gershom, was the leader who was in charge of the money chests.
c’était Subuël, fils de Gersom, fils de Moïse, qui était l’intendant en chef des trésors.
25 [Others who did that work were] the descendants of [Gershom’s younger brother] Eliezer. Those men were Eliezer’s son Rehabiah, Rehabiah’s son Jeshaiah, Jeshaiah’s son Joram, Joram’s son Zicri, and Zicri’s son Shelomith.
Parmi ses frères issus d’Eliézer, dont le fils fut Rahabia, dont le fils fut Isaïas, dont le fils fut Joram, dont le fils fut Zéchri, dont le fils fut Sélémith,
26 Shelomith and his relatives were in charge of all the valuable things that had been dedicated [to Yahweh] by King David, by the leaders of the family groups, by the army commanders of 1,000 soldiers and commanders of 100 soldiers, and by other army commanders.
c’étaient Sélémith et ses frères qui avaient l’intendance de tous les trésors des choses saintes qu’avaient consacrées le roi David, les chefs de famille, avec les chefs de milliers et de centaines et les chefs de l’armée:
27 Some of the things that those army officers had taken [from Israel’s enemies] in battles they dedicated for the repair of the temple of Yahweh.
ils les avaient consacrées sur le butin pris à la guerre, pour l’entretien de la maison de Yahweh.
28 And Shelomith and his relatives were also in charge of everything that had been dedicated [to Yahweh] by the prophet Samuel, by King Saul, and by [David’s two army commanders] Ner and Joab.
Tout ce qu’avaient consacré Samuel, le voyant, Saül, fils de Cis, Abner, fils de Ner, Joab, fils de Sarvia, ou tout autre, était sous la main de Sélémith et de ses frères.
29 From the descendants of Izhar, Kenaniah and his sons were given work outside [the temple area]. They were officials and judges in [various places] in Israel.
Parmi les Isaarites, Chonénias et ses fils étaient employés pour les affaires extérieures en Israël, comme scribes et comme magistrats.
30 From the descendants of Hebron, Hashabiah and his relatives were responsible for the work done for Yahweh and for the king in all the area west of the Jordan [river]. There were 1,700 of them who were able to do their work well.
Parmi les Hébronites, Hasabias et ses frères, hommes vaillants, au nombre de mille sept cents, avaient la surveillance d’Israël de l’autre côté du Jourdain, à l’occident, pour toutes les affaires de Yahweh et le service du roi.
31 It was written in the records of the descendants of Hebron that Jeriah was their leader. When David had been ruling for almost 40 years, they searched in those records, and they found [names of] capable men descended from Hebron who were at Jazer [city] in the Gilead [region].
Pour les Hébronites, Jéria était le chef, — Pour les Hébronites, selon leurs généalogies, par familles, on fit des recherches, la quarantième année du règne de David, et l’on trouva parmi eux de vaillants hommes à Jazer en Galaad, —
32 Jeriah had 2,700 relatives who were able to do their work well, and who were leaders of their families. King David put them in charge of governing the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and [the eastern] half of the tribe of Manasseh, to be sure that all the people did what God and the king told them to do.
et ses frères, hommes vaillants, étaient au nombre de deux mille sept cents chefs de famille. Le roi David les établit sur les Rubénites, sur les Gadites et sur la demi-tribu de Manassé pour toutes les affaires de Dieu et les affaires du roi.
