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.
Les classes des portiers. Des Corites: Meshélémia, fils de Koré, des fils d’Asaph.
2 The oldest son of Meshelemiah was Zechariah. His other sons were Jediael, Zebadiah, Jathniel,
Et Meshélémia avait des fils: Zacharie, le premier-né; Jediaël, le second; Zebadia, le troisième; Jathniel, le quatrième;
3 Elam, Jehohanan, and Eliehoenai.
Élam, le cinquième; Jokhanan, le sixième; Élioénaï, le septième.
4 [Another guard] was Obed-Edom. His oldest son was Shemaiah. His other sons were Jehozabad, Joah, Sacar, Nethanel,
– Et les fils d’Obed-Édom: Shemahia, le premier-né; Jozabad, le second; Joakh, le troisième; et Sacar, le quatrième; et Nethaneël, le cinquième;
5 Ammiel, Issachar, and Peullethai. It was because God had blessed him that he had many sons.
Ammiel, le sixième; Issacar, le septième; Peülthaï, le huitième, car Dieu l’avait béni.
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.
– Et à Shemahia, son fils, naquirent des fils qui gouvernèrent dans la maison de leur père, car ils étaient hommes forts et vaillants.
7 The sons of Shemaiah were Othni, Rephael, Obed, and Elzabad. Shemaiah’s relatives Elihu and Semakiah were also capable men.
Les fils de Shemahia: Othni, et Rephaël, et Obed, Elzabad, [et] ses frères, hommes vaillants, Élihu et Semakia.
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’Obed-Édom; eux, et leurs fils, et leurs frères, hommes vaillants et forts pour le service, 62, d’Obed-Édom.
9 Another guard was Meshelemiah. He and his sons and relatives were also capable people. There were 18 of them altogether.
– Et Meshélémia avait des fils et des frères, hommes vaillants, 18.
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.
– Et Hosa, d’entre les fils de Merari, avait des fils: Shimri, le chef; bien qu’il ne soit pas le premier-né, son père l’établit pour chef;
11 Hosah’s other sons were Hilkiah, Tabaliah, and Zechariah. Altogether there were 13 sons and relatives of Hosah.
Hilkija, le second; Tebalia, le troisième; Zacharie, le quatrième: tous les fils et les frères de Hosa étaient 13.
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.
À ceux-là furent les départements des portiers, aux chefs des hommes [qui vaquaient] à leurs charges avec leurs frères, pour faire le service dans la maison de l’Éternel.
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.
Et ils jetèrent les sorts, le petit comme le grand, selon leurs maisons de pères, pour chaque porte.
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.
Et le sort qui échut à Shélémia fut le levant; et on jeta le sort pour Zacharie, son fils, sage conseiller, et le sort qui lui échut fut le nord;
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.
à Obed-Édom [échut] le midi; et à ses fils, la maison des approvisionnements;
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.
à Shuppim et à Hosa, le couchant, avec la porte de Shalléketh, au chemin qui monte, une garde vis-à-vis 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.
Au levant, il y avait six Lévites; au nord, quatre par jour; au midi, quatre par jour; et aux approvisionnements, deux [et] deux;
18 At the West gate there were two men who guarded the courtyard and four who guarded the road outside the courtyard.
à Parbar, vers le couchant, quatre au chemin, deux à Parbar.
19 Those were the groups of men who were descendants of Korah and Merari who guarded the gates [of the temple].
– Ce sont là les départements des portiers, d’entre les fils des Corites et d’entre les fils de Merari.
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.
Et les Lévites: Akhija était [préposé] sur les trésors de la maison de Dieu et sur les trésors des choses saintes.
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.
Les fils de Lahdan, les fils des Guershonites de Lahdan, les chefs des pères de Lahdan, le Guershonite: Jekhiéli;
22 Others who had that work were Zetham and his [younger] brother Joel, who were the sons of Jehiel.
les fils de Jekhiéli: Zétham et Joël, son frère, [préposés] sur les trésors de la maison de l’Éternel.
23 Others who did that work were descendants of Amram, Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel.
Des Amramites, des Jitseharites, des Hébronites, des Uziélites…
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.
Et Shebuel, fils de Guershom, fils de Moïse, était surintendant 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.
Et ses frères, d’Éliézer: Rekhabia, son fils, et Ésaïe, son fils, et Joram, son fils, et Zicri, son fils, et Shelomith, son fils.
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.
Ce Shelomith et ses frères furent [préposés] sur tous les trésors des choses saintes que le roi David, et les chefs des pères, les chefs de milliers et de centaines, et les chefs de l’armée, avaient consacrées,
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.
qu’ils avaient consacrées, des guerres et du butin, pour l’entretien de la maison de l’Éternel;
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.
et tout ce qu’avaient consacré Samuel, le voyant, et Saül, fils de Kis, et Abner, fils de Ner, et Joab, fils de Tseruïa: tout ce qui était consacré était [mis] sous la main de Shelomith 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.
D’entre les Jitseharites, Kenania et ses fils étaient [établis] sur Israël pour les affaires extérieures, comme intendants et juges.
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.
D’entre les Hébronites, Hashabia et ses frères, hommes vaillants, [au nombre de] 1 700, pour l’administration d’Israël, en deçà du Jourdain, vers le couchant, pour toutes les affaires de l’Éternel et pour 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].
D’entre les Hébronites, Jerija fut le chef; (on rechercha les Hébronites, selon leurs générations, selon les pères, en la quarantième année du règne de David, et on trouva parmi eux, à Jahzer de Galaad, des hommes forts et vaillants; )
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 2 700, des chefs des pères; et le roi David les établit sur les Rubénites et sur les Gadites et sur la demi-tribu des Manassites, pour toutes les affaires de Dieu et pour les affaires du roi.
