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.
En ce qui concerne les subdivisions des portiers, les Korahites étaient représentés par Mechélémiahou, fils de Korê, des enfants d’Assaph.
2 The oldest son of Meshelemiah was Zechariah. His other sons were Jediael, Zebadiah, Jathniel,
Mechélémiahou avait pour fils Zekhariahou, l’aîné, Yediaël, le second, Zebadiahou, le troisième, Yatniël, le quatrième,
3 Elam, Jehohanan, and Eliehoenai.
Elam, le cinquième, Johanan, le sixième, Elyehoênaï, le septième.
4 [Another guard] was Obed-Edom. His oldest son was Shemaiah. His other sons were Jehozabad, Joah, Sacar, Nethanel,
Obed-Edom avait pour fils Chemaeya, rainé, Yozabad, le second, Yoah, le troisième, Sakhar, le quatrième, Netanel, le cinquième,
5 Ammiel, Issachar, and Peullethai. It was because God had blessed him that he had many sons.
Ammiël, le sixième, Issachar, le septième, Peoultaï, 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.
A son fils Chemaeya il naquit des fils, qui eurent la direction de leur maison paternelle, car c’étaient des gens 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 Chemaeya furent: Otni, Raphaël, Obed, Elzabad et ses frères des hommes vaillants Elihou et Semakhiahou.
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-ci, de la progéniture d’Obed-Edom, eux, leurs fils et leurs frères étaient des hommes vaillants
9 Another guard was Meshelemiah. He and his sons and relatives were also capable people. There were 18 of them altogether.
Mechélémiahou 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.
Hossa, descendant de Merari, avait des fils, dont Chimri était le chef; car à défaut d’un fils aîné 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.
Hilkiyahou était le second, Tebaliahou le troisième, Zekhariahou le quatrième: fils et frères de Hossa étaient ensemble 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.
A ces sections de portiers, à ces chefs de groupes d’hommes incombait la tâche de faire le service dans le temple de l’Eternel, concurremment avec leurs frères.
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.
On désigna, par la voie du sort, petits et grands, d’après leurs familles, pour la garde de chacune des portes.
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 attribua à Chélémiahou le côté Est; quant à son fils Zekhariahou, conseiller avisé, on consulta le sort, qui le désigna pour le côté 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.
Obed-Edom eut la garde du côté Sud, ses fils celle du dépôt des magasins.
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.
Chouppim et Hossa eurent le côté Ouest, ainsi que la porte de Challékhet, sur la chaussée montante: un poste faisait face à 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.
Six Lévites étaient postés du côté de l’Est, quatre par jour du côté du Nord, quatre par jour du côté du Midi; les magasins étaient gardés par deux groupes de deux.
18 At the West gate there were two men who guarded the courtyard and four who guarded the road outside the courtyard.
Quant au Parbar à l’Ouest, quatre gardaient la chaussée montante et deux le Parbar.
19 Those were the groups of men who were descendants of Korah and Merari who guarded the gates [of the temple].
Telles étaient les subdivisions des portiers, pour les Korahites et les Merarites.
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.
Quant aux Lévites, leurs frères, préposés aux trésors du temple de Dieu et aux 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.
c’étaient les fils de Laedân, descendants de Gerson par Laedân, les chefs de famille de Laedân, le Gersonite, les Yehiêlites.
22 Others who had that work were Zetham and his [younger] brother Joel, who were the sons of Jehiel.
Les descendants de Yehiël, Zêtam et Joël étaient commis à la garde des trésors du temple de l’Eternel.
23 Others who did that work were descendants of Amram, Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel.
En ce qui concerne les descendants d’Amram, Yiçhar, Hébron et Ouzziel,
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.
Chebouël, fils de Gerson, fils de Moïse, était intendant 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, par Eliézer, étaient Rehabiahou, fils de ce dernier, Isaïe, son fils, Joram, son fils, Zikhri, son fils, et Chelomit, 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 Chelomit et ses frères étaient préposés à tous les trésors d’objets saints qu’avaient consacrés le roi David, les chefs des familles, chiliarques et centurions, 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.
C’Est sur le butin de guerre qu’ils les avaient consacrés en vue d’édifier le temple de l’Eternel.
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.
De même, tout ce qu’avaient consacré Samuel, le voyant, Saül, fils de Kich, Abner, fils de Ner, et Joab, fils de Cerouya, en un mot, tous les consécrateurs, était confié à la garde de Chelomit 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.
Dans la famille de Yiçhar, Kenaniahou et ses fils étaient préposés à la besogne extérieure en Israël, comme prévôts et comme 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.
Parmi les Hébronites, Hachabiahou et ses frères, tous hommes vaillants, au nombre de mille sept cents, étaient chargés des affaires d’Israël en deçà du Jourdain, à l’Ouest, en tout ce qui avait trait au service de l’Eternel et au 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].
De ces Hébronites Yeriya était le chef, eu égard à la généalogie par familles de Hébron (ce fut dans la quarantième année du règne de David qu’on fit des recherches sur eux: il se trouva parmi eux des hommes vaillants à Yazer 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 étaient des hommes de courage, au nombre de deux mille sept cents chefs de famille. Le roi David les mit à la tête des tribus de Ruben, de Gad et de la demi-tribu de Manassé, pour veiller à tous les intérêts de Dieu et aux intérêts du roi.
