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.
Ceux à qui les portes furent distribuées, étaient les fils de Coré, Mosellamia, de la famille d'Asaph.
2 The oldest son of Meshelemiah was Zechariah. His other sons were Jediael, Zebadiah, Jathniel,
Et les fils de Mosellamia: Zacharie le premier-né, Jadiel le second, Zabadie le troisième, Jénuel le quatrième,
3 Elam, Jehohanan, and Eliehoenai.
Jolam le cinquième, Jonathan le sixième, Elionai le septième, Abdedom le huitième.
4 [Another guard] was Obed-Edom. His oldest son was Shemaiah. His other sons were Jehozabad, Joah, Sacar, Nethanel,
Et les fils d'Abdedom: Samaias le premier-né, Jozabath le second, Joath le troisième, Sachar le quatrième, Nathanaél le cinquième,
5 Ammiel, Issachar, and Peullethai. It was because God had blessed him that he had many sons.
Amiel le sixième, Issachar le septième, Phelathi 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 son premier fils Samaïas, des fils naquirent, et furent chefs dans leur famille, parce qu'ils étaient forts
7 The sons of Shemaiah were Othni, Rephael, Obed, and Elzabad. Shemaiah’s relatives Elihu and Semakiah were also capable men.
Fils de Samaï: Otbni, Raphaël, Obed, Elzabath, Achiud, tous hommes forts, Elia, Sabachias et Isbacom.
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 issus d'Abdedom; eux, et leurs fils et leurs frères, remplissant avec énergie leurs fonctions, au nombre de soixante-deux, issus d'Abdedom.
9 Another guard was Meshelemiah. He and his sons and relatives were also capable people. There were 18 of them altogether.
Mosellemia avait dix-huit fils et frères, tous hommes forts.
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 les fils d'Osa, issu de Mérari, et qui n'était pas le premier-né, commandaient ce service; son père lui donna le commandement de la deuxième division.
11 Hosah’s other sons were Hilkiah, Tabaliah, and Zechariah. Altogether there were 13 sons and relatives of Hosah.
Helcias venait après lui, Tablé était le troisième, Zacharie le quatrième; les fils et les frères d'Osa étaient en tout: 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.
C'est entre eux que furent partagées les portes; chefs énergiques, servant avec autant de zèle que leurs frères, employés dans l'intérieur du temple.
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 tirèrent au sort les portes où ils devaient être placés, après qu'on les eut classés, selon leur plus ou moins de force, par familles paternelles.
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 désigna, pour la porte orientale, Sélémie et Zacharie; ensuite, les fils de Soaz, issu de Melchia, agitèrent les sorts, et celui de la porte du nord sortit.
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.
Abdedom eut la porte du midi, en face de la maison d'Esephim.
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.
Osa eut la seconde porte du côté de l'orient, après celle qui mène au vestibule des degrés; un garde vis-à-vis l'autre garde.
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 chaque jour six hommes à la porte orientale, quatre à celle du nord, quatre à celle du midi et deux à Esephim,
18 At the West gate there were two men who guarded the courtyard and four who guarded the road outside the courtyard.
Pour la relève, du côté du couchant quatre et deux à l'entrée du chemin.
19 Those were the groups of men who were descendants of Korah and Merari who guarded the gates [of the temple].
Les portes étaient ainsi distribuées entre les fils dé Coré et ceux 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.
Et des lévites, leurs frères, gardaient le trésor de la demeure du Seigneur et le trésor des consécrations.
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.
Ceux-là étaient fils de Ladan; ils étaient issus des fils de Gerson; les chefs des familles provenaient de Ladan, le fils de Ladan le Gersonite était Jehiel.
22 Others who had that work were Zetham and his [younger] brother Joel, who were the sons of Jehiel.
Zethom et Johel, son frère, fils de Jehiel, étaient intendants du trésor de la demeure du Seigneur,
23 Others who did that work were descendants of Amram, Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel.
Avec les familles d'Amram, d'Issaar, d'Hébron et d'Oziel.
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.
Subael, issu de Gersam, fils de Moïse, était aussi 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.
Or, Eliézer, l'un de ses proches, eut pour fils Rabias, de qui descendirent: Josias, Joram, Zéchri et Salomoth.
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 Salomoth et ses frères eurent l'intendance de tous les trésors saints, que consacrèrent le roi David et les chefs de familles paternelles, commandants de mille hommes, ou centeniers, ou princes 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'étaient les choses qu'ils avaient enlevées des villes prises sur l'ennemi, et consacrées pour subvenir aux frais de construction du temple de Dieu.
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.
Ainsi, tout ce qu'avait consacré Samuel le prophète; Saül, fils de Cis; Abner, fils de Ner; Joab, fils de Servie, fut confié à Salomoth et à 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.
Honnias, issu d'Isaar, et ses fils, furent chargés de fonctions extérieures en Israël; ils étaient scribes 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.
Asubias, issu d'Hébron, et ses frères, hommes forts, au nombre de dix- sept cents, avaient la surveillance d'Israël, sur la rive occidentale du Jourdain, pour tout ce qui concernait le service du Seigneur et le gouvernement 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].
Urie était le chef de la postérité d'Hébron, par familles paternelles; or, la quarantième année du règne de David, elle fut recensée en Jazer-Galaad, et Urie fut reconnu vaillant.
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.
Ses frères, les chefs de famille, au nombre de deux mille sept cents, étaient aussi des hommes forts; le roi les institua intendants de Ruben, de Gad et de la demi-tribu de Manassé, pour tout ce qui concernait les commandements du Seigneur et les ordres du roi.
