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 Koréites: Meschélémia, fils de Koré, d’entre les fils d’Asaph.
2 The oldest son of Meshelemiah was Zechariah. His other sons were Jediael, Zebadiah, Jathniel,
Fils de Meschélémia: Zacharie, le premier-né, Jediaël le second, Zebadia le troisième, Jathniel le quatrième,
3 Elam, Jehohanan, and Eliehoenai.
Élam le cinquième, Jochanan le sixième, Éljoénaï le septième.
4 [Another guard] was Obed-Edom. His oldest son was Shemaiah. His other sons were Jehozabad, Joah, Sacar, Nethanel,
Fils d’Obed-Édom: Schemaeja, le premier-né, Jozabad le second, Joach le troisième, Sacar le quatrième, Nethaneel 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, Peulthaï 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 Schemaeja, son fils, naquirent des fils qui dominèrent 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 Schemaeja: Othni, Rephaël, Obed, Elzabad et ses frères, hommes vaillants, Élihu et Semaeja.
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, leurs fils et leurs frères, étaient des hommes pleins de vigueur et de force pour le service, soixante-deux d’Obed-Édom.
9 Another guard was Meshelemiah. He and his sons and relatives were also capable people. There were 18 of them altogether.
Les fils et les frères de Meschélémia, hommes vaillants, étaient 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.
Des fils de Merari: Hosa, qui avait pour fils: Schimri, le chef, établi chef par son père, quoiqu’il ne fût pas le premier-né,
11 Hosah’s other sons were Hilkiah, Tabaliah, and Zechariah. Altogether there were 13 sons and relatives of Hosah.
Hilkija le second, Thebalia le troisième, Zacharie 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.
A ces classes de portiers, aux chefs de ces hommes et à leurs frères, fut remise la garde pour le service de 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.
Ils tirèrent au sort pour chaque porte, petits et grands, selon leurs maisons 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 échut à Schélémia pour le côté de l’orient. On tira au sort pour Zacharie, son fils, qui était un sage conseiller, et le côté du septentrion lui échut par le sort.
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 Obed-Édom, 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.
Le côté de l’occident échut à Schuppim et à Hosa, avec la porte Schalléketh, sur le chemin montant: une garde était 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.
Il y avait à l’orient six Lévites, au nord quatre par jour, au midi quatre par jour, et quatre aux magasins en deux places différentes;
18 At the West gate there were two men who guarded the courtyard and four who guarded the road outside the courtyard.
du côté du faubourg, à l’occident, quatre vers le chemin, deux vers le faubourg.
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 classes des portiers, d’entre les fils des Koréites 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.
L’un des Lévites, Achija, avait l’intendance des trésors de la maison de Dieu et des 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.
Parmi les fils de Laedan, les fils des Guerschonites issus de Laedan, chefs des maisons paternelles de Laedan le Guerschonite, c’étaient Jehiéli,
22 Others who had that work were Zetham and his [younger] brother Joel, who were the sons of Jehiel.
et les fils de Jehiéli, Zétham et Joël, son frère, qui gardaient les trésors de la maison de l’Éternel.
23 Others who did that work were descendants of Amram, Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel.
Parmi les Amramites, les Jitseharites, les Hébronites et les 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.
c’était Schebuel, fils de Guerschom, fils de Moïse, qui 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.
Parmi ses frères issus d’Éliézer, dont le fils fut Rechabia, dont le fils fut Ésaïe, dont le fils fut Joram, dont le fils fut Zicri, dont le fils fut Schelomith,
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 Schelomith et ses frères qui gardaient tous les trésors des choses saintes qu’avaient consacrées le roi David, les chefs des maisons paternelles, 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.
c’était sur le butin pris à la guerre qu’ils les avaient consacrées 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.
Tout ce qui avait été consacré par Samuel, le voyant, par Saül, fils de Kis, par Abner, fils de Ner, par Joab, fils de Tseruja, toutes les choses consacrées étaient sous la garde de Schelomith 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 Jitseharites, Kenania et ses frères étaient employés pour les affaires extérieures, comme magistrats et juges en Israël.
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, Haschabia 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 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].
En ce qui concerne les Hébronites, dont Jerija était le chef, on fit, la quarantième année du règne de David, des recherches à leur égard d’après leurs généalogies et leurs maisons paternelles, et l’on trouva parmi eux de vaillants hommes à Jaezer 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.
Les frères de Jerija, hommes vaillants, étaient au nombre de deux mille sept cents chefs de maisons paternelles. 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 pour les affaires du roi.
