1 Chronicles 9
1 The [names of all the] people of Israel were listed/written with the names of their clans, and that information was written in the scroll/book named ‘The Record of the Kings of Israel’. [Many of] the people of Judah were captured and forced to go to Babylon. That happened because they did not faithfully [do what was pleasing to] God.
Et tous ceux d’Israël furent enregistrés par généalogies; et voici, ils sont inscrits dans le livre des rois d’Israël. Et Juda fut transporté à Babylone à cause de ses péchés.
2 The first people who returned [to Judah 70 years later] and lived in their own land and in their own cities and towns were some Israeli priests, other descendants of Levi, and men who worked in the temple.
Et les premiers habitants qui étaient dans leurs possessions, dans leurs villes, étaient Israël, les sacrificateurs, les lévites, et les Nethiniens.

18 Those gatekeepers from the tribe of Levi stood at the King’s Gate on the east side [of the temple].

Tous ceux-là, choisis pour portiers des seuils, étaient 212; ils furent enregistrés par généalogies dans leurs villages; David et Samuel, le voyant, les avaient établis dans leur charge.
23 The work of those gatekeepers and their descendants was to guard the entrances of the Sacred Tent of Yahweh. That was before the temple was built to replace the Sacred Tent.
Et eux, et leurs fils, étaient [établis] aux portes de la maison de l’Éternel, de la maison de la tente, pour y faire la garde.
24 There were gatekeepers on each of the four sides of the Sacred Tent.
Les portiers étaient vers les quatre vents, à l’orient, à l’occident, au nord, et au midi.
25 Sometimes it was necessary for the relatives of the gatekeepers who lived in those villages to come and help them. Each time some of them came, they helped the gatekeepers for seven days.
Et leurs frères, dans leurs villages, devaient venir de sept jours en sept jours, d’un terme à l’autre, auprès d’eux;
26 There were four descendants of Levi who [worked every day, and they] supervised the gatekeepers. They also took care of the rooms and treasures in the Sacred Tent of God.
car, dans leur charge, ces quatre furent les principaux portiers: ils étaient Lévites; et ils étaient [préposés] sur les chambres et sur les trésors de la maison de Dieu,
27 They remained awake all during the night to guard the Sacred Tent, and each morning they opened the gates.

31 There was a descendant of Levi named Mattithiah, the oldest son of Shallum, who was a descendant of Korah. He (was very dependable/always did what he was told to do), so they gave him {he was given} the work of baking the bread that was used in the offerings [on the altar].

et des fils des Kehathites, d’entre leurs frères, [étaient chargés] des pains à placer en rangées, pour les apprêter chaque sabbat.
33 Some of the descendants of Levi were musicians who worked in the Sacred Tent. The leaders of those families [stayed/slept] in the rooms [of the Sacred Tent]. They did not do [any other work] in the Sacred Tent because they were responsible to serve [as musicians] day and night.
Et ce sont là les chantres, chefs des pères des Lévites, qui étaient dans les chambres, étant exempts d’autres fonctions, parce que, jour et nuit, ils étaient à l’œuvre.
34 Those are [the names of] the leaders of the clans descended from Levi. Their names were written in the records of the clans. They all lived in Jerusalem.
Ce sont les chefs des pères des Lévites, selon leurs générations, des chefs; ceux-là habitèrent à Jérusalem.
