1 Chronicles 23
1 When David was old and near the end of his life, he made Solomon his son king over Israel.
Nigain-kantetse t’i Davide naho nilifots’andro; vaho nanoe’e mpanjaka’ Israele t’i Selomò ana-dahi’e.
2 He gathered together all the leaders of Israel, with the priests and Levites.
Le natonto’e iaby o roandria’ Israeleo naho o mpisoroñeo vaho o nte-Levio.
3 The Levites who were thirty years old and older were counted. They numbered thirty-eight thousand.
Niaheñe amo añambone’eo ki-ondaty-ondaty, o nte-Levy telopolo taoñe mañamboneo, le ni-telo-ale-tsi-valo-arivo.
4 “Of these, twenty-four thousand were to oversee the work of Yahweh's house, and six thousand were officers and judges.
Ro’ale-tsi-efats’ arivo am’ iereo ty hisary ty fitoloñañe amy anjomba’ Iehovày; le eneñ’ arivo ty ho mpifeleke naho mpizaka;
5 Four thousand were gatekeepers, and four thousand were to praise Yahweh with the instruments that I made to give praise,” David said.
le efats’arivo ty hañamben-dalambey; vaho efats’ arivo ty hisabo am’ Iehovà amo fititihañe niranjieko ho fijejoañeo.
6 He divided them into groups that corresponded to Levi's sons: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
Zinara’ i Davide am-pirimboñañe o ana’ i Levio: i Gersone, i Kehàte vaho i Merarý.
7 From the clans descended from Gershon, there were Ladan and Shimei.
Amo nte-Gersoneo: i Ladane naho i Simeý.
8 There were three of Ladan's sons: Jehiel the leader, Zetham, and Joel.
O ana’ i Ladaneo: Iekiele ty nimpiaolo naho i Zetame vaho Ioele, telo.
9 There were three of Shimei's sons: Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran. These were the leaders of the clans of Ladan.
O ana’ i Simeio; i Selomite naho i Kaziele vaho i Harane, telo. Iereo ty nimpiaolo añ’ anjomba’ i Ladane rae’e.
10 There were four of Shimei's sons: Jahath, Ziza, Jeush, and Beriah.
O ana’ i Simeìo: Iakate, i Zinà naho Iehose vaho i Beria. I efatse rey ro ana’ i Simeý.
11 Jahath was the oldest, and Ziza the second, but Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, so they were considered as one clan with the same duties.
Talè t’Iakate, faha-roe t’i Zizà; le tsy nimaro anake t’Iehose naho i Berià vaho nivolilieñe ho raike iereo ty aman’ anjomban-droae.
12 There were four of Kohath's sons: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.
O ana’ i Kehàteo: I Amrame, Iitshare, i Kebrone vaho i Oziele, efatse.
13 These were Amram's sons: Aaron and Moses. Aaron was chosen to set apart the most holy things, that he and his descendants would offer incense before Yahweh, to serve him and to give blessings in his name forever.
O ana’ i Amrameo: i Aharone naho i Mosè; navike t’i Aharone, nambahañe hiavake do’e, ie naho o ana-dahi’e nainai’e doniao, hañembok’ añatrefa’ Iehovà naho hitoroñe aze vaho hibango i tahina’ey nainai’e.
14 But as for Moses the man of God, his sons were considered to be Levites.
Niaheñe am-pifokoa’ i Levy ao o ana’ i Mosè, ondatin’ Añahareo.
15 Moses' sons were Gershom and Eliezer.
O ana’ i Mosèo: i Gersome naho i Eliezere.
16 Gershom's descendant was Shubael the oldest.
O ana’ i Gersomeo: i Seboele, talè.
17 Eliezer's descendant was Rehabiah. Eliezer had no other sons, but Rehabiah had many descendants.
Ana’ i Eliezere t’i Rekabià, talè. Tsy nanañ’ anake ila’e t’i Eliezere fe tsiefa ty anadahi’ i Rekabia.
18 Izhar's son was Shelomith the leader.
O ana’ Iitshareo: i Selomite, talè.
19 Hebron's descendants were Jeriah, the oldest, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
O ana’ i Kebroneo: Ierià, tañoloñoloña’e, i Amarià ty faharoe, Iakaziele ty fahatelo vaho Iekameame ty fahefatse.
20 Uzziel's sons were Micah the oldest, and Ishijah the second.
O ana’ i Ozieleo: i Mikà, tañoloñoloña’e naho Iesià, faharoe.
21 Merari's sons were Mahli and Mushi. Mahli's sons were Eleazar and Kish.
O ana’ i Merario: i Maklý naho i Mosý. Le o ana’ i Maklìo: I Eleazare naho i Kise.
22 Eleazar died without having any sons. He had only daughters. The sons of Kish married them.
Nivilasy tsy aman’ ana-dahy t’i Eleazare, f’ie nanañ’ anak’ ampela, le nengae’ o rahalahi’e ana’ i Kiseo iereo.
23 Mushi's three sons were Mahli, Eder, and Jerimoth.
O ana’ i Mosio: i Maklý naho i Edere vaho Ieremote, telo.
24 These were Levi's descendants corresponding to their clans. They were the leaders, counted and listed by name, of the clans that did the work in the service of Yahweh's house, from twenty years old and upward.
Izay o ana’ i Levio amo anjomban-droae’eo; o talèn-droae’eo, ie vinolily an’ iake ty amo tahina’eo, ty amo añambone’eo; o nifanehak’ am-pitoloñañe añ’ anjomba’ Iehovà ao boak’an-tao’e faha-roapolo mañamboneo.
25 For David said, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, has given rest to his people. He makes his home in Jerusalem forever.
Ami’ty nanoe’ i Davide ty hoe, Fa tinolo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele fitofàñe ondati’eo; ie himoneñe e Ierosalaime ao nainai’e.
26 The Levites will no longer need to carry the tabernacle and all the equipment used in its service.”
Le o nte-Levio: tsy ho tarazoe’ iereo ka i kivohoy ndra o fana-pitoloñañeo.
27 For by David's last words the Levites were counted, from twenty years old and upward.
Fa ty tsara’ fara’ i D’avide, le ty famoliliañe o nte-Levy roapolo taoñe mañamboneo.
28 Their duty was to assist Aaron's descendants in the service of Yahweh's house. They were to care for the courtyards, the rooms, the ceremonial purification of all the things that belong to Yahweh, and other work in the service of God's house.
Amy te nampijadoñeñe am-pità’ o ana’ i Aharoneo ty fitoloñañe añ’anjomba’ Iehovà ao, an-kiririsa’e ao naho amo efets’ efe’eo naho amy fañeferañe o raha masiñe iabioy vaho ty fitoroñañe añ’ anjomban’ Añahare,
29 They also took care of the bread of the presence, the fine flour for grain offerings, the unleavened wafers, the baked offerings, the offerings mixed with oil, and all the measuring of the amounts and sizes of things.
amy mofo miatrekey naho amy mona’e ho enga-mahakamay naho ty mofo-pila’e tsy aman-dalivay, ke t’ie toñaheñe añ’ endraendra he alaro menake naho ze hene fañaranañe naho fanjeheañe;
30 They also stood every morning to thank and praise Yahweh. They also did this in the evening
naho t’ie hijohañe eo boa-maraiñe, hañandriañe naho handrenge Iehovà, naho hariva ka;
31 and whenever burnt offerings were offered to Yahweh, on the Sabbath and at the new moon festivals and feast days. A fixed number, assigned by decree, always had to be present before Yahweh.
naho hañenga ze hene soroñe am’ Iehovà, amo Sabatao naho amo pea-bolañeo naho amo andro namantañañeo, ami’ty ia’e nafetse, añatrefa’ Iehovà nainai’ey;
32 They were in charge of the tent of meeting, the holy place, and helped their fellow descendants of Aaron in the service of Yahweh's house.
vaho hañambeñe i kivohom-pamantañañey naho hañambeñe i toetse masiñey naho hiaolo o ana-dahi’ i Aharone, roahalahi’eo, ami’ty fitoroñañe añ’ anjomba’ Iehovà ao.
