1 Now the children of Israel after their number, that is, the chief fathers and captains of thousands and hundreds, and their officers that served the king in any matter of the courses, which came in and went out month by month throughout all the months of the year, of every course were twenty and four thousand.

2 Over the first course for the first month was Jashobeam the son of Zabdiel: and in his course were twenty and four thousand.

3 Of the children of Perez was the chief of all the captains of the host for the first month.

4 And over the course of the second month was Dodai an Ahohite, and of his course was Mikloth also the ruler: in his course likewise were twenty and four thousand.

5 The third captain of the host for the third month was Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, a chief priest: and in his course were twenty and four thousand.

6 This is that Benaiah, who was mighty among the thirty, and above the thirty: and in his course was Ammizabad his son.

7 The fourth captain for the fourth month was Asahel the brother of Joab, and Zebadiah his son after him: and in his course were twenty and four thousand.

8 The fifth captain for the fifth month was Shamhuth the Izrahite: and in his course were twenty and four thousand.

16 Furthermore over the tribes of Israel: the ruler of the Reubenites was Eliezer the son of Zichri: of the Simeonites, Shephatiah the son of Maachah:

Inilah daftar nama kepala suku dalam bangsa Israel: (Suku-Kepala), Ruben-Eliezer anak Zikhri; Simeon-Sefaca anak Maakha; Lewi-Hasabya anak Kemuel; Harun-Zadok; Yehuda-Elihu, salah seorang saudara Raja Daud; Isakhar-Omri anak Mikhael; Zebulon-Yismaya anak Obaja; Naftali-Yerimot anak Azriel; Efraim-Hosea anak Azazya; Manasye yang di sebelah barat Sungai Yordan-Yoel anak Pedaya; Manasye yang di sebelah timur Sungai Yordan-Yido anak Zakharia; Benyamin-Yaasiel anak Abner; Dan-Azareel anak Yeroham.

17 Of the Levites, Hashabiah the son of Kemuel: of the Aaronites, Zadok:

18 Of Judah, Elihu, one of the brethren of David: of Issachar, Omri the son of Michael:

19 Of Zebulun, Ishmaiah the son of Obadiah: of Naphtali, Jerimoth the son of Azriel:

20 Of the children of Ephraim, Hoshea the son of Azaziah: of the half tribe of Manasseh, Joel the son of Pedaiah:

21 Of the half tribe of Manasseh in Gilead, Iddo the son of Zechariah: of Benjamin, Jaasiel the son of Abner:

22 Of Dan, Azareel the son of Jeroham. These were the princes of the tribes of Israel.

23 But David took not the number of them from twenty years old and under: because the LORD had said he would increase Israel like the stars of the heavens.

Raja Daud tidak mengadakan sensus di antara orang-orang yang berumur di bawah 20 tahun, sebab TUHAN sudah berjanji hendak membuat orang Israel sebanyak bintang di langit.

24 Joab the son of Zeruiah began to number, but he finished not, because there fell wrath for it against Israel; neither was the number put in the account of the chronicles of king David.

Yoab anak Zeruya sudah mulai mengadakan sensus, tetapi ia tidak menyelesaikannya, sebab Allah menghukum orang Israel, karena sensus itu. Itulah sebabnya jumlah mereka tidak tercatat dalam buku Raja Daud.

25 And over the king’s treasuries was Azmaveth the son of Adiel: and over the storehouses in the fields, in the cities, and in the villages, and in the castles, was Jehonathan the son of Uzziah:

Inilah daftar nama para pengurus harta milik raja: Gudang-gudang di istana dan di Yerusalem: Azmawet anak Adiel. Gudang-gudang di luar Yerusalem: Yonatan anak Uzia. Pekerja-pekerja ladang: Ezri anak Kelub. Kebun-kebun anggur: Simei dari kota Rama. Tempat-tempat penyimpanan anggur: Zabdi dari kota Syifmi. Pohon zaitun dan pohon ara (di kaki pegunungan sebelah barat): Baal-Hanan dari kota Gederi. Tempat-tempat penyimpanan minyak Zaitun: Yoas. Ternak di Padang Saron: Sitrai dari kota Saron.

26 And over them that did the work of the field for tillage of the ground was Ezri the son of Chelub:

27 And over the vineyards was Shimei the Ramathite: over the increase of the vineyards for the wine cellars was Zabdi the Shiphmite:

28 And over the olive trees and the sycamore trees that were in the low plains was Baalhanan the Gederite: and over the cellars of oil was Joash:

29 And over the herds that fed in Sharon was Shitrai the Sharonite: and over the herds that were in the valleys was Shaphat the son of Adlai:

30 Over the camels also was Obil the Ishmaelite: and over the donkeys was Jehdeiah the Meronothite:

31 And over the flocks was Jaziz the Hagerite. All these were the rulers of the substance which was king David’s.

32 Also Jonathan David’s uncle was a counsellor, a wise man, and a scribe: and Jehiel the son of Hachmoni was with the king’s sons:

Paman Raja Daud yang bernama Yonatan, adalah seorang penasihat yang pandai dan terpelajar. Ia dan Yehiel anak Hakhmoni diserahi tanggung jawab atas pendidikan putra-putra raja.

33 And Ahithophel was the king’s counsellor: and Hushai the Archite was the king’s companion:

Ahitofel adalah penasihat raja, dan Husai orang Arki, adalah penasihat dan sahabat karib raja.

34 And after Ahithophel was Jehoiada the son of Benaiah, and Abiathar: and the general of the king’s army was Joab.

Setelah Ahitofel meninggal, ia digantikan oleh Abyatar dan Yoyada anak Benaya. Panglima angkatan perang kerajaan adalah Yoab.
