1 Chronicles 23
1 So when David was old and full of days, he made Solomon his son king over Israel.
Alò, lè David te vin granmoun, li te fè fis li Salomon, wa sou Israël.
2 And he assembled all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.
Li te ranmase tout chèf Israël yo avèk prèt ak Levit yo.
3 Now the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty years and upward: and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty and eight thousand.
Levit yo te kontwole soti nan trant ane oswa plis e fòs non pa yo selon gwo chif kontwòl la, te trant-uit-mil.
4 Of which, twenty and four thousand [were] to oversee the work of the house of the LORD; and six thousand [were] officers and judges:
Nan sila yo, venn-kat-mil te pou sipèvize lèv lakay SENYÈ a, si-mil te ofisye avèk jij,
5 Moreover, four thousand [were] porters; and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I made, [said David], to praise [with them].
kat-mil te gadyen pòtay yo, e kat-mil ki pou louwe SENYÈ a avèk enstriman ke David te fè pou bay lwanj yo.
6 And David divided them into courses among the sons of Levi, [namely], Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
David te divize yo an gwoup selon fanmi de fis yo a Lévi: Guerschon, Kehath, ak Merari.
7 Of the Gershonites, [were], Laadan and Shimei.
Nan Gèshonit yo: Laedan avèk Schimeï.
8 The sons of Laadan: the chief [was] Jehiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three.
Fis a Laedan yo: Jehiel, premye a, Zétham ak Joël, ki fè twa.
9 The sons of Shimei; Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These [were] the chief of the fathers of Laadan.
Fis a Shimei yo: Schelomith, Haziel avèk Haran, ki fè twa. Sila yo se te chèf lakay zansèt a Ladann yo.
10 And the sons of Shimei [were], Jahath, Zina, and Jeush and Beriah. These four [were] the sons of Shimei.
Fis a Shimei yo: Jahath, Zina, Jeush avèk Berlah. Kat sila yo te fis a Schimeï.
11 And Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second: but Jeush and Beriah had not many sons; therefore they were in one reckoning, according to [their] father's house.
Jachath se te premye a e Zina dezyèm nan; men Jeusch avèk Beria pa t fè anpil fis; akoz sa, yo te fòme yon sèl kay zansèt, yon sèl gwoup.
12 The sons of Kohath; Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.
Fis a Kehath yo: Amram, Jitsehar, Hébron avèk Uziel, kat.
13 The sons of Amram; Aaron and Moses: and Aaron was separated, that he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons for ever, to burn incense before the LORD, to minister to him, and to bless in his name for ever.
Fis a Anram yo: Aaron avèk Moïse. Epi Aaron te mete apa pou l te kab sanktifye li kote ki pi sen pase tout kote a, li menm avèk fis pa li yo jis pou tout tan, pou brile lansan devan SENYÈ a, pou fè sèvis pa Li, e pou beni nan non Li jis pou tout tan.
14 Now [concerning] Moses the man of God, his sons were named of the tribe of Levi.
Men Moïse, nonm Bondye a, fis pa li yo te rele pami tribi Lévi a.
15 The sons of Moses [were], Gershom, and Eliezer.
Fis a Moïse yo: Guerschom avèk Éliézer.
16 Of the sons of Gershom; Shebuel [was] the chief.
Fis a Guerschom yo: Schebuel, chèf la.
17 And the sons of Eliezer [were], Rehabiah the chief. And Eliezer had no other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.
Fis a Éliézer a te Rechabia, chèf la. Éliézer pa t gen lòt fis, men fis a Rechabia yo te an gran kantite.
18 Of the sons of Izhar; Shelomith the chief.
Fis a Jitsehar a: Schelomith, chèf la.
19 Of the sons of Hebron; Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jehaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
Fis a Hébron yo: Jerija, premye a; Amaria, dezyèm nan, Jachaziel, twazyèm nan; epi Jekameam, katriyèm nan.
20 Of the sons of Uzziel; Micah the first, and Jesiah the second.
Fis a Uziel yo: Michée, premye a ak Jischija, dezyèm nan.
21 The sons of Merari; Mahli, and Mushi. The sons of Mahli; Eleazar, and Kish.
Fis a Merari yo: Machli avèk Muschi. Fis a Machli yo: Éléazar avèk Kis.
22 And Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters: and their brethren the sons of Kish took them.
Éléazar te mouri san fè fis, men fi sèlman; pou sa, frè pa yo, fis a Kis yo te pran yo kon madanm pa yo.
23 The sons of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three.
Fis a Muschi yo: Machli, Éder avèk Jerémoth, twa.
24 These [were] the sons of Levi after the house of their fathers; [even] the chief of the fathers, as they were counted by number of names by their polls, that did the work for the service of the house of the LORD, from the age of twenty years and upward.
Sila yo se te fis a Lévi selon lakay zansèt pa yo, menm lakay zansèt a sila ki te kontwole nan kantite non nan gwo chif kontwòl la, sila ki t ap fè travay lakay SENYÈ a, soti nan ventan oswa plis.
25 For David said, The LORD God of Israel hath given rest to his people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem for ever;
Paske David te di: “SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, te bay repo a pèp Li a, e Li va abite Jérusalem jis pou tout tan.
26 And also to the Levites: they shall no [more] carry the tabernacle, nor any vessels of it for its service.
Anplis, Levit yo p ap ankò bezwen pote tabènak avèk tout zouti li yo pou sèvis li.”
27 For by the last words of David the Levites [were] numbered from twenty years old and above:
Paske pa dènye pawòl a David yo, fis a Levi yo te kontwole soti ventan oswa plis.
28 Because their office [was] to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of the LORD, in the courts, and in the chambers, and in the purifying of all holy things, and the work of the service of the house of God;
Paske wòl pa yo se pou ede fis a Aaron yo avèk sèvis lakay SENYÈ a, nan gwo lakou yo, nan chanm yo ak nan pirifye tout bagay sen yo, menm travay a sèvis lakay Bondye a,
29 Both for the show-bread, and for the fine flour for meat-offering, and for the unleavened cakes, and for [that which is baked in] the pan, and for that which is fried, and for all manner of measure and size;
epi avèk pen konsakre ak farin fen pou yon ofrann sereyal, galèt san ledven, oswa sa ki kwit nan veso, ni sa ki byen mele ak tout mezi a volim oswa gwosè yo.
30 And to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD, and likewise at evening;
Yo gen pou kanpe chak maten pou bay remèsiman avèk lwanj a SENYÈ a, e menm jan an nan aswè,
31 And to offer all burnt-sacrifices to the LORD on the sabbaths, in the new moons, and on the set feasts, by number, according to the order commanded to them, continually before the LORD:
epi pou ofri tout ofrann brile a SENYÈ a, nan Saba yo, nan nouvèl lin yo, avèk fèt etabli yo nan kontwòl ki òdone selon òdonans de yo menm, tout tan san rete devan SENYÈ a.
32 And that they should keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the holy [place], and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren, in the service of the house of the LORD.
Konsa yo gen pou kenbe chaj sou asanble tant yo, chaj sou plas sen an e chaj sou fis Aaron yo, fanmi pa yo, pou sèvis lakay SENYÈ a.
