1 Chronicles 23
1 Now David was old and full of days; and he made Solomon his son king over Israel.
Na kua koroheketia a Rawiri, kua rite ona tau; a ka meinga e ia tana tama a Horomona hei kingi mo Iharaira.
2 He gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.
Na ka huihuia e ia nga rangatira katoa o Iharaira, ratou ko nga tohunga, ko nga Riwaiti.
3 The Levites were counted from thirty years old and upward; and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty-eight thousand.
Na ka taua nga Riwaiti, nga mea e toru tekau, he maha atu ranei, o ratou tau. Na, ko to ratou tokomaha, he mea tatau a tangata tonu, e toru tekau ma waru mano.
4 David said, “Of these, twenty-four thousand were to oversee the work of the LORD’s house, six thousand were officers and judges,
O enei, e rua tekau ma wha mano hei whakahaere i te mahi o te whare o Ihowa; na, ko nga rangatira, ko nga kaiwhakarite, e ono mano.
5 four thousand were doorkeepers, and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I made for giving praise.”
Na e wha mano hei kaitiaki kuwaha, a e wha mano hei whakamoemiti ki a Ihowa i runga i nga mea whakatangi i hanga e ahau, e ai ta Rawiri, hei mea whakamoemiti.
6 David divided them into divisions according to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
A wehea ana ratou e Rawiri, he wehenga, he wehenga, ki nga tama a Riwai, a Kerehona, a Kohata, a Merari.
7 Of the Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei.
O nga Kerehoni, ko Raarana, ko Himei.
8 The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the chief, Zetham, and Joel, three.
Ko nga tama a Raarana; ko te upoko ko Tehiere, ko Tetama, ko Hoera, tokotoru.
9 The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the heads of the fathers’ households of Ladan.
Ko nga tama a Himei; ko Heromoto, ko Hatiere, ko Harana, tokotoru. Ko nga upoko enei o nga whare o nga matua o Raarana.
10 The sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.
Na, ko nga tama a Himei; ko Iahata, ko Tina, ko Ieuhu, ko Peria. Ko enei tokowha he tama na Himei.
11 Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second; but Jeush and Beriah didn’t have many sons; therefore they became a fathers’ house in one reckoning.
Ko Iahata te upoko, ko Tita te tuarua: na kihai i tokomaha nga tama a Ieuhu raua ko Peria, a hei whare matua raua, kotahi ano tauanga.
12 The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.
Ko nga tama a Kohata; ko Amarama, ko Itihara, ko Heperona, ko Utiere, tokowha.
13 The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses; and Aaron was separated that he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons forever, to burn incense before the LORD, to minister to him, and to bless in his name forever.
Ko nga tama a Amarama; ko Arona raua ko Mohi. Na i motuhia a Arona hei whakatapu i nga mea tapu rawa, a ia me ana tama, ake ake hei tahu whakakakara ki te aroaro o Ihowa, hei minita ki a ia, hei manaaki i runga i tona ingoa a ake ake.
14 But as for Moses the man of God, his sons were named amongst the tribe of Levi.
Na ko Mohi tangata a te Atua, no te iwi o Riwai te karangatanga o ana tama.
15 The sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.
Ko nga tama a Mohi; ko Kerehoma, ko Erietere.
16 The sons of Gershom: Shebuel the chief.
O nga tama a Kerehoma, ko Hepuere te upoko.
17 The son of Eliezer was Rehabiah the chief; and Eliezer had no other sons, but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.
Na, ko nga tama a Erietere; ko Rehapia te upoko. A kahore atu he tama a Erietere. He tokomaha rawa ia nga tama a Rehapia.
18 The son of Izhar: Shelomith the chief.
O nga tama a Itihara; ko Heromiti te upoko.
19 The sons of Hebron: Jeriah the chief, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
O nga tama a Heperona; ko Teria te upoko, ko Amaria te tuarua, ko Tahatiere te tuatoru, ko Tekameama te tuawha.
20 The sons of Uzziel: Micah the chief, and Isshiah the second.
O nga tama a Utiere; ko Mika te upoko, ko Ihiia te tuarua.
21 The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.
Ko nga tama a Merari; ko Mahari, ko Muhi. Ko nga tama a Mahari; ko Ereatara, ko Kihi.
22 Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters only; and their relatives, the sons of Kish, took them as wives.
Na ka mate a Ereatara; kahore ana tama; engari he tamahine: a riro ana ratou hei wahine i o ratou tungane, i nga tama a Kihi.
23 The sons of Mushi: Mahli, Eder, and Jeremoth, three.
Ko nga tama a Muhi; ko Mahari, ko Erere, ko Teremoto, tokotoru.
24 These were the sons of Levi after their fathers’ houses, even the heads of the fathers’ houses of those who were counted individually, in the number of names by their polls, who did the work for the service of the LORD’s house, from twenty years old and upward.
Ko nga tama enei a Riwai i nga whare o o ratou matua; ara nga upoko o nga whare o nga matua, he mea tatau a tangata, tenei ingoa, tenei ingoa o nga kaimahi i nga mea mo te whare o Ihowa, te hunga, e rua tekau, he maha atu hoki o ratou tau.
25 For David said, “The LORD, the God of Israel, has given rest to his people; and he dwells in Jerusalem forever.
I mea hoki a Rawiri, Kua meinga nei e Ihowa, e te Atua o Iharaira tana iwi kia okioki, a ka moho tonu ia ki Hiruharama:
26 Also the Levites will no longer need to carry the tabernacle and all its vessels for its service.”
Me nga Riwaiti, heoi ano ta ratou amohanga i te tapenakara, me ona mea katoa mo nga mahi ki reira.
27 For by the last words of David the sons of Levi were counted, from twenty years old and upward.
Na nga kupu whakamutunga hoki a Rawiri i taua ai nga Riwaiti e rua nei tekau, he maha atu hoki, o ratou tau.
28 For their duty was to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of the LORD’s house—in the courts, in the rooms, and in the purifying of all holy things, even the work of the service of God’s house;
Ko te turanga hoki mo ratou kei te taha o nga tama a Arona, mo nga mahi o te whare o Ihowa, i nga marae, i nga ruma, i te purenga o nga mea tapu katoa, i te meatanga o te mahi te whare o te Atua;
29 for the show bread also, and for the fine flour for a meal offering, whether of unleavened wafers, or of that which is baked in the pan, or of that which is soaked, and for all measurements of quantity and size;
Ara o te taro aroaro, o te paraoa mo te whakahere totokore, o nga keke rewenakore, o te mea i tunua ki te paraharaha, o te mea i paraipanatia, o nga mea katoa e mehuatia ana, e ruritia ana;
30 and to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD, and likewise in the evening;
Hei tu i tenei ata, i tenei ata, ki te whakawhetai, ki te whakamoemiti ki a Ihowa; kia pera hoki i te ahiahi;
31 and to offer all burnt offerings to the LORD on the Sabbaths, on the new moons, and on the set feasts, in number according to the ordinance concerning them, continually before the LORD;
Hei whakaeke mo nga tahunga tinana katoa ma Ihowa i nga hapati, i nga marama hou, i nga hakari i whakaritea; he mea tatau tonu ratou, i runga i te tikanga mo ratou, i te aroaro tonu o Ihowa:
32 and that they should keep the duty of the Tent of Meeting, the duty of the holy place, and the duty of the sons of Aaron their brothers for the service of the LORD’s house.
Ko ratou ano hei tiaki i nga mea o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, hei tiaki i te wahi tapu, hei tiaki hoki i nga mea o o ratou tuakana, o nga tama a Arona, i te mea e mahi ana i nga mea o te whare o Ihowa.
