1 Chronicles 23
1 And David is old, and satisfied with days, and causeth his son Solomon to reign over Israel,
Alò, lè David te vin granmoun, li te fè fis li Salomon, wa sou Israël.
2 and gathereth all the heads of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites;
Li te ranmase tout chèf Israël yo avèk prèt ak Levit yo.
3 and the Levites are numbered from a son of thirty years and upward, and their number, by their polls, is of mighty men 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 these to preside over the work of the house of Jehovah [are] twenty and four thousand, and officers and judges six thousand,
Nan sila yo, venn-kat-mil te pou sipèvize lèv lakay SENYÈ a, si-mil te ofisye avèk jij,
5 and four thousand gatekeepers, and four thousand giving praise to Jehovah, 'with instruments that I made for praising,' [saith David.]
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 distributeth them into courses: Of the sons of Levi: of Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
David te divize yo an gwoup selon fanmi de fis yo a Lévi: Guerschon, Kehath, ak Merari.
7 Of the Gershonite: Laadan and Shimei.
Nan Gèshonit yo: Laedan avèk Schimeï.
8 Sons of Laadan: the head [is] Jehiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three.
Fis a Laedan yo: Jehiel, premye a, Zétham ak Joël, ki fè twa.
9 Sons of Shimei [are] Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three; these [are] heads 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 sons of Shimei [are] Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah; these [are] sons of Shimei, four.
Fis a Shimei yo: Jahath, Zina, Jeush avèk Berlah. Kat sila yo te fis a Schimeï.
11 And Jahath is the head, and Zizah the second, and Jeush and Beriah have not multiplied sons, and they become the house of a father by one numbering.
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 Sons of Kohath [are] Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.
Fis a Kehath yo: Amram, Jitsehar, Hébron avèk Uziel, kat.
13 Sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses; and Aaron is separated for his sanctifying the holy of holies, he and his sons — unto the age, to make perfume before Jehovah, to serve Him, and to bless in His name — unto the age.
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 As to Moses, the man of God, his sons are called after the tribe of Levi.
Men Moïse, nonm Bondye a, fis pa li yo te rele pami tribi Lévi a.
15 Sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.
Fis a Moïse yo: Guerschom avèk Éliézer.
16 Sons of Gershom: Shebuel the head.
Fis a Guerschom yo: Schebuel, chèf la.
17 And sons of Eliezer are Rehabiah the head, and Eliezer had no other sons, and the sons of Rehabiah have multiplied exceedingly.
Fis a Éliézer a te Rechabia, chèf la. Éliézer pa t gen lòt fis, men fis a Rechabia yo te an gran kantite.
18 Sons of Izhar: Shelomith the head.
Fis a Jitsehar a: Schelomith, chèf la.
19 Sons of Hebron: Jeriah the head, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
Fis a Hébron yo: Jerija, premye a; Amaria, dezyèm nan, Jachaziel, twazyèm nan; epi Jekameam, katriyèm nan.
20 Sons of Uzziel: Micah the head, and Ishshiah, the second.
Fis a Uziel yo: Michée, premye a ak Jischija, dezyèm nan.
21 Sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi; sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.
Fis a Merari yo: Machli avèk Muschi. Fis a Machli yo: Éléazar avèk Kis.
22 And Eleazar dieth, and he had no sons, but daughters, and sons of Kish their brethren take 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 Sons of Mushi: Mahli, and Eder, and Jerimoth, three.
Fis a Muschi yo: Machli, Éder avèk Jerémoth, twa.
24 These [are] sons of Levi, by the house of their fathers, heads of the fathers, by their appointments, in the number of names, by their polls, doing the work for the service of the house of Jehovah, from a son 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, 'Jehovah, God of Israel, hath given rest to His people, and He doth tabernacle in Jerusalem unto the age;'
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 of the Levites, 'None [are] to bear the tabernacle and all its vessels 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 they [took] the number of the sons of Levi from a son of twenty years and upward,
Paske pa dènye pawòl a David yo, fis a Levi yo te kontwole soti ventan oswa plis.
28 for their station [is] at the side of the sons of Aaron, for the service of the house of Jehovah, over the courts, and over the chambers, and over the cleansing of every holy thing, 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 and for the bread of the arrangement, and for fine flour for present, and for the thin unleavened cakes, and for [the work of] the pan, and for that which is fried, and for all [liquid] measure and [solid] measure;
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, morning by morning, to give thanks, and to give praise to Jehovah, and so at evening;
Yo gen pou kanpe chak maten pou bay remèsiman avèk lwanj a SENYÈ a, e menm jan an nan aswè,
31 and for all the burnt-offerings — burnt-offerings to Jehovah for sabbaths, for new moons, and for appointed seasons, by number, according to the ordinance upon them continually, before Jehovah.
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 they have kept the charge of the tent of meeting, and the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the sons of Aaron, their brethren, for the service of the house of Jehovah.
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.
