1 Chronicles 23
1 And David is old, and satisfied with days, and causeth his son Solomon to reign over Israel,
Ko ia, ʻi heʻene hoko ʻo motuʻa lahi ʻa Tevita pea kakato ʻa hono ngaahi ʻaho, naʻa ne tuku ʻa Solomone ko hono foha ke ne tuʻi ki ʻIsileli.
2 and gathereth all the heads of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites;
Pea naʻa ne tānaki fakataha ʻae houʻeiki kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, mo e kau taulaʻeiki pea mo e kau Livai.
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.
Ka ko eni, naʻe lau hono tokolahi ʻoe kau Livai mei he taʻu ʻe tolungofulu ʻo fai hake: pea ko honau lau fakatefua, ʻae tangata taki taha, ko e tokotolu mano mo e toko valu afe.
4 Of these to preside over the work of the house of Jehovah [are] twenty and four thousand, and officers and judges six thousand,
Pea naʻe ʻoe toko ua mano mo e toko fā afe ʻae tokanga ki he ngāue ki he fale ʻo Sihova; pea ko e toko ono afe, ko e kau pule mo e kau fakamaau ʻakinautolu.
5 and four thousand gatekeepers, and four thousand giving praise to Jehovah, 'with instruments that I made for praising,' [saith David.]
Pea ko e kau leʻo matapā ʻae toko fā afe; pea ko e toko fā afe naʻe hiva kia Sihova ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa hiva ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ke fai ʻaki ʻae fakafetaʻi.
6 And David distributeth them into courses: Of the sons of Levi: of Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
Pea naʻe vahe fakalakanga ʻakinautolu ʻe Tevita, ki he ngaahi foha ʻo Livai, kia Kesomi, mo Kohate, pea mo Melali.
7 Of the Gershonite: Laadan and Shimei.
Naʻe ʻoe kau Kesomi, ʻa Latani, pea mo Simi.
8 Sons of Laadan: the head [is] Jehiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three.
Ko e ngaahi foha eni ʻo Latani; ko honau tuʻukimuʻa ʻa Sieli, mo Sitami, mo Soeli, ko e tokotolu.
9 Sons of Shimei [are] Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three; these [are] heads of the fathers of Laadan.
Ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Simi; ko Silomiti, mo ʻAsieli, mo Halani, ko e tokotolu. Ko e kau tuʻukimuʻa ʻakinautolu ni ʻi he kau mātuʻa ʻo Latani.
10 And sons of Shimei [are] Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah; these [are] sons of Shimei, four.
Pea ko e ngaahi foha eni ʻo Simi; ko Sehati, mo Sina, mo Siusi, mo Pelia. Ko e toko fā ni ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Simi
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.
Pea naʻe tuʻukimuʻa ʻi ai ʻa Sehati, pea hoko mo ia ʻa Sisa: ka naʻe ʻikai ke tokolahi ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Siusi mo Pelia; ko ia naʻe lau fakataha ai ʻakinaua ʻo fakatatau mo e fale ʻo ʻena tamai.
12 Sons of Kohath [are] Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.
Ko e ngaahi foha eni ʻo Kohate: ko ʻAmilami, mo ʻIsa, mo Hepeloni, mo ʻUsili, ko e toko fā.
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.
Pea ko e ngaahi foha eni ʻo ʻAmilami ko ʻElone mo Mōsese: pea naʻe vaheʻi ʻa ʻElone, koeʻuhi ke ne fakatapui ʻae ngaahi meʻa māʻoniʻoni lahi, ʻe ia mo hono ngaahi foha ke lauikuonga, ke tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea ke tauhi kiate ia, pea ke fakafetaʻi ki hono huafa ʻo taʻengata.
14 As to Moses, the man of God, his sons are called after the tribe of Levi.
Pea koeʻuhi ko Mōsese ko e tangata ʻae ʻOtua, naʻe lau ʻa hono ngaahi foha ki he faʻahinga ʻo Livai.
15 Sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.
Ko e ngaahi foha eni ʻo Mōsese: ko Kesomi, mo ʻEliesa.
16 Sons of Gershom: Shebuel the head.
ʻI he ngaahi foha ʻo Kesomi, naʻe tuʻukimuʻa ʻa Sipueli.
17 And sons of Eliezer are Rehabiah the head, and Eliezer had no other sons, and the sons of Rehabiah have multiplied exceedingly.
Pea ko e ngaahi foha eni ʻo ʻEliesa ko hono tuʻukimuʻa ʻa Lihapea. Pea naʻe ʻikai mo ha ngaahi foha ʻo ʻEliesa, ka naʻe tokolahi ʻaupito ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Lihapea.
18 Sons of Izhar: Shelomith the head.
ʻI he ngaahi foha ʻo ʻIsa: ko hono tuʻukimuʻa ʻa Silomiti.
19 Sons of Hebron: Jeriah the head, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
ʻI he ngaahi foha ʻo Hepeloni; ko e ʻuluaki ʻa Selia, ko hono toko ua ʻa ʻAmalia, ko hono tokotolu ʻa Saesieli, pea ko hono toko fā ʻa Sikamiami.
20 Sons of Uzziel: Micah the head, and Ishshiah, the second.
ʻI he ngaahi foha ʻo ʻUsili: ko hono ʻuluaki ʻa Maika, pea ko hono tokoua ʻa Sisia.
21 Sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi; sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.
Pea ko e ngaahi foha eni ʻo Melali ko Mali mo Musi. Ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Mali; ko ʻEliesa mo Kisi.
22 And Eleazar dieth, and he had no sons, but daughters, and sons of Kish their brethren take them.
Pea naʻe pekia ʻa ʻEliesa pea naʻe ʻikai hano foha ka ko e ngaahi ʻofefine pe: pea naʻe ohi ʻakinautolu ʻe honau kāinga ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Kisi.
23 Sons of Mushi: Mahli, and Eder, and Jerimoth, three.
Ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Musi eni: ko Mali, mo Iteli, mo Selimoti, ko e tokotolu.
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,
Ko kinautolu eni ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Livai ʻo fakatatau mo e fale ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai; ko e kau tuʻukimuʻa ʻi heʻenau ngaahi tamai, ʻo hangē ko e lau hake ʻakinautolu ʻi honau lakanga, ʻakinautolu naʻe fai ʻae ngāue ʻoe tauhi ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, mei he taʻu ʻe uofulu ʻo ʻenau motuʻa ʻo fai hake.
25 for David said, 'Jehovah, God of Israel, hath given rest to His people, and He doth tabernacle in Jerusalem unto the age;'
He naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita, “Kuo foaki ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻae mālōlō ki hono kakai, koeʻuhi ke nau nofo ʻi Selūsalema ʻo taʻengata:
26 and also of the Levites, 'None [are] to bear the tabernacle and all its vessels for its service;'
Pea ki he kau Livai foki; ʻe ʻikai te nau kei fua ʻae fale fehikitaki, pe ko e ngaahi ipu ʻi ai ʻoku fai ʻaki ʻa hono ngāue.”
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,
He ko e ngaahi lea fakamuimui ʻa Tevita naʻe lau ai ʻae kau Livai mei he uofulu taʻu ʻo ʻenau motuʻa ʻo fai hake:
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,
He ko ʻenau ngāue ʻanautolu ke tali fekau ki he ngaahi foha ʻo ʻElone, ʻi he ngāue ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova, ʻi he ngaahi lotoʻā, pea ʻi he ngaahi potu fale, pea ʻi he fakamaʻa ʻae ngaahi meʻa tapu kotoa pē, pea ʻi he ngāue ʻoe tauhi ki he fale ʻoe ʻOtua;
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;
ʻI he tokonaki ʻae mā ʻoe ʻao, mo e mahoaʻa lelei ki he feilaulau meʻakai, pea mo e foʻi mā manifi naʻe ʻikai fakalēvani, pea mo ia naʻe fakapaku, pea mo ia naʻe tunu, pea ʻi he faʻahinga meʻa fuofua kotoa pē;
30 and to stand, morning by morning, to give thanks, and to give praise to Jehovah, and so at evening;
Pea ke nau tuʻu ʻi he pongipongi kotoa pē ke fakafetaʻi mo hiva kia Sihova, pea ke pehē foki ʻi he efiafi;
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.
Pea ke ʻohake ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu kia Sihova ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho tapu, pea ʻi he ngaahi māhina foʻou, pea ʻi he ngaahi kātoanga naʻe kotofa, ʻo hangē ko hono lau, pea fakatatau mo hono lakanga naʻe fekauʻi kiate kinautolu, ʻo maʻuaipē ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova:
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.
Pea koeʻuhi ke nau tokanga ki he tauhi ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe fakataha, mo e tokanga ki he potu toputapu, mo e tokanga ki he ngaahi foha ʻo ʻElone ko honau kāinga, ʻi he ngāue ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova.
