1 Istwa 23
1 David te fin vye granmoun, li te fin viv kont li, lè li mete Salomon, pitit li a, wa sou pèp Izrayèl la.
Therfor Dauid was eld and ful of daies, and ordeynede Salomon, his sone, kyng on Israel.
2 Li reyini tout chèf pèp Izrayèl yo, tout prèt yo ak tout moun Levi yo.
And he gaderide togidere alle the princes of Israel, and the preestis, and dekenes;
3 Li fè konte tout moun Levi yo, depi sa ki gen trantan pou pi piti rive sou sa ki pi gran yo. Antou yo jwenn trantwimil (38.000) gason.
and the dekenes weren noumbrid fro twenti yeer and aboue, and eiyte and thretti thousynde of men weren foundun.
4 David mete vennkatmil (24.000) pou dirije travay tanp lan, simil (6000) pou ekri tou sa k'ap pase ak pou rann jistis,
And foure and twenty thousynde men weren chosun of hem, and weren departid in to the seruyce of the hows of the Lord; sotheli of souereyns, and iugis, sixe thousynde;
5 katmil (4000) pou fè pòs nan pòtay la ak katmil (4000) pou fè lwanj Seyè a ak enstriman mizik David te fè fè pou sa.
forsothe foure thousynde `porteris weren, and so many syngeris, syngynge to the Lord in orguns, whiche Dauid hadde maad for to synge.
6 David separe moun Levi yo fè twa gwoup dapre branch fanmi pitit gason Levi yo: Gèchon, Keyat ak Merari.
And Dauid departide hem bi the whilis of the sones of Leuy, that is, of Gerson, and of Caath, and Merary.
7 Gèchon te gen de pitit gason: Layedan ak Chimèyi.
And the sones of Gerson weren Leedan and Semeye.
8 Layedan te fè twa pitit gason: Yekiyèl, pi gran an, Zetam ak Joèl.
The sones of Leedan weren thre, the prince Jehiel, and Ethan, and Johel.
9 Chimeyi te fè twa pitit gason tou: Chelomit, Aziyèl ak Aran. Se yo ki te chèf fanmi moun Layedan yo.
The sones of Semei weren thre, Salamyth, and Oziel, and Aram; these weren the princes of the meynees of Leedan.
10 Chimeyi te gen kat lòt pitit gason: Jaka, Ziza, Jeouch ak Berya.
Forsothe the sones of Semeye weren Leeth, and Ziza, and Yaus, and Baria, these foure weren the sones of Semei.
11 Se Jaka ki te pi gran, Ziza te dezyèm pitit la. Jeouch ak Berya pa t' gen anpil pitit. Se konsa yo mete yo ansanm, yo pase pou yon sèl branch fanmi.
Sotheli Leeth was the formere, and Ziza the secounde; forsothe Yaus and Baria hadden not ful many sones, and therfor thei weren rikenyd in o meynee and oon hows.
12 Keyat te gen kat pitit: Amram, Jizeya, Ebwon ak Ouzyèl.
The sones of Caath weren foure, Amram, and Ysaac, Ebron, and Oziel.
13 Amram te gen de pitit gason: Arawon ak Moyiz. Bondye te mete Arawon ak pitit li yo apa pou yo okipe pyès ki apa nèt pou Bondye a, pou boule lansan devan Seyè a, pou yo sèvi l', pou yo beni pèp la nan non li. Se te travay pa yo sa pou tout tan.
The sones of Amram weren Aaron and Moyses; and Aaron was departid, that he schulde mynystre in the hooli thing of hooli thingis, he and hise sones with outen ende, and to brenne encense to the Lord bi his custom, and to blesse his name with outen ende.
14 Moyiz te moun Bondye a menm. Pitit li yo te fè pati branch fanmi Levi a tou.
Also the sones of Moyses, man of God, weren noumbrid in the lynage of Leuy.
15 Moyiz te gen de pitit gason: Gèchòm ak Elyezè.
The sones of Moises weren Gerson and Elieser.
16 Premye pitit Gèchòm lan te rele Chebwèl.
The sones of Gerson; `Subuhel the firste.
17 Elyezè li menm te gen Rekabya pou premye pitit. Li pa t' fè lòt pitit gason ankò. Men Rekabya te fè anpil pitit.
Sotheli the sones of Eliezer weren Roboya the firste, and othere sones weren not to Eliezer; forsothe the sones of Roboia weren multipliede ful miche.
18 Premye pitit Jizeya a te rele Chelomit.
The sones of Isaar; `Salumuth the firste.
19 Men pitit Ebwon yo: Premye a te rele Jerija, dezyèm lan Amarya, twazyèm lan Jakazyèl, katriyèm lan Jekameam.
The sones of Ebron; `Jerian the firste, Amarias the secounde, Jaziel the thridde, Jethamaan the fourthe.
20 Men pitit Ouzyèl yo: Miche, premye a ak Jikija, dezyèm lan.
The sones of Oziel; `Mycha the firste, Jesia the secounde.
21 Merari te gen de pitit gason: Makli ak Mouchi. Makli te gen de pitit gason: Eleaza ak Kich.
The sones of Merari weren Mooli and Musi. The sones of Mooli weren Eleazar, and Cys.
22 Eleaza mouri san kite pitit gason. Pitit fi ase li te genyen. Yo marye ak kouzen yo, pitit gason Kich yo.
Sotheli Eleazar was deed, and hadde not sones, but douytris; and the sones of Cys, the britheren of hem, weddiden hem.
23 Mouchi te gen twa pitit gason: Makli, Edè ak Jerimòt.
The sones of Musi weren thre, Mooli, and Heder, and Jerymuth.
24 Se tout moun nan ras Levi yo sa, dapre fanmi yo, ki te gen non yo kouche nan rejis tankou chèf fanmi. Yo chak te gen travay pa yo nan sèvis kay Seyè a, depi sa ki gen ventan pou pi piti rive sou pi gran yo.
These weren the sones of Leuy in her kynredis and meynees, prynces bi whilis, and noumbre of alle heedis, that diden the trauel of the seruyce of the hows of the Lord, fro twenti yeer and aboue.
25 David te di: -Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, te fè pèp li a viv ak kè poze. Li menm, Seyè a, l'ap toujou rete lavil Jerizalèm.
For Dauid seide, The Lord God of Israel hath youe reste to his puple, and a dwellyng in Jerusalem til in to with outen ende;
26 Konsa, moun Levi yo p'ap nan pote Tant Randevou Seyè a ankò ansanm ak tout bagay yo bezwen pou fè sèvis pou li ankò.
and it schal not be the office of dekenes for to bere more the tabernacle, and alle vessels therof for to mynystre.
27 Se konsa, dapre dènye pawòl sa yo David te di lè sa a, yo enskri tout moun Levi yo, depi sa ki gen ventan pou pi piti rive sou pi gran yo.
Also bi the laste comaundementis of Dauid the noumbre of the sones of Leuy schulen be rikened fro twenti yeer and aboue;
28 Travay yo se ede prèt yo, pitit Arawon yo, nan sèvis y'ap fè nan Tanp Seyè a. Se yo ki pou okipe lakou yo ak tout pyès nan Tanp lan. Se yo ki pou veye pou tout bagay rete nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye a. Se yo ki reskonsab tout lòt sèvis nan Tanp lan.
and thei schulen be vndir the hond of the sones of Aaron in to the worschipe of the hows of the Lord, in porchis, and in chaumbris, and in the place of clensyng, and in the seyntuarie, and in alle werkis of the seruyce of the temple of the Lord.
29 Yo te reskonsab pen yo te ofri bay Bondye yo, farin frans yo sèvi pou fè ofrann yo, pen san ledven yo, ofrann farin melanje ak lwil yo. Se yo ki te reskonsab peze ak mezire ofrann nan Tanp lan.
Forsothe preestis schulen be ouer the looues of proposicioun, and to the sacrifice of flour, and to the pastis sodun in watir, and to the therf looues, and friyng panne, and to hoot flour, and to seenge, and ouer al weiyte and mesure.
30 Lèfini, se pou yo la nan Tanp lan chak jou, nan maten ak nan aswè, pou di Bondye mèsi, pou fè lwanj pou li.
Forsothe the dekenes schulen be, that thei stonde eerli, for to knowleche and synge to the Lord, and lijk maner at euentide,
31 Se pou yo la tou lè y'ap fè ofrann pou yo boule nèt pou Seyè a jou repo yo, premye jou chak mwa yo, ak pou lòt jou fèt yo. Te gen regleman ki te bay travay moun Levi yo gen pou fè ak kantite moun ki pou fè chak travay. Se te reskonsablite yo pou yo te toujou ap sèvi Seyè a.
as wel in the offryng of brent sacrifices of the Lord, as in sabatis, and kalendis, and othere solempnytees, bi the noumbre and cerymonyes of eche thing contynueli bifor the Lord;
32 Se yo menm tou ki te reskonsab okipe Tant Randevou a, ak kote yo mete apa pou Seyè a, ak prèt yo, fanmi yo ki soti nan branch fanmi Arawon an, lè y'ap sèvi nan Tanp lan.
and that thei kepe the obseruaunces of the tabernacle of the boond of pees of the Lord, and the custum of the seyntuarie, and the obseruaunce of the sones of Aaron, her britheren, that thei mynystre in the hows of the Lord.
